Chereads / Close Combat Summoner: The Way Of The Unrivaled / Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: First Meet

Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: First Meet

A creaking sound can be heard when Argus opens the door. Only darkness can only be seen inside since there is not a single source of light. With Argus's eyes this did not matter, he walks inside to try to find the owner.

As he walks deeper, Argus notice the different kind of Weapons and Armors hanging on the walls. He is no expert in this regard however he knows that Weapons and Armors are divided in to 4 types:

1. Mortal Armaments:

Do not have anything special to them. It is commonly used by mortal class awakeners.

2. Mana Armaments:

Are Weapons and Armors that is the most commonly used by Awakeners. Mana Armaments release Mana to attract an Awakeners to use them.The higher the rank of the Armament the denser and higher quality Mana it will emit. The lower your rank the higher it can to suppress you. As long as your rank is the same as the Armaments rank, an Awakener can easily wield this weapon.

Mana Armaments are commonly drop by monsters. It can also be forged by Blacksmiths.

3. Spiritual Armaments:

Weapons that possessed a spirit. The spirits intelligence is about 2-3 years old. Spiritual Armaments can be on par with a one Higher Realm Mana Weapons.

Spiritual Armaments can be forged. However there are two conditions to fulfill before you can forge one. You need to be a Blacksmith and have a mastery of Enchantment. Of course even if you possess both this condition, it will not be easy to forge one. Only those who have really passion in forging and enchanting can they forged one. They also need to learn and gain so many experience.

Spiritual Armaments can be said to be the pinacle armament that a Blacksmith can forged.

4. Artifacts/ God's Armament

Artifacts or God's Armament are things that said to be originated from the higher world other than Vesmir. It is said to be weapons forged by gods. This things cannot be forge but many blacksmith theorized that if they have enough power and materials they can forge an Artifact.

There was a famous blacksmith at the past that almost built a God's Armament but he died due to him lacking in strength. The Artifact he forged was also destroyed along with him.

4. Universal Armaments:

The most mysterious type of Armament that exist. Universal Armament is an Armament that naturally formed by the universe. Peak Blacksmiths tried to discover its secret and tried to forged this type of weapons but no one succeeded even in ancient times.

Universal Armaments possess a soul. The Armament itself is a living being. Every Universal Armament is like a Unique Beasts, and they are also Unique on their own. You cannot subdue a Universal Armament just by using force.

If you use forced to subdue it they will self destruct. The spirit will transform into different types of living beings, like beast and very rare case a humanoid. Using their form, they can move freely like a normal being. Universal Armament choose to wait for the person they want they can even find the wielder they want because they can move unlike the other type of armaments. No matter how long it will take for them to find one.

If a Universal Armament acknowledge finds its wielder they will sign a life and death contract immediately. The Universal Armament can grow infinitely strong. You can call them like a Growth weapon.

Yes, a Growth Weapon since they can increase their rank and even gain new skills because they can also level up.

Argus also knows that each type of Armaments are divided into 4 ranks: Initial Rank, Average Rank, Peak Rank, Apex. He didn't know if there are higher around than Apex.

Argus came to conclude that all of this weapons are Spiritual Weapons as for their rank he did not know. The more Argus walks the more his emotions inside disturbed. There are many weapons and armors inside. He was shocked that a person with a armory like this just lives in a rundown infrastructure. If all these weapons are sold the owner will instantly became a Billionaire.

'Another Eccentric person, huh. Really are all the talented people eccentric?'(Argus)

Clang

Suddenly Argus heard a rhythmic hammering not far from him. He approach where the sound is coming from and he saw a stairs leading down. Argus decided to go down since that maybe the blacksmith Rex was talking about.

Clang

Clang

Clang

Clang

The clanging sound became louder and louder as he goes down. The temperature is also slowly increasing. After 3 minutes of walking, Argus saw a redish light emitting below. He is now drenched in sweat from the heat, without Mana to protect his body from the heat.

He endured it though since Argus wants to meet the blacksmith here. Argus then descended. He reached the bottom at know time and he decided to enter the forging room. Argus wants to see inside but his intuition told him not to. He still decided to go so he walk inside.

Argus felt a thin barrier in the entrance but it did not stop him from entering. His intuition suddenly rings sharply. The temperature suddenly increase tremendously, Argus was not prepared and he felt his body started burning.

"Sssss!!"(Argus)

Argus immediately jump back to the entrance. Fortunately his reactions are fast or else he will be burned alive. His skin started turning red but he did not suffer much injuries only mild burns.

'That was close. Sigh... I should trust my intuition from now on.'(Argus)

Argus learned his lesson. After drinking a F Grade potion, his skin started to turn back to normal. A crazy though run on his mind but he shook his head.

Items are divided by rank like the adventures. From G-SSS Rank items.

'There is no healer here and I do not possess a higher rank potion. Looks like I need to find a healer type beast. But they are very rare. Well, time will tell.'(Argus)

Argus decided to wait for the blacksmith to finish at the top of the forging room.

Summon:Astrea

"Woof"

Argus summoned Astrea while waiting for the blacksmith. They both started eating their dinner since it is already past 8:00 PM. After eating, Astrea lay down again to sleep. Argus on the other hand was thinking about the increase of his Vitality Stats whenever his body receives severe injury.

Argus learned that Awakeners can increase their stats even if they are not using their Free Stats albeit it will be hard.

To increase Mana, of course you need to absorb the Mana from a source, it may be from the atmosphere or any treasure like Spiritual Fruits and Plants which is very hard to find. Each of these can cost a very high amount of VC if auctioned.

Absorbed the Mana then convert it on your own. Like a cultivator in a Chinese Manwhas. The Mana need to be gather into the core and slowly integrate it to your own Mana. This is a very slow process, if you are careless, the Mana will riot inside your core and it can destroy and blow you up like what happened to the Abyssal Servant.

For Strength and Vitality, you need to push your body to it's limit to increase the two stats. The Vitality stat will also increase if your body take a severe damage like what happened to him when they are fighting the Abyssal Servant. The Vitality Stats of all Awakeners are the easiest to increase since they are staking their life almost anytime.

'Thanks to my physique I don't need to add my free stat to VIT.(Argus)

{Blacksmith's POV}

While thinking of this Argus did not notice that the clanging sound stops. Looks like the blacksmith below finished what he was doing and he started to climb up. Not long after the blacksmith saw an invited guest on his house.

He was not surprised since he already notice him when he just entered his house. The blacksmith even knows that this young man in front of him tried to enter his forging room when he was at the most critical momen tof his forging.

The tremendous high temperature that Argus felt when he entered was him being at the critical moment. If he was a normal blacksmith, if some intruder suddenly disturbed him at the critical moment he might fail in forging and might scrap the materials but he succeeded. However he was still angry that someone just entered his private property so he immediately goes up to look on who has guts.

Now looking at the young man in front of him, the blacksmith notice a white furry thing on the young man's lap. With his years or experience he immediately knows that it is a Unique Beast which greatly shocked him. Looking again in the young man who seems to be thinking something deeply.

'He does not look like a son of those annoying families. I cannot believe he contracted a Unique Beast in that age. However this brat just enters my home without my permission. I will teach this brat a lesson.'
