Chapter 63

The reason why Ivo decided to go hunting is not only to get the materials for the weapon, he also wants to test several of his theories.

The fact is that if we are talking about a fantasy world and weapons, then the first thing that comes to mind is an enchanted weapon. Indeed, Ivo has already become acquainted with how the runes are arranged in this world, but in order for these runes to work, energy is needed, the source of which is the user of the weapon.

In the republic, Ivo did not see other ways of feeding the runes, except by attracting mana from the outside world or directly from the human body, but in the first case, there is little energy output, and in the second it is too expensive.

It didn't seem like a good idea to build Alutrite into a weapon either, as it takes a large chunk of Alutrite to draw in enough energy.

Another option would be to use Mana Crystals, but instead Ivo came up with something different.

During past hunts, as well as from the stories of other hunters, Ivo learned that in the bodies of strong creatures there is a core, which was usually simply thrown away.

This is due to the fact that even the shaman of the tribe did not know how to use this core, and after 1 day, this core dissolved by itself.

When Ivo was a child, he also became interested in this core. As it turned out, this is absolutely the same core as any energy user, be it mana or the energy of nature.

Only in the cores of beings, it was energy that Ivo and Shaman could not control. Energy such as thunderstorm, fire, water, etc.

But now Ivo has mana, a universal energy that can transform into any energy. Therefore, he wants to seal the core so that it does not dissolve, and then build it into the weapon. Thus, the core will constantly replenish its energy from the surrounding world, as well as store this energy.

On top of that, non-universal energy is stronger than mana, so enchantments on weapons with a certain effect should have stronger qualities.

[2nd year AR January 19]

Amshar mountain chain.

Several mountain peaks are covered with a thick layer of snow, somewhere you can see the traces of some animals who decided to wander in the fresh air. We can say that here is the true harmony of the world. But suddenly explosions were heard on one of the peaks.

* Boom * * Crack * * Boom * * Crack *

From a cloud of dust and mud, a tall, beautiful woman jumped out, with a serious, slightly stained face, in her hands she held a bone spear and a small round shield.

If you look closely, you can see that her body is covered with a thin layer of yellow energy.

Suddenly the girl loudly shouted, "Brother, this bird has several skills, be careful."

After these words, a large man flew out of the cloud, who at that moment was holding an iron sword in his hands, with several injuries on it.

The man nodded and replied, "This is a great material for my sword."

Yes, this is Ivo and Vesta, fighting the creature.

Ivo quickly looked at Vesta and said, "Do not weaken your mana, otherwise you will quickly turn to ash."

Vesta just grumbled and focused on the enemy.

Indeed, although Vesta did not want to learn magic, Ivo forced her and Cleo to learn the basics so that they could somehow defend themselves against magic. Indeed, without energy, any opponent for an experienced magician becomes an easy target, only his own energy can protect against someone else's magic.

Now Cleo and Vesta have become full-fledged mages and they can learn spells, but they only use mana as shields.

Unfortunately, his father is unlucky and has no talent for magic, but Ivo is not worried, because he is confident that he can find a way to create equipment that can withstand other people's energy.

Finally, the smoke cleared and a large blue bird appeared in front of these two, with beautiful feathers, along which flashes of lightning constantly run, one of the wings is pierced with a harpoon, which is stuck in the side, in the eyes of the bird you can see the growing rage.

Ivo did not hesitate, he ran towards the bird, preparing to strike with his sword. The bird, in anger, concentrated a layer of lightning around its entire wing, and then sharply struck in the direction of Ivo.

But Ivo was not taken aback, instead of blocking the blow, he jumped towards the bird, dodging the blow, and then with a crash fell right on the head of his enemy, making a hole in the bird's head with his sword.

Although the bird's brain was pierced and its head was nailed to the ground, the bird twitched for a while, but after a few seconds it completely calmed down.

[You killed the Ruthless Storm Phoenix +100 FP]

Vesta came up and puffed out her cheeks and said, "It was too fast, there is not even any interest in the battle."

Ivo chuckled and replied, "This bird will go to my weapon, you will hunt your animal yourself."

Vesta smiled broadly and her mood instantly rose. Ivo meanwhile sighed with regret * sighn * his sister turned into a fighting maniac.

Having stopped thinking about Vesta, Ivo took his sword out of the bird's head, and then turned it upside down to the sky and began to carefully cut the chest with a sharp knife.

After a couple of cuts, Ivo finally reached the Bird's core, inside which you can even see furious flashes of lightning.

As he pulled out the core, he felt the lightning energy begin to slowly drain from the core, so he quickly focused his mana on the core, trying to repair the cracks.

In fact, it turned out to be easier than he thought, and after 10 minutes, he had a core in his hands that began to absorb the lightning energy around him, filling its empty space. Unfortunately, this core can no longer be developed to a higher level.

Viewing this kernel through the system window, Ivo said "System, apply the same scoring system to Core as you would to mages."

[Transaction successful -10FP]

[Ruthless Storm Phoenix Core]

[Core Grade: 3]

[Energy Reserve 1421/2435 (Lightning)]

Yes, his experiment was a success and he really will be able to enchant weapons in this way, because the size of this core is similar to a ping pong ball

Ivo looked at Vesta and said, "Help me tie this bird up, and then we will go after your prey, by the way, this is not far from here."
