The interior of the arena was wide and actually paved. Several participants had already reached, and each area of each participant was marked with red paint, and there was a big number painted on the floor too. Our group was also given a number, we were group number 4, so we moved to the area with the number four painted on it.
There were at least three more groups preparing things. One of them were the brothers, who only glared at us from afar without saying a word for now, they were preparing the smithy and sharpening their tools.
Every group was given materials, a blueprint of what to make, and also a smithy. However, tools and such had to be brought by the participants. We could also bring our own smithy, but nobody had the ability to do that, at least no NPC.
Of course, it was different with us, Players with an Inventory. We brought Ambil's whole smithy with us, and I gently placed it over the floor, connecting all the parts together.
These smithies were like huge, tallic chimneys crafted by the dwarves, they worked by feeding them magic crystals, usually the crystalized internal mana of monsters, or sotis fire spirit stones, which were the most effective.
"It's done," said Mark. "It is completely assembled… Now what do we do?" he asked Ambil.
"It should be done for now," Ambil said, patting the old tal. "This Smithy belongs to my family; it has belonged to us for many generations. It is said to have been forged using dragon scales and also Black Mithril, one of the rarest types of Mithril only found in the depths of the earth."
"Interesting, is this why it is so strong and can handle any fire without lting?" I wondered.
"Indeed, the way it was even made… I am not even sure how it was properly done," he laughed. "To slt such a tal that won't burn and lt against any fire is insane to ."
"Well, Lily can shape and transform ores, so perhaps they used alchemy and tal manipulation!" I said.
"Oh! Yeah, I had not thought about that, now that I think about it," Ambil nodded. "But to have such a high level of steel magic, that's incredible. Black Mithril is often said to be the steel of the gods, after all."
"That tough?!" I wondered. "I thought that was Orichalcum?"
"Yes, there are many types of divine tals. Orichalcum is perhaps one step ahead of Black Mithril," Ambil nodded. "Your weapon and your armor… Both have so Orichalcum on them. It is a tal that can only be created by the Gods though, unlike Black Mithril, it doesn't grow naturally."
"So the armor and the weapon I have… They were direct gifts from Gaia, right?" I said. "I suppose that's why they got so Mithril. I have always given them for granted, but both are amazing equipnt's."
"Of course they are, hahaah! I would love to analyze them with more detail…" Ambil seed rather interested in taking a look at them.
"Well, maybe for later… Anyways, I think I've enhanced my connection with him enough to bring a part of his fire," I said. "Shall I summon him?"
"Sure, go ahead," Ambil nodded.
I walked towards the Black Mithril Smithy, which gained many eyes from the onlookers, both participants and the people around the chairs waiting for the competition to begin.
It was all thanks to a certain Skill I inherited from Hephaestus.

[Divine Forging Fla Spirit Furnace: Lv5]
A Unique Skill that cannot Level Up through Skill Points and will only Level Up through constant practice and improvent of the Hephaestus' Successor Subclass.
Through the power of Hephaestus' Divinity dwelling within you, you're capable of creating a Divine Contract with a Divine Forging Fla, which are Spiritual beings of their own, often referred as "Fire Souls".
By channeling the power of your Contracted Divine Forging Flas, you can summon a part of their bodies anywhere you go to both forge new items with them and to use to fight, albeit limitedly.
As this Skill Level Ups, the Contracted Divine Forging Flas beco stronger, their Volu, Firepower, Mass, Divinity, Spirituality, and Quality increases by 125%.
By summoning their power, you can summon the Divine Forging Fla Spirit Furnace, a special Building that can be summoned and unsummoned at any ti, which will grow larger the more Divine Hephaestus Smithies you find.
Contracted Divine Forging Flas:
[1: Ignis, the Third Divine Forging Fla Spirit] [Divine Hephaestus' Blessing: Slting Synthesis]
[2: ???]
[3: ???]
[4: ???]

At Level 1, I couldn't summon Ignis anywhere, but that was different now, after working so hard to make so many items with his powers, the Skill Level has increased to five!
And now, I think I could even summon him back on Earth!
But for now…
"Co, Ignis!"
FLUOSH!
An eruption of spiritual and divine flas erged from my hands, quickly gathering into a powerful form, a genie made of crimson and orange flas, muscular and handso.
"Oho! So you can now summon outside of the smithy, isn't that nice?" he wondered.
"W-Woah!"
"What is that?!"
"A Spirit of Forging?!"
"Right! Now I recognize her… she had changed so much out of nowhere, that's Planta!"
"No way, it's her?! The hair color and everything looks so different!"
I guess I was fairly different than before now, after I evolved into Aeternitas.
"Ignis, can you stay inside the smithy? We're on a competition right now."
"Oh, so that's it! Planta, I would really appreciate if you, well, could elaborate and tell these things beforehand, perhaps?"
"Hahah, my bad. I'll try to tell you beforehand next ti!"
"Hah, very well."
He quickly flew inside the smithy, blazing with spiritual and divine flas.
FLASH!
The Black Mithril beca slightly red, but did not lt at the end, it only got rather hot.
"I'm ready to slt anything you want!" he laughed. "Also, you can use my special abilities here too!"
Chapter Stay:
"Interesting…"
Perhaps if I can summon him IRL, I could make insane weapons, or enhance our already existing weapons!
Anyways, with preparations done, I quickly moved to assess my other items.
Skill Specialization Marble, Elixirs, and Skill Books, let's see…
Should I just use everything anyways?
