Chapter 3348 A Forgemaster's Pride (Part 1)

"Why don't you too give it a try, Tista?" Lith lent her the Master Hands. "Solus used the whole Set under Ripha's guidance while escaping from the World Tree and I have her memories. Also, I can always ask Ripha's guidance later."

"Damn cheat." Tista grumbled. "But thanks, lil bro."

Menadion helped them to conjure their first Nova Spell and then taught the two women how to use the Hands to keep it stable indefinitely without it affecting their focus.

While Tista and Faluel practiced with the artifacts, Lith and Solus used the Eyes to record the data of the failed attempts of their friends in order to not repeat the same mistakes during their own practice.

'You are an asshole. You know that, right?' Solus said via the mind link.

I'm pragmatic. Lith replied. This way we are all training and no one has to sit idly waiting for their turn.'

'Nice save.' She grunted. I hoped that recovering the Ears would lessen the strain from using the Eyes but studying a complex artifact still gives us a headache!'

'Either we are still missing a few floors holding crucial sections of the Eyes' power core or it might be a safety measure Ripha set to keep the apprentices authorized to use the Eyes from studying her tower and the other pieces of the Set.'

'Good point. Solus telepathically nodded. 'If it really is a safety measure, we can ask Mom how to disable it.'

"I'd say this covers the basics of the unlocked Hands." Menadion extended her hand toward Tista who gave her the Mouth. "You can practice the rest on your own. Now let's move on to the most. Forgemastering-oriented piece of the set.

"The Mouth of Menadion."

"Wait, what?" Tista asked in confusion. "I know it can be used to store spells, change arrays during the enchanting process, and act as a second body casting, but how is it better than the Hands or the Ears?"

"The Ears are the best piece of the Set for the preparatory phase, no doubt about that. During the actual Forgemastering, however, there isn't much it can do." Menadion replied. "As for the I lands, they can fuel your Forgemastering circle and wave two Tower Tier enchantments, but that's it.

"The Mouth, instead..." She wore the pristine white mask and spread her arms out. Countless runes filled the air as Menadion conjured one spell after another. The tribal tattoos covering the Mouth turned into luminous strings of runes that remained active even after the spell they belonged to was completed.

Then, Menadion used the runes in the air and those on the mask to assemble a power core comprised of over ten pseudo cores in one move. Much to everyone's surprise, she didn't conjure the pseudo cores one by one and then fuse them into the power core.

She weaved them straight into the power core. Not a holographic one like those Lith used to check the stability and positioning of rune patterns before performing an experiment but a real power core ready to be imbued into an artifact.

The blue sphere of light crackled from time to time, a sign that something was off. Menadion studied the source of the sparks with Life Vision for a while and then split the sphere back into runes.

She changed those she had identified as problematic with others and repeated the process until the power core was perfectly stable.

"What's that?" Solus asked in amazement.
