Abel returned to his mansion. His mood had lightened up a little since both of his soul chained soul beasts partners had gotten a new ability, but his desire for revenge did not subside a single bit. Instead, he was a lot more certain about it.
“Master, the top quality iron ore you requested is ready. It is now in the storage space!” Said steward Ken as he bowed to Abel.
“Lead me to it!” Abel had plans for these irons, so he was a little desperate to see it.
“Please follow me!”
Steward Ken lead the way, and they arrived at a storage space in the mansion. It was not small storage space, and it was filled with large amounts of iron.
Abel stepped up and picked up a piece of iron. Its quality was top-notch, and it was almost better than any other iron ore he had seen before. As a Blacksmith Master, he knew full well that these types of iron ore could only be found in a large scale mine, and they were selected from the best of the best.
“Ken, how did you get these iron ores?” And, asked.
“Master, after I asked a few close families about iron ores. Both the Harry family in Bakong City and the Benson family gave us some,” steward Ken bowed and replied.
“Ken, say thank you to them for me, and make sure you give them every cent they requested,” Abel commanded. He did not want to owe any family a favor because of some iron ores.
“Yes, master,” Ken replied.
Abel surrounded the mountainous amount of iron ore with his power of the will, and just like that, they were all transferred to his Kong Kong spirit portal bag.
Ken was so shocked by what just happened in front of his eyes; he almost jumped. However, he had grown excited afterward. This legend like ability signified that his owner was getting more and more powerful, so their family would also get richer and richer.
When Abel returned to the living room, Loraine was already waiting for him. “Brother Abel!”
“Loraine, you didn’t go train Lilac today?” Abel said with a smile to Loraine.
“I also know you were not in a good mood, brother Abel, so I want to stay with you,” Said Loraine, staring at Abel with its big eyes.
“That’s already in the past. The teacher had taken care of it for me,” Abel spoke softly. He didn’t want to explain too much about the scams and conflicts between humans. It. It was better for Loraine to have less association with it.
“But there’s nothing I can help you with, brother Abel,” said Loraine. She felt a little useless, so her eyes began to get red.
“Loraine, you had helped me a lot. You taught me elves language, help me train a horse, that’s all very impressive.” Said Abel as he stuck out his hand and bushed upon Loraine’s head.
“Really?” Said Loraine as she lifted her head, trying to hold back her tears as she looked at
Abel.
“Of course. It was all because of you, my mood had always been very good at home!” said Able gently with a smile.
Dinner time, Loraine returned to her carefree look as she joyfully spoke about all the funny things that happened in the mansion. Heart lifting laughter flew around in the dining room of the mansion.
After dinner, Abel returned to his room, but this time he did not bring Black Wind. After he set up the barrier circle, he opened the portal door and entered the Rogue encampment.
The Rogue encampment was calmed as always. Its sky was just starting to light up. A fresh morning wind blew at the face of Abel, waking him up immediately.
He walked towards the place where the female Blacksmith Charsi’s shop used to stand. The equipment fixed up by Abel was glowing in a dark color. Abel needed to make something special today.
He took out a black circular rock with a diameter of 1 meter from his Kong Kong spirit portal bag and put it on the floor. It was the iron meteorite he found in Marshall castle’s secret chamber.
“Too bad!” Abel was a little soft-hearted as he placed his hand on the iron meteorite. It’s a pity. This was such a rare treasure. Originally he was planning to turn it into a full body of the toughest armor once his body was fully developed. But now, he had to use it earlier.
It would be very hard for a normal fire to melt the iron meteorite, but there was natural fire from the ground here. That’s why Abel was so confident about forging this iron meteorite.
In a flick of a finger, a full body of armor made out of ice appeared on Abel’s body. He had increased the toughness of the ‘frozen armor’ around his arms this time. This was also thanks to the ‘soul potion.’ After he realized the ‘Frozen armor’ pattern, he grasped the core of this spell. Therefore, it allowed him to easily manipulate the shape of the ice to protect important areas.
Abel placed the black iron meteorite with both of his hands on to the opening of the ground fire. This iron meteorite was too heavy. There was no equipment around here to move such a big and heavy thing.
Therefore, Abel had used a defense circle to separate himself from the heat. It was the only way he could put the iron meteorite on to the opening of the ground fire. Although the ‘frozen armor’ was not good for nonphysical impact, it was made out of ice, so it could still withstand heat for a short period of time.
The nightmarish flame of the ground fire had turned half of the iron meteorite red in almost no time. Abel stuck his hand in the ground fire again and grabbed half of the meteorite that had turned red. He needed to withdraw it quickly as soon as half of it turned red. If he had waited until the entire thing turned red, maybe the whole meteorite would melt into liquid iron into the ground fire. That was scary.
‘Sssss… ssss..’ the ice on Abel’s armor made contact with the flame, sending steam rushing up above. Just like that, Abel had successfully lifted the thousand-pound iron meteorite up from the ground fire opening. He then put it on his operation bench.
Before the iron meteorite had cooled down, Abel had used a chisel. He chopped the half that had turned red into a lot of little pieces. Every single little piece of this iron meteorite was enough to make a weapon.
Abel put the other half to the side to cool down. He was only planning to use half of it for testing.
First, he wanted to prepare a combined weapon for himself. The ice magic sword he had could no longer match his ability. Since he had better materials, he was ready to make a more suitable big sword for himself.
The process of forging was very easy, but this iron meteorite could only be forged into a hundred skills. Abel sensed with his power of the will. This iron meteorite was definitely higher quality than normal iron ore. But there was a limit to how far it could be stretched. It was already 3 times better than the 130 skills iron base he made before. But of course, it was not easy to increase the quality of your material by just a little bit.
Abel was all too familiar with forging a big sword. Since the material he used this time was so good, he had a new idea. After the shape of the big sword had been forged, he opened up a small hole on both sides of the sword handle.
Yes, Abel was ready to make a double rune big sword. He already picked out which rune he wanted on the big sword. That would be the Tir rune he had just learned.
Gain 2 points of mana every time an enemy was killed.
He had this idea of applying this rune on a magic sword ever since the first time he saw it. Mana was the most important thing to him in a battle. If every enemy killed could give him 2 points of mana with a single Tel rune, he would be able to gain 4 points of mana if both the Tir runes were drawn successfully.
Abel had 270 points of mana, so he only needed to kill 67 enemies to fully replenish his mana storage. This might be a bit of a challenge in the Holy Continent since there were not many enemies to be killed there, but in the Rogue encampment, infernal creatures could be seen everywhere.
If a magic sword could unleash its power without physical impact, Abel would really want to turn this magic sword with the Tir rune into a magical cane for a try.
The double holed Knight big sword was placed in front of Abel’s eye. Now it was time to etch the rune. Although the Tir rune Abel had learned was specifically altered for making rune signs, he had studied the ‘magical weapon forging guide’ from the dwarfs, giving him rich formulas and fundamental knowledge. Abel had altered runes many times in the past, but most importantly, he had the Akara rune pen. This pen could recognize mistakes in the drawing process and direct him to the right path.
Abel dipped the Akara rune pen into the intermediate rune ink he had combined through the Horadric cube last time. Just like that, he had perfectly drawn the Tel rune on both sides of the sword, as well as directing energy into the rune path.
Abel was not planning to proceed to the next step in the Rogue encampment, so he took the Knight big sword he had just completed out of the Rogue Encampment.
