Chapter 535 Forging a Quasi-Divine Weapon, Roy's Masterpiece!
Having established relationships with his girls, Roy felt relaxed and at ease, walking with a spring in his step and possessing more energy to handle other matters.
Roy clicked "Extract" on the system interface, and a warm, luminous sphere appeared in his palm—the Divine Core dropped by the Black Dragon.
He never knew how to use this thing.
This is an extremely rare divine item, containing fragments of the power of nine gods. Using it will grant a portion of that power. However, the system warns that humans cannot bear the power of multiple gods, and its use is not recommended.
Ignoring the system's advice will only lead to trouble, and Roy has no interest in risking his life.
Roy's gaze fell on the "Earth Power" skill bar. This was also the power of a god, and there was no doubt that he could not use this core of a god.
Keeping them would be a waste, but it's impossible to use their own girls as test subjects, so Roy was also torn.
Until this day, Roy, who had taken out the core of the god, keenly sensed the change in the surrounding atmosphere and, guided by the natural wind, walked forward.
Roy arrived at the courtyard of the Star Garden.
The World Tree he planted had grown strong and tall, reaching a height of fifty meters, thanks to years of careful nurturing. The sudden appearance of such a massive tree within the city would have prompted the guild to send someone to investigate long ago, had it not been for the Astrea Familia's unique status.
Sensing Roy's presence, the World Tree seemed to awaken from its long slumber, its lush branches swaying gently, exuding joy and tranquility.
call!
Emerald green leaves fluttered down from the branches without wind, like living spirits intimately surrounding Roy, dancing gracefully.
The World Tree's closest people are Roy and Astrea; the former planted it with his own hands, and the latter was connected to it by the goddess's divine blood.
Both can be considered its reborn parents.
"I'm back." Roy stroked the tree trunk. The World Tree Fruit was a major reason why the Astrea Familia girls had not suffered any casualties this year.
World Tree growth: 56%!
As Roy touched the tree trunk, an analysis panel immediately appeared in front of him. The World Tree had grown so rapidly over several years using the sacred spring water of the Great Sacred Tree and the Cadmus Spring.
"Do you want this?" Roy's gaze lingered between the Core of God and the World Tree.
In an instant, the World Tree fell silent.
An even more surging pulse of life surged through every branch and every leaf like a tide.
The main trunk emitted a deep and majestic hum, and the dance of leaves surrounding Roy became more rapid and brighter. The flowing green light intertwined and resonated with the radiance of the divine core, exuding an indescribable excitement and longing.
"It's up to you!"
Having received the reply, Roy did not hesitate for long before sending out the seven-colored orb of light radiating divine power. After all, it was useless to keep it, but a pity to throw it away. It would be best if the World Tree could make use of it.
The World Tree's branches gently accepted the sphere of light.
Under Roy's gaze, the divine core, shimmering with seven-colored light, merged into the World Tree.
[The World Tree is absorbing the core of the gods. The current progress bar is at 1%, and it is estimated to take 10 days. Upon completion, its growth will increase significantly, and there is a chance that it will inherit a portion of the gods' powers!]
Roy was amazed when he saw the panel that popped up. The World Tree had solved this problem for him; otherwise, there would have been no one to use the God Core.
The World Tree, having obtained the core of the gods, did not revel in its joy. A branch extending from its main trunk fell with a thud in front of Roy.
Name: World Tree Branch Level: Quasi-God Description: A branch that fell voluntarily from the World Tree. Its hardness is comparable to the hardest metal (orogen), and it contains extremely powerful vitality, capable of self-healing and regeneration!
Roy picked up the branch, read the information on it, and then looked at the World Tree, whose lush branches swayed gently, as if thanking him.
Like the Great Sacred Tree, these spiritual trees only grant special magic and higher levels to branches that are voluntarily offered up.
Forcibly cutting down trees will only yield firewood.
"Good boy." Roy patted the World Tree's thick trunk. Only through give and take can a relationship last.
Carrying the World Tree branch, Roy returned to his own blacksmith workshop, where he happened to see a beautiful elven girl standing at the door, her hands behind her back, kicking pebbles out of boredom, looking extremely cute.
"Ryu, you've come at the right time. I've found the materials to upgrade your equipment." Roy took out a World Tree branch.
Ryu's eyes lit up as she stared at Roy expectantly.
Roy took the other's soft, boneless hand and they entered the forging workshop together. Liu's Elf Radiance Dragon Staff was an epic weapon that he had commissioned from the god Guberniu to create using the Decapitation Blade, the Nine Dragon Staff, Elf Radiance Fragments, and Crimson Order Fragments.
Now that Ryu is a Level 8 Adventurer, her Elven Radiance Dragon Staff is a bit outdated. On the other hand, the Boots of Justice that Roy crafted for her have grown from a basic item to a legendary item.
Roy was pondering how to upgrade the Elf Radiant Dragon Staff when the World Tree Branch appeared.
Both are made of wood, which is a perfect match.
Roy threw a bunch of special firestones into the furnace, and a raging fire immediately rose up. The temperature inside the forging workshop rose sharply, as if they were inside a volcano filled with molten lava. Fortunately, the two of them were of high level and had amazing physical constitutions, so they could withstand the temperature without any problem.
Place a branch of the World Tree in the center of the furnace.
Incredibly, the emerald green branches were not burned to ashes in the raging fire, but instead gradually turned a translucent crimson, their texture far denser than that of steel.
Roy, with keen eyesight, timed the moment perfectly, then removed the object with the clamps, placed it on the anvil, and raised the forging hammer high.
Clang!
With a single strike of the hammer, a crisp metallic clang resounded, and the branch slightly deformed, with shimmering light spilling from its texture.
clang!clang!clang!
Roy skillfully swung his hammer repeatedly, the heavy hammering sounds echoing rhythmically throughout the workshop.
Sparks flew like stars with each strike.
Flames surged in the furnace, while Liu steadily pushed and pulled the bellows beside him. The flames rose and fell like living things, casting flickering light on Roy's focused profile.
Roy's hammer fell in succession, the rhythm precise and powerful. The branches gradually stretched out under the hammering, removing impurities and transforming into the shape he desired. Then, he forged the Elf Flowing Light Dragon Staff.
The bright red cane gradually blends into the branches!
Roy was completely focused, every ounce of his attention was on sensing the state of both, and even with his quasi-god-level weaponry, his success rate was not 100%.
Sweat trickled down his forehead.
Liu tiptoed, her plain handkerchief brushing against Roy's forehead, gently wiping away the beads of sweat.
Her movements were swift and gentle. Her gaze fell on Roy's focused brows and strong arms. His resolute and handsome face made her heart flutter. The flickering firelight reflected in her clear eyes, as if something equally bright was quietly spreading within them.
Clang!
Several hours later, the decision was final.
Without hesitation, Roy placed the fused ethereal light into a specially prepared liquid water, and with a "sizzling" sound, a large amount of blue smoke rose up.
A moment later, when the elven light was taken out again, the crimson faded, and a blue glow flowed from the blade. A slender, leaf-like wooden sword lay quietly on the anvil, its natural wood grain faintly visible on the blade, yet shimmering with elven light, serene yet brimming with boundless vitality.
Name: Elf Radiance - World Level: Quasi-God - Special Effect (Eternal Life): Forged from branches of the world tree, the blade can self-repair if broken or damaged, and absorbs blood to accelerate its speed.
Special Effect (Staff Sword): A sword blade that also functions as a staff, enhancing magical effects.
Special Effect (Dragon Breath): Releases three types of dragon flames: an unquenchable azure flame, a red mist flame that negates magic, and an icy flame that causes frostbite.
Special Effect (Divine Wood Armor): Rapidly grows new branches to form wooden armor for the user, with defensive capabilities comparable to quasi-divine level armor.
Durability: 99%
Roy smiled with satisfaction upon seeing the information about the new equipment. The Elf Radiance was not just about adding a special effect; it was a comprehensive improvement in sharpness, hardness, and magic affinity.
Roy leaped from epic level to quasi-god level in one go, breaking the framework left by Gubrun.
It's fair to say that he crafted this piece of equipment!
"Ryu, take this. This is the highest-level weapon I can currently create!" Roy laughed, handing the Elf Flowing Light World to Ryu.
"call!"
Ryu gazed at the brand-new wooden sword, then at the handsome and confident Roy, her fingers clutching the handkerchief damp with his sweat. Her heart pounded like the distant, unextinguished fire, warm and clear.
Her heart was filled with anticipation; this was Roy's masterpiece, created with all his might!
Having studied under the forging god Gubnew, Roy's forging ability has been honed to C-level. As a blacksmith, Roy is considered the best in the world among humans. Apart from the gods, only a very few immortals can compare to him.
Despite her high expectations, the moment Ryu actually grasped the Elf Flowing Light World, the power of this equipment far exceeded her expectations.
The previous Radiant Spirits are nowhere near as good as this!
call out!
With a gentle wave of her hand, Liu sent the blade flashing through the air like a cold light, its sharpness causing ripples. Not to mention the four equipment effects, which were ridiculously powerful.
The special effect "Divine Wood Armor" is activated!
A powerful life force surged forth, accompanied by a verdant glow. New buds sprouted from the wooden sword, quickly growing into slender vines that intertwined and formed a lightweight wooden armor around Ryu's body.
According to Ryu's needs, the armor can change shape at will, fitting tightly to her body without affecting her in any way, and even increasing her speed.
Its defensive capabilities are absolutely top-tier!
Liu was overjoyed and nodded slightly, her clear voice softening slightly: "Thank you—thank you, now I can fight with all my might again."
We will no longer be held back by underperforming equipment.
Her sky-blue eyes were filled with endless affection. She would use this equipment, which Roy had personally crafted, to fight for him and protect him with all her might!
Looking at Ryu's sincere expression, as if she were confessing her love, Roy felt a surge of warmth in his heart and couldn't help but take a half-step closer. "Just saying 'thank you' isn't enough—"
"this!"
When Liu saw Roy's teasing and meaningful gaze, she knew him too well to not understand his thoughts. A blush rose on her fair and cool face. She forced herself to remain calm and quickly placed a light kiss on Roy's cheek.
But before she left, Roy moved.
Roy's hot, large hands quickly wrapped around Liu's slender waist, gently pressing her towards him.
Then, Roy lowered his head and kissed the captivating elven girl's lips heavily, not with the gentle touch she had given him before, but with a warm breath and a clear possessiveness, lingering and deepening.
"Ugh————"
Liu trembled, her face and neck turning bright red in an instant, like rouge blooming in the snow. From struggling to submitting, she responded clumsily with her eyes tightly closed.
Roy's hands moved like serpents, weaving through the silk fabric and brushing against his sensitive skin.
Liu sensed Roy's intention to take things further. She opened her eyes, feeling shy, flustered, and a faint, almost imperceptible expectation deep inside.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Ryu raised her hand and pressed it against Roy's chest, her voice barely a whisper: "Wait, wait—"
Lady Astra told you to take good care of yourself, so that we can't—”
"Can't what?"
Roy didn't loosen his grip; instead, he hugged Liu even tighter, a bright smile playing on his lips.
Ryu turned her burning face away, her voice almost melting into her breath: "—I can't seduce you."
As soon as she finished speaking, this usually aloof and sharp-sword-wielding elven girl was so embarrassed that her long eyelashes trembled and even her fingertips shook slightly. She wished she could bury herself in the deepest part of the earth.
"hehe!"
Roy chuckled softly, his fingers gently stroking the elf girl's flushed ear tips: "Don't worry, I'll explain to Astraea that you didn't seduce me, that I took the initiative, is that alright?"
Perfect bug exploit!
Astraea's words have limitations on the members of her harem, but Roy has no such restrictions.
"Um----"
Liu's response was as soft as a trembling breath. The blush on her cheeks deepened, spreading from her face like the sunset quietly spreading across a snow-covered plain, gradually filling her entire skin. The rouge color flowed down her slender neck, tinging her fair, jade-like swan neck with a thin layer of crimson.
She lowered her eyes and nodded almost imperceptibly, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.
Roy kissed her cherry lips again.
This time, Ryu did not dodge.
Her slightly parted lips were soft and warm, like a flower quietly blooming. The hand that had been gently resting on Roy's chest had loosened its grip at some point, her fingertips curling slightly, and finally gently grasping the corner of his shirt.
As their lips met, her breathing became erratic. Her eyes, usually clear and resolute like cold stars, now seemed veiled in a hazy mist, their gaze unfocused and shimmering, reflecting only Roy's silhouette so close to her. The last vestige of her cool resolve melted away in the deepening kiss, transforming into a soft, sweet moan from her throat.
The air was filled with a swirling, enchanting atmosphere.
Under the dim yellow light, figures crisscrossed, and a series of seductive sounds echoed in the forging workshop.
