Chapter 846 - Ahhh! It’s hot!
Han Shuo was instructing his children to pour all kinds of materials into the swamp that Romon’s body was submerged in. With only his head above the swamp, In an anxious and suspicious face, Romon asked, “What exactly are you going to do?”
“That, you shall find out soon enough. Hehe, you have nothing to worry about. It will only be good for you, no side effects whatsoever! ” replied Han Shuo smilingly. He asked Han Jin to toss more of the colorful stones into the swamp.
The everglade contained certain rare minerals that Metal Elite Zombie could locate and collect with minimal effort. In addition, Han Shuo and Han Jin had a large number of miraculous ores stored in their space rings. Han Shuo had more than enough materials to rebuild Romon’s body.
“Master, will this work?” Rose seemed somewhat uneasy. She had seen Han Shuo refine a weapon and knew that he was a master at it. However, Rose did not know that Han Shuo could also refine the body of a living being. Therefore, she was worried that the procedure might injure or even kill Romon who had previously helped her out of danger.
Although such a procedure was unimaginable to Rose, Han Shuo had been doing it for quite a while. Little Skeleton, the Five Elite Zombies, and Gilbert were rebuilt or enhanced by Han Shuo in similar manners. Han Shuo was very experienced in doing the procedure and he wasn’t at all worried about Romon’s safety.
“The process will be somewhat painful, but I’m sure that he will be very happy with the results. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!” answered Han Shuo smilingly.
Rose knew that Han Shuo was a man of his words and was relieved to hear Han Shuo’s reassurance. She then shouted at Romon in the distance, “Romon, you don’t need to worry. It can be a little painful but rest assured that you will be just fine!”
After hearing Rose’s words, not only that Romon did not get less anxious, he became much more nervous. He pleaded to Han Shuo as though he was going to cry, “Can I not do this? I’m already quite happy with the current state of my body!”
Han Shuo shook his head, put on a rather wicked smile, and replied, “It’s pretty good now, but I will make it much, much better! Hehe, you just need to stay where you are. It will take one month at most. I assure you, your new body will work with the metal and toxins much better and you will sense it yourself!”
Rose was a little skeptical but hoped Han Shuo’s words were true. She watched Romon attentively for any sign of life.
Yet another three days had passed. Fire Elite Zombie stopped cooking Romon with his flames. The sludge that covered his body had turned into a bizarre metal with incredible toughness. From a distance, Romon looked like a small volcano radiating light and heat.
“It’s almost done. He should emerge tonight,” remarked Han Shuo after he carefully sensed the state of Romon’s divine soul.
“I hope you are right,” said Rose. Her face was filled with regret, as though she felt that it was a mistake to bring Han Shuo to Romon.<i>If Bryan really killed Romon, what should I do? How am I going to face him?</i> thought Rose before she sighed.
And soon, the bright full moon took the place of the scorching sun. It was nighttime.
Thick vapor suddenly began emerging from Romon’s body as though he was being doused with iced-water. His temperature was also rapidly dropping as though he had been dipped into an ice-bath.
After a while, Romon stopped giving off vapor and was no longer glowing red. He looked normal again.
Under the attentive gazes of the crowd, Romon suddenly opened his eyes and made an ecstatic face. He wiggled slightly and his body oozed out from the mold as though it was liquid metal. Standing on the swamp, Romon stretched his arms forward and they transformed into a pair of stabbing blades. Smaller blades glistening with chilling lights also shot out from his shoulders and elbows. He then opened his mouth and spat out a stream of colorless but foul-smelling gas. The plants that touched it immediately withered and liquefied.
Romon was laughing heartily for he realized that he was in absolute control of the metals inside his body. Not only could he transform arms and legs into weapons of any shapes, but he could even instantly transform his body into an enormous sword that spits poisons.
Rose was flabbergasted and she cried out in surprise, “How did you do that? That is miraculous!”
“So, I guess now you won’t blame me for torturing him, will you?” said Han Shuo mockingly.
“Fella, you should know just how damn lucky you are. Other than my father, who could unleash the full potential of your body? And even do so in such a short time? With your new body, there are now far fewer people who could injure you. Even an average highgod wouldn’t be able to cause you any harm!” remarked Han Jin.
While inside the mold, inspired by the transformation, Romon had been thinking about how to use the metals to enhance his body’s defensive powers. He had been discussing with Han Shuo and Han Jin about those methods. Han Jin had even given Romon some of his insights about metals.
Romon stepped forward, kneeled with both knees, kowtowed at Han Shuo, and said with utmost sincerity, “Thank you, my Master!”
