Transmigrated as a Ghost

Back inside his workshop, Marcus grabbed two of his remaining adamantine ingots and put them in a large crimson ore crucible.

He knew that he was going to need more than one ingots worth of material to make the blade of his scythe, but less than two.

Placing the crucible into the furnace, Marcus turned up the heat as hot as he could and waited for the adamantine to melt down.

While he was waiting, Marcus began pulling out the items he was planning to use to strengthen his scythe.

First, he brought out the two cores he was planning to use, one being the core from the blade armed demon, and the other being from the winged unicorn Veunlux.

Along with those, he also brought out Veunlux's horn, and a piece of one of the demon's blade arms. He planned to melt these down along with the adamantine to further imbue them with he power of light and darkness.

Then once he had the main items to make his scythe, he brought out the remains of his darkness, light, and lightning elemental crystals.

He pretty much planned to make a copy of his last scythe, though he did intend to add a few more enchantments, and obviously it was going to be much more powerful.

When the adamantine had finally melted down after a bit over an hour of being blasted by incredibly extreme heat, Marcus carefully pulled out the crucible, and poured out around twenty-five percent of the adamantine into a smaller ingot mold.

This was the amount he was not going to need to make his scythe blade, and he stored it away for later use.

After that, he placed the fragment of the demon's blade arm along with Veunlux's horn into the molten adamantine and melted them together.

However, as he did this, the two opposing elements of the darkness-based demon, and a light-based beast, refused to meld together, and even as Marcus used his embodiment of eclipse, he could not force them to fuse.

Yet, as he was struggling to keep things from falling apart, an idea formed in his head.

But even though he thought what he had just come up with might work, he winced imagining how much it was going to hurt.

Still, it was all he could think of to do, since he needed to stabilize the adamantine that was close to splitting into two distinct parts.

So, with no other option, Marcus plunged his left arm into the roaring heat, and with an incredibly swift movement of a mithril, blade, cut his arm off into the molten adamantine.

Feeling the searing pain of having his arm cut off, Marcus gritted his teeth and took it.

He had lost and arm before, and even been cut in half. So, he fought through the pain, and kept his focus while acting fast.

His arm began dissolving into a gray mist almost immediately as it was cut off, and he had to use his spectral arm to shove his severed one into the molten adamantine, while also putting a lid on top of it.

Once that was done, Marcus sent the energy of his embodiment of eclipse into the adamantine, hoping that would help stabilize it.

Luckily, it did the trick, and the molten adamantine enhanced by Veunlux's horn, the demon's blade arm, and Marcus' own arm, stabilized.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Marcus took the crucible out of the furnace, and poured the mixture into an ingot mold, and allowed it to cool.

'Time for a break.'

Sitting down, Marcus took some time to let his arm fully grow back and pulled out a couple natural tressures and began snaking on them.

Sure he did not feel hungry, but the delicious taste from them helped his worn mind and soul feel some relief.

'Much better.' Marcus thought after taking a few minutes to rest, and letting his arm fully recover.

Having recuperated back to his peak, Marcus went over to look at the cooling adamantine and immediately noticed something different about it.

The green luster it normally had was now darker in some places and lighter in others, while also seemingly mixing together all over.

'Hm I never got anywhere close to this kind of result while using mithril. It most have to do with the materials I added to it. I suppose that they were strong enough to warp the adamantine into something else.'

Taking the now cooled down ingot, Marcus placed it back into the furnace so that it would heat up enough to be worked with.

When the metal had begun glowing brightly Marcus took it out of the furnace and began hammering away, shaping it into a blade.

Except as he made his first stroke with the hammer Marcus noticed something was different.

It felt as if his instincts were guiding him even more than before, and while the first time he used adamantine was fairly difficult and full of errors. Now it almost felt as if he was having a much easier time.

'I knew it.'

Opening up his status Marcus found what he had been expecting and saw that his forge skill had leveled up to six.

This helped explain why he felt much more comfortable forging the adamantine, even though it was only his second time working with it.

'Still, I need to be careful. Even with the increased skill level, if I get carried away, I will start to make mistakes.'

Turning his status screen off, Marcus refocused on the task at hand, and heated up the adamantine once again before finishing up the process of turning it into a blade.

With that first step done, Marcus marveled at the adamantine scythe blade he had made for just a moment, before he began grinding it down, and sharpening the blade.

Then with that done, he began making the pole that would attach to the blade.

Unfortunately, this time he was unable to find any suitable enchanted wood, so he decided to just used adamantine as well, since it was not like he needed to worry about recoil on his hands at this level.

Taking another adamantine bar, Marcus melted it down and added his freshly regenerated arm into it, since he now realized he was an infinite supply of powerful monster materials.

Still, he did not think he would use this method often, since cutting his arm off hurt like hell.

Then after his arm had returned and the metal had cooled down, Marcus shaped the ingot into the handle for his scythe, and once it was completely ready, he attached the two pieces.

Picking it up Marcus swung his new scythe around getting a feel for it.

'Hm this might take a little bit to get used to. It is quite a bit heavier than my mithril one, and even before being enchanted it can absorb more mana. Still, I feel an even greater connection with this one, maybe because a part of me is actually in the metal.'

Once he was content with testing out his adamantine scythe before it was enchanted, Marcus placed it back onto his work bench and prepared his mana etcher to perform the final step in making his new weapon.
