Chapter 614 Fixing Magic Weapons

Abel quickly turned around to see if anyone was watching him . Then, after he decided that it was safe, he took out the 700 pound giant hammer Master Morry gave him from his portal bracelet . His best tool was the dark golden Horadric Malus, but he had been keeping that in the dark world .

After he got his tools ready, he began to take out the first weapon that he had to fix . It was the magic knight’s lance . After he took it out from his portal bag, he checked the spot that had been scraped off . Countless data started popping up inside his head . The world stone fragment was helping him come up with multiple ways of repairing this weapon .

After he picked the most ideal plan, he decided to throw the lance inside the furnace first . If it was about fixing magic weapons, the most important thing to consider was the strength of the heat . He couldn’t heat the lance for too long, because that was going to destroy the energy protection device that was installed on the rune .

He had to be careful and precise . One bad move and the rune pattern would be in a worse state than before . That was not really an issue for him, though . In his eyes, the change in temperature happened very slowly . Before the lance was about to glow in red, he was fast enough to take it out of the furnace .

Then, he began to hit the lance with his massive hammer . He was hitting where the missing chunk was supposed to be . Because of how perfect the angle of his hit was, he was able to seal the opening with just one strike . Even the rune lines that were separated were reconnected because of this .

A smile appeared on Abel’s face . To his knowledge, he was the only one who could fix magic weapons like this . If he had made a mistake there, the repair procedure would’ve been a whole lot more complicated than before .

Instead of paying any attention to how hot the lance was, Abel grabbed onto it with one of his hands . He wasn’t going to dip it inside cold water because the weapon was not a newly-forged one . As far as he was concerned, the most important thing was to reactivate the rune that was once destroyed .

Under the guidance of his power of the Will, the energy that was inside the fire magic gemstone traveled towards the rune . Then, under a flash of red light, a light sound came out of the lance .

“It’s done,” Abel said softly .

Over at a room nearby, Master Bismuth was hammering a rough base by himself . He could hear the sound of the magic weapon that’s been repaired . As soft as the sound was, he was experienced enough to notice what it was .

Someone was fixing a magic weapon! Master Bismuth found that very shocking . Apart from himself, there was only one person who was capable of doing this, and that person was not at the blacksmith department right now .

With that in mind, he started looking around him . He didn’t see anyone special . There were some familiar wizards that were doing their practice . Other than that, it was just the regular blacksmiths that were doing their jobs .

Wait, no . There was also Abel . Master Bismuth was four furnaces away from him, but he knew right away . Abel was holding a magic weapon in his hand .

Abel was still observing the knight lance he repaired . Even upon a closer look, he couldn’t find any mark that indicated that the weapon was damaged before . It was probably because of his massive hammer . His hit was so powerful that it had affected not just the lance’s external part, but also its internal structure .

98%– that was the degree to which Abel could tell that the magic knight’s lance was repaired . Actually, even if the knight’s lance was never damaged, it would probably still hold 98% of its original power . Anyways, he wasn’t exactly a perfectionist . Now that he’s filled the quota, he was ready to move on to his next piece .

Next up was a magic knight’s big sword . The blade was split into halves, which, under normal circumstances, would mean that the thing was basically unusable . The ones who recovered it probably had no knowledge in forgery, so they just decided that they could leave inside the Miracle City warehouse .

There was something that Abel had missed . If he couldn’t fix a certain weapon, he was free to exchange for any ones that he felt that he could . If he could only fix swords, he could just pick 10 swords out of the warehouse . That was what most blacksmiths chose to do . They would only learn to fix a new weapon type if they were already confident with another one .

That was the tricky part of the job . Inside the warehouse, there were all sorts of weapons that were damaged to different degrees . Still, no matter what conditions they were in, the rewards were all the same for repairing them . This was why there were fewer people that were taking this job . By this point, almost all the weapons that were easy to fix were all finished . The ones that were still in the warehouse were all very hard to fix . Or, the ones who could fix them just weren’t that confident–w

Master Bismuth was watching him handle it . He shook his head as he saw Abel picking that piece . In fact, he was the one who had announced that it was impossible to fix that .

Meanwhile, Abel was starting to sense that someone was watching him . He didn’t mind too much, though . Even if the person could see the techniques he was using, it would be impossible for them to mimic him .

First up, Abel threw the two broken parts into the furnace . After he did, he started pumping more air into the furnace with his leg . He was also tying the rune lines back with his power of the Will . To decrease the temperature of the part where the rune was, he decided to inject chilling mana into the furnace . This way, he could prevent the rune from overheating .

As for the sword’s two broken parts, he had to make sure that the heat was enough to make them malleable . He was using both cold and heat at the same time . For most people, it’d be impossible to control the two at once, which was why Master Bismuth announced that it was impossible to fix this sword .

Speaking of which, Master Bismuth found it weird that Abel even bothered to try . Even if he could reconnect the broken sword, its durability and strength would’ve still been a lot worse than before . That would be the case even if the sword was not a magic weapon .

After Abel was done heating up the broken parts, he took them out of the furnace and reconnected them on an anvil . Then, by pressing down with his left, he raised his giant hammer with his right . Again, he took full advantage of his perfect precision . If it was someone else that was using the same amount of force as him (if they managed to possess the same strength as him), they would’ve destroyed the anvil instantly . He had very good control, however . By focusing just on the broken part, he managed to keep his power balanced .

Technically, what he did was not something that the blacksmiths taught him . It was a method that the knights used, and with the help of his world stone fragment, he was no longer limited to using specific techniques in certain situations . If he found something he could use, he could always think outside the box .

Clang .

Clang .

Clang .

After three hits, Abel held the knight’s big sword up with his hand . Master Bismuth was dumbfounded . With almost no effort at all, he guided the energy in the magic gemstone into where the rune was .

And that sound again–the sound of a magic weapon being reactivated . At the same time, Master Bismuth was walking very fast towards Abel .
