This novel, with 2.7 million characters, has concluded on this site, and updates were stable. (Ratings have just come out and are still rising.)
The simulator does not suppress combat power, ...
As expected, strange patterns appeared on the metal ingot.
To ensure that the Heartfire had an effect on forging, and to maximize that effect, Evan added a process of melting and recasting metal ingots with the Heartfire.
"Great, let's try again and see if we can make even more changes..."
The finished metal ingots are once again thrown into the hearth, heated to melt, shaped and cooled.
However, this time when it was taken out of the pool, no further changes were observed.
"Is this the limit? Or is there theoretically more room for improvement, but my inner fire power is insufficient?"
His Heartfire was still evolving, Evan thought, perhaps the enhanced version of Heartfire could better modify metals in the future, but for now it should have reached its limit.
"Then let's get started. There's enough metal."
This time, the weapon being forged is a long spear. Because Evan's physical abilities have been continuously enhanced, surpassing most Homeguards, the weapon he will use will be heavier and larger.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
Rapid hammering sounds came from the forging room. Holding a forging hammer, Evan heated the metal red-hot with the proper heat of his heart fire, and then shaped the material in the direction he wanted by hammering.
This time, the forging process was the same as before, but Evan keenly sensed that the feedback from striking the metal was different.
"clang……"
With a single blow, the red-hot metal structure changed. Evan raised the hammer again, feeling the force of that blow.
If we compare a regular metal ingot to a panting cat, then forging is like petting that cat. You need to understand the cat's feelings; if you don't use the right force and direction, the cat will enter a panting state, which is then a state of enhanced basic attacks.
The metal, now reshaped by the fire of the heart, is like a cat that has been fed and is used to its presence. After you pet its chin, it will roll over and let you pet its belly. It is very docile.
It responds to itself, cooperates with its own forging, and there seems to be some kind of resonance between the two.
The transformation of the metal ingot by the Heartfire Reforging had reached its limit, but with Evan's hammering, it seemed that even more Heartfire power was being incorporated into it through the forging process.
That feeling of resonance became increasingly apparent.
"So, does the power of the heart fire truly endow metals with certain properties related to the 'heart'?"
No, it's not entirely certain yet. We need to continue forging until the finished product is ready before making a final decision.
Thanks to Evan's physique and the cooperation of the Heartfire, this forging process quickly reached its final stage.
"Come on, it's the final moment..."
He manipulated the inner fire to erupt once more, completely enveloping the metal, attempting to inject the maximum power of the inner fire into the spearhead, and finally, cooled it down.
"Sizzle..."
White smoke rose from the pool, and Evan used clips to take the nozzle out of the water and examine it in his hand.
It has a completely different appearance from the original metal ingot or the regular spearhead. It has lost the color of metal and instead turned into the golden-red color of the previous Heartfire pattern, and it has a bit of a translucent glass feel.
If Evan were to show the gun head to other people, they would never guess that just a few minutes ago it was a regular metal ingot.
"An incredible change."
