Two hours later, Roy finally took action.
He also entered the material storage of the Hephaestus Familia and selected some auxiliary materials, while the main materials had long been prepared.
They were Diarmuid's "Gáe Dearg" and "Gáe Buidhe." Back in Orario, Roy had already melted down these two spears, but lacking inspiration for equipment, they had been left lying in his spatial ring.
Mithril, orichalcum, quenching oil, blood dragon scales... The material storage of the Hephaestus Familia was stocked with a dazzling array of resources, and even rare ores were present in limited quantities. Roy could only marvel at the wealth of this world's largest forging Familia—truly rich enough to rival a kingdom.
Roy didn't take anything recklessly; he'd have to pay for it later.
He only took the necessary materials, returned to his own workstation, placed the auxiliary materials down, and then produced two rectangular ores from his hand, one red and one yellow.
Even the goddess Hephaestus couldn't help but be drawn to the two stones, sensing two distinct and unique forces emanating from them.
Roy tossed the two ores into the furnace.
While waiting for them to heat up, he processed the auxiliary materials and glanced over at the situation of Tsubaki Collbrande and Welf. They were already immersed in their work, forging with fiery intensity.
Under the scorching heat, Tsubaki Collbrande was covered in a fragrant sheen of sweat, a look of excitement on her face as her hammer fell like raindrops upon the red-hot material.
Welf was also handling the scrap materials. Noticing Roy's gaze, he gritted his teeth and silently reaffirmed his resolve. "We'll win!"
"Huff!"
Moments later, Roy retracted his gaze and took a deep breath. There were still seven and a half hours left, but the sense of urgency in his heart transformed into his terrifying efficiency.
At that moment, Roy's expression turned serious, his eyes shining as brightly as the sun.
Using a pair of tongs, Roy retrieved the red-hot "Gáe Dearg" iron block, secured it, and brought down his hammer.
Clang!!
The collision between the hammer and the iron block produced a sharp, penetrating sound that vibrated through everyone's eardrums. The sound waves seemed to materialize into visible ripples, spreading outward and even drowning out the noise of tens of thousands of voices.
Everyone's hearts felt as if they had been struck heavily, goosebumps rising all over their bodies.
The surroundings gradually quieted down, falling into complete silence.
All eyes were fixed on the figure of that young boy, as if he alone remained in the world.
Tsubaki Collbrande and Welf, who were in the midst of forging, halted their movements, their attention drawn over.
Their pupils instantly widened.
Welf swallowed hard. What a monster!
On the day he joined the Hephaestus Familia, Goddess Hephaestus herself had forged a piece of equipment in front of Welf, ultimately winning him over completely.
Now, Welf seemed to see the shadow of a god in Roy—every movement carried a trace of divine elegance, natural and flawless.
It was hard to believe. Could he have already touched the legendary "Realm of the Gods"?
Welf had already realized he was merely the assistant. Although he had felt a bit dissatisfied earlier, now, he could only feel relieved. If he were alone, his chances of defeating Roy were zero, no doubt about it!
