Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

(Planta's POV)

After talking all those things with Melisa and helping her feel better with herself, while giving her a promise to let her join my smithy and give her… Well, a better group of people to be with, the short break time ended, and all participants returned to their positions.

The fourth round was about to begin, and the soldiers were bringing the last set of materials, there was no blueprint or molds this time, which confused most of us. I mean, why weren't there the most basic and important of things present?

The announcer, referee, or whatever name he had, quickly stepped into the arena, pointing his hands at the participants and the piles of materials, and then at the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The fourth and last round of the spectacular Blacksmith Competition is about to begin! And this last challenge includes… Creating something unique, and never seen before!"

Wait, what?!

So we have to make something unique without any… blueprint, or mold, or indications?

Whatever imaginative thing we want, but it has to be our own thing, huh?

Are there any rules? Or just anything.

I suppose making anything like the previous ones is a big no-no anyways, who would be so unoriginal?

Everyone here is smart, so they should have guessed that scratching those was a smart idea, more of the same would make the rulers get bored.

"Wait, that's it? Isn't that too vague?" wondered Horshen.

Yeah, I kind of agree with him.

"Whatever we want, as long as its unique? Hmm…" Erdragon rubbed his scaled chin. "I suppose we can't do any of the things from previous rounds, yes?"

"You can do whatever you want, it includes previous rounds as well!" said the announcer.

"Hoh, I suppose I'll still ignore them, more of the same would make our rulers get quite bored, if anything…" Erdragon laughed. "Now this has become quite interesting!"

"Yeah, pretty amusing and interesting!" Goldanaba smiled, her aura of gold surging from her body, as her golden hammer materialized several spirits made of liquid gold-like essence. "Are you guys ready for the last round? Let's steal first place from that Dryad lady already!"

Haha, I guess she should do her best then!

"The last round is quite confusing…" said Melisa. "But I'll try to do my best, without cheating…"

"Do your best, yeah!" I nodded, as we spoke through telepathy. "Make something incredible to surprise everyone."

She nodded, looking rather decided.

"So this is the last round, huh?" I said, looking at Mark and Ambil. "Alright! Are you guys ready? What should we do then?"

"More or less, not like we can help it!" said Ambil. "But what do we even do now? We got an hour like always, right?"

"Yeah they just said that it's the same as before in that regard, we'll have to hurry," said Mark. "Any ideas, Elayne?"

"Hmm…" I wondered. "I honestly have little ideas right now… After four rounds I am quite tired."

"Hah, I guess it can't be helped, we've done a lot," said Mark. "Every time we had to reinvent ourselves, it does gets tiring."

"Hmmm…" Ambil smiled. "Then let's do my idea for once, shall we?"

"What do you have in mind?" I wondered.

"Heh, I have something in mind, check this," he threw a blueprint into the table.

It showed what resembled something very familiar to us, it was long and also full of little things, it was also capable of working on its own, and had many functions.

Above all, it could only be made using my powers combined into them, and Titan too. The reason why Ambil had not done it on his own was because it was specifically designed to be made using our powers.

"Okay, I think I like the idea!" I nodded.

"So, we're doing it?" Ambil asked.

"Yeah, sure, I mean… if you really need our strength, we have to help anyways!" Mark said.

"Then let's start. Get smelting all those ores. Black Steel, White Silver, Brown Gold, Red Gold, and also that one Spirit Stones, crush them and mix them together." Said Ambil. "I got some damn inspiration right now, so work hard!"

"Yes boss!"

Both Mark and I worked hard, quickly doing everything the old blacksmith demanded. He had been so good with us that he deserved to be treated like the master he was.

After fusing and synthetizing the metals with the spirit stones, we carved a giant mold out of black stone given to us, capable of withstanding tremendous temperatures without breaking.

After that, we moved to the other materials, as we poured the molten synthetized mass of metal and spirit stones into the mold, which quickly took shape.

We made several other molds for the other parts of the creation, placing this metal into it while imbuing it with our spiritual energies and spirit infusions.

It was needed for everything to work 100%, or nothing would work out.

After that, more parts were made, and we quickly started making the little parts too, composed of spirit stones and monster magic cores.

They took beautiful shapes, and although it seemed as if it were all visual, they had a greater purpose than beauty.

"Alright, all done here, let's quickly glue things together!" he said, taking out some flames to weld things together.

As we did, one of my Yggdrasil Clones began imprinting the magic runes he had asked me to do, while he also did his own, pretty much multi-tasking while doing everything.

Time was tickling, and only ten minutes were left.

CLANK!

CLANK!

CLANK!

He began giving it the last touches with his hammer, I also did the same. Imbuing into the creation all of our heart and passion as crafters.

My boyfriend also did the same, his spiritual beast powers transforming the entire creation.

For the first time ever, we felt truly connected as friends and craftsmen, our passion and our hearts unified by the flames of the smithy.

Until finally, the last touch.

"Connect everything together and breathe life into our creation…"

"{Spiritual Blessing}!"

FLAAASH!
