Chapter 84 - Wings Strengthening (1) (1/2)
Essence of Earth: 62
Essence of Wind: 22
Essence of Darkness: 39
These were the essences piled up in the warehouse.
Some were obtained from Kang-jun’s battles, while others were found in mines, lakes and gra.s.slands.
The essences were used for advanced facilities, upgrades and summoning high level troops at the barracks.
In particular, the Essence of Earth were used to summon golem ratigers and the Essence of Darkness were necessary for the vampire mages. Keirun was collecting the Essence of Earth to create a future golem ratiger army and the Essence of Darkness to summon 100 vampire mages.
In other words, these essences weren’t easy to gather. They were literally rare items.
So he had to make a choice. Either strengthen his wings or strengthen the power of the base.
'Shall I see how much I get first?’
Kang-jun pulled out one Essence of Earth and brought it to his wings.
Then a question immediately appeared.
[Do you want to convert the Essence of Earth to Chaos Power?]
Yes/No]
‘Yes!’
The wings shone with a bright light.
[One point of Chaos Power has been obtained.]
-Chaos Power needed to upgrade to Stage 2: 1/1000
'What? Only one point?’
Kang-jun was dumbfounded. This meant that 1,000 essences were required to upgrade it to Stage 2.
He though that the Essence of Wind or Darkness might give more Chaos Power.
[One point of Chaos Power has been obtained.]
[One point of Chaos Power has been obtained.]
-Chaos Power needed to upgrade to Stage 2: 3/1000
”Each one only gives one point! 1,000 points is required to reach Stage 2 so this isn’t the answer.”
Then Keirun spoke with a confused expression.
”I've never seen the Wings of Chaos, just heard it through rumours. But one essence only gives one point. I don’t think it will be easy to strengthen your wing unless you meet a dimensional merchant.”
”What is a dimensional merchant?”
”You can meet them at the Dimensional Shelter.”
”Dimensional Shelter?”
”A shelter can be created using a Dimensional Piece. When a shelter is created, a dimensional merchant will appear. You can buy various types of essences.”
A merchant selling all types of essences existed. Kang-jun was delighted.
”That's great. By the way, how can I get a Dimensional Piece?”
Keirun scratched his head and said.
”If Lord is lucky then you might find it in an Aok, but it won’t be easy.”
”Aok.”
It meant a prison s.p.a.ce. Kang-jun had the Aok Key that could be used three times, but he hadn’t found an Aok yet.
It was at that moment. Naga Queen Melinad spoke with s.h.i.+ning eyes.
”I have a Dimensional Piece, Lord.”
“Really?”
Kang-jun was surprised. Keirun’s eyes widened. Melinad just smiled.
”I’ll give it to Lord if you need it.”
”I'm very thankful.”
Kang-jun didn’t refuse. A dimensional store wasn’t just good for strengthening his wings. It was possible to summon high level troops in large quant.i.ties since he could purchase essences in bulk.
Melinad pulled out a ring that shone with a blue light and pushed it towards Kang-jun.
”Accept it.”
”It is this ring?”
“Yes. A dimensional ring. It was my mother's keepsake. I’ve only received bad luck from this so I hope you get good luck. I had wondered if it was a ring of misfortune. Still, it is nice to know that Lord needs it. My best luck was meeting Lord so I don’t need any more luck.”
Kang-jun’s heart swelled with emotion.
“Thank you. Tell me if you want anything.”
“It’s okay. I am just glad that I can help Lord.”
”Then I'll get you a really good ring.”
“No. Just sometimes...”
“Sometimes?”
Melinad avoided Kang-jun’s gaze like she was embarra.s.sed.
”It would be nice if you could stroke my hair sometimes, but I know that isn’t easy.”
”It is easy. Of course I will do so.”
It was natural to stroke her head if she did something worthy of praise.
Seuk seuk.
Kang-jun immediately stroked Melinad’s head. Melinad laughed brightly like she was in a good mood.
”Thank you.”
”I will stroke your head at any time. You deserve it.”
Kang-jun smiled. On his other side, Keirun was staring at the dimensional ring.
”If you have a Dimensional Piece and 10,000 nodes then you can construct a Dimensional Shelter. The jewel in this ring is clearly a Dimensional Piece.”
”Make it right now.”
“Yes, Lord.”
[A shelter is being constructed on the roof of the Yugang building. 1%]
[2%, 3%...100%]
[A Stage 1 shelter has been completed on the roof of the Yugang building.]
Surprisingly, it was completed in seconds. Kang-jun went up to the rooftop with Keirun and Melinad.
Meanwhile, the rooftop door had changed to a portal.
There was a s.h.i.+mmering deep blue light that was like water.
As they pa.s.sed through, a large square was revealed.
[You have entered the Dimensional Shelter.]
[The Dimensional Shelter is a place for weary strangers wandering the dimensions to rest. This is now a deserted vacant lot and there will be no visitors other than merchants.]
[Two Dimensional Pieces are required to upgrade a shelter to Stage 2. If the shelter is connected to the rest area then more people will find it.]
'Do I need another Dimensional Piece to get it to Stage 2?’
He needed two of them. It was hard to get one so how can I obtain two?
He would be satisfied with Stage 1 for now.
On the other hand, the square was empty.
There was only a large magic circle on one side of the square.
Chuuuot!
