Chapter 375: 387 Soul Bound Weapon

Placing an ingot of celestial platinum into the furnace connected to his mana etcher, Marcus quickly melted down the metal that would stabilize and strengthen his enchantments.

Once that was done, he carefully placed the two cores he was using as his focal points into the scythe's blade.

After that he embedded a few darkness and light elemental crystals around the two cores, before carefully carving out four strips of lightning elemental crystals.

He then took his mana etcher and carved into the pole of the scythe, making four parrel lines around it to place the strips of lightning elemental crystals.

When it was done Marcus sighed in relief since had he made even one miss step, he could have ruined part of the scythe, and at the very least had a major setback.

'All of the pieces are in place and the prep is done. Time to get to work.'

With everything ready, Marcus took his mana etcher and began feeding it his power.

He needed to exert it nearly to its max to be able to cut into the adamantine, and it took a great deal of focus and stamina to accomplish.

Still, Marcus felt like he was in the zone when making the enchantments on his scythe.

He first started with the basics, etching in formations that increased mana conductivity and the durability of the blade

After that he moved on to ones that increased the sharpness and power output, before adding a few more basic enchantments that were used in almost every decent weapon.

Then he moved onto more specialized ones, adding the enchantments that allowed for weapons to fight and defend on their own, as well as return to the wielder.

Yet even though these enchantments were pretty advanced, they were child's play compared to what Marcus had to do next.

Moving down to the scythe's handle, Marcus began work on etching in the enchantment that amplify his railgun, and as hard as it had been last time to accomplish this time it was even more so.

Luckily, Marcus' preparations had been perfect, otherwise the lightning elemental crystals embedded into the scythe's pole might have exploded, or when he connected it to the blade it could have damaged the magic cores that were heart of the weapon.

However, as difficult as that was, what came next was going to be the hardest part.

Marcus needed to connect the two cores and the enchantments around them together, and hope that the two opposing powers did not cause the weapon to break.

'Embodiment of eclipse, harmony form.'

For this last part, Marcus used his supreme skill, in order to become more in tune with the elemental energies in his scythe, making sure to adjust the powers and make sure neither overwhelmed the other.

'And it is done.'

Connecting the last enchantment together, Marcus turned off his supreme skill which had all but completely drained him and let out a sigh of relief.

Everything had seemed to go well, and his weapon was completely stable, with all of the enchantments appearing to come together correctly.

Yet, as Marcus was about to sit down an take a moment to rest, he felt a throbbing in his chest, and a searing pain through his entire being.

He did not know what was going on, but if felt like someone was taking a hot knife and butchering him.

And in truth this was a fairly apt description, as his chest began to dissolved, and the essence that normally leaked out when he was injured began flowing away from him.

Except unlike when he was injured this essence was much more pronounced and denser, and Marcus quickly realized it was part of his soul.

This part of his soul then flew into the scythe he had just finished and was absorbed inside.

Once the pain had subsided, Marcus turned his attention to his scythe which was glowing and undergoing some type of transformation.

"No that should not be possible!"

Marcus watched as a pattern of and endless night sky full of bright stars began to appear on his scythe, as it was recognized by the system as a masterpiece.

Ding!

'You have leveled up to level forty-three.'

Ding!

'You have leveled up to level forty-four.'

With even more surprises coming in, Marcus was completely dumbfounded when he heard the notification for two level ups.

"Status."

Opening up his status window Marcus wanted to get to the bottom of what was going on, but the first thing he saw made him want to cry.

'My spirit stat has decreased by four hundred points!'

This was a huge blow to him, since a large amount of his abilities relied on his high spirit stat.

Still before he started to get too upset, he checked his system messages to find out what achievements he had accomplished.

'Successfully create a system recognized weapon made of adamantine while below level fifty.'

'Successfully bind your soul to a system recognized item.'

Reading through these notification's Marcus now realized what he had done.

When he had added his own arms to the adamantine, he had inadvertently tethered his soul to the metal.

However, that was not all, when he finished the scythe, he had been focused on making it as strong as possible, and unconsciously gave it both the blessing of darkness and light.

'Great now a part of my soul is stuck in the scythe. Still, I suppose that somehow caused the system to recognize it when otherwise it would not have. And I got two levels out of it so I can always raise my spirt stat back up.'

Trying to think on the positive side, Marcus went over all of the pros of what had just happened trying to console himself at the loss of a huge chunk of his spirit stat.

Flopping down right onto the floor, Marcus just laid there, feeling worn out after going all out to make his new scythe and having a portion of his soul ripped out.

He had not been this exhausted in some time, but even he had his limits.

'I should go and ask Thabon about this. He might know something more.' Marcus thought as his mind started to clear.

While he did not think that there would be any problems, since even though he felt like a part of him was missing, everything seemed stable and none of his stats were constantly going down.

Still, there was a possibility that what he had just done could have dire consequences down the road, so he wanted to confer with his master.

'Okay time for a test run.'

After spending around an hour to recover, Marcus' curiosity had reached its peak, and he could no longer wait to test out his scythe even though he was not fully recovered.

Walking out of his workshop, Marcus noticed that the sun had risen high into the sky, and that the day was already well into the afternoon.

'Looks like someone has already come by and left some lunch outside. I guess I did not hear the knock on the door.'

Picking up the covered food, Marcus stored it away into his item box, before moving over to a nearby clearing and summoning his iron golem to use as a practice dummy.
