Chapter: 524
“Not bad,” Jay thought with a nod, “Helvetia sure was advanced.”
He placed it in, and it only took a moment before the contents all became a silvery liquid.
There was some gunk on the top but he scraped it off; he wasn’t sure what it was, but his instinct told him it was probably trash.
Jay looked around and found some moulds to pour the liquid into. None of them had hammer shapes but there was something shaped like an ingot so he opted for that.
Thankfully, Anya waited patiently as she watched. She didn’t have much else to do, but it wasn’t like she had a choice either; without Jay she would definitely not get this far.
The molten metal flowed into the moulds with ease, it was quite straight-forward.
A few moments later his ingots were crafted. He had some liquid metal left over but he just left it in the ladle.
[Helvetian Steel Ingot – 84% Purity] x 2
“Eight-four percent?” Jay frowned as he analysed the ingots.
He could see the tiny flakes from the sparkling ore in it, but it seemed that there simply wasn’t enough for any meaningful change. It was probably what made up the other 16% of the ingot, or at least some of it.
“Perhaps I can’t analyse too much about the ingot, maybe I just need some more blacksmithing experience?”
Still, he couldn’t complain as these were steel; much stronger than the iron bars he purchased from Lillian at the guild.
“I wonder what the hammers will be like.” he thought as he sat down and prepared to craft his new weapons.
Anya waited patiently nearby as Jay sat down next to a pile of bones. He resummoned his dead skeletons and began working on their new hammers.
It was a faster process since he knew how to craft them and already had the designs in his head, but they both came out as higher quality bone hammers. It seemed that the combination of steel ingot and his level three scrimshaw skill resulted in a better product.
<[Bone Hammer Level 3]> (Steel Ingot) x 2
[10 damage – crushing, bludgeoning]
[0.1 damage – elemental]
[5% chance to stun or cripple targets – Dependant on point of impact]
[Lifespan – Requires necrotic essence to maintain it’s form]
[Current lifespan: 20 hours]
“Not bad” Jay said as he admired his handiwork.
The steel part of the makeshift necrotic hammer still gave off little glints of light. It seemed that the residual sparkling ore gave a small elemental damage bonus.
Still, the 10 damage was a massive boost in power compared to the other bone hammers which were doing 6 damage. It was even stronger than Jay’s ossein arming sword now.
