Chapter: 702

To give it a stronger structure, he made the blade wider and slightly thicker.

As well as that, he decided to add a wide T-shaped cross guard just above a longer sword grip.

For the sword grip, he also made it rough and bumpy rauther than smooth, so the skeleton could grip it easily as it spun the giant blade around.

After it was done, it looked quite impressive, even for Jay’s standards. It was a simple design but seemed quite regal. Giving it a test swing against one of the trees, the tip cut deeply into the bark by the force of its own weight.

The sword was sturdy and seemed like it could hack endlessly without remorse.

It was a classic bastard sword.

Apart from the white-grey colour, Jay thought it looked quite similar to the ones he had seen at the adventurer association, glad that it looked like a forged weapon.

To his surprise, it was also level two.

<[Necrotic Bastard Sword – Level 2]>

[15 damage] – Slashing, piercing.

[Two Handed] (Passive)

– Requires two hands to wield effectively.

– 150% damage when two handed. 75% damage when one-handed

[Lifespan] (Passive)

– Requires necrotic essence to maintain it’s form

[Current lifespan: 48 hours]

“Hmm… necrotic instead of spectral. Damn. I wonder how to make spectral weapons to match their spectral armour.” Jay thought.

“Not much more damage than the level three ossein swords, but I guess that the two handed passive will make up for it.” Jay thought.

“Level two as well. Maybe it was because I used a level three sword to make it?” he guessed, “Or maybe its just similar to most swords and daggers, so my first attempt didn’t result in a level one sword?” he scratched his chin.

“I guess it doesn’t matter either way.”

With the sword formed, he presented it to Handy.

The skeleton seemed to accept the sword with both honour and glee as it stepped forward and lowered its head while raising its arms, as if it were in a ceremony.

After stepping back to its guard duty, it began to swing it, feeling its weight and reach as it grew accustomed to its new weapon.

“A level two weapon for a level two skeleton” Jay thought, excited to see what it would be like once it got its zweihander role and hit level five. At that point, he would make it a better, larger sword.

Typically his level two skeletons had been small in stature, but thanks to his skeleton-raising skill evolving into the [Raise Lesser Undead] skill, they were naturally taller than their feeble creature counterparts, so Handy’s new weapon seemed a little large for it, but it wasn’t so large that it wouldn’t be useful in battle.
