Chapter 605 You Jinxed Us!
He started to change the shape of this alloy, forming something with six legs and three heads and tails. As he started shaping it, he impeded lots of the cores he prepared into it. When he was done, the final shape was giving the impression it was filled with bubbles or something.
He already worked on the cores, processed it by writing inscriptions and infusing them with different techniques of his. As for the alloy itself, he started gushing his different spirit elements into it, letting it absorb everything without showing any change on the surface.
"If I have enough, I\'d have added wings to it," William stood in front of the special alloy he just worked on, and felt satisfied, "let\'s hope it\'ll work."
It was finally time to complete this weapon. The process of finalising it wasn\'t as simple as just adding everything over this alloy.
He went first to the herbs he processed and purified. As he left them to cool down, they started to form a substance like wax or something. William was now in the black fox form and used his claws to spread this wax over the Soft Hard Golden Alloy.
The more wax he placed, the harder that alloy became. It felt like the alloy rejected the substances placed over it.
When he felt worried, as this was a very crucial step, he recalled the effect his fox form had and then started to touch the alloy slowly, as if he was caressing it or something, while releasing his spirit power.
When he did that, the alloy started to finally shine in a faint golden light. It was the signal William waited for, and that meant that alloy started to absorb the herbs\' essences at last.
As he made progress in this troublesome part, William started to also place part of the melted ores over the alloy. He didn\'t form any mould before, and decided to do it the same way his friend once did, using his own hands!
If he did it directly after melting the ores, then it\'d be suicidal. William wasn\'t crazy to do so, and thus he waited for the melted ores to cool down a little, form a substance that was semi-liquid, semi-solid, and started to shape it using his claws.
This was indeed his first time doing so. And thus, the final shape of these melted ores didn\'t come as he perfectly imagined in his mind.
But he didn\'t feel any discontent or discouraged at all. In fact, he was more satisfied by such a result.
He kept adding melted ores in layers upon layers, adding the herbs\' essence in between like waxing the entire thing. He spent almost ten hours in doing so, without taking a single moment of rest, totally focusing over what he was doing, totally losing himself in that.
During all this, something entirely different was happening at the city on the surface.
As William was busy dealing with his weapon making, Lara and Stark were trying their best to crush Richard.
After a few days of such intense fighting inside the family and inside the city, the two of them were standing on the balcony of their main headquarters inside the portal area.
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ The two were just speaking about the current development of the ongoing clash, ending up with Lara mentioning how fortunate they were to keep this portal area under their control.
And just as she said it, a very violent explosion erupted at one corner of this place. It happened all of sudden, without any warning, leaving behind a grand bellow of smoke and fire, accompanied by a suffocating silence in that balcony.
"Sh*t! You jinxed us!" Stark couldn\'t help but curse, took out many Message Papers, and started relaying his orders at once. He was acting as the general leader of the forces fighting on the ground.
As for Lara, she looked at the direction of the explosion in shock and disbelief at first, before noticing something.
"It didn\'t affect any portals… It just exploded in the area between two groups of portals…"
"That doesn\'t matter… As long as an explosion occurs, others will follow," Stark was really anxious at the moment. And just as he said his words, another explosion occurred at another spot. "Dammit! Stay here, I need to go down there and see what\'s happening."
Stark was a dark gold master, one at the high stage of it. He could use his spirit sense, but the number of masters in the portal area was too much to follow.
He wanted to wait until the special team he had in the surrounding areas would move to help control the situation, looking for the culprits. But it was too late to wait for them. If he did, then nothing would be left in the entire region.
He moved and Lara kept herself up there, watching the ongoing chaos and explosions that kept ranging like wildfire spreading all over the place.
"What\'s going on?!" after just half an hour and lots of explosions, she noticed the same thing she noticed before, "they never hit a single portal… What\'s wrong?"
It seemed like explosions were happening everywhere. But when looking closer, she could see that not a single portal got affected.
It was like the ones who orchestrated such an attack made sure to keep the portals safe. And that told her that this attack wasn\'t just as simple as it seemed from the surface.
[Something weird is happening here] and when she lacked any good ideas, she turned to the man she started to grow used to leaning on his shoulder in the past hectic days, William.
William was now in the final process of amassing his weapon. Looking at it now would tell anyone how grand this weapon was!
