Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Reforging
"I wouldn’t call it perseverance. When you face problems that are hard to solve, you can often find the answers in books."
Andre continued to mix the Potion, leaving Karina with no choice but to flip through the Complete Witchcraft.
Once she started, she was completely engrossed.
Six hours later, Andre stood up and stretched his back, and a series of sharp cracks echoed from his spine.
The sound, like popping beans, jolted Karina out of the Complete Witchcraft.
"Hm?" Karina looked at Andre and blinked.
’What was that?’ Karina blinked again.
"What is it?" Andre turned to look at Karina when he heard her.
"Nothing!" Karina shook her head, saying nothing more, but a deep fear was buried in her eyes.
It was because when Andre had just stood up, she had turned her head to look at him.
What she saw was not Andre himself. Instead, she had suddenly seen a Giant striding out from an endless gray mist.
The Giant’s height was beyond description, but its body was covered in countless divine rings, each one interpreting all the Truths of the world.
Just as Karina tried to get a clear look at the Giant’s true face, everything she was seeing suddenly vanished.
Andre had appeared before her.
’What kind of Meditation Technique does Andre practice? How could it manifest such a terrifying scene?’
Karina averted her gaze, lowered her head, and pretended to continue reading the Complete Witchcraft.
But no matter how she tried to calm the turmoil in her heart, the image she had just witnessed remained stubbornly seared into her mind.
’That kind of vision... shouldn’t only powerhouses at the level of a Truth Great Wizard be able to manifest something like that?’
’Andre is just a Level 2 Wizard. How is that possible?’
After another moment, Karina found the thoughts in her own mind ridiculous, and she forced her attention back to the Complete Witchcraft.
At that moment, Andre took the Three Wonders Wheel, which had been heated until it glowed red-hot, off the Magic Fire. Then, the Chaos Magic Power within his body erupted, instantly engulfing both him and the Three Wonders Wheel.
’What kind of method is this for forging Witchcraft Artifacts?’
Hearing the sound, Karina turned her head just in time to see Andre and the Three Wonders Wheel in his hand disappear into a Chaos Mist.
A hissing sound echoed continuously. Karina looked at the ground and began to back away.
The floor, which had already been corroded away by the Black Water, was now being eaten away by another layer, this time by Andre’s Chaos Magic Power.
One had to remember, the corrosive power of the Black Water was already quite strong, yet it still hadn’t managed to eat away much of the ground beneath the bloody mud.
But Andre’s Chaos Magic Power was erasing the floor completely.
’Could it be that what I just saw... was Andre’s true form?’
She thought again of the scene she had just witnessed, and a chill ran down her spine.
’If... if that vision I saw was Andre’s true form, then why is he hiding his Power?’
Karina was now completely lost in her own imagination.
Only now did she finally understand why Andre’s gaze always seemed to hold a hint of disdain for her.
It was because he disdained how little she had seen of the world.
But as a broker who lived by selling information, she had been to many places and seen many things.
Yet in front of someone like Andre, she was still like a new blood who had just entered the academy.
While Karina’s imagination ran wild, Andre was completely oblivious.
He had simply, while preparing the material solutions, glimpsed a few Truths by observing the reactions between the materials and the Potion.
At this moment, Andre’s mind was completely focused on the Three Wonders Wheel.
After enveloping himself and the artifact in Chaos Magic Power, he began to carve new Demon Patterns.
The Demon Patterns he was carving this time had been chosen long ago.
They were the most primitive, most fundamental Level 2 Demon Patterns of the three elements: ice, thunder, and flame.
The reason they were called the most primitive and fundamental was because casting any Level 2 Witchcraft of these three elements was impossible without the involvement of these Demon Patterns.
And this was why Andre dared to claim the Ten Thousand Laws Wheel he was forging could manifest all forms of Witchcraft.
"Huuu!" At that moment, countless wisps of Chaos Mist emerged from Andre’s mouth and nose.
Ever since he had created the first Chaos Demon Pattern representing Chaos Truth, he had possessed this Ability.
Any Power that entered his body would be assimilated by his Chaos Magic Power and transformed into more Chaos Magic Power, and that included his own Bloodline.
By now, ten percent of his Bloodline had been completely assimilated by Chaos Magic Power, metamorphosing into a special Bloodline that Andre neither recognized nor understood.
But because the amount of this new Bloodline in his body was too small, its special characteristics were not yet apparent.
’Let’s begin!’ Andre took out the Splitting Heavy Sword, using it as a carving knife and his Chaos Magic Power as a lubricant, and began to etch the grooves of the Demon Patterns onto the Three Wonders Wheel.
At the same time, he used his Chaos Magic Power to convert and absorb the scraped-off powder, making it a part of his Chaos Magic Power.
During this process, the Chaos Magic Power would connect the newly carved Demon Patterns with the previous ones.
An unknown amount of time passed before Andre finally put down the Splitting Heavy Sword and looked at the Three Wonders Wheel in his hands.
The Demon Patterns on the Three Wonders Wheel had now been completely carved.
Now, it was time for the material solutions.
Andre poured the eighteen material solutions one by one into the engraved Demon Patterns in the correct order.
All the while, he constantly used his Chaos Magic Power to adjust the fusion speed of the solutions with the Three Wonders Wheel.
Only after they had completely fused did Andre withdraw his Chaos Magic Power.
As he did, Andre glanced at the Splitting Heavy Sword he had stuck into the ground.
The blade of the Splitting Heavy Sword was now much brighter than when he had first obtained it.
Before, the Splitting Heavy Sword had looked like an ordinary Western-style Heavy Sword, but now it was beginning to look different.
’Could it be because of the Chaos Magic Power?’
Andre blinked, looking at the ever-brightening Splitting Heavy Sword.
In his understanding, Chaos Magic Power possessed only terrifyingly corrosive properties, not restorative ones.
To have restorative properties, the breath of life would have to be born within the Chaos Magic Power.
And that step was still a long way off.
Although the phantom of the unknown giant tree in his second Magic Heart could continuously transform Chaos Magic Power into the Power of Life,
it would still take a considerable amount of time for that Power of Life to permeate all of his Chaos Magic Power.
’If the Chaos Magic Power really can repair the Splitting Heavy Sword, that would be a tremendous stroke of luck for me.’
’With an offensive Morning Star Witchcraft Artifact in hand, the dangers I face will be greatly reduced.’
Andre put away the Splitting Heavy Sword, then tossed the Three Wonders Wheel in his hand back into the Magic Fire.
By calcining it in the Magic Fire, he would allow the material solutions to fuse completely with the Three Wonders Wheel.
At this moment, the Magic Fire had grown somewhat weak due to the lack of Magic Stones.
Andre tossed another hundred Magic Stones into the Magic Fire, and it instantly began to burn vigorously once more.
