Sword that evolves?

After regaining consciousness, Aldric slowly rose to his feet, his head throbbing like a drum. As his vision cleared, he was taken aback by the chaotic state of the room. "What in the world happened while I was unconscious?" he wondered aloud.

Recalling the sword, Aldric made his way towards the altar, only to be surprised by what he found. The once formidable blade, radiating a menacing aura, now lay beneath a rock, seemingly lifeless. He removed the rock and gingerly picked up the sword, feeling a sense of familiarity. Suddenly, the voice of the System echoed in his mind, proclaiming, [Congratulations to the user for equipping the Ruinshard Blade].Curiosity piqued, Abyss sought further explanation from the System.

[The Ruinshard Blade is one of the six Legendary Blades crafted by a demi-god blacksmith,] the System began. "[These blades were hidden from the world due to their immense power, once deemed calamitous enough to bring about the end of the world.]

Abyss nodded, recalling the inscriptions on the wall. Eager for more information, he pressed the System for further details.

[Master Shura, the only demi-god blacksmith in Warna, created these swords upon reaching the demi-god blacksmith rank,"] the System continued. [Each sword was named after the unique property it possessed. The first sword, 'The Idol,' inspired reverence. The second, 'The Pity,' evoked sorrow. The third, 'The Sacrifice,' craved more. The fourth, 'The Salvation,' absolved others of sin. The fifth, 'The Prayer,' heeded the requests of others. And finally, the sixth and most dangerous of them all, 'The Ruinshard,' the sword of shattered realms.]

Intrigued, Abyss inquired about the reason behind the Ruinshard's classification as the most perilous blade.

[Its danger lies in its ability to evolve,] the System revealed.

"Evolving? The sword can evolve?" Abyss exclaimed, astonished by the revelation.

[Yes, it can evolve by consuming mana cores and Arcane blades,] the System confirmed.

Perceiving the potential of his newfound weapon, Abyss resolved to create a sheath for the Ruinshard. Carrying a sword without a sheath would only make him appear like a common bandit. With the System's assistance, he requested the creation of a hilt using materials from his inventory.

[Materials required for the hilt: 5 iron and 2 banium ingots. Shall I retrieve them from the user's inventory?]the System inquired.

"Proceed," Abyss replied. Suddenly, 5 iron and 2 banium ingots materialized from Abyss's inventory, leaving him momentarily bewildered by the unexpected occurrence.

[The user is advised to utilize Compound Synthesis to craft the sword hilt. By visualizing the desired appearance and size, the user can customize the hilt according to their preference,] the System instructed.

Following the System's guidance, Abyss held the gathered ingots in his hand, envisioning the design he desired. "Compound Synthesis," he murmured, and the ingots levitated in the air, gradually taking the form of a pitch-black hilt adorned with intricately carved dragons. After a short while, the hilt was complete.

As Aldric prepared to depart, he recalled the armor he had noticed earlier. "There must be a reason for its presence here. I should take it with me," he reasoned. Approaching the armour, he equipped it, feeling a surge of strength and protection. "Now, it's time to leave," Aldric declared, ready to embark on his next adventure.
