Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of relentless work, Broken prepared for the final stage of crafting his masterpiece. He reached for the Monster Soul Stone, meticulously shaped to fit perfectly into the right section of the knuckles.
With one swift motion, he plunged the stone in. The moment it made contact with the knuckle’s surface, energy surged forth from within, illuminating the entire room with a blinding golden light. When the light finally faded away, what remained in his hands was nothing short of a magnificent creation-a weapon unlike any other.
The majestic knuckles glowed with a golden radiance over its green base color, captivating every spectator in the room. Their heartbeats seemed to synchronize as though they were all unified in this moment of awe. Murmurs of admiration and astonishment rippled through the crowd.
“I’ve never seen such elegant and beautiful knuckles before.”
“This knuckle gives off an aura that surpasses even an Epic-grade. I’m almost certain it’s a Unique-grade item!”
“No, no, it can’t be Unique-grade; look at its pristine gold hue!”
“Could it be Legendary grade?! No way, no way!”
“I think the gold color is merely the knuckle’s hue, not an aura signifying its grade.”
“Impossible! But still, my heart can’t deny that fact.”
“It has a shimmering gold aura surrounding it. There is no doubt this must be Legendary grade!” another observer declared, swallowing hard in disbelief.
The advanced rank blacksmith, Titonor, his face glistening with a sheen of nervous sweat, edged towards Broken, his heart racing with a mix of fear and awe. His hands shook as he became fixated on the knuckles in Broken’s possession.
“Err… can I take a look at it?” Titonor inquired, his voice trembling.
Broken gazed up at the sea of spectators, confusion furrowing his brow. With a resolute shake of his head, he spoke firmly and clearly, “Absolutely… no!”
Without any delay, he stood up, signaling with his actions that he was ready to leave. Understanding his intent, the blacksmiths quickly stepped aside, creating a clear path for him. Ivana and Freya closely followed as they exited the blacksmith workshop.
“Please, let us admire your knuckles for a little while longer,” one of the blacksmiths pleaded. “I want to be your disciple, Broken…” another called out, hopeful.
“Master Blacksmith… I’m sure he will bring a new era to Yunatea,” another murmured in awe. The blacksmiths felt uneasy as they processed the extraordinary sight they had just witnessed. None of them had ever seen a Legendary-grade item in their lives, and their excitement was palpable just from seeing it. Imagine if a blacksmith could actually craft such items!
“Damn, have we been treating him too poorly all this time?”
“Yeah, who would’ve thought that someone we considered an amateur could achieve something so incredible?”
Titonor clenched his fists tightly upon hearing this. “I still doubt that’s a Legendary-grade item,” he said, his voice trembling.
Broken carried his newly crafted weapon, showing no intention of letting anyone else examine it. Their footsteps gradually faded into the distance until their presence was no longer detectable.
He hurriedly reached their inn room, his heart racing as he eagerly revealed his prized possession. His hands trembled as he ran his fingers along its sharp edges, marveling at its true worth. He had poured so much effort into crafting this work of art, and now the fruits of his labor had exceeded his wildest dreams.
Taking a moment to steady himself, Broken reviewed the notifications that had appeared in his vision, which he had previously chosen to delay reading.
[Congratulations, Broken! You have achieved the impossible and have become the first player to successfully craft a Legendary-grade item.]
[For this incredible feat, we hereby grant you the title of ‘Legendary Crafter’, and hope that you will continue to craft even more Legendary-grade items in the future!]
[May your crafting skills be everlasting!]
[You were granted one Blueprint Creative Creation Ticket. This ticket allows you to bring your imaginative ideas to life.]
Broken glanced over the “Blueprint Creative Creation Ticket” he received as a reward, but he was unable to take the time to read the item’s description because another quest notification popped up.
[You’ve shown you can create a Legendary Item, but now you need to make more items to prove you have the skills and talent to be the next Legendary Blacksmith.]
Swallowing hard, Broken felt his heart begin to race with excitement. “I could become a Legendary Blacksmith?” he thought to himself.
[A new Quest, ‘Blacksmith’s Path of Legend’, has been bestowed upon you.] Finally, he understood the function of the skill he possessed, Blacksmith’s Path of Legend. This skill’s true effect only manifested once he successfully crafted a Legendary-grade item. No wonder Fokil hadn’t tried to explain the skill’s purpose-he wouldn’t have been able to achieve this without the exceptional advantages he possessed as a Sloth Champion.
[Path of the Legendary Blacksmith]
[Rating: S]
[The legend says that only those truly deserving can become the Legendary Blacksmith. To prove your exceptional skill, you must create five Legendary Items that showcase your unmatched craftsmanship. Let your masterpieces shine as a testament to your dedication and strength. Achieve this, and you will earn the title of the Legendary Blacksmith!
So, gather your courage, ready your tools, and show the world what you’re capable of! Good luck, blacksmith!]
[Clear Conditions: Craft 5 Legendary Items
Progress: 1/5]
[Clear Rewards: Become the Legendary Blacksmith.]
[Quest Failure: -]
Broken read the description of the new quest and furrowed his brow as he confirmed that he could indeed upgrade his blacksmith class to a Legendary-grade. This realization ignited his passion, and he felt an overwhelming urge to craft more items. However, he quickly remembered that obtaining blueprints capable of crafting Legendary-grade items was no easy feat.
However, if he can upgrade his Class to a Legendary Class, that means he might even have the chance to craft items of a higher grade than Legendary. He swallowed hard, imagining the
potential.
Now, five legendary items might seem like a small number, but considering how difficult it is to create them, it’s definitely not an easy task. It would likely require a series of quests and a lot of luck if he wants to craft another four legendary items. Despite this, he managed to achieve his first legendary item in just about three months after securing his Divine Champion
status.
“But five legendary items?” he whispered softly. His mind buzzed with possibilities.
He turned to Freya and Ivana, who were both awestruck by what they had witnessed. Realizing he had momentarily forgotten about them in his excitement, he saw their eyes
brimming with curiosity about his new knuckles.
“So, have you finished admiring your masterpiece, Mr. Blacksmith?” Freya teased.
“There are so many things I’ve discovered, but I’m still riding the rush of adrenaline from all frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
of this,” he replied simply.
“So, it’s true then? A Legendary-grade item?” Freya inquired.
The trio then took seats, intent on reviewing the details of the new knuckles he had crafted. And indeed, it was a Legendary-grade item.
“You actually did it! You crafted a Legendary-grade item!” Ivana exclaimed, admiration clear in her voice. “Congratulations!”
Broken placed the knuckles on the table and wasted no time reading its detailed description.
