[Golem Synergy Network (Utility Skill)]
[Summon Elemental Golem (Conditional Active Skill) Lv. 1]
[Golem Core Forging (Production Skill)]
[Elemental Command Slots (Utility Skill) Lv. 1]
[Elemental Forge Storage (Utility Skill) Lv. 1]
[Golem Frame Construction (Production Skill) Lv. 1]
[Elemental Blueprint Synthesis (Production Skill) Lv. 1]
There were seven skills listed under the Elemental Forger class, and Broken decided to tackle them in order of complexity, starting with the easiest to understand and test.
The first skill was:
[Golem Synergy Network (Utility Skill)]
[Link multiple active golems into a network for coordinated attacks, defensive formations, or joint abilities.]
This skill was straightforward in concept. It allowed him to group certain golems into a cohesive unit, enabling them to work together more effectively. The coordination made it easier to control the golems, streamlining their actions and ensuring they functioned as a team rather than as separate entities.
The skill also directly connected to the second skill, which built on this synergy.
[Summon Elemental Golem (Conditional Active Skill) Lv. 1]
[Summon golems across great distances, even from different realms, provided they are within the same area or Synergy Network.
Mana Cost per Golem: 100 Mana
Cooldown: 24 hours.]
This was the skill Broken had used back then to summon Blackthorn into Gremory's Trial Domain.
The skill was impressive because of its capacity to summon multiple golems at once, as long as they were either in the same physical area or connected through the Golem Synergy Network.
What set this skill apart was its remarkable synergy with Blackthorn, a golem designed to carry others within its very structure.
This combination had been nothing short of game-breaking during Gremory's Trial Domain. By summoning Blackthorn with a person inside, Broken had effectively bypassed one of the domain's core restrictions.
Ordinarily, transporting a person between realms was a feat of rare and extraordinary power. Yet, through the seamless interaction of Summon Elemental Golem and Blackthorn, Broken accomplished this with ease.
Thanks to these extraordinary skills, he successfully summoned Blackthorn along with Ivana to Hell itself. The occurrence unfolded across two worlds, making it a truly magnificent and momentous event!
Broken took a deep breath before diving into the core of the Elemental Forger class-the foundational steps of Golem Creation.
"Did it work?"
"Yes," Broken confirmed with a grin. "It became a Unique-grade Golem Core!"
"Does that mean the grade always goes up if you use a Monster Soul Stone?"
Broken shook his head, sighing lightly. "I doubt it. I think the results are still random. But...
it's possible that using a Monster Soul Stone might give the Golem Core special traits tied to
the original monster."
Aerin nodded. "The potential of a Monster Soul Stone is impressive, but the value is
incredibly high..."
"Exactly," Broken agreed. "Considering how valuable they are, it feels like a steep cost for crafting Golem Cores unless it's for something truly exceptional."
[Elemental Command Slots (Utility Skill) Lv. 1]
[Manage the number of active golems you can control simultaneously. Active golems respond
to commands and perform tasks, while dormant golems remain inactive in the Elemental
Forge Storage.]
[Control 2 active golems.]
The next skill was fairly straightforward. At Level 1, Broken could control up to two active
golems simultaneously.
With Blackthorn already filling one of those slots as a Legendary-grade golem, he didn't feel
pressured to rush.
Blackthorn's versatility and power made it an ideal primary golem, so he could take his time experimenting to create a second golem that either complemented Blackthorn's abilities or served a completely different purpose, such as support, utility, or scouting.
"You can construct multiple golems at once and only activate the ones you need," Aerin
remarked.
Broken nodded. "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing."
"Got any ideas?"
"Not much," Broken admitted. "More like ways to deal with problems I'm too lazy to face-
like boring long-distance travel... or having to stay in one place for blacksmithing."
Aerin smiled knowingly. "Then why not create a mobile blacksmith workshop? That way, you
can travel long distances and still get your work done."
"That's a really fun idea! Let's see if it's something I can actually make happen."
With that, it was time to move on to the next skill.
