Chapter 33 Part4 (2/2)
”Yeah, but if I can kill him by dying once, it's worth it. So, don't worry and just wait for me. We can beat him. But we're trying our very best to find a way that minimizes the damage to us.”
[Jin Taylor: ...]
Jin was speechless for a time but soon accepted his decision.
[Jin Taylor: When you die, I die, alright?]
”You got it.”
Once their conversation was finished, Kratia messaged him.
[Kratia Melloi: I think it's possible. Rem's amazing.]
”What about processing the materials?”
[Kratia Melloi: We'll need your help, but yeah, we can do it, s.h.i.+n Woo. But to use the golem, you need at least High Rank Fire Resistance and at least the High Rank Darkness element. It would be even better if you have the Fire element as well.]
”At least high rank. I got it. I'll try to get it that high.”
He'd asked her to bring everything she had, so Lee s.h.i.+n Woo could probably absorb one of them. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo replied and simultaneously brought out his staff, beginning to train his Fire Resistance.
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo used the 'Bone Winged Serpent' staff, which amplified the strength of the opposite element to change ice into fire and use it on himself. It was quite a crude method of training, but still, it was an effective way of training his Fire Resistance!
[Kratia Melloi: Also, Metafel just entered the Giants' domain. Fortunately, the core is amplifying the effects of the complex spatial barriers around the deeper areas. It'll be 1 hour and 54 minutes before he gets here.]
”If I bring you all the materials, how long would it take you to make the golem?”
[Kratia Melloi: I'm not sure, s.h.i.+n Woo. Come back soon.]
”...I'll come back as soon as possible.”
Once they were finished, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo spent his time h.e.l.lishly training his Fire Resistance. Once in a while, Jin or Kratia would report on the current situation, which made him feel more and more uneasy. They would tell him that Metafel had pierced through some of the barrier, or that their blueprints were almost done!
[Jin Taylor: I can kind of see him now, s.h.i.+n Woo. Are you almost ready?]
”...”
It had been three minutes since Jin's last report, but then, the s.p.a.ce seemed to shake and Pleine reappeared.
”I'm back... Kyaa! Why are you using fire in the shop!?”
”I'm training my Fire Resistance. More importantly, were you able to get them?”
”I was only able to get you one Lunatic Scarlet. I'm sorry.”
”Ugh...!”
s.h.i.+t, he was screwed! Now their only option was to prepare for death and charge! But since she'd at least brought him one, he could absorb it to increase his Fire Resistance, and use the core himself without the golem. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo gritted his teeth and extended his hand to ask for the Lunatic Scarlet. However, a small smile appeared on Pleine's exhausted face.
”However, I brought you something even better. You sure are lucky, Mr. s.h.i.+n Woo! Moreover, no one will buy it, it's dirt cheap compared to its original selling price.”
[Lv8 Shard of the Sun Temple's Central Pillar]
She had brought out a stone pillar... large enough to reach the ceiling of the shop. This was only a piece!? Moreover, the heat within was so much stronger than the Solar Fossil or the Lunatic Scarlet that it made him shudder.
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo gaped and Pleine winked at him boastfully.
”There's a ridiculous amount of heat contained within, but there aren't actually a lot of applications for it. In the end, it can only really be used to make a weapon by cutting it down. However, it's different for you, isn't it, Mr. s.h.i.+n Woo?”
”Of course.”
”Altogether, it costs 350 million Perium. I've cut the price down as much as I could, but if you don't have the money right now, then I can lend you... You have the money!? How did you get that much money!?”
”Thank you so much, Pleine!”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo quickly paid for his purchase and acquired the Shard of the Sun Temple's Central Pillar. The moment it touched Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's hand, the shard shook and amplified his heat greatly!
The shard fell onto Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, but when he touched it, the pillar emitted heat and disappeared. Surprisingly, just that was enough to increase his Fire Resistance slightly.
[You have acquired the Lv8 Sun Fossil.]
”Nice, the name's gotten simpler. Bone Reinforcement!”
He felt like he should use the Scarlet Solar Fossil to reinforce the Sun Fossil, but when he took into account their compatibility with the golem, he concluded that the Solar Fossil was better to use for the golem's body. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo didn't hesitate and reinforced the Scarlet Solar Fossil by using the Sun Fossil. As a result...
[The Scarlet Solar Fossil is being reinforced to the very limit. In addition, it can now produce divine energy as well.]
[You have acquired the Lv8 Hands That Cover the Sun.]
[The Bone Reinforcement skill has become Lv11! Through Bone Reinforcement, you can use power once forgotten.]
”Wow...”
The two miraculous objects had fused together in Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's hands, and ultimately, an unfathomable item had been born. Upon seeing that, Pleine was shocked. Did G.o.d lead Lee s.h.i.+n Woo into making an item like this? Mm, it didn't seem that way!
”Then, I'll eat this one.”
[Absorbing the Bone of Lunatic Scarlet through Bone Reinforcement. Magic has increased by 23. The Intermediate Fire Resistance and Fire Element have become Lv10, and have evolved to the high rank level! Magic has increased by 75!]
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo smiled at the overwhelming heat he felt well up in his body and turned around.
”Thank you so much, Pleine!”
”Ah, please tell me what you used that on next time!”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo waved his hand at her and left the secret shop. Pleine, who'd been left alone in the shop, looked vacantly as she thought back to the appearance of the 'Hands That Cover the Sun'. She soon shook her head and sat down in her spot. Then, she sighed and muttered.
”It's been a long time since I've pulled so many strings. It's a good thing I checked up on those ruins... I really hope no one will find out. Seriously, I really hope no one finds out...”
At that time, the surface was in chaos, but it seemed as though her prayer had been answered, as no one had seen the red haired beauty.
