Chapter 135 Divine Art
Looking at the old but young-hearted God Gubernius, Roy wasn't worried about the Demon King's Armor being damaged by him.
There are differences even among gods.
The kind of god who could shatter the Philosopher's Stone and destroy the years of hard work of "Sage" Fels is a complete idiot. Even Roy would have to find an opportunity to let the dungeon monsters kill him.
Gubringer is undoubtedly one of the more serious and upright gods; the Hero Bridge in Orario was built by him.
However, Roy was quite curious about what the other party planned to do. "Gubernu, what are your plans?"
Gubernius grinned. "Give me that monster's blood, and don't say you didn't collect it."
Upon hearing this, Roy reached into his waist bag with his left hand, actually taking out the Demon King's Blood from his spatial ring. The small bottle contained about 100 milliliters of the most essential blood from Muzan Kibutsuji.
Guberniu took the small bottle. "If I'm not mistaken, this monster has extremely strong vitality. This bottle of blood is from the same source as the armor."
Roy nodded. Although Muzan Kibutsuji had many problems, including weak fighting power, a cruel personality, and being cowardly, no one underestimated his regenerative abilities. He had five brains and seven hearts, and could split and regenerate. Even after being given a compound drug specifically for demons, he did not die on the spot.
Guberniu said, "I will destroy its structure, reduce its performance, and then forcibly integrate it with the blood of this monster to make it have greater growth potential. Kid, pump the bellows!"
With that, Gubernius returned to his worktable.
Since it concerned his equipment, Roy quickly followed and, following the instructions of the god Gubernius, pulled the bellows to push air into the furnace. The originally dark red fuel instantly turned bright red, and the temperature rose sharply.
The furnace was burning red-hot, and waves of heat emanated from it. Even though Roy was a level 3 adventurer with a physique far exceeding that of ordinary people, he still felt like he was being burned.
Gubernius, bathed in the glow of the fire, was even closer to the furnace than Roy, yet his expression remained perfectly calm, as if he were oblivious to the intense heat.
Place the Demon King's Armor inside the furnace.
when!when!when!
As the Demon King's Armor glowed red-hot, Guberniu used tweezers to hold the armor in place with one hand, while the other hand picked up a hammer and brought it down. The crisp sound of hammering echoed throughout the workshop, continuous and rhythmic.
Strictly speaking, this is not forging equipment, but destroying it, so Gubernius doesn't need much time to prepare.
The Demon King's Armor was quickly smashed beyond recognition.
Roy paid no attention to this; his eyes were fixed on the movements of Gubernius.
With each strike of the hammer, Gubernus felt a sense of perfect harmony, as if each strike was meant to be this way, a truth that no one could question!
The gods who seal their divine power in the mortal realm are essentially useless except for bestowing blessings. However, a small number of gods use the skills they have honed over a long period of time to carry out their work.
Gubernius is one of them.
The opponent's forging skills had reached the pinnacle. Roy mechanically pulled the bellows, his eyes fixed on Gubernius.
The image of Gubernius was etched into his mind.
"Half is enough."
Gubernius poured half of the Demon King's blood onto the crimson armor, and threw the remaining half bottle back to Roy.
The blood spilled on the armor didn't evaporate due to the high temperature; instead, it strangely merged with the armor. Then, the hammer struck...
It was completely absorbed by the armor.
The armor trembled, as if it had come to life.
Roy's attention was focused on the God of the Ancients and the Armor of the Demon King, and he did not notice anything else.
A middle-aged man with a delicate face, wearing glasses, and resembling a frail scholar watched him from a distance.
Blacksmithing is a demanding and tiring job. After a long day's work, blacksmiths like to gulp down a mouthful of fine wine and then fall into a deep sleep.
There are only a few families that sell high-end alcoholic beverages, and the Gubney Family and the Soma Family have many collaborations.
Today happens to be the day for delivering the sake, and for such a major client as the Gubney Family, the leader of the Soma Family, Chanis Lustra, is coming in person.
Chanis stared at Roy's figure in the workshop, a meaningful glint in his eyes.
Name: Demon King's Armor Quality: Low-level Special Effect (Bloodlust): Can absorb and store the blood of the dead within five meters of the user.
Special Effect (Ascendancy): Consumes stored blood to repair the armor, restores durability, and increases the armor quality, up to Legendary.
Special Effect (Demon's Wrath): Consumes stored blood to increase all stats (increases according to equipment level). Each time the effect is activated, durability decreases by 10%.
Special effect (forbidden): Cannot absorb the blood of humans, elves, or gods; limited to monsters and beings without reason or intelligence.
Durability: 98%
Four or five hours later, the forging was completed, and Gubernius handed the brand-new Demon King Armor to Roy.
Judging from its appearance alone, it was far worse than before. It was dull and lackluster, and the gray-iron breastplate was unremarkable, looking as if it were made of steel.
The moment Roy touched the armor, a new information panel popped up in his eyes.
The quality dropped from epic to low, but four special effects appeared, startling Roy. He quickly scanned the list.
He was overjoyed.
Instead of absorbing his blood, you absorb the monster's blood, which essentially eliminates the side effects. Consequently, the amplification of special effects is significantly reduced.
In the short term, he is at a loss.
Even without special effects, the Demon King's Armor's epic-level defense can withstand the magic of a LV.4 adventurer.
But looking at the bigger picture, it's safe to say they've made a killing, raising the equipment ceiling to legendary level.
This is the work of the gods!
When Roy saw the final special effect "Forbidden", he knew that it was added by the god Gubernius to prevent him from using the equipment to go on a killing spree.
Humans are complex, and often only one trigger is needed for them to easily fall into darkness.
The "deterioration" was truly remarkable; Roy could feel the deity's protective intent.
A hint of weariness flashed in Gubniu's eyes. He put down his hammer, picked up the divine wine brewed by Soma, and drank it all in one gulp. "It's rare to encounter such materials. They are hard to come by. I've put in my utmost effort. I hope you will treat this equipment well."
Gubernus's last words carried a hint of a reminder; he too knew the special effects of the Demon King's Armor.
Roy nodded emphatically. "Thank you very much."
Seeing Roy's humility, a slight smile flickered across Gubernius's usually stern face. "No need for thanks, the forging fee is just this amount!"
Gubernius stretched out a hand.
"no problem!"
Roy readily agreed. It took four or five hours to defeat a god. Although the potential of the Ghost King Armor was not as great as that of the Two Hundred Million Blades, it was not far off.
The debt is fifty million francs!
