Chapter 391: I Think So Too
Yanvlal and Krune decided to use some low-level Diamond Stars materials. Although it would still be somewhat expensive for them, it would all come back when they put the completed equipements for sale. Swords, Shields, Spears, Yanvlal Surrigel created several types of equipments with Krune's Purple Flames.
They also sent every completed work directly to the Blacksmith Organization. Sure enough, when they started to get those Diamond Stars Purple Flame items, they felt frightened. But they soon found out that the one forging them was a Diamond Stars Blacksmith. Krune was just providing the Purple Flames itself.
In fact, they aren't as good as if Krune had made them himself. After all, as well synched as Krune and Yanvlal work could be, there is bound to be some problems. Too bad that Krune was far from being able to create Chaos Energy, so he could only use this method.
However, it did not diminish the price of those items. In fact, due to the accord with the Blacksmith Organization, two of every ten equipments must be sold outside. So when the first Diamond Stars Purple Flame Weapons appeared, a bidding war started in the Blacksmith Organization Network.
In the end, Krune's and Yanvlal equipments were sold for ten to fifteen times the price of an equipment at the same level. That more than paid for the materials used by several times. Krune's pocket kept getting fatter and fatter the more he and Yanvlal forged things. Not to mention that Krune is making Ownerless Divine Imprints, so those turned out to be Spiritual Equipements.
One week later, Krune and Yanvlal finally took a break. They had forged without stop during this entire time, so be it Purple Lightning or Chaos Energy, both had been depleted.
"Phew... I think I have enough grasp of how your Purple Flames work. They are much stronger than the normal ones. My own flame can only be considered stronger at the moment because of my cultivation, that is all. Also, I finally noticed how you create those flames. No wonder you said that it is impossible to copy, I've never seen someone using Tribulation Lightning like that."
Krune shrugged his shoulders.
"I told you that. It was you and the Blacksmith Organization that didn't believe me. Anyway, after we recover our energies, let's start my orders. I won't be able to stay here a few weeks later, so I want to finish it as soon as possible."
Yanvlal nodded and didn't ask why. Wherever Krune, or better, Jolk goes has nothing to do with him.
Krune also took that pause to cook something and invite Yanvlal to eat together. Although he was surprised to discover that Krune liked to cook, he accepted in the end. Not to mention that Krune's food was really delicious!
A day passed, and the duo finally recovered their energies. With that, the Purple Flame Diamond Stars Shields forging process finally began. Krune had been forging Divine Imprints during this entire week, so he worked very fast and precisely on them. Every time Yanvlal needed the Divine Imprint, Krune would have finished it already.
One must remember that Divine Imprints with an owner must be attached to the equipment as soon as they are finished, or they will lose their use. They are different from the Ownerless Divine Imprints that Krune made so far for the other weapons. In just a few hours, the very first Kaleu Tribulation Steel Shield was ready.
Krune looked at the Shield, and his eyes shined. He sent a little bit of his Tribulation Lightning inside and noticed that it worked as well as his previous Tribulation Lightning Shields. One must remember that Krune's previous Shields were made of an Ore that appears after a Heavenly Tribulation in the Luvile Universe. For the Kaleu Tribulation Steel Shield to reach the same level, it shows that the material level is excellent.
Krune also tried his other elements, and this time, he felt a difference. The new Two Diamond Stars Shield had a much easier time letting the Elements and Laws running inside. It would definitely increase their protection level by several times over. But the thing that Krune was really happy about was with the amount of Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy it could hold. His previous Shields couldn't do even a tenth of what the new one can do.
'It seems like that idea will really work.'
Yanvlal Surrigel looked at Krune and asked.
"How is it?"
Krune turned to him with a bright smile.
"It is perfect!"
Yanvlal laughed out loud after hearing that.
"Good! Let's continue then."
Shield by Shield, Divine Imprint by Divine Imprint, the work progressed. One day, three days, five days, one week. During this entire time, over 20 Shields were completed. Krune and Yanvlal had to once again take another break to recover their energies. After another day of rest, they immediately started to work again.
It took almost two entire weeks for Krune's 38 Flying Shields to be finally finished. Even though Krune was tired, he couldn't help but go out to use the entire set at once. But that also helped him realize how harder it became to use them. The higher the level of the equipment, the more Soul Power one needed. Krune is still at the Divine Soul Realm. Simultaneously, Diamond Stars Equipements were supposed to be used for high-Level Soul Forging Realm and above due to the presence of Chaos Energy.
Of course, although Krune felt that it was harder to use, it wasn't to the point where his fine control got prejudiced. After all, both Krune's Soul Power and Divine Sense range far surpass an ordinary Soul Forging Realm cultivator or demon beast. If we make an analogy, it is as if you can lift 30k with ease without getting tired. So far, you had been lifting 10k, but now, you need to lift 20. Although it is heavier, you can still lift it without any problems.
After finishing testing his new Shields, Krune and Yanvlal took another break to recover their energy once more. They ate and drank for the day. It was evident that both sides were very happy with the result of their work.
When it came the time to start forging the Feifei's Swords, Krune called her over to watch and give her opinion. Although he had heard about what Feifei wanted, it would still be better to see the crafting process herself in case she felt like to change something.
Yanvlal was surprised to see a pregnant woman here. But in the end, he simply ignored it. After all, he doesn't really know about Feifei and the others, nor is it his problem. As long as he gets paid, he will make the Swords. Not to mention that he can craft even more with the Purple Flames. Yanvlal came to get addicted to how easy the material became to model when the Purple Flames were used. So the more he could craft, the better.
The forging process started once more. Feifei looked at everything with attention too. Sure enough, during the crafting process of the very first Sword, Feifei noticed a few things she wanted to change. First, it was the weight of the Flying Sword. She thought that she couldn't make it too heavy. Still, Feifei noticed that she could handle more than what was presumed without difficulties when she held the material used in the Sword.
There were also a few other things like the position of the Divine Imprint. Instead of having it at the center of the Sword, she asked it to be put a little closer to the end. Krune and Yanvlal didn't ask why. Equipments were personal things. What feels good for you doesn't necessarily feel the same for someone else.
The one who made the Divine Imprints this time was Yanvlal. After all, Divine Imprints like Krune's were only good if the person or beast himself forged them. Since an Ownerless one is being used, Krune gave up forging it this time and ask Yanvlal to do that. Yanvlal's level as a blacksmith is much higher than his; he can use Chaos Energy too, so the choice was obvious.
Before, Krune created them because those were going to be sold outside. So it would be good for him to practice more.
Feifei also asked that the Swords were made at the Two Diamond Stars Level. Although she is confident to use Three Diamond Stars or even one or two levels higher, she preferred to play it safe. Battles in a high level of cultivation can be decided in a split of a second. So a small mistake due to the level of the equipment could prove fatal instead. Stronger doesn't always mean better.
Once the First Sword was finished, Feifei brought it outside and tried to control it. Sure enough, her soul power made it extremely easy to handle the Flying Sword with her Divine Sense. The Sword answered every single of her calls without a problem.
Of course, Krune and Yanvlal could see that she was definitely a beginner. Her control had no problem, but she missed the timings, the power of the slashes, and things like that several times.
Suddenly, Feifei stopped and touched her belly.
Immediately after, she took out hundreds of Spirit Stones and started to absorb the Spiritual Energy from them. Krune didn't see anything wrong with that, but Yanvlal almost jumped in fright! He could totally see with his Divine Sense that the one who was absorbing the Spiritual Energy wasn't Feifei, but her child instead!
"Just what kind of monster baby is that?"
Krune looked at him and smiled.
"It's my little girl."
Yanvlal nodded.
"I see..."
But it was then that he noticed a problem.
"Whose baby is that again?"
Krune didn't mind answering.
"Mine."
Yanvlal was shocked! After all, he knows the chances of hybrid pregnancies. Of course, he didn't know exactly what the chances between wisps and humans were, but he believed it to be very low too. It's just that he didn't expect Jolk to be engaged.
"Now... That's what I call luck."
Krune laughed.
"I think so too."
