Chapter 57 57 Upgrades
[OP: ]
-Ting-tading-ting~!
-Ting-ting.
-Tung!
Standing before an open area in the same graveyard cave, El was standing with her eyes closed and a strange stone table thingy in front of her covered in unique patterns that glowed with a blue light.
-Oooooooooong!
This table-like thing was the synthesizer bench, something similar to the golden roulette but, not on that great level or that rarity.
One would have to get lucky or be extremely rich to purchase even one scroll of the golden roulette but the synthesizer was something probably anyone can use at a cheaper price.
And it was just one of the basic functions of the Worldline administered by the 135th offspring, the one that observed all the functions related to Alchemy in the Worldline.
The functioning of the synthesizer was, well, to follow the commands it was given and produce the synthesis results based on those instructions, materials, and formulas.
It actually wasn't any complex process most of the time as most people would just put their stuff on it and tell it to do the deed on its own.
There is little awareness regarding the correct usage and techniques of harnessing the power of this function. Even some of the gods and older beings themselves must be unfamiliar with the process El is currently engaged in.
-Ta-ting~!
Numerous magic circles, each with its distinct shape, color, and purpose, adorned the area around her while some of these circles contained the materials necessary for the synthesis process at their center.
Her intense focus was evident and she was in the <Dive> as she meticulously orchestrated the interconnected spells, forming a magnificent and awe-inspiring giant magic circle.
<Nyaaaa… this is my first time seeing something like this.>
It obviously was surprising for Raz just like it was for all those bastards chilling in their houses and watching them with snacks right now.
What she was doing was absurd in itself but, from what some of them understood, what she was doing was nothing less than revolutionary.
-Ting!
She had created tens, maybe hundreds of spells right now and was maintaining them like it was nothing, she was powering them and distributing her Mana to every single one of them so perfectly that it was all actually able to materialize at the same time.
She had created a complex spell structure with multiple cores and multiple sub-systems that worked independently and harmonized with the one it was connected with so well that they had all become one.
The materials that were in the center of these spells were materials to be used in the synthesis, but instead of being the cores that powered these spells, they were only there as a component independent from them but still connected via a few thin threads of her unique Mana.
What she was doing right now, was finishing the true structure that should be used during the synthesis process which would produce the best result that might even sometimes go beyond their own expectations.
However, it wasn't an easy process.
The reason Raz and the spectators were so shocked by this wasn't that she was doing something that none of them thought was possible, but because what she was doing should actually be impossible even for many of those holding the title of a god or archangels or the demon lords.
<She's amazing, nya~!>
The fine distribution of Mana to all these different spells aside, the way she even constructed each of these complex spells, and intertwined those already complex spells to create an entirely different complex structure was beyond their wildest imaginations.
And, the most unique thing about all this was how she was going to use spells, the mathematical representations of Mana that gives birth to different phenomenons, in one of the most basic and simple processes called synthesis.
It was unconventional but many had tried to integrate this kind of method in the synthesis and other different features of the Worldline, but none had succeeded still.
The reason mages chose skills over spells was mostly because of how great strain it put on the mental body and how much mental calculation it required just to cast a simple fireball spell.
So, if something theoretically so simple was practically so difficult, it was considered foolish to go through all that process just for a simple thing like that, one could not even begin to fathom how much difficult it was to create a complex spell of her level individually, let alone multiple of them, and combine them all into a singular entity which's function… was the synthesis process that people thought entirely depended on luck.
And—and, and! She had chosen materials that though had no relation to one another, when these thirty to forty materials were combined as one through that specific kind of reaction, with that specific ratio and in that specific order, the results of such amalgamation… was undoubtedly going to produce something beyond the simple luck, or even the known probability.
"Get ready, Eva."
And all this process was only for Eva's Winnade. Their red weapon's turn would come after this.
"Haaa… ok."
Eva was smiling happily.
This sword had been her partner for the last few years but now, it was time for it to get stronger.
It would still be the same sword, but more powerful, and even more useful.
She had a unique connection with this weapon and she really didn't want to part ways with it. But, she knew, right now wasn't a goodbye. If anything, this would be a new welcome to her upgraded weapon.
So, she nodded at El and after nodding back at her, El looked back at the synthesis table with the attractive green blade placed on it.
"Alright then~!"
Her preparations were complete so she activated the synthesizer with a little more of her Mana and connected the entire spell that took her not just these past few minutes, but the last few months, probably years to complete...
But, this was the moment of the truth.
-Snap!
She connected the spell with the synthesizer, the two main materials in which being Eva's blank slime membrane, and a unique substance that El perfected after many trials and errors.
[Starting synthesis.]
-Oooooooooong…!
They all watched as a bright blue light shot out from the synthesis table and lifted up the sword with it.
The tens and hundreds of spells and materials that were spread all around her moved and settled down all around the blue light of the synthesizer.
There was an excited smirk on El's face, a hopeful expression on Lucy's, admiration on Raz, and helplessness on Eva's. And, their new slave (comrade) troll hero couldn't even understand what was going on, so he was in a daze.
The spells, circling around the blue pillar of light encasing a sword, were divided into three parts when looking from above.
The blue pillar of light was the center, the innermost part were the basic materials needed for strengthening and refinement of Winnade, then the spells that would guide the synthesizer in this process, and behind the spells were an uneven, transparent slime membrane and a solid crystalline blue substance with winds around it.
-Swiiiiish!
All these elements were slowly circling around the sword inside a pillar, like electrons around the nucleus, and, after a moment when everything was aligned with the sword perfectly, rays of light shot out of the pillar at once and pierced right through the materials and the spells behind them...!
-Oooooooooong!
Then, these lights started painting the colorful spells into the same colors as them, later absorbing them like someone drinking something with a straw.
-Zaaaaaaaaa…
At the same time, the two main materials behind the spells started glowing with the same light as the pillar, and… when the light had painted everything blue, and sucked it all inside the pillar, the materials on the inner side and spells went into the pillar of light first and only when they all had vanished, did the last two enter the process…
-Ooooooooooooong…!
A light brighter than ever before then exploded from this pillar of light and almost blinded Eva and the troll hero.
But it obviously wasn't strong enough to blind the other three.
They only had a smile, a smirk, and an absurd surprise on their pretty faces as they looked at the pillar of light slowly vanishing and leaving behind a sword that looked nothing like it did when it swallowed it.
This new sword, the thinner, forest green blade with unique designs that held greater Mana and a blue gem on the end of the handle glimmered with greater energy than ever before.
The blade that previously looked pretty good was now far more attractive, and, the process that had made it this way, the method that has never been successfully used in this Worldline, was not something that could go unnoticed by the central brain.
[Ding!]
[Synthasis complete.]
[Congratulations! The <E> rank artifact Winnade has been successfully synthesized.]
[You have obtained <C> ranked artifact, Wind's grace. The enhancement completion ratio is 102%. The core and material properties now resonate with each other.]
[…!]
[< Worldline has detected multiple achievements in the actions of ID: Auriel. >]
[< Worldline has found a successful perfect use of the feature <Synthasizer>. >]
[< Worldline has found a completion rate surpassing the base value. >]
[< Calculating data… >]
<Nyaaaaa…! How is this even possible?!>
Raz was surprised… shocked would be a better word as he practically jumped from Lucy's arms as soon as the process was complete and ran directly towards the new blade.
It sure was surprising to see an artifact upgrading a rank during the synthesis process and not just gain new stat and innate skills but it was his first time seeing an artifact skipping a rank entirely and gaining not just new abilities and stat values but also awaken an [Ego]...!
"Wow… that's actually gooooood."
Even El was surprised when she checked the information about the new Winnade, and when she shared it with her good 'brother' and Eva, both of their eyes widened with surprise.
The blade that only had the skill to boost people's speed was now a [Ego] weapon with elemental conduction properties and not one or two, but four inherent skills…
