He had previously learned that Ash was related to the elements of fire and death, and after applying the new body enchantment, he reasoned that since his HP had also acquired Ash attribute, he might have gained greater resistance to these elements. And he was right in what he believed. Even though the black flames were meant to harm him, he couldn't help but feel like they were healing him.
Raydon waited until the black metal had turned gray, and then he removed it from the fire with his bare hand once more. With the hammer in his hand, he set it down on an iron block next to Forge and began to pound on the gray metal.
What he was doing was the traditional approach to making armor out of iron. As a means of shaping the iron, he was forging it. He continued to hit the gray metal until it began to turn black and harden once more, at which point he placed it back into the fire, waited for it to turn gray again, and continued the process.
After some time, Raydon split the black iron, which had transformed into a flat plate, into two pieces and started to shape the two separate plates by striking them once more with the hammer he was holding in his hand.
Four hours later, after he had repeatedly carried out this process, two unfinished black gauntlets stood in front of him. These gauntlets, however, were made up of numerous pieces that weren't yet assembled and ready for wear.
''After so much work, I've only reached the halfway point. '' Raydon sighed and began assembling the gauntlet's iron pieces with a piece of black leather, this time with another death-type mob material.
After he finished working with the leather, he was left with two pairs of black gauntlets that were ready for use. However, his work was not yet complete. The materials used to craft an item played a significant role in determining whether or not it would gain a skill. Which parts of the mob were used and which elements of the materials were used had to be adjusted and added to the item very well during the crafting process.
This time, he reworked the shells of an iron shell turtle in a fire and shaped them with a hammer to add to the gauntlets. He then attached claws from a Shadowfang wolf to the fingertips of the gauntlet and used the red venom from a Venomous Serpent to draw designs on them.

''Well, it's finally finished. ''
After Raydon had finished, a total of nine hours had passed, and he was now in possession of a pair of gauntlets that were completely ready to be worn.
"But they look really ugly," he said, looking at the black gauntlets with white and red claws and greenish scales. Raydon did an excellent job, and the gloves themselves were works of art; the only problem was that, unlike the gauntlets, they weren't practical for everyday use and would be better suited for display in a museum.
''After all the procedures are finished, I really hope these become something people actually want to wear. '' Sighing, he brought the gauntlets back to the center of his dimensional storage.
He put the unfinished gauntlets to the side and took a blueprint scroll. After taking it out of its wrapping, he unrolled it and placed it in the middle of the dimensional storage.
''Activate Formation. ''
Almost immediately after Raydon's words, the entire blueprint vanished, leaving behind only the form of a star. This star shape grew and morphed into a formation that bore mysterious symbols as it expanded.
He picked up the gauntlets once more and positioned them on the upper left of this star. After that, he inserted 1 death-type E-Rank life core into the top right corner. On the left end, he put the black bone he had recovered from the Golden Skeleton's inheritance, while on the right end, he put a wide variety of parts from various mobs and elements.
And when he was satisfied that everything was in its proper place, he took the shadow blood and began pouring it on the upper part of the star-shaped formation, which was empty and still in need of placement.
As Raydon poured the black blood from the transparent bottle in his hand, the blood began to slowly disperse by flowing evenly from one end of the star to the other, making contact with the materials at each end and connecting all the pieces.
''The rest, I suppose, is up for observation. '' Once the vial was empty of blood, he stood back to observe.
After the materials in each of the star's four corners came into contact with this black blood, they started to take on a liquid form and quietly began to decompose into this black blood. This process occurred very slowly and in complete silence.
Raydon had been watching this slow process for two hours when all the materials, including the gauntlets Raydon had made earlier, had completely disappeared, leaving only the black liquid, which was now slowly beginning to gather towards the center.
This dark fluid accumulated in the center of the star and began to take form. Before his eyes, the star shape on the ground suddenly vanished as the black blood took the shape of a pair of gauntlets. It had also transformed from a liquid state into the appearance of jet-black metal.
After taking a good look at the newly crafted item, Raydon proclaimed, "Now this is something I would definitely wear."
These gauntlets now appeared to be covered in dragon scales made of dark but shiny metal, and the underside was entirely made of fine leather, making them look very different from what Raydon had previously created. Most significantly, it no longer had the ostentatious claws that were present in its previous form.
"I hope it was a success." As the gauntlet lay on the ground, he excitedly walked over to it and picked it up to inspect it.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
