Chapter: 628

These two desirable qualities made it harder than a sword or even a shield to craft.

After all, he had to keep the molten material suspended in mid air.

Jay made it straight, but each time he did, the bone would pull back and blob to the centre. It was frustrating to say the least.

The long shaft of the spear was made, and he held it up to his eyes as he looked along its length. He rotated it slowly and to his annoyance there were some wobbles as it wasn't perfectly straight.

“Dammit…” Jay frowned, it was a small thing but he was a perfectionist when it came to crafting; he would keep trying until he did it right, and he began to channel his mana into it again – though he had an idea to help fix the issue.

To keep it straight, he kept it floating at eye level while making his mana swirl around it, spinning the spear as he looked down its length.

Almost naturally the spear shaft began to straighten out on its own, while Jay simply had to squeeze out the centre – using his mind of course.

In a few moments it solidified and was done, and he had a long spear shaft.

As for the spear head, he formed a thick triangular point, similar to an arrowhead but stretched longer like a needle.

Jay didn't want to simply kill the creatures under the sand, but to pull them out too, so he added some backwards pointing spikes to the bottom of the spearhead, similar to barbed fishing hooks.

As for attaching the spearhead to the spear shaft, it was as easy as adding some extra bone, some mana, and holding them together. The products fused and became one, and the spear was complete.

Jay considered adding some hand grips, but decided it wasn't worth his time. They would be going back into the forest soon, and the spears simply didn't suit that cramped environment.

With the spear complete, Jay analysed his grand design.

[Bone Spear – Level 1]

[6 damage – piercing]

[5% chance to stagger]

[Anti-charge – 50-200% bonus damage when braced against charge. Depending on the speed of enemies.]

[Anti-charge – 50kg of stopping power]

[Lifespan – Requires necrotic essence to maintain it’s form]

[Current lifespan: 4 hours]

As Jay went over the spear, he was surprised it was level one, though it was his first try. Now that he had the blueprint down in his mind, he could quickly improve it – and as he thought, the next three spears he crafted were all level two, dealing seven damage and having a six percent chance to stagger enemies.

Jay only crafted four spears; one for Blue, Red, Lamp and Handy.

Sweeper would have received one too if it wasn't quietly standing by a rock, alone and defenceless, keeping a lookout a few hours behind them.

Jay handed the spears out and the skeletons soon got to work, stabbing the sand and thrusting their spears violently into it.

In a matter of minutes, they had their first victim – Right next to the shade of a mushroom, Lamp had managed to stab one of the creatures, violently piercing it in the sand. It squirmed and kicked up sand in pain.
