Path Extinction
The design twinkled in the air as though in an attempt to consume the pregnant silence. Whether it was Aberardus or Okie, if it hadn't been for the fact that they had personally witnessed Ryu in action, they would have never believed that this design was constructed by him.
The main issue wasn't even where the design came from. It was easy for Okie to dismiss it and simply believe that it was the work of someone else. But, it was a different matter entirely after seeing Ryu draw it personally.
It couldn't be said that what Ryu had done was just as hard as forging the weapon itself, but it was only a few steps down. To layer the complexities in this way required an in depth understanding of the entire process from start to finish to begin with. It wasn't something that could just be memorized. Or, at the very least, memorizing it without understanding wouldn't have allowed the process to go as smoothly as it had.
