Although this Eclipse arrow seemed like a huge waste of money, Black Spider couldn't resist asking. -What materials are needed?
The woman took a small notebook and a pencil from inside the pocket of her blacksmith's apron, then began to write some things down, tore the paper out, and handed it to Black Spider.
As soon as Black Spider grabbed the paper, apprehensive, and looked at its contents, his eyes nearly popped out from widening so much.
-This thing... you could build a huge galactic fleet with it.- Black Spider said, after swallowing hard.
Demeria seemed a little embarrassed. - Why do you think I never tried to forge it?
-Wait, you've never forged it before? What if you fail at forging?!- Black Spider asked, shocked.
Demeria looked even more embarrassed, scratching her chin, she said. - Well, I'm at least 50% sure I forged it! No! 60%!
Black Spider stared at her expressionlessly, making Demeria break out in a cold sweat, but she still maintained a confident facade.
Black Spider rolled his eyes and asked. -Do you have the materials here?
-Of course! Master Avens is a Mage with many connections, we have a wide variety of materials available!- Demeria's eyes sparkled, but she spoke a little shyly. -But some of the items can only be traded, not bought.
-Alright.- Black Spider sighed, in any case the cost would be around 10 kg of Maktru, he had enough.
If anyone knew he was spending so much on a consumable arrow that might even fail at the forge, they'd probably think he was crazy, however, for some reason, Ringo had a kind of premonition about Demeria.
He didn't know what it was, he even tried to use his vision of the future, but he didn't see anything in any of the possibilities.
He had no idea what that feeling was, but in any case, he still manages to get several kilos a month of Maktru from the clone in Kandor, spending 10 now is just a little painful.
Demeria's eyes lit up, Black Spider could see that her cold facade had given way to a little girl who seemed ready to jump for joy.
Seeing Black Spider staring at her curiously, Demeria coughed into her hand and looked away, embarrassed.
Right after that, she jumped away, excited. - Wait here, I'll call Master Avens!
Black Spider paused for a moment, feeling that he had forgotten something, then, seeing the dagger with the Lich Phylactery on the counter, his lips trembled.

(Ringo's POV)
Ringo was with Eva in a rented training room. Eva was on the floor, breathing heavily. Ringo stood, waiting for her to get up, his evolutionary field open, constantly working on her body.
-I can feel it, I can force the start of racial evolution.- Eva said, breathing heavily.
Ringo didn't need her to say it, he could sense it even better than she could. If it weren't for Ringo asking her not to start evolving directly, but instead to wait for him, she would have already begun.
Sure, it could take months or years for its evolution to complete,but once it starts, not even Ringo could interfere with the gene selected, just speed up the process.
Therefore, she had to contain its growth.
Ringo smiled, taking something out of his pocket, a genetic serum. He'd obtained it on this very planet, the cost was high, not comparable to top-of-the-line Grade A materials, but still...
This is a genetic serum that can break the genetic limiter for a few minutes. Its effect in real combat is that you gain a large boost in attributes, but unfortunately it's temporary and only works up to Grade A.
However, for Ringo, the temporary effect is ridiculous and he's not really interested in it, the real reason he was so excited to get this genetic serum was that it's based on the Saint-Galaxy Human Race.
This was one of the final advances of the human race.
Due to the large number of humans in diverse environments scattered throughout the galaxy, there are several possible "final" evolutionary paths for humans.
Although none of them are truly ridiculously powerful like the other races in the galaxy, human adaptability is among the best, leading to significant differentiation among each of these races.
Whether it's improvement in terms of attributes or skills.
For Ringo, the Saint-Galaxy Human Race is merely passable, like most races, it removes genetic limitations, making growth no longer stagnant due to the race, and also granting a ton of "hidden" attributes that were previously limited by genes but are now fully available.
However, for others, it is still an extremely versatile option.
Ringo researched and discovered that the Saint-Galaxy Human Race focuses on the body, particularly its vitality.
For a pugilist like Eva, it was a very good option.
Without further hesitation, with Eva still recovering from the exertion of training, he bent down and applied the genetic serum directly to her shoulder. Eva didn't even blink, she already knew what was going to happen.
As the serum's effect began, Ringo placed his hand on Eva's body and started releasing a large volume of energy. For a Grade C Super, Ringo's energy seemed like an endless sea. Even so, this energy wasn't harmful at all, but Eva felt like a fish in that sea, swimming happily.
Ringo began manually altering Eva's genes, so Eva couldn't control her evolution, she was activated directly, but thanks to Ringo, she was completely guided.
Bypassing any genetic barrier, there were more than a dozen evolutions between a Galactic Human I and a Saint-Galaxy Human Race, but all of that was ignored by Ringo. Eva didn't even feel pain, Ringo had deactivated her pain receptors at a soul level. She only felt empty for a moment.
The evolution that should have taken months or years took only a few minutes.
When it was over, Eva didn't look much different on the outside, but as soon as she opened her eyes, her honey-colored eyes gleamed with energy. She clenched her fist, she had advanced to Grade B. Not only that, but due to breaking the race limiter, she was approaching the strength of a Grade B+ despite having just passed it.
Of course, since she didn't have the power of evolution, she lost the power of her previous evolution, now she is a pure Saint-Galaxy Human, only when she progresses from Grade A to Grade S that she will be able to regain some of her previous racial abilities.
Eva took a deep breath, excited, looking at Ringo. She jumped directly at him. Ringo wasn't surprised. Eva's pugilistic flames ignited around them. Eva knew these flames wouldn't harm Ringo in the slightest, but her goal was simply to burn all his clothes off!
Ringo rolled his eyes, luckily, he had foreseen this and put his magic bag away.
He didn't stop Eva, right there, the two began to roll passionately on the floor.
