Supremacy Games

Three days later...

Felix and Cyclope had returned to the main forge, wearing the same goggles.

"Looks like it's ready for the cast." Cyclope shared as he glanced at the molten red metal inside the crucible.

Without further ado, he picked it up with tongs and closed the wall behind him, returning the main forge into its normal brightness.

Felix removed the goggles and wore his AP bracelets back on as well as his nanoclothes. It looked like regardless of what he did, he always ended up in situations that required him to go nude...

"This is the cast?" Felix wondered as he looked at a metallic container that was shaped into half a hammer and half an axe.

Cyclope nodded and started pouring the molten material into the cast, filling it up to the brim. Then, he closed it and let it cool down for a bit.

Felix remained silent and sat on the corner, watching him prepare the tools to start working on the hammer.

The cast might give an accurate shape of the hammer, but it didn't mean that was the end of it.

Now the real blacksmithing work would start.

Ka-thud!

Cyclope opened the cast and picked up the glowing red hammer before putting it on an anvil.

Although it was cool enough to solidify, Felix knew that it was still hot enough to be reformed.

Cling! Cling! Cling!

Ax expected, Cyclope started to hammer it down in precise repeated motion, making him resemble the blacksmithing machines.

'What will happen when the hammer cools off completely while he wasn't done yet?' Asna wondered with a curious tone.

'He will be forced to heat it again but not to the point of melting.' Lady Sphinx said, 'But, I doubt it will reach that point as this wasn't a normal metal we are dealing with.'

Just like it took an insane amount of time for the material to get melted off, the heat wouldn't dissipate off it so soon.

If it was anyone else, this still wouldn't matter much as they would be required to heat it up again. But this was Cyclope, the godfather of blacksmithing and forgery.

If one person could shape up a piece of metal to his desired state in one single go, it would defintely be him!

As anticipated, in less than two hours, the hammer was starting to turn slimmer, cleaner, and the edges were refined.

Let's not speak about the axe's blade as it was so sharp, Felix felt like his eyes would be sliced apart if he stared at it too much!

Still, Cyclope wasn't done hammering it down even when the heat started to wear off and the hammer's real color began to show.
