However, as Igris was still at a hunting ground, the monsters in the surrounding area didn't celebrate his awakening and continued to rush toward him. As the monsters rushed their way, a voice was heard from Igris.
"100,000 Army."
His eyes made a bright glow along with the emergence of a storm that was formed from the sword energy of Igris. He then moved his sword.
"Blockade Sword."
Peeng!
Pepepepeok!
A festival was unfolding. A bluish storm of sword energy rained down from Igris's sword like firecrackers. The monsters on the ground. Every target in Igris's 'sight' was hit by the sword energy.
Kiik!
[You have dealt 1,860 damage to the target!]
Kuaaaaaah!
The attack power of 100,000 Army Blockade Sword wasn't so good. The mobs struck by the firecrackers of sword energies didn't suffer much physical damage. The problem was the blockade effect. It was the worst CC skill that blocked movement, skills, and magic for up to three seconds.
The monsters became as solid as stone statues. Igris immediately consumed several mana potions that Lexus had given him to restore the almost depleted mana and to be able to utilize the next skill.
"100,000 Army."
To send the monsters to their demise, Igris linked another attack.
"Massacre Sword."
Chukak.
Chukakakakak!
30 attacks in just a single second. The target was the mob right in front of Igris and all monsters in a 10 meter radius.
Peng!
Pepepepeok!
Splash, splash, a feast of splash damage!
[You have dealt 2,480 damage to the target!]
[Critical!]
[You have dealt 2,500 damage to the target!]
[You have...]
[....]
Though the mana consumption of the attack was greater than Igris's maxumum mana pool, Lexus fortunately equipped him with an armor that significantly reduced the mana cost of all skills in consideration of Igris's low mana capacity.
[Iona]
Rating: Unique
[Durability: 130/130 Defense: 200
* Intelligence +200
* Reduces the mana consumed by a skill by 25%.
* Maximum mana pool will increase by 10%.
* Increases magic and physical defense in proportion to the wearer's intelligence.
An armor created by the legendary blacksmith with the consideration for the protection of a magician whose bodies are fragile.
Conditions of Use: None.]
The degraded version of 100,000 Army Massacre Sword could be said that it is slightly similar to Pagma's Sword Dance, Link that a single target in range receives 20 strikes with the effect of increasing damage every time an attack hits the same target that is fully applied.
In other words, once Link hits the target, the attack power instantly increased by 100%. But 100,000 Army Massacre Sword shone even more. Unlike the single target Link, targets in its range received 30 strikes, so all of them had a 100% increase of Igris's attack power.
Then, as Lexus lent him his Blight of Misery and Brilliance because he was busy managing his Eternal Kingdom, it allows Igris to hunt the monsters at ease and it's not just Igris alone that experienced a sudden change.
[Ainz has been converted to a Death Spirit.]
[The class compensation effect will increase Ainz's intelligence by 10.]
[All stats have awakened and the unique features of all stats will improve.]
[For every point of...]
[...]
[Braham's soul fragment had decided to increase the influx of new knowledge and has completed the Enhanced Magic that was learned.]
[The degraded Braham's Enhanced Magic has been upgraded to the original.]
Standing at the rear of Igris, Ainz fired Magic Missile (Enhanced) and other enhanced basic spells. As the two newly awakened Death Familiars showed a perfect teamwork in the hunt, more and more monsters that faced them perished which allowed them to receive more experience points.
•~×~•
In these past few days, Lexus's schedule has been packed. He even resorted to creating clones of himself with magic and letting Solomon control those clones to increase his productivity; however, the job of a king who rules a country is just that demanding.
Finally taking a break from the duties of the king, he let his clones handle the rest while he closed his eyes.
"Item Creation."
[What item do you want to create?]
"Hands. I want to create hands."
Now that Aetherium has doubled, Lexus has decided to immediately produce an item that follows Greed on his journey from beginning to end.
[...]
It was silent for a while. The system didn't have a reaction.
Item Creation wasn't an almighty skill. A simple example was that Lexus couldn't create accessories like rings, necklace and others. He could only create items that were suitable for blacksmiths to produce.
[Is it really hands, not gauntlets?]
"That's right! I want to create hands! Hands that are based on mine and I will set the material to Aetherium."
As Lexus replied with a smile..... At that moment.
Ttiring~
[You have the same idea as the legendary blacksmith Pagma.]
[The quest 'Pagma's Successor' has been created.]
[Pagma's Successor]
Difficulty: Class quest.
You have certainly been given Pagma's blacksmith skills, but do you know exactly who Pagma is? Can you proudly and confidently carry out his will? Who is Pagma? If he were simply a blacksmith with good skills, his legend wouldn't be scattered across the continent.
First, achieve what Pagma couldn't and follow Pagma's legend. If you can collect all of the legends, you will truly understand Pagma and be the successor to his will.
At that moment, a new legend will be born.
* There is no time limit for this class quest.
* If you accept the class quest of a legendary class, you can't change your class again.
* The legendary class quest has the power to transform Satisfy's world, according to the result.
Class Quest Clear Conditions: Complete all linked quests successfully.
Class Quest Clear Reward: Unknown.
* First Class Quest: 'What Pagma couldn't Achieve'.
300 years ago, the legendary blacksmith created the strongest mineral called pavranium.
Pavranium is a mineral with a transcendent performance, even above the god mineral adamantium. It is said that it would've never been completed without the knowledge of Great Magician Braham.
Pagma was inspired. It was his desire to make something that even transcended the gods using the pavranium. But there was a clear limit to the quantity of pavranium, so Pagma had to think about how to use the pavranium.
At this time, he came up with the 'God Hand.'
Several golden hands that could demonstrate a dexterity equivalent to the legendary blacksmith! With the God Hands, Pagma believed he could produce items in an area that he had never reached.
However, he was unable to make the God Hands. Human life was finite and Pagma was already old.
Now you have reached the same idea as Pagma, so create and produce the God Hands. Transcend the foundation set by Pagma by achieving the goal that Pagma couldn't reach.
Quest Clear Conditions: Fully produce hands made of pavranium/ aetherium.
Quest Clear Reward: One of the hidden pieces of Pagma's Descendant, 'Sealed Abilities' will open.]
Seeing the system prompt, Lexus slightly raised his brows. He didn't really expected that his first class quest of being Pagma's Successor would be the third class quest of Greed in the original novel.
Well he did skip the first class quest of acquiring Pagma's Sword Dance by cheating with his Plunderer skill so this also made sense.
[Please design the God Hand.]
A blank blueprint appeared in front of him.
Lexus drew the structure of a form that resembled his own hand. He also collected the corresponding knowledge of the anatomy of a hand from Solomon to avoid the lack of crucial details from the production.
'The hands consist of the thumb, the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger. The thumb consists of two joints, while the fingers have three joints... The front and back of the finger have tendons, while the outer sides have the nerves and blood vessels...'
['Design: God Hand' has been acquired!]
God Hand. The name itself was tremendous. The performance was obviously great just based on the name. Lexus then poured aetherium that had been gathered into the roaring furnace. Of course, one was left for proliferation.
"Let's start the production."
There was no hesitation in his actions.
Smelting, forging, tempering, quenching, and so on...
Surprisingly, his speed wasn't fast as he underwent a series of processes. No, he was slower than average blacksmiths. He didn't care about straining his body or mind if he could increase the chances of getting a better result.
Ttang!Ttang!
Lexus focused silently. He didn't let anything obstruct him.
It was quiet. For Lexus, the only things that existed in the world at present were the aetherium, the anvil, and the hammer. There was nothing else.
Ttaang - ttang -!
The hammer and Lexus were no longer separate existences. They were fully joined. The hammer was him and he was the hammer. The body and hammer moved as one.
Ttaaang!
The aetherium gradually took the shape of the God Hands. The complex and delicate structure was recreated.
[Your extreme concentration has activated the Legendary Blacksmith's Breath.]
[The Legendary Blacksmith's Breath has increased the effectiveness of your production items.]
As the golden red hand created from aetherium finally took form, Lexus took two bottles filled with red liquid from his inventory. The other one was the only bottle left of the blood of Marie Rose while the other was Nevartan's blood droplet that he requested.
What Lexus wanted wasn't just a simple God Hand, he even infused the contents of the two bottles to the hand that he was creating. The hand that he designed did have blood vessels that contained in it so he was curious of what would be the effect, if he added the blood of two absolute existences.
"...!"
At the end of a long work, Lexus finally returned to reality. He smiled as he confirmed the result.
[A legendary rated item was produced, so all stats have permanently risen by +25 and reputation throughout the continent has risen by +1,000.]
Looking at the golden red hand, Lexus continued to smile at the sight.
[God Hand]
Rating: Legendary (Growth)
[Durability: Infinite

Conditions of Use: Undefeated King's Successor, Pagma's Successor, Sword Saint and Legendary Great Magician.]
[The title 'Legendary Item Maker' has been acquired.]
Though Lexus expected that a Myth item would emerge because of how precious the materials he used, his skills and experience were still not enough to produce the artifacts of the divine level. Producing Myth items were still currently out of his reach.
However, he was not sad and disappointed at all. Its performance and role fulfilled his expectations. There was a high likelihood of growth. It might be comparable or exceed a myth rated item, so he was full of expectations for the future.
