Chapter 2352 Crafting Complete

Looking at the three tall, slender, silver-haired, ethereal blue-skinned, and well-preserved corpses of female Froslings, Wyatt shook his head at the peculiar choices dictated by the devil merchant code. Each corpse resembled a vivid ice sculpture. They were indistinguishable from the regular Snow Elves corpse. Yet, for some reason, the slaves and corpses of Snow Elves were three to five times more expensive than those of Froslings. Some female Snow Elf corpses even fetched prices ten times higher than their Frosling counterparts.
This price disparity stemmed primarily from the buyers' obsession with lineage and prestige. If the slave or corpse had been a royal Snow Elf, its value was treated like a true relic's, skyrocketing to unimaginable heights. Once dead, however, royal and regular Snow Elves were virtually indistinguishable. In fact, they could easily be mistaken for Froslings. Yet, the significant difference in cost persisted. Such was the market: people were willing to pay exorbitant prices if they believed there was a good enough reason.
This crafting duel was Wyatt's opportunity to provide the demon and devil merchants watching with a compelling justification for the high value of his services. However, that could wait until after her open's his workshop in Chaos Dwarven District. At present, he focused on winning the crafting duel at hand. Wyatt with help of his primordial spirits divided his mental strenght so they could simultiously transform three sets of six ingredients into soul pathways and stored them in the crafting page of his unranked grimoire, which appeared to the audience as an ordinary demon codex.
Inside the crafting page, aided by his thousand-plus primordial spirits, Wyatt began modifying the soul pathways of the three Frosling corpses simultaneously. First, he used 50 liters of frost rule power drawn from the sector of inter-realm city to wich the Frosell realm belonged to, to strengthen the soul pathways of the corpses, reinforcing their physiques. This process reactivated and enhanced their realm's blessing that granted Frosling their immunity to the Glacier Plague.
Next, Wyatt utilized the remaining 100 liters of frost rule power combined with 25 liters of Glacier Plague to modify the soul pathways of the Frosling corpses. This modification allowed the corpses, once turned into corpse puppets, to produce bodily fluids containing an enhanced version of the Glacier Plague.
After enhancing the corpses, Wyatt turned his attention to the three artificial Frosling demon cores, which had been cultivated to the demon emperor rank. These cores had been fused with Froslings and had been painstakingly cultivated to reach their current state. Wyatt planned to integrate them with the soul pathways of Clampedos' three demonic pearl bombs to create artificial demon cores specifically tailored to the soul pathways of the three Frosling corpses.
Once the modifications were complete, Wyatt and his primordial spirits fused the soul pathways of the enhanced Frosling corpses with the modified Frosling demon cores, creating three complete and highly modified Frosling corpses.
Finally, Wyatt used the soul pathways from three demonic Winterweaver cores to extract the soul pathways of Snow Silk skill and incorporate them into the modified Frosling corpses. This enabled the corpses, once animated as corpse puppets, to generate Snow Silk using their bodily fluids. Wyatt didn't stop there; he further enhanced the Snow Silk skill with the Glacier Plague present in the corpses' bodily fluids, transforming the skill into Glacier Silk skill.
Once they had prepared the soul pathways of the Frosling corpses to their specifications, the primordial spirits, guided by the knowledge of corpse puppet crafting they had acquired before the duel, began animating the three modified Frosling corpses into corpse puppets. Meanwhile, Wyatt and his Hive Spirit focused on creating three artificial wills for the Frosling corpse puppets. These artificial wills functioned like 3D printer AI software with various previously installed designs for various weapons and machnical armors, programmed using the soul pathways of the corpse puppets' cores as they were being animated.
Both the themes worked on their respective tasks simultaneously. This coordination was crucial to achieving a crafting cry—a miraculous phenomenon that occurs during the creation of an item, causing it to emit a resonant hum. The crafting cry has often been compared to the cry of a living being at birth, symbolizing that the crafted item possesses the potential to give rise to a spirit of its own in the future. Thanks to the Hive Spirit, Wyatt and his primordial spirits displayed unparalleled coordination, allowing them to complete their tasks simultaneously. As a result, they heard three distinct hums as they animated the three Frosling corpse puppets simultaneously. The three crafting cries echoed within the time-space isolation array, jolting Bigold awake and breaking his concentration as he was preparing to animate his first corpse puppet.
Bigold's initial reaction was rage and frustration, but as he realized what the hums signified, his expression shifted. Slowly, he turned to glance at his opponent's workshop, where three shimmering, blue-armored Frosling corpse puppets stood in a row. Seeing that his opponent had already crafted three corpse puppets while he was still working on his first left Bigold utterly stunned.
His astonishment deepened when he observed the three armored Frosling corpse puppets kneel before their crafter in a display of respect and surrender. This act revealed that his opponent's corpse puppets had already begun to develop their own spirits—or, at the very least, had been animated with advanced artificial wills.
'He must have compromised the functionality of his corpse puppets, limiting them to a few combat-oriented abilities and skills to reduce crafting time. That has to be it,' Bigold reasoned, unwilling to let the overwhelming realization sink in—that his opponent had crafted three corpse puppets in just half a day of a three-day crafting duel.
Bigold wasn't alone in his reaction. Many in the audience shared his thoughts, especially when they considered Wyatt's comparatively short ingredient list. Yet, none dared to question the quality of Wyatt's corpse puppets. The crafting cries alone were proof enough; they indicated that the corpse puppets were of the highest quality possible for the ingredients used.
