Omni-Mastery 212 Elemental Constitution

One such obstacle was not having an elemental conducting weapon…

Elemental conducting weapons were weapons that were crafted from various metals, even iron would work, but not normal iron of course.

Only elementally tempered metal, metal ores that have withstood an extreme effect of an elements, only such metal would be turned into an elemental conducting weapon at the hands of great blacksmiths.

The main issue with such weapons that finding naturally formed elementally tempered metal was close to impossible, especially for elements that don't have that much of a physical effect in nature such as Thunder, so they were mostly artificially produced.

The way of artificially producing them was pretty simple, one would have to use a special elemental art that would create an elemental seed out of his own elements and temper the ores with it.

But behind this simple principle, there was some complicated restrictions…

First, one could only perform such an art once in a lifetime and for a limited time only, which would barely allow one to temper the materials of one weapon at the very most.

Second, the blacksmith himself had to be the temperer of the materials, as no one could handle the material other than the one who tempered as he would still have enough connection with it to forge it, otherwise, it would be a useless scrap of metal in the hand of others, that was the major difference between artificially produced ones and those from a natural source…

Forgoing the difficulty of obtaining the art itself, finding a great smith (who is also an elemental master) who would use this once in a lifetime method for you would be naturally very hard, much harder than finding normal enchanters who also deal with elements.

While 'Lightning Cloud' could be considered a peak weapon as it already had the ability to endure the reinforcement of 'Elemental Armament', it wasn't to the degree of allowing the elements to flow within it and reinforce the weapon to the truest advantage of 'Elemental Armament'.

That's why I was in a hurry to enter the space system and be able to use the ticket I bought before, now that I was decided on what choices to pick, but with no clue to do so, I could only wait for a similar opportunity to today's.

[ 'Thunder Conductor Claymore' (Special***)

Description: A Claymore produced by a Thunder Smith who wanted to repay his benefactor, but as his benefactor was already dead by the time he finished it, the Claymore was left to rust.

* Item Ability - 'Thunder Conductance' ]

After seeing this weapon and obtaining the information through 'Eye of Knowledge', I knew that this was the best temporary solution that would allow me to perform more of 'Elemental Armament's prowess.

The only natural problem was that the Claymore was in a bad state, and restoring it without the help of the original smith would prove useless, but luckily that didn't mean I had a chance of gaining its benefits.

[ A Sword type weapon (Claymore) has been detected. ]

Removing the claymore from the bag, I finally received the reaction I wanted!

[ 'Thunder Conductor Claymore' (Special***) has been absorbed by 'Lightning Cloud' (Unique***) ]

[ 'Lightning Cloud' (Unique***) -> 'Lightning Cloud' (Unique****) ]

[ Item Skill - 'Elemental Constitution (Thunder)' Unlocked. ]

[ 'Lightning Cloud' has unlocked the (Claymore) form… ]

[ Activating 'Transformation'... ]

[ 'Lightning Cloud' has adapted the 'Claymore' form! ]

Trying out new form, I started using 'Elemental Armament' to infuse thunder elements into the claymore.

I could feel my thunder elements flowing inside the claymore through an irregular line, then as it reached the tip of the sword, it finally connected with the elements coating the claymore.

Thump!

The presence of the claymore suddenly doubled as I could feel that part of the true effect of 'Elemental Armament' was being applied, but that was it, it didn't reach the perfect effect of it as it was only partly conducting the elements…

'But that's not necessarily bad…'

Considering the fact that I was a multi-element user, if the fusion had actually turned the whole sword into a thunder conducting one, it would mean that it would be impossible to use it with other elements limiting its actual potential, and making its name sarcasm worthy.

After all, as soon as I tried using 'Elemental Interfusion' to turn the thunder elements into lightning elements within the sword, the whole conductance circuit  quacked as the sword threatened to break….

'Not a bad result overall…'

I felt self satisfied enough to take the rest of the day off and spend it in bed as celebration!

`~~`~~`~~`

One day later…

'Done!'

After waking up and spending a few hours organizing the items inside my ring using my mental energy, I could say that my reserve preparation task was finally done!

That made it worth the 100 gold coins I spent yesterday quite worth it, and counting the 50 gold coins used to buy the claymore, I only had a bit over 100 coins with some small change…

'Money is meant to be spent after all…'

As it was already quite a bargain to obtain an elemental conducting weapon for that price, Ignoring the fact that it was damaged as it was useful for me, I was obviously more satisfied than sad about the coins that would hold no value in most battle situations.

With only two tasks left on my list I moved to the easiest of them once again, training the wind element application of 'Swift steps'!

Although it seemed easy to do, it would actually yield a great result, being able to use the true 'Hurricane Steps'!

'Time to head out again…'

I took a quick shower before donning one of my new casual clothes sets and leaving the headquarters, heading for the wide plains outside of the Lightning Capital.
