Ding!
[Current Blood Refinement Process: 3% -> 22%!]
[The Skill [Golden Metal Blood: Lv1] has Leveled Up to Level 3!]
[You have absorbed a large quantity of Metals! Your body's Durability, Toughness, Weight, Physical Strength and Defense has increased by +26%!]
[The [Full Metal Body: Lv1] Skill has Leveled Up to Level 3!]
I let everyone move forwards as I ended halting my advance, backtracking to absorb as many molten scrap beasts as I could while absorbing all of their rich Metal-Attribute Mana!
Ultimately, I ended continuously growing these two Skills, reaching Level 3 on both, this was getting insane of how easy it got! Even though I thought Golden metal Blood would be hard to level up, thanks to Full Metal Body allowing me to easily absorb metal and with my immunity to fire and heat allowing me to easily bath on the burning metal, the skill grew increasingly fast!

Currently, this was the progress so far, and it looked really easy and sweet. I simply kept absorbing the molten metals into my body with incredible ease, making them quickly disappear once I got the hang of it. Maybe because they were melted, it was much easier to absorb them than when they were on their solid state.

Oof, that step four was quite rough to do, how do I even do that?! Should I use my Full Metal Body and just as I absorb the metals, somehow redirect them to my blood vessels? That got to be a bit painful at least.
Though, the new Stage 3 Ability was worth it too, I now gained a permanent boost to my movement speed and attack speed, and the effects are immediate! I felt so much faster I sprinted through all like a golden blur, appearing by Aquarina's side in a split second!
Ding!
[The [Swift Fighter: Lv1] Skill has Leveled Up!]
"Aquarina!"
"Sylphy! What are you doing? You took so long to catch up!"
"Hahaha! Sorry, sorry, I took a small detour, I couldn't waste the opportunity."
"Opportunity? ...Well, anyways, looks like we got ourselves another boss, look!"
As we slashed through the last Scrap beast trying to block our path, Aquarina pointed at the distance. The giant metallic door blocking the way to the depths of the Scrap King's lair was actually a Scrap Beast of its own!
"GROOOHHHH!"
It groaned with a monstrous metallic roar, as it slowly shapeshifted, revealing a thousand long, metallic tentacles with countless sharp jaws! I guess we'll have to just push through.
