“It works!” I said, before suddenly breaking out in laughter, “it works! Hahahaha! That’s great, hahahaha!”
“Lord… These… Sigh! Lord can’t simply think of wasting such valuable treasure this way,” he got what I planned to do, and tried to dissuade me from doing it.
“Shut up, shall you? I’m having a great moment right now, hahahaha! Let me enjoy it and don’t ruin the mood.”
I kept laughing and smiling for almost an hour. Thinking about these gems and their magical effect that countered the side effects of that technique was really exciting for me.
Like this… I got a complete echo system. I could let my Hescos use the technique and then heal them using my gems. It was just perfect!
I liked such an arrangement very much.
“Lord… These products take a long time to get produced…”
I waved my hand to silence that dude from saying anymore. It didn’t take that much for me.
I knew if not for the many treasures I used to nourish this place, this world wasn’t going to get such expansion and development. But who said these treasures were one time offer only?
“I can get these treasures whenever I want, just don’t spoil the moment for me, ok?” I looked at him in warning. I got fed up with him to be honest.
“Ok lord… So… Are we…”
“Hell yes we’ll do it!” I knew what he was going to ask, “we can’t let such an opportunity slip by. However… I want you to test something first…”
I took a dark monster bone of dark gold grade and gave it to him.
“This… Is it a grade lower than the one lord gave to me before?” Oglak seemed to not appreciate the bone I got out, judging it just by colour.
“Just take it,” I said, and he took it and went into silence for a long minute.
“Lord… What exactly is this bone?”
It was a weird bone actually, one that might be a phalanx bone of one of the dark monsters I killed before. I didn’t know what part it belonged to, however I knew it was much better than the black bone I showed him before.
“Tell me, do you think this bone can get different results?”
“Well… Can’t tell without trying. However, something is stirring up my troubled sense inside me… How did lord get it?”
“Don’t worry, it’s just something special I got,” I laughed, “try it and let’s see.”
“Ok…”
Despite being hesitant, he started to do the same thing again. I wanted to see if my dark bones were different from the normal bones. After all, they were filled with violent dark energy coming from the other universe.
Just as he gushed out his blood, the bone started to dazzle like the previous one. Yet instead of shrinking in size, it expanded, as if his blood released some sort of a seal inside, making it bloat out by immense energy.
“Not good… This is going to explode… Lord…”
“Give it to me!” Once he finished doing that technique, and just as he got weakened, the bone started to massively expand and shine, emitting rumbling noises that looked quite scary.
He didn’t guess it wrong! It was going to explode! Dammit!
“Come here!” As he was too weak to do anything, I hurriedly jumped, hit this bone using my glaive and threw it at the door behind me.
Since coming into this world, a door would stick to my side no matter where I went.
And just as I hit it, the bone flew and vanished through the door, and all the troublesome energy it brought vanished.
“Lord… This… What the heck is this thing?!!” and with rushing breaths, Oglak couldn’t prevent himself from asking.
“Take this first,” I threw him one of my gems. And as he started eating it, his weakness began to fade away, “this bone is filled with a dense amount of energy. Aside from me, you are the first to see these bones ever.”
“Dense amount of energy? Does it come in a special way or what?”
“Not in a special way, but from a special monster… It came from monsters who are known as dark realm monsters.”
“This… No way! Lord! Did you face one of these? It’s a blessing that the lord is still alive after facing and running away from these…”
“One? Hahaha! Oglak, oh my Oglak, you are underestimating your lord too much!” Before he’d continue his wrong words, I interrupted him with my words and laughed.
“I didn’t run, I never ran from any enemy. I always run towards them, not away to safety. And these monsters… I killed them all.”
“Lord…”
“Anyway, it seems these bones have a berserk amount of energy that can’t be tamed by this technique… Sigh! What a regret…”
“Lord… It might be invaluable for us, or too much for us to handle. But if it came from a dark realm monster, then the best ones to deal with it will be those from the other universe, right?”
“Your meaning is…”
“We can give them a single bone of these, and it will be enough to secure us lots of benefits for sure.”
“No!” without getting to hear more or even think about what he said, I instantly and decisively refused, “I won’t give my enemies a weapon, such a fierce weapon, without knowing its uses.”
“This…”
“I made a mistake before, using my bones in trade without getting to know their real power. And now I deeply regret it. However I’m the only one suffering from such loss. If I gave my enemies such bones and they turned out to be something insanely strong, then many will suffer. No, I can’t risk doing it!”
“Then lord…”
“Did you forget? I already got people from that universe under my control.”
“Lord’s meaning is…”
“As you use this technique and way, I can let them use it. You said it yourself, this bone is filled with dark energy, one that came from the other universe. And the best thing is… I got many with just the perfect kind of energy out there.”
