Going through the bones of the thunder behemoth, Marcus picked out the sturdiest one and cut it down to the size he wanted the scythe’s pole to be.


    ‘Whew for a bit I thought I would not be able to get through it.’ Marcus thought as he looked at the bone he had prepared.


    He had found that any implement he tired using to cut through it could not so much a make a scratch. At least until he used the amethros scythe de he had just made. This had just been able to cut through the bone when he gave it all he had, and now he had the perfect pole to use for his scythe.


    Still the bone alone was not going to be quite good enough, so he used some of the adamantine that had made up his previous scythe, and with the addition of some more materials from the Archon Shedu and nightskitter he made the adamantine even stronger than before.


    Then he went ahead and gave the bone a coating of the adamantine and filled in the hollow area where the bone marrow was before.


    Though while he was working on this he also went ahead and gave the handle a spear head made from bone coated in adamantine as well. Figuring that it could give him some more attack options._.


    ‘Hm just on its own this would make an impressive spear.’ Marcus thought as he gave it a few test thrusts and twirled it around.


    When he had finished ying around with the polearm section of his scythe he began the processing ofbing the two parts together.


    Soon enough he had affixed the scythe de to the pole and had the base of his new weapon.


    ‘I would say without any enchantments etched into it this scythe is already a bit stronger than myst one. I guess the materials being such a higher quality makes a huge difference.’


    After putting the scythe down Marcus pulled out the three cores he was nning to use in its creation and thought about where to put each of them.


    ‘The core from the Doomsday Worm definitely needs to go in the center of the de. But what of the others.’


    Eventually Marcus deiced to put one of the cores that he had received from Ardea in the top of the pole and the other in the bottom.


    This would make it harder for him to link them, but it would help with the flow of power throughout the scythe and prevent anyone ce from being less powerful than the other.


    The next dozen hours were spent entirely on cing the cores within their respective areas, and when that was done Marcus felt exhausted from his expenditure of mana and spiritual energy.


    ‘I do not think that anyone else could have done that.’ Marcus thought when he had finished.


    He had used his ability to go ethereal to ce the cores within the metal which had been very difficult and nearly ended up with either the cores or scythe breaking.


    Luckily the materials were just too sturdy to be broken easily, and since his soul was imbued within them he was able to manipte the metal in a way that would have been impossible otherwise.


    However, this had also given him an impable idea which if it worked would allow him to add more formations to his scythe.


    ‘Now I should start with the basics like shape sing, increased mana flow, and enhanced durability. Luckily, I managed to take the partially finished formations I got in the special dungeon andpleted them and found that they were far stronger versions than even the ones Thabon showed me.’


    Pulling out his mana etcher and filling it with celestial tinum, Marcus got right to work on etching in all of the formations that he wanted his scythe to have.


    Yet before he started on the outside where it would normally be done, he actually phased the etcher inside the metal and began there.


    He had of course quickly tested this out on a swiftly made mithril spear and found that it worked perfectly fine.


    This allowed him to add even more formations to the weapon. Though he needed to be especially careful not to mess up, as the formations could easily interact with each other in a negative way.


    ‘Okay that is all of the basics hidden within the scythe. Now for the moreplicated stuff on the outside.’


    Taking his etcher Marcus began adding enhancements such as auto attack and auto defend first which were some of the easier one to what he had nned.


    Next came a formation that allowed him to increased the weight of the scythe so that it could either be swung quicker or hit harder. Then another that allowed it to oscite at a high speed and frequency that would help the de cut through dense objects or break apart barriers easier.


    After that came formation that could steal the mana, life, and even spiritual energy from those hits by the de.


    Marcus continued to add more and more formations until he finally added the ones that one boost the power of light and darkness.


    With thepletion of those two formations Marcus finished off his new amethros scythe that was easily the greatest masterpiece he had ever made.


    And when it was done the scythe began glowing showing that it had the system’s approval as a top tier weapon.


    Yet something different happened from all the other times he had made system recognized item.


    His scythe began emitting a palpable aura, and he watched as the core of the Doomsday Worm began to pulsate.


    Green lines like those of the monster’s tendrils began to push out among the de and in the middle of the dark emerald colored core arge glowing red eye appeared.


    Seeing this Marcus panicked that he had somehow revied the monster through its core. That maybe it had some skill unknown to them and now it was taking over the scythe that he had just made.
