My Dragon System
chapter-416

It had been a good couple of weeks since Ray had arrived back at Avrion, and so far things seemed to be going smoothly. The ex members of the black ring guild were sent out along with Dan to the section of the Shadow plague continent they had cleared. They were not only defending the place but also helping build as well as grow the place at the same time.

The agriculture was going fine as well. Using the gold that Ray had brought in, they were able to buy all the things they needed and with the help of the aid that the queen had sent from the Alure kingdom it looked as if soon they would have quite the farm on their hands. Both Lenny and Bliss were also looking for ways they could develop special solutions to help them grow faster while teaching the newly selected students and adults about magic.

There still weren't many, around twenty or so people, but every place had to start from somewhere. As for the citizens that recently joined the kingdom, the expansion project was underway. The bulk of the work was being done by Katy and the werewolves who had joined. There were no questions asked when they were told to do what they needed to do.

However, the problems started when they tried to ask the citizens to go ahead and start building the homes they would soon be living in. This type of thing was uncommon. Usually when moving to a city they would be allowed to do work as long as they could pay taxes, but this wasn't Ray's order. He felt like they would appreciate and care about the city more, if they were the ones who actually built the homes they lived in.

Some refused and decided to head back, but still, most of them decided to stay in the end. In a way it was a form of labour anyway, and they were still getting plenty of food, and good sleep in the city until the expansion was done. Still, there were other problems along the way.

Some of the humans seemed to dislike the fact that there were half human, half beast type creatures living with them. It worried the regular citizens, for they felt like if they were ever to have an argument or get into some type of fight, they might kill them by accident.

Because of this, a few more people decided to leave. There were still those that had their doubts that decided to stay, but that was mostly because Jack was looking after them. Jack had grown quite the reputation in the city as the king's right-hand man. If he was okay with everything, then so would they.

'King's right-hand man huh,' Jack thought. 'Unfortunately, that place was already taken by someone else even before me.' He thought after hearing all these rumours of himself.

It was strange Ray had felt busy at this time, but at the same time not busy. Sylvia would every day would update him on the matters in the city, and he would often go check them out, talking to the public, talking to the different sections of the army. Whenever he returned home, he would be beat. Even more so than when he used to fight.

Still, there wasn't much he could do, as it was pointless to even hunt in the local area due to the lack of high tiered beast. But finally, it seemed like he had something to look forward to. This was because both his and Jack's weapons had been completed by Randin.

Remembering how powerful the bow was in Martha's hand, Ray couldn't deny the fact that he was expecting something just as good. As for the meeting spot. Randin had told him to go to the outside training area, behind the academy on the open field, knowing that Ray would want to give them a try.

When Ray had arrived, he could see the small dwarf Randin and two of his forging students standing by his side holding equipment in their hand. The only thing was the equipment was covered by cloth, waiting for the grand reveal.

"I've worked hard on this, my dear friend." Randin said as his hands were still covered in a strange black substance. As if he had been working on it until this very last moment. "First, let me show you this." Randin said as he pulled back the cloth that was hiding the bigger weapon of the two.

Underneath the cloth was what could only be described as a giant hammer. It was so large that it was as big as the student carrying it. The bottom of the handle was placed on the floor, while the top part of the head which was wider than his shoulders went slightly above his height.

Although, this shouldn't be too much of a problem for Jack, since he was quite tall compared to others.

"As you can see, you wanted big, so I delivered. And I thought what would be better than the ancient club. Starting off with a thin handle from the bottom and slowly getting thicker as it goes upward, then when we reach the top we have almost a giant tooth-like design. On one side the flat head, a large surface area that will be able to slam any giant beast, and the other end, a sharp point, that can be used to hook in and pull creatures apart."

"Of course, like with most of my equipment, I tried to keep to the stylish black and red design. Although the equipment looks ancient and literally has looked as if it was carved right out of a living beast, there are several red lines of energy from the beast crystals running through it. Almost making it look like a volcano, and one more thing."

Randin then went to take the giant club hammer from the student. The whole scene looked ridiculous as the hammer was nearly three times the size of Randin himself. Still, somehow he was able to hold the giant thing with one hand. His muscle building and the veins running through his whole body.

"Watch this!" Randin said, grabbing it now with both hands. Using all his strength, he lifted the hammer above his heads, and the two students that were near him quickly got out of the way. Swinging down the hammer as hard as he could, he smashed it against the floor, causing a small crater.

But then something strange continued to happen. From the initial attack, underneath the ground, it looked as if something was alive, moving, and bringing up part of the floor with it. Then when it treaded about two meters away, a large piece of earth popped up from the ground shooting up. Looking at it, Ray could tell the force of the pillars that had appeared from the ground was powerful and fast.

"The king tier crystals I chose all belonged to earth type beasts. They had the ability to control earth in some way, and I was able to bring that across into the weapon. I call this an active skill. Anyone can use it, and it doesn't require Magic either, like Martha's bow. Although I would say what her bow can do is an active skill as well."

"The force from the pillars that rise up is always the same, no matter how hard or soft you hit the ground. But the weaker the attack, the smaller the distance, and the stronger the attack the further it will go out. Jack will have to practice a bit to get used to it, and of course, this attack only works being used on the ground or a solid object. If he was to hit a person with the hammer normally, or a creature, nothing would happen, other than the pure force of the original attack."

Thinking about it, Ray thought something like this might be a little too difficult for Jack. But if he was to try it himself, maybe he would be able to know or not.

Picking up the hammer for himself, Ray wanted to give it ago. With one hand, he decided to slam the hammer down, quite hard out on the field. The ground started to rise slightly, going in a straight line, and this time it seemed to go out about ten meters before poles of earth had risen from the ground.

"This is impressive." Ray said. "It will give Jack some variation in his attack, and will do well when he needs to defeat an opponent far away." Placing it in his dimensional space, after he had one more thing to do, Ray would head back and hand it to Jack.

But finally it was his time, saving the best till last; Ray wanted to see what his new and improved gauntlets would be able to do.

"Here we go." Randin said.
