The mutant Gold Armored Sea Demon's trident moved with such agility and force that its blades flashed with an eerie gold light.
Wherever the gold light touched, the thick and hard crystal body of the Gold Crystal Horned Cow was easily sliced open.
It was certain that this was not the level of destructive power a trident should have.
The upper limit of hardness for a Mutated Crystal Base is merely 41, which is only a little harder than that of the Gold Crystal Horned Cow, but to say that one could leave deep gashes in the cow's hefty body as if cutting through wood was somewhat far-fetched.
It's like if you made a thick shield out of 5-chrome steel, which is less hard compared to 9-chrome or 10-chrome steels, and then crafted a knife out of the harder 9-chrome steel.
When using the knife to hack at the shield, it wouldn't just easily pierce through. If the blade were slightly thinner, it might even chip or break first.
