Under the extreme heat, the Lead-Gray Powder in the furnace quickly melted into liquid, taking on a transparent, glass-like sheen.
Drawing the liquid out of the furnace, Richard waved his hand and cast a Wind Spell, condensing the air into two arms that held the liquid aloft and slowly shaped it into the desired form.
Once the shaping was complete, he allowed the liquid to cool naturally and set, then placed it on another workbench.
Putting on microscopic glasses, Richard used a Space Iron Ring as a tool to engrave magical patterns onto the object's surface, occasionally using lasers for assistance.
After finishing this round of work, Richard did not stop. He walked to a cabinet in the corner and took out two broken pieces of crystal.
These were Crystal Man remains he had collected from the ruins. After testing them for some time, he had confirmed that they possessed excellent energy storage properties. In fact, that much had been apparent from the Crystal Men's previous battles.
He planned to melt the material down and fill the grooves of the magical patterns with it. On the one hand, it would strengthen the effects of the magical patterns; on the other, it would increase the energy storage limit—both had been verified through experiments, so there would be no problems.
With his mind made up, Richard melted the crystal fragments, added them to the surface of the half-finished Energy Furnace, then took out more materials and continued adding them...
Busy, busy, endlessly busy.
Richard remained busy for an entire day.
As the day was about to end, Richard took a short rest and adjusted himself before appearing in another room within Eden Garden, holding a metal square box containing the fruits of his labor.
"Let's see how well this works." Richard muttered
