Chapter 324 Huge
Chapter 324 Huge
Dilan first thought that he was simply staring at a huge piece of metal and not a weapon. It looked heavy and cumbersome to move but both Brian and Huan smiled foolishly as they rushed to the weapon when they noticed that Dilan was interested in it.
“Balzaki, the Butcher of the Living, might look a bit weird because we tried to create a unique greatsword but take a look at its information!” Huan’s hands were trembling lightly as he pointed in the direction of the weapon. His eyes were fixated on Dilan, who quickly noticed that Huan was excited.
Dilan’s eyes moved from Huan to Brian before they finally ended up resting on the huge greatsword.
It was more than two meters long and didn’t look the slightest like an ordinary greatsword. If Dilan had to make a comparison, it looked more like a huge, altered version of a Cleaver knife.
The hilt of the greatsword was black in color due to the black leather that was used to envelop the hilt to give the weilder a steady grip and it was 25 centimeters long to help him maintain his hold while swinging it rapidly.
The two-meter-long blade covered a small area in front of the handle, preventing the wielder’s arm from being injured as any attack would first collide with the blade. There was a small gap between the hilt and the blade but this bother Dilan much.
The blade had a dull backside that was also much thicker than the sharp frontside and it looked quite like a weapon that would be created in an Era where Mechas and Intergalactic wars were held rather than most weapons Dilan had used until now.
While the blade was two-meter-long it was also 25 centimeters wide and covered by numerous dimly shining runes and other engravings. They attracted his attention, just like the thick black knob at the end of the hilt.
“You created such a cumbersome weapon just to practice engraving all these runes on it, didn’t you?” Dilan asked with a frown. He didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry, especially since he seemed to like the weapon.
The notification he received from the system about Balzaki, the Butcher of the Living, was something that intrigued him because there were a few things that might help him in the fight against the Vampires.
Some information mentioned in it was definitely exaggerated but Dilan was pretty sure that Balzaki was a weapon that could cut through the defenses of an existence at Tier-2!
[[Balzaki] |Forged| Gold Tier-1
[+20 Strength]
A massive sword that can be wielded fluidly despite its size and weight. The sword can cut through all kinds of living beings with ease thanks to the masterfully sharpened blade.
Weapon proficiency while wielding Balzaki increases according to the host’s weapon Battlelust.
[Death toll(passive)] Soul fragments of the beings killed with Balzaki will be absorbed. The energy within the Soul fragments will be drained and used to strengthen both Balzaki and the wielder! Soul fragments will be released after 30 minutes.]]
“Balzaki….is the best…weapon we could create…until now…” Brian added meekly while avoiding Dilan’s gaze. Dilan grinned wildly as he caressed the black blade of the ginormous weapon lovingly. It was heavy which he noticed the moment he picked it up but that was not of his concern.
He could lift more than a ton with his Strength, so wielding Balzaki with one hand was no problem at all.
“I will take it,” Dilan declared quietly while his grin widened.
“You…will take it? Really?!” Brian seemed astonished. The Unique Greatsword was certainly not a weapon Dilan would usually wield. Until now, Dilan had only used a spear, the various daggers, and the Blazing Serpentine Blade. It was widely known that Dilan didn’t like cumbersome weapons that slowed him down in a fight.
“Yeah, of course, why not? I mean…my Agility is high enough to help me move through a horde of opponents and with my high Health stat, I won’t be slowed down easily. As for my Strength, I believe I am strong enough,” Dilan said without thinking too much.
He wielded Balzaki with one hand and quickly noticed what the description of the weapon meant with ‘can be wielded fluidly despite its size and weight’, or the increasing weapon proficiency the more Battle lust the wielder has.
Dilan was quite excited right now and ready to jump into a battle at any moment, and this was directly reflected in the way he wielded Balzaki.
His new weapon was quite decent and after a few simple moves and thrusts, Dilan could tell that it was a perfect weapon against the Vampires, especially the passive ability of Balzaki, called [Death toll]
“The more I slaughter in a short period, the stronger the weapon and I will become. If there is no limit or restrictions, entering the Spider Queen’s Gate before the Vampire’s attack would be a smart choice…” Dilan mumbled while he was deep in thoughts.
Huan and Brian looked at each other before they smiled lightly.
“Looks like the experiments we did together were a success!” Huan said, grinning from ear to ear, while Brian nodded his head eagerly.
Brian approached Dilan quietly before he showed him something else they had been working on not too long ago.
“If you need anything else, just take it…we want to help in the fight…against the Vampires!” Brian said as he looked Dilan in the eyes. Brian’s eyes moved hurriedly and his lip twitched when Dilan flashed him a smile.
“It’s nice that the two of you want to help, but don’t go around handing your weapons for free. Lend your experiential weapons to others while demanding some resources in exchange. That way you can finance your future experiments while you guys will be able to see how powerful your weapons truly are…or if they’re failed products!” Dilan came up with a way where the blacksmiths could help in the Vampire war while still gaining benefits.
They didn’t have to set exorbitantly high prices for the weapons they would lend out, but it would certainly help if they had to give the blacksmiths something in exchange.
“Eh…okay…” Brian tilted his head lightly before he turned his attention to Huan in uncertainty.
“Sounds good, I guess,” He merely said as he shrugged.
Dilan continued to discuss with the two blacksmiths for a few more minutes before he left the alloy factory. After that, he returned to the trading hub where he purchased various treasures in exchange for one of the Thunderbolt daggers that were in his possession.
The Thunderbolt dagger might not come with a special ability or additional stats but that was not further important because it was made out of the Talons of a Bronze Tier-2 monster.
Dilan got a new pair of shoes, a new pair of gloves, a necklace, and a new ring in exchange. These four treasures were more than enough for his stats to increase drastically, to a state where he was pretty sure that nothing could kill him anymore.
He knew that he was getting too full of himself after his Origin ability was upgraded to Tier-1 but he couldn’t help it.
His Health had crossed 200 Units with all the enhancements he received. This was not something he could simply ignore when the most powerful monster they faced was merely a low-leveled Bronze Tier-2 monster!
Dilan’s average stats were currently much higher than the Thunderbolt Eagle and that was something he knew perfectly well.
Knowing that, Dilan took a deep breath, and was about to leave the base to increase his stats a bit more. There were a few things he wanted to test out with his new equipment and he wanted to get to familiarize himself with his weapon a bit more so as to make sure that he knew how good it was and if he would face any problems while wielding it.
However, his entire plan fell apart when Bianne rushed in his direction, holding one of their few messenger devices.
“The Blue Star camp contacted us…they’re coming!!” She breathed heavily and gasped for air but that didn’t deter Bainne from shouting at Dilan, whose expression turned sour.
“Already? Did we miscalculate their arrival?”
