The Mage of Eternity

Chapter 186 - 186 Abandoned

At least for the next ten years, according to this trend, there would not be any accidents in the Home of Kindness.

An Kai also needed these ten years.

When he found out that the old thing Dong Lin was in the stage of life and death, An Kai already understood.

There were only ten years left before his final battle with Dong Lin.

No, only nine years were left.

An Kai could use these nine years to raise his strength to the level of Spirit Endowment so that he would not be afraid of that old thing Dong Lin and he could easily kill him.

Otherwise, he would run away in a sorry state because he did not have enough time to increase his strength in nine years.

At the very least, he could not stay in the desert any longer.

Therefore, he was not too concerned about the disappearance of the residents of the Home of Kindness, as long as it did not affect his access to resources.

After Wayne finished reading his data, he handed a storage ring to An Kai.

Inside were the Monster Cores collected by the Demon Slayer Tower.

Wayne also did not know why An Kai valued monster cores so much.

After all, everyone had a common understanding that the energy of monster cores was impure and could not provide pure energy like a sorcerer’s stone.

The monster cores in the bodies of magic beasts had no other use other than being used by high-level blacksmiths to forge equipment or as decorations.

Even if it were forged by a high-level blacksmith, it would still require a high-level monster core. Low-level monster cores like Stage-1 and stage-2 monster cores had no other use other than being used as decorations.

How would he know that the monster cores had the same effect on An Kai as the sorcerer’s stone?

Even to An Kai, who was in his current state, he preferred monster cores over sorcerer’s stones.

After all, the price of monster cores was much lower than that of the sorcerer’s stone.

Even if he could find a sorcerer’s stone merchant like Hanks who could exchange them at the ratio of one to one, it would not be as cost-effective as a monster cores.

Stage 1 monster cores could be exchanged for one Skill Point, two skill points for Stage 2 and so on.

It might look cheap in the eyes of the others, but it was enough for An Kai.

After all, a Stage 5 Monster Core was only worth ten gold coins in the Demon Slayer Tower.

The reason why An Kai had suppressed the price was to encourage everyone to hunt low-level Magical Beasts.

Hunting low-level Magical Beasts was safe and cost-effective.

However, An Kai didn’t stop the residents from hunting Stage 4 and above monster cores.

Currently, he did not lack any skill points if he maintained this speed of collection.

Stage 4 and above Monster Cores had another important use in An Kai’s hands.

Stage 4 monster cores could be used to strengthen [Excellent Grade] equipment, while Stage 5 monster cores could be used to strengthen [Top Grade] equipment!

Coincidentally, An Kai’s [Brute Force Staff] was of [Excellent Grade], and he had not found a chance to strengthen it.

If he didn’t use a Stage 4 monster core, he would have to use a middle-grade sorcerer’s stone. And using a middle-grade sorcerer’s stone felt like such a waste.

Therefore, the strengthening of the [Brute Force Staff] had been delayed.

Stage 4 monster cores were not difficult to collect.

However, it was rare to encounter a Stage 4 Magical Beast.

As for Stage 5 Magical Beasts, they were even rarer.

After a month, he had only obtained five Stage 5 Monster Cores.
If he used it to strengthen the [Excellent] grade [Razor’s Mage Tower], he wondered if it could be strengthened to [+5].

In his mind, he was calculating the method to use the monster cores. He was sometimes happy and sometimes sad.

An Kai’s attitude confused everyone present.

They were especially confused by An Kai’s purchase of monster cores.

However, no one asked. After all, An Kai’s actions had always been unexpected.

After Wayne finished speaking, Milton took a step forward and told him about the situation of the people who had broken through this month in the Spirit Endowment Tower.

He emphasized the people who had just broken through to the fourth stage.

An Kai was not interested.

After he finished listening indifferently, he waved his hand and ended the monthly meeting.

He didn’t look like a leader at all.

No procrastination, punctual, no nonsense.

It was not easy to find a “leader” like An Kai.

He returned to the mage tower below the Spirit Endowment Building.

An Kai took out his [Brute Force Staff] and activated [Forging].

A pitch-black workbench and a pitch-black hammer appeared.

[Brute Force Staff] floated above the black forging table.

An Kai took out a Stage 4 Monster Core and placed it on the platform. The black hammer seemed to be filled with electricity.

It became visibly active.

Following An Kai’s intention, they began to knock.

As the Stage 4 Monster Core was struck, it slowly turned into dust.

A moment later, just as he was about to succeed, it was as if an unknown force had attacked.

The hammer fell to the ground.

[Enhancement failed.]

Suddenly, An Kai had a bad thought.

Looking at the remaining 160 Stage 4 Monster Cores, An Kai felt more confident.

With a wave of his hand, he did not believe that he could not succeed with 160 attempts!

.

“Stinky bitch, are you blind? Don’t you know how to give me your blessings?”

On the third floor of the Mage Tower, An kai had never expected that he would spend 108 Stage 4 monster cores to strengthen the [Brute Force Staff].

Fortunately, his [Brute Force Staff] had been strengthened to [+5], which was why An Kai was cursing at the Luck Goddess.

The [Brute Force Staff] that had been strengthened to [+5] had some changes in its appearance.

It was nearly three meters long and as wide as An Kai’s wrist.

It was just enough for An Kai to hold.

Holding it in his hand, it weighed about 300 pounds. Only a mage like An Kai, who had balanced four-dimensional attributes, could easily wield the [Brute Force Staff].

Even Razor did not expect that the magic staff he left behind would become even more exaggerated.

The colour was even darker, black and shiny.

If it weren’t for the magical elemental fluctuations emanating from its body, it would be hard to imagine that this thing was actually a magic staff.

[Brute Force Staff +5: Level 1]

[Rarity: Excellent]

[Usage Requirement: Intelligence 100, Strength 120, Stamina 120, Endurance 120.]

[Remark: This…Maybe it’s a magic staff ~]

Holding it in his hand, he waved it gently, and the sound of wind whistling could be heard.

An Kai felt that the [Brute Force Staff] was pretty good in this state.

In the past, the [Brute Force Staff] was less than two meters long. If he conjured the [Magic Armor] armour, holding it in his hand would be like holding a fire stick.

It was different now.

After the strengthening of the [Brute Force Staff], even if he conjured the [Magic Armor] armour, it was not out of the ordinary.

He wanted to continue with the [Enhancement] of the Top Grade Razor’s Mage Tower, but he thought about his bad luck today and chose to give up.

“Bah!

“Stinky bitch!”

An Kai, who was unhappy, cursed under his breath. He took out his slim [Meditation Staff] and started to cultivate [Meditation] on the soft bed he had prepared on the third floor.

.

The Kingdom of Shaq was located in the desert of the Seven Kingdoms, bookended by the desert and the Dark Forest.

This secluded forest stretched for countless miles.

The seven countries were surrounded by the desert and the forest.

There was only one opening, which faced the orc kingdom.

This was also the reason why most of the residents chose to enter the desert after the turmoil in the Seven Kingdoms and not leave the Seven Kingdoms.

If they wanted to leave the seven countries and go to other countries in the Wasteland Realm, they had to pass through a secluded forest.

Today.

At the border between the Shaq Kingdom and the Dark Forest.

Two people wearing luxurious clothes and riding on two Stage 5 Magical Beasts [Earth-Shaking Lizards] walked out of the forest.

The Earth-Shaking Lizard was nearly ten meters long, three meters tall, and weighed more than twenty tons.

It looked like a dragon, but it was not a dragon. It was a real lizard-type magical beast.

It had a gentle temperament and had always been the first choice for a top association to use as a mount.

The two people riding the Stage 5 Earth-Shaking Lizard were none other than the members of the Wasteland Region Development Management Association, led by the Wasteland Region Mage Association. They had passed through the Dark Forest to investigate Dong Lin’s Blood Sacrifice.

In truth, they had come for Dong Lin’s complete Spirit Endowment Method.

“We’re finally here!
