Chapter 163 – Sacrificial Bomb

"I'll ask Jin and others to see if they can turn my face to normal later," Aren muttered before he sighed and sat down and used the revolver again to put a wisp bullet in his head.

-Luck: 21

"Alright, good enough," Aren nodded as he opened the box of spirit stones.

After opening it, he heard a voice as the spirit stone directly appeared in his inventory.

—–

[Congratulations, you have acquired an Uncommon grade force level 2 spirit stone.]

[Spirit Stone II]

-Rank: Uncommon

-Effect: Contains 15,000 force level 2 Spirit energy.

-Note: It takes two hours to refill this spirit stone fully when exposed to the atmosphere.

—–

"The Rare grade had 25,000 Spirit energy, and it took one hour and forty minutes to refill it fully," Aren muttered before nodding, "so the spirit stone's refilling speed is better at higher grades as well, not just their capacity."

For now, Aren had two spirit stones of force level 2, but he wanted more. However, they were very expensive. A common force level 2 spirit stone was priced at 43,000 gold coins, which blew his mind.

But he understood the reasoning behind it as well. These spirit stones were not found in masses, and they can recover Spirit energy by themselves when exposed to the atmosphere. They were not "use and throw" type of things.

As such, Aren decided to sell his force level 1 spirit stones later and get some gold coins since they were also not cheap despite being force level 1 spirit stones.

"It's been twenty-five days since I got the wolven sun piece," Aren muttered with a smile, "the Emporio portal should have produced two more exotic material."

After checking the new spirit stone, he placed it back inside his inventory and entered inside the Emporio Zone.

'Time to make some bomb gears,' Aren thought with a grin as he had already bought materials and necessary things using 25,000 gold coins. He found gunpowder-like material in this world that would react to Spirit energy and explode. He also got some metal with high sharpness to it as he planned to turn it into tiny shards and add it into the bomb.

Now all he had to do was to create a blueprint of the bomb and then craft them.

After he entered inside, the first thing he saw was two materials floating inside two different bubbles in the air.

The first bubble had a gold bar the size of a fist with dark-blue patterns on it.

—–

[Golden Deep Blue Bar]

-Rank: Rare

-An extremely tough metal with a condensed inner structure. Resistance to shockwaves and penetration both.

-It also may provide a random water-related trait.

Afterward, Aren looked at another golden bubble with a black powder inside it. The powder was sparkling with a light grey sheen.

—–

[Orchulum Metal Powder]

-Rank: Supra

-This powder can be used in the last process to add a layer of toughness to any item.

-It has the power to channel physical force with greater intensity in it, so it's recommended to use it on gloves, poles, or other such melee blunt weapons where users channel their physical strength in battle.

"Interesting," Aren nodded before he decided to save both of these materials. He manipulated his Armalist force towards those bubbles as both items in the bubble disappeared before appearing in his inventory. After that, the bubbles burst and disappeared.

He then looked at the time bar on top of the Emporio Portal.

[5 days, 18 hours, and 48 minutes until spawning of next material]

'Time to work,' Aren thought as he wore his gloves and moved towards the Blueprint device before he started creating the blueprint of a bomb.

He had to design a bomb mechanism that could explode in a certain time frame after he infused Armalist force in it. This way, he could explode the bomb and also use <Sacrifice Doom> at the same time for greater damage.

…

Time passed as Aren was lost in the process of designing his new gear.

It took him one hour just to create the blueprint. Afterward, he input the blueprint in the Gear designing device and started designing the gear according to the blueprint.

[Error. Your current knowledge and the Design and Crafting devices are not at sufficient level to design the mechanism of this blueprint and craft this bomb gear.]

[Please read the additional books you have gotten after passing the 2nd path test to increase your knowledge further, which would also initiate the upgrade of your three devices.]

"No wonder…" Aren wryly smiled as he couldn't create that reactive mechanism of one of the metal chips inside the bomb when he was designing. He just couldn't find any option in the device to make that happen, and he also didn't know how he would implement it inside the bomb.

He looked at the bookshelf and saw that there were indeed two more books on the shelf.

After moving towards the shelf, he infused Armalist force in the books as their knowledge was transferred in his mind, along with a chain of stinging headaches.

At the same time, the three devices shined as they upgraded. They became bigger with more facilities and options in them.

He spent an hour absorbing the knowledge and properly understanding it before looking at the three upgraded devices.

The most significant change was in the Crafting Device as another section appeared right beside it; a box of a mysterious blue field with a silver frame. The silver frame was connected to a table below it by a pulsing blue string.

The bomb was not a sword or armor that he had needed to forge by smashing and meshing together materials and then inscribing them. So, the bomb he was designing was not possible to craft on the previous version of the gear Crafting device.

However, he will be able to craft this bomb in that 2nd section of the gear Crafting device. After craftings its materials, shells, and mechanisms, he had to put together the bomb with his own hands.

Aren spent 39 minutes revamping the blueprint he created in the new blueprint device and spent four hours successfully creating the design model of the bomb.

He had removed all the mistakes and designed the bomb gear to his satisfaction. Now he had to craft it, so he put that data in the gear Crafting device and started crafting the bomb.

…

After seven hours, Aren created a total of eight bombs with the materials he had gathered.

He also named it Sacrificial Bomb.
