Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 372 Ancient Iron Meteorite Sword
Bai Shi walked in the forging ruins, looking around with curiosity.

Should we say it is a forging ruins? It is completely different from other ruins in the border area.

This forging ruins is full of half-forged weapons and forging tools, even the ceiling is full of them.

These weapons have different shapes, all types of weapons can be found here, and the degree of completion varies greatly.

Some can barely even be called embryos, while others can be used in combat.

Most of the weapons used by those hybrids just now were semi-finished products picked up from the ruins.

And those weapons that are close to completion all have one common feature.

Without exception, the surfaces of these almost finished weapons are all engraved with strange flowing characters.

However, it seems that this special text called "flow pattern" should be engraved in the last few steps.

Bai Shi picked up an almost finished axe from the ground and looked at it.

'Flowing Axe (Unfinished)'

Recalling Messemo's introduction, Bai Shi tried to inject some magic power into it and threw it aside.

The unfinished axe whizzed through the air and embedded itself deeply into the wall.

As Bai Shi's thought moved, the magic power in him activated the flow patterns, and the axe that had flown out was instantly back in his hand.

Bai Shi became interested in this technology and recalled Messermo's introduction:

It is said that within the molten steel, words are engraved within the layers of wrinkles.

This is the language and soul that metals are born with.

The blacksmith would find these words and use them to fix the soul of the weapon.

And these unique characters are flow patterns.

In this way, all weapons whose souls have been found can be returned to the hand after being thrown.

Messermo's great spear was also reforged using the forging techniques of the Shadow Land and engraved with flowing patterns.

Therefore, it also has the effect of throwing and can be used at will.

But that was all before the holy war, and now he does not have any blacksmiths under his command who can use forging techniques and carve flow patterns.

Bai Shi held the Flowing Axe in his hand, trying to imitate the move that Messermo had once used, which was to condense countless large spears.

In the brief encounter before, Messermo had used this famous move called 'Piercer', which left a deep impression on Bai Shi.

Unlike the phantom weapon in Monget's hand that was purely condensed from golden power, Bai Shi could feel that the large spears condensed by Messermo at that time were all "real".

This may also be due to the special effect of the flow pattern fixing the weapon soul.

It’s a pity that no matter how Bai Shi tried, this half-finished Flowing Axe didn’t react at all.

Shrugging his shoulders, Bai Shi put the axe back to its original place and continued walking towards the depths of the ruins.

The hybrids occupying the periphery of the ruins had just moved out together and were caught in one fell swoop.

Now there are no creatures in the ruins that can disturb Bai Shi's exploration.

Bai Shi walked around the forging ruins twice and quickly found the blocked road.

A huge metal gate appeared in front of him.

The gate was very thick, covered with scars from weapons and claw marks from hybrids, but it had never been breached.

Bai Shi turned his head and looked around for possible mechanisms.

Soon Bai Shi discovered a mechanism on the second floor of the ruins.

However, the state of that mechanism doesn't seem to be very good...

Coming to the side of the mechanism and picking up the half-broken pull rod, Bai Shi shook his head.

Enter the forging ruins.

The malice of Hidetaka Miyazaki.

The mechanism cannot be moved.

The hybrids must be eager to go deeper into this forging ruin.

It's a pity that they really don't have any brains, and they can even break the handle of the mechanism...

Bai Shi threw the broken lever aside, and purple gravity magic emerged in his hand.

Under Bai Shi's control, gravity flowed inside the mechanism, pulling it up.

As the mechanism was opened, the heavy metal gate began to tremble and slowly moved away, revealing the road behind it.

Behind this gate is the true interior of the forging ruins, the core area.

Bai Shi walked forward along the passage.

Here, Bai Shi finally found the indigenous people that Messermo had mentioned.

Not long after entering the passage, a pool of 'fire slime' emitting high temperature like lava fell from the ceiling and hit Bai Shi.

Such a slow attack naturally had no chance of hitting Bai Shi and was easily avoided.

Bai Shi stood where he was, observing the little thing closely.

Although the form is completely different, this thing is exactly the same as the silver teardrop.

Especially when the slime extended a part of its body and transformed into needles that stabbed towards Bai Shi, he became even more certain.

This action is exactly the same as the silver teardrop, it's not even acted out.

Is it true that fs company reuses the inherited materials?
Bai Shi casually blew up a gust of wind, sticking the slime to the wall, letting it find a place to play.

Messermo had told him that the residents in the forging ruins had surrendered before, so he did not harm the slime.

At this moment, a heavy flying object came whizzing like a cannonball and attacked Bai Shi's face.

Bai Shi didn't even turn his head, but just stretched out his hands to block his side.

The heavy attack of the huge flying object was firmly blocked by the palm, but it continued to advance, and the remaining force caused a strong wind.

The surging power penetrated his body and left a huge dent on the wall next to Bai Shi.

However, Bai Shi stood still. This powerful blow didn't even allow him to bend his arm.

Just looking at the flying object in his hand, Bai Shi was very surprised.

...a fist?
The sudden attack was nothing more than a heavy fist of rock.

It was a huge fist like a broken rock, mixed with a large amount of metal, and half the height of a person.

Not only that, there are also flowing lines engraved on the surface of this fist.

The heavy fist finally lost its forward momentum and sank to the ground.

Bai Shi looked in the direction where the fist came from, and saw a giant golem as solid as a rock standing up from the depths of the ruins at some point.

Although its height is not as high as the war golems commonly seen in the border areas, its iron and stone body brings unparalleled mass.

Its raised right arm pointed directly at Bai Shi, and it was obvious that the huge fist was launched from here.

The flowing words on the giant golem's fist flickered, then disappeared in an instant and reappeared on the forging golem's body.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the Forging Golem slowly walked towards Bai Shi, very alert. Bai Shi shook his arms, took out a flag representing Messermo, and waved it at the Forging Golem.

This was the tool given to him by Messermo, specifically used to authenticate his identity with the forging golem.

As long as you authenticate your identity with the Forging Golem, the creatures in the Forging Ruins will not attack you.

However, before Bai Shi had the chance to authenticate, the Forging Golem had already launched an attack.

Having identified the item used to confirm its identity, the Forged Golem apparently lost its hostility.

As he walked over, the Forging Golem stumbled and said:

"Please... don't hurt... them..."

Bai Shi looked at the forged golem curiously. He didn't expect that this kind of golem could speak.

The golem technology at the border is also a black technology.

These statues even have real souls, and there are the ashes of the little devil in the game.

But this is the first time I have seen a talking golem.

The lava slime that had just been thrown onto the wall by Bai Shi was wriggling and coming to the side of the forging golem.

The Forging Golem half-crouched down, stretched out its huge palm, gently lifted up the slime, and touched its "head".

Looking at the friendly interaction between the Forging Golem and the Lava Slime, Bai Shi coughed twice and spoke to the Forging Golem:

“Where are all the ancient iron meteorites now?”

"I want to confirm their state of preservation."

The forged golem can speak, so direct communication is much more efficient.

After hearing Bai Shi's purpose, the Forging Golem stood up silently and walked towards the depths of the ruins holding the slime.

Bai Shi followed silently and took in the sights along the way.

There are no monsters in the Forging Ruins, let alone any enemies powerful enough to be called bosses.

That’s right, this place has been conquered once after all.

The only reason it is still there is because of the ancient iron meteorites preserved inside.

Soon, under the guidance of the forging golem, Bai Shi saw the preserved ancient iron meteorites.

In countless vigorously burning forging furnaces, ancient iron meteorites of various sizes and shapes turned slightly red and were frozen in a state suitable for forging.

These ancient iron meteorites can be preserved in their current state and taken out for forging at any time.

However, if it is not forged immediately after being taken out, it will not completely turn into a pile of scrap iron, but its quality will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, if there is no blacksmith who has mastered the corresponding forging technology, it is not convenient to transfer or use these processed ancient iron meteorites.

Looking at these meteorites that were obviously top-notch materials, Bai Shi nodded with satisfaction.

Bai Shi knew nothing about forging, but that didn't stop him from judging that this was an excellent material for armor.

After all, he deals with various weapons every day.

Bai Shi didn't know how to forge armor, but he knew clearly what effect the weapon in his hand would have when it hit the opponent's armor.

He felt that armor made of this material wouldn't be easy to cut, and that was enough.

The quality of the material of the ancient iron meteorite is indeed excellent, just as Messermo said.

Even without adding other materials, simply using ancient iron meteorites to make protective gear can have quite good defensive power.

Moreover, this forging site contains a considerable amount of ancient iron meteorites.

Not to mention making a set of armor, even making four or five sets would be completely enough.

Bai Shi can create several sets of armor with different shapes and effects to wear in turn.

The 1st, 3rd and 5th Ancient Iron Dragon Hunter Set, the 2nd, 4th and 6th Ring Seal Knight Set, and the Sunday Salary King Incarnation, it makes me happy just thinking about it.

Moreover, after adding different other materials, the armor will also have effects and specific resistances, and can be used in different places.

The next step is to bring Grandpa Iggy to the Shadow Land so we can start forging.

When we go back, we have to take Schiff with us, and maybe Celine Shanks will come with us too.

Thinking about having to bring a lot of people to the Shadow Land again, Bai Shi couldn't help but find it a little funny.

This place was obviously sealed in order to hide the truth and bury secrets, but now people can enter and exit freely, which somewhat destroys the original worldview of the Shadow Land.
-
After confirming the preservation condition of the ancient iron meteorite, Bai Shi could actually leave.

But still in line with the fine tradition of 'since I'm already here', Bai Shi decided to go around the whole circle and see if there is anything else he can grab.

Anyway, after the identity is verified, other lives in the forging ruins will no longer actively attack.

Bai Shi continued to travel through the ruins unimpeded.

Finally, Bai Shi arrived at the most core area of the forging ruins - the forging altar.

In the fire of the altar, a huge black sword was constantly being roasted.

The name of this giant sword quickly appeared in Bai Shi's eyes:
'Ancient Iron Meteorite Greatsword'.

Looking at this heavy, huge, and extremely rough sword, Bai Shi swallowed his saliva and was immediately attracted.

Yes, Bai Shi remembered that he has always been the Giant Swordsman!
Bai Shi saw that there was no special "unfinished" mark on this weapon, so he confirmed that it was a completed weapon that could be used.

Bai Shi boldly took it out from the altar and held it in front of him to admire it carefully.

With its solid and reliable thickness and weight, and reassuring blade length, it is known to be the best among greatswords.

Plus the most important thing - its wild and domineering appearance, Bai Shi has become obsessed with it.

But one thing that puzzled Bai Shi was why the shape of this giant sword was so strange?
The huge sword body with sharp triangle shape, the irregular blade with sawtooth shape, and the strange heavy center of gravity...

Although it was precisely because of this domineering shape that Bai Shi fell in love with it at first sight, a normal giant sword would not be designed like this.

It is quite primitive and rough, just like picking up a piece of meteorite with a suitable shape and using it directly.

The only sword with a similar design to it is the Relic Greatsword, which is also an alien giant sword with the same strange shape.

Bai Shi picked up the ancient iron meteorite sword and tried to infuse magic power into it.

As magic power was injected into it, a dazzling white light lit up from the cracked meteorite sword.

The white light in turn enveloped Bai Shi's entire body, promoting his actions.

Bai Shi only felt his whole body lighten, and he rushed forward swiftly with the huge sword, as if he had turned into an arrow.

At the end of the charge, an even more violent white light burst out from the sword, and the light of destruction enveloped the surrounding space.

After unleashing the Ancient Iron Meteorite Greatsword's combat skills once, Bai Shi also understood the situation of this weapon.

This is undoubtedly an excellent greatsword.

Bai Shi felt that it was easier to use than the Star-Breaking Sword.

The level of enhancement is not low either, it has been enhanced to +8, and is not far from being a god-killing weapon.

And the most important thing is that this weapon is designed completely in accordance with Bai Shi’s aesthetic.

　Ancient Iron Meteorite Greatsword, my favorite weapon in the Shadow Land, it is quite powerful and will be cool forever.
