Crafting a Staff

"Great Elder!!"

Seeing that the Great Elder had voluntarily peeled himself out of the tumor meant that there was no chance of him surviving.

"Lance...all of you, get out. I have something to say to the Lord Emissary and this human prophet."

Whatever happens here is my own decision.

"Yes..."

With little time left for the Great Elder, the elders immediately withdrew and stood guard outside the Black Wart Tree.

"Cough cough cough, my lord... I don't have much time! I won't say any words of thanks. I also serve as a 'prophet' in the tribe, but I can't compare to this master."

I know exactly what you want, sir.

My Crowman Tribe's warehouse may not have suitable internal materials... but I have them here.

However, I have a request.

If Your Lord Emissary would grant my request, I am willing to use my last breath to complete the making of the "staff" for you..."

As the Great Elder gave his 'final instructions,' Han Dong nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

"Sir, please give me the materials you have..."

"Thank you, Elder Da."

"The Source of the Lighthouse"

"Ghost Face Demonic Wood"

It was then delivered to the Great Elder.

"It's a truly rare material. I've only glimpsed its appearance in my dreams... I never imagined that the material itself would possess such brilliance."

The Great Elder gently placed the demon wood into the body cavity.

He was chanting an ancient incantation, but his weak body made it seem somewhat ineffective.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Black and White joined in the incantation, reciting it together with the Great Elder, thus assisting in the successful execution of the mysterious Dark Magic...

After a spell involving self-sacrifice is cast.

The Great Elder's abdominal cavity was gradually stretched open.

Crunch, crunch!

Numerous crow claws extended from within, slowly pulling the demonic wood into its body.

At the same time, the scripture on the Great Elder's right arm was fully activated.

A wisp of black energy emanated, coiling around and transforming the right arm into a Spirit Body form... With this Phased State arm, it slowly reached into the searchlight and perfectly extracted the "wick" inside.

Due to the characteristics of the light source material.

The lamp wick, which originally emitted a warm light, gradually transformed into a dark wick as it continuously absorbed the Great Elder's "qi".

The transformation of the lamp wick's properties was complete, and the Great Elder swallowed it whole.

"Then... I'll leave everything to you. This tree has been with me for a hundred years, so let it stand in my place and witness the glory of the crow people."

The words had barely left his lips.

The last glimmer of light in the Great Elder's eyes faded.

Because he had been in a state of living death for many years, the Great Elder, who should have died several months ago, had accumulated a large amount of 'death energy' in his body during the years he had been prolonging his life.

When the Great Elder died, he used special means to seal these death energies within his body.

They created an extremely rare "Death Cavity" to complete the production of a special "staff-type" weapon.

Using the Great Elder's body as a weapon manufacturing site

Using the unique "Crow's Heart" as the inner material,

Perfect Fusion the two Epic Grade destiny materials provided by Han Dong.

Create unique staff-type weapons.

During this time, the soft tree roots connected to the Great Elder's body maximized the transfer of ' Miasma Energy ' to replenish the energy needed to forge the weapon.

This special weapon, crafted from materials of destiny combined with the flesh of the Ravenfolk and chaotic aura, may only be usable by insiders and outsiders like Han Dong.

"The time is almost right! Hurry up and go forward to acknowledge it as your master... Use the advanced Crow Magic you've learned to establish a connection with the Staff Body inside."

"Good!"

Han Dong stepped forward.

Extending the [Hand of the Undying Priest], a black scripture spun in his palm, activated by high-level life-type Crow Magic.

Streams of life force entered the Great Elder's corpse, connecting with the Staff Body that was about to be completed inside.

"Huh!? A gasp?"

In an instant, a large amount of life force was extracted in reverse, and Han Dong quickly stabilized his body.

In a short time, Han Dong's entire arm was completely drained, turning it into Mummy Arm... or rather, returning it to its original state.

By infusing the Staff Body with fresh vitality, the recognition of Christ is accomplished.

At the same time, a special living being located at the end of the Staff Body is activated, completing the final step in making the staff.

Gaa!

A deathly cawing sound echoed through the Tree Hole.

Even the three elders guarding the door were taken aback...

The Great Elder's remains had completely exhausted their energy in creating the Staff Body, leaving only a thin layer of skin.

It was gradually being pierced by a black beak.

Han Dong waved his hand, Staff Body came into his grasp.

Splash...

In an instant, the "Bone Feather Robe" that was worn inside his body, woven from the fingernails of Great Ghoul and the feathers of a crow-man, was activated by the staff due to its Same Origin... transforming into a black feather coat that covered Han Dong's body.

A dark energy immediately began to flow through the Magic Circuitry that had been adjusted by Demps.

"This feeling!!"

Tree Hole.

A series of footsteps could be heard.

A staff shrouded in black mist, its outline difficult to discern, yet faintly revealing a sinister eye, was held in Han Dong's hand.

They slowly emerged from the Tree Hole.

Upon seeing the staff and sensing its aura, the three elders understood what had happened inside and knelt down.

Elder Lance Crow Raven couldn't help but shed a tear tinged with black luster.

"Before the Great Elder left, he entrusted me with a task: to personally move this Black Wart Tree to the manor... Therefore, please do not provide any assistance to the three elders throughout the process; this process must be completed by me alone."

"Okay! We'll lead the way for you, sir."

Han Dong gently moved the "staff" in his hand.

The soil at the base of the giant warty tree was completely loosened, and the dark quicksand carried the giant tree slowly toward the manor.

Thanks to the assistance provided by the "staff," Han Dong was able to cast large-scale spells with minimal energy consumption.

At the same time, a stream of black sand carried Han Dong upwards to the top of the giant tree and slowly moved towards the manor.

Even Though the energy in his head was being depleted relatively quickly, a smile still graced Han Dong's lips.

Han Dong never expected that the weapon he desired could be manufactured in the present moment... Moreover, the final product far exceeded his original expectations.

The Black Vortex spun.

Mr. Black and White appeared beside Han Dong.

"The making of a staff is different from that of ordinary weapons, not to mention the special materials you have prepared... There are staff-making masters in the Holy City, but they are not suitable to make a staff for you."

Remember, weapons are powerful, but true strength comes from within.

"Clear..."

"Furthermore, the use of this staff is not limited to your current major and minor."

Utilizing a weapon effectively and unleashing its full potential will help you rise to a higher position.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir."

"I have some things to take care of, so I'll head back first. Don't stay outside the city for too long."

After Mr. Black and White finished speaking, he transformed into a crow and flew away.

Go LPL!
