MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

After Julian explained a few more things about Hal to Valyr, specifically the man’s weaknesses, the former eventually left the latter on his own once he had made sure that Valyr had committed his words to memory, allowing the young man to focus all of his attention on forging once more.

Due to his increased forging speed thanks to [Forger of Epics] and [Forger of Artifacts], Valyr zoomed through most of the forging process while making the weapons he was planning to sell.

However, this increased forging speed quickly canceled itself once he had activated [Hunter’s Tracking Eyes] and [True Prodigious Blacksmith’s Sight], taking his time to iron out as much of the dissonant parts of the weapons as possible.

Nevertheless, by the time the young man had run out of materials to work with, he had forged a total of 10 weapons, each weapon being a different type from the previous one. Unsurprisingly, with his experience, his class, his skills, and his forging hammer working together, all of the weapons he had forged were of a high rarity, making Valyr incredibly certain that people would definitely flock to buy his work.

‘Speaking of which…’ As a thought surfaced in his mind, Valyr grabbed a chisel from the tool rack within the workshop before picking up some of the scrap metal that was left over from the forging.

Putting all of it into the furnace, he then formed the molten amalgam of scrap metal into a cylinder before chiseling out the negative of what would be his forging mark.

Or more specifically, Ylvar’s mark.

“That should do.” Looking at the negative he had made in satisfaction, Valyr put the newly made stamp into the furnace to heat up its edge before using it to imprint the mark he had made on the weapons.

Admiring the mark he had made for a bit, which was that of a star with two blades running through it in a cross pattern, he then imprinted the same mark on the nine remaining weapons, a faint smile adorning his face once he was done.

After that, he sent a message to Julian regarding the weapons he had forged, prompting the latter to head to the workshop to take a look at what the man had created. Unsurprisingly, each weapon was more than enough to leave the middle-aged man at a loss for words, with one weapon prompting him to look at the young man in disbelief.

“Are you sure you wanna sell this?” Raising up a simple-looking spear, Julian posed the question to Valyr, a conflicted expression on his face. “You do know such an equipment would even have the guild’s elders fight for it, right?”

“And that means more money for me…” said Valyr in response, letting out a peal of laughter as he identified the spear once more.

Ding!

[Halberd of Great Beginnings] (Level 40)

Rarity: Epic

Attack: 769 – 1280

ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm Forge Quality: Exceptional

Though it may be a simple-looking spear made by an incredibly prodigious blacksmith using considerably crude materials, the latent potential of the materials used in the spear have been fully drawn out, prompting the wielder to feel like the entire halberd was made of a single material.

With the blacksmith putting all of his focus and care into the creation of this spear, imbuing the properties of the artifact ‘Hammer of Beginnings’ into it, this spear boasts a level of strength that matches even weapons one would find in legends, allowing one to cleave even the skies with ease.

<Innate Skill 1: Sky Cleaver – Allows the user to attack in a horizontal arc, dealing damage equivalent to 200% of the user’s Attack stat within a radius equivalent to the spear’s length. Has a considerable chance of greatly knocking the enemy back. Cooldown: 1 minute. Cost: 2,500 MP.>

<Innate Skill 2: Full Potential – Increases the user’s Attack stat by 5%.>

Remarks: The entire world would be jealous of owning such a weapon.

“Haah…” Letting out an audible sigh as he looked at the young man, a bitter smile soon appeared on Julian’s face as he thought about what Valyr aimed to do with the weapons in the first place. “Since that’s the case, I might as well having this thing be sold in an auction, rather than through the guild’s usual channels.”

“With that, if you have something else to add to this item that would increase its value even further, then I won’t stop you from doing so.” Putting the nine weapons Valyr had forged into his personal spatial bracelet in the meantime, Julian gave the Epic grade spear to the young man, pondering for a bit as to what kind of unique skill the young man would show him.

However, what greeted him instead was the sight of the young man imbuing the spear with his own mana a few times, causing a slight frown to appear on his face.

“I guess that’s all I can do for the meantime that would really increase its value.” Uttering these words, Valyr gave the spear back to Julian, who identified the weapon in an instant as he thought that the young man had ruined it.

Instead, after reading through the skill’s renewed description, that thought swiftly disappeared from his mind as Julian was left looking at Valyr in front of him in great shock, his mouth turning agape from the sheer unexpectedness of what the young man had done.

‘Did he just… awaken all three possible attributes on a weapon?’

‘Am I dreaming or something?’

“Ahem.” Realizing that he was showing an unprofessional side to the young man, Julian quickly composed himself as he placed the spear into his personal spatial bracelet, making sure that nothing within his bracelet would make contact with it.

Seeing that Julian was now treating the spear as if it were an incredibly precious thing, Valyr inwardly let out a snicker as the former told him that he would be selling the nine weapons through the guild’s channels, while the spear would be sold in an impromptu auction held by the Blacksmith Guild.

Assuring Valyr that the amount of money he would be gaining from the weapons would not be small by any means, Julian eventually left the young man on his own once more, prompting Valyr to leave the premises as he swiftly made his way back home.

Enjoying a nice dinner with his good friend as they caught up on what the other side was doing for the entire day, the young man eventually fell into deep slumber, making sure to recuperate as much physical and mental energy possible for the day tomorrow.

After all, the position of inheritance leader was at stake.
