A004 – Advanced Blacksmith

A004 – Advanced Blacksmith

Time passed slowly.

Two hours passed unknowingly as Shuna was busy forging her weapon. Hecate watched the entire forging procedure until the cooling process with a tranquil heart.

There was another similar blades with the one Shuna just forged in the cooling basin. Then, Shuna connected the two hiltless blade into one. It turned out that those two items weren't meant to be blades at all, but two parts of a bow!

After Shuna installed the bow strings to the bow, a message appeared in front of her eyes.

DING!

; ; Forging process completed!

Please decide a name to your newly forged weapon!

Tips: You can use the virtual keyboard to type the name.

Improper and banned words are not allowed to use.

Shuna quietly said.

"Sagittarius MK II"

Sagittarius was the name of her original bow that got plundered by Black Phantom, and MK II means this is the 2nd version of the bow. She decided to use this name as a reminder so that she won't forget.

Reminder about the humiliation bought by Black Phantom!

; ; Scanning the name... Name can be used!

Are you sure you want to use Sagittarius MK II as the weapon's name?

The name can't be changed afterwards!

Yes No

She unhesitatingly pressed [Yes] as she gritted her teeth, desperately suppressing her hatred. In any case, there was no way she would let herself show unsightly face in the presence of others, especially right in front of everyone's mascot, Hecate-chan!

Immediately afterwards, a new window popped out.

Spoiler ; ; You have crafted Sagittarius MK II - Exp +1200

It brings good luck and reduces enemy morale.

Shuna was excited.

"Oh yes! Thank you God! This stat is a good start!"

She looked at the attribute of the bow and she satisfied with the result. At least, the initial stats was better than the original bow that she crafted long time ago.

Since Shuna's stat fulfilled the bow's requirement, she did not need the Crafter Privilege and can unleash 100% of its power.

Now all that left was to collect all the materials required to upgrade her bow. It probably takes an enormous amount of Iron, Silver, Mithril and other materials to upgrade until it reach +7. And with the power of Genesis Guild, it shouldn't take too long to collect all of it.

But the message was not over yet.

; ; Metallurgy has reached Lv6!

Now you can process metals, minerals, and ores with rarity < 6.

"Go ahead, my disciple! What do you want to ask?"

Dalmagna says to Hecate as he took the last beer bottle and opened the plug.

She then continued.

"My Metallurgy evolved to Mysticallurgy. Teacher, do you know anything about this skill?"

"Heh?!"

Dalmagna was about to move the bottle mouth to his lips, but his hand stopped midway.

Mysticallurgy? What's that? Evolution of Metallurgy skill?

He didn't know such thing existed.

"My disciple, Hecate. Can you elaborate what is Mysticallurgy that you speak off?"

"Yes, please wait for a moment."

A picture can describe thousand of words.

Rather than explaining with her mouth, Hecate thinks it would be faster for Dalmagna to see himself what the skill really is.

She manipulated the game interface and clicked the Mysticallurgy skill, then she switched the show option to ON. With a swipe, she rotated the window so Dalmagna can read the skill information.

; ; Skill Name: Mysticallurgy (Lv7) Requirements: Metallurgy + Magicallurgy Type: Passive Effect: Inherits Metallurgy and Magicallurgy effect.

Metallurgy (Lv7)

Magicallurgy (Lv7)

Can process any mystical and magical object with rarity < 7.

Can imbue the user's craft with magic.

'A conjunction skill of Metallurgy and Magicallurgy... But what the heck is Magicallurgy?'

Dalmagna was shocked after looking at Hecate's skill window. He used his finger to click the expand button to view more of the detail of both skills.

He couldn't help but baffled with the unfamiliar skills. This information subverts his view greatly. As far as he know, there was nothing sort of skill named Magicallurgy in the Blacksmith Subclass. And then, fusion of the two skills, what concept was this?

However, he knows... Every Native knows...

'The sacred window granted by the Goddess of Life, Norn... The "Syeistheem" window cannot be faked!'

In other words, although it was unbelievable, Hecate speaks the truth and did not lie.

Curious, Dalmagna asked her with a serious face.

"Hecate... How did you acquire this skill?"

"Umm, I also didn't too understand... Skill Resonation? Or perhaps that what it was called?"

Hecate lied without blinking.

She would like to share the information about Skill Assimilation Orb to Dalmagna. But since Shuna was one of his disciple, if she told Dalmagna about that item's existence, there was a chance that it would enter Leon's ears.

'If Leon-sama finds out that I got the Skill Assimilation Orb, he might notice that I am the Black Phantom that everyone is looking for. I'm sorry, teacher... I don't want to take such a big risk!'

Hence, disclosing the information here would only brings her disadvantage.

'Since teacher didn't seem to know about this skill, then there is no need to inquire further.'

Meanwhile, Dalmagna fell into a deep thought from Hecate's answer.

Skill Resonation... This also another new term that he never heard about, but from the name itself already clear enough for Dalmagna to understand the meaning.

'I see... there is something like that too. When someone learn a new skill that have great compatibility with any of their learned skills, those skills will unavoidably empower each other. Skill Resonation... so this what it was called?'

Originally this was something that Hecate made up to give Dalmagna some vague answer, but it turned out to become a new term that will soon acknowledged and become widely known.

However, that was for another matter.
