Thanks for the suggestion. This actually allowed me to read again. One such chapter affected here: https://mangadex.org/chapter/732563ef-6fe1-4025-ba79-9b6cdcbdf3da/1
Note: I am on iOS Firefox incognito mode and completely up to date.
I’m starting to get very concerned that the previous blacksmith turned evil after deconstructing his allies (possibly in an attempt to revive them?). That could also explain the matters regarding weapon nullification, blacksmith monsters can only be beaten by blacksmith-grade weapons or better.
