「Yin-Yang Divine Art (S)」 signified the union of yin and yang.
Simply put, it involved a man and a woman engaging in R-rated activities to enhance each other’s abilities. If my talent were related to exceptional performance, I might have considered using it too…
Then I rembered the 「Infinite Stamina (S)」 in one of my status windows.
“…”
It was really absurd every ti I saw it.
Although it’s specialized in R-rated aspects, it was still a very useful trait because it prevented from getting tired during training.
However, the problem was that it often put in dangerous (?) situations.
For instance, when others deliberately tried to seduce , it was hard to control even with 「Eternal Existence (S )」.
‘Should I buy another talent?’
Such thoughts crossed my mind.
Anyway, I gathered the mbers and inford them that we received this kind of information from the association.
“So, those who will assist the Heavenly Demon are , the Witch Maiden, the demon Dantalion, and so Seo Ga-yeon guild mbers, right?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s not a bad lineup. The demon is an immortal being anyway, so if push cos to shove, we can use Dantalion to ensure our survival.”
“What? Even Baal wouldn’t do such a thing! You guys are worse than demons!”
“How dare you compare our Heavenly Demon to a demon?”
The Elder’s point of anger was strange.
“Anyway, that’s how it is. The timing is next week.”
“Yes, understood.”
“Until then, focus on your training.”
After giving so simple instructions, I headed to Korea Hero School.
‘It’s been quite a while.’
Going to school felt unfamiliar.
Firstly, despite being a first-year student, I possessed unmatched power. Secondly, I didn’t attend school often.
‘Though I’m not intending to attend classes.’
My workshop was at the school.
I moved to the school using the warp gate. The workshop was still tidy. Although it’s rare, not only I but also the Emperor, Seo Ye-bin, sotis ca here to gather materials, or the vice-principal brought materials here often.
‘No one is here today.’
I entered the workshop. I took out the materials from the vault, which was protected by various magical devices.
Previously, the by-products from killing the demons in the Tower of Demons had appeared.
Today’s task was simple.
To refine these through alchemy.
I ward up and slowly handled the materials. First, the claws possessed by the demons. These were over 2 ters long and extrely hard. Next were the bones. The bones of the demons were very strong, making them good for use. The best way to utilize these is to make weapons out of them.
‘That’s what’s known.’
It’s actually okay to make them into weapons.
But I would make sothing else out of this.
Making them into weapons was not a bad idea, but I currently had the Black Heavenly Demon Sword and the Four Seasons Sword. Though the Four Seasons Sword was less efficient, it’s hard to make a weapon more efficient than the Black Heavenly Demon Sword with my and the vice-principal’s skills.
I sat down and started processing the claws.
“────.”
I chanted in rune language. The runes of enhancent and endurance were inscribed onto the claws and bones. I poured a potion onto them. Golden energy began to imbue the claws and bones.
‘Simple.’
What I was going to make was simple.
A vessel.
I would make a large vessel. One vessel that could contain imnse power was all I needed.
I would make a vessel for 「Yin-Yang Divine Art (S)」. A vessel that harmonized the extre cold energy of Seolhwa Ryeon and the crimson energy of Hong Yu-hwa.
Wooooong!
I refined the materials with energy. The golden energy started to break down and shape the claws and bones. A large vessel, still with holes in it, began to take form.
I inscribed runes onto the vessel.
The runes engraved on the vessel enhanced its performance. As the runes soaked in, the energy surged.
Boooom!
The vessel floated. The magic contained in the materials began to transform into energy. As the demonic energy turned into magic energy, it ford the vessel. The circuits drawn by the erging energy were engraved onto the vessel.
Crackle.
However, my alchemy stat was still low. The slight rebellion of demonic energy was suppressed by the Energy of Defying Heaven. I divided my senses at a nano level using the circle of martial arts while shaping the vessel.
‘This is good.’
I took out the Black Heavenly Demon Sword and the Spring Sword from the subspace. Holding the Black Heavenly Demon Sword, I activated the mind-amplifying soul technique.
I held the Spring Sword. I could feel the imnse life force. I transferred this life force into the vessel. This life force would later contain the crimson energy of Hong Yu-hwa and the extre cold energy of Seolhwa Ryeon.
After finishing the refining, I took a short break.
I did too much at once and got tired. My body was fine thanks to my stats, but my mind was the problem.
“What’s this, did soone co in?”
A slightly low voice was heard.
It was the voice of the vice-principal, who had dwarf blood in her veins. Her voice was as low as her height.
“Oh… it was you, Veritas.”
“Ah, hello.”
“…”
A brief silence followed. The vice-principal tidied up her clothes for a mont and looked at .
“What are you doing today…?”
“I’m making this.”
“A vessel? What is this? The energy I feel from it is imnse. The power I feel from the language itself? Is it runes?”
“Yes.”
“As expected of the God of Alchemists. I haven’t seen anyone handle runes properly yet…”
Her eyes, with dark circles under them, sparkled.
She looked like a total engineer.
“Is there anything I can help with?”
“I’d appreciate your help.”
I smiled as I looked at the vice-principal.
If alchemists focus on potion manufacturing and enchanting, blacksmiths take it a step further by creating weapons and armor.
Imbuing Ego imdiately.
Imbuing weapons or armor with an obedient ego. Not like Black Heaven, which didn’t listen, but like Eternal Heaven.
-Master?!
Black Heaven was shocked, but I ignored it and thought about imbuing ego.
At first glance, imbuing a weapon or armor with a soul might not seem like much. In actual combat, it could sotis be useless. However, the true performance of an ego weapon lay in the act of imbuing the soul itself.
Once a soul was imbued, the performance of the weapon changed.
When communicating, it could move on its own when the owner was in danger.
‘The level of communication isn’t quite there yet.’
I looked at the vice-principal.
She was staring at the vessel with enchanted eyes. It felt like she would soon reach that level.
I left her to focus entirely on the vessel. Walking around the school felt strangely nostalgic.
Everyone must be in class by now.
As I walked through the garden, I sensed a familiar presence. It was Ershil and Hong Yu-hwa.
Those two together were a strange combination.
“Oh my, Seo-ha, what brings you to school?”
“Yeah, really…”
Hong Yu-hwa looked at curiously. Her deanor felt more distant than before. Her eyes were a bit different.
‘Ah.’
Now that I thought about it, there was that incident.
During the incident when we captured Dantalion, Hong Yu-hwa saw a bit of my past self with my ex-girlfriend.
‘But why the distance?’
It’s not unusual to have had a girlfriend at so point… Even though I was 27 in my previous life and only had three girlfriends, my dating experience was quite limited.
“What’s this? Why is it so awkward between you two all of a sudden?”
“No, it’s just that I don’t want to bother Seo-ha.”
“Bother?”
“?”
I looked at Hong Yu-hwa with a puzzled expression, causing her to panic.
“No, it’s just that… you’re not dating anyone right now…”
Hong Yu-hwa started to speak but then stopped. She glanced at Ershil.
I guess she didn’t want to discuss it in front of Ershil.
“It’s a bit awkward to talk here.”
“A secret between just the two of you? That makes a bit sad. Boohoo.”
Ershil pretended to cry.
“It’s nothing special. Anyway, what are you two doing here?”
“We’re just talking about our family and other things. Oh, did you hear that the association is forming a team this ti? Yu-hwa and I are also participating.”
“I heard. Baek Ji-yeon is coming this ti.”
“The Sword Queen? Wow, that’s amazing. Isn’t that enough to rank among the top 10 guilds in Korea?”
“Is it?”
Our guild’s power was quite extraordinary.
Even if it’s not Baek Ji-yeon but her entire team, we could annihilate the enemies without any casualties if we fought within the Galaxy Guild.
“So, is the entire guild moving?”
“No, we’re selecting mbers. Seolhwa Ryeon won’t be able to co this ti, so it’s just and Seo Ga-yeon.”
“Hmm, aside from Seo Ga-yeon, are there any other won?”
“There is.”
The Witch Maiden’s power was also extraordinary.
When we fought the Brigade of Eternal Heaven, she could hold her own against the entire brigade for a while.
“She’s truly a subordinate, so don’t look at her like that.”
“What do you an by ‘like that’?”
I was about to explain but stopped.
It felt like a boyfriend going out with another girl. It was too much.
“Anyway, since you’re joining the association, please take care of things.”
“Sure, I’ll do my best. Aside from , our guild’s power is quite lacking. This ti, the Round Table exerted so effort, so our strength is only about two people’s worth.”
“It’s fine. Ershil alone is enough.”
“Oh my.”
Although she appeared to be barely at a combat level, her actual power was different.
Inside her was the transcendent lanie.
“No matter how much you complint , nothing will co out.”
“I wasn’t expecting anything. I was just stating the facts.”
“Oh dear.”
“But can I talk to Yu-hwa for a mont?”
“…Well, okay. I’ll give in this ti. It seems like there will be plenty of opportunities.”
With those words, Ershil walked away quickly.
I naturally used the Energy of Defying Heaven to create a barrier around us. The energy barrier of Defying Heaven was advantageous in that even transcendents could not eavesdrop, but it also had the drawback of being easily noticed.
Among the energy senses of transcendents, everything disappeared within the size of this barrier.
“So, what do you want to talk about?”
“Uh? Oh, I need your help with making this vessel.”
“My help?”
Hong Yu-hwa asked with a hesitant expression.
“Yeah. I need you, Yu-hwa.”
“O-Okay. If you need that much, sure.”
Hong Yu-hwa blushed and tucked her hair behind her ear, her lips twitching slightly.
That’s good.
I smiled and sent Hong Yu-hwa to the workshop, then called Seolhwa Ryeon.
-Ryeon?
-Yes, sir. Have you been well? I am still training according to the thods you taught in the guild.
-Can you help for a mont?
-…You need my help. I will do anything to assist you.
-Thank you. I really needed your help at this point. Can you co here?
-Yes, sir!
And now.
I was in this situation.
“Choose quickly. Her or ?”
“You’re talking nonsense. He is the elder of our family. Of course, he will choose .”
-…We can’t defend against this.
-This isn’t murder; it’s suicide. Why is the master doing this…?
