DxD: THE LEGENDARY TRAVELER WITH SYSTEM

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Ouroboros



When Zaydas showed the forge workshop to Ria and the rest, they were delighted.

"Zaydas, this looks amazing!" Ria said. "Now we can put our forging knowledge to use~"

"Yes~"

"By the way, can we invite Rafa and the others?" Rize asked.

Zaydas replied, "I made this for you all, do as you like."

Even the anvil he made was tough and durable, and there was a total of 20 of them.

Using magic for forging wasn't exactly conventional, so he made 10 furnaces.

As for the hammers... He used [Modeling] to adjust their size while embedding commands with [Program] along with the skill [Size Alteration]. With this, he created a total of 20 specialized hammers that could shrink and grow at their command.

"Zaydas, this is genius~!!"

"I'm glad you like it."

Apparently, the hammers were what impressed them the most.

Well, he himself thought he did a fine job.

'By the way, this gave me some ideas for a sword of my own…'

Although he had the [All-Purpose Farming Tool], he didn't want to rely on it for combat. He had trained with his father and specialized mainly in using swords and spears.

He didn't need a spear—though he said he wouldn't depend on the [All-Purpose Farming Tool], that applied to conventional tools; he still had a spear capable of taking down dragons. However, he still desired a sword.

'I like conventional swords, but I also like Odachi…'

The real problem was compressing and expanding the sword without making it fragile.

'For now, I'll make a sword by mixing magicula crystals.'

For this, he had the perfect ability to fuse Damascus steel with magicula crystals: [Degenerate].

[Degenerate] had two functions:

[Synthesis]: Transforms two different targets into a single object. It can be used to chain the effects of various abilities, giving the user new abilities with significantly less effort than would otherwise be required.

[Separation]: Extracts the inherent properties of a target and separates them. Examples include, but are not limited to: stripping a person of skill(s) (except those tied to their soul) and removing foreign objects—such as possessing entities or toxins—from the target's body.

What he intended to use now was precisely both functions: [Separation] to purify the steel and [Synthesis] to fuse the steel with magicula crystals.

Since he had no reason to hide it, he simply started doing it right in front of the elves.

They seemed surprised but refrained from making any noise so as not to disturb him.

The process was slower than he would have liked. However, the result was a large, silver sphere that glowed mystically.

The sphere was the size of a soccer ball.

The magicula crystal he used was predominantly green, so the emitted aura had the same color.

Using [Modeling] to shape the magical metal sphere, Zaydas formed it into a blade 200 cm long, with an additional 25 cm for the hilt.

At first, the initial 100 cm from the base of the blade was straight, but it gradually curved backward toward the tip. The blade itself looked cold while emitting a dangerous green aura. For the hilt, he used silk and steel threads to make it both comfortable and durable to grip.

Zaydas closed his eyes: 'Program start: whenever I say out loud or think, "Ouroboros, First Form," it will transform into a 120 cm sword. And, "Ouroboros, Second Form," the sword will grow into a 225 cm Odachi.'

To make this work, he had to embed the [Size Alteration] skill through [Program].

Finishing, he opened his eyes, and with the 225 cm Odachi in hand, he said: "Ouroboros, First Form."

At his command, the Odachi shrank, becoming a katana-style sword.

"So cool~" Ria and her sisters said as soon as he finished.

Smiling, he took a log of red wood from his personal subspace. It was a type of wood harder than iron but, at the same time, quite flexible. Using [Modeling], he created a sheath for the Katana. Preferably, he would keep the sword in its first form, so he saw no need to modify the sheath.

Zaydas didn't stay in the forge workshop for long. The elves were excited to start creating things, but they still decided to call their cousins, Rafa and the others.

In the field of corn, soybeans, and sorghum, he saw Tia with Asia and Rurushi.

Not far from them, the Infernal Wolves were lying on the ground near the golden fruit orchard.

'Are they standing guard to protect the orchard?'

"Zaydas-san~!" Asia spotted him and waved cheerfully.

Smiling, he approached. "I see you're working hard."

"Hehee~" Rurushi stuck out her tongue. She had promised to take it easy today, yet here she was.

Well… She wasn't weak, and after eating the soup he made and some golden fruits, she was basically good as new.

"Good morning, Zaydas. I hope you're having a good day." Tia greeted him politely.

"It's fine, you don't have to be so formal~" Zaydas waved. "By the way, Tia, are you enjoying this place? Do you plan on living with us?"

"Yes, this place is fantastic." She replied, "If you allows it, I would love to continue living here."

"Mm, feel free to stay." Zaydas smiled.

"Ahem, by the way, Darling Husband." Her face flushed when she said 'Darling Husband,' but she still continued, "With your ability, is it possible to grow medicinal herbs?"

"Yes, as long as I know the medicinal herb I want to plant… By the way, I have some here. Take a look and see if you want any of these." Zaydas created a magic circle and pulled out several medicinal herbs he had found in the Forest of Death.

The magic circles appeared in abundance. There were quite a lot of medicinal herbs he had collected so far and hadn't used yet.

"This… Wow!"

Not only Rurushi but Tia was also speechless.

It seemed that both of them recognized many of the medicinal herbs he had taken out, and some were quite rare.

"Darling Husband!" With shining eyes, Rurushi pointed to nine different medicinal herbs. "This one, this one, and this one… Can you grow all of them?"

"Alright, I'll do it right now." Zaydas replied, materializing a hoe.

Facing the vegetable garden and the fish nursery, there was an open area he had already cleared in case he wanted to expand the corn, soybean, and sorghum fields or plant something else. It was a good area, so he thought it would be a great idea to create a medicinal herb garden.

He planted 15 different species of medicinal herbs. In addition, he also expanded the corn, soybean, and sorghum fields.

In the late afternoon, Hiraku came to him and asked if he could build a mansion in the southeastern area of the village. Apparently, he wanted to have a place in case they received visitors.

Well, it was a simple task, and Hiraku had already gathered almost everything necessary for the construction, so Zaydas finished it in less than an hour. From constructing the mansion with 20 rooms to a huge reception hall that could also be used as a banquet hall.

Almost all the pipes, electrical wires, etc., that he had were used. Well, there was nothing to be done about it. In the end, he thought about getting more later. It wasn't a big deal.

Did Hiraku raise a flag?

By the end of that afternoon, the Infernal Wolves raised by Hiraku, mainly, brought with them 20 female elves.
