Chapter 1183: Shadow Moon Staff
Peaceful times usually pa.s.sed unknowingly.
Five days later, Spring Halo finally managed to gather all the necessary materials due to everyone’s hard work just before the start of the tournament.
With the upcoming tournament approaching, the PVP arena was filled with experts coming in for last-minute preparations.
While the Quan Zhen Sect’s players were not weak, their win rates were not comparable to w.a.n.g Yu.
The way w.a.n.g Yu fought solo was pretty simple. The tougher part was finding the opponent. Given w.a.n.g Yu’s strength, it would take less than ten minutes for him to find the opponent and kill him. If his opponent was some ignorant idiot who simply tried to ambush him, w.a.n.g Yu would take less than a minute to end the battle.
Even so, team battles were vastly different from solo fights. Not only those ones had to be brave, one would have to have some fighting spirit too. At times when they met with comparable opponents, it could take up to one hour per round… Just like that, they could barely fight ten battles in a day.
Being able to gather all the materials within five days was considered an impressive rate.
Within the Quan Zhen Sect’s forging workshop, w.a.n.g Yu stood in front of the workbench with Spring Halo’s staff on it. Everyone surrounded w.a.n.g Yu and stretched out their necks to watch Blacksmith w.a.n.g Yu in action.
If there was no accident, this should be their first time witnessing the making of a G.o.d-grade equipment.
The scariest part of using the Black Crystal was having the wrong attribute extracted. After all, this Black Crystal was extremely precious and valuable. Fortunately, Spring Halo’s staff only had one attribute so there was no need to worry about that.
w.a.n.g Yu placed the staff on the workbench, opened up the extraction plane and placed the Black Crystal onto it.
After a flash of radiance, Spring Halo’s staff turned into fine powder under the tremendous pressure of the magic.
“Bull, ah, please be careful…”
Looking at his staff disappear, Spring Halo’s heart almost jumped out of his body. He only felt relieved the moment he saw that the staff’s attribute was successfully extracted by the Black Crystal.
Spring Halo had depended on this skill for his entire life. If this staff was really destroyed, Spring Halo might just have to delete his account and quit the game too.
w.a.n.g Yu naturally knew how important this staff was to Spring Halo so he grew incredibly serious and focused after the first step. He cautiously took out the Grip of Darkness and placed it on the workbench too.
Following which, he said, “Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious. Once you’re nervous, my hands will tremble and everything might fail.”
“Oh…” Everyone held onto their breaths as they heard that.
For insurance purposes, w.a.n.g Yu even placed the ‘Divine Smith’ t.i.tle on his head.
Regardless of whether w.a.n.g Yu placed it on his head, the attributes of a Divine Smith would come into play. However, w.a.n.g Yu still felt more stable and secured with it on his head. After all, there were not many requirements for coordinations for combining equipment.
According to the system notification, w.a.n.g Yu placed the respective materials in order before placing the Black Crystal at the lowest notch.
All of a sudden, one more checkbox appeared within the Black Crystal’s material list.
“Intermediary medium???”
w.a.n.g Yu was slightly shocked as he hurriedly looked at the additional description: Usage of the intermediary medium can increase the rate of success tremendously. Additionally, there is a fixed probability of an extra attribute or a tweak in the attributes formed.
Looking at the description, w.a.n.g Yu clicked to use it without hesitation.
To w.a.n.g Yu, being able to create new attributes wasn’t important. The most important aspect was the success rate… If he really destroyed this staff, even if Spring Halo didn’t blame him, w.a.n.g Yu would never feel at ease with himself.
After clicking, a black coloured notebook appeared in the intermediary medium box. This item was the ‘Tyrone’s Diary’ which w.a.n.g Yu had no idea what it was for initially.
After readjusting his emotions, w.a.n.g Yu clicked ‘start’.
At the same time, dark clouds started floating towards the brightly lit Twilight City. The dark clouds covered the sky above the Twilight City’s headquarters as it was filled with visible lightning bolts.
The procedures continued as everyone noticed the changes in the sky above them. When they looked up and saw the clouds, they suddenly recalled the scene when w.a.n.g Yu forged the first G.o.d-grade equipment.
The only difference was that previously, it was magical clouds infused with sacred rays. This time, it was dark clouds.
Three minutes later, the instructions for the forging of the equipment was complete.
At this moment, a frightening lightning bolt was formed within the dark clouds. Seconds later, this lightning bolt pierced through the roof of the forging workshop and struck onto the Grip of Darkness.
At the same time, a system notification was announced.
“As the voice of darkness approaches, the bugle horn of battle is about to sound off. Player ‘Iron Bull’ has successfully uncovered the seal of ten thousand years to release the G.o.dly equipment of the devil race. Darkness has returned to the land and this moment shall be recorded in history.”
…
Following the system announcement, the radiances on the workbench dispersed and the new equipment showed itself.
The three ma.s.sive gems were still as eye-catching as before while the originally eerie-looking skull had turned into a half-moon shape.
On the staff, there were magic inscriptions carved onto it. The dark energy circulating around the body of the staff instantly attracted the attention of everyone.
w.a.n.g Yu wiped his sweat as he opened up the attributes.
