Chapter 112: Infinity Armour (1)

“What is this?”

The light immediately disappeared.

Yihi was scared but hurriedly regained her stability.

She grumpily kicked the nasty flesh, only to hurt her toes. She frowned as she rolled and examined the flesh from every direction…it only took a little bit to realize that his form had changed.

“Uhh, he absorbed the root.”

The sharp and solid root. The light was from the flesh absorbing it and now the changes were obvious. The flesh had used it as a source of magic power.

“Flesh. Are you angry with Yihi?”

Yihi’s conscience was pricked and she released the flesh. Before there was wonderful elasticity as she poked it, but now it was extremely hard. The rigid body was like he was angry.

“It didn’t work. This ~ it isn’t fun.”

Duk!

Yihi kicked the rigid flesh.

“Ya!”

Obviously she got a sore foot.

Yihi rolled around on the ground. Despite doing the same thing just seconds before, Yihi hadn’t learned.

“Hiing, I’m not playing with you!”

Yihi cried out and flew off to harass the bees.

Stein.

The elder of the dwarves assigned to the 7th floor of the dungeon. He was now heading towards the 15th floor with some sturdy dwarves.

“Elder Stein-nim. Will we get some good roots this time?”

“Get rid of the anxiety in your voice. We aren’t going to beg.”

“But…we aren’t dark elves. Frankly, I feel a little uncomfortable facing them.”

“Bah, we just have to ignore them since Dungeon Master commanded us to get the roots. And the Tree of Origin didn’t grow here due to chance. It is all thanks to the greatness of Dungeon Master!”

Stein had an upright character.

The dwarves and elves were enemies. Their mood darkened every time they met.

However, the roots from the Tree of Origin were a very good material. The dwarves could quickly improve their skills making decent armour and they could boost their reliability with the Dungeon Master. It was important to obtain the Roots of Origin.

But they always needed to negotiate with the dark elves for the roots. It was ludicrous and absurd. They wouldn’t even be able to see them if it wasn’t for Dungeon Master.

Stein laughed and then snorted.

“We are productive dwarves. On the other hand, they just grow a few plants. We can do at least that much.”

“In many ways, we can be considered proxies of the Dungeon Master.”

“They’ll see soon. Right now the woman called Chrisley is handling the roots, but that will soon change. Once the ‘dwarf king’ is born, we will be in the top position in the dungeon.”

“That’s right. I will be waiting eagerly for that day.”

A sturdy young dwarf replied. The thought of having the authority of a Dungeon Master caused them to be thrilled.

After walking through the forest for a while, Stein frowned.

“By the way, no one came to greet us…ey, such lazy bastards.”

“Isn’t that their original nature?”

“Tsk tsk. This is why the dark elves…eh?”

Stein was spitting when he suddenly cocked his head.

There was something sparking in the bushes. The dwarf poked it with a foot and revealed what it was.

“This…”

A metal sheet.

Stein touched it, patted it, brought the metal plate to his ear and other actions.

“Elder-nim. What is it?”

“A material I’ve never seen before. I can’t feel any magic power from it. I’ll have to hammer at it.”

The eyes of the young dwarf shone.

“Will Elder-nim work on the metal?”

“Of course. Rather, there is a lot I don’t know about it.”

Stein didn’t have the inherent knowledge of all metals that the ‘dwarf king’ was born with.

He had no choice but to study. But it was so interesting.

‘It is unusual. Like something that has just been born into this world.’

In his hand was the newly born, unidentified metal.

Just imaging the results caused his heart to be excited.

Kaaang! Kaaang!

Stein sat in front of a hearth and hammered it.
