System: Inherited

After the completion, he placed it back in the formation and began to chant in the Elven Language again to seal the staff.

"I, Lucas Heart, take a solemn vow that this weapon shall be used for not harming people but for saving them. This weapon shall stand against forces of evil, and I shall be the sole Blacksmith for this weapon".

After the chant, the weapon began to float mid-air. It took shape, and it was something he didn't expect. The crystals he had placed inside began to come outside, and his Mana Channels were now connecting.

He never planned for something like this to happen, and he was shocked when he saw this. He didn't know how to respond, as now even compound elements could be commanded using the staff. 

"This is like an upgrade to my original plan", he exclaimed like a little kid. He didn't have time to make another one, as there was very little time for the plan to begin. He also needed to inform everyone of the mission for tonight.

He had asked Kate to come as a missionary to avoid suspicion. He knew that if he went in with a mission from the King from out of nowhere, it would sound extremely suspicious. Thus he had a solid plan.

"Remember, the reason you are seeking us out is due to us clearing the Portal of UCDM. They had recommended us when The Royal Family asked for someone competent to carry out the mission. Understood?", he asked one last time before he brought Kate inside his house.

She nodded her head as she too understood the importance of hiding his identity. The two of them entered, and they saw that everyone was gathered.

Lucas went to the table and took a seat along with his friends. Everyone looked at him and the woman who had entered. Emilia felt something in her heart tug, but she took a deep breath and suppressed the feeling. 

Kate looked around at everyone and she was taken aback at first. But as she remembered the individuals she had met during her two-year journey, she smiled. "Seems like he has found a good bunch", she thought.

"Everyone, I thank you all for gathering here on such short notice. As you must have heard the announcement in the afternoon, we are now at war, and the enemy is coming towards us as we speak".

"We have a suspicion that someone from within the Kingdom has been working alongside them and feeding them with important information. We are planning to smoke them out, and we will need your help in this operation".

"The leader of this operation will be Lucas here. We have seen your performance in the Portal, and we are impressed. We have related the plan to him, and it will commence this midnight".

"Make sure that you are ready. Our people will be here to guide you to the location on fifteen", she finished and turned around. She left the place and an eerie silence fell upon everyone.

Lucas looked around and saw all the eyes on him. He thought he would avoid such a situation by bringing Kate as someone from the Royal Palace. But seems like it had the wrong effect.

"You have a girlfriend from The Royal Palace?!", exclaimed Tobias. Lucas wanted to smack the living lights out of him right after he heard that.

Robert on the other hand a smile across his face. He knew he was the Prince, and if he also knew the Royal Family had a Princess.

He didn't want to interrupt the fun that was going around, and the expression on Emilia's face was different. It was a smile that was trying to hide the pain behind it.

Lucas noticed it, but it was best left for the time as there were more pressing matters at hand right now. He laughed and went to the Smithy to retrieve the weapons he had made for them.

He brought up two boxes, and he placed them in front of them. Tobias's eyes were shining right after he saw the boxes. He was rubbing his hands together like he was a kid waiting for his birthday present.

Lucas wanted to laugh but he held it in. He opened up the shorter box and in it was Tobias's gauntlets. He also brought the device to see the specifications of the Gauntlet.

[King Tier Weapon - Shocker's Gauntlet]

[Active Skill 1 - Lightning Blade]

[Create a blade made of Pure Lightning from your fingertips]

[Combat Skill - Hidden Aura Blade]

[Inject your Aura to activate the Hidden Blade in the Gauntlet]

[Mana Repair - Inject your Mana into the Gauntlet to restore Durability]

Tobias was elated when he saw the specifications of his Gauntlet. he quickly wore it and began to perform his Martial Arts. He was engrossed in his world, and the sparkle in his eyes was increasing with every punch he threw.

"If only there was a matching pair of boots", he muttered and Lucas heard it. He was planning the same thing, and he placed his hands on his shoulder. He didn't want to let him know of his plans.

"Tobias, in this world there are a lot of things that you can attain. While some others are just out of reach. Instead of looking at the 'if I had this', look at what you have and be happy with it", advised Lucas.

Robert nodded his head in approval. Although Tobias acted like a kid most of the time, he was sensible enough to understand the meaning behind Lucas's words. He smiled as he received the gauntlets with gratitude.

Next came the long box he had placed. He opened it up and everyone saw the staff in it. The staff was three-foot-long, and it was light.

He handed it to Emilia, who received it with a smile on her face. She was happy about him making something for her, and this made the knot in her heart go away temporarily.

[King Tier Weapon - Staff Of The Elves]

[Passive Skill - Elemental Manipulation effectiveness increased by 50 Percentage]

[Active Skill 1 - Elemental Warrior]

[Summon an elemental Warrior to fight alongside you. Maximum number of summons at a single time - 3]

[Combat Skill - Extend/Shrink at Will]

[The Staff can be extended or shrunken down at the user's will. Limit of extension is three feet]

[Mana Repair - Inject your Mana into the Gauntlet to restore Durability]

Emilia was delighted the moment she saw the specifications.  The happiness she felt was off the roof. She was spinning the staff around, and she was about to extend. 

"Don't do that here. Although we have space here, let's do that outside. Shall we?", said Lucas with a smile. Emilia followed behind him and they left the house. 

She extended the staff, and it was taller than her now. She still felt that it was extremely light, and she still couldn't find the material from which it was made of.

Just as she was about to voice her doubts, Lucas cleared his throat. 

"The material for this staff and the Pure Elemental Energy Crystal inside are the payments that I had received from them. Think of this staff as a reward for the defense of the kingdom. The material used to make this stuff is extremely rare, and it cannot be found that easily", he said.

He didn't want to reveal too much right now, and keeping it under wraps was the best for them all. It also had one other function that Lucas had found out using his [Inspect].

[Compatibility - This Staff is now compatible with all kinds of Armor that are made by Lucas Heart. Synergy with the pieces will be 100%]

This was something he didn't expect. He was thinking that he needed to make an armor practically out of the branch once again, but it seemed like the words in the formation did something to make it compatible with only pieces made by him.

This was a piece of good news for him, as he didn't need to ask his father for the materials again. He knew that if he asked again, he would receive it without question. But something inside him was making him feel guilty about it.

Right after he had distributed the weapons and everyone was smiling, he began to elaborate his plan about how to draw them out. He had split them into two teams.. Tobias, Michelle, and Emilia were to defend the main entrance, and Lucas and Robert were to wait in ambush near the fake entrance.
