nThe appearance of this Abyss demon iron made Roy suddenly realize that the Abyss had minerals!

nIt couldn’t be helped. You could not say that Roy was slow, and you could not force someone who studied painting and design to think about what minerals there were when he saw soil and rocks…

nNow that he thought about it carefully, Roy had indeed encountered many demons with weapons. At that time, he only thought that they were weapons forged with their soul fragments, but he ignored the materials they used for forging.

nLooking at the surrounding mountains and the ground beneath him, Roy was certain that there were some minerals beneath these layers of soil, but they might not be like Abyss demon iron.

nIt seemed that the gravity of the Abyss would become stronger with every level downward. If Abyss demon iron was only produced in the lower levels of the Abyss, it meant that the iron should be formed under high pressure.

nRoy tried to remove some of the iron ingot, but he found that it was impossible. The Abyss demon iron was exceptionally hard.

nThis is indeed an excellent weapon material!

nRoy tried to input some magic power into the magic iron and found that the magic power was operating very smoothly, so he knew that weapons made with Abyss demon iron might not only be used as physical attack weapons but also as staves! In addition to the unobstructed transmission of magic power, it even had a slight amplification effect on magic power. Was this not the principle behind magic staves?

nAfter remembering what Edrach had said, that Abyss demon iron could only be forged using hellfire, Roy took out the hellfire fire seed.

nThis small black flame did not have any heat at all when Roy held it in his hand and was only quietly burning. It was rather strange. This was probably why it was called a fire seed.

n“Fat Tiger, come here!” Roy waved at Fat Tiger.

nDue to attributes clashing, Roy was unable to fuse with this hellfire fire seed… Of course, as long as he was willing to squander his souls, he could use the system to define a hellfire ability for himself. However, it would probably consume a lot, so Roy planned to have Fat Tiger use it first. After he fused with the hellfire, Roy would see what characteristics it had and whether it was powerful before deciding if he wanted to have the hellfire ability.

nSimilarly, Roy could actually modify Fat Tiger’s attributes to complete the hellfire creation. But with the fire seed, Roy naturally would not consume his souls.

nFat Tiger came over obediently, and Roy fed the fire seed to his fire-attribute head. After swallowing the fire seed, he immediately trembled in pain.

n“What’s going on?!” Roy was shocked.

nA system notice appeared in his mind. “The life you created, ‘Fat Tiger’, is being transformed by external energy. The success rate of transformation is 97%. Do you want to continue?”

nFortunately, with this hint, Roy immediately reacted. Fat Tiger’s pain should have been caused by the nature of the hellfire fire seed, not by an accident. Since the success rate of transformation was very high, Fat Tiger only needed to persevere.

nRoy could only comfort Fat Tiger while observing his changes nervously.

nAfter all, there was still a 3% chance of failure, right?

nHowever, for some reason, a sentence suddenly flashed in Roy’s mind. If the fusion fails, this will be a godly book…

nThis was what he used to mock authors when he read novels in the past, but he unexpectedly remembered it now…

nFortunately, this did not happen. After a while, Fat Tiger’s pain gradually subsided, and at the same time, black flames started burning on his body.

nThis black hellfire was completely different from the fire seed state. It had a fierce and overbearing high temperature, and even Roy could not help but distance himself from it subconsciously.

nAfter devouring the fire seed, the fire attribute in Fat Tiger’s body had changed. The original bright orange flames were completely replaced by the black hellfire.

nUnder Roy’s command, Fat Tiger spat out a breath of fire at a distant rock. The rock melted not long after coming into contact with the black flame, and even though Fat Tiger stopped breathing, the black flame did not extinguish. It lasted until the rock completely turned into magma before truly extinguishing.

nThus, Roy finally knew what the nature of the hellfire was. Its temperature was high, and it was difficult to extinguish. No wonder the legends said that hellfire was inextinguishable. Inextinguishable was definitely impossible, but it was certain that it would burn longer…

nCorrespondingly, this kind of Hellfire Breath also consumed more magic power. Fat Tiger looked exhausted after spitting it out. It seemed that using this kind of high-level demon flame when your magic power was still low was not worth it, and it could only be used as an ultimate move.

nAfter letting Fat Tiger rest for a while to restore his magic power, Roy planned to get him to use hellfire to help him melt the Abyss demon iron. He took this opportunity to consider what kind of weapon he should forge.

nRoy was used to fighting bare-handed, using mostly his claws and tail. Roy had even planned to transform his claws into adamantium, but as he gradually learned how to use magic power, he started fighting more with magic power. Thus, this modification plan was put aside and did not seem that important.

nNow that he had Abyss demon iron in hand, forging a weapon became a way to combine physical attacks and magic power attacks.

nGenerally speaking, weapons were easy to use, and some of the ones made by demons that Roy had seen were very rough. They were either hammers or axes. Of course, there were also demon scythes like the one one the high-rank demon Xeron had used, which looked quite cool. But it seemed that at a higher level, such as demon lords, almost all of them used demon swords!

nWhen Rogeros’s incarnation had appeared, there was a huge demon sword hanging on his waist…

nTherefore, Roy decided to create a demon sword!

nRoy drew a mold in the system interface, which he would use to create a sword embryo. After Fat Tiger’s magic power recovered, Roy got him to spit out hellfire to help him melt the Abyss demon iron. Then he poured the molten iron into the mold to create a sword embryo and then continuously polished and shaped it.

nHowever, Roy realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of forging an iron weapon. Those who had never learned to forge could not play with these things. The sword embryo he made with the mold had a lot of burrs, and the thickness was uneven. It was as rough as the ones that other demons created.

nRoy had no choice but to seek help from the system. Fortunately, although this sword had not been directly produced by the system, he could save it as a material image and then modify it.

nThus, Roy found a new function of the system…

nThis made Roy suddenly realize that he could define the performance of the sword after forging it, and it would not be limited to the properties of the Abyss demon iron.

nThe excited Roy once again threw himself into the work of retouching…

nThree days later, a sinister demon sword appeared. The pitch-black sword had a streamlined shape, narrowing from the sword blade to the sword tip. The sword hilt had a demon as the design. The demon’s skull was biting the sword blade, and a pair of scarlet demon eyes were engraved into the skull. Curved demon horns formed the cross-shaped sword guard, the handle was bones layered one after another, and the sword pommel was also a pair of demon horns.

nThe entire sword was engraved with demon characters that even Roy did not know what they meant. They were usually hidden in the sword, and only when he inputted magic power would the demon characters light up and emit a faint blue light.

nThe entire sword appeared relatively large because it needed to match Roy’s current height. It was about 1.5 meters tall. When Roy stood and held the sword, it happened to reach his chest.

nTo define the demon sword, Roy did not hesitate to spend a lot of souls.

nDemon Sword (Unnamed)

nMaterial: Abyss demon iron

nWeight: ???

nAttack Power: 100

nMagic Power Amplification: 1.5x

nBleeding: Wounds inflicted by this sword will not heal normally.

nStrength Absorption: Enemies injured by this sword will have a portion of their strength absorbed to enhance the wielder.

nAcknowledgement: This sword is only usable by the demon whose true name is Bacronsha… Osiris.

nThese were the attributes he could define for the time being. Roy had obtained the magic power amplification number after repeated experiments. The initial amplification of the Abyss demon iron was only around 1.2. But when Roy tried to increase the magic power amplification, he found that every increase of 0.1 was extremely difficult, and the number of souls consumed increased exponentially. The 1.5 increase was almost the limit.

nRoy did not forcibly specify the two attribute definitions of Bleeding and Strength Absorption and instead handed them over to the system to adapt.

nAs for the Acknowledgement attribute, Roy did not want to separate out his soul fragment, so he simply replaced it with this attribute.

nFurthermore, whether a sword was strong or not also involved a problem. That was its attack power!

nWhen Roy wanted to add the attack power attribute to the demon sword, the system informed him that there was no reference object.

nThe so-called reference object was something that Roy had to find, such as a knife. After he defined the knife’s attack power as one and saved it as a material, any attack power that Roy set in the future would use the knife for reference and comparison. The attributes for the small knife’s material toughness, sharpness, and so on were one, so an attack power of ten was ten times the strength of this knife.

n

nThis meant that the higher the number, the harder it was to reach, and the more souls it consumed.

nRoy’s forging of this demon sword consumed a terrifying amount of souls. He used more than 1400 souls, and most of them were on setting the attack power. After setting it to one hundred, Roy realized that the consumption was too horrifying to continue increasing it, so he decided to leave it like this temporarily.

nEven so, the effect was still very shocking. The demon sword had a very powerful destructive force. He could not find any good experimental material in the Abyss, but the sword could split apart even a huge rock, and the cut was extremely smooth.

nWhen Roy held the sword and input his magic power, the entire sword would emit an intense cold aura, and under the magic power amplification, Roy’s cold aura became even more powerful.

n“Okay, I’ll call you Frostmourne!” Roy said. In fact, he created this sword based on Frostmourne’s design.

n

nI hope that one day, you can really become a divine artifact!
