Omni-Mastery

\'As expected.\'

The combination of \'Elemental Interfusion\' & \'Cell Mastery\' could be truly considered as the code breaker of elemental limits!

At this point based on my own will, the elements in my body could somewhat freely interchange from Lightning to Thunder to Wind, which mean that I was now a genuine Triple-Attribute holder!

Dual-Attribute holders could be considered geniuses, but Triple-Attribute holders could be considered legends!

Not only that but also based on this test, as long as I managed to obtain the correct needed but rare \'Dual Elemental Arts\', I could even go further than that!

But putting the dreams aside, it was time to put my body to rest for now…

`~~`~~`~~`

\'Yawn …\'

Yawning for the first time in a while, I realized that I could take some free time to rest first before heading out, after all, the tasks in my list kept being replaced by more & more tasks…

Since I already finished my second elemental fusion, the only task I should have had left was to start filling my ring with reserve food, reserve weapons, reserve armors… etc.

All in preparation for the journey, but now that I had obtained the ability to use wind elements, then my tasks has further increased by two.

The first one was considerably easy, as I would just have to master wind element application with \'Swift Steps\' so I can start using the true combined \'Hurricane Steps\', it was a task that only required some time to finish.

The second one, being a bit tricky, was to add the elemental wind concept to my weapon arts, which would require some experiments, but luckily, I had a bit of a lead on how to move on with it.

\'Let\'s take a week then.\'

As such, I decided to set a time limit of one week to alternate between resting and finishing this constantly replenished task list…

As for starters, I decided to begin with the easiest one, reserve preparations.

Taking out a small pouch and putting it in my pocket as a disguise for me pulling the coins out of my ring, I slowly made my way out of the headquarters.

`~~`~~`~~`

1 hour later…

After filling my ring with enough food reserve, and buying several sets of spare leather armor, and some casual clothes, I was finally at the smith shops to get a few dozens of spare weapons, spears, hammers, axes, bows & arrows, and finally some shields and crossbows.

Originally shields weren\'t of much use to me but remembering the time when I had to withstand the \'Fireworks\', I thought that some spare shields might come in handy later…

As for crossbows, this actually came to mind as I obtained the \'Unlimited Wielding\' ability, after all, while it would be impossible to dual wield bows without four arms at the very least, dual wielding crossbows seemed like a pretty good and fresh style of long ranged attack.

But just as I was finishing my last purchase, I could hear some noise coming from a swordsmith shop that looked a bit old...

"Oi! old man, we just wanted to help your shop and buy that useless decoration piece off your shoulders, and we even offered as much as 10 gold coins, yet you are still stubborn about selling it?!"

"I said that it\'s a relic from my father! One of his best works, of course I would never sell it cheap, if you really want it, let me see if you have the guts to cough up 50 gold coins at the very least!"

"Huh? You want us to pay 50 gold coins for that rusty piece of metal, just shut up and take the 10 coins for it or-"

Throwing a pouch that had exactly 50 gold coins inside at the counter, I immediately made my offer.

"I will buy it."

Staring at the source of the argument, I could see a rusty claymore that was hung at the side wall of the shop, but the peculiar thing about it was that it still produced a strange shine even in that state.

"Hey, can\'t you hear we came for this piece first? Do you even know-"

"No need to introduce yourself to me, the owner wanted a certain price yet you were forcing him to sell it for 20% of that price, and now that I want to buy it with the correct amount you want to stop me?"

As I didn\'t want to waste more of my time or my words, I simply pointed at the small token attached to my armor.

"Who the heck do you think-"

"Wait! Wait! That token, look closely first!"

"What do you mean, let me teach him a lesson fir- hmm? This isn\'t the token of-"

"Let\'s leave for now boss… we can go look for something else, even your father can\'t bear to offend someone from their, not to mention a unit leader…"

Paying no attention to the thugs who started leaving reluctantly, I looked at the old shopkeeper waiting for his answer.

"This… are you really sure that you want to buy this? They already left thanks for your help…"

"No need to misunderstand, I really want to buy that claymore, if 50 coins is too little for you then I can raise it a bit more…"

That was just how much of an appeal that claymore had to me…

"Alright, I wouldn\'t actually sell it if I wasn\'t in dire need of money, but that\'s better than them coming back for it… 50 gold coins is enough, let me just say my goodbyes…"

"Take your time..."

After 10 minutes of waiting for the reluctant shopkeeper to give me the claymore, I finally headed back to the headquarters to closely examine this so called \'Relic\'...

`~~`~~`~~`

\'To think that I would find one this randomly…\'

I was actually a bit thankful for those thugs for making the claymore enter my attention as I managed to obtain something that I wanted to get my hands on for a long time!
