Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 845 New Shields



"Well, even though it disappeared, it can definitely hear our voice, right?"

Krune nodded.

"That's what it said."

In the end, Dima had many questions. However, he can't simply force the law to talk to him.

"Let's head back first."

Roben then asked.

"What will we do with this information?"

Dima shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

"You heard what the Calamity Laws said, right? Do you really want to get into its bad side? Don't forget that Krune wasn't able to cultivate for a very long time because of it. At least I don't want to get my cultivation stuck."

Krune scratched the back of his head after hearing that. His cultivation had never gotten stuck. Well, he wasn't about to tell them that. Soon after, Krune tried to gather the Calamity Laws once again. Sure enough, it still worked pretty fine even after everything that happened. It seemed like Little Cally had no intention to stop Krune.

'It probably wants to see how my Balance Laws will turn out. Hmph! So be it! After I finish creating my own laws, I will never touch you again.'

Krune and the others then made their way back to Sunkan City, where others came to see them. After all, everyone saw how the Tribulation Clouds appeared over the city. Fortunately, no one knew that it was related to Krune, nor would they even consider it. One must remember that no Tribulation was supposed to come down before the Semi-God Realm, which Krune was really far from.

"Guild Master!"

"Who was the guy that broke through?"

"It was you who brought that person away from the City, right?"

Dima nodded before saying.

"It was a friend of mine who came asking for help with his breakthrough. Just to be safe, I started it in the city since I believed he would fail. However, lady luck smiled at him, and he succeeded. Following that, I brought him away. He passed his tribulation without any issues, so it's all fine now."

Everyone nodded.

"By the way, where is this new Semi-God?"

Dima shook his head.

"This friend of mine has quite a sensitive status, so I can't talk about him. He already left the city and went somewhere else. I hope you won't keep inquiring more about it."

Everyone was still curious. Why would it be a secret? However, that's what a secret was supposed to be, right? Dima wouldn't tell them, so they couldn't do anything.

After that, Dima, Krune, Zap, and Roben went back to Dima's office to talk.

"Alright, Krune. As you know, we can't say anything about what happens, or things might become pretty bad for us. Especially, Roben, Zap, and me since we can't control Calamity Laws. The last thing any of us want is to not be able to cultivate anymore."

Krune nodded, not minding it too much. He also had no intention to spread this news to start with.

Dima continued.

"That said, can you tell us a little more about you? After everything I've heard, I feel like there's a lot more about you that I don't know. The way you talked with... errr... Little Cally, it seemed like it knew you for a very, very long time. I've never asked it before, but just how old are you?"

Krune sighed as he pondered about whether she should talk or not.

"Well, I can't really talk about my origin. However, I guess it isn't a problem to talk about my age. I'm already over 200 years old."

Roben was taken aback.

"200?! How's that possible?! You should have run out of lifespan a long time ago."

However, Dima didn't seem that surprised.

"I see... I really felt that you weren't as naive as the others thought. No wonder, no wonder... Could it be that all True Spirits have very long lifespans?"

Krune shook his head as he responded.

"How would I know that? In all my life, I've only seen a single other True Spirit. However, our encounter was very brief, and I didn't ask how old he was. I have no idea how long other True Spirits can live."

That wasn't a lie. Krune only saw Reril once, and he didn't even come to see him, but Rag instead. They didn't even talk to each other. Also, Krune had never looked into how long a True Spirit's lifespan could be.

Dima nodded, not minding too much. True Spirits were also a very rare race in the God Realm, so he knew very little about them.

They talked for a while longer after that before Krune finally decided to enter the next topic.

"Guild Master, I'll be going out to travel after this to test my cultivation. I'm already feeling like my cultivation is getting stagnant after breaking through two entire realms. I haven't had the chance to try my strength ever since I've arrived in the city."

Dima nodded after that. He already heard about it from Taran that Krune didn't want to get tied down to the guild that much.

"Very well, I will arrange someone to go with you so that you won't fall into danger."

"This... is that really necessary?"

Dima nodded.

"That was the deal with Taran, right? It's also to make sure that you won't suddenly disappear before you can compensate for the debt we lifted for you. Besides, your protector will be responsible for passing the equipment from the headquarters for you to wake up their Spirits. Otherwise, how do you expect to make as much God Stones as you are doing right now?"

Krune sighed even though he already expected that. Well, as long as he can go out to try his own cultivation, that was fine. Besides, he could still spend half of his days awakening Spirits to make God Stones. Now that he broke through into the God Foundation Realm, his foundation had become even hungrier. He can definitely do with those extra God Stones that the headquarters' deals would bring him.

"By the way, when are you planning to leave?"

Krune pondered a bit as he recalled how his Myriad Lightning Shields were pulverized by the Tribulation Lightning. Naturally, he had to remake his shields again.

"It will take some time since I need to reforge my shields once again. Fortunately, I also kept up my blacksmith skills during my free time. I'm going to spend my next few weeks forging my shields, cultivating, and awakening the next equipment Spirit. I'll let you know when I'm ready."

Dima nodded and looked at Roben.

"Roben, see that Krune gets the next God Foundation Stars Equipment. The headquarters shouldn't take long to find a good deal for him."

Roben nodded, and he left the room with Krune. Dima then laid back on his chair as his mind wandered away.

'Maybe I can ask... Little Cally... to allow me to comprehend the Calamity Laws. Would he let me do it? I'll wait for the next time it appears.'

Sure enough, the headquarters only took two days to get a new deal. They sent Krune another One God Foundation Star weapon, ready to pay him two times the value again. In the end, Krune's ability to awaken Spirit ten or more times faster was just way too good.

However, Krune was having a small issue at the moment. Not with the Spirit Awakener Guild, but the Blacksmith one.

'What kind of metal should I use? I've always used Lightning-type ores to make my shields since I had Luvile's Tribulation Lightning. However, I don't have any need to use Lightning-based ores anymore.'

Krune then gathered the Balance Laws on his hand, which he could only sustain for a second or so before disappearing. After that, he gathered the fused elements, the dark one. This was the type he could fully control. Even though they had different colors, the two things were very similar since they both had the five main elements and laws. Of course, the Balance Laws went much further and gathered everything else.

'I guess shields made with neutral ore would be the best choice then? Or perhaps I might as well make an alloy of several elemental ores and see how it turns out. After all, I don't have an elemental preference anymore. Whatever it comes with, I can use.'

Krune browsed into the Blacksmith Network's materials, trying to find something that matched his needs. It was then that he found something interesting.

'Hmm?'

-Myriad Purpose Ore-

-Made by the Lua Sect on demand. This is an alloy made of several types of elemental ores. Good for most young cultivators and demon beasts who haven't found their affinity yet.-

The metal wasn't anything impressive. If anything, it ranked quite down on the list of God Foundation Stars' materials list for its inability to cope with anything at a high level. It was truly a multi-purpose ore for those who didn't know what they wanted to focus on yet. One must remember that the humans and demon beasts of the God Realm would achieve the God Foundation Realm very early in their lives. Geniuses would arrive there even before reaching ten years of age. That being said, it was pretty common that they would still be testing what they wanted or not. Finding something you're good with wasn't as easy as it seemed. That's why this kind of alloy was created.

In fact, Krune also found a few other types similar to the Myriad Purpose Ore in the low ranks of the Blacksmith Network. However, the Myriad Purpose was the most mixed one, which served his purpose.

'Well, although it's ranked quite low, it should be enough for me. Let's buy it.'
