But Kronos didn't care about that. As long as the task was assigned to his subordinates, the Boss just needed to check the results.

When Kronos struck that pose, it infuriated Gner, who then unleashed a string of profanities. It was the first time Kronos had ever realized that profanity could be so vulgar.

Today is the day to collect the newly crafted Beyonder Item from Sharf, but so far, Gner hasn't said a single word to Kronos.

Kronos was at a loss. He had only been joking at first, and he knew that Gner was joking too, but he was really bad at comforting people. So he decided to let it go and see who could outlast whom!

Gner was speechless. A joke had led to this tense standoff between them. They both knew the other didn't mean anything by it, but they both wanted to force the other to speak first, and that's how it ended up like this.

The two arrived at the gate of Sharf, knocked on the door, and a "Wildman" opened it for them.

"Sharf, what happened to you?" The fact that he could turn himself into Wildman in just four or five days was quite astonishing to Kronos.

"What's so special about this? When I first became Artisan, I was much better. I once stayed up for a week straight and created four Beyonder Item. I wonder if anyone has broken my Record yet," Sharf said nonchalantly.

Kronos looked at Sharf helplessly and said, "Even Beyonder can die suddenly. After all, you're not Demigod yet, so you still need to be careful."

Sharf ignored him and gestured for the two men to come in with him.

Upon arriving at the room in Sharf that he used to craft Beyonder Item, Kronos found that Sharf's exterior was quite respectable compared to the room itself.

There wasn't a single place to step inside the entire house; books, trash, and all sorts of materials were scattered everywhere.

Kronos glanced around the room, then curled his lip and said, "Sharf, why don't you bring your things out? We can look at them in the Reception Room. We won't go into your room and make a mess of it."

After uttering that highly sarcastic remark, Kronos regretted it somewhat, feeling it had been a bit disrespectful to Sharf.

But he really didn't expect that after hearing this, Sharf would nod quickly and say, "You've thought this through very well. You've made a mess of my room since you came in. You can leave now, I'll take my things out."

Kronos and Gner were both stunned by what he said; they never expected that Sharf would actually say such a thing.

Just as Kronos was about to say something, the door slammed shut.

With no other option, Kronos and Gner sat down on the sofa behind them. But since they were the only two people in the room, they just stared at each other in a stalemate.

Fortunately, Sharf came out shortly afterward.

Sharf was seen carrying a Revolver in his right hand and a long leather bag in his left.

Seeing that Kronos and Gner's eyes were on him, Sharf didn't beat around the bush and simply placed the two items on the Table in front of them.

"This is called Purification Revolver. It really took me a lot of effort. You'd better give me a good reward; the usual price doesn't match its effectiveness," Sharf said, pointing to the Revolver.

Kronos had considered this point. Beyonder Item are made with Beyonder Characteristic, so they can add power to external objects, which is why there are Beyonder Item like firearms.

Most ordinary Extraordinary Weapon are melee weapons because it is difficult to attach supernatural abilities to arrows or Bullet. Therefore, this Revolver must have taken a lot of effort from Sharf.

"The Purification Revolver can produce Holy Light Purification effect with ordinary Bullet. You're not lacking in melee combat ability. The revolver can increase your ranged attacks and also increase your means of dealing with some Wraith or Curse," Sharf said to Gner.

After hearing this, Gner liked it very much and picked up the Revolver, becoming quite fond of it.

Finally, Sharf said, "Ten months seems a little short, but that's all we can do."

Then, Sharf turned to Kronos, pointed to the leather bag on the table, and said, "The Disease Triangular Dagger, you can take it out and try it out first. If it's not comfortable to hold, I'll quickly reshape it for you. You can still use it tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Kronos picked up the leather bag on the Table, looked inside, and saw a black, three -Triangular Bayonet about forty centimeters long.

Kronos took the Triangular Bayonet out of his pouch, held it in his hand, and gently mimicked the Dagger movements he had learned from Gner.

Finally Kronos weighed the Triangular Bayonet in his hand and said, "Not bad. I've never used such a fierce weapon before. It feels pretty good."

Seeing that Kronos didn't offer any opinions, Sharf said, "I named this the Disease Triangular Dagger. I named it myself because it really took a lot of my effort. It's the first time I've crafted Beyonder Item of this caliber, and thankfully it was a success."

"This Triangular Bayonet has three abilities. The first is Extreme Speed. When wielding this Triangular Bayonet to launch an attack, the user's speed can be increased by fifty percent, not only in movement speed but also in attack speed."

"Secondly, there's the Demoness of Affliction's ability—disease. Anyone wounded by this Triangular Bayonet, even with the smallest cut, will develop a disease within their body. The speed at which the disease develops depends on the severity of the injury. If you can stab someone through the wound, they might die from the disease in a minute or two. But if it's just a small cut, they might not die from the disease for a whole day."

"Third, the Silk Entanglement. After you select your target and enter within three meters of them, it will create strange, almost invisible Thin Threads that wrap around the target, slowing them down and affecting their movements."

"Let me warn you beforehand, these are three abilities that I finally mastered with great difficulty, but the side effects are quite severe. As long as you possess them, they will trigger illnesses, in the following order: cough, fever, Severe Pneumonia, coma, and death. Each condition will last for four hours."

"What?!" Kronos was completely dumbfounded. "You call this Beyonder Item? This is Sealed Artifact!"

Sharf looked embarrassed. "It's not my fault. I only wanted to keep these three most useful skills from the beginning, but I didn't expect them to have such serious negative effects after being created."

Then he quickly added, "Look at that little leather pouch. I made it from the skin of Deep-Sea Illusion Fish. It can exempt you from the negative effects for a day, meaning you can wear this Disease Triangular Dagger all day without any side effects, and then it will start to cause coughing. It can be used for three months."

"If you have the skin of any extraordinary creature, you can show it to me. If you can make one of these leather bags, I'll make you a few, free of charge! Free of charge!"

Kronos was at a loss for words. This Triangular Bayonet was an extremely powerful and Beyonder Item. It could entangle enemies, Extreme Speed increase attack speed, and then apply disease as an additional status effect. It was a top-tier Assassination Weapon.

However, the negative effects were too severe. The patient developed Severe Pneumonia after only eight hours, and the fever was not a normal state either; only the cough was tolerable.

"He has a whole Evil-Patterned Black Panther, can we use it?" Even when the two were at an impasse, Gner still took the initiative to ask.

Sharf scratched his head and said, "I'm Savant Pathway, so I don't know much about this kind of thing. I don't know what this is, so I'll have to trouble you to bring it over so I can check it out."

"Alright, I'll bring it back for you to see when I get back." These words were also spoken by Gner. You might not believe it, but Genna has never seen this Kronos before; it has always been Gner who is in charge of storing it.

With things having come to this, Kronos had no choice but to think of a way to salvage the situation. So he asked Sharf, "How close does a person have to be to be considered carrying this Triangular Bayonet? And how long after it's removed from their person can they retrieve it and reassemble it?"

Speaking of this, Sharf perked up. "I tested those two issues you mentioned last night. Disease Triangular Dagger is more than 30 centimeters away from the body, it's not considered carrying it. So if you're carrying a bag, stuffing a lot of things inside, and putting the thorn on the outermost side, it doesn't count as carrying it."

"As for time, once your body recovers to a healthy state, the time will start counting from the beginning. However, illnesses require an equal amount of time to recover. For example, if you hold Triangular Bayonet for three hours and cough for three hours, you will continue to cough for another three hours after you put it down, and then you will be healthy."

Honestly, the more Sharf explained, the more Kronos felt that this thing was not suitable to be held in his hands, but should be sent to the Church so that the church personnel could seal and suppress it.

Seemingly sensing Kronos's thoughts, Sharf felt a little ashamed and, in a conciliatory manner, poured him a cup of tea and obediently placed it in front of him.

Kronos had no choice but to glare at him fiercely before taking the tea in front of him.

After all, there's the full-day exemption that comes with this leather bag, so it's still somewhat acceptable to carry it around and use it.

Now, hopefully the skin of the Evil-Patterned Black Panther can also be used here, so that Sharf can be forced to make him a hundred or so leather bags.

By using them one after another, the negative effects will be limited to battle. In that case, the coughing will only last for ten or twenty minutes, which is still within Kronos's acceptable range.

But if that skin is no longer usable, then its final resting place will surely be in the army's Storeroom or the basement of Church.
