Hearing Fool’s story, Mike rubbed his chin, thinking.
“So, giving Maxen a sword is like summoning Ares?”
Fool poured cold water on his idea, “I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I advise you not to do it.”
Mike waved his hand, bringing the topic back on track, “If a sword won’t work, how about a dory?”
Fool looked puzzled, “What’s that?”
“It’s a spear-like weapon. Let me sketch a design…”
With the [Eye of Truth], Mike quickly drew a design for an SS-tier dory suitable for level 989.
Entering her professional domain, Fool’s demeanor changed completely. She examined the design seriously, “It can be done, but what’s the point?”
Maxen’s current flail, though he despised it, was still very powerful.
Helping Maxen switch to a new weapon, even if he mastered it quickly, would just be another flail.
“Look closely.”
Mike pointed to a part of the design, explaining, “Here is an energy slot. Through battle, the dory can absorb the enemy’s blood, accumulating energy. When the energy is full, it will emit countless blood lights…”
Fool’s eyes lit up, “The blood lights form a greatsword!”
She smiled, satisfied, “Good, this way, you and Maxen are definitely going to get slashed at by Mars. I’ll make this weapon!”
Mike ignored the first part of her statement.
Ares slash me?
I am Thor, an SSS-tier talent holder, a potential Supreme Being of humanity, Maxen’s close friend, Shadow Nine’s designated protectee, Apollo’s chosen successor.
Ares slash me? As if.
Since Fool agreed, Mike asked, “How long will it take?”
Creating an SS-tier weapon was no easy task.
Mike wanted Fool to help so that once the weapon was ready, Apollo could deliver it to Maxen.
By then, the Abyssal Plane would likely be in chaos.
Maxen, wielding the new weapon, would wreak havoc, and when the dory transformed into a greatsword, Ares would appear to save him…
What a perfect script!
Fool held up three fingers.
Mike frowned slightly, “Three days or three weeks?”
“Three minutes,” frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Fool finally found a chance to mock Mike, and she didn’t hold back, “Do you have some misunderstanding about me? I usually forge SSS-tier equipment. Occasionally making an SS- tier piece, do you think it would take longer than you getting an SSSS rating in the Tower of Truth?”
For the sake of his plan, Mike didn’t argue with Fool. He asked, “What materials do you need?”
“Here’s the list.”
A materials list appeared before Mike. He clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking slightly, “This list is enough to make two SS-tier weapons!”
He was totally taken advantage of and made to look like a chump!
Fool chuckled, “My skills aren’t perfect; there’s always some wastage.”
She had just claimed she could make an SS-tier weapon in three minutes, and now she said her skills weren’t perfect. It was a huge irony.
Mike accepted the list.
After all, Fool was in his private space; she couldn’t leave.
Whatever she took from Mike today, she would have to repay with interest in the future.
The extra materials, Mike considered them a loan at 6% daily interest, to be repaid later.
“I’ll bring the materials shortly, wait here.”
After settling two matters, Mike went to the Mystic Market to find Foreskin.
“Get me the materials on this list, Nature Element and Water Element class skill books, and other items. How much in total?”
Foreskin quickly gave a number, “A total of 6,500 Battle Lord merits.”
Mike swiped his card, leaving him with only 23,480 Battle Lord merits.
After getting the items, Mike learned the skill books one by one and reviewed the corresponding items and scrolls.
Due to the Mushroom Hat, Nature Element healing also carried extra damage.
Commonly known as: toxic healing.
Therefore, Water Element focused on healing and damage reduction, while Nature Element
focused on shielding, trapping, and killing enemies.
Mike didn’t learn any Nature Element healing skills!
The [Twinborn] perk of [Force of Nature] had a chance to randomly cast a Nature Element spell when Mike cast a Lightning spell.
Previously, Mike didn’t have a Nature Element class, so he didn’t consider this perk.
Now, with the Mushroom Hat, if Mike accidentally toxic healed himself in battle, he might
even kill himself!
That would be a big joke.
For his safety, Nature Element healing skills were off-limits for now.
Among the two elements’ skills, there were several core skills.
For example, [Magic Reflection], which could redirect the next enemy attack.
[Infinite Ice Seal], which could freeze a dying entity, consuming a large amount of mana per second, keeping their health at 1 HP. The longer it lasted, the more mana it consumed.
[Nature Shield]: Automatically grants a shield equal to 25% of the mana consumed whenever
any spell is cast.
These skills mainly helped Mike cover his weaknesses.
For real damage skills, Mike had plenty.
Even if the enemy stacked [Wind], [Fire], and [Lightning] immunities, Mike had ways to counter. As a mage, he could even use the Thunderclap Hammer for close combat!
After learning the skills, Mike immediately took the materials back to his private space and
handed them to Fool.
Three minutes later, a brand-new dory was ready.
All the data matched the design provided by the [Eye of Truth], even exceeding it in some
aspects!
Despite her low intelligence, Fool’s forging skills were top-notch.
The weapon, named “Dorakos,” required level 989 to wield and was custom-made for
Maxen.
Mike had never seen an SS-tier weapon above level 900 before. Looking at the Dorakos planted in the ground, he felt a twitch in his mouth.
The Dorakos was incredibly heavy; even with Mike’s Strength attribute over 10K, he couldn’t
lift it!
“How am I supposed to take this out?”
Unable to lift it, he couldn’t store it in his inventory or carry it…
Just then, Fool casually walked over, hooked the Dorakos with her pinky, spun it around her
finger, and placed it back on the ground.
The disdain was silent, needing no words.
Helpless, Mike had to make another trip to the Trade Secret Realm to borrow a spatial item to
carry the Dorakos.
With the Dorakos in tow, Mike left the private space and returned to Earth.
“Shadow Nine, I’m back!”
Placing the long box on the ground, Mike excitedly said, “Look what I got for Stone!”
Glancing at the long box, Shadow Nine’s voice seemed a bit unnatural.
“Impressive, a weapon for level 989. Hmm… it’s ‘perfect’ for Maxen right now! He’ll probably
cry tears of joy when he sees it!”
