Chapter 101: Niflheimr (13) (2)
[Primordial Forge Lv.Max]
Theva is boiling.
Bubbles burst, releasing heat.
Yu extended her hand, and a transparent aura surrounded me.
Master, please be careful. The temperature is high.
I looked ahead.
Lava gathered to form a smallke. The Primordial Forge. It was a special facility that could be obtained by reaching the highest level of the Equipment Forge and satisfying a few secret conditions. Its effect was simple.
It can create special items.
However, there were several penalties.
Lets get ready.
Yes.
Yu put a ck coat on me.
The hot air seemed to subside. It seemed to have a temperature-reducing effect.
[Prove your mastery.]
Yus voice echoed widely throughout the cave.
Sizzle. I looked at my left hand. ck lightning was emanating from the ring on my index finger.
Yus eyes shone blue and then dimmed.
And.
[Equipment forging begins!]
A hologram window appeared at the top of my field of vision.
I was familiar with it, having seen it hundreds of times. It was the crafting window from Pick Me Up.
A growth-type weapon.
I had been making items for heroes whose growth was almostplete.
But now, I was far from bearing fruit. I needed to change my approach. I adjusted the details.
Type, Special.
Form, Longsword.
Method, Casting.
I touched the Yes button at the bottom.
Please input materials.
[Avable Materials]
[Materials can be ssified by type.]
[Niflheimr Steel (A) x 207]
[Mithril (S) x 193]
[Hellhorse Leather (A) x 93]
[Scale of the Ocean King x 13]
[Heavenly Crystal]
A list of materials stored in Niflheimrs warehouse appeared.
I started sorting them by category. Ores went with ores, leather with leather. After finishing the ssification, I recited the items to be used.
9 Niflheimr Steel, 5 Mithril, 3 ck Iron, 2 Oriharukon, 1 Neb, 5 Hells Crystals
A white magic circle appeared on the right side of the forge.
Materials began to appear on the magic circle. I envisioned the finished product in my mind while reciting the names of the materials.
13 types of ores.
10 types of leather.
15 types of crystals.
9 types of wood.
8 misceneous items.
I decided to use a total of 55 types of materials.
A misty dimensional portal appeared on the left side of the forge.
From the dimensional portal emerged an old man with a bushy beard.
Why have you summoned me?
What? The Master is here?
The old mans eyes widened as he looked at me.
W-what!
Ah, yes!
The old man hurriedly disappeared.
Was it always like this
At the same time,
[Equipment Forge Lv.Max!]
[The condition is perfect. With the right conditions, the best weapon will be created!]
[Affiliated Facilities cksmithy (Lv.max), Carpentry (Lv.max), Workshop (Lv.max), Enchantment (Lv.max), Alchemy ]
[Personnel in waiting 135]
The material on the magic circle turned into light and scattered.
The blueprint?
I looked to my side.
Yus robe was fluttering intensely. Numerous magic circles appeared and disappeared in the air.
The air distorted, revealing a scene.
It was a cksmiths shop with various toolsrge and small. An old man was wiping sweat in there, and many people were bustling around.
Assembly isplete, but using 13 types of ores wont be easy, right? Their properties dont match at all
The scene in the air became blurry.
Yu turned to me and said, Master, are you sure about this? Based on the calctions, the crafting difficulty is higher than expected.
How much?
It seems challenging even for Hellish difficulty.
That would be God-like.
That was the difficulty when crafting the Five Sacred Weapons.
It might be even higher.
Lets find out. Is the enchantment ready?
Yes.
Then, lets go.
Crafting was manual.
The Primordial Forge didnt operate automatically. Next was the difficulty selection screen. From the lowest tier below to the top tier of Super Hellish. The crafting puzzle was categorized into eight difficulty levels.
Basically.
I pressed the forge icon on the left.
[He who wants to enter hell, offer a sacrifice.]
A burning effect appeared in the crafting window.
[Hell]
[Primordial Forge, effect activated!]
[Insert the item. Hidden difficulty levels are unlocked depending on the grade of the sacrifice.]
Stormbringer, Begalta, Azoth.
Yes.
Three swords floated above thevake.
They had high grades despite having no owners. Moreover, they were receable weapons. The swords melted into theva.
Three.
I sacrificed three weapons of S rank or higher.
When making the Five Sacred Weapons, it was only one. Even when making Levateinn, I only used two.
[You offered a worthy sacrifice.]
[I will open the true gates of hell.]
[Enchantment Difficulty Super God-Like]
Super God-like, huh.
I clicked my tongue.
I had half-expected it.
Weapons that changed dynamically had an incredibly high crafting difficulty.
Thats why I hadnt attempted growth-type equipment until now. Even in Niflheimr, losing hundreds of top-tier materials at once was a big blow.
[Difficulty penalty activated!]
[Facilitys effect reduced to 1/3.]
[Sess Probability: Impossible Guaranteed failure. Do not proceed.]
[Do you want to proceed?]
[Yes/No]
They say not to do it, but Ive already offered the sacrifice.
Yu smiled.
It seems theres no turning back.
I shrugged my shoulders.
I cleared my mind of distractions one by one. I had casually handled Super Hellish difficulty puzzles, but it was a different story from Super God-Like or higher. A single mistake could lead to failure.
Almost a year.
Time spent solely on puzzles.
While everyone else automated their crafting, I became obsessed with manual crafting. I researched the patterns of the puzzles and practiced countless times. All to provide stronger weapons to the heroes.
The Hand of Heaven.
Also called the Soundrend Hand.
Another nickname that someone had given me.
Does this puzzle have meaning?
Of course.
Is that so?
[Do you want to proceed?]
[Yes (selected) / No]
I pressed the selection screen.
