Infinite Realm

Chapter 305 - 299 : Rewards 2 || Worrus’ Descent

"Wow." Sato sucked in a cold breath of air.

While the rewards weren't done with yet, the number of Experience points he had gotten alone was enough to make him one of the strongest players currently.

"Here." Saimon walked towards Sato before opening a palm at him.

"This is?" Sato asked with a confused expression. There was only a green coloured ring that looked as if it were made of emerald.

"This is your reward." Saimon said with a smile.

Seeing that he refused to explain any further, Sato didn't hesitate again and collected the emerald ring.

"So many materials...!" Sato couldn't help but exclaim.

It should be known that every one of those materials was at least 2 star ranked, and even for the 2-star materials, they were the most precious of their category and kinds of stuff that could only be gotten with luck.

There were even a few 3-star materials such as the Timber Crystal; which was the crystallization of wood and nature energy within an ancient tree after a couple of years, and Iron Pear Wood; which was an extremely tough wood that could even rival Black-Dawn Steel in toughness.

There was even one 4 star material in the mix, Titan Crust, which was a very special metal that could only be produced by the legendary Titan race.

All the materials that had appeared were all really expensive and if he sold them to the public or even the NPCs, Sato could make a large sum, enough to make him enjoy the next few days in IR like a king. Even if he didn't sell them but used them to forge some weapons, as long as Sato hired a good blacksmith, the result would be a bunch of Upper-tier Mortal rank weapons or equipment at the least bit using the 2 stars and 3-star materials, or even a Rare Steel rank weapon or equipment using the 3-star materials with the 4-star materials. As for the level of the end product, it definitely wouldn't be low and would be in between 10-15, depending on the blacksmith's skill and the level of strength in mind for the weapons.

The reward didn't only consist of materials though, as there were also gold coins that were present in the list, and not in a little sum. There were also a few books on subclasses as well as two general skill books.

However, Sato didn't see any of these in his space bag so he wondered where they could be.

'Could it be?'

With an incredulous but expectant expression, Sato focused his mind on the emerald ring just as he would with his space bag.

Almost instantaneously, his consciousness was brought to a new dimension with proportions of about 4*4*4. What caught his attention was the copious amount of materials stacked in one place, a big chest in another, and a small shelf at one edge. The stack of materials was of varying colours and sizes, and so, added a strange touch of beauty to the place. It was as if he had entered a treasury at that moment.

After Sato retracted his consciousness from the ring, two words resounded loudly in his mind.

'Space ring!'

The emerald ring Saimon had passed him was a much advanced storage equipment known as a space ring. Unlike space bags that were divided into 'slots', a space ring was like a room. While most space bags did contain more space than a space ring, the dimension in a space ring was far more stable and it was handier than a space bag and also had some impressive features to it. Sato had learnt all these from a few merchants in IR that had advertised the product to him before. Sadly, he had to focus his funds elsewhere so he couldn't get it before. However, he now has one.

'While it's true that most space rings aren't better than a space bag, any random space ring is much better than the novice space bag we have.' Sato recalled some of the features of a space ring and couldn't resist smiling to himself.

The space ring of the lowest class cost more than 10 gold coins and Sato currently had one better.

"Since you're a blacksmith, I had customised most of your rewards to aid you in your class. You shouldn't be lacking materials for a while and you can experiment to your heart's content too." Saimon chuckled.

"Also, I noticed that despite being a [Swordsman], you lack a bunch of fundamental skills so here." Saimon pulled out two books from the sleeves of his cloak and handed them to Sato.

Sato collected them both and glanced at their titles.

'Double Wielding technique! Plus a new skill!'

Sato was a [Swordsman] who used one-handed swords as his basic weapon. The advantage of these swords was that one could attack much faster with them when compared to double-handed swords. This is very noticeable especially in the [Astral Blade], which boosts his Attack speed by a lot.

However, these types of swords usually had one problem; their attack power. Compared to double-handed swords, one-handed swords were much weaker in attack power but lighter and faster than the former.

Of course, the [Astral Blade], which had the advantages of the two and none of their disadvantages, was an anomaly since it was a customised weapon by the system made for Sato. However, it was only a level 9 weapon and Sato would soon find it impractical. He was already experiencing such now. As he was currently level 14, a level 10 sword would fit him best.

When Sato would have to retire the [Astral Blade], he would be forced to experience the weakness of a real one-handed sword. Learning the double wielding technique would help to minimise that weakness as with two swords he could cause twice the damage, though at the cost of his concentration.

Therefore, this skill was very useful to him now. Even if he had yet to find a suitable level 10 weapon, he could still equip one of his creations alongside the [Astral Blade] and be twice as deadly as he is right now.

As for the skill, it was a basic skill similar to [Chop] and [Hack] that had a short cool-down. With the addition of the new skill, Sato's attack method and combo would be more diverse than before.

"These are the rewards that I can offer you. For the rest, the Lord will do that." Saimon smiled mysteriously.

"The Lord?" Sato got confused at that statement.

Suddenly, a daunting pressure descended on the white altar. Even the grey landscape began vibrating from the after-effects of the mysterious pressure. Strangely though, the white altar remained calm and Sato who stood at the black stone arena at the top of it only felt a bit of this pressure. Nonetheless, this bit was more than enough to scare the heck out of him.

'What kind of existence is this?' Sato couldn't fathom the strength of the aura's wielder.

'Could it be?'

At this time, Saimon's voice sounded out once again.

"Welcome, king of space-time and the beloved of the void, Lord Worrus."
