Overgeared

TL NOTE: I'm going to put this at the top of the chapter because apparently people don't read notes at the bottom. PEOPLE, READ THE TRANSLATOR'S THOUGHTS AT THE BOTTOM!!! I know that most of the time the information is the same, but I do provide important information down there, especially if I miss more than two days in a row. You know, maybe if you read the thoughts at the bottom then I wouldn't have to come back from a busy and tiring Easter, filled with four days of constant church (urgh), to be accused of not giving people a heads up, when I clearly did.

Speaking of which, I never promised a set schedule of 3 chapters a day except Sunday. I only promised 20 chapters a week and I have mostly always kept that promise. I like posting regularly because it is better for both me and my patrons to get their money's worth. However, that is sometimes impossible now with my current schedule. I work in a hospital, which means I can work anywhere between 8~12 hours a day. After a long 12 hour shift, I am not going to have the energy to post chapters or even put a note saying I'm not posting chapters. That is why I will only give a warning if I know I'm gonna miss more than one day. One day= No note.

In any case, I won't be able to post all the chapters owed for this week today. Expect extra chapters next week.

‘Hammer?’

The main weapon that Grid focused on was a sword. Braham had expected Grid to create a sword. But a hammer? Grid explained to the confused Braham, "First of all, blunt weapons have a high accuracy.”

A blunt weapon could strike the enemy in every manner. There was no need to try to attack with one side like a sword or spear. In other words, it was very easy to use and the system guaranteed a high accuracy.

‘Certainly, it fits your purpose of making a weapon with high accuracy. But aren’t there obvious limitations to weapons that are easy to use?’

A blunt weapon was subject to the law of inertia because its center of gravity was to one side. It was to maximize the power, but the opportunities rarely came. In the course of attacking, evading, and counterattacking, weapons with weight focused on one side often acted as a poison. It was especially bad if the enemy was more skilled in fighting.

‘It’s difficult to find an opportunity to use the weight and can also lead to a loss in the center of gravity. Basically, it means the balance is a mess. Think about the reason why most people use a sword as a weapon. The sword is perfect in all aspects of offense and defense...’

"Hey, don’t you know a lot about weapons for a magician?”

He was like someone who collected all knowledge.

"That's right. A blunt weapon has many disadvantages. Compared to commonly used weapons like swords and spears, the balance is bad, and above all, the attack power is weak.”

Most people thought that a blunt weapon was stronger than a sword. Systematically, the maximum attack power was much higher than a sword’s. But that was the maximum attack power. In other words, it was a story for when the weight was used well.

A blunt weapon had the advantage of being able to hit the enemy on all sides, but it couldn’t ‘stab’ or ‘cut.’ Of course, it would be a different story if a blade was attached. However, that would weaken the unique advantage of a blunt weapon. It meant it was difficult to deal a fatal blow to enemies with high defense. The probability of applying the minimum attack power rather than the maximum attack power was overwhelmingly high.

“Don’t forget. I’m a legendary blacksmith, and the God Hands are artifacts made by literally modelling my hands.”

For a blacksmith, hammers were the best tool.

"I can see the pros and cons of a hammer, and it’s the ideal weapon for the God Hands."

Of course, Grid didn’t want to use it directly. In terms of balance, it was true that a sword was much better. In particular, when fighting someone of an equal ability, the use of a blunt weapon would likely fail. But wasn’t Grid planning to make a God Hands only weapon? The God Hands had infinite durability. They didn’t need to fear the enemy’s counterattack. They could ignore whatever the enemy was doing and just hit.

“Also.”

He wanted to improve the efficiency of the Item Combination skill, which was difficult to use in actual combat. That’s right. Grid wanted to create a hammer that not only boasted a high accuracy rate, but also a hammer that shortened the time of Item Combination.

‘Hrmm.’

Braham no longer gave an opinion. There was no room for disagreement. Grid became certain and turned his attention to the notification window.

[You have decided to create a hammer. What materials would you like to use?]

"Adamantium, drake’s fangs, Water Clan King’s Tears, and ogre tendons.”

[Have you decided?]

“Yes.”

[Please design the item.]

A blank blueprint appeared in front of Grid. This was already his 14th item creation. Grid skillfully drew the blueprint using his experience and high dexterity stat. He didn’t do it too fast. He was slow and careful.

‘The handle is made from drake’s fangs.’

The role of the handle was important. It was a way to get the best performance from a tool. In particular, a hammer was a tool used for hitting hard objects. Every time the target was hit, a repulsive force was generated and the user became tired.

However, the disadvantages could be eliminated if the handle was made from the fang of a hard and resilient drake. The repulsive force would be absorbed by the handle. The drake’s fang was commonly used as a material for spears. It was bound to be robust, since it was so hard to obtain.
