Chapter 1574 Preparations
After Floresse finally arrived while walking in between all the elves sitting around barely being alive, her eyes were filled with fascination as she saw the two tall figures in front of her. I could even notice some strange gaze in her eyes. Is this woman mentally okay? Why would she look at a skeleton and a golem like that?! She"s really a monster freak… Thankfully I was in my humanoid form right now, because if I were in my b.u.t.terfly form, she would had probably been looking at me weirdly as well! Who knows?
"T-These are amazing high quality Monsters! The Skeleton Knight"s bones are so s.h.i.+ny and strong, amazing weapons can be made from them, and if dissolved into dust, it can also be used for alchemy, Mana Potions might be possible to be made with them and some other ingredients, which are always on high demand!" Floresse a.n.a.lyzed. "The armor is rusty, but this ore is special, Undead generated from Dungeons possess a unique Ore named Death Steel, it possess great properties and is very resistant to Ice, Water, and Fire element, so it is usually used to make new armor by melting and turning them into ingots, even if rusty. They"re exceptionally expensive, so summon a bunch of these!" She said. "And the golem… it is just stone, right? At the end, the only thing of value would be the Golem Core and then the Magic Crystal inside, Skeletons are more valuable, despite the difference in strength."
"I see, then we"ll go with that." I nodded.
Suddenly, the elves began to grow weaker and more terrified as they saw many skeleton knights appearing one after the other, their dreadful auras made a few of them pa.s.s out on the spot. Well, they didn"t die though. Also the skeletons are pacifists that wont do anything unless I tell them to, so they were safe and sound, they should stop being so melodramatic. Elves are always like this, sigh.
"Silva, I am leaving you the summoning, bear with it a day or two more and then we can go on an adventure to the desert. I"ll prepare ice cream for you too." I said. Silva could eat somehow.
"Oooh! Okay! New areas to explore sounds fun… and ice cream. Is it sweet?" She wondered.
"Yep." I answered. "Creamy, sweet, and cold for hot places."
"Ooooh…!" Silva was very easy to please, like a little girl, she loved tasting new food and exploring new places.
For the moment, I moved to other things. My three Egos had been actively hunting down monsters in the surrounding fiefdom. Monsters constantly come from the desert due to its high quant.i.ty of miasma that produces them easily and quickly, so even without a labyrinth here to get materials, the elves will simply have to s.h.i.+ft their attention to the outside of their walls. Although for now, we are doing them some cleaning job by killing monsters for them- well, my Ego Weapons, not me.
While looking at them from atop the Walls of the city, I saw several piles of monsters. These were all lesser beings so they didn"t gave the best EXP there was out there. Especially when I got so much EXP from the last battle, I need a lot now… And I mean, a LOT.
Sadly, killing all those guys that Silva is summoning doesn"t give me any EXP, so I am left hopeless with no EXP to get from them, and see them die without being able to get anything in return as their corpses are pilled up, enchanted with magic to not rot, and moved elsewhere.
Oh right, and about the Egos I made through the War… Well, two of them sacrificed themselves for me as they shattered and I quickly ate their remains alongside their destroyed Ego. Sadly eating an Ego by myself doesn"t give me anything, but I miraculously attained two Skills from them, Blazing Meteor and Blood Feast, which are pretty strong offensive Magic Skills.
Aside from them, there were two other Egos that survived- well, one survived and the other is pretty much Invidia… Yeah, the Blood Ring I had created using the combined Egos of the Triplet Princes is still there, giving me the pa.s.sive power of unleas.h.i.+ng Blood Aura in my troops, it greatly enhanced their strength enough to make them mighty and recognizable strong. Nonetheless, it was still kind of that. And well, there"s Invidia"s Super High-Quality Ego I got when Black used Predation on him.
I have yet to decide what to do with the ring and Invidia"s Ego, which I"ve kept with me. However, they"re pretty strong, I would either eat them and gamble a skill or do something else. Finding a fitting vessel for Invidia is hard, I want a good a.s.s sword, but I can"t really find anything great. I wish I was back home where Divine Materials were readily available, in here, things seem to have some sort of powerful energy, I don"t know if divine, but ores are rare unless I go to the faraway mountain range, and I am not into going into an adventurer just to forge myself a sword.
Well, for now it would be better to let my other three Egos evolve and see what they can gain from the evolution.
"Mama, we are back!"
A large, three-meter-big tiger made of water and rainbow essence emerged in front of me. My Egos had the power to teleport themselves right in front of me, it is the same principle as the power I have to summon them to my side.
"Welcome back dear." I said, petting Aquamarine"s head. He purred adorably, I had already become used to this form of his, which he seemed to also prefer. I do wonder what form the other two take would if they had the Beast Embodiment Skill.
FLAs.h.!.+ FLAs.h.!.+
Black and White appeared in front of me in their spear forms, bringing with them dozens of monsters impaled by their blades, which they had stretched for over 20 meters into the sky…
