But that is only what it seems. Asther knows that the only reason why they aren’t asking yet is because they are still a bit shocked with everything that has happened. It’s not easy to cope with the fact that he just killed off all those ogres in that short span of time.This monster type, jus like the golems, are known for their sturdy constitution. They aren’t creatures that can easily be taken down no matter what. In fact, it would usually take a group of three people to take down a single ogre. And that even requires that these three people should be seasoned warriors.This very concept seem to be insulted by what Asther did. That’s why he also knows that the current state of his allies is perfectly valid. At the same time, he also figured that they won’t actually accept things as they are. In fact, he knows that they’d be asking things soon enough and, the questions that he thought of in his head, are the same ones that his allies began speaking of.“How can we be sure that you a
“REALLY?!?” Tyre and Parch said this in unison as soon as Octavia said what the bullet shell is made of.“As surprising as it sounds, that is the fact.” Asther said. “You can check the container yourselves, you’d see that there is a bit of similarity that it shares with the giant lizard’s scales.”“You mean to tell me you shaped all of those scales and turned them into this?” Claire asked.There is a perfectly valid reason as to why Claire sounded the way she did. This is because, forging small objects is a lot more difficult compared to forging large objects. The smaller the object being forged, the more complex and the more difficult it usually is as well. That is why it came as a surprise to everyone that Asther is able to make something like that. A container for a fractured mana crystal.Being a holder for the said material is already shocking as it is. A fractured mana crystal is so delicate that the slightest friction might cause it to explode. That is why these, although still
The second part that Asther needs to explain is a lot more difficult compared to the first one. The information about the fractured mana crystals is a lot easier to explain because, this is already a concept which they know about. They already know of the fractured mana crystals since this is something that has always existed within Jhinn. Dating back to the first years of this world’s creation in fact.On the other hand, the bullet shells doesn’t share this history. There are no records of its creation, nor would there be one anytime soon. This is a foreign item that should not even exist in the world of Jhinn. But because of Asther’s meddling, wit, and creativity, he’s able to forge not only this but the Prototype as well.The necromancer already thought of the simplest description he can give to the group. But even this felt lacking to him. That’s why he revised it in his mind a couple more times. And although the final outcome of this is a lot better compared to when he started of
“Alright, that should be fine.” Claire said this as soon as Asther showed the final results.“Wait. Really?” Tyre asked in surprise. “We aren’t even gonna press further and ask him how he is able to use a seemingly high level of spell that should only be available to a blacksmith?”“Yeah. I mean, he didn’t explain anything about how the scale could turn into that shape at all.” Parch added. “Heck, it doesn’t even look like a scale anymore. The surface is so smooth that you can mistake it for a tile in a mansion.”“I sad...” Claire looked at the group with a bit of annoyance. “that should be fine.”Parch and Tyre instantly folded. They didn’t bother saying anything more. As for Octavia, she is more than willing to follow what Claire wants. Zipping her lips shut and letting the saintess do what she wants.“Go to the area of the loot and collect everything. Place it on the pouch.” Claire said, taking the said container from Asther without even asking for permission. “Do I make myself cle
That night, the group ate the same as they always do. The only difference this time around is that it’s Asther who’s preparing the meal. It’s finally time for the necromancer to show his culinary skills. The same skills that he sharpened back on earth.The only reason why he volunteered on doing this is because, he didn’t want the skill to go to waste. Ever since he went to Jhinn, there have only been a few occasions where he was allowed to cook. A couple of days in his village which, didn’t really count as real cooking since there wasn’t much ingredients and spices he could work with at that time.Then there’s his time in the forest and when he first grouped up with Claire’s team. As for when he entered the city of the Ragencliffs, there was no chance for him to cook at all. However, now that they are back in the wild and, more importantly, inside a dungeon, Asther can finally try out his cooking skills once again.He chose that day because, fortunately for them, they are able to cat
The real reason as to why Asther suddenly decided on these matches is because of one thing, the progressing quests. At the moment, there aren’t any new quests for the four. Instead, there is a message that, the necromancer knows, is undoubtedly directed to him and nobody else.[Notice: The first part of the progressing quests have been finished by this party member. To unlock the second part, an overall assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the party member is required.]This message appeared for all of Asther’s allies without exemption. All of them has gotten to the end point of the first part of the progressing quests. This is a good thing in a way because, Asther is able to find out that there are different parts to the progressing quests. This also means that there is a chance for it to extend for a longer period of time as well. Something which Asther wants more than anything else for the sake of his allies.That is why the sparring sessions have been scheduled. As soon a
“Hacsadwuza?”“Yes, good morning to you too Tyre.” Asther commented with a grin.“Wha-What…”Tyre immediately got up from the ground. He felt a bit lightheaded because of doing so. At the same time, there’s still a bit of lag in his memories. Preventing him from understanding the situation right away. But this didn’t last for long.Right before Tyre could say another word, a look of realization got drawn on his face. He closed his lips and there’s a bit of disappointment that could be felt from him.“So you already understand. That’s good.” Asther replied.Tyre is certain that he lost. That’s the only reason why he woke up in the state he is in. It surely wasn’t a dream that he fought Asther because he can still feel the sweat all over his body which also drenched his clothes.Furthermore, there’s the fact that he felt drained. It felt like he can’t take another step anymore. At the same time, the back of his head hurt a bit. Looking back, this was the last thing that he remembered be
Asther wasn’t lying when he told Tyre that he defeated everyone else after more than an hour’s worth of time. As to how he did this, the participants need to be looked back to one by one. Beginning with the next fighter who is none other than Parch.“So it’s the Cleaver next huh.” Asther said as he looked at the said soldier.They didn’t fight right off the bat just like the first bout. Instead, Asther’s summons were on the field, picking up the unconscious Tyre and taking him out of the range of the arena.Including Parch, everyone else witnessed the entirety of the fight clearly. It was a fast match no doubt. Not in the sense that they finished quickly but, in the sense that all of the movements performed by Tyre are done at their maximum speed.Asther moved to this rhythm of course. The necromancer did dodge all of the attacks without even having to block a single time. Everyone saw this clearly. Except for Tyre who was the sacrificial lamb for the first fight, everyone else was ab
