[Artifacts] [Wisdom] [Resources] [Lifeforms]
As Ery stood amidst the celestial panels, faced with a plethora of intriguing options, he realized the extent of his unfamiliarity with half of the items listed. The sheer variety left him in a state of bewildernt. Sensing the gaze of the celestial giant still fixed upon him, a touch of awkwardness crept into the air.
"Actually, do you have anyone who could help with this?" Ery inquired, breaking the uneasy silence that lingered. The celestial giant remained wordless, but in response, a radiant light emanated from the ground, coalescing into the form of a humanoid figure. The being that materialized was a strikingly beautiful entity, with short ash-white hair, adorned in light gold attire, and wings gracing her back.
"I am a Virtual Intelligence Assistant. I am here to help," the artificial lifeform spoke, her voice resonating with a soothing quality. Though not a tangible being, she emanated an aura of knowledge and understanding. Intriguingly, it appeared that this virtual entity possessed a wealth of information about Ery.
The Virtual Intelligence Assistant, offered a strategic recomndation. Given the need to fortify his newly acquired base on Earth's moon, she suggested a defensive structure that could serve as the bedrock of his stronghold. Utilizing her ability to access information, the artificial lifeform presented her suggestion.
[Thundergod Fort - 1500 points] A formidable construct designed to serve as the foundation of a base. The fort boasted an arsenal of 16 lightning cannons and high-grade barriers, originally crafted by the celestials it able to stand the wrath of grand magus figure.
As if reading Ery's thoughts, she added, "Its quality is comparable to the Magus Alliance's own defensive structure, which costs 15 million spirit stones. This offers the best ratio of value compared to other defensive structures."
Impressed by the detailed explanation, Ery found himself torn between the practicality of the Thundergod Fort and the desire for sothing truly irreplaceable, irrespective of its value. While he had no shortage of spirit stones or ans to acquire more, Ery harbored a penchant for unique and unparalleled items.
The female artificial lifeform then suggested unique spells of nature and light. However, Ery, with his extensive proficiency, realized that the available spells within his remaining points had similar utility to those already at his command. As a magus with a wide range of skills, he sought not redundancy but rather the exceptional, the rare, and the truly unique.
"Then, I would recomnd for you to explore recipes or rare materials instead," the artificial lifeform suggested.
In a matter of seconds, she delved into a ticulous cross-referencing of the recipes and potions known to Ery and rlin, comparing them with the most highly demanded concoctions in the vast expanse of the magus universe. The result was a curated list of the top 10 recipes, all falling within Ery's points budget and shrouded in obscurity—unknown or lost to the magus universe.
Among the intriguing options, Ery's attention gravitated towards two celestial original recipes:
[Celestial Body Tempering Recipes]
[Celestial Spirit Enhancent Potions]
Both ancient recipes, one designed to enhance physical attributes and the other to fortify spiritual defenses, beckoned to Ery's aspirations. He recognized the potential of these recipes to elevate his own. However, the celestial knowledge ca with a price tag, and Ery's points budget restricted him to the available grades:
[Low Grade - 500 points]
[dium Grade - 2000 points]
[High Grade - 5000 points]
Despite the allure of the high-grade versions, Ery weighed his options pragmatically. Convinced that even the low-grade recipes held the potential for significant improvent, he made a practical decision. With a determined nod, he agreed to trade a total of 1000 points, securing for himself the celestial wisdom encapsulated in the two chosen low-grade recipes.
Ery, with a resolute determination, decided to allocate the remaining 1921 points towards acquiring rare materials, each chosen with a specific purpose in mind.
The first item on his list was a vial of [Celestial Essence]. Ery envisioned this ethereal substance as a catalyst to elevate his experints with plant creatures to new heights
The second choice was a vial of rank 9 wolf blood, specifically from the elusive [Twin Sun Wolf]. This unique, light-based wolf of rank 9 boasted exceptional properties that might enhance his wolf serum. Even if it wouldn't have much effect on him, the infusion of such potent blood could greatly help his wolf pack. Among the assortnt of tier 7 ingredients, one particular item caught Ery's attention—an elusive bar of [Dragonite], forged from the remains of an extinct tal dragon. [Ery Ambrose: 0 points]
As Ery's points dwindled to zero, the list revealed more enticing items. Unable to resist the allure of the celestial treasures, he shalessly inquired of the celestial giant, "Don't you have any special reward for the first rank? Especially after risking my life for such a ss."
To his surprise, the celestial giant turned to him with a knowing smile and replied,
The revelation left Ery in a state of both anticipation and mild disappointnt. It seed that additional rewards were indeed in store for him, but the celestial intended to unveil them at a later ti. Ery couldn't help but feel a twinge of frustration; the celestial's ability to foresee the future did not translate into imdiate gratification for his valiant efforts.
In a bid to gain sothing more from the celestial encounter, Ery turned his attention to the female artificial lifeform standing before him. Seeking to gain a little more from the celestial exchange, he cast an appealing gaze and made a proposition, "Can I at least get this one as a bonus? She will really co in handy." To Ery's surprise, the celestial agreed to his proposition, and a sudden notification echoed in his mind.
[Receiving system patch]
[System upgraded]
[Virtual Intelligence Assistant successfully embedded to your system]
Ery was taken aback by the direct integration of the celestial's assistant into his system. It prompted him to ponder the intricate connection between the celestial realm and the magus universe system that linked every magus across the vast expanse of the universe.
However, before he could delve deeper into these musings, the celestial realm began to tremble, signaling the imminent end of Ery's sojourn. With the celestial's departure imminent, Ery seized the final monts to seek clarity regarding his promised rewards.
"You say I will be rewarded later, can you at least tell when?"
Ery wondered if these rewards would manifest before his impending duel with Kronos or perhaps in response to the looming calamity foretold for the next 10 to 20 years.
To his astonishnt, the celestial's response held a revelation that left Ery speechless.
