Volume 2 Chapter 26: The Making of an Useless Spear

(Walson)

"Miss Aure, the strength that is gained by relying on weapons is not your own, and should you lose your weapon, you would lose your strength too, so stand up, let's continue the training." Melon said, looking at Barella that fell to the ground.

"Uuuugghhh… What training did you do to end up that strong…." Barella turned over and lay on the ground, her big breast rising up and down as she panted in tiredness.

"I just practiced the training regime that Master sent persistently without stopping…..."

Right now, both Barella and Melon are on the second floor of [Dog House], where the two Spinning Iron Dummy piles are placed, this room can also be used as a training room.

In order to avoid causing extensive damage, I replaced all the walls with stone bricks.

However, even if it is made of stone bricks, it must be repaired frequently, because Melon's destructive power is too amazing.

If only I could get some [Obsidian], then I won't need to spend so much time changing the walls after each training season.

However, if I want to get an [Obsidian], the first thing that I need to do is to find where the lava is.

But it most likely won't be happening any soon, since game world and real world are different thing, in the game, you could just respawn when you died falling into the lava, while in the real world, I think I'm going to die for real, so I would postpone the lava search until I'm sure i can come back should i die.

"Damn, okay, I'm ready, let's start again." Barella stood up again and picked up [Apollo] at the same time.

Generally speaking, such extremely lethal weapons cannot be used in training.

However, her opponent is Melon.

So it can be used, it would be a steamroll otherwise.

"Please pay attention to the movement around you at all times, and even if someone is able to sneak on you, don't panic." Melon walked back ten meters away from Barella

The long distance should be beneficial to Barella....

"OO──[Wind Arrow]—" In conjunction with the chant of magic power, the magic of wind entangles the arrow on Apollo.

"Your chant is too slow." However, just as Barella finished her chant, Melon had already dashed right in front of her, the fast movement of Melon made the wall behind her crack.

This time, Barella was on guard, and she already wrapped wind magic around her feet beforehand, and when Melon suddenly appeared, she immediately backed away.

Pulling the hamstring of her bow, Barella was about to aim her arrow at Melon when the latter easily grasped the bow with her hand.

"The correct thing to do at this time is to give up your weapon immediately, or else you will be killed by me."

Melon twisted her arms, making Barella thrown down into the ground again.

"It's a good plan to retreat quickly when you realize i'm so close to you, unfortunately, you are not fast enough."

Actually, that's not the case, Barella is already moving quite fast in my opinion, it's just Melon who are much faster than Barella, which made her look slow in comparison.

"Haaaa… I've never seen someone move that fast before, I'll need to work on my speed next." Barellal didn't stand up again this time, just panting non-stop on the ground.

Well, let me explain to you the current situation.

[Autumn Harvest Festival], a festival event that the whole city celebrates.

Legend has it that long, long ago, the goddess of water redeemed the famine town and gave the town a lot of rice ears to survive the famine.

Later, in order to thank the goddess of water, the town held the [Autumn Harvest Festival] every year to worship the goddess of water.

Before and after this festival, the whole town is decorated with yellow and orange decorations, which really has the style of the autumn festival.

The Opening Ceremony is going to happen soon..

[Opening Ceremony], in which the Academy have their students compete with each other, and the winner can get the honor of lighting the [Autumn Festival Torch].

In fact, to put it simply, it is the kind of simulated battle that is very common in reincarnation novels.

However, it's not that simple. This game is usually not just about fighting, there will be many rules attached to it.

For example, last year's game was made so that the participants needed to do a marathon in the maze, but it was a marathon where the participants could attack each other and interfere with each other, and they also had to deal with the monsters that appeared at the same time.

Continuing with the analogy, the year before the last was a search for the fire of the autumn festival in the mountains, and the activities that the participants needed to do was not only to be fighting and competing with each other, but to also subjugate the monster that popped out.

—-How should I put it? It is kind of like the Olympic Games, but it is colored with fantasy magic style.

I am looking forward to it!

I have always lived in the remote rural area of Sadin Village, where no birds can lay eggs.

It is almost impossible to see any large-scale competitions happening in my hometown, and there is no way to see that kind of super cool magic competition.

For example, Harry Potter's Three Witches and the like, I really want to see it!

I have been in another world for fifteen years anyway!

I would be wasting my life away if I don't witness it!

And now, Barella and Melon are training with each other for the [Opening Ceremony].

—-No, from the look of how things are going, Barella is having a life and death battle, while Melon was just practicing her punch on a dummy.

But, there are only five days left? Would that be enough to increase their combat skills?

"Hey, do you want a drink?" I knocked on the glass window of the training room.

This glass window is in its fifties, and it has been broken many times.

I tried to add a little material to make it into strengthened glass, but [Apollo] arrow is able to go right through it casually.

Although I always use minecraft technology, I can take the white sand dug on the river bank and burn it in the [Furnace].

By the way, if glass is a decorative item, if it is produced in large quantities, and if it would not cause chaos in the world when it's spread. Maybe it can be a good source of income?

"Ah, I'm sorry to trouble you." Melon immediately ran over to fetch the tray for me, but I just put the tray on the table and put Melon's fruit tea in my hand.

"Whoa, what's for today?"

I put iced fruit sake in the hands of the excited-looking Barella

Weren't you paralyzed just now? You immediately bounced when I came over.

"Master's drinks are always so delicious."

"As expected of you, Walson, I want to marry you."

"... Don't say such things casually. "

Barella jokes have become more and more bottomless recently.

"Take your time, I will be in the studio."

When I turned to leave, I seemed to hear the sound of someone being punched by Melon.

I opened the studio door and noticed that Grace was inside.

Oh, by the way, my studio is very tidy, which is different from the one that is full of sawdust and shavings that many would imagine.

I organized it very comfortably, with a wooden floor and a small wooden table.

There's even a cot where you can take a nap if you're tired.

Plus, this house has heating and cooling too!

The structure and mechanism behind how all of this came to be is hard to describe, the design and the order in which redstone should be placed is something that only the master of master can understand.

The heating and cooling system is usually not used in the customer area on the first floor. This is an era-crossing technology, and it would be bad if it's introduced quickly to the ordinary people.

"...Walson, good afternoon." Grace, who was sitting on the tatami and reading a book, looked up and greeted me.

Grace, despite knowing the incoming event, is super calm, while the other two are busy with training.

"Good afternoon, Grace." I pulled a cushion and put it next to the [Crafting Table].

"...Walson, what are you going to do today?" Grace pointed at the dinner plate on the small table while speaking.

Oh, it's a sandwich.

"There's something I want to make. It's been a long time since I made something. My hands are a little itchy—Oh, it's delicious."

"Eh? You made it yourself?"

"... Just now, I bought the ingredients." Grace took out a bag from the [Pouch], which also contained the same sandwiches, "...made for everyone's, want to eat together. "

Grace likes to make these snacks, unlike me, I am a staple foodist.

"You're amazing."

"...En." Grace nodded and returned her attention to the book in her hand.

I went to the side to do some craft in front of the [Crafting Table].

Seeing Melon's fight recently, everyone felt that Melon's fighting power was very terrifying.

Whenever I try to imagine a scenario where Melon is my enemy— Well, the remain of what I would be is enough to have it placed in a Final Destination movie.

So, the item that i want to make today is something that is made specifically to counter Melon!

For the material, I want to choose [Ground Dragon's Orichalcum Steel Steel Nails]!

—Although I have to admit, it felt a little weird to use the things Melon brought back to make weapons to counter Melon.

As for the special reason why I chose to use this material to make the weapon, actually, there are none.

First of all, although the metal [Orichalcum Steel] is rare in this world, its value is not very high because this metal is too hard, and there is no sufficient technology advanced enough in this world to turn this material into something worth the effort.

Weapons made of such materials are likely to cause commotion if taken outside, so it is good to make something that is not easy to take out and just for fun.

I would like to add that the material that Melon brought back before, I took some of it to upgrade Melon's equipment and there are still a lot left.

There is a large piece of the Ground Dragon Crystal left, and the Ground Dragon Nilin is still half a square meter in size.

...Anyway, since [Orichalcum Steel] is going to be used to make Anti-Melon items, why not use these things to make legendary equipment.

While thinking this way, I took out three [Ground Dragon's Orichalcum Steel Nails] and synthesized them with [Mythril Powder].

[Mythril-Orichalcum Steel Concentrated Alloy Ingot]*5, GET!

Each Ground dragon nail is more than half a meter long, and the ingot will be condensed after it is synthesized.

Since Mythril is also mixed in, the conductivity of magic power is enhanced!

Since Melon is super strong in close combat, you would think that she would be weak against people who are fighting her in long distances.

Logically, that would be true.

But it's Melon, so that logic didn't apply.

Due to her insane speed, Melon is able to close her gap with most long distance opponents, she also has several other means to beat long distance fighters.

And so, with that in mind, I chose to make a weapon that would excel at medium range combat, which is a spear!

The next thing to use is [Millenium Fairy Wood Block], and [Mythril-Orichalcum Steel Concentrated Alloy Ingot] Synthesis!

—I don't know how to name the finished product anymore, it looks like a colorful object mixed with black, silver, and bright copper, and [Orichalcum Steel] is bright copper.

Can it still be considered an alloy after adding wood? —Whatever, I'm gonna just call it [Beautiful Alloy].

I arrange [Beautiful Alloy] diagonally and combine them once to get a long stick.

Let's put this aside.

Then, I disassembled [Ground Dragon Reversed Scale], took out some of the pieces, and put the rest away.

I synthesize [Ground Dragon Reversed Scale] and [Beautiful Alloy] again, and use [Ground Dragon Crystal] at the same time.

...What came out was something similar in appearance to [Beautiful Alloy], but with a layer of khaki aura wrapped around it.

—[Groundworm . Beautiful Alloy]*2!

Then I arranged [Beautiful Alloy. Beautiful Alloy] According to the formula that is used to make a normal sword in minecraft, and when it's done, I got a super cool looking sword that glows all sorts of color.

Hmmmm.. Let's call it [Beautiful Long Blade]...

After that, I placed [Beautiful Long Blade. Stick] into the crafting table.

A glowing spear popped out.

[Beautiful Spear], I'm going to call you that for now.

I already got the spear...but it's still far from complete.

Melon is a super soldier who fights at super close range. At the same time, she often has multiple smart tricks to let herself out of all sorts of difficult situations.

So, I took out some redstone, some rubber, and a [Magic Stone (Thunder)] given to me by the [Mart Chamber of Commerce].

[Magic Stone (Thunder)] is something that generates electricity after being injected with magic power.

Lightning attribute magic is a high-level variation of light attribute magic, and this kind of magic stone is very, very expensive.

It can be seen that the [Mart Chamber of Commerce] saw huge benefits in me, so it gave me this kind of thing.

—Next, there is the complicated mechanical manufacturing time, because it is too complicated, so I won't go into details.

Extending the timeline a little bit, let's jump straight to where I finished.

What I have made is a rubber grip that fits in the center of the spear!

There are two mechanisms installed on it, one of which will generate a strong electric shock after being injected with magic power, which is used to avoid having the spear being stolen by Melon in the middle of combat.

What if Melon has already entered the ultra-close range?

I can just inject magic power into another mechanism in another way, and the spear will shorten immediately and become a long blade!

Furthermore, i also added some enhancement into the spear, which is [Sharpness IV], [Fire Aspect I], and [Knockback I],

All of which are made to counter Melon, I named the spear [Anti-Melon Spear Prototype 1.0].

However, when I finished making it, I discovered one thing.

The spear is too heavy, I can't swing it at all, and moreover, I forgot one important thing.

Melon herself.

That lizard girl is the last person that would try to harm me in any way, so looking back, this spear is pretty much useless.
