Last Ruler Of The Empty Throne-Chapter 129: Staff, Spear, Armor

Jon had received an idea for his staff from his ’Mind world’, and immediately wanting to implement it, he decided to make the staff first.

So, as a replica, he used the flaming beetles’ scales.

He threw the scales into the furnace and threw in a first-realm core.

SHAAAAAA...

The fire’s intensity increased, then after a while of the scales melted, he pulled it out and began hammering.

CLANG...CLANG...CLANG

Without looking for any desired shape, he kept stacking melted scales upon each other. This time, he couldn’t make it four meters long and a meter wide due to the lack of material, so he made it half of it; two meters long and 50 centimeters wide.

After stacking all the scales together, he put the irregular shape back into the furnace again. And since he needed everything to melt again, he threw in another core.

Afterwards, he brought it out and began to shape it into the measurements he had made for it. With the fang of a toothed tiger, he shaped it in a circular shape. Then he placed it back into the furnace and repeated the process three times.

Then he placed the hot rod into a drum of water.

SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The steam that was emitted from the rod almost vaporized all the water in the drum; thankfully, an arrangement had already been made, and more water automatically filled the drum, then cooled the rod further.

Leaving the rod to cool, he went to the next, the spear.

This time, everything was already in his memory, so without wasting time, he took the grasshoppers’ hinges and the stronger-toothed tigers’ fangs.

After heating the hinges of the grasshopper, he also shaped it like he did for the rod; however, this time it was about five centimeters wide, enough for his hand to wrap over.

Then, for the fang, he heated and hammered until it became flat and shaped in the form of a blade.

Placing the two parts back into the furnace together, he then hammered them together and placed them in the drum of water.

Then, he went to prepare the last, the Armor.

The armor was going to be a leather one, combining the outer layer of the special crocodile and the important parts of the blue snake. So, in this method, the only part that needed to be melted was the dark scale on the snake responsible for the scales it threw at Jon.

First, he soaked the leather in hot water and then threw the black scale into the furnace.

Pulling the leather from the hot water, he began shaping the body to his size. Then, pulling out the melted black scale, he fitted and shaped it on the left hand of the armor.

Also, placing it in the water drum, he let it cool off for a moment.

Then, he picked up the already cooled-off staff.

Like the flaming beetles, its body was plain black, and its measurement was exactly half of what he had designed in his ’Mind world’. Now, it was time to draw out its potential. With another thought, he was holding a core and a specific one at that. It was the core of the flaming lion he met on his way to his dormitory back at the university.

However, that wasn’t all. He then took out a normal first realm core and attached it to the staff.

He closed his eyes and appeared in the familiar black expanse of land. And maybe because he had experienced a tougher battle in the ’Mind world’, he was able to reach out to the light and pull it immediately.

Hummmmm....

The harmonious sound he had only heard in the ’Mind world’ was now out on display, and then the blinding light.

’There’s no difference.’ The feeling he got from it in the ’Mind world’ was the same as he was getting in real life.

However, he didn’t put much thought into it as the light deemed and revealed the staff.

Now, the staff was much darker, well, that was if it was possible. And instead of fumes of purple like he had seen in the ’Mind world’, this time, there were fumes of flames.

"Woww..." Looking at the fumes of flames emitting from both ends of the staff involuntarily brought a smile to his face. He reached and touched the staff,

[’TROLL DEFENSE STAFF’ (BLACK RANK):

EFFECT 1: USING 30 POINTS OF MANA COAT USER AND STAFF IN FLAME FOR 5 SECONDS.

ATTACK POWER: 500

DURABILITY: 500

DESCRIPTION: STAFF MADE FROM THE COMBINATION OF BEETLE SCALES AND FLAME LION CORE. BLACKSMITH WAS ABLE TO BRING OUT 40% DUE TO THE WRONG USE OF MATERIAL.

’Well,’ he didn’t know what to say. He understood what the system was trying to say. The beetle would have been better as a shield than an attack weapon, however, he had yet to find the monster that could fit his choices.

And because he couldn’t draw out its full potential, the beetle’s body that could normally withstand level above 40 power was now limited. Maybe the reason it was that high and the second effect was there was due to the second core he added.

Though he didn’t fully understand the attack power and durability numbers, he understood that the higher it was, the stronger it was. Still satisfied with his work, he put that aside and went unto the spear.

After placing the shadow cat’s core and drawing out its potential, the spear reacted just as it did in the ’Mind world’

It shook and revealed a dark green body and a grey blade.

[’GREEN SHADOW SPEAR’ (BLACK RANK):

EFFECT 1: SPEAR EMBODIES THE MOVEMENT OF SHADOW CATS; MOVEMENT OF THE SPEAR CAN NOT BE ACCURATELY JUDGED WITH THE ORDINARY EYE FOR BEINGS BELOW LEVEL 50

EFFECT 2: USING 50 POINTS OF MANA, ELONGATE THE BLADE OF THE SPEAR BY 6 INCHES.

ATTACK POWER: 700

DURABILITY: 600

DESCRIPTION: SPEAR MADE WITH THE COMBINATION OF THE FANG OF CLAW-TOOTHED TIGERS, FRONT LEG OF HOPPER, AND SHADOW CAT CORE. BLACKSMITH WAS ABLE TO BRING OUT 50% POTENTIAL DUE TO THE INABILITY TO DRAW POTENTIAL FROM HOPPER.

Strangely, the spear was better than the staff.

’Not bad...’ he was satisfied with the progress he was making in the potential part. The first effect and third were from the fang of the toothed tiger, and the second effect was from the core of the shadow cats he used.

Put it aside and brought the body armor.

Placing the core at the center of the armor, he focused on it,

Hummmmmm....

Within seconds, he had finished, and the description showed up.

[’REPTILE BODY ARMOR’ (BLACK RANK):

EFFECT 1: USING 40 POINTS OF MANA, THE GREEN SHIELD COVERS THE FULL BODY OF THE ARMOR USER. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

His excitement was also cut by another message,

[BLACKSMITH SKILL HAD BEEN FORCIBLY EVOLVED TO (FIRST REALM) LEVEL 3]

[BLACKSMITH (FIRST REALM) LEVEL 3: YOU NOW HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE CALLED A BLACKSMITH

SUCCESS RATE OF CREATING A BLACK RANK WEAPON: 60%]

"Haa...finally," He exhaled and sat on the floor.

-Not bad at all.

Amelia touched the weapons and saw the description.

’That was intense, so how many days?’

-7 days, 4 in that world, and 3 making the weapons.

’Is it the placing of the cores that made it 3 days?’ He asked to be sure. The last time he went to the blacksmith, he had ended up using just minutes to create a weapon, but now it was days.

-Exactly, you had finished all the making under a day, but that fitting made it longer.

Amelia confirmed his thoughts; however, he couldn’t understand how it worked. Like the ’Mind world’, he didn’t even spend up to an hour, however, days were passing by.

’So did anything happen?’ He asked.

-Yeah, the old man checked your work. Your little girls came looking for you, it seemed urgent, however, they didn’t want to disturb you.

Jon would have reacted when she said, ’Little girls’, however, hearing the word, he held onto it.

’What happened?’

Then, just in time, Nancy and Cynthia entered the blacksmith, and their faces looked filled with worry.

"What happened?" Jon frowned and looked at them.

The girls looked at each other for a moment, then Nancy spoke,

"We received an intercom from the mayor of the Overberg district."
