Chapter 330 The Last Straw (1/2)
At last, Eisen was nearly finished with the main preparation for the Golems, although he still had a few more things to do here and there. For one, he needed to add the 'Information Storage', aka the Brain, into the head as well.
And for that Brain, Eisen had a rather good idea, because it seemed the perfect base for a three-dimensional enchantment. So first, Eisen created a rough oval brain-shape and then began to get to work with the use of transmutation, swiftly hollowing a few places out here and there and using the materials that he used for that to create the actual 'Models' for the definitions and the center.
And the center simply got a small crystal brain, while the surrounding 'Element' spheres got a rune representing the word 'Thought'. After that, Eisen simply placed the brain into the hollow area in the head that he prepared for it, and filled the area surrounding the crystal brain in a potion that was supposed to increase the intelligence stat for a little while.
After that, Eisen got to placing the eyes into the head as well by simply transmuting the metal around the edges to be a bit softer to make it possible to just push the eyes into the specific sockets, and with the help of the enchantments and a little bit of mana-string affixiation, Eisen didn't have to worry about having the eyes drop out.
And then, Eisen placed the Steel Teeth into the upper and lower jaws, although they weren't enchanted yet, because he figured that he could do that over time, before properly attaching the lower jaws, which had some simply mana-crystal tongues already placed into them, to the rest of the heads, of course once more using the mana string to support the structural integrity.
Then, all that was left to do was place the heads onto the bodies. This also happened relatively quickly and easily, because all of the necessary parts were prepared beforehand. Of course, once the head was attached, the old man had to properly add the metal 'plates' that would turn it into a helmet design at the proper places on the head, and then moved them all around a little bit to make sure that they couldn't get stuck while switching 'Modes'.
Then, Eisen turned the bodies around and continued working on the mana-creation area, using the specific gems that he ability-enchanted to create elemental-mana generators that were hooked up to the elemental-mana batteries.
Once that was done, the mana batteries were hooked up directly to the slot where the Golem Core would be placed later to properly connect the extra mana to the actual Golem.
At last, the only things that Eisen now had to do were to create the weapons and 'Special' parts on the Golem's individual bodies, as well as the few cloth-parts, before enchanting the golem's bodies. So actually, there was still a good bit to do before they would be finished.
The first thing that Eisen then chose to make were the items for the Tank-Golem, the Tower-Shield and the Greatsword.
And while waiting for all of the metal for the shield to heat up a bit, the old man chose to take a look at the three-dimensional enchantments that his students ended up making.
First, Eisen looked at Stahl's creation. It seemed to actually be rather similar to what Eisen made as his first three-dimensional enchantment, just slightly different in concept. Instead of floating around and returning to whoever activated the enchantment, the small sphere could be thrown pretty far through highly-reduced gravity, but would end up trying to follow the nearest target, although it was mainly just able to change the trajectory ever so slightly.
So it was basically a thrown-homing ball. ”Interesting. But how exactly does it find the right target?” Eisen asked his grandson, who just scratched the back of his neck with a wry smile. ”The nearest place with a lot of mana beside the user, I guess.” He replied, so Eisen just sighed.
”Maybe try to find another solution. If you want to use this kind of thing in a fight, you'd end up accidentally hitting the Mage in your party, who is coincidentally Brody's wife. So, better try not to do that.” The old man explained with a chuckle, and Stahl simply slowly nodded his head.
Then, Eisen moved on. Parc's three-dimensional enchantments was capable of covering itself and the user's hand in a layer of rock, to basically turn someone's hand into a large rock-hammer. ”Well, the shape is pretty rough, and if you don't have a high enough strength stat your arm will be ripped off, but I like it, well done.” The old man said with a laugh before deactivating the enchantment, ”I'll play around with this a little more, yeah? I want to test the durability of the rock.” He added, before moving onto Rouge's enchanted crystal.
And what it did was also pretty interesting. It wasn't directly useful the way it was per-se, but it was interesting nonetheless. The three-dimensional enchantment would, when activated, simply turn the whole sphere invisible. Eisen actually accidentally dropped it while looking at it after activating the enchantment, and he had to activate his mana-sight to find it again.
”The concept is well-thought through, but the item it was used on just wasn't the best. If this can be made smaller and placed into arrow-heads, this would turn into a real pain in the ass.” Eisen explained before carefully placing the enchanted sphere back in front of Rouge, before he then moved on to the last of the four students.
And from what Eisen could tell when looking at the enchantment through the translucent sphere, it seemed to be supposed to cause a delayed-explosion, exactly ten seconds after the enchantment was activated. ”So basically, this is a re-usable magic grenade?” Eisen asked while pulling his eyebrows up a little bit, and Koro nodded his head.
”Mhm, it is! Depending on the mana input, the size of the explosion changes as well!” He explained as he took the enchantment from Eisen again, and by having his mana-sight active, Eisen could notice that Koro seemed to have activated the enchantment for some reason. But either way, his mana was moving from his hand into the enchantment for activation.
”What are you doing?” Eisen asked with a frown, and Koro tilted his head to the side. ”Hmm? Oh, I'm just refining the image in the center a bit more, I'm not really happy with it.” He explained, and immediately Eisen opened his eyes wide before extending his hand forward to grab the enchanted sphere from his apprentice, before activating the three-dimensional enchantment from Parc that he still had in his hand, making it cover his hand, including the enchantment-grenade in rock, before Eisen quickly turned around and squatted forward while increasing his size as much as he could to cover the whole thing more easily.
