Chapter 670: Bat of the Yin and Yang Dragons

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Dirmon and Eisen stopped in front of a particular area within the material storage. In general, there was all the wood that one might need here, in every shape and size that you could think of, in of course every single type of wood there was, but somehow this area seemed to be even larger and more important than all of the others.

The wood had a light-brown color and a quite beautiful grain in combination with that color. There were huge blocks or small planks of this material. Rather curious, Eisen grabbed one of the smaller pieces of wood, and was surprised when he did so. And that was because the wood seemed close to weightless.

At first Eisen was so confused that he thought maybe his strength stat suddenly doubled, but that wasn't the case. Rather, the wood really was just that impossibly light. Eisen raised his head and looked at Dirmon, who already expected this sort of question, "Aye, that be why we're usin' this wood. It's incredibly strong when it's been 'approved' by us, but now it really is quite easy to carve or cut up. It's light, but we can add a lil' bit of weight to it when we finish the item. And even the color and grain can change a bit when we finish up, just naturally without any paint."

Eisen leaned forward and looked at the wood a bit more closely, "And this was something created by me and Jyuuk in collaboration?" The old man asked. Dirmon immediately nodded his head, "Aye, ye made it as a present for Silmos. Hence, ya called it Silmwood as well. One of the best materials I ever worked with, if not the best."

After Dirmon's explanation, Eisen slowly looked back at the wood and ran his fingers over its surface. It did seem pretty interesting, and there was a surprising amount of natural mana imbued into it. That made the old man wonder about something else as well.

"Is there a magic version of this material as well?" The old man inquired, and Dirmon slightly smirked as he nodded his head instantly, "Aye, of course there is!"

With a broad smile on his face, Dirmon led Eisen through the storage area, until Eisen could practically feel the whole aura of the space change. With his truth-seeing eyes, he was able to see that this now was the area that held all of the different magic woods that would be used for staffs and wands. And soon, the old man saw what seemed to be the magic version of the special wood that he saw just now.

Largely, it seemed to have similar properties to that wood before, just that the amount of magic that could flow through it was surreally high. With a a curious smile, the old man turned over toward the lesser god next to him, "Are you sure that I can take some of these?" He asked, and Dirmon immediately nodded his head.

"Aye, 'course you can. Knock yerself out!" Dirmon exclaimed with a loud laugh, and Eisen didn't hesitate to follow up on that. He opened his item storage and placed a couple of blocks and planks of this special, magical wood into it. And then, the old man of course headed over toward the 'normal' version of this wood, although there was actually nothing really normal about it in the first place. He grabbed some of them and closed his item storage again, before he headed back out of the storage area altogether.

And then, Eisen stood in front of the workstation that Dirmon allowed him to work at, and opened his item storage again. He waved his hand to the side and summoned his elemental spirit, who quickly got to work on grabbing all of the things that Eisen would need for him while the old man took Bai out of his item storage.

The moment that Eisen got his hands on the special Silmwood, he ran Bai in its knife-form over its surface. To begin with, Eisen figure he should make a small item that was completely made of wood, to for one get used to this material properly, and to also get that part out of the way for the quest that he was given when he entered this realm.

And in the end, Eisen chose something rather simple to make with it, and it was just a simple bat. A baseball bat. It seemed like it would be useful as a weapon for some people, and if he didn't have any sort of actual use for it himself, he could always give this to Brody and let him use it when Eisen got back to the mortal realm. At the very least that Demon-Orc should be able to make use of a baseball bat properly in a fight.

Of course, for this, Eisen started by just creating the rough shape with Bai's help, and then placed the piece of wood into a lathe so that he could rather easily get this done. The Lathe started spinning around rather quickly, and Eisen used Bai to carve it into the right shape, albeit maybe still a slight bit too thick because of what the old man wanted to do next.

For one, he took the bat out of the lathe and proceeded to quickly clean up the sawdust that was stuck to it. And then, the old man sat down on a stool and started to carve into the bat again. It seemed a bit too simple to just create a regular bat like that, so Eisen thought he should make it at least a little bit more interesting.

The old man looked down at the wood and slowly thought about what he should carve into it. If this was supposed to be an item that he would give to Brody, maybe he should theme it in that way as well. Maybe give it something like a yin-yang vibe.

Eisen thought about it for a little bit, and then chose to go for exactly that. And since this would be made for Brody, Eisen also didn't need to put any enchantments onto it. After all, Brody didn't have any mana to activate them in the first place.

And so, the old man quickly created a visualization right in front of him to figure out the rough shape of the carvings he would put onto the bat. In the end, he chose something that was only vaguely based on yin and yang. Actually, he wanted to make soemthing similar to the paintbrush that he created in Trygan's realm.

Two Chinese Dragons, one black and one white, intertwining with each other and meeting at the tip of the bat. The old man slowly pushed the edge of his knife against the wood and started to carve without a moment's hesitation. The small splinters of wood fell to the ground as the old man worked and carved the bat into the shape that he wanted it to be incredibly quickly.

It didn't take long for Eisen to finish with this either, and then, he got a pretty good idea of what else he could do to maybe make this a special item for Brody after all. The old man hollowed out the bodies of the dragons. He didn't just create a single hollow space in the bat, of course, but it was as if he created the throat and insides of the dragons' bodies.

For this, he even went so far as to carve individual teeth for the two dragons, trying to make them seem as alive as absolutely possible. And soon, he managed to do just that. The two dragons seemed alive, just frozen in time. Hopefully, they would end up looking a bit more alive when Brody actually used this in the way that the old man intended.

He held the bat in his hand for a moment and felt the tails of the two dragons slowly wrap around his fingers, just like he intended, and then ran his fingers over the wood. All that Eisen had to do now was paint it properly to make sure the bat was protected from the elements.

Eisen looked toward his elemental spirit, who had already gotten out Eisen's own painting-tools together with the item that Eisen made to create the paint for him with Evalia's element. He grabbed the first, larger brush, and dunked it into a bit of special white metallic paint. So that it wouldn't clump together, Eisen of course had to apply multiple layers of this, and he quickly got started with the first one and waited for it to dry. Here, this happened rather quickly. After just a few minutes, the bat was ready for Eisen to apply the next layer to it.

Soon, the old man finished painting the bat in the slightly shining colors. Of course, the metallic paint was mainly added to make the bat hold a bit more force when Brody used it to smack someone over the head. And now, Eisen was done with this item.

[Bat of the Yin- and Yang-Dragons]

[Rank – 6][Quality – Perfect]

[Description] A wooden bat made by the Godly Craftsmaster Eisen. It was made using the special Silmwood from the Divine Realm of the God of Craftsmanship Silmos. It takes the shape of two intertwining dragons, one representing the calm Yang and one representing the fiery Yin. Their hollow interior was added so that certain Martial Arts Techniques could be fully made use of.

It is overflowing with the God of Craftsmanship's Holy Aura, as it was made in his Divine Realm.

[Effect] +150 STR, +150 AGI, +100 END, +25% Benefit to Yin-Yang Martial Arts; < Breath of Yin > Trait, < Breath of Yang > Trait, < God of Craftsmanship's Holy Aura > Trait

[Requirements] < Original of Combat > Title

Eisen ran his hands over the smooth surface of the bat with a smile on his face as he looked at the high-quality effects that were mainly made possible due to the requirement that literally only one being in this world held. That meant that, including Eisen, there were only two people that could wield this, and there was only one person that could truly make use of this.

Brody, who, instead of a magical element, had Yin and Yang energy. This bat was something that Eisen made, inspired by the time he saw Brody's body become infused with those two energies during a fight. Surely, the < Breath of Yin > and the < Breath of Yang > traits were created through that sentiment, and were something that only Brody would be able to make use of while he was in that form.

With a curious smile on his face, excited to see the Demon-Orc wield this bat sometime, the old man placed the finished item into his item storage.
