After finalizing the division of labor with the Gleaming Scale Serpent, she inadvertently discovered a Finger Claw in the Hero's luggage. The Snow Woman's eyes narrowed, her mouth slightly agape.
"This Finger Claw, could it be..."
Shocked to find the Enchanted Claw in the luggage, the Snow Woman picked it up in amazement.
After a quick inspection, she confirmed she hadn't seen wrong and then inquired aloud.
"Is this the famous Enchanted Claw? Miss Hero, did you buy it?"
If someone were to ask the name of that equipment store, even customers who had shopped there might struggle to recall it, but if you mention "the shop with that Claw," even those who have never visited would nod and smile in recognition.
Compared to the store itself, its equipment was more famous, just how it was.
Suddenly realizing something, the Snow Woman's gaze shifted between the Hero and the Finger Claw.
"Miss Hero, did you buy this Finger Claw because of your current form?"
The Snow Woman couldn't help but cover her mouth, while the Hero nodded in affirmation.
"—I understand, Miss Hero, I have nothing to repay you for your gift."
After receiving the reply, the Snow Woman nodded, her expression solemn as she made a decision.
"In that case, let me help you complete this Finger Claw."
However, the Snow Woman's profession was a Shooter, so how could she help the Hero with the forging?

[Skill: Frost Formation Regeneration LV]
"This humble woman would like to offer her modest assistance."
After organizing the Hero's luggage, the Snow Woman put on the Finger Claw and looked solemnly at the egg lifted by the ice pillar.
The reason the Demon Species weren't accepted by society wasn't primarily due to their appearances, for many Subhuman Species also look vastly different from Humankind.
It was because the Demon inherently possessed abilities akin to Magic Creatures.
Usually, if a human's arm was severed and didn't receive timely Healing Magic, it would essentially be crippling.
Yet, for the Snow Woman born in the frost, she only needed to hydrate and expend a certain amount of Magic Power to heal most injuries that would cripple ordinary humans.
Their innate affinity with the Ice Element allowed them to reshape their wounded bodies in this unique manner.
In some sense, this shared a similarity with the Hero's Beast Spirit Embodiment's Etheric body, the difference being the Hero's transformation was entirely composed of Magic Power, while the Demon remained flesh and blood.
When the Snow Woman advanced to a higher tier, this trait might evolve into complete elementalization, a high-tier skill even many legendary mages couldn't master.
Though the Snow Woman hadn't reached the point of elementalization yet, she was confident in completing this forging using the Frost Formation Regeneration ability.
At that moment, amidst the pervasive cold air, the Gleaming Scale Serpent nervously observed the Snow Woman who was fully prepared.
Despite the Hero's own anxiety, as she was currently just an egg, it was impossible to tell her nerves from her appearance.
"Then, here I go, Miss Hero!"
[Special Event: Enchanted Forging]
Each round, make an assessment of "Forging value" and "Hit Value."
When the Snow Woman's Hit Value comes within 10+- of the Forging value interval, she gains a forging bonus (Forge Star), affecting the final product's enchantment effect.
Hitting the Phoenix Egg causes the Snow Woman to receive (output - 25) rebound damage.
The more hits, the more Magic Power the Hero consumes.
When the total Hit Value exceeds 500, the forging succeeds.
If the Snow Woman's Constitution falls below 10, forging fails. (Note: she will not die)
