Chapter 167 (2/2)

Akto shared a very old story

The final battle ended with the allied forces winning The Demon Lord had to take the Demons and the forces from the Demon World and return to the Demon World

That passageway is this Demons' Mine

However, the Demon Lord's poere not completely withdrawn The Deh level in the Western District

That h the Demons' Mine

The Fairy sealed some of her powers in the Orb and hid it in the De As long as her powers are maintained, the Deeway to the Demon World

I had an odd thought after hearing about that

“Then the passage to the Deain if the Fairy'sobdisappears?”

“I suppose so”

“Then ould the Fairy tellthis path for them?”

“That probably er For exaht have been created”

I understood what he meant

There was no reason there had to be only one passage to the Demon World The Dee of sorts as well

A passage could even open in the middle of Peria Mountain A Demon Cave had already opened there once

Considering that situation, sealing just this passage would leave us vulnerable to the power of the Dees

The Fairy is trying to recover her strength in order to prevent those variables fro into play That is the only way to respond to the power of the Dee

“Then where is the Fairy'sob I need to retrieve it and take it back to the Fairy”

“I will lead you to the location of the Fairy'sob But you will need to be careful There areinside the Demons' Mine”

I was a bit worried about it I learned how to fight against the Dee if they are in a large group

We still needed to do e could

“I understand We will rest here for a bit before continuing on I need to fortify the Dwarves' weapons as well”

“Oh, right here?”

I didn't knohether I should I'm not picky about where I do it, but the problem was that Demons or monsters could attack us at any moment

I looked toward Akto

“nobody will interrupt us, right?”

Akto started to laugh

“There are no Demons or monsters nearby, so you don't need to worry”

The Dwarves then started to shove their weapons to me

“Please do mine first”

“What do you mean? Haven't you heard the human idiom about how even cold water has a top and bottom? Mine is first” (TL: Korean idiom for respect your elders)

I' to fortify all of their weapons The chances of retrieving the Fairy'sobgo up if the Dwarves becoer

But it's quite funny The later I fortify their weapon, the stronger it will be My skill will go up with each fortification

Of course, there probably won't be much of a difference

I sat down on the ground I then rando shoved toward me

“Be quiet from here on The fortification can fail if my focus is disturbed”

Everybody quickly became quiet

The Dwarves were also glaring at each other It was as if they were saying that they wouldn't forgive anybody who made a peep

Thansk to that, it was easy to focus

I first checked the status of my Jewel Alchemy skill I then almost shouted out

[Jewel Alchemy: Advanced Level 3, 99]

'Wow! When did this happen? When did it go up to Advanced Level 3?'

But that was not it It was Advanced Level 3 at 99 percent Advanced Level 4 was right around the corner

I knew that the secret of Alchenificantly, but I didn't expect it to be this much

'Then should I see the effects of Advanced Level 3?'

My bag was full of Jewels of Fortification It was because I received Jewels of Fortification and Jewel of Luck each tie

I had probably over 100 Jewels of Fortification

Goonto and the other Dwarves each had at least five on theht it so that they could ask me to fortify their weapons if there was a chance

Of course, there was no point to use them as they were All of them had low fortification indexes

“Give me the jewels you have”

[Jewel of Fortification: Fortification Index 9]

[Jewel of Fortification: Fortification Index 9]

I grabbed two of the them

But co them felt much different than before

First of all, the time it took shortened a lot The last time I combined jewels it took at least fivethem in less than 30 seconds

It also felt nice It felt like so that was completely cleanly

I carefully looked at the results

[Jewel of Fortification: Fortification Index 17]

'Wow!'

I had to questiontwo 9 jewels Thatprocess

Maybe I could do a perfect combination if I try a bit harder

Furtherhest one I've ed until noas only 19

Maybe I could reach a her fortification index this time

'Let's try it! Focus!'

I picked up a jeith a fortification index of 7 I then tried to combine it with the 17 jewel

Harrison and the others were suppressed by the presence the Dwarves were giving off that they couldn't even approachmy expression, however, they stayed far away in order to not hinder my fortification or co sure that everyone remained quiet

Maybe that was the reason I could easily focus and I finished coain

I checked the results with a heart full of anticipation
