Chapter 167: Akto's Reward (3)

I know I grabbed Akto's hand, but I couldn't touch it It was as if it was a soul that could not be touched I guess you could say it was like a hologram with no physical body?

I tried again, but the sa happened

However, Akto did not take his hand away It was as if he was telling me to find a way to do it

“Do not give up and shake my hand Then the reward I promised will naturally become yours”

I felt so that

There was a similarity between the two

Akto was a soul without a physical body

Siy existed inside the jeithout a physical body

I think I get it

He rab his soul with my hand That's the way to reach the real apex of Jewel Alchemy

I cal Akto's soul as if it was an ingredient for jewel combination

Then I reached ain

I still couldn't grab Akto's hand However, I made myself believe that Akto's physical body was there and continued to focus

I then suddenly felt an unknown source of war out of Akto's body

This changewell

I focused evenout from Akto

It started to get stronger the longer I focused Especially the war froible I could feel our hands starting to touch

'I can feel it! I can grab it!'

I lightly shook Akto's hand

I definitely felt it It felt like Akto's skin touched rip like I did

That was how I shook hands with Akto

Akto started to shter

“A! I didn't expect you to realize it this quickly! Is it the difference between Dwarves and humans? Or are you just special?”

I could not respond I was too busy focusing on not losing the feel Akto's hand was giving me

The feeling was not perfect I did rab Akto's hand, but it was extree that could disappear at any th would turn it into smoke

I focused and focused soer as I continued, and I could feel the strength in Akto's grip better as well

I heard Akto's voice again in a moment

“That ot I am really a that took me tens of years!”

There was no ression as Akto mentioned

Akto reain even though I didn't let go

I had no choice but to pull my hand back in

Akto turned his gaze again He looked toward the Dwarves with an affectionate gaze He was especially paying attention Goonto

“You already reached One with the Sword at such an early age I'm shocked at your achievements”

“Thank you very much It is an honor to meet you in person like this, Akto-nim”

“You came all the way here to rescue ive all of you rewards as well, but I do not have anything Is there so you want from me?”

“You are the hero of all Dwarves! I got toable to rescue you with my own hands is both an honor and a reward in itself”

I could feel that Goonto meant it

Akto should have felt it as well Maybe that hy his expression softened even more

“But I still wish to give you so I have is infor about this place”

Oh, that's really nice to hear

There's still things for us to take care of here We were kind of stuck because we had no information

It was also a chance to make Akto owe me a favor

I quickly cut into the conversation

“I will give the Dwarves rewards on your behalf, Akto-nim”

“You will? How?”

Akto, as well as Goonto and the Dwarves, looked toward azes full of expectations

Giving the Dwarves a reas simple I knehat Dwarves liked the most

“I will fortify their weapons one level more”

“Oh! You mean a two level fortification is possible?”

“Holy crap! Will you really do that?”

All of the Dwarves' eyes opened wide in joy It was as if they had received the best present in the world

Akto was very satisfied as well

“It is indeed the best gift you could give theue with each other and stay friends with the Dwarves forever”

“Of course I keep all oftime”

“Hahaha Thanks I' you want from me in return Tell me”

“I wish to know about the Demons' Mine”

“Which aspects?”

Can't he just tell ? For example, how many Demons are left, what is at the end of the Demon's Mine, what treasures are hidden here, etc

Well, I'll ask him one by one if he prefers that

But what should I ask first? He doesn't sound like he's going to give me an unlimited number of answers

There was so that came to mind The Western District quest still was not completed Maybe the solution for it could be hidden here as well

“I a for the Fairy'sob Do you know if it is hidden inside the Demons' Mine?”

I wasn't expectingin the Demons' Mine when it could be anywhere in the Western District was low

Even if it was here, Akto probably doesn't know about it

I asked just in case he

However, a shocking answer came out of Akto's mouth

“It's deep inside!”

“Excuse me? You mean it is here?”

“This is the place where the ainst the Demon World The allied forces of the huht the final battle here in order to push the Demon Lord out”
