Summoner of Miracles Chapter 356

Chapter 356

Of course, Rozen was just joking when he was trying to provide Liz with more materials, not because he didn’t have any rare materials left, but simply due to the fact that using more materials didn’t necessarily mean better results.

Although Players could add more materials in addition to the metal that was used as the main material to alter the weapon’s parameter, randomly adding materials would actually have the opposite effect.

For example, the weapon that Rozen requested was more focused on STR. If he included the materials that boosted AGI, the final result would cancel each materials’ effect.

Therefore, the additional materials that Rozen took out were not just some random material, but the carefully selected materials specifically to forge the weapon to his liking.

“If my calculations are correct, the result will definitely meet my standard, and it should be no less than the strongest weapon.”

Rozen took out the materials he has carefully based on his ideal. He still had more materials in his storage, but he didn’t take them out because it would, in fact, ruin the result.

Liz and Asuna, who didn’t know about this, just stared at the piling materials on the workshop’s table.

“Even my Lambent Light didn’t use this much material, right?”

Asuna murmured.

“In any case, I should be able to show what I’m capable of with this amount of materials.”

Seeing so much material before her, Liz was getting excited. She immediately tapped the S-grade rare metal, and a window popped up in front of the metal.

“Crystallite Ingot.”

That was the name of this S-grade metal.

Liz was amazed when she saw the description of the metal.

“As expected of the 55th Floor Boss LA reward, it’s a good metal indeed.”

Liz sounded more and more excited, even though she planned to wring Rozen out until she figured out what kind of guy Rozen was.

Well, it couldn’t be helped; she was a blacksmith after all. Which blacksmith wouldn’t be excited when they saw that pile of rare materials?

Liz was certain that she would never find another Player who had that much material throughout Aincrad. Not to mention he still had some more rare materials left even after coughing up that much…

Liz was wondering just who the h.e.l.l the Player in front of her was. Was he really just one of the Clearers?

Most of the regulars in her shop were not Clearers, but she was certain that even Clearers couldn’t ama.s.s that much material.

Yet the man before her took out that much material with ease, and Liz suspected that Rozen wasn’t just an average Clearer.

But then Liz couldn’t care less anymore. Whoever the guy before her was, that could wait until she finished transforming the materials in front of her into a masterpiece.

Liz then hauled the materials toward the deepest part of the workshop, where a considerably big furnace was waiting for her.

Liz pulled down the lever to ama.s.s power from the waterwheel outside, and then the bellows blew air into the furnace, lighting the fire.

“Wohoo!”

Liz shouted excitedly as she shoved all the materials except for the Crystallite Ingot into the furnace.

She put the Crystallite Ingot into the furnace carefully since it was the rarest material out of all.

Rozen immediately walked toward the furnace to see the process with his own eyes. Even Asuna couldn’t help but went after Rozen since she was so curious.

The pile of rare materials began to melt and turned into molten iron, and then Liz poured it into the Crystallite Ingot, making it s.h.i.+ne brightly.

“Looking good!”

Liz took the glowing ingot out of the furnace, placed it on an anvil, and then she took a blacksmith’s hammer hanging on the wall.

Suddenly the look on Liz’s face changed.

At this moment, it was clear that Liz wasn’t just a cheerful girl, but a full-fledged blacksmith.

Liz stared at the ingot closely, took a deep breath, and raised the hammer high.

“Clang!”

In the percussion sound, the shovel fell under the instigation of Liz and fell heavily on the ingot.

“Clang… clang… clang.”

Liz hammered the ingot rhythmically, and each time she did, it caused a spark between the ingot and the hammer due to the friction.

Seeing this scene, let alone Rozen, even Asuna started counting the number of times Liz hammered the ingot.

Forging a weapon in SAO didn’t involve that many or complex processes. As long as the number it was hammered by blacksmith’s hammer matched the desired weapon type and the material’s rank, the forging process would result in success.

In other words, Rozen’s new weapon would be completed the moment Liz stopped hammering.

In the forging process, the more time the ingot was hammered, the better the weapon’s parameter would be.

That was why Rozen was staring intently at Liz while counting how many times she has hammered the ingot.

Even Rozen, who was mostly calm under any circ.u.mstances, couldn’t help but become restless in this situation since it cost him a lot of rare materials.

Not to mention, the Crystallite Ingot was the one and only S-grade rare metal throughout Aincrad, meaning even if Rozen was a natural when it came to procuring rare materials, this was the only time he could forge a weapon of this scale.

“Clang!”

Liz, who didn’t know how Rozen felt, continuously hammered the ingot.

“Two hundred…”

Asuna whispered, intensifying the tension in the air.

Rozen couldn’t believe his eyes.

“If it’s as strong as Kirito’s Elucidator, it should reach 250 hits, right?”

Rozen roughly made an estimation based on Kirito’s Elucidator while staring at the still hammered ingot.

It didn’t take long before Liz’s 250th hit.

But Liz hasn’t stopped and continued to hammer the ingot.

“Two… two hundred seventy…!”

Asuna could no longer contain her surprise.

“Two hundred eighty…!”

Rozen was also excited.

Liz continued to hammer the ingot and finally stopped after the 300th hit.

“Shhnnnn!”

The ingot glowed again, this time with a dazzling white light, and gradually transformed and took the shape of a sword.

When the light disappeared completely, everyone gasped as they could finally see the sword clearly.
