Chapter 340 - Great Grains
-----
The bones were edible, but that didn't mean that everyone wanted to eat these things… However, there was still a big feast as everyone seemed capable of devouring the Dragon Hearts of the various fallen Elder Dragons that Vritra had below his command as Undead.
The delicious crystals were filled with essence, as Noah devoured many of them and so the rest of his party, when he came back to his divine realm, he also shared it with the kids, as they adored to eat monster raw.
"Papaaaa!"
The adorable Eleanora was eating a large crystal, which was an Elder Dracolich's Heart. Her tiny mouth could bite the incredibly hard material as if it were a small piece of bread.
Meanwhile, Dante had become a giant dragon, and was eating a pile of bones like fries, the kids seemed to have a good appetite when it came to essence-rich materials, eating them without even considering it twice.
As the feast of high quality materials ensued, the robots began to absorb the bones of the Dracolich and also the dragon hearts, which were plentiful this time around. The mechs that everyone rode were also amazingly strong, so William was praised by Noah.
The Fembots ate several Dragon Hearts, and their draconic essence seemed to have merged with their blood core batteries, perhaps they could now fuse into a mecha dragon form, maybe…
Noah in the other hand, wanted to experiment a bit with Vritra's summons, so he made him summon continuously, he was able to see that Vritra was able to summon the strongest monsters quite hard, it took him a few minutes to fully summon a Dracolich, Zombie Dragon, or Chimera Zombie Dragon. While lesser Undead such as Bone Dragons, Bone Wyrms, or Zombie Wyrms were easier to mass produce.
Unlike Dungeon monsters, these summoned monsters didn't dissipate into black smoke after being defeated, and Noah discovered that this power gave Vritra the ability to constantly produce materials… In simple terms, it was an even faster way to create high quality essence-rich materials by merely spending the near-endless mana that Noah had.
However, after some time, the dragons would not come with Dragon Hearts but Death Cores, which were lesser versions of cores that Undead had, for them to emerge with Dragon Hearts again, they had to wait a bit before being summoned once more.
Of course, killing them also didn't net any dropped item, like the monsters inside Noah's Divine Realm. However, even their rotten flesh could be used as precious magical materials, their bones, internal organs, and more could be repurposed as materials for crafting, or using for alchemy and more. Noah had begun to practice alchemy, or well, his subordinates did, after reading the many alchemy books left behind by Arthur's grandfather inside of his inheritance.
Alchemy was an amazing art of the use of both magic and science practiced by many ancient wizards and sorcerers, but there were required very high-quality materials for most of the recipes left by Arthur's Grandfather to work correctly!
However, with such a high-quality material creator such as Vritra, this now meant the mass production of magical items without the need to enter Dungeons!
Of course, Noah had already been using the materials found inside his Divine Realm, but now that there was a new factory of them such as Vritra, Noah had already begun to order him to constantly summon without stopping…
Even Vritra who had become very serviceable felt exploited… But he could not do anything other than obey his lord's words which were sacred to a Summon like him.
Considering things out, this was the first time Noah got a Summon Skill, his previous troops were always just Blood Servants, and the Summon Kin couldn't be qualified as a summon, as it was a way to teleport people near him or his clones.
He began to wonder if he could get more Summon Skills, but he had not gotten any from the other Draconic Fathers, which were the strongest bosses he had ever fought and eaten, so perhaps it will be harder and rarer to ever find a summon Skill, and Vritra was a special case.
Noah, however, began to wonder if he could craft a Lifeblood Jewel that was about summoning or Warlock Magic. Perhaps he could even add the Skill that made the Blood Servants and add Vritra into the mix to create something truly deplorable…
If a Summon Skill such as Vritra were to be upgraded into a Path Jewel, this meant that it would slowly grow stronger by upgrading itself into higher Ranks… Meaning that this was really something amazing!
However, Noah has been amassing Essence this entire time, so he had decided to leave Lifeblood Jewels for the near future, as he was getting closer to the goal necessary to upgrade the System and gain a plethora of new functions, according to the Blood Progenitor.
After defeating Vritra and destroying the dangerous X-Rank Dungeon Gate, Noah was congratulated by God and the World's Core, this gate in specific was putting a big strain in the planet, and now that it had disappeared, the planet was slowly recovering more and more energy, and it was also recovering quicker.
Dungeon Gates had begun to emerge very rarely now, and the planet was quickly getting cleansed of them.
Although the threat of monsters and mutated beasts were still here, with many monsters that escaped dungeons roaming the world and multiplying alongside the mutated beasts, this was a very small issue compared with the dungeons, the planet perhaps finally could have a breather and rest, slowly recovering more essence and healing her core.
However, the miasma residing within the core of the world was still damaging her, and Noah was not strong enough to absorb this miasma yet, as it would most likely overload him with negative essence and kill him…
But even then, this little threat was nothing compared to the past, and the entire planet was stabilizing.
However, Noah knew this was not over yet, the Watchers were slowly approaching, and he knew that they would try something new this time around, due to this, he needed to prepare and not lower his guard.
After much thinking, he decided to absorb a pile of X-Rank Attribute Value Cores…
