Chapter 155 - Masterful Item Creator


[Day 144]


Today in the morning due to my constant crafting work, I decided to finally change my Sub Cla.s.s. I realized I had a lot of stockpiled Subcla.s.s points, due to this, I decided to select the best subcla.s.s I had in terms of crafting and alchemy, named [Masterful Item Creator]. It comes with interesting skills, some of them can help me out in the creation of completely new items using my own materials, secretions, and threads. The entire Sub Cla.s.s is focused on the user creating its own inventions with the help of the skills, so it was perfect.


I also bought fifty more Daily Synthesis chances, which now let me fuse as many items and skills as I want without having any restriction on it, now I could even fuse over ten skills in one go! That will be certainly tiring for my Mental Fatigue, but the results should be outstanding.


In total, I bought the skills [Original Item Creation Sudden Insight], [Idea Producing Bubble], [Information Storing Cloud], [Parallel Crafting], [Multi-Tasking Master], [Original Idea Recipe Creation], [Daily Synthesis +20] and [Daily Synthesis +30] for 172 Sub Cla.s.s Points. I only had 3 points left, phew…


After having this done, I used the plenty of Synthesis uses on fusing several Soul Cores extracted from the Undead Skeletons that Rydia summons every day, alongside this, I also fused various monster cores like Slimes, Golems, Phoenix, etc.


For a moment, I suddenly stopped, and thought; Why don"t I just fuse them with the Soul Cores too?


And so, I did,


Fusing two hundred Soul Cores into a super-concentrated Soul Core, and then fusing it with a Chimera Core, which is the fusion of hundreds of different monster cores, created what was called Chimera Soul Core, it had all the magic storage properties alongside information storage and could even function as a heart, or multiple ones.


Although using these for the Walls would be too expensive, for the Summoning Clones it was just right. Maybe when I manage to get over one hundred clones, we can even ma.s.s produce these expensive fused cores, and go even further beyond.


Because I was feeling with full of energy and enthusiasm, I gave it my all and made six Summoning Clones today! It was very tiring… I ended up so hungry that I quickly devoured over a hundred Soul Cores and random food on my Item Box.


As I reached the dining room, I had another comforting lunch with my family. I ended up spoiling Valentia once again… At least Aarae is a good and calm child, he"s always at my side while eating his own food. He eats the least of all of us and usually likes sus.h.i.+ preparations with lots of seafood. He doesn"t like soups that much, but he loves boiled forest grains, which is close to rice, he cannot drink yet but drinks a special Soda produced in Aquaria made out of delicious fruits and honey. He also has a sweet tooth.


As Aarae was calmly eating his food, I patted his head as he looked at me with his beautiful aquamarine eyes.


"Mommy? W-What is it?"


Ahh… So cute…


"N-Nothing! Nothing at all…! K-Keep eating, my son. I was just… patting your head"


"Huh? Okay, I like when mommy is lovely with me"


Uagh! I-I can barely… resist… As I looked at Aarae calmly eating his food, I kept caressing his head for several minutes, he didn"t seem to mind.


Afterward, I dedicated myself to work on the crafting of equipment once again, having gained plenty of Stamina and having relaxed, releasing Mental Fatigue, I spent the rest of the day creating new and different types of equipment that could use the Summoning Materials to its fullest potential.


With the help of Kusuri, Kajiya, Brontes, and Charlotte, we began creating ideas and recipes, as if we were a big team. The first idea that I came out with was using Slimes that were previously synthesized with minced monster meat, this monster meat is mostly made out of Lesser Dryads and Gnomes, to give them a high magic density while including their properties. Like this, we created a slime capable of gaining MP through the absorption of the environment energy, which is limitless.


Using this slime, which was different and more powerful than my Flesh and Slime minions with similar properties, we ma.s.s-produced it using this easy method and then fused it with several pounds of powdered Monster Cores, creating a paste. This paste was then forged into ingots using Kajiya and Brontes masterful techniques.


The ingot had a beautiful red and green crystalline color, and was actually quite hard, most probably because it was forged by them. Forging cla.s.ses have special skills that increase the power and durability of what they create.


We used this new ingot to create new equipment in conjunction with my Golden Thread Ingot, and Golden Illusion Fabric. It seems that this method, which doesn"t use any valuable item outside of Summoning Materials entirely was successful.


The equipment that comes from this material was extremely st.u.r.dy and held a high concentration of magic, increasing the user"s capabilities. Each equipment came with interesting skills like [Lesser Photosynthesis], [Lesser Natural Energy Absorption], [Lesser Element Resistance], [Lesser Element Affinity], etc.


Its power was even higher than the ma.s.s-produced ones, and because the ma.s.s-produced ones ask for thousands of valuable Magic Cores, perhaps crafting a type of magical machine that can craft this would be easier and more convenient.


The machine was finished after five hours, surprisingly. Working with such talented people really speed up things immensely. The Machine was made with magic resistant minerals and filled with High-Quality Magic Cores and Thunder Spirit Stones as batteries.


The whole thing resembled a giant cube made out of metal, inside of it there was a very complicated mechanism that used a lot of my Flesh and Slime minions to keep things going smoothly. The machine successfully applies the materials previously created and using the recipes given to my Flesh and Slime Minions, they did everything correctly. With this, I will be able to arm my ever-growing army even faster.


There were also more simple magic machines made to pulverize the Summoned monster meat while fusing it with the slimes to then convert it into the perfect ingot.


This ingot could be incredibly valuable with all the properties it has, I could certainly sell it for a fortune on a Kingdom and it would be instantly bought. If a talented enough blacksmith uses these ingots, he could surely make [Mythical+] equipment or more.


Having this done, it was already late in the night so I said my goodbyes to Kusuri and Kajiya and went with Brontes and Charlotte towards the dining room, where we had dinner with my family.


While having dinner, I received an update from the Athetosea Kingdom internal war, it seems that it will happen sooner than I think. According to Alice, it should begin in three days…


For the most part, things are almost ready, I"ve been overdoing it just because of my cautious nature, but I suppose I should get everything done by tomorrow.

[Day 145]


Tomorrow we will leave with my troops and servants towards the Athetosea Kingdom, I had already left Alice to do all the paperwork and to notify about us coming to aid their side. By the way, the side Alice is taking is the one that desires to exploit their folk and generate income this way instead of the war power.


Certainly, all the n.o.bles are already hypnotized by her and enslaved by my Flesh and Slime Minions by now, so they said "yes" to anything Alice said, notifying the guards about us and to not attack our demi-human army.


Due to the Champions having incredible detection capabilities, I decided to upgrade all my equipment with Illusion Fabric, alongside this, I generated hundreds of Illusion Coatings for me, so even my "essence" won"t leak out and I will seem like the weakest and purest of fairies to these humans. Probably thinking that I will aid in the healing and support department.


Talking about Champions and Elemental Knights, they"re all being manipulated by the Champion of Psychic Eyes and don"t actually belong to any side but hers only. However, she is making them fight so the side she wants to wins.


War Power Side has; [The Hero of Raging Winds], [The Champion of Psychic Eyes], [The Champion of Freezing Winter], [The Champion of Earth-Shattering Arms], [Elemental Knight of Fire], [Elemental Knight of Earth], [Elemental Knight of Gemstones] and [Elemental Knight of Holy].


Exploiting Side has; [The Champion of Black Flames], [The Champion of Emerald Trees], [Elemental Knight of Water], [Elemental Knight of Shadows] and the [Elemental Knight of Poison].


They really got the strongest ones in their side; this battle is supposed to be a one-sided fight for the Half-Dodomeki woman. She must have similar plans to me, take over the Kingdom when it"s the most weakened after this conflict.


Well, I"m going to devour her before she can even accomplish such goals.


Anyways, today I dedicated myself to the construction of more defensive buildings around town. With enough resources and the Kingdom System, things went smoothly.


I created twenty different towers surrounding the town while also being protected by hundreds of Giant Undead Warriors. Giant Undead Warriors are too slow to fight in big wars, so I always leave them to defend the town. Well, they also take a lot of time to produce.


I also used the Magic Gun parts alongside other magic technology, slimes, golem and monster cores, and my Flesh and Slime Minions to create giant guns that would shoot at any foe coming closer. I called these items [Defending Magic Gatling Gun]. They can easily discern from enemy or foe due to my Flesh and Slime Minions operating them from the inside.


Now that Gaby can summon [Merfolk Pirate Captains] that come with an Organic Weapon resembling a Magic Gun, we can use these as materials to do even better Magic Guns, quickly increasing our development in this area. I"ve also begun to craft my own Magic Guns, and even created pure Healing Magic Guns, that can shoot healing bullets that restore HP, MP or Stamina, and even negative ailments.


Afterward, I met with Redgaria and the Wyvern Overlord to talk about our plans. Both of them seem to agree that it would be better for them to wait outside of Athetosea Kingdom and only raid the place if they find us out.


Talking about these two geezers, the Wyvern Overlord has been training with his family, they recently came back from exploration towards the [Forsaken Labyrinth]. The powerful Wyvern Family managed to reach further to the 40th floor, and managed to beat the boss named "Sphinx Empress of Golden Sands".


It was a [Chimera] type of monster with the lower half being of a giant golden lion and the upper half of a beautiful giant woman, it had ma.s.sive golden wings on its back and could fly at incredible speeds while attacking with its lion claws or powerful magic. These types of half humanoid monsters in this dungeon lack any type of complex intellect so they are more like wild beasts, even if they do appear to be humanoid.


This boss was quite strong, and rivaled the Sand Wyvern we fought the other day, however, the Wyvern Family is naturally incredibly strong, so they managed just fine after fighting the boss for an entire day. After this fight, most of them are closer to max level, I wonder if they can evolve again. Although Wyverns level very slowly, because of the bonuses granted tot hem by being my servants, they can gain absurd amounts of extra EXP alongside having a high chance of evolving.


Can the Wyvern Overlord evolve, even if he"s a sword? Perhaps the sword itself will strengthen, although it"s already a lesser [Legendary] cla.s.s item that originally came from a skill that I obtained after fusing many weapon-related abilities. When it fused with the Wyvern Overlord soul, it became an independent item that I don"t need to save inside of my [Skill Window] like other weapons. Although he"s not half as strong as he used to be, the Wyvern Overlord is steadily growing in levels and regaining various of his older skills.


On the other side, Redgaria has recently advanced on his studies and has managed to strengthen his body to a small extent by Synthetizing himself with various magic circuits that he crafted using the materials from Magic Guns alongside Magic Cores. Due to these magic circuits, he can pump magic through his veins, slowly regaining strength.


After becoming an Undead, his body has weakened through all these years, but thanks to this, it seems to be steadily increasing in power and even gaining some youth. He has also created various new types of Ritual Spells that need tons of sacrifices, especially human bodies, which we had plenty.


With this, he can create Scrolls which can instantly summon certain magic spells. Human bodies are especially good materials for the creation of Scrolls as their bodies are abnormally filled with Magic, more than normal monsters, demi-humans, and summoned creatures. I"ve been thinking about refining their bodies into crystals and ingots, and use them for equipment, even their blood if in a good state, is very valuable. My children love human blood and usually drink a lot every day.


As the meeting and plans were settled, it was already very late, so I quickly reunited with my family in the dining room and had a hearty dinner with everyone.


Tomorrow everything will finally start, I need to remain cautious, my enemies this time are not just stupid monsters.
