Divine Emperor of Death

Davis became a bit tempted as he seriously thought about hiring Sophie Alstreim to upgrade his Grieving Emerald Scythe to Low-Level King Grade. If she truly could enhance it, then his favorite Scythe would accompany him for a bit more time.

He couldn't wait to slice the flesh of his enemies with it as it felt refreshing, but his actions would have it that he possessed lesser enemies due to his peaceful disposition. It was only when he was deeply provoked he would forget about his peaceful disposition.

Moreover, if the Grieving Emerald Scythe breaks into the Low-Level King Grade level, then it would successfully give birth to an armament spirit! It would then come to possess a basic means of communication prowess, able to interact with Davis and the others.

Davis felt that it was truly magical, but he already had twice the experience, speaking with Isabella's Peak-Level King Grade Earth Dragon's Destructive Sword, and his Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear, the Low-Level Emperor Grade Spear which is fearful of him but also not completely accepting of him.

He also possessed a Peak-Level King Grade Armament, the Earth Dragon's Destructive Spear, but he had never used it, nor did he have the time to entertain it since it's also unlikely to have answers to the questions he needed, just like Isabella's Earth Dragon's Destructive Sword.

In the center of the hall, Sophie Alstreim placed the Emerald Indic Ore on the blacksmith furnace before placing both of her hands on a designated spot that seemed to be connected to underneath the place where she placed the ore.

Her essence energy revolved in a frenzied manner from her dantian and flowed all the way to the palm of the hands through her meridian pathways, passing through into the furnace!

Flames blazed through the holes from beneath, engulfing the Emerald Indic Ore in an abrupt and exceptional manner! It surrounded the ore in flames, trying to burn it!

Davis looked as if he approved the flames she had invoked with her cultivation base. He could sense that her flames were tremendous enough to burn a defenseless Law Dominion Stage Cultivator into ashes!

Despite being a Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage Cultivator, she was able to conjure a might that could clearly kill a Law Dominion Stage Cultivator. Clearly, she was also a talented young lady of the Alstreim Family in terms of battle prowess.

The others also couldn't help but nod in both appreciation and reluctance. They felt that Sophie Alstreim had the skill to back up her statements, but it was unknown if she could keep up her energy, stamina, and concentration till she managed to forge a complete weapon.

After all, this was just the start, and there were many points where a blacksmith would mess up in the process of forging. The women were also constantly learning from the men's commentary, and some even started to actively learn more about blacksmithing by asking their peers since they felt that they could use this knowledge to improve Alchemist Davis somehow.

Indeed, a minute passed, and Sophie Alstreim's forehead was already starting to sweat. Even her body was already starting to sweat because she had expunged twenty percent of her essence energy already without taking a single break to refine the Emerald Indic Ore into refined steel.

After a few short minutes that seemed as if a long time had passed, the Emerald Indic Ore turned greenish, bright volcanic red before it started to visibly melt. It turned into a semi-solid state!

Sophie Alstreim knew that it was time as she took it out. A glove was summoned into both of her hands, and she handled a clamper with her left hand, taking the melting Emerald Indic Ore out of the furnace before placing it on the anvil.

Her left arm seemed constrained as she seemed to be straining to hold the Emerald Indic Ore. Indeed, as a King Grade Ore, its weight was anything but small.

Only a Gold Stage Cultivator could easily lift the fist-sized Emerald Indic Ore, but Davis saw that Sophie Alstreim had only reached the High-Level Silver Stage but considering her age, Davis felt that she had achieved more than what was required of a talented female cultivator.

After placing the Emerald Indic Ore on the anvil with difficulty, Sophie Alstreim raised her right hand, and a hammer was summoned into her grasp.

Her eyes twitched fiercely as her demeanor suddenly changed! She abruptly swung the hammer downwards in an arc!

*Clang!~*

A dent appeared on the melted ore as the sound of the hammer hitting the ore sharply resounded as if it was a melody. The youths didn't even react in an annoyed manner to the metal sound but were suddenly entranced.

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

Sophie Alstreim kept swinging down the hammer as it repeatedly dented the ore. Each of her movements was practiced to a flexible degree that her arm flailed like a whip, each strike landing on the melted ore, shaping it into the form she was trying to create.

With each swing, her bosoms trembled, and sweat flowed down her body and fell towards the floor.

The men did not even seem to be looking at her but were instead concentrated on her forging process.

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

But to Davis, who didn't know much about blacksmithing, his gaze occasionally landed on the forging process but was mostly concentrated on her.

Her free-flowing blonde hair waved along with her forging methods, and it formed an image that made her look like a diligent and zealous woman.

However, she was already covered in sweat. Her breathing became strained, and veins seemed to be visible in her arms as she held the Emerald Indic Ore with the clamper and swung the hammer at it in a trance.

Clearly, forging a Low-Level King Grade Weapon seemed extremely difficult for her, and it also appeared to be impossible with her current cultivation base but still, she was swinging the hammer with all she got.

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

Indeed, Sophie Alstreim was almost regretting her decision to forge a Low-Level King Grade Armament at this point!

She was initially just trying to melt the Emerald Indic Ore a little, obtaining Emerald Indic Steel from it before mixing it into another malleable Peak-Level Sky Grade Steel, therefore forging a high-quality Peak-Level Sky Grade Weapon!

However, with Kayan Alstreim's provocation, she was tempted into creating a full-fledged Low-Level King Grade Weapon.

Nevertheless...

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

After hundreds of swings, her arms tightened, and she swung it once again!

*Clang!~*

Sophie Alstreim looked at the Emerald Indic Ore that she had whipped into a small yet sharp dagger!

She knew that she would be successful because she had just recently had a breakthrough in her blacksmithing skills and forged a small Low-Level King Grade Flying Knife!

Even the handle was something created out of Emerald Indic Ore, and the dagger was perfect for a woman to use! She didn't waste the impurities but hammered it down into the handle, only coating the outer part of the handle with Emerald Indic Steel, making it durable and firm.

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

She released the pressure on her muscles but used her essence energy as she released flames from her left hand, making it easier to whip it into the shape she wanted even to the minor details.

She continued to temper the small dagger as she swung down the hammer and heated it in intervals when required, making it more refined, sharper, and more durable, all the while having a grin on her lips.

Kayan Alstreim's expression was somber. With the results he was witnessing, he was rather starting to be convinced that Sophie Alstreim could really make a Low-Level King Grade Armament!
