Blacksmith vs. the System

Chapter 42

As I walked through the third floor of the dungeon, I felt even more enthusiastic. I wasn't able to see Eleanor in the morning, but thankfully, she hadn't forgotten to drop the maps of the first three floors.She even marked the doors to the fourth floor — with a note warning me to stay away for my safety — which meant I didn't need to

Now that I wasn't trying to ration the mana I was able to use, the skill started to rise rapidly once again.

When it was past midday, I was looking for a beautiful new text.

[Mana Forge (Rare) 99 - 100 ]

[Perk Options — Modify / Masterwork / Rapid Forging / Mana Control (Mana Manipulation) / Durable]

If there was a further variant of Creative Forging, it would have been a tough choice. Without it, Mana Control was the clear option. Maybe, with that, I might break the limit on my sword skills.

However, as much as I wanted to try that, improving Repair was more important. So, I forged the strongest, most mana-dense silver dagger I could manage before systematically destroying and repairing it until the skill reached its limit.

I didn't even have to think before I chose to improve Advanced Inspect, as it was still my single most important Perk.

[Mana Repair (Rare) - 104 [Observe]

Mana Forge (Rare) - 102 [Creative Forging, Mana Control]]

"Beautiful," I celebrated, ignoring the temptation to tinker with them even more. With the materials in hand, I had already reached the limit. For the next stage, I needed gold, probably in bulk, and likely even more mana than I could get from the broken shells of giant monsters.

So, as much as I wanted to play with them more, I decided that it was time to fight some more.

However, not before I completely reforged everything.
