The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 109: Bloodline Imprint and Twin-Blade Spider

Chapter 109 - 109: Bloodline Imprint and Twin-Blade SpiderSunan and Rose were overjoyed. The discovery of the Gem Bugs alone made the journey worthwhile.

After collecting their thoughts, they turned to the third notebook.

This notebook detailed how to extract the bloodline of ancient mythical beasts from magical creatures and transform it into a one-time-use bloodline ability.

Avigney named this ability the Bloodline Imprint.

Depending on the ancient beast's bloodline extracted, the resulting Bloodline Imprint varied in strength and effect.

However, to create a Bloodline Imprint, the extracted ancient beast bloodline needed to reach a certain concentration.

Avigney had attempted to extract the Crimson Fang bloodline from the Blood Soul Bugs, but the concentration was too low to succeed.

"An ancient beast's bloodline? That's incredibly rare," Rose shook her head.

Many descendants of ancient beasts still existed on the Starlight Continent, but their bloodlines were invariably diluted.

If even Avigney couldn't extract a suitable bloodline, it was unlikely she could either.

Moreover, the few creatures with high bloodline inheritance were too powerful for her to handle.

To her, this re

The main challenge was material selection.

To maximize the spider puppet's agility, the materials had to be lightweight metals.

Of course, durability couldn't be compromised.

Otherwise, they'd end up with fragile puppets that shattered upon impact.

Blackstone iron was an ideal choice, but its low production meant it couldn't support mass production, especially with the need for crafting black rock panthers.

After careful consideration, Sunan decided on tungsten steel for the new puppet.

Tungsten steel was known for its high hardness, wear resistance, and toughness, as well as excellent heat and corrosion resistance.

While not as hard as blackstone iron, it was suitable for synthesis and reinforcement.

Overall, the synthesized tungsten steel, with hardness and lightness similar to blackstone iron, had a comparable cost, making it a viable substitute.

With materials and design finalized, the crafting process was relatively straightforward.

The completed spider puppet possessed dark vision, immunity to all mind-affecting effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, confusion, suffocation, and high elemental resistance—similar to a golem.

At this stage, the spider puppet's capabilities rivaled those of a stone golem.

But Sunan wanted more.

He enhanced the spider puppet's two front attacking legs with magic, adding [Black Steel] and [Sharpness] traits to significantly increase hardness and sharpness.

In other words, the spider puppet had two built-in enchanted weapons capable of simultaneous attacks.

The final cost of crafting a spider puppet was 180 gold coins.

Over nine times that of a regular stone golem!

But you get what you pay for; the spider puppet's combat prowess far exceeded that of a stone golem.

Testing showed that in a one-on-one fight, the spider puppet could slice a stone golem into pieces in under thirty seconds, its vaunted defense no match for the enchanted leg blades.

Overall, the spider puppet's combat power reached the level of a peak knight.

It was a fitting match for its cost.

"This puppet shall be called the Twin-Blade Spider."

Gazing at the massive black spider, as large as a carriage, Sunan was pleased.

With the Twin-Blade Spider, the golem army's combat capabilities were more well-rounded.

"Too bad flying puppets are rare. Without a blueprint, researching one is time-consuming, and crafting them requires high skill and materials. Adding an aerial unit would be perfect."

Sunan's current puppet blueprints were primarily low-tier golems, lacking any flying designs.

Even if he had one, his current skills and materials were insufficient for crafting.

After all, flying puppets needed more than just flight—they required potent ranged attacks.

Flying puppets without ranged capabilities were merely airborne targets.

For example, metal golems with both flight and ranged attacks were at least at the level of shadow steel golems or mithril golems.

These golems' combat power approached that of full-fledged wizards.

Level-three wizard apprentices generally couldn't craft them.

"It would be nice to have flying puppets with weaker ranged attacks. I could always synthesize them."

"I'll ask the others at the next Forest Cabin gathering."
