Chapter 73: 73: Sky Thorn

Entering the smithing facility, Angus found the inner smithing facility is empty. Since it is the weekend. no student or employee is working at this time. Looking that the old man Balrug quarter is empty, Angus begins to check the basement training area.

On the way to the basement, Angus occasionally hears a hammering sound. *Ting* *Ting* Besides the hammering sound, he also heard Balrug's voice instruct someone.

Entering the basement, Angus sees Balrug and Bail is on a big complex smithing station working on something.

"Increase the heat more!!" command Balrug while he hammering something.

As for Bail, he used all his concentration and strength to control the furnace machine. After hearing the sound, the furnace became hotter and even affected the surrounding.

Angus even needs to coat his body and clothes to not get burned. However, the two dwarfs look fine in this kind of environment. They only slightly sweating despite being very close to the furnace.

Looking at this, 'So, this is the racial trait of a dwarf. Even in this kind of burning environment, they still look fine.' thought Angus silently while observing the two dwarfs.

In Firuman, there are a lot of races besides the human race. Some of these races have  unique traits such as the elf long lifespan, the demon race bizarre-looking, dwarf fire-resistant body and many others.

Some of these races are quite useful like the fire-resistant body the dwarf has. It helps them resist the heat during their smithing process from the furnace.

Unlike in modern earth smithing, in this world the smithing process is more complicated sometimes they also use a custom furnace to produce a higher temperature. 

It is not that the furnace couldn't contain the heat from the inside but it is because the temperature is too high that it cannot be contained.

Looking at the high temperature, Angus feels that if it is not inside this heavy enchanted room, the entire facility will be burning down. This is just from the heat of the furnace radiance.

He subconsciously couldn't imagine how high the temperature inside that customized furnace would seem to explode anytime.

After a while, "Hurry, cooldown the temperature!!" command Balrug.

"Yes, Boss." replied Bail while controlling the furnace.

Suddenly, the furnace began cooling down to a frightening degree. It could even freeze the floor and ceiling. Then, a sizzling sound could be heard and create a lot of smoke. *SSSTTSS*

"Increase the temperature again!!" command Balrug.

As Balrug increases the temperature of the furnace, the room becomes hot again. All of this kind of changing temperature happens a few times. 

Seeing that the old man Balrug is too focused on the smithing, Angus gets out of the room as he couldn't stand the changing temperature at a fast speed like this.

Even coating his body with mana, he still couldn't stand the changing temperature rapidly like this. Withstanding high temperature or low temperature is one thing but withstand the changing temperature rapidly is a different matter.

After waiting for hours, Angus thought of going out as he couldn't see the old dwarf. As he wants to go away suddenly the hammering sound is stopped and huge mana feels from the basement. *BOOM*

A moment later, a booming sound heard. Angus immediately went towards the basement area. He was afraid that the furnace couldn't hold and explode. There are already many cases where the customized furnace blows up because it cannot withstand the pressure.

Most of the small furnaces  that blow up are small and harmless. But, looking at the furnace that Balrug uses Angus thought that it could explode with the same potential as the C4 explosion on earth.

Entering the basement once again, He found Balrug holding some kind of spear in his hand while Bail rested on the floor exhausted. Looking that it is not the furnace explosion, Angus feels relieved.

After waving the bizarre-looking small looking spear in his hand, "Good… This will be one of my masterpieces." said Balrug proudly.

Finally, after a while, Balrug begins to notice Angus presence. "Brat, you are coming at the right time. Here is your new weapon that I promised one year ago. It took a lot of effort but it's quite a masterpiece." said Balrug proudly.

Looking at the weapon in Balrug's hand, "Y-You.. I-It's that the weapon that.. I…" as Angus couldn't put a word looking at the familiar shape weapon.

"Yeah, this weapon. I believe you called it Sky Thorn from your sketches." replied Balrug happily as he saw Angus' reaction.

"Hilarious… You create that weapon." as Angus immediately approach Balrug.

Then, he looks and tries to touch the bizarre-looking weapon in Balrug's hand like trying to touch a newborn baby. One year ago, Angus requested to use the Manatium Balrug bought for his new weapon.

However, Balrug is not an ordinary crafter and weapon maker. Unless it is something ordinary, he will not make it. So, Angus creates various kinds of weapon sketches for Balrug. Some of them accepted but there also some that are impossible to be built.

Sky Thorn was supposed to be impossible to be built as it is an impractical weapon that is difficult to be used. A weapon that could not be used is the same as junk.

However, at that time the old dwarf only commented that it is an interesting weapon before looking at the other sketches. So, Angus thought that it is impossible to be made.

The weapon looks like a spear with the body made of metal in an entangled vine shape. On both ends, there are long curved shaped blades. There are also some thorns decorated with the blade's sides. It is a bizarre-looking weapon from hell or something similar place. 

Looking at the Angus frozen expression, "Oh yeah… it also could do what you told me before." said Balrug

"Really?!!" replied Angus excitedly.

"Yeah, although because of that I need months to create it. But, the function should be similar." explain Balrug.

"Hurry.. Show me.. Show it to me." Angus's mature demeanour immediately change like a kid.

"Okay...Okay.. Just step back a little bit. It might be a little bit dangerous." said Balrug

After Angus steps back a little bit, Balrug positioned the weapon horizontally and sent his mana towards Sky Thorn. Suddenly, the cursed blade in one end shot at incredible speed and hit the nearby wall. *BAM* *CRACK*

Along the curved blade that shoots out, there is a chain attached to it connected to the body. Unexpectedly, Balrug staggered a little bit from the recoil and almost fell.

"I didn't expect that. It's much stronger than I thought to even create a crack on this heavy enchanted wall." said Balrug.

"Awesome!! How did you make it? The chain seems longer than the weapon itself?" asked Angus excitedly after looking at the weapon show.

"Well, I will not bore you with technical stuff. Let's just say I combine spatial products with this and connect them through the chain. The chain could be stretched as long as 200 meters. But, I think I will reduce its firepower since the recoil is too much." explain Balrug.

"200 meters?!! Cool!! That's exactly like I want. I think it is better to not decrease it. Maybe you should increase it. Otherwise, other people could dodge it or parry it." said Angus.

"Hm.. that's true. But, the recoil is very serious. Why don't you try yourself?" replied Balrug while retracting the blades that embedded in the wall.

"Can I?" asked Angus

"By all means.. It's yours from the start anyway." answered Balrug while giving the weapon to Angus.

As Angus holds the weapon, he feels the heaviness of the weapon and checks its stability. After swinging the weapon a few times, "The weapon is perfectly balanced as all things should be. Old man, this is a great weapon."

"Hahaha… Why don't try to shoot it?" said Balrug.

For a crafter like him, he was also satisfied and happy if his client found their weapon compatible and perfectly made for them.

Then, Angus lays it horizontally and sends mana towards one of its ends like Balrug done before. Once again the weapon shoots its curved blade with a chain attached to it towards the wall. *BOOM* *CRACK*

On the contrary, Angus fell on the floor and broke his wrist from the recoil while holding down the weapon.

"Ouch… That's some crazy firepower." said Angus.

"See.. I told you so. Wait for a second, this feeling… Grade one mana core, you are already forming it." commented Balrug.

Hearing Balrug comment, "Well, I just get lucky and forming it earlier." replied Angus.

Angus didn't hide his mana core to Balrug before, so Balrug could easily  detect his mana core despite it having the feature to hide its aura.

"You little bastard.. Lucky my ass. I hear the human race usually forming their mana core at the 13-15 years old. To think at the age of 11 you are already forming it. I cannot say anything to your talent, brat." said Balrug.
