Chapter 258: Weapon Test
Chapter 258: Weapon Test
After getting his spirit, Vigo starts to ask everyone what kind of weapon they want. Jayna, Mia, and Ilgor immediately answer their respective weapon of choice, but the others don’t know how to answer the question as they do not rely on weapons.
Gilford is using his battle golem and colossus when battling. He also used more spells than weapons. Millie used soul power and also didn’t rely on weapons. As for Anna, she just ignores Vigo and keeps playing with bubbles.
Fortunately, Jayna explained that Anna is an extraordinary case and has immense physical power. Hearing this, Vigo couldn’t help but become more confused. Looking at Vigo’s struggle, Gilford couldn’t help but shake his head.
With Gilford’s intelligence and his passive [Analyze], he already realizes the true meaning of this test. However, looking at Vigo’s struggle makes him sure that master Draught’s judgment is correct.
After a long sigh, “Vigo, I think you got it wrong. Master Draught never said for you to create a weapon for us. But he said to make suitable weapons for us. I hope you can reconsider your approach. Otherwise, I too will also be disappointed.” said Gilford.
“Make a suitable weapon?” muttered Vigo.
But, Gilford didn’t give any more clues and left Vigo on himself. Seeing this, Jayna couldn’t help but approach Gilford.
“Why are you not just explaining the true nature of the test rather than giving him a hint?” asked Jayna.
“Master Draught may not accept Vigo as his disciple. But, he actually already decided to nurture him as a master craftsman through this test.”
“If he can’t overcome this test on his own, he will only become mediocre at best. Master Draught also wants to test his true potential as a crafter through this test.” explained Gilford while looking at Vigo, who is still contemplating his word.
In the meantime, ‘Make a suitable weapon?? What does it mean? I had never tried to create a weapon before. At best, I only created some magical bomb. Damn it.. why did Master Draught give such an impossible test to me?’ thought Vigo.
While Vigo was thinking hard about the test, “*Yawn* Weak green bubble, I am bored. Let’s fight. Let’s fight!!” said Anna, coming towards Ilgor.
“Tch.. you little shit, how many times have I said I am not weak.” replied Ilgor as he took out his dual axe and was ready to fight.
Suddenly, Anna disappears from her spot and appears in front of Ilgor, launching her small fist. Ilgor decides to parry the incoming monstrous small fist using his axe. *Bam* Their clash creates a small airwave towards the surrounding area.
This sudden action surprises Vigo, especially the force behind Anna’s fist. Even the aftermath of their clash is strong enough to push him back a little bit.
He knows that some combatants are quite battle maniacs, especially an orc race. But he also never expects they will start to fight out of nowhere.
“Grahh!! [Axe Art – Twin Cut]” yelled Ilgor as he began to counterattack Anna.
Anna dodged the sharp and fast incoming attack from Ilgor. But, some of her hair is getting cut by Ilgor’s attack. Seeing this, Anna’s happy-going expression changed into serious.
“Haha.. Don’t think you could always bully me. I also improved in these past..” said Ilgor.
Before Ilgor finished his sentence, Anna had already launched furious punches at Ilgor. On the contrary to her expectation, Ilgor managed to dodge some of them and parry the one he couldn’t avoid.
“You.. weak bubble..” said Anna as her attack began stronger.
“Emm.. Shouldn’t we stop them?” said Millie as she noticed Anna start to release a small killing intent to Ilgor.
“Nah, don’t worry about it. This is a normal occurrence.” replied Jayna.
In the meantime, Ilgor keeps getting the upper hand as the fight continues. After fighting Anna many times, Ilgor finally could see her fighting pattern.
Unlike the monstrous Angus and talented Jayna, he needed to fight Anna countless times before he could completely grasp her fighting pattern.
Taking the opportunity during Anna’s attack gap, Ilgor launches his own attack [Axe Art – Twin Cut]. *Bam* The attack directly hit Anna’s body and knocked her back.
“Anna!!” said Millie and Mia worriedly.
Before they could approach her, a thick killing intent could be felt from Anna’s direction. Dense grayish energy envelops Anna’s body.
“T-That’s miasma.” exclaimed Vigo from the side.
Before everyone could respond, Anna created a giant dark-colored miasma claw in her hand and used her transformation. Looking at this, Ilgor didn’t want to lose and yelled loudly.
“Grahhh!! [Racial Skill – Berserk]” yelled Ilgor while his eyes became bloodshot and various veins appeared on his body. His muscular body becomes more buffed, like it is going to rupture anytime.
“You sure we should not stop them?” asked Millie again.
“If it is before, I still could stop them. But, now it will be hard. Even with the help of Gilford. Don’t worry. They will be fine. This is not the first time they are going all out like this.” said Jayna.
Soon, both Anna and Ilgor continue their fight. Unlike before, their attack is more potent and even leaves various cracks on the ground.
While all of these happen, Vigo keeps observing the two of them without even blinking and ignoring the incoming airwave.
‘Her attack is so fierce, but she uses too much wide range move. In the meantime, the orc is a more experienced fighter, but his flexibility is decreasing unlike before, probably because of his berserk.’ thought Vigo as he subconsciously analyzed the two fighters.
In the meantime Vigo and others spectate Anna and Ilgor’s fight, Angus, Jade, and Draught begin their weapon test. The old man Draught weapon test method is very methodical and takes a lot of time. Most of the tests are related to combat.
Inside the white room, Draught spectates Jade fighting against a Fifth-grade monster that Draught caught before. Both Angus and Jade didn’t know what kind of method Draught used to capture the monster as he just summoned it through the portal.
The monster Jade is currently fighting is similar to a gorilla with nine hands. Its size is humongous and many times bigger than Jade. However, in front of Jade and his sentient weapon, the six-handed gorilla is currently burned alive.
While Jade tests his sentient weapon against the monster gorilla, Angus himself also tests the twin blade weapon artifact. Up till now, he managed to unseal the artifact twice. Apparently, the twin blade only has three seals.
The first seal is like any other artifact. It only needs a certain amount of mana to unseal it. The second seal needs tremendous fire element mana.
According to his inspection, the last seal also needs to absorb tremendous fire element mana. But unlike the second seal, the final seal is like a bottomless pit that continuously swallows the fire element.
Although Angus still didn’t manage to useal the last seal, Draught could see the twin sword resonated and completely compatible with Angus. Still, he decides to test it by making Angus fight a monster like Jade.
Currently, Angus is fighting a grade three Fire Salamander, a monster with the appearance of a giant salamander. It is often found bathing inside the lava of an active volcano. The monster has a very high resistance to fire and heat.
However, according to some records Draught found, the twin blade artifact should be able to release a high amount of heat capable of killing Fire Salamander. As Angus also wants to test the artifact capability, he decides not to use spells to attack and fight in close combat.
Still, he cast various enchantment spells towards himself to protect and increase his power. *Bam* The Fire Salamander getting thrown away by Angus’s attack.
“Tch.. I plan to cut it but not to hit it. It seems the fire in the sword is still not hot enough to penetrate its skin.” said Angus as he supplied more fire mana towards the twin sword.
During this time, the Fire Salamander recovered and shot many giant fireballs at Angus. Noticing this, Angus decided not to dodge and cut the weak point of the fireball. *Swish* *Swish* *Swish* Unexpectedly, the incoming fireball wholly dissipated.
However, Angus didn’t have time to be surprised as the Fire Salamander already charged at him [Flame Charge]. Angus decides not to dodge the attack and parry the incoming Fire Salamander using the twin sword. *BAM*
At this moment, a particular phenomenon happened. The fire element surrounding the Fire Salamander is getting absorbed by the twin sword. The twin sword itself got hotter to the point it could burn and damage Angus’s hand.
Fortunately, Angus’s proficiency in [Hellfire] is relatively high to withstand this kind of heat. After losing the fire that envelops its body, the Fire Salamander gets pushed back easily by Angus’s immense strength. *Clang* The Fire Salamander gets pushed back a little bit.
Using this opportunity, Angus decided to slash the Fire Salamander using the crimson red twin blade. *Swish* *Swish* Unlike before, Angus managed to easily damage the Fire Salamander’s thick skin, like cutting butter with a hot knife.
*ROOARR* screamed the Fire Salamander in pain.
Then, Angus decides to end the monster’s life [Twin Sword Art – Scissor Grip]. *Swish* an extensive line appeared across the Fire Salamander’s body. Then, Another line appeared on the same spot, ultimately cutting the Fire Salamander.
“Hmm.. What a powerful sword. It managed to cut the entire monster’s body.” said Angus.
