Shortly after the system showed the knife information, Alex leveled up and thus unlocking a profession skill.
[You've got the skill - Blacksmith's Eyes]
The ability allows the user to observe large sources of light without hurting the eyes during certain periods of time in exchange for mana.
It allows to observe the imperfections within the creations of the user or merchandise that is within reach of his sight.
[//////]
Alex looked forward to the new skill and as with other skills he has achieved, Alex understood how to activate it, he quickly controlled his mana towards his eyes through a path of his body.
The world continued to look the same for Alex, but when his eyes fell on his knife, he could see the imperfections in this, imperfections that were difficult for him to observe even when he was almost hawk vision.
The knife is not completely straight, there are parts where it bends more to one side than the other, the technique he used to polish the knife was not adequate since he sharpen the knife in places where it should not, details that Alex didn't know would notice unless he had the experience as a blacksmith or without the skill.
"Well... it isn't perfection, but the system already classifies it better than its peers, but for some reason it is elite classification~nya" Alex held the knife while injecting mana into it and with his other hand, hit a tree that was near him.
The tree shook from the impact of Alex's blow, the leaves of the tree moved from side to side, thus causing a few some leaves of the size of a tennis ball to the ground, falling rocking with the air.
Alex looked at the pile of leaves but only concentrated on those that were close to him, when they were in front of him, he made two cuts to the leaves, only three leaves were divided in half by the first cut, these three leaves showed symptoms of burns where they were cut, at the second cut, this time he did not cut anything with his knife, but the leaves were equally divided, but not only were two or three, but all the leaves that were near the knife were cut.
"Amazing ~nya" Alex opened his mouth a little while appreciating the divided leaves that fall to the ground.
<I wonder what materials I can cut with this ability> He observed the knife he holds with his hand and then stored it in his inventory.
Alex walked back to where he had all his blacksmithing equipment as he began to plan the materials he would use for his spear, a weapon with which he already has a favorable ability and willingness to use, although he also likes swords, Alex feels that a spear is better and that is why he used his dark blades as versatile spears, which led him to unlock a mastery.
<Flamium is not suitable for making my spear when I already have the element of fire... maybe I will use iron, a little bit of Irocle and... my claws> Alex watched his hands as his body trembled a little when he thought about how he will break his claws.
Alex transformed into his beast form only to smash his claws against an Irocle ore, the roars of pain could be heard throughout the jungle, but for the other beasts, it was only heard like the roar of a powerful beast that prepares to hunt.
He only managed to get 4 claws before the pain set him back to get another broken claw, Alex bleeds a little, but he quickly healed with his mana, but his claws did not grow again instantly.
He would have to wait half a week to fully recover. Alex quickly returned to his semi-human form to continue manufacturing his spear.
The procedure was a little different, since Alex had to create a mixture of the three materials, Alex reinforced the forge to support his heat while he raised the temperature to melt his claws and the Irocle that apparently occupied higher temperatures when the Irocle is simply the magical counterpart of the Iron, but for some reason, it uses a little more temperature to make it liquid.
Alex did all that even when he did not recover from losing his claws, something that also affected his semi-human form. But Alex sent his worry about his claws to the bottom of his mind to just concentrate on creating the ingots of this mixture.
Two days elapsed in which Alex created the ingots [Feirocle], Alex named it like that, since he is a feline and he is using iron and Irocle, when taking parts of those three words he created this name for the mixture that he made.
The ingots turned a dark blue metallic color with small blue veins of the Irocle that came out quite a bit in the dark blue.
It was 5 days after that, in which Alex dedicated himself completely to the creation of his spear and in the free spaces he achieved, he improved the aesthetics of his bracelets and also how comfortable they are.
When he finally finished his spear, he had a double-edged sword-shaped head with an ax-type base, also double-edged, and on the opposite side he has another small double-edged blade, all the sharp parts were straight or half curves, without much curvatures or decorative deformations since Alex lacks that kind of ability, but he has enough to make it have simple shapes.
Making the Feirocle take shape, required a lot of strength from Alex, but in the end, he achieved his goal of creating his spear and when he finally finished it, he quickly put all his blacksmith equipment in his box and then in his inventory, Only Alex and his spear, apart from Caos.
[\\\\[Spear]\\\\]
Category: C+
Capacity: S-
Effects: +25% Acuity and Penetration +35% Durability +5% Magic Control
Skills: [Sharpness] [Double Impact]
[Created by: Amateur Blacksmith]
Information: The classification is a lower range than it should be and that happens because of the blacksmith's inability to be able to guide the veins of the Irocle to form an adequate magic circuit, although the weapon is made of very good materials, the method that was used to do it was not adequate, which spoiled the spear at the end.
[//////////]
Alex squeezed the spear tightly in his hand, as he read the information of his spear that the system gave him shortly after Alex turned to look away.
Alex looked at the objectives with which he would test his spear.
Suddenly Alex's body began to transform when he decided to test his weapon, instead of growing more, Alex's body became smaller even when he transformed into his teenage form, but that's because Alex's appearance is more based in his small feline form, as a semi-human he was already very tall for his size of 1.63 meters, but now he became a little smaller when measuring 1.53 meters high, Alex's body was filled with black fur and his face before human became that of a beast and it was more difficult to determine its expressions for a human.
The leather clothes had already been stored, leaving Alex... naked?
"I don't know if I'm naked, but I have hair all over my body, so I'm not ~nya" Alex suffered the same doubt when he transformed, but quickly ignored it.
"My mouth feels better with this aspect ... I missed my fangs ~nya" Alex appreciated his fangs that made him feel more comfortable and safe, he played a little with them with his index finger.
Shortly after Alex began to make different types of movements such as placing himself on all fours, stretching his body, seeing his claws.
"Who would say that I feel so much better in this way ~ nya!" Alex looked at his hairy hands for several seconds.
"I need gloves ... or I won't be able to hold my spear well ~nya" He said as he pulled out a piece of black leather and began to visualize how to make his gloves.
~20 minutes passed in which Alex made some leather gloves without fingers, because if it had fingers, it would be a hindrance to him.
Alex firmly squeezed the spear in his hand and managed to feel how it was easier to hold the spear, once he felt comfortable with the grip of his spear, he turned to the horizon, where he could see several lines of Smoke coming out of the jungle.
*Woosh ~!* Alex moved to the location of the campfires, but when he moved, he moved faster than normal because of the increase he receives from being in this form.
Thanks to improving his vision with mutation points, Alex doesn't suffer the tunnel vision effect and can perceive his surroundings very well.
Alex moved swiftly around the place, he was quickly approaching the location of the fires, where once he got close enough, he could see a great wall of logs with mud and sticks with a vine with thorns.
In the fort, there were large doors that impede the passage, but when Alex arrived in front of them, he did not cut them.
Alex showed a smile on his cat face over his small desire to fight that formed over the time he has lived in the dungeon.
"Soft fist!" Alex shouted the name of the attack he made, but his palm did not knock on the door when he shouted the name of his attack.
*Puuum!* But a claw of a beast circled Alex's arm and made the same attack as him, the blow left the mark of the paw pads on the doors, which were shattered shortly after receiving the impact.
