Chapter 282: - Combining Elements for a Golem

A hologram of a small humanoid golem materialized in front of Broken, floating in the air. Below the hologram was a progress bar indicating the percentage of materials fed into the golem. It showed 0%.

"So, you finally chose \'No.\' Haha," Freya said, looking slightly concerned.

"Okay, now, what materials should I provide?"

"Platinum and iron. I think that combination is the best for the base material. Platinum is durable and excellent for conducting magic, making it ideal for golems that need to channel magical energies or have magical defenses. Iron is strong and provides a solid structural framework."

"What about the composition?" Broken asked.

Freya paused before answering. "How are you with blacksmithing?"

"It depends on the blueprint, but the composition for blacksmithing and golems could be different, right? Because golems have a structured body that enables them to move, while weapons or armor are solid forms."

Freya nodded. "Let\'s try with a 4 to 3 ratio. Four parts platinum and three parts iron. What do you think?"

Broken nodded and quickly took out four platinum bars and three iron bars. He approached the golem\'s interface with the bars.

[Feed material cannot be retrieved once fed. Are you sure?]

Broken pressed \'Yes,\' and the bars vanished, causing the progress bar to move up to 2 percent.

"Damn, only 2 percent!" Broken exclaimed, a bit shocked.

Freya sighed deeply. "Exactly what I said- we have no idea how much material will be needed."

Broken took a moment to think and then pulled out all the platinum and iron he had in his inventory and put them on the ground.

Fortunately, he had received a substantial amount of these materials as a reward from the kingdom after the recent competition. Initially, Broken intended to use them to craft something for his knights, but now he was committed and couldn\'t turn back. Using lower- quality materials would only ruin the potential of the golem he could create.

"Do you have enough material to feed the golem, Broken?"

"I\'m not sure, let me try it first."

Freya chuckled softly, though her face was visibly tense. "You really go all in when you do something, huh? You know those materials are worth a lot, right?"

"Yes, but no worries, I got them as a reward," he said, trying to reassure himself.

Broken slowly fed the items into the interface, continuing to chat with Freya. "What\'s the risk if the material combination is too varied?"

"The higher the quality of the material, and the fewer variations used, the more focused the result will be," Freya explained. "While golem creators often use stones to cut costs because they need to make many golems, you\'ve already committed to using platinum and iron, so you don\'t have much choice now."

Broken nodded, understanding the implication. He watched the progress bar inch forward as he fed more platinum and iron into the golem, hoping his gamble would pay off.

"The materials used for golems can also be influenced by the class and skills of their creator," Freya continued.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, consider this: most golems have a solid form, made from stone or iron. But creators with higher classes or certain skill levels can even construct golems using liquid materials or gases."

"Oh, really?" Broken turned to Freya, clearly intrigued. "I\'ve never seen a golem like that." "The use of golems is actually pretty broad," she explained. "Solid-form golems, like this one, are more common because they\'re cheaper and more consistent. Golem creators who can work with liquid or gas materials are rare. They usually need to have a high-grade class or an affinity with multiple elements."

Broken absorbed this new information while continuing to feed more platinum and iron into the golem\'s interface.

"So, it\'s not just about the materials, but also the creator\'s abilities."

"Exactly," Freya affirmed.

After some time, the progress bar finally reached 63%, using up all the platinum and iron bars that he had. He turned to Freya with a sheepish grin. "What should I do now, Freya?"

Freya sighed. "Well, how about we wait until you have more platinum and iron bars? You can purchase them if needed."

Hearing this, Broken felt a strong urge to see the finished golem. He pulled out orichalcum and moonstones from his inventory.

"You\'re not planning to use those for the golem, are you?" Freya asked.

"What do you think?"

Freya paused for a moment. "Well, in weapon crafting, orichalcum and moonstones are used

to give the item unique characteristics. So, they\'d serve the same purpose here."

"And what about monster cores? Can I use them as well?" Broken asked.

"Yes, you can also use monster cores to imbue the golem with unique traits," Freya explained. "But you should carefully consider which monster cores to use. You could even use monster soul stones if you really want to go all out."

Broken stood still for a moment, deep in thought. Finally, he made his decision and began feeding orichalcum to the golem. This time, he noticed the percentage bar increased significantly more than it had with platinum or iron.

"The percentage increased a lot more," Broken observed.

Freya nodded. "That\'s likely because orichalcum is a more unique material and adds specific characteristics to the golem. That\'s why the bar rose more. But you still need to maintain a

balanced composition."

Broken nodded and fed more orichalcum, especially green orichalcum, until the progress bar

reached 70%.

"Still 30% to go," he said.

Freya smiled and shrugged as Broken looked at her.

"Sorry, Broken, I\'m not used to gambling. This is your specialty," she said softly.

"I can use the moonstones. I can always find more if I need them," he replied enthusiastically. "The golem might end up with characteristics similar to your Moonvine Knuckles if you use the same materials. A golem with plant-type skills and a dimensional element-who

knows?" she said.

Nodding, Broken fed the golem with moonstones. The progress bar shot up faster than before. After feeding several moonstones, the progress bar now stood at 96%. Broken took a deep breath, seeing how far he had come. He really wanted the bar to reach 100%, but he was still weighing what material to use for the final touch. He considered his

options carefully.

He had a Rare - Sand Colossus Lv. 215 Monster Soul Stone, a Sun Beetle Lv. 205 Monster Soul Stone, and a Rare - Scorched Scorpion Lv. 212 Monster Soul Stone, all of which he acquired during a dungeon expedition with Elincia. But he was also interested in using one unique monster core: an Elite - Bloodfiend Demon Core he had obtained during the battle against the demon Ulrich and the two city guard demons.

Broken took out the monster soul stones and demon cores, showing them to Freya.

"What do you think?" he asked.

"If you use a Monster Soul Stone, I think the influence will be too significant and might alter the default form of the golem. But I\'m also hesitant about using a demon core. While moonstones are blessed items by the Goddess of the Moon, demon cores, you know, come from a different, rather dark source," Freya explained.

Broken nodded slowly, considering her words.

"The green orichalcum has a wood element, and the moonstones have a dimensional element. If you add a Demon Core with a shadow element, who knows what kind of entity

might emerge."

"But can I use both the monster soul stone and the demon core, Freya?" he asked, turning to

her.

"In theory, yes," she replied, sighing heavily. "But it\'s a gamble."

Broken pondered what to do next. Feeding just one monster core didn\'t seem like it would

make the bar reach 100%, and he knew that a monster soul stone was a highly valuable item, especially when used for a golem.

While crafting a weapon or armor, it was acceptable to use both monster cores and monster soul stones together, even in larger quantities, as long as they came from the same type of monster. But here he was, with a scorpion monster core and a demon core.

He reconsidered his decision one last time. After a few moments, Broken took a deep breath, nodding resolutely. He fed the final items into the golem: the Rare - Scorched Scorpion Lv. 212 Monster Soul Stone and the Elite - Bloodfiend Demon Core Lv. 218.

The progress bar surged forward, finally hitting 100%.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
