Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

Chapter 512 512 Titan's Palm

"Also, is there a way to become an Adamantite Rank even faster?" Aldred asked.

"Not that I know of. It took hundreds of years even for the most talented magician to become an Adamantite Rank. And I didn't even take the rare treasures, potions, pills, and fortunate encounters into account. One thing for sure is that, the path take time and extremely hard work. And nobody knew if one could enter Adamantite Rank in the first place."

If one wanted to become an Adamantite Rank, one had to go extreme routine every single day. Magicians and warriors usually go out and explore the world, killing as many beast, gathering as many resources and experiences to increase their odds to become an Adamantite Rank.

One of the most popular belief to become an Adamantite Rank was that, one had to constantly fight through obstacles such as fighting monster stronger than oneself. And this had to be done frequently.

No one could laze around if they want to become an Adamantite Rank.

"Even I don't know if your son has the chance," Duke Hushum said.

"I am sure he can. But I need your help. If you have anything that can help my son, please tell me. I will do everything in my power to pay you with the appropriate price."

"Hmmm, I actually do have a potion formula that can increase the odds, but it's too minuscule even if you drink it every day. Though it will be beneficial for any Diamond Ranks. But you have to pay a hefty price for this formula."

"Of course, do you want more golems?"

"It's fine. You can pay me with 10,000 Epic Mana Crystals."

Aldred laughed. "Alright." If he was in Coureroy Continent, he would be shocked to hear that price. Each Epic Mana Crystal was a valuable piece of treasure for anyone in that continent. But here, it was simple currency for the nobles.

Although 10,000 Epic Mana Crystals was still no laughing matter to them.

Aldred had earned a lot of these crystals when he mined the cities. The robots and golems had collected thousands every single day. Their effectiveness were simply unmatched in doing simple and repeatable work. They were basically machines with unlimited energy. The robots constantly absorbed power from the sun with their advanced solar-energy system. His golems were fueled all the time with his unlimited mana.

If Aldred wanted to, he could dig the entire continent if nobody stopped him.

Duke Hushum snapped his finger and an orb of light appeared in front of him. The orb of light slowly floated towards Aldred and landed on his palm.

Aldred crushed the orb of light, and the information about the formula rushed inside his mind. After analyzing the information, he sent the information to Corduul through telepathy. Corduul then saved it into the database of the Mechanicum.

Duke Hushum smiled lightly. "Aldred, I will take care of your son. You have my word for it."

Aldred was a powerful Golem Master with hundreds of thousands powerful golems under him. He even had those things called robots and golems that could never run out of mana.

Duke Hushum had never heard of such things before. The reasons why Golem Master were wealthy was because they needed a lot of money to run the golems.

Aldred might not need much money to run the golems, but that would exactly be the reason he would be wealthier than most Golem Masters. Golem Master earned a lot of money by sending their golems to dangerous places to obtain treasures. Sometimes they even rent out their golems to wealthy merchants either for protection and all kinds of jobs.

Golems were fearless. They would do as told without hesitation. A human guard might betray you or run away when the situation is not fit, but golems would gladly sacrifice themselves to protect the master.

That was the reason why Golem Master could become so wealthy. Their services were so valuable and expensive as well. That was why they rarely become a noble or a lord of the territory. They simply did not need to do that since they could rent out their golems as mercenaries or adventurers.

Most golems masters valued their life so much that they never went out of hiding. Wealthy merchants and nobles didn't even know who they rent the golems from.

So Aldred's existence was a little different that the norm.

"By the way, have you learned any martial art?" Duke Hushum asked Tom.

"I learned some art about swordsmanship."

Nodding, Duke Hushum snapped his finger again and a thick purple book with no title appeared. "This is Titan's Palm. It's a powerful martial art that should be useful to you. A powerful magician must be well-versed in every realm. You cannot be good at one and lacking in another. If your enemy found out, they will use that to their advantage."

The book floated to Tom's palm.

Quickly, a notification appeared that asked whether he wanted to learn the skill or not. Tom clicked yes, and the book shone its light as he absorbed the information.

"Eh…" Duke Hushum was shocked to see this scene.

Opening his eyes, Tom glanced at one of the Fighter-Class IT-6, the low Diamond Rank robot. The robot suddenly rushed at him, raising its blade and slashed.

With a loud bang, Aldred blocked the 3 meter tall blade with his palm and then sent his other palm towards the blade.

The blade snapped in half while the 10 meter tall robots were pushed back by 6 steps.

"Incredible… did you just learn the skill?"

"I did, uncle. It's fairly simple."

Simple… The Titan's Palm was an Epic Grade skill! Even a genius would take a year or two to learn it. And for most people, it would take decades just to learn its basic.

Tom looked like he had mastered the basic after a single glance of the book.

Duke Hushum looked at the robot and noticed cracks in its body. The Titan's Palm was designed to break the body of its enemy. If they did not expect it coming, they would be shocked to see their body felt so much pain and becoming weaker.

Aldred was glad that he could obtain this skill. Though he had skills in close-range battle, it wasn't as good as the Titan's palm.

"I think the teachers will like you," Duke Hushum said.

"That would be good."

Aldred wanted to make great relationship with the teachers as well. Maybe he could visit them one by one and help them with the imperfection of their techniques. With his godly eyes, it could even detect the imperfection of a god.

Aldred was still glad that he picked this when his father offered him a bunch of things before he began his adventure.

"Well, it seems like our business is done here," Duke Hushum said.

Tom nodded before he ran to Aldred and hugged him. "Good bye, father. Take care."

Aldred rubbed Tom's head like he was his real son and smile. "Don't work too hard."

Duke Hushum watched this scene and got reminded of his own son. 'Maybe I should introduce Tom to him.'
