Chapter 505: The Indestructible Blade
Chapter 505: The Indestructible Blade
"Water?"
Lindsey trusted Alarson's warning without a doubt.
He immediately crouched at the edge of the raft, carefully gazing at the sea before him.
The sea, as green as jade, reflected Lindsey's own face.
He focused intently, observing closely.
But the puzzle module remained silent, and even with his Awakened perception, he couldn't sense anything unusual beneath the water.
"The color is getting darker..."
Lindsey turned to look behind him.
In his eyes, the sea they had just passed through and the water below were exactly the same color.
There was no sign of anything unusual!
Alarson immediately explained, "The change in color is very subtle. I only noticed the difference because of my painter's ability.
Lindsey sat back on the raft, "It's possible that it's just a normal color change."
"At least my reconnaissance ability didn't provide any useful information either."
Lindsey and Alarson had no idea about the current situation, so their gaze naturally fell on Wah Wah Wah, who was beside them.
The girl's original body had entered this world before them.
They could only rely on her for any information.
"It's very dark."
Wah Wah Wah began describing immediately, "If I have to say it—the water in that giant whirlpool is as dark as ink, definitely darker than the sea we're in right now."
Lindsey said, "So this is good news?"
"It means we're heading in the right direction."
Lindsey sniffed the wind blowing from the sea.
The wind of freedom summoned by the music was also pushing them in the corresponding direction.
With no information available, the three of them could only sit on the raft and continue drifting with the current.
Lindsey took the opportunity to check the synthesis formulas.
[1 Shadow Weft + 1 Advanced Dark Gemstone + 10 Soul Binding Wood + 20 Necrotic Essence + 1 Phantom Flame = Veil of Deathly Ashes]
[1 Shadow Weft + 1 Soul Binding Wood + 1 Star Metal = Dark Canopy Staff]
[1 Shadow Weft + 1 Indestructible Blade + 1 Despair Orb = Annihilation Blade]
[1 Shadow Weft + 1 Fine Fabric + 1 Demon Wing = Shadow Erosion]
"..."
"Indestructible Blade?"
The synthesis formula for Shadow Weft indeed seemed to create powerful items.
However, what caught Lindsey's attention the most was the Indestructible Blade, which was used as a material.
He glanced at his bag.
[Weapon/Material: Ektan Iron Dagger]
[A dagger with extreme weight and hardness, almost impossible to damage; when damaged, it slowly repairs itself; can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A rare dagger made from Ektan Iron, which only exists deep within the earth, and is of high value.]
This dagger was something Lindsey had dug out from the Black Mountain world when he first entered it, back when his strength was only at 19 points.
Holding the Ektan Iron Dagger felt strenuous at that time.
Now, with 50 points of strength, using this dagger felt as effortless as holding a fruit-peeling knife.
Of course, the most important thing was its synthesis formula.
[1 Ektan Iron Dagger + 1 Titanium Alloy + 1 Advanced Gemstone Dust + 1 Advanced Metal = Indestructible Blade]
"This must be the dagger left behind by the expedition team."
"The equipment made using this as a material should definitely be good."
Lindsey still had four pieces of advanced metal produced by the Radiant Ironstone Tree, and it would be another two months before the next harvest.
"A reserve of three pieces should be enough."
With such a promising piece of equipment in sight, Lindsey didn't hesitate to proceed with the synthesis.
As he infused the materials and Source Essence into the Ektan Iron Dagger, it transformed into a sleek black short sword, exuding a chilling aura like a starry night sky. Awakened perception couldn't detect any anomalies on the sword, but to the naked eye, the cold light seemed to flow along its surface, showcasing its sharpness and durability.
[Weapon/Material: Indestructible Blade]
[By extracting the concept of 'hardness' from Ektan Iron, this special weapon is crafted. Its texture is equivalent to the concept of 'hardness', making it indestructible by physical means. It can also be used as a material for crafting other items.]
[Equipment Requirement: The high quality of this weapon demands a user with a strength of 40 or above to wield it effectively.]
[An indestructible short sword of significant value.]
Lindsey hefted the Indestructible Blade, its black blade appearing to be about half a meter long. However, when he gripped it, it felt like it weighed over 100 kilograms!
This weight was far beyond what a normal person could handle.
Wah Wah Wah curiously approached and asked, "Lindsey, what is this thing?"
The petite Wah Wah Wah extended her small hand and tried to lift the Indestructible Blade, but it pulled her forward, nearly causing her to stumble onto the raft.
Fortunately, Lindsey was quick to react and caught her, sword and all.
"Be careful," he said.
"This is the equipment I just crafted. It's incredibly heavy."
The young Wah Wah Wah rubbed her wrist and glared at him. "Is this what you call heavy?"
"When I tried to lift it, it felt like I was lifting a house!"
Lindsey glanced at Wah Wah Wah's body.
"Could it be that your body is still too small?" he asked.
Wah Wah Wah blushed and averted her gaze.
"So, what's so special about this heavy sword?"
Lindsey cautiously explained, "It's incredibly hard, almost impossible to destroy by normal means."
After this brief interruption, Lindsey didn't waste the opportunity to collect more items. He continued fishing, taking advantage of the situation.
This vast ocean possessed a strong dark attribute.
Lindsey's fishing efforts didn't yield any Oceanic Element Crystals or Oceanic Gemstones. Instead, he caught boxes containing Shadow Element Crystals and Shadow Gemstones.
The former could be synthesized into Intermediate Dark Magic Engravings, but he lacked the basic materials.
The latter were standard dark attribute gemstones, adding to Lindsey's collection of synthesis materials.
"The force of suffering destiny, dark attribute," Lindsey muttered.
As time passed, his unease grew with each catch.
By the time nightfall approached, he couldn't focus on fishing anymore.
Lindsey changed his sitting position and turned his attention to the map, examining the surrounding environment.
Just as Alarson had warned him, the seawater around them had visibly darkened since they first entered this illusory dream.
However, Lindsey's reconnaissance skill revealed no significant changes in the underwater marine life.
The ocean appeared calm and safe, but hidden dangers lurked beneath the surface, as various clues hinted at an unseen threat.
"An ocean world, dark attribute, and almost no one around..." Lindsey looked at Wah Wah Wah.
"Wah Wah Wah, who created this illusory dream?"
Wah Wah Wah shook her head. "I don't know."
"At least, in all the illusory dreams I've heard of in Thousand Sails City, there's never been a place like this."
