Iri glanced at the hammer in her hand again, then suddenly had an idea about a problem she had never considered before, and tried to infuse a little MP into the hammer in her hand.
Sure enough... as expected of the Weapon Master Take-Mikazuchi! I've been wrong about you all this time. Even as an unfinished work, it still has such amazing performance!
All this time, Iri and Ainz-papa had made a very serious mistake. They simply looked at the shape of Take-Mikazuchi's final unfinished weapon and naturally assumed it was a hammer, but it wasn't.
This isn't a hammer! It's a sword hilt!
Iri had always felt that the weight distribution of this hammer was very strange. What kind of warhammer was heavy at the foot and light at the head? The end of the grip was actually heavier than the part with the hammerhead? If this thing was considered a sword hilt, then it wouldn't be strange.
Because, judging by the proportions, the blade that was originally meant to be installed would have been at least three to four meters long. If the end of the hilt wasn't heavy enough, it would truly lose its balance.
Another point that made Iri realize that the weapon in her hand was a sword hilt was thinking of another divine artifact Take-Mikazuchi had completed before forging this weapon: Cocytus's God Slaying Emperor Blade.
Iri had played with that thing before when she was learning skills with Cocytus. The characteristic of that weapon was that it could be infused with MP, and then a magic blade capable of penetrating armor would form on the blade.
Take-Mikazuchi probably wanted to defeat Touch Me with this penetrating effect, right? But judging by the fact that he continued to develop new weapons after creating the God Slaying Emperor Blade, did he fail?
Based on the above, there was no reason for Take-Mikazuchi's final work to be inferior to the previous God Slaying Emperor Blade! After Iri tried to infuse her MP into the sword hilt just now...
Sure enough... it was absorbed immediately, very smoothly, much like the feeling when she played with the God Slaying Emperor Blade back then. This meant that this thing also had the same function as the God Slaying Emperor Blade, or even stronger!
However... Take-Mikazuchi only finished the sword hilt... Touch Me quit the game, so the magnificent giant greatsword that should have been lost its meaning of existence. Thus, development stopped, and he himself quit the game not long after. What a sad story!
But it doesn't matter. Since it was inherited from Take-Mikazuchi and Ainz-papa, I'll try to restore this greatsword to its original appearance!
At this moment, Death Knight noticed that the rate at which the surrounding temperature had been gradually decreasing suddenly accelerated. She, of course, knew that Clementine in front of her was very skilled in ice magic, and she herself was very wary of this.
The reason she hadn't attacked just now was that when she got close, she saw Iri wasn't moving, and the closer she got to her, the lower the temperature became.
And that smile that looked exactly like... 'Aha! You fell for it,' was why she hadn't rashly attacked. It seemed her current judgment was correct; there was indeed something near her?! Death Knight's vigilance instantly heightened.
Hmmph! It seems Death Knight was bluffed again. I deliberately strengthened the effect of Ice Aura, causing the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly, making her think I really set up some trap nearby. Since she's so meticulous, she should know that I'm very skilled in ice 'magic,' so that should delay her a bit.
As for why she needed to delay, it was because Iri needed to gather Ice Aura to create an ice blade on the sword hilt... to create an ice blade that could attack Death Knight from a safe distance... at least... ten meters, right?
Ah hahahaha... I really admire my own wild imagination. Wielding a ten-meter greatsword, are you kidding me, Elizabeth?! Iri herself admired her own imagination.
At this moment, Death Knight noticed that the visible freezing air already diffused in the area was rapidly concentrating at the tip of the warhammer in her hand, and the speed of concentration was getting faster and faster.
What was she trying to do? Death Knight herself felt very curious, but curiosity was curiosity, her vigilance hadn't decreased at all. Although she didn't dare to rush over rashly, slowly moving forward was still necessary.
Watching the freezing air gather more and more, Iri silently murmured in her heart... 'Take-Mikazuchi, thank you for the weapon you created... You truly are the strongest weapon crafting master!'
"Ice Blade Generation!!" Seeing Death Knight slowly approaching her, Iri immediately activated Level Four Ice Aura, instantly solidifying the gathered freezing air. And then... a terrifying scene appeared.
The warhammer in Iri's hand, it could no longer be called a warhammer... but a giant greatsword with an ice blade nearly ten meters long.
Death Knight was also stunned, looking at Iri with a 'What the hell are you playing at?' expression. What the heck is this? That guy was being mysterious for so long just to make such a huge ice pop? Is that guy out of his mind?
Although a giant greatsword nearly ten meters long looked very intimidating, the key question was, did she even have the strength to wield such a thing?
Even if she could wield it, what about the speed? How fast could such a large object swing?
And the blade was made of ice... her Twin Star Scythes could easily cut through that kind of thing. This thing that guy made was completely meaningless!
"Come... Yugali, come on!" Iri held the sword hilt with one hand and extended her other hand towards Death Knight in a provocative 'come here' gesture.
"You bastard, don't look down on me!" A vein throbbed on Death Knight's forehead, and she charged straight over. Such a large object, even if it could be swung... its speed would definitely be as slow as a turtle, not to be feared at all!
Then... just as she approached the attack range of the giant greatsword, Death Knight heard an incredibly sharp sound of cutting wind. She instinctively used her Twin Star Scythes to defend, and the grip of her scythes hit something.
Death Knight was seen being swung away like a rag doll, flying a long distance before recovering and landing.
What just happened?
After landing, Death Knight only saw Clementine's shadow in the freezing air stirred up by that last attack. She saw her now holding the giant greatsword with both hands and changing her stance. Did that guy really swing that attack that sent her flying?
Only then did Death Knight realize what kind of monster she was facing.
