Blacksmith of the Apocalypse

Chapter 584: Assistant Needed

In the morning of the day after tomorrow he finally managed to level his skill, he had wanted to get at least this far, before he finally started working on his cuirass.

Seth had several plates made from two and a half scale he had made over the past two days. They were the parts of the cuirass, the gorget, and the pauldrons. The first thing he did was get mentally prepared for the work and activate the different skills of Forgeright and Wraithguard.

He drank some water and walked a little to cool off. This wasn’t the way. Of course, he could pull through with brute force. But this was not how things were supposed to be. Facing the process of working with legendary, highly resistant material, forced Seth to make a decision.
