383 Nothing To You (1/2)

Back in their tent, Carnage was placed in front of Lin Yun, teeth from the Wyvern King set up next to it. Lin Yun had planned to embed the Wyvern King Teeth on Carnage back when he was still in the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group camp, but trouble kept coming one after the other.

Carnage had been tailor-crafted for Xiuban, ten layers of alchemy arrays were layered onto it, making it reach five hundred kilograms. Only Xiuban who had innate strength and had absorbed the blood of a Three-Headed Gold Dragon could use this weapon.

Now, as a 6th Rank Expert Swordsman and Draconic Beastman, Xiuban seemed to need a more powerful weapon.

Carnage would have two attributes after getting augmented by the Wyvern King Teeth, namely Armor Break and Corrosion. The power of Carnage would inevitably increase a few levels.

But Lin Yun met some trouble...

That's right, trouble...

Before, Lin Yun had used the Boundless Layering Technique to create Carnage. At the time, Lin Yun hadn't expected that he would obtain a rare magic material like Wyvern King Teeth.

As every alchemist knows, the most powerful magic materials should be used as the core, this was basic rule in the crafting of magic tools, if not respected, it would affect the balance of a magic tool. It was precisely the situation with the current Carnage, the Wyvern King Teeth were rare materials that came from a Level 35 magic beast, when used for a Spiritual Magic Tool, it could be used as a core.

But now it could only be used as an auxiliary material for Carnage, its only effect was adding the Corrosion and Armor Break attributes to Carnage.

This was where Carnage was different...

Because Carnage was crafted with the Boundless Layering Technique, this array from the future made it so that Carnage only needed Gold Essence to reach the Spiritual Magic Tool Rank. In other words, Gold Essence was the core of this array, and the Wyvern Teeth could only be used as an auxiliary magic material.

Thus, there was a problem...

Although Gold Essence was an uncommon material, it wasn't as rare as Wyvern King Teeth, they were too drastically different types of magic materials. The primary and secondary materials were completely inverted and would inevitably lead to a conflict which even Lin Yun wouldn't be able to avert.

Lin Yun made some calculations.

If the Wyvern King Teeth were added, the Armor Break and Corrosion attributes could appear, but it might also destroy the structure of Carnage. Carnage would lose two thirds of its weight, and that was a conservative estimate. If unlucky, Carnage might even break in a battle due to its unstable structure.

This was according too much attention to the details and ignoring the foundations.

Carnage's power originally came from its weight and toughness, losing its biggest strength for the Armor Break and Corrosion attributes wasn't something Lin Yun wanted to see.

Lin Yun spent three hours staring at Carnage.

It was very late, Xiuban was so tired that he couldn't close his eyes. In these three hours, Xiuban yawned over twenty times, trying to hint to someone that it was very late and that he wanted to rest. Unfortunately, he was completely ignored.

Lin Yun didn't have time to deal with the sleepy Draconic Beastman, he focused all his mind on Carnage.

The Wyvern King Teeth were too formidable, if he added them without careful consideration, it would definitely wreck Carnage's structure. This was something hard to avoid. Not to mention, he was only a Master Alchemist, even if he entered the Artisan realm, he still wouldn't be able to just ignore basic rules of alchemy.

Unless he could redesign the Boundless Layering Technique and make this array more stable.

But he would have to forcibly suppress the changes to Carnage's structure...

Redesigning the Boundless Laying Technique wasn't something that could be done in a day or two. Lin Yun estimated that it would take two years..

This definitely wasn't worth it, two years was enough to make a brand new True Spirit Magic Tool, so why would he bother spending that time on tinkering a Spiritual Magic Tool?

'Hold on…'

Amidst his pondering, Lin Yun pondered suddenly recalling something, 'Right, I can't redesign it, but I can use another method to increase the stability of the array.'

Moreover, the materials were already ready!

Lin Yun put his hand in his pocket and took out a small portion of Dragon Blood Ink.
