Chapter 261 Accumulating Power
The experiment was extremely successful.
Even more so than Greem estimated. In fact, much more so.
Toril finally stumbled out of the room with a stack of scrolls in his arms. Apart from his pale face and his slightly dazed appearance, he seemed to be fine.
Greem passed Toril the three books he had promised him and sent him back to rest. He then started to examine the scrolls Toril had passed him.
As expected, two of the ten scrolls were completely blank, despite having runes inscribed on them prior to the experiment. Toril didn’t seem to have realized this.
Greem thought for abit. He did a quick reorganization of the eight verified runes and tried out their effects, successfully getting eight whole new runes that had never appeared in the runic system of the adepts.
With these eight runes, today’s experiment was not a complete failure. At the very least, didn’t Greem manage to get something out of it?
Greem didn’t really about all of this and left them to their own devices. He himself was completely devoted to the deciphering and verification of the runes.
Two months quickly passed by and Greem had successfully deciphered six of the twenty-eight new runes. This sounded like a very small amount, but it was more than enough to extend his knowledge on merging runic energies to the level of the Second Grade radiant knights.
This meant that Greem had completely mastered the secrets of the Second Grade radiant knights. He could start forging an army of powerful runic knights if he so wished.
That said, the strength of the Second Grade radiant knights was found in themselves. The runic system only served an auxiliary role. Thus, even if Greem had forged a set of runic equipment with capabilities that matched the Second Grade, he still wouldn’t have the men to unleash its powers and use its powerful offensive abilities.
Even without this, Greem seemed to have plenty of Second Grade-level resources at his disposal!
The Second Grade Molten Giant core he got from the Underground Lava Ocean, the Flame Fiend’s Heart that Lord Sarubo had bestowed upon him, and the corpse of the radiant knight he had killed in the knights’ plane. Unfortunately, Greem wasn’t a professional Necromancer. Otherwise creating a couple of powerful Undead would be a simple matter.
With this runic knowledge in his hands, Greem started to get busy.
The resources he asked Snorlax for were already here and his treatment of the Flame Fiend’s Heart was quickly underway. There were still four adept-level elementium cores and a Second Grade molten giant core waiting to be dealt with. Meanwhile, upgrading the Flame Fiend Transformation runes on his body with the new knowledge he’d acquired had become his top priority.
Even if Greem somehow managed to squeeze out some free time, he still had to use it to design and forge some runic equipment that suited his abilities and talents…
All of these tasks completely filled Greem’s daily schedule. There was absolutely no time to rest!
The four adept-level elementium cores that he used to practice crafting golems failed twice. In the end, Greem only managed to craft two golem cores. One was the Decayer, while the other was the Roaring Monster.
The Decayer was an adept-level golem completed by using a poison elementium core. It looked like a slime monster made entirely of viscous green matter. It had some unique abilities, such as Acid Spray, Poison Halo, and Splitting Multiplication.
The acid that the Decayer spewed possessed extreme corrosiveness and toxicity. It could corrode the enemy’s defenses very effectively. Its splitting multiplication also allowed the Decayer to split into two smaller Decayers, after receiving excessive amounts of damage. This would allow it to output even more firepower.
As of now, the Decayer could split up to three times!
This also meant that the Decayer could potentially turn into eight adept-level, acid-spewing cannons after some time on the battlefield.
The Roaring Monster, on the other hand, was forged from an earth elementium core. On the outside, it looked like a five-meter-tall giant stone humanoid. Its unique abilities included Trembling Earth, Stone Toss, and Rock Armor.
In all honesty, Greem particularly loved these kinds of golems with immense defensive abilities. They allowed him to fully display the destructiveness of his fiery talents.
And this Roaring Monster was undoubtedly the meat shield and bodyguard that Greem so desperately needed!
