After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1891

Chapter 1891: Upgraded Weapon

While Garan was stuck, Althea still had much room to grow, and the current levels of monsters and the training hall were enough for her, even until she reached his current level.

Althea took out her sword, which had been improved to handle more monsters of her level.

It was no longer the same katana she started with, and not even the same as the one upgraded by Brenda back then. The former could only handle monsters until level 5 or so, while the latter could handle monsters just above level 10.

This time, the katana had become a proper peak Class-D sword made for her by the weaponsmith team, and then went through some tempering using Garan’s ability. It was a gift from Garan for her birthday this year.

Garan learned a lot with them, especially when it came to the criel metal. He and Oslo were actually the greatest elemental contributors to its study.

Although the weapon was technically D-class, it was akin to a C-class weapon in terms of durability and strength. It was especially amazing because Garan was not a weaponsmith, yet what he did enhanced the item rather than disrupting the weapons’ internal arrays.

This was actually unheard of, even the Grandmasters said so, but their family had a lot of oddities, and some theories were floating inside people’s heads, just that no one was really wording things out because they didn’t know how to.

Anyway, for the first few hours, Althea mastered the handling of her sword. She memorized its length, its weight, what was the best angle for the sharpest slice, and even how to swipe at awkward angles.

They couldn’t always get a clear shot, right? Garan taught her that there would be plenty of times when she’d be hurt or thrown down, and it was impossible for her to get the proper stance. In those cases, he taught her how to either escape, make space, or even cause damage, even in awkward positions.

This way, even if she was cornered and even if one appendage wasn’t working, she would not be helpless. This was her request of him. She was weak compared to their enemies, and although she had a lot of cards, she might not always be in a position to use them.

The atmosphere around Garan turned cold just at the image of her in pain, and Althea had to hug him and give him a few pecks to calm him down.

It was only then that she could place herself in awkward positions and actually risk losing skin. Whenever she did, and she asked him not to move, Garan would always look like he was the one physically injured.

Other than her sword skills, she wanted to try one of her theoretical skills, ones related to her elements. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After learning that she could use things like cactus to shield and spike, increasing her offense as a wood user, her mind worked and branched out on other possible techniques. However, she only had time to do a few experiments and trials until now.

She wanted to try it in actual battles now. Once again, she used the cactus, one of her more flexible plant partners.

Interestingly, she could control it with either her wood or her water element. With this, she could adjust the energy consumption accordingly, because using whichever element was abundant at a certain place and time consumed less energy.

Interestingly, using cactus also helped with her ability to control water, too.

Imagine dropping a small cup of colored dye into a large bucket of water. It would normally take time and some movement to spread out, but with this reaction, it would be like the dye would teach the nearby molecules to turn into dye too. It wouldn’t dilute either.
