Chapter 183: Restocking

Three days passed away as they rested on the hall of the palace. During the past three days, Vincent and Leilani spent most of the time together. They openly flirted with each other, not giving a damn about the feelings of the single dogs, and thus, one could say that Varth and Nevis ate a lot of dog food in the past three days.

John and Iris felt inspired by their closeness and deep love, and following their lead, they, too, started to hold hands with each other, occasionally exchanging kisses on the cheeks to express their love for each other. Slowly but surely, they were moving towards the first base of love.

Except for the increasing intimacy of the young couples, Vincent and Iris had also used the cores and the elemental blood of the monsters to create many magic scrolls. As it turned out that Iris is an inscriptionist with profound knowledge about a lot of inscriptions patterns, Vincent asked her to teach him, and he ended up not only learning a lot from her but also creating a mountain of magic scrolls with her.

Moreover, he completed his daily mission of creating a new inscription every single day for the past three days, and as a reward, he obtained the methods of creating three powerful magic scrolls.

Vincent and Iris started to create some more magic scrolls, preparing for the upcoming trial. Most of their teammates stood by his side while Leilani sat near Vincent, helping him out in a few ways. She wasn't doing anything outstanding, just helping him make ink out of the monster's blood or handing the monster core over to him so that he can fuse the energy inside it into the magic scroll, but Vincent still felt the love behind her kind gestures.

After creating the last magic scroll for the day, Iris sat down to relax and restore her stamina while Vincent roused his supernatural cells with a single thought, and his supernatural cells sucked the mana in his body to produce parasitic seeds of fusion. They appeared all over his body, patiently waiting for his command.

"Time to fuse the magic scrolls!" Vincent cracked his knuckles and loosened his muscles before getting to work.

The moment those words left his mouth, his teammates turned to look at him as if he was some kind of an exotic animal in a zoo. Although it has been three days, they still couldn't help but feel excited each time he is about to fuse items. Under the excited and eager stares of Leilani, John, Varth, Iris, and Nevis, the seed of fusion left his side before combining two fireballs into one.

[You've fused two fireball magic scrolls]

[Fireball magic scroll + Fireball magic scroll = Great Fireball magic scroll]

[You've created a Great Fireball magic scroll]

After creating a few more scrolls of the same name, he combined them all to produce the most offensive fire magic scroll called Hail of Greater Fireballs and Descend of Miniature Sun.

One could see a red shine coming out of the two scrolls and swathing the cold hall, not only making it lit up in a red shine but also increasing the temperature.

Varth looked at the two magic scrolls and said in a voice containing a hint of disbelief, "I still can't believe the way your ability works. It's honestly ridiculous."

Something like fusion costs a lot. First off, only those who possess the technology to do so can fuse two items into one. Unless a person is running a family that rules over many resourceful planets, there's no way they can have enough purchasing power to obtain one. Secondly, encountering a trader willing to sell it is harder than searching for a needle in a haystack. Traveling between stars doesn't necessarily ensure that one will come across a merchant selling the fusion machine. It's all up to luck. Lastly, one needs one to ten million units of magic power to activate it one time. Even then, the chance of two items fusing into one is less than 10%. If a person is unlucky, then the fusion process will fail hundreds of times, and if his luck is going down the gutter, then an explosion will happen, taking the fusion machine with it. One item can only fuse with another one time, no more than that, or else the item will explode, taking millions of magic crystals and fusion machines along with it.

So, even the four great royal families barely touched the fusion machine that depended heavily on luck- a phenomenon which no one has barely even touched upon-as they feared losing more than what they might not even gain after ten tries.

Yet, here he was, able to fuse items till they reach their maximum limits.

"To be able to fuse two magic scrolls into one is already groundbreaking, but you're also able to incorporate more magic scrolls into the fused version! That's simply unheard of, brother!" Iris added, saying words in a hurry due to excitement.

Vincent was simply breaking the normality of the world. He was a cheat code, as to say.

"Your ability is too cool, Buddy." The eyes of Nevis blazed with excitement, and he felt like he couldn't get enough of watching the way the seed of fusion combines two items into one.

"It's all thanks to the fruit of darkness, haha!" Vincent said with a laugh before he drank a potion to recover his mana. Leilani was sitting by his side, gently messaging his sore muscles and attentively wiping the sweat in his face.

After creating five more utmost-level magic scrolls, Vincent looked at them and explained, "The first one creates dozens of greater fireballs that rain down the skies to put an end to everything below when it is activated. While the other creates a meteorite-sized fireball that is capable of blasting an entire mountain apart. Both of these magic scrolls are powerful enough to kill an army of intermediate-stage combatants in the blink of an eye. They will come in handy when we challenge the next trial, so hold on to one of them."

Vincent passed one of each magic scroll to all of his teammates, and they took it after saying words of gratitude since they will guarantee their security.

Some of their tummies rumbled due to hunger. Then they looked towards the mother of their party with eyes that demanded food.

Varth gave up under their persistent stare that expressed that they were looking forward to eating a meal cooked by him. He decided to do what he has been doing for the past three days: cook food for his hungry child. "I will go and prepare dinner."

While Varth was cooking a meal for them, John came up to Vincent and said, "Big brother, you can so easily combine many magic scrolls into one to create an undeniable powerful one. Have you thought of starting a business? I believe that many people would pay a lot to get one such magic scroll as it is already far above the power level of intermediate-stage combatants."

Vincent's eyes blinked. This truly was a good idea. Becoming rich in a short time wouldn't be much of a hassle if he advertises the godly items that he can create by using his superpower.

"I will think about it after getting out of this place," Vincent said before he eyed John, telling him to go away and stop disturbing his time with his sister.

John obediently went away, leaving Vincent alone in the company of Leilani.
