The black, superheated ingot began to transform rapidly, stretching and morphing with every strike of the hammer. Shaping red-hot metal using only a hammer was no small feat, especially with one of the most challenging metals to work with like Helixium was.0

With each strike, the internal grain of the material shifted, gradually settling into the form of a natural magic circle. 0

Weapons forged from Helixium became lighter the more simple and streamlined their design was.0

Clang! Clang!0

Davey continued hammering, aware that even a single mistake would result in failure. He worked the grain, altering the insides of the ingot. The magic circle took on a natural form of beauty, but each individual layer of the circle held little power on its own. He crafted a design where the full effect could only be realized when all the layers came together.0

Davey couldn't infuse the sword with a deeply resonating soul like Surtr would. Instead, he chose to use his own method for infusing souls.0

“Wow…” Evangeline gasped softly.0

Despite his resistance to heat, he could feel the sweltering air enveloping his body. 0

As he continued to hammer away, shirtless in the boiling heat, he remembered the grueling tasks Surtr had once given him and the time he had forged Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon with Perserque. 0

Those were supremely difficult, yet this task demanded an even greater level of concentration.0

Clang! Cl...0
