Guardian Of The End

Chapter 187 Unlocking Green Thunder

A few days passed by without Amber waking up. Risa had her dozed off most of the time since she knew that the moment Amber would wake up, she would experience a lot of hellish pain.

"I will have to wake up her soon to let her body process a few things. It isn't going to be pretty." Risa muttered absentmindedly during one of Jason's training sessions.

"I want to be there when you will do this," Jason replied. "I'm curious to see how the entire thing will play out."

"Sure. Focus on your training right now."

The next day, Jason was standing inside the forging workshop early in the morning. He had already learned how to cut the metal and had also crafted tools using green thunder.

Now he only need to complete the last step and that was to shape the piece of metal he had cut using his generated thunder.

It was not an easy thing to do since he needed to make sure that the thunder remained in the same constant form.

Otherwise he would end up creating an explosion inside the shop.

'Here I go.'

Jason carefully called upon his green thunder and brought it closer to the piece of metal. He touched it with the tip of the thunderbolt and slowly started cutting in.

He made sure that the mana particles remained in their designated spots and didn't move in other directions.

This was what gave the green thunder its smooth yet deadly form.

It took Jason a few seconds to cut a small piece out of the sheet of metal. Once he was done, he shifted it to another working table.

He summoned more of the green thunder and created a hammer from it. The hammer resembled a real hammer and didn't have any sparks of thunder escaping from it.

The next thing he created was a stand for forging, which was weird considering numerous stands were already present inside the workshop.

[ According to Issac, its betetr to use a stand made of your own thunder. It will allow you to stabilize the thunder that might run wild. ]

'Bold of him to assume that I can control the thunder energy at all…'

Jason sighed and created a stand from the green thunder. It was a small three inches base for keeping objects that required hammering or things like that.

Jason carefully placed the cutout piece of metal atop the stand before picking up the hammer again.

He gently tapped the metal's surface with the hammer before taking a deep breath and bringing it down on the metal. A clanging sound resounded throughout the room as the metal bended a bit.

Jason repeated the process a few times before the piece of metal was evenly flat. He dispelled the hammer then and picked up the flattened piece of metal.

He walked up to the fireplace and placed the metal on the floor. Jason bent down on his knees and summoned the next tool, a pair of tongs for holding the metal.

,m Creating the tongs was more difficult than creating the hammer since he needed to make them more flexible without interrupting the flow of mana.

[ Guide the thunder towards a central flow before making spreading it in two different directions. Add a bit of flexibility and make sure that the thunder can be gripped using your hands. ]

Jason did as instructed and created a fixed central point of concentrated mana. From there onwards, he made the thunder go out in two separate directions.

Just to make sure that it wasn't completely stiff, Jason called back a few mana particles. The entire process was much more complicated than it sounded.

After a lot of sweating and careful control of mana particles, Jason finally ended up with a pairs of tongs for lifting the piece of metal.

He grabbed the tongs and tightly picked up the metal. He slowly raised it forward until it made contact with the fire.

Once that happened, Jason summoned another tool using his thunder. This time he crafted another hammer, one twice the size of the one from before.

'It should be hot enough.' Jason pulled the metal back and placed it on another stand.

He raised the hammer high and brought it down on the metal. He slowly started shaping the metal into the form of a cube since that was the only thing he could think of crafting.

After a few more bangs, he once again placed the metal inside the fire and waited a few seconds.

He took it out again and hammered it. Jason repeated this process a few times until the metal had successfully taken the shape of cube.

'Wait…'

It was at this moment that Jason ran into a problem. The tongs could no longer hold the metal cube since he hadn't made them to grab something that big.

After wracking his brain for a few seconds, Jason dispelled the tongs. He instead summoned a sooth lasso made from thunder and carefully wrapped it around the metal cube.

Surprisingly, no sizzling sounds were heard. This was because both the lasso and the cube were at a similar temperature, thanks to Jason's control.

He slowly lifted the mana cube from the stand with the help of the lasso and walked to another corner of the workshop.

A bucket of water was placed there and Jason dumped the metal cube into it, dispelling thunder lasso in the process.

"Finally…" Jason wiped the sweat off his forehead and sat back with a relaxed expression.

He just needed to wait for the metal cube to cool down and then he would hold his first forged piece of equipment in his hand.

< Ding! A new variant of thunder has been unlocked. >

< Do you want to see the details on the new type of thunder? >

Jason looked at these notifications with a grin. However, he dismissed them, deciding to check them once he had settled down comfortably.

'This much time should be enough.' Jason thought after fifteen minutes.

He put his hand in the bucket of water and fetched out the metal cube. Holding his first creation in his hand, Jason couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

'One step closer to becoming a master of thunder.
