These enchantments normally have no effect, only when the Finger Claw is damaged due to rebound while hitting an eggshell, do they activate, capturing the Magic Power flowing from the egg into the Finger Claw.
Almost all enchantments on the Finger Claw exist for the sole purpose of completing this final Forging process, possessing no advantages besides hardness itself, it can only be considered as a blank piece of Equipment.
No wonder this Finger Claw, despite being unsold, still has such high renown in the city.
Anyone knowledgeable would understand upon handling it that, though the conditions are laughably specific, this complex high-precision Enchantment could indeed achieve the effect envisioned by the designer.
But without satisfying the conditions, even the most genius design is nothing but an empty talk.
Moreover, the activation of these circuits is irreversible; there is only one chance.
If the hitting cannot be continuous, allowing the Finger Claw to repair itself before capturing enough Magic Power, the circuit cannot get fully activated under insufficient Magic Power, and the Forging will be a complete failure.
Realizing her mistake, but maintaining composure as cold as Frost, the Snow Woman did not panic, and seeing that her strike missed, she quickly reoriented and continued to punch the Hero egg successively.
[Third, Fourth, Fifth rounds]
3D109=(57)+(77✧)+(67)=201
[Snow Woman completed a series of continuous hits]
[Acquired a Forge Star, with a difference within 5, extra +30 Forging value, progress 263/500]
[Snow Woman takes 102 points of Rebound Damage]
[Snow Woman activates skill: Frost Formation Regeneration, HP+102/119, HP 87/87]
After her initial mistake, the Snow Woman continued punching without pause, her nature as a Frost Demon ensured her mindset was utterly unaffected by the error.
In her movements, she adjusted both posture and the force of her punches, her Finger Claw was swift and heavy, hitting decisively and rapidly against the Hero's eggshell, making a resounding clangor of metal on metal.
The rhythm of the hitting seemed to reach some rhythmic harmony, the Finger Claw and eggshell resonated suddenly, emitting a crisp, ringing sound.
Nonetheless, the Snow Woman simply furrowed her brows slightly, continuing the next round of blows without sadness or joy.
Each punch, if landed on a Goblin, would be enough for it to experience the sensation of disintegrating mid-flight; the force of the Rebound was enough to mince a human's intact arm.
Her arm cracked like shattered ice, then restored itself under the flow of magical energy.
Even though experiencing stimulation no human could fathom, the Snow Woman's expression did not waiver, once again swinging her iron fist.
After getting accustomed to the rhythm, her movements became meticulous like a machine, each punch was stable and swift, continuously striking the center of the eggshell.
And although the eggshell remained seamless without a single crack, the sensation of Magic Power being plundered was by no means pleasant.
However, feeling the snapping sounds emitting from the Snow Woman's sister's arms with each strike and her likewise depleting Magic Power, the Hero clenched his teeth tightly, silently enduring within the shell.
Whether it was the Hero enduring the hits or the Snow Woman who continued the assault, neither showed signs of change as if nothing had happened, only the constant glow of Frost and snow on her arms evidenced something.
[Sixth, Seventh, Eighth rounds]
3D109=(75)+(74)+(1)=150
[Snow Woman completed a series of continuous hits]
[Hit failed, Extreme Failure in striking! Forging value reduced by 50, progress 363/500]
[Snow Woman takes 51 points of Rebound Damage]
[Snow Woman activates skill: Frost Formation Regeneration, HP+51/36, HP 87/87]
[Hero's Luck (3 - Goblin distraction appears)]
The Forging proceeded in an orderly fashion.
Just as everyone was getting used to the rhythm, enduring and looking forward to the end, the Snow Woman's upper arm near the collarbone suddenly snapped with a fracture.
The next moment, under the impact of the Rebound, the bones near the Snow Woman's shoulder shattered like dropping glass, scattering like a cascade of ice crystals, and her entire arm drooped powerlessly.
The Gleaming Scale Serpent watching on the side flared up its Scales in shock, and the Hero perceived this and nearly jumped, the entire egg trembling incessantly.
But the Snow Woman clenched her teeth and shouted, immediately twisting her waist like a Dance, flinging her arm with its fractured bones, and with whip-like hardness, she managed to hit the eggshell with the Finger Claw.
Then, a strong glow of frost and snow enveloped her hands, firming up the limp arms once more, the Snow Woman as if dancing a relentless War Dance, kept the sound of striking bells echoing in the clear atmosphere.
[Acquired a Forge Star, with a difference of 10, Forging value +20, progress 418/500]
[Snow Woman takes 3 points of Rebound Damage]
[Snow Woman activates skill: Frost Formation Regeneration, HP+3/33, HP 87/87]
The Magic Power captured within the Finger Claw neared overflow; all circuits had started to operate; in the small indenture, golden-red light began to Bloom.
Realizing that Forging had reached its final stage, her gaze firm, the Snow Woman took a step forward and hammered both fists simultaneously onto the body of the Hero egg.
[Critical Success for Hero's Luck, the Forge Star's range this round is 30]
D100+30=d100(72)+30=102
D109+30=d109(109✧)+30=139
