Chapter 1407 Divine Weapon 3

Kuro stopped what he was doing and rubbed his throat.

Due to suppressing the flames for a long time, his throat had become hoarse and his voice was a little low.

"What should we do next?" Kuro asked, a hint of fatigue in his voice.

"The next step is the pounding," Vegapunk replied, his tone calm but firm.

"Why?" Kuro asked puzzledly, "I have already smelted these metals, can't I take a break?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. After all, the continuous work made him feel a little exhausted.

"Because the gravity hammer is not powerful enough," Vegapunk explained, "Look, even after heating up the black metal, we couldn't move it with the gravity hammer." As he spoke, he walked to the right side of the steel block and pointed at the black metal so that Kuro could see it clearly.

"So, no wonder you waited for me to come." Kuro was speechless, secretly complaining in his heart. He originally thought that these equipment would be useful after being delivered, but who knew that in the end it was all in vain.

Vegapunk seemed very calm. He just smiled slightly, then turned to look at Ryan, as if hinting at something.

Ryan understood what he meant and immediately produced two huge hammers, one of which he handed to Kuro.

"Captain, let me help you!" Ryan said enthusiastically.

"Okay!" Kuro agreed readily.

Kuro took a deep breath and then suddenly exhaled a ball of blazing flames, which fell rapidly onto the hard steel block like a meteor. In an instant, the surface of the steel block was burned red by the flames, as if it would melt in the next second.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Kuro and Ryan shouted in unison, and they both swung their hammers at the same time, smashing the steel block like a storm. The clanging sound of the hammers hitting the steel block was endless, echoing in this empty place.

With each violent impact, the steel block was gradually flattened, and then they quickly folded it up and continued to repeat the forging process.

In this way, the steel block was constantly deformed and reshaped under the hammering of the two men.

Vegapunk stood aside, carefully observing their operations and giving some pointers from time to time.

Under his guidance, Kuro and Ryan became more and more skilled and efficient.

Not long after, the originally extremely hard block of steel was finally successfully hammered out and turned into a flat and smooth steel plate.

"Okay, cut it open now, and you can use it to wrap the blade of the former Jabutsu Gohun later." Vegapunk said.

"Let me do it," Chloe volunteered.

He stretched out his palm, instantly transformed it into power, and then without hesitation, he slashed it hard at the steel block.

However, what was unexpected was that the extremely sharp claws only left a shallow mark on the surface of the steel block.

"So hard?!" Cloe looked at the block of iron in front of him with astonishment on his face and muttered to himself in disbelief.

His claws were extremely sharp and could easily tear steel, but at this moment they seemed so powerless in front of this piece of iron.

"This is too exaggerated." Cloe couldn't help but frown, secretly surprised. He widened his eyes and stared at the piece of iron in front of him, as if he wanted to see through it to see the secret hidden inside.

After a long while, Clo slowly raised his arm. He took a deep breath and then shouted loudly: "Holy Sword!"

As he shouted, a dazzling light suddenly shot out from his hand, cutting through the air like lightning and striking straight at the hard steel plate.

There was a crisp "swish" sound, and the steel plate actually cracked. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, without any burrs or flaws.

Cloe looked at the steel plate that he had easily cut, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He secretly sighed in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't embarrass myself."

"Well done, well done!" Kuro clapped excitedly, a satisfied smile on his face.

Seeing this, Kuro handed the steel plate in his hand to Kuro, and then asked: "Just put the Butu Yuhun between the two steel plates, right?"

Kuro took the steel plate, examined it carefully, nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. However, you still need to continue forging after clamping it."

Vegapunk, who was standing nearby, also echoed, "Yes, only through continuous forging can the Butu Yuhun and the steel plate be perfectly integrated to become a truly good sword."

"I understand. Let's continue, Ryan!" Kuro shouted enthusiastically.

"Okay, Captain!" Ryan responded, and then the two of them began to forge with fire together.

The blazing flames danced in their hands, and the scorching temperature made it impossible to get close.

However, Kuro and Ryan were not afraid. Kuro skillfully controlled the flames and sprayed them evenly on the steel plate.

As time goes by, the steel plate is gradually heated to a red hot state, and the impurities on the surface begin to melt by the high temperature.

Kuro and Ryan held sledgehammers and kept hammering on the steel plate, and each strike made a crisp sound.

Thanks to their efforts, large amounts of impurities were hammered out, and layers of oxide fell to the ground like snowflakes.

The originally black steel plate gradually revealed its metallic luster during the continuous forging.

Finally, after a period of hard forging, a nearly three-meter-long, black "knife" appeared in front of everyone.

Although it still looks a little rough, its general shape and outline can already be seen.

"This... isn't a knife, right?" Kuro widened his eyes, looking at the blade without an edge in front of him with suspicion, his tone full of doubt.

Ryan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and explained: "Of course not, this knife still needs further shaping and quenching. The next work needs to be completed by Vegapunk."

Ryan handed the knife to Vegapunk. However, Vegapunk obviously underestimated the weight of the blade. When he reached out to take it, he failed to catch it, and the blade fell to the ground with a clang.

"Isn't this too heavy?" Vegapunk exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing this, Kuro quickly leaned over to pick up the knife, then swung it lightly. With two "woosh" and "woosh" sounds, the blade cut through the air, making a crisp sound, as if it really had a sharp edge.

"Wow!" Vegapunk couldn't help but exclaim, "What a monster!"

Although Vegapunk was very surprised by the weight of the knife, he still adhered to the principle of not understanding but respecting, and did not say anything more. He just asked Kuro to help take the knife back to the laboratory so that he could continue the subsequent processing.

Back in the lab, Kuro carefully placed the knife on the workbench.

The black color of the blade contrasts nicely with the white color of the lab.

Vegapunk and his assistants gathered around and began to use various methods to "slim down" the blade.

They first measure the size of the blade with precision measuring tools, and then use special grinders and sandpaper to polish the blade bit by bit to remove excess material.

"By the way, Captain, do you have any ideas about the blade pattern later?" Vegapunk suddenly asked.

Kuro raised his head and looked at him with some confusion, "Can you do the blade pattern?"

"Of course we can," Vegapunk replied with a smile, "We can create a unique blade pattern for this sword according to your preferences. Do you have any favorites?"

Kuro thought about it and shook his head. "I haven't thought about this. Ryan, you guys can study it."

"Okay." Ryan agreed readily.

So, Ryan and other assistants began to concentrate on studying how to create the perfect blade pattern for the knife.

They carefully observed the lines and texture of the blade and discussed various possible designs.

Time passed minute by minute, with only the sound of slight polishing and occasional discussion in the laboratory.

Kuro stood quietly by the side, watching them work hard, with a surge of anticipation in his heart.

After working for more than three hours, the sky gradually darkened.

The light in the laboratory seemed a little dim, shining on the knife, reflecting a faint glow.

"Huh~" Vegapunk breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed a difficult task.

His eyes fell on the workbench. The originally dull charcoal knife had now been completely transformed, with the blade flashing with cold light and its sharpness exposed.

Ryan, the weapon master standing nearby, carefully examined the knife and couldn't help but exclaimed: "The correction is very accurate, Vegapunk, you really can do anything!"

Vegapunk smiled and said modestly, "No, no, I just learned a few more things. I also made some weapons for others before, so I have accumulated some experience."

At this time, Kuro came over and picked up the knife. He raised the knife above his head, and the light from above happened to hit the blade, and some subtle textures could be vaguely seen on the blade.

"Is this the blade pattern?" Kuro asked curiously.

Ryan shook his head and explained, "This is not a blade pattern, this is ground pattern. The blade pattern needs to be quenched before it can be fired."

Ryan took the knife, glanced at Enel, and said to everyone, "Let's go, it's time for Enel to play his role."

After saying that, Ryan turned around without hesitation and walked straight out the door. Seeing this, Kuro felt a little puzzled and instinctively wanted to follow him to find out what was going on.

However, just as he raised his foot, Ryan seemed to have sensed his intention, turned around suddenly, with a mysterious smile on his face, and said softly: "Captain, just wait here for a while, don't be impatient. When I come back, I will definitely give you a big surprise!"

Kuro heard this, although he was still full of doubts, he nodded and replied, "Okay."
