Book 12: Chapter 52: Dragon’s Pride (1)

Finding the volcanic ore vein wasn’t difficult for Dyon. Retracing Skull and Roe’s memories, it took him a fraction of the time it would take them, especially since he didn’t have to be as cautious as they did.

The vein was located in a sea of molten rock. Its existence was about the only solid foundation in the entire space.

Looking at it, Dyon understood why the two Immortal Saints were only able to take such a small fraction of it. They simply didn’t have the ability to protect themselves for very long down there. They could only dive for as long as their qi lasted, then come back up to recover. They ended up repeating this process several times, but only ended up with about half a cauldron’s worth.

Considering the size of their bags, being of not even a meter in diameter, it was clear just how dense this volcanic ore was. Yet, there was much more still buried deep.

Suddenly, Chibi popped out of Dyon’s forehead, finding a seat on his shoulders and pulling his hair excitedly.

“I want it, I want it!” Her adorable voice called out with excitement.

At this point, Dyon all but slapped his own forehead. He had already recognized the value of volcanic ore for creating high quality alchemy furnaces. But, he had dismissed the resource entirely because the first portions of it he had run into were too low quality. He hadn’t even considered giving them over to Chibi because of that.

The good news was that Dyon decided to come here anyway instead of just jetting off to look around for the mist glass ore instead. He thought that it might be worth looking into, and it seemed that he was right.

Compared to Reaper, Chibi was lacking by several levels. After all, she was just a Lower Venerable treasure while Reaper had entered the Lower Empyrean Realms. Honestly, Dyon’s alchemy skill was already at the point where Chibi actually limited him a bit, but Dyon had never cared about such things, so he never thought of replacing Chibi.

Dyon had spent much of his alchemy career without a cauldron, so he was already used to concocting with a handicap. But, that didn’t mean he was adverse to the idea of having a powerful aid by his side.

“You sense something you want, Little Chibi?”

“Yes, yes. This Grand Aunt senses her slave calling for her.” Chibi said with a cheeky grin.

Dyon nodded.

He tapped his finger in empty space, causing a ripple of his soul qi to spread outward. After comprehending the fundamental runes of the red star, he had an impossibly high understanding of this lava world he stood in now. Not only could he effectively act as a God in this place, but due to him also fully comprehending the blue star, he could do so outside of Mount Volaire as well.

As a result, Dyon’s battle prowess in this world was incredibly high, even higher than it would normally be. This was the power of fundamental runes.

So, something like parting these treacherous lavas with a thought and exposing the hidden vein below was as easy as breathing.

In the blink of an eye, the vein was exposed. It looked no different from a hidden mine of gem stones, snaking through with a striking ruby color. The irregular cuts that made up the veins were both striking and beautiful.

Dyon could see the places Skull and Roe managed to dig up, but he almost felt bad for them when he did.

Their divine sense was too frail to poke around the lava, so they had thought that they were already targeting the main core of the vein. But, the reality was that they were barely scratching a small branch vein in the outskirts.

“Do you need help Chibi?” historical

“Nope!”

Maybe the most impressive part about treasures with spirits is that no one knew more than them about how to fix, repair and upgrade themselves. If the only measuring factor was how well it could build itself, Chibi and Reaper would be considered God level Weapon’s Smiths.

Of course, they had to rely on Dyon’s soul qi to accomplish what they wanted. After all, they couldn’t produce their own strength and could only do so in connection with Dyon. But when had Dyon ever been lacking in this regard?

Chibi’s spirit and physical flew down with a youthful excitement. She entirely ignored the branch veins and even the main vein. She crushed her way through the center, eventually pulling out a powerful pulsing ruby with her tiny little hands.

Watching her lug around a rock tens of times her body size made Dyon chuckle. He couldn’t help but miss his daughter.

Chibi’s physical body expanded in size until it was large enough to contain what Dyon believed must have been the core of the volcanic vein. She happily, and more gently than Dyon had ever seen her act, lowered it into the opening.

Dyon smiled. ‘Since these are so helpful to her, let’s see if I can find anymore…’

Encompassing the core of Mount Volaire wasn’t a problem for Dyon. He instantly found not only four more volcanic veins of this quality, but also found five mist glass ores as well.

After giving Chibi her fourth vein core, she shut down, seemingly having reached her limit. She didn’t open up to accept the fifth core even after he got it.

But that was when something Dyon hadn’t expected to happen happened. Little Rain, after almost two centuries of dormancy, sent out his energy and swallowed the core whole.
