Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 705- Restoring the Radiant Crown of Brilliance

"That's impressive," Simon admitted "You've taken something originally meant for destruction and turned it into a tool for creation and enhancement. I'm glad I didn't destroy it now."

"Right… Right… Brat you see the potential of my creation huh? Well now that you know how amazing this thing is going to turn out to be once it is perfected, it's all bridge under the waters " Prime beamed with pride at the praise.

To dare call him a brat, Prime was the only one in this dungeon. Simon shook his head at the haughty words of this Lumynar when something that the latter said struck his mind.

"Wait did you just say 'once it is perfected'? Did you not test its effect out yet?".

When Prime heard that question, he turned around and released a yellowish light from its body. Although Simon was no expert in reading the Lumynar's expressions that are displayed by the colours they release from their body, he could somewhat tell that the other party was looking down on him.

"Sigh, listen up brat, don't compare me with that Null Elemental friend of yours. That thing is special even amongst the special existence. I do not have abilities like it. And besides, do you think tempering with the natural laws is that easy?"

"Not to mention we are inside a dungeon which has its own sets of laws and orders. How could it be so easy to understand in a few days? This machine is far from completion, I have only reached the stage where it can interact with the mana particles in the air, there is a long way to go until it can create environmental hazards".

"The only reason I told you about it is because you were adamant about destroying it. How can I just sit back and see you destroy something that is going to be one of my finest works?"

Simon was silent as he continued to stare at the machine. It was as Prime said, how can it be so easy to create a machine that could actually temper with the natural orders of the dungeon?

It looked like he had jumped the gun, the machine was something for the future. That said, it was a pity that it couldn't be used now. Just think about it, how broken would his dungeon be if it could already create its own environment inside the floor?

"Hm? What's with that dejected face of yours? Although I said it would take time, who do you think I am? Fine, lend me the help of that Null elemental subordinate of yours. I'm sure that with that things help, I can drastically shorten the time from a couple of years to within a year and deliver this machine to you. Hehe, once it is completed, I'm confident that the Resonancer will be a valuable asset for the dungeon".

When Simon heard Primes's words his eyes inadvertently started shining. If it was just a year then it wasn't much. Compared to waiting who knows how many years, what was waiting just a year?

However, that said, Wisp was already super busy as it was with manufacturing, developing the floor and controlling all of those Andromedas. He did not know if Wisp could handle additional work.

"I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I just need it to produce a few pieces of equipment and ores that are needed to create its component. It wouldn't consume much of its time" As if reading his thoughts Prime clarified.

"Alright, I will tell Wisp about it. Anyways, I see that you went with the name Resonancer for the machine?"...

"Yeah, what do you think? As it is a machine that resonances with the mana particles in the air to create the disorder in the laws, hence the name Resonancer"…

"It's not a bad name" Simon answered, since the machine had been altered completely and it no longer served the same purpose it was intended for, calling it the floor buster would be wrong.

Though that said compared to the names he could think of for the machine, like Elemental Storm Catalyser, Mana Whirl Havoc Mixer or Environmental Blast Disruptor, just resonance seemed quite a bit… how to put it a less impressive.

However, Prime was the inventor of this machine as such, he had every right to name it.

"As you work on perfecting the Resonancer, keep me updated on its progress," Simon said. "I have a feeling this invention will become a defining feature of Dungeon Laplace."

He could already envision the countless ways he could utilize the Harmonizer's effects throughout the dungeon. With this invention, Dungeon Laplace would have an unprecedented level of control over its environment and conditions, making it a truly formidable and dynamic dungeon.

"You can count on me" Prime's body sparkled with determination. With that, the two of them spent some more time exploring Prime's new base, and the latter eagerly shared his plans for further improvements and expansions.

Simon couldn't help but feel inspired by Prime's passion and vision for the future. Was it to be expected of a highly advanced race? The Lumynar's ideas were groundbreaking eye openers for Simon. He was starting to realise that he might have won the lottery with Prime.

Inside one of the vast chambers, as he observed Prime who stood tall, their form towering over the fiery furnace as they manipulated the molten magma with their hands, shaping and moulding it like a master sculptor, Simon couldn't help but be reminded of the Lumynar's ability to freely shift the size of their bodies allowing greater precision and efficiency with their work.

"This is the place I use when forging new weapons, armour and the other items. Those things that you discarded as scraps, were repaired here"

Prime spoke, shifting back to its tiny size. He held a tiny hammer and chisel in his hand, working with delicate precision on a large piece of equipment. Even in this miniature form, he exhibited remarkable control and skill, creating intricate details with utmost care.

Whether it be handling large scale materials and equipments or working with the tiniest of parts, Prime's incredible ability to change his size at will, came in handy. He could work with an errorless precision to create all kinds of items.

This versatility in size manipulation made him an extraordinary craftsman; however, shifting his size wasn't the only ability Prime had.

Being able to work with the molten lava, the ability to increase its heat and intensity to his will, responding to his every touch and help but feel a sense of wonder and admiration for this fellow.

In the [Workshop], Prime's forge became a symphony of creation, command. It was a mesmerizing sight to behold and Simon couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and admiration for this fellow.

In the [Workshop], Prime's forge became a symphony of creation, with molten metal flowing like liquid gold under his skilled hands. The process of forging and creating in the magma-filled chamber was like a harmonious dance, with each strike of his hammer, intricate patterns and designs emerged, turning raw materials into works of art.

His attention to detail was unmatched as he freely manipulated his size, and his craftsmanship was unparalleled, producing items of extraordinary quality and functionality.

Moreover, Prime's inventiveness knew no bounds. He had a knack for repurposing and refining discarded materials and scrap from the junkyards, turning them into essential components for his creations.

 As he stood there watching Prime at work, he couldn't help but reflect on the unique abilities and talents that each Guardian brought to Dungeon Laplace.

From Irene's presence that supported the dungeon like his shadow to Cecilia's control over nature, Wisp's mastery over the creation and elemental forces itself, and now with Prime's intelligence and skills, the dungeon Laplace got an unparalleled craftsman —it was a diverse and extraordinary team.

"You can stop selling yourself, I get it, you were the best thing that I was able to purchase from the auction. I admit that I was wrong in doubting you, your abilities are as impressive as you have said"…

Others might not be able to see through the actions of this guy; however, Simon who understood the nature of this Lumynar after interacting with it knew the latter best. Thus he immediately understood what they were trying to pull when they started showing him around their base and displaying their skills.

Having his intentions called out, Prime couldn't help but smile and stopped showing off.

"What? So you knew about it huh? Well, it's all good now that you have admitted it. Haha, I told you didn't I, that you won't regret purchasing me? I was one of the best things, no I was the best out of all the things that were listed there in the auction".

"You should be happy brat that you got me, the great Lumynar who was bestowed the name Prime by the Elder council" Prime boasted, a blue light emitting out of its body.

"Right. I get it. Now then, let's get to the main topic, there are three reasons why I came here to see you. The first is of course to see how you are doing. The dungeon and its habitat was a new place for you so I wanted to see if you were able to adapt to your new place or not".

"Seeing how excited and motivated you are, I guess I was needlessly worrying about it. The second reason I came here is because I have an item that I want you to repair" Simon raised three fingers and slowly started listing out his reasons…

"Oh? Let's see the item first".

Simon nodded reached into his inventory and pulled out a crown that had a regal and imposing design, adorned with intricate patterns that seemed to emit a faint glow, even in its damaged state.
