Changed Body 624

Chapter 624 – Grid Weapon (2)

The surrounding air becomes hot.

No, it will be burned.

The furnace that Angela lit was reminiscent of a small volcano.

An active volcano with magma bubbling and ready to explode at any time.

Dragon.

In particular, this tremendous amount of heat was needed to process the leather of the red dragon, which has strong fire resistance.

Angela holding a hammer in her hand in a heat that made it difficult to breathe.

“Now, look carefully.”

She hit the leather on the workbench with all her might with her hammer, her long hair flying.

 

Kwaaang!

Kim Do-jin sticks out his tongue at the noise so loud that it’s hard to believe he just hit a piece of leather.

I was worried about her again.

It’s this much noise even at a small distance, but how painful it must be for her to hear it right in front of her.

Contrary to such concerns, Angela continued to strike her hammer, paying no heed to the echoing noise.

Kwaaang!

Kwaang!

The number of hammer blows reached 500 times in a heat where the air was barely breathable.

Something amazing happened right before my eyes.

Pooh-ooh-!

Bright red flames rose from the red leather that had been beaten with a hammer.

As if she had known in advance that this would happen, Angela skillfully turned her body to avoid the flames and then asked Kim Do-jin in an excited tone.

“Did you see it? Did you see it?”

“Yes. I did see it…”

I literally just looked.

Angela’s explanation continues.

“This leather resembles its owner and has a very eccentric personality.”

“Leather… Is it eccentric?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Each material also has its own personality.

Some materials are easy to transform or process because they are easily soluble in any fire, while other materials have very difficult properties or characteristics, and there are cases where processing is absolutely impossible until certain conditions are met.

Craftsmen used to compare this to personality.

“In his case, he’s very arrogant and eccentric, probably because he’s made of dragon skin.”

It is basic that it is not easy to process due to its high flame resistance.

It is also highly resistant to blows, so it cannot even be scratched by a moderate hammer blow.

Even if it causes a scratch, it is a problem.

“When the shock builds up to the point where it gets on your nerves…!”

When she strikes her hammer again, she bursts into flames once more.

Puuuuung!

“Because you lose your temper.”

She avoids it without any problem now, but she had a hard time at first because of this.

In particular, the arms that hit the hammer and the face that looks down at the leather had to go through a lot of hardship.

Had it not been for the saint’s healing, she would have had indelible scars on her arms and face.

Kim Do-jin, who vaguely noticed the painful process, frowned.

“… I think I can make it quiet by using words.”

This was a worry and a rebuke.

Like, why didn’t she call herself if she was doing such a dangerous thing?

But Angela rejected his offer.

“No, you can’t do that. This is essential work.”

Kim Do-jin tilts his head.

“… Is this a necessary task?”

“Okay.”

She starts hammering again.

Kwaang!

Puuuuung!

Leather that responds with bright red flames to the intense hammering that shakes the entire blacksmith shop.

She continued with her eyes fixed on her skin.

“Don’t do anything, just watch for now.”

Pow!

“On leather.”

Puuuuung!

“What a change.”

Quad!

“It’s happening!”

Puuuuung!

Pow!

Kim Do-jin blankly watches Angela as she continues her hammering while avoiding the rising flames.

As time passed, changes came.

Grumble!

It has become weaker.

The size of the flames emitted by leather.

“Ah.”

Only then did I realize it.

What is the reason for that dangerous hammering?

“… It’s to empty the inside.”

Red dragon skin has extremely strong fire resistance.

And while such resistance acts as a tremendous advantage, it also acts as a disadvantage.

When it comes to things that Kim Do-jin and Angela have to make, it is the latter.

The leather, which is hot in itself, will arbitrarily change the magical power absorbed from nature into fire attribute.

She is deliberately putting out the flames to prevent such a phenomenon.

In order to completely remove the flame properties contained in the leather.

When I finally realized that fact.

“This is the end!”

Kwaang!

The final hammer blow hits the leather with a cry hotter than a furnace.

Then the leather also spit out flames as if it had been waiting.

Push shush…

It was a very weak flame because all its power had already been used.

She put down her hammer and lifted her leather to show it to Kim Do-jin.

“What do you think?”

Leather has changed in many ways.

Because of hammering, the thickness became thinner, and as it became thinner, it became harder and more flexible.

Even with the sword, which is said to be able to cut anything, it seems like it would take a few strikes to completely cut it off.

There is something else that has changed more than anything else.

“The color has changed.”

First, the color of the leather changed from red to black.

“If you take away all the fire resistance, it turns out like this.”

If the red color symbolized resistance to fire, it was not an incomprehensible change.

Rather, it would be correct to see it as a good change.

All they want to make is an imitation of ‘Black Stone’.

To live up to its name, the color of the finished product must be black.

“First, we roll this leather into a ball to make the inner skin.”

An iron ball the size of a fist is wrapped with leather to form its shape.

And to fix the shape, nails were driven into the area where leather meets leather.

However, the color of the nail was unique.

Gray-white color that emits a soft blue light whenever exposed to light.

Kim Do-jin’s eyes widen as he sees this.

“That nail… Isn’t it an ordinary nail?”

As far as he knows, there is only one mineral in the world that emits such a brilliant color.

“Oh, this? It’s made of mithril.”

“…”

“The leather is so hard that even ordinary nails won’t stick in it.”

It was quite a refreshing shock.

A mineral so valuable that it is not enough to make weapons and armor is created as nothing more than a nail.

I suddenly became curious.

“Did you anticipate this in advance and ask the saint for mithril?”

“It can’t be.”

Angela shakes her head.

“I just asked you to get it just in case. If you want to mix it with the dragon’s by-product, it needs to be at least mithril level to be of the right grade.”

She laughed bitterly.

“I didn’t know that it would only be used to drive nails in.”

The work continues.

Nails made of mithril are driven in to fix the shape, and the remaining parts are connected using the highest quality adhesive made from slime.

Eventually, a sphere the size of a palm was completed.

“For now, the first goal is completed.”

She carefully placed the sphere on one side of the workbench and her eyes wandered somewhere.

What lies at the end of the line of sight is none other than the bones of a dragon.

“That’s next.”

The next task continues without a moment to take a breath.

The dragon’s bones are heated over a hot fire, struck with a hammer to remove the flames, and the shape is processed.

The completed form is a sphere slightly larger than the sphere made of leather just a moment ago.

That would be the outer skin that will cover the leather sphere.

It didn’t end there.

She immediately lowered the temperature of the furnace and processed the mithril to create a plate so thin that it had to penetrate the decimal point. Then, she rolled the plate into a round shape and bent it around to create pipes of various shapes.

“Okay, now we’re ready.”

All that remains is assembly.

Drill holes in the sphere-shaped leather and insert the tubes you made earlier, one by one.

At first glance, it looks like it was put in randomly, but a shape was drawn in Kim Do-jin’s mind as he watched it.

The tubes bent and inserted into various shapes formed several circles extending in various directions.

It flows freely and continuously between the inner and outer skin.

There is one reason to insert that.

‘Circulation.’

It is clear that it was designed so that the absorbed energy circulates continuously.

And the purpose of that cycle is amplification.

Cold sweat flows.

The question from before raises her head again.

She said.

We won’t know the results until they come out, so let’s make it first.

I had doubts about those words.

‘Is it true that no one really knows what the outcome will be?’

The intention and meaning are too clear and clear to say that the result is unknown?

A sphere is completed by inserting a tube into a given position without any error to complete its shape, and then finally covering the outer shell over it and completely closing the gap.

Angela presented it to Kim Do-jin.

“Okay, now it’s your turn.”

Yes.

Finally, there is one process left.

Planting the energy of gluttony into this sphere.

Kim Do-jin took the sphere she held out with a very nervous face.

The size is roughly the size of two palms.

Despite using bone as the outer shell, it has a rough and rough texture that runs through the palm of your hand, just like any other ore.

Fear and curiosity flow through my veins at the same time.

He carefully removed a portion of the glutton and carefully transferred it to the sphere in his hand her.

And she engraved a command on the Piece of Gluttony using her newly acquired power

「Surp(吸).」

Suck it up.

Add one thing here.

「Circulation.」

So that energy can flow unobstructed and continuously through the passage she designed.

The command engraved through words sees into gluttony.

And finally the fake Black Stone, Dragon Stone, started working.

Paaat!

Magical energy swimming in a space with a radius of 10 meters is sucked into the Dragon Stone.

Angela did not notice this fact.

Even Kim Do-jin could not sense this.

Until I witnessed with my own eyes the magic around me being sucked in.

I was surprised again.

‘It was intentional, but I didn’t expect it to be this perfect.’

The magic power absorbed into the Dragon Stone soon begins to flow through the Mithril tube.

As the amount of magical power increases, the speed becomes steeper, and the steeper speed adds strength to the magical power.

The momentum gained in this way absorbs a wider range of magical energy.

10m to 30m.

30m to 50m.

Finally reaching 100m.

No matter how gluttonous you are, hunger does not always end.

Just like when you use it, gluttony also causes you to feel full when you eat.

For Dragon Stone, the time was now.

Now that we have devoured the magic power flowing in an absurd range of 100m.

Drop out of school!

Dragon Stone was completed with a glutton complaining that he would not eat anymore.

A black stone that dazzles opponents with waves of enormous power just by looking at it.

Likewise, Kim Do-jin, who looked down at the Dragon Stone, which was attracting attention by emitting waves of power around him, realized something while listening to voices full of joy and madness coming from next to him.

“This is it… With this, we can get rid of all the trash overflowing in this world at once!”

“Uh, um.”

An imitation that surpasses the original was born.
