Chapter 42 - Forging The Storage Ring - Part 3



To his surprise, he kept leaping left and right in the place for hours, without getting tired except when the nightfall happened. He spent over five hours using his tricks without rest, and this was a new record for him.

\'Have I gotten stronger?\' he muttered, while panting, as he stood there in front of the fire, with a very exhausted body and mind.

The final process then was simple, as he left the mould on fire for one more hour, where he went to eat some meat to inject more energy in his tired body. The work of the group was marvelous, as their stored now of food was enough to last them for months to come, and there was still two rounds of cooking before they finished all the pythons here.

Just as he was resting, he was thinking about the quenching process, when he got a brilliant idea. The quenching was important, as its role was determined by the rate of cooling the forged item would be exposed to. The shorter it was, the higher grade the final item was, and vise versa.

He thought of using cool water from the water stream nearby, but he refrained from that as he thought this process might take minutes. The best option he thought of was that rock, back at the monster\'s lair, where he could use the ice there to quench his ring.

Without delaying any longer, he asked Lily to summon Birdy again, which appeared in a happy mood, with much more feathers turning green.

"Let\'s go."

Arthur went on the back of Birdy, holding the melted liquid firmly by both hands, while Lily and Madly came as well. Madly asked to come, as she wanted to know what Arthur planned to do with this item. She knew he had to start quenching now, but she was puzzled by asking for Birdy\'s help.

So, the three of them moved towards the hive, and in less than a minute, they reached there.

The presence of all these eggs and that rock in the middle attracted the two girls\' attention, however Arthur didn\'t say much, as he directly descended over towards the rock, and once there, he put the mould over it, making it directly touch the rock.

Suddenly, a loud sizzling sound appeared, coupled with a thick white mist, emanating from the mould without pause. In less than ten seconds, the whole mould was frozen, and the forged ring inside laid, coldly, without any sign of heat.

Once cooled down, Arthur moved the mould fast away from the rock, then he touched the ring carefully, to make sure it was cool.

"What is this rock?" Madly asked.

"What is this beautiful ring?" Lily asked.

Arthur just replied simply:

"Don\'t touch the rock, or even I can\'t save any of you."

Both girls saw what happened when the mould touched the rock, and Madly grabbed the mould, which broke off at once, into small pieces. She sighed, as this mould was a precious gift from her grandpa Regil, but she wasn\'t that sad about it, as she knew it was destroyed for something good to be forged from it.

She was sure her grandpa would be proud when he heard this story.

"Moment of truth," Arthur mumbled, as he took the ring, and slowly wore it, but nothing happened.

\'It might need a binding process,\' he muttered to himself, as he cut his other hand, and dropped his blood over the ring. As expected, the ring absorbed all the blood, shone in green light, lighting all the lair amidst the process.

"What is happening?" Madly asked with shock, as this was her first time seeing an item do something bizarre like this.

"It\'s working!" Arthur muttered, in a clear tone, and happy voice, while tightly closing his fist, marveling this ring.

\'Let\'s see how many meters you have little one, I hope you don\'t fail me,\' he muttered, as he closed his eyes, sensed the link with the ring, like a lively heartbeats, before entering into that ring and observing its space in shocked expression.

"Oh my…" he muttered, as he opened his eyes from shock. This ring had a space that was over five hundred meters, and he felt as if he could move living things there.

"What a surprise indeed," Arthur said before laughing, like a maniac, as this surprise really took him off guard.
