Adrian returned to the smithy and arrived with Aurgelmir still forging the shackles. The sparks emitted by hitting the orichalcum chains seed different from normal ones. Whenever the sparks of the tals landed, a small explosion would result.
The small explosions that resulted are actually so sort of shocks for ti and space. Adrian could see that ti and space would get distorted whenever the sparks landed on sothing. It did not break the space ti continuum because the explosions are small and the biggest one is not even as big as one centiter.

Adrian waited for the old man to stop crafting before he announced his presence. Also, he could not actually get near Aurgelmir because he emitted so sort of refined aura that made Adrian feel pressure. The pressure is so heavy that Adrian felt like he is being pressed down on the ground by a force stronger than a hundred tis the gravity.
When Aurgelmir stopped hamring the chains, it suddenly released a clear aura that sounded like a wind chi. It also released so sort of aura made of resentnt as it seems that so of the previous owner's grudge is still present in the item. If Adrian did not know about things like vestiges, then he would have undoubtedly led Sirius down a dark path.
"Are you going to rest, old man?" Adrian asked Aurgelmir.
"Rest is not needed as I still have a lot of stamina left." Aurgelmir answered.
"Well, you are going to collect my blood anyway so you can rest while you are doing that." Adrian stated but Aurgelmir shook his head.
"The next step would need you to be more hands-on. If I affix that fox marble that you filled with energy, I will need you to be more active in the crafting process. The energies of your blood and that fox marble would run rampant. Your job will be stabilizing them." Aurgelmir stated which caught Adrian off guard a little.
Adrian did not know what to reply since he thought he would just be a blood bank. The fact that he would assist in the process made him a bit concerned because he does not want to make a mistake and ruin the end product.
"I do not have any knowledge about blacksmithing. I only know about creating talismans. Speaking of talismans. I did craft ones that could be useful right now." Adrian suddenly rembered the number of talismans that he crafted that increased. He made talismans that can only be done by interdiate mastery scribes.

------
Adrian crafted this talisman with deflecting elental long range attacks. The downside is that it uses mana, and it is a fixed location but other than that it is a very useful talisman. Adrian has yet to sell these talismans that he made because he has yet to et Piggy Bank.
It seems that the rchant is on his way to Adrian's territory which is why he must return imdiately after crafting the Shackle of the Realms. The poor rchant might get shocked by the other races present in the territory.
Adrian then brought out a hundred of the talismans that he created. He activated them all simultaneously which is a great benefit of the talismans since they could all have a unique cooldown. Adrian has yet to try of there are a maximum number of talismans that one can use simultaneously but he has no ti to waste his precious talismans on that.
The talismans all beca particles of light that covered the forge. Adrian has about approximately 17 minutes of increased control. Aurgelmir did tell him that only the start would be chaotic as the energies will settle once he knows how to control them.
"Why do we need to control the energies anyways?" Adrian asked as Aurgelmir is now preparing to enhance the fox marble into sothing more refined.
"If the energy leaks out then that would an that the purity will drop, and it will result in an item that I will not be proud with. Get ready as you would need to supply drops of your blood later when we are binding the fox marble onto the shackles." Aurgelmir answered.
The intense focus that Aurgelmir possessed when he is crafting is there once again. Adrian felt the pressure that is coming from the frost giant that almost left him breathless. Aurgelmir brought his hamr down on the fox marble and a small shockwave imdiately resulted.
"This energy is very calm yet tyrannical. Wherever you got this from, the item will surely be leagues above a normal elental energy counterpart." Aurgelmir stated as he smiled. He saw the fox marble refinent as a challenge since high class materials ans high difficulty.
Aurgelmir slamd his hamr once more and this ti an energy shockwave made of nether energy is released. Adrian did not panic but made a gesture with his hands as he controlled the escaping nether energy back to the fox marble. Beads of sweat started to form on Adrian's face as each hamr would bring out nether energy that he would push back.
This process continued for twenty minutes, and it made Adrian extrely tired. When the talisman effects ran out, Adrian almost let so of the nether energy leak out, but he used his own energies to increase his control. The fox marble that glowed in a gray, black and white light is now glowing in a purplish color.
It is now in the shape of a pentagon instead of a sphere as Aurgelmir used his own blacksmithing techniques. Adrian does not know blacksmithing techniques which is why he is not shocked, or mind blow about Aurgelmir did. If other blacksmith players saw what the frost giant did then they would have travelled to his smithy and bow for a hundred days just to beco Aurgelmir's disciple.
"We are now done with refining the fox marble. The next thing that we need to do is fuse it with the shackles. This is where your blood will beco handy as it will be the binding agent of the two items. Your blood is important in this process which is why you need to listen carefully to my instructions." Aurgelmir stated.
The frost giant then stated how the process will unfold. Adrian will drop his blood on the refined fox marble and the Shackles of the Gods. His blood will trigger a reaction on the two items. Aurgelmir will then use that reaction to try and fuse the two items.
Adrian must drop his blood with every swing that Aurgelmir takes. He must not miss a beat or else the items might not fuse together rendering the whole process useless. Aurgelmir did say that one or two misses is acceptable, but Adrian wants it to be perfect because it would be for Sirius.
"Are you ready?" Aurgelmir asked.
"Ready." Adrian answered as he slit his finger and dropped blood on the shackle and the refined fox marble.
The two items then emitted a strong reaction especially the fox marble since it is filled with nether energy that Adrian's blood is abundant of. The nether energy is not only the only thing flowing inside Adrian as he also has Asmodian blood flowing inside him which is the best binder agent in all of Pandemonium.
Aurgelmir thought that the reaction is rather ta compared to before, but he just started forging. If he starts late then he might lose his window of opportunity. The blood of an Asmodian is the best thing to use when it cos to crafting relics that are as powerful as ancient relics.
Each ti that Adrian supplied his blood, the refined fox marble and the Shackle of the Gods started to be fused little by little due to Aurgelmir's skillful hands. Adrian did not miss a beat as he followed the rhythm at which Aurgelmir hamred the two items.
Aurgelmir noticed this and praised the young demon in the back of his mind. Aurgelmir's hamring style is actually called the Natural Wavelength Hamring Technique that follows the natural vibration of things. The fact that Adrian could follow him flawlessly is testant to the fact that the forr is skilled in recognizing patterns of vibrations in things.
The crafting process took over two hours just to finish but the end product is very satisfactory. Adrian almost died as he is left with only 5% of his total health. He tried chugging a potion, but it did not even affect him. This is also the first ti that he sees a frost giant actually sweating.
"We did it! The Shackle of the Realms." Aurgelmir stated as he lifted the Shackle of the Realms for him to appreciate its refined beauty.
