“Ahh… That takes care of the gold extraction.”

I take a deep breath after removing all the gold from the monster materials I have.

In front of me is a gold nugget that’s about the size of two fists, and reflects light dully.

And now I realize the sun set while I worked.

“Shellrule…”

I look around, figuring she left, but she’s actually in a corner of the laboratory.

“…Did she fall asleep?”

I see Shellrule with her face planted on a desk, and I can hear her sleeping. Should I wake her up? No, instead I’ll take a spare cloak from my backpack and hang it over her shoulders.

“Well, she will probably wake up on her own soon. I don’t feel right waking her. Instead, I should just get started with the main transmutation.”

I can only put off this problem for so long, so I get back to the gold nugget.

And while I’m at it, I eat a portable ration quickly to replenish my nutrients, and take out the dragon spring stone, placing it next to the gold nugget.

“Now, the next problem. I’m planning to use more power of curses than ever before, but will that go well…”

I mumble while slowly removing the glove from my right hand.

I feel like it’s been a long time since I made this glove. It’s been holding in the curses overflowing from my right hand all this time.

It feels strange to think that the curses stashed away in here will be the main ingredient of this transmutation.

“How much is piled up here…”

I turn the glove inside out, revealing the magic circuit that’s basically an improved version of the one on 《Seal》 scrolls, 《Seal Curse》. Then I carefully place the glove between the gold nugget and the dragon spring stone.

“『Activate』, 『Activate』… 『Activate』.”

Then I activate as many scrolls as I can. Some unravel and start circling me.

After checking to see if everything is ready, I slowly open my clenched right hand.

Curses immediately overflow and cover my right hand while bubbling. Then I touch the seal curse magic circuit with the tip of my finger, and say the key words I set before.

“《Release Limits》 designated targets, 《Purify》 《Seal Curse》.”

The glove starts unraveling like the fibers are being undone.

“Now, release.”

The next moment, a large amount of curse power starts gushing out.
