Infusing Mana in the Godly Clay, Almond got several small window boxes to shape his desired item’s aspects and attributes.
‘I’ll decide the name later. Let me first design its form.’
Almond rubbed his palms and drove both index fingers into the design window panel, drawing the sword with his own hand.
‘Hmm, this is going to be a growth-type weapon, so it will be cool if this sword can change its form,’ Almong grinned.
‘But I can’t draw two forms in one frame…’ Almond looked at the drawing window and thought for a moment before deciding to try something.
He wanted at least two types of swords. One, a heavy broad sword with a 1-meter wide blade at its base from the handle before slowly shrinking towards the upper point.
With such a big and wide-bladed sword, he could exert and transfer more of his physical strength in his swings.
Another form would be a long, slightly curved sword at the top with an ultra-thin blade part. Such thin blade-part could break earlier, but Almond wanted this sword form not to clash physically, but for harnessing and unleashing blade projectiles—long-range attacks.
So, one form to physically and brutally slaughter his targets in close range, and another to erase them from afar.
Almond drew both swords’ forms and designed them with a badass theme and patterns, both swords’ handles had a vertical eye with ✾ symbols blooming around their pupils, similar to the pattern that he noticed would appear in his eyes when he actively used his All-Seeing Eyes.
He could also color the swords, so he made blades golden like his eyes with dark gold coating and patterns carved on the blades and handles.
Once he was done with the design, Almond moved to the second window—Attributes.
He chose Space, Light, Lightning, Sand, and Wind.
‘I have yet to awaken Wind Elemental mastery, but I’ll awaken it soon once I use that Wind Elemental crystal1 I got.’
Almond was done with the attributes panel and proceeded with the Perk panel.
‘So I can choose the stats boost perk I want, eh? Awesome.’
Almond decided to distribute the perk boost by fifty-fifty for Strength and Perception.
The last one was the Effect panel, but he couldn’t choose the effects. Instead, he could choose which type of the four effects he wanted.
Almond chose one passive type, one active type, one toggle type, and one trigger type.
‘Done.’
Almond finalized his Godly Clay selections and got a notification while the clay began shining brightly before transforming into a big heavy broad-bladed sword, absolutely magnificent yet oozing out savageness as if it was going to eat everything due to the teeth-like patterns Almond had designed at the edges of its blade.

“Eh? Where are the effects?” Almond raised his eyebrows as he mumbled.

“Oh…Well, that sounds good. But this sword got a crazy attack. 5000 is max the legendary high-tier can get, and 300% is also the highest adaptive boost for legendary weapons,” Almond grinned and thought, ‘If I had this sword when I was fighting Lerkeion, I might have been able to deal a killing blow before he vanished.’
After he was done with the Godly Clay, Almond went to check up on Roken who had already resumed his work after taking a brief look at the Battlefield Hub.
“I’ll be done in two hours!” Roken said as he smashed his mystical Runic Hamer on a shield. “Only two sets left.”
“Awesome,” Almond grinned.
He didn’t disturb him further and left while deciding what to do for the next 8 hours.
‘Skill Insight needs 24 hours, so I can’t use it now. I’ll create my class skills after checking out the War Event. Insight Stone needs the same amount of time, I can try spending time in Weapon Art, but eight hours is too short for any progress…’
‘I can use Wind Elemental Crystal since it’s five hours-meditation or I can start training in Flow States since Admiral Rudra already gave me the method for it.’
Almond looked at the information on the two Flow States and fell into thought.
There were two Flow States as created by Admiral Rudra.
First, Overdrive.
Second, Overload.
He called these two states as trump cards because of how they worked.
The problem was that these were too difficult to learn. Even among the old monsters, only a few had managed to succeed, while others still regularly tried to master them in their free time.
Flow State—Overdrive: This required at least 5000 Mana, and Almond had reached that number already. In simple words, it was about using 5000 Mana and infusing them equally in every part of one’s body in a perfect flow, in a loop.
This Mana was not to be consumed as one must drink Mana potion and recover their Mana pool to execute skills and other moves.
This flow of 5000 Mana coursing through their body would cause a lot of strain, and even give pain, but once one properly succeeded in flowing this mana perfectly, achieving harmony of this mana with their body, this flowing mana would suddenly vanish, and incorporate into every fiber of their body, drastically empowering for 1 minute.
During this 1 minute, all other Mana techniques like Strength Boost, Focus Field, Fortification, Body Enfold, and Weapon Enfold, would be boosted by 100%!
This was the reason why Admiral Rudra was able to take a beating from Lerkeion and even smack him.
But when Larkeion entered his true form, Admiral Rudra’s one minute was up, and other old monsters knew he was a bit weak, which was why they all reacted that way to make a stalemate.
