Almost without any hesitation, Abel took out a bottle of 'soul potion' and poured it into his mouth. His brain began to operate like an overclocked computer. The complex pattern network that his power of the will had perceived appeared in his mind in a three-dimensional form, and it was constantly rotating as his brain carefully examined every angle of the pattern network.
His power of the will had found the beginning line of the pattern network, and he began to trace the structure of the pattern network. Abel found that from the beginning to the completion of the pattern network, only one line was used for the hole, and the thickness of the line and the angle of the turn were constantly changing.
In Abel's mind, the changes in the composition of the line seemed to have a magical power. When the pattern network was completely drawn, the original pattern network disappeared, leaving only the newly drawn pattern network structure.
At this time, a figure appeared in his mind. In front of the figure was a full set of blacksmith tools, including a stove, hammer, anvil, and so on. The figure was holding a big sword, and the figure began to make holes on the big sword. The figure seemed to have the same experience as Abel. The big sword kept switching between the stove and the anvil, and soon a hole was made.
Next, the blacksmith tools in front of the figure suddenly disappeared, and it was replaced by a rune drawing table, a rune pen, and a bottle of rune ink that Abel was most familiar with.
The figure began to draw the pattern network in the hole. The figure's memory was very scary. It seemed that the complex pattern network just now was perfectly drawn without any difficulty. However, the moment the hole was drawn, it began to explode. The creation failed!
The figure in his mind kept repeating the process of making the hole, little by little, correcting the shape of the hole so that it was exactly the same as the hole on the Fallen Wizard's magic staff in terms of shape, size, and depth. However, the failure continued to occur.
If it was a normal person, they would be annoyed by the countless failures, but the figure in his mind would not. When the hole's shape was perfect, he began to change the rune ink. He tested all the rune inks with known attributes, including those that he did not collect. Fortunately, this was a virtual image in his mind. As long as he knew the attributes of the materials, he could simulate it. Then, there were endless experiments. He adjusted the rune ink little by little. After all the possibilities of failure, he changed to another type of rune ink.
After increasing the ratio of a material in the attribute-less rune ink, the hole did not explode after it was drawn. Instead, it successfully produced a white light, and a groove that was exactly the same as the one on the Fallen Wizard's magic staff appeared on the big sword.
Abel slowly woke up and looked at the 4 bottles of 'soul potion' on the ground. He could not help but smile bitterly. All the skills that he needed to learn now required a large amount of 'soul potion' to master. At first, he thought that 20 bottles of 'soul potion' was a lot, but now he only had 2 bottles left.
Although the 'soul potion' was used, Abel was still very excited. The ability to punch holes was an ability that only very powerful blacksmiths in the Dark World could have. Now, he actually had this ability.
Abel came to the blacksmith shop and began to forge the Knight's big sword. First, he forged the rough blank of 130 times. Then, he forged the shape of the big sword. Finally, he made a hole on the body of the sword. He was definitely worthy of the title of Blacksmith Master. There was no mistake in the whole forging process. Every movement was perfect, and the hole was exactly the same as the one made by the virtual figure.
The next step was to make a special attribute-less rune ink. Before he learned alchemy, Abel could make rune ink. Now that he had learned alchemy, making rune ink was very easy. After making it, he used the Hradik Cube to synthesize a special attribute-less rune ink.
During the drawing process, Abel used the 'Akara rune pen'. During the whole process, as long as there was a slight mistake, the 'Akara rune pen' would remind him. When the last stroke was done, a white light flashed, and a perfect hole was opened.
Success! Abel took out a flawless sapphire from his portal bag and placed it in the hole. The hole seemed to have come alive and swallowed the sapphire. There was not a single trace of the sapphire on the surface of the big sword.
Abel put the Knight's big sword into the Hradik Cube for identification.
Big Sword (Normal) (1)
One Hand Damage: 3-7
Durability: 24/24
+ 3-5 Ice Damage Dealt
Groove (1)
Seeing that the Hradik Cube recognized the hole he made himself, Abel felt a sense of pride in his heart. Every person in the Dark World only had two chances to make a hole on a piece of equipment, and now he had the ability to do so.
After being happy for a while, Abel carefully looked at the big sword in front of him. He still felt a little unsatisfied, so he threw the big sword into the fire again. After a while, the big sword was placed on the anvil again. At this moment, he wanted to make a second hole for this big sword.
At first, everything went smoothly. Because of his experience, there was almost no difficulty. Soon, it was time to draw the pattern network. The 'Akara rune pen' helped Abel draw the pattern network perfectly again. But just when he thought he was going to succeed again, the big sword suddenly began to make a cracking sound. The Knight's intuition began to alert him. Abel, who had made countless exploding big swords before, didn't even think about it. The first thing he did was put the big sword into the Hradik Cube.
He failed. A good big sword with a hole turned into an exploding big sword. Abel walked a distance away from the Rogge camp and opened the portal. When the portal was about to disappear, he took out the big sword from the Hradik Cube and threw it out. He quickly rushed into the portal.
Hearing the explosion from afar in the Rogge camp, Abel felt a little helpless. He didn't know what went wrong. How could this happen? He was very clear that there was no trace of error in the operation just now.
Looking at the last two bottles of 'soul potion', Abel made up his mind. He took out another bottle and poured it into his mouth. The virtual shadow appeared again, but this time, it was a big sword with a hole in it. The shadow began to make the hole and draw the pattern network. The moment it was done, the big sword exploded, but the big sword in his mind disappeared the moment it exploded.
What followed was countless experiments. All kinds of possibilities were tested over and over again. When he reached out his hand to grab another bottle of the soul potion, he realized that there was no more of it.
The last two bottles of 'soul potion' did not help Abel solve this problem. He also didn't want to take up Black Wind and Bai Yun's resources. Even if Black Wind and Bai Yun didn't know about these resources, he was a person who would never do anything to harm his friends.
There seemed to be only one possibility. From the moment he used the 'soul potion' to the moment he woke up from his futile experiment, Abel thought of a possibility. He had never touched a 2 hole equipment before. Maybe the second hole of a 2 hole equipment was made in a completely different way from the first hole.
He was almost certain of this possibility, but it was getting late. He had been in the Rogge camp for almost 10 days. The night in the Holy Continent was almost over, and the morning was coming. He couldn't waste any more time here.
Abel thought to himself that he would have a chance to touch a 2 hole equipment in the future. He ignited the town portal scroll in his hand and canceled the skeleton summon. Afterward, he returned to his mansion on Lambe Road in Angstrom City with Black Wind.
First, he cleaned the bloodstains on him and Hei Feng's body, then he closed the two arrays.
"Master! I've prepared breakfast for you! " Steward Brewer was already waiting outside Abel's room. He quickly bowed as soon as he saw him come out.
"Thank you, Brewer!" Abel nodded with a smile.
