[Golem Synergy Network (Utility Skill)]

[Summon Elemental Golem (Conditional Active Skill) Lv. 1]

[Golem Core Forging (Production Skill)]

[Elemental Command Slots (Utility Skill) Lv. 1]

[Elemental Forge Storage (Utility Skill) Lv. 1]

[Golem Frame Construction (Production Skill) Lv. 1]

[Elemental Blueprint Synthesis (Production Skill) Lv. 1]

There were seven skills listed under the Elemental Forger class, and Broken decided to tackle them in order of complexity, starting with the easiest to understand and test.

The first skill was:

[Golem Synergy Network (Utility Skill)]

[Link multiple active golems into a network for coordinated attacks, defensive formations, or joint abilities.]

This skill was straightforward in concept. It allowed him to group certain golems into a cohesive unit, enabling them to work together more effectively. The coordination made it easier to control the golems, streamlining their actions and ensuring they functioned as a team rather than as separate entities.

The skill also directly connected to the second skill, which built on this synergy.

[Summon Elemental Golem (Conditional Active Skill) Lv. 1]

[Summon golems across great distances, even from different realms, provided they are within the same area or Synergy Network.

Mana Cost per Golem: 100 Mana

Cooldown: 24 hours.]

This was the skill Broken had used back then to summon Blackthorn into Gremory's Trial Domain.

The skill was impressive because of its capacity to summon multiple golems at once, as long as they were either in the same physical area or connected through the Golem Synergy Network.

What set this skill apart was its remarkable synergy with Blackthorn, a golem designed to carry others within its very structure.

This combination had been nothing short of game-breaking during Gremory's Trial Domain. By summoning Blackthorn with a person inside, Broken had effectively bypassed one of the domain's core restrictions.

Ordinarily, transporting a person between realms was a feat of rare and extraordinary power. Yet, through the seamless interaction of Summon Elemental Golem and Blackthorn, Broken accomplished this with ease.

Thanks to these extraordinary skills, he successfully summoned Blackthorn along with Ivana to Hell itself. The occurrence unfolded across two worlds, making it a truly magnificent and momentous event!

Broken took a deep breath before diving into the core of the Elemental Forger class-the foundational steps of Golem Creation.

The first and most essential item in the process was the Golem Core.

Simply put, a Golem Core was like a battery. However, it did more than just power the golem and bring it to life—it also played a crucial role in shaping its skills, efficiency, and overall performance.

Imagine a golem as a toy robot-it wouldn't move or function without its battery. For the golem, that battery was the Golem Core.

[Golem Core Forging (Production Skill)]

[Forge Golem Cores from materials like Monster Cores or Monster Soul Stones. The synergy between the elemental properties of the materials and the intended golem's design enhances resource efficiency and overall performance. Proper alignment of materials and golem traits increases durability, adaptability, and combat capabilities.]

This skill was straightforward in concept. It allowed Broken to create Golem Cores using resources such as Monster Cores or Monster Soul Stones.

He decided to experiment by converting some of the Monster Cores in his inventory into Golem Cores. However, he quickly noticed a significant issue: in most cases, the grade of the core would drop during the conversion process.

Out of five attempts, only one managed to retain its original grade.

It seemed that using Monster Cores was still a viable option for crafting Golem Cores, but the process wasn't without its challenges.

The real difficulty, however, lay in obtaining Monster Cores with elements that matched the specific needs of the golem. To truly optimize a golem's performance, elemental alignment was crucial.

This won't be easy.

The Elemental Forger class was highly demanding, requiring substantial time and resources to meet its complexity requirements.

It made sense now why he had delayed diving into this class. Unlocking its full potential required meticulous planning, careful material gathering, and a lot of time-luxuries he didn't always have.

He let out a small laugh, suddenly entertaining an absurd thought.

If only I could split myself in two...

His mind wandered briefly to Charmelyn, whose blessing allowed her to create duplicates of

herself.

Could such a blessing enable him to work on blacksmithing and other tasks simultaneously?

But then he chuckled again, shaking his head. Even Charmelyn's duplicates were limited-she could only control one body at a time.

"Not so practical after all," he mused, turning his focus back to the task at hand.

Broken shared the skills information with Aerin, who seemed just as intrigued as he was while reading through the details.

"Try using a Monster Soul Stone," she suggested.

Looking through his inventory, Broken decided to test her suggestion with an Epic-grade Thornmantis Lv. 205. It seemed like a decent candidate for experimentation.

[Golem Core Forging (Production Skill) activated]

[Convert Epic-grade Thornmantis Monster Soul Stone Lv. 205 into Golem Core?]

He selected "Yes."

[Conversion successful.]

[You have obtained a Unique-grade Thornmantis Monster Lv. 205 Golem Core.]

"Wow!"

"Did it work?"

"Yes," Broken confirmed with a grin. "It became a Unique-grade Golem Core!"

"Does that mean the grade always goes up if you use a Monster Soul Stone?"

Broken shook his head, sighing lightly. "I doubt it. I think the results are still random. But...

it's possible that using a Monster Soul Stone might give the Golem Core special traits tied to

the original monster."

Aerin nodded. "The potential of a Monster Soul Stone is impressive, but the value is

incredibly high..."

"Exactly," Broken agreed. "Considering how valuable they are, it feels like a steep cost for crafting Golem Cores unless it's for something truly exceptional."

[Elemental Command Slots (Utility Skill) Lv. 1]

[Manage the number of active golems you can control simultaneously. Active golems respond

to commands and perform tasks, while dormant golems remain inactive in the Elemental

Forge Storage.]

[Control 2 active golems.]Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The next skill was fairly straightforward. At Level 1, Broken could control up to two active

golems simultaneously.

With Blackthorn already filling one of those slots as a Legendary-grade golem, he didn't feel

pressured to rush.

Blackthorn's versatility and power made it an ideal primary golem, so he could take his time experimenting to create a second golem that either complemented Blackthorn's abilities or served a completely different purpose, such as support, utility, or scouting.

"You can construct multiple golems at once and only activate the ones you need," Aerin

remarked.

Broken nodded. "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing."

"Got any ideas?"

"Not much," Broken admitted. "More like ways to deal with problems I'm too lazy to face-

like boring long-distance travel... or having to stay in one place for blacksmithing."

Aerin smiled knowingly. "Then why not create a mobile blacksmith workshop? That way, you

can travel long distances and still get your work done."

"That's a really fun idea! Let's see if it's something I can actually make happen."

With that, it was time to move on to the next skill.
