Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)
chapter-374

As Noah was moving in the Celestial Realm, his Ancient Blood Clone had begun the tedious work of raising the proficiency of skills in the Time Space while also taking the time to craft new sets of Blood Stained Infernal Oath.

The Item Set had a wide array of uses as it effectively created Berserkers that only became stronger as their vitality fell, finding great uses in the hands of the Beasts of the Spiritual Land and the Harbingers.

So far, he had created more than ten complete Blood Stained Infernal Oath Sets that he went to distribute to his people, but none of these crafting sessions had made him as excited as he was now!

Because currently, the burning blue flames in the Hearth of the Blacksmith's Forge flew out to wrap around the enormous tail of the Fire Behemoth that held numerous spiked crystals on it. The blue flames acted like a snake as they wrapped around this tail in its entirety, Noah watching with rapt attention as he began to oversee the process where the massive tail filled with life force was cut apart as small pieces flew towards the Hearth and disappeared in the flames.

The process was quick and smooth, but something different occurred as the Ancient Blood Clone went on to observe the blue flames taking the thick hide, meat, and bones of the Fire Behemoth, but the numerous crystal stalagmites that were all over the tail were left floating in the air as a new panel filled with shining blue text appeared on Noah's eyes.

[You have obtained x34 Soul Rank Fire Crystals, a normal material capable of enhancing flame-based Items with greater efficiency than Cores.]

Noah's eyes widened as he observed the finished process of the entire tail being cut apart and the muscles and bones disappearing in the Hearth, the only thing left behind being the shining crystal spikes that were all over the tail of the Behemoth, their identity actually being materials that could be used with the [Refine] feature of the Blacksmith's Forge!

He thought back to the huge chunks of the Behemoth that Boru and his teammates had gotten and the numerous stalagmite crystals that were still spread out all over the back of the humongous beast as his main body in the Celestial Realm hungered for the body of a Behemoth all to himself. He would take it one step a time though, and observe exactly what results it would bring out first.

The clone continued to observe the burning flames in the Hearth as the essence of the Spiritual Land was quickly and without reservation sucked towards the Blacksmith's Forge, the Item coming out from the forge this time ultimately being something of great value. The ingredients were the enormous tail of a Behemoth that was standing stably at the Soul Rank, so Noah looked forward to the sort of weapon that would be one level higher than the Blood Stained Infernals Oath Set Items that he had been creating recently.

The process continued on for another few minutes and before long, an eruption of essence and light occurred yet again in the Blacksmith's Forge as a regal aura spread out, the temperature in the surroundings beginning to rise rapidly a red shining weapon rotated in front of the Ancient Blood Clone's eyes!

It was a weapon that passed Noah in size, being slightly larger than himself as it slowly came to life before his eyes. This was a type of weapon that Noah had seen before, but had never actually used in his lifetime. It was a weapon with a single handle in the middle, but it had sharp blades sticking out from each of its ends as it looked like a double edged sword-spear. If he knew his weapons correctly, this should be something that goes under the name of a Glaive!

His thoughts were affirmed as the rotating item slowly released waves of heat in the air, calming down as its description appeared in front of his eyes beautifully.

SOUL [Glaive of Simmering Ember] :: From the rage filled embers of a Behemoth, a glaive simmering with deadly flames comes to life. +100 Fire Elemental Power, +100% Physical Damage, +100% Elemental Penetration, +50% Attack Speed. Additional Ability: Descending Conflagration. (Part of the Incandescent Flameborn Set)

[Incandescent Flameborn Set] :: An Item Set that only an experienced hunter of Behemoths can adorn. 2 Set Item Bonus- An Ember Phoenix accompanies your side as they attack your enemies with fiery attacks. Ember Phoenixes are spiritual beings that can be summoned again as soon as they perish. 4 Set Item Bonus- When dealing damage with the Fire Element, enemies will take 500% extra damage over 5 seconds as the Burning Effect is applied on their bodies. The damage dealt by the user will also be increased by 50% and the damage taken is reduced by 3% for every Flameborn Item they have equipped. 6 Set Item Bonus- A Blazing Ring of Fire passively and constantly erupts with you at the center, applying the Soul Immolation Effect to your enemies. Enemies under the Soul Immolation Effect take 1000% more damage from abilities of the Fire Element.

A beautiful set of words that were extremely pleasing to the eyes appeared in front of the Ancient Blood Clone as he sucked in a breath. The weapon itself was crazy enough, but he had just finished reading the possible Item Set that could be created from the materials of a Fire Behemoth as his jaw nearly dropped to the ground!

The set bonus for 2 items seemed interesting, the bonus for 4 items looked crazy, but the bonus for having 6 items from the Incandescent Flameborn Set was simply insane! Noah looked over the description of the achieved ability that dealt something called Soul Immolation, as well as the huge 1000% boost that was attached to this ability. The numbers were too crazy for one to wrap their minds on the first time, and could only be viewed and tested fully on the battle field!

He went over the description of this fantastical weapon another three times before he reached out and grabbed onto it.

RUMBLE!

He felt the ever so increasing temperature of his surroundings gradually calm down as he grasped the weapon in his hands, its size a few inches bigger than his as he swiftly began to move it around. He felt an unnatural heaviness coming from the weapon as every time he moved it, thin streaks of flames began to bubble forth dangerously!

This was the first weapon that he had crafted that had an ability also attached to it, his eyes going over the [Descending Conflagration] as he wondered exactly what it would be. The attack speed boosts, physical damage boosts, and the Elemental Penetration were also amazing qualities by themselves, but he also came to the new introduction of something called Elemental Power!

He observed the [Glaive of Simmering Ember] as the flames that were asking to erupt within it continued to dance wildly, his thoughts moving rapidly as he went on to test the normal materials that had appeared from the tail of the Behemoth. The Glaive flew out of his hands as it went back into the Hearth, his mind sending a command to use the [Refine] feature for the first time.

RUMBLE!

15 of the crystal stalagmites that were considered Soul Rank Fire Crystals flew into the Hearth along with the Glaive of Simmering Ember, essence converging yet again as this session was much shorter than the last one, being less than a minute before the Item was thrown out of the Hearth once more. Noah glanced at the description yet again as he noticed some changes.

SOUL [Glaive of Simmering Ember]+1 :: From the rage filled embers of a Behemoth, a glaive simmering with deadly flames came to life. +110 Fire Elemental Power, +110% Physical Damage, +110% Elemental Penetration, +55% Attack Speed. Additional Ability: Descending Conflagration. (Part of the Incandescent Flameborn Set)

A +1 had appeared on the powerful weapon, as well as its boosts being increased by a small amount!

But...this was only a single successful refinement that had pushed the power of this weapon by more than 10%. Noah's thoughts were running wild as he thought of all the possibilities of refining this type of weapon numerous times, as well as the other Items that were part of this Incandescent Flame Born Set that this [Glaive of Simmering Ember] was a part of. Although his thoughts were brought to a stop as he remembered he currently did not have any more pieces of a powerful Soul Rank Behemoth, and he only had 19 more Soul Rank Fire Crystals remaining on him!

This reminder brought his hungry thoughts back to the Celestial Realm, where the Righteous Fire Exploration Team was moving back towards the Sanctum to recuperate their spent essence. Noah walked along with them in the fantastical forest atmosphere of the Celestial Realm nonchalantly, fitting in perfectly as his clone had finished creating an Item from the materials of a Behemoth that was more refined than any weapons that the members of the Righteous Fire Exploration Team were wielding!
