Chapter 326: Fuyu's Amazing Rank Up!

-----

Just yesterday, Fuyu ranked up to Rank 4!

This massive floating ice castle finally reached Rank 4 yesterday too and had become… just massive. It wasn't as massive as stuff such as Laputa or Aincrad, but it was still growing into a massive size! And her stats were through the roof too. It was more than just a fortress, at this point, Fuyu was a massive spaceship. I do wonder if she can take us into outer space or something…

Anyways, the upgrade was not only her Mana Core but also her entire body through the use of refined materials…

But what were Refined Materials? It is something I learned from Rakasha over this week that he had stayed with us. I had asked him if he could teach me Smithing Magic, which he thought might be too hard to learn unless I had an affinity for it, but he quickly threw away those thoughts when I learned it just an hour after he showed a spell to me, and I replicated his technique almost to perfection.

The power of the System is almighty. With it, just a single technique was enough to acquire Smithing Magic! An equivalent to Blacksmithing but for Magic, like the Alchemy Skill and then the Alchemy Magic!

With it, I began to mass-produce little clones and also accessories carrying Skill Runes with this Magic, and I created a whole team of Smithers in just a day, leaving Rakasha baffled.

The smithers were already all talented crafters that came from the former slaves that we rescued from the sect. They had all willing decided to stay with us as their leaders, Tisha and Pekora, they all were willing to join my Kingdom/Sect.

They too decided to join them, and I welcomed them with open arms. I had planned to simply have them here for some time until we reached those verdant grasslands where we saw a lot of beast-kin living peacefully so they could live there like they used to do, but all of them preferred the commodity of Fuyu more, I guess! Haha!

Anyways, there were a lot of guys there eager to get some jobs, so I got myself a big group of smithers in seconds. The bracelets containing this magic helped them use it right away too.

After that big group, we began to immediately produce Refined Materials, which are made of various materials. Incidentally, this process takes its time, and usually also involves Alchemy Magic. You fuse materials using alchemy and then reinforce them and forge them using Smithing Magic.

It's a long process, but these massive materials are super reinforced and infused with great quantities of magic, they're even superior to my Icesmith! Actually, I can use Icesmith in tandem with them to make even greater armor and weapons, but I prioritized Fuyu because she's my important little fortress.

So I gave her a bunch of refined materials which resembled massive chunks of ores and other things we made up of piles of useless equipment such as armor and weapons from the dungeon, plus millions of scales and ores extracted from my body, and we fused them into her using my abilities' such as Alchemy Magic and Smithing Magic.

After she became Rank 4, she evolved and fused with everything perfectly. Her size is duplicated now, and she was as big as 80 meters and as wide as 50 meters, so she had a massive amount of space inside, which was expanded even more thanks to her special Space Expansion Ability…

Anyways, these are Fuyu's stats now, they're frighteningly great!

…

Damn, her stats are just massive, aren't they? She got them thanks to all the upgrades we did to her, so she's now all new and dandy.

Her stats, first of all, are ridiculous. She got so many it is insane, she surpassed me already. She's the strongest in here!

Well, and it's fair, honestly, she harbors all of us and protects us, so she gotta be strong.

And she also learned a million new Skills out of the blue, mostly upgrades and reinforcements of already existing Skills, but she also learned a bunch of magic so she can self-upgrade herself using alchemy and smithing magic.

She also learned Ice Magic, which is her original attribute that was awakened from her Mana Core, which is artificial, something that we didn't expect at all. And after that, she also got three Skills regarding the large gardens for vegetables and fruits we got now, they had become just very massive, and through her constant care of the plants there, she gained Agriculture and Farmer!

And lastly, there's a very important Ability she learned. She already had Space Expansion, so the obvious upgrade would be something regarding… time, isn't it?

And indeed it was! She got the [Time Dilation] Ability out of absolutely nowhere.

This ability makes it, so the interior of her body goes faster time-wise compared to the time outside.

A day inside of her is just half a day outside, as the time dilation is 1:2.

So every day I counted since then, there were actually two days! So we had actually two weeks to slack off, hehe.

It's as if we got 24 hours extra inside of her…
