Master Of None

Chapter 2376: 2376. Perfect For Su

Keeping his mana completely sealed and from at all influencing the materials, Su, or the wandering blacksmith was taking its toll. Walker had never imagined that he would randomly be put under this much mental stress.

He was so used to letting his mana spread out to use high mana sense that this was second nature to him. Every second of the day, Walker had mana sense working and keeping track of things all around him and even far away from him.

This stark difference would have made it hard on anyone. Like asking them to suddenly use their non dominant hand. That would make things a lot harder. But for Walker, it was like asking him to temporarily cut off a limb entirely. He was so used to having his mana senses running and sending pout mana to examine everything, even with the all round appraisal, he was used to it.

But having this sudden change was refining his mentality again. Allowing him to look within himself rather than outside.

This was how he had mediated in the first palace. Focusing on his own mana and how it flowed. How it could influence the outside world and the manas always surrounding him. But returning to the basics and only focusing on his mana while he let his body follow the slight orders from the wandering blacksmith?

That was a different form of meditation. The focus was different since it was almost entirely separating his mind and inside mana from the outside world and what his physical body was doing. He had not done this form of meditation while he had grown. While he had the similar sense of meditation while he worked on paperwork or while he trained his physical skills, that was a different form.

All of this could and would change the fact that he was able to make the best of his skills. Right now, he was helping make the best of the item prediction he had walked in on.

The wandering blacksmith was not wielding any larger hammers. He was delicate. The pieces he put together were fused in to the one larger material he had been working on slowly but surely. Each piece had a release of mana which was sent through the area. Something that Walker worried about since it was a little more dangerous than it should be. Yet, he also could feel an aura of strength.

He also saw that Su was reacting to each piece being added. This was deeper than just someone giving every drop of mana that their body generated in to a flame. It should have been very hard to do that for someone like Su who focused on physical skills and the physical side of battle.

Since Su had spent all this time being trained in physical combat, she was not as experienced when it came to controlling mana. Even her training to do so was more of a blunt art than one of delicacy. Therefore, Walker had wondered if she would be safe while this entire process happened. Especially since there needed to be a delicate action every few moments.

That was when he realized that the wandering blacksmith was so careful because he had taken that in to account. Some of the pieces of metal or the bursts of mana caused damage to the tools or to Su. This was also pulling away a little mana that her body generated and attached her more to that specific piece.

The wandering blacksmith hand made all these pieces and been pulling them to slowly assemble and fuse them together because as he did so, he united the mana she added to them again. He also united the rune carvings he was doing. All while heated and still somewhat warped by the space mana within the flames they were using.

That was when Walker sensed that he was also different. The wandering blacksmith had changed his methods to match the things Su needed to perfectly bond to this creation. The same way that Walker had controlled and directed large amounts of mana to properly bond himself to the eternal codex as his lifetime item. Su was having the same done.

Walker was not able to influence a single thing here if he wanted. He was moving pieces of metal because he had some resistance to it and could resist the manas pulsing out.  He just moved the pieces. His body was just moving the pieces.

It allowed him to release the final metal barrier and understand that his inner mana flow was larger. Much larger.

The flow was faster and every mana he had encountered was attached. Especially the more unique manas he had recently touched on. He had taken them in and grown. As an origin race member, he had done so without thinking.

This proved he had grown so much in level because he had just absorbed manas, it was the types of manas and his growth in understanding. That was what had altered how he grew. He also finally grasped one of the key differences of what he was now as a race.

The origin race had an inner vastness for mana and all things that made up the world which humans and other races did not have.

When it came to Su, her focus on the material also changed things. Her strength had suddenly spiked. The pulse of mana from her as Walker handed over the last piece of metal shocked him. He maintained his focus on keeping his mana sealed up though. This was a major part of the process.

The wandering blacksmith started carving and tapping intensely. His focus only grew the lore that he looked at his work. He also pointed at Walker to bring Su over. Her mind was too weak right now to perfectly control all her motor functions. A fair failure since she had been at this for hours using everything she had.

Every single bit of mana and physical resistance had been used. Now, her hand was being placed in the still somewhat hot new material.

ʼMedallion of inner protection- (bound)

This medallion was forged using every ounce of mana from the true draconic guardian Su. No other has the ability or the strength to wield it. The chaotic mana that could be released due to failure in balancing it could cause severe damage.

This medallion immensely boosts resistances to all manas and physical aspects of the wielder including their armor as well.

Due to the addition of space mana through the entirety of the process in forging, carving, and bonding, this medallion can store items in a large inner space. They are protected from all outside forces and can only be accessed by Su.

When armor, shields, and other defensive items are stored within it allows Su to use the unique skill, magic equip.

This allows Su to equip any armor stored within the medallion of inner protection immediately. It also stores the current armor without loss. An instantaneous switch to utilize the best defensive equipment that is needed for the situation. There is very little mana cost to using this skill due to the stored mana always being absorbed by the medallion of inner protection.ʼ

It was spectacular. The intricate patterns of runes and circling mana gems matches the elemental affinities that each resistance protected against. These elemental runes gave form to a harder to comprehend spatial rune which might have just taken space rune research to a whole new level.

The effects were astounding. The magical equip skill would allow Su the best protection no matter what. And the fact that all she had to do was wear it was even better.

Then adding the fact that there was a spatial storage at all? Perfect. Thatʼs what this was. It was perfect for Su and her needs. Not just now but forever.

Walker leaped forward and caught Su. The pressure had been the last thing keeping her standing. But she had done everything with flying colors. Her goal was achieved and she had a new bound item just like he did.

”Very nicely done. She deserves everything that has to offer. My second true work of art.” The soft words of the wandering blacksmith as his head elevated in his hand and he fell asleep was exactly right.

His pride and care in his work took him and those around him to new levels. As much as the wandering blacksmith may attribute his success to others and their work in a gathering materials or assisting, he did much more over his lifespan to deserve all the praise.

”Both of you can rest well. I will be here to keep an eye on you.” Walker pulled out some camping items and cleaned the area.  Itʼs not the best bedroom but a great place for them to rest. To recover j til they can both get home to a Proper bed and sleep for what could be a few days. Just enough time for them to be present in the floating ship.
