Chapter 602

Chapter 602

With his jacket finished and beyond his expectations, along with a couple new levels to go with it, Ben took some time to look at the rest of his equipment as well.

Of the things he would regularly wear, he had all of his rings which there was no real way to improve on given that they were just there for the convenience of his enchanting and connect. Likewise were his three mythril bands that were ever-wrapped around his arm to be enchanted on at all times, letting him practice and grow his enchanting in a manner that felt almost passive with how casual it was for him, even if anyone else would see enchantments forming and breaking constantly across all of them at all times.

When it came to his moribusial and deathstone bands, there wasnt much he could do to improve them either. Hed periodically compare the amount of mana and life force that would be drained from him against his regeneration rates but since both were largely just worn while he was asleep neither were things to be improved.

Which just leaves the bracelet Falk gave me and my barrier shoes for my more permanent bits of equipment, along with my knife and gun for when Im going for a fight. I cant improve the first but I can work on the shoes at least, I might end up needing them with everything to come, and then I think Im happy with where the other two currently stand. Okay, just improving the barrier shoes it is I guess.

That at least was mostly a matter of remaking their enchantments, trying to make them stronger while at the same time activating faster so he wouldnt have another unfortunate moment where hed be forced to watch it slowly going up as attacks were already getting past the barrier as it went up.

Of course, theres only so much I can do about that. He thought with a sigh. As my minds gets faster then theres only so much I can do to make the enchantment activation speed keep up. Ill just need to try and be mindful of that fact when activating them. Oh well, whats next?

By that point hed decided he wasnt going to bother with sleep that night so wanted to move on to another project, finding one waiting in the form of some ongoing work he was still struggling with. Among his many projects, he still had a body to make for Inux, with the taloss soul still contained back at home, and with a brand new level to both his crafting and enchanting it had officially become the perfect time to put them to the test.

Okay, heres hoping this doesnt work too well, otherwise I may end up a little hurt.Thi/s chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m



Yeah, if thats the best this thing can do then its absolutely not good enough. A wonder of robotics and enchanting, this would make an excellent substitute body for any random soul that needed one, but its combat potential is terrible.

Just to confirm it, he let the robot attack for a bit longer, watching it struggle against its captor in a form that simply didnt have a level of power that someone with as many awakened skills as Ben could lose to. Every move was too obvious and weak, with it only stopping when he got close enough to rip out its soul crystal, letting the product fall to the ground below.

Ugh, I can see a few places where I could immediately improve but I think Im about to start hitting some fundamental limits to both the materials at use and my knowledge here, He groaned. I guess knowledge is only kind of an issue. I learn more as I practice and that gives me a chance to see what bits of robotics Ive learned from the grey are either applicable or adaptable to this universe, but when it comes to materials

He supposed that was another issue hed have to work through with experimentation and practice but his thoughts just kept drifting back to Inuxs original body.

He may not have been sure what it was made of, every single material that went into it felt almost biological in nature but obviously werent given the fact that neither light nor life magic could be used on it, but as things were it wasnt something he could replicate, maybe being something hed never be able to replicate. Without knowing exactly what it was, it was something that only a god could create.

Except not even a god since none of the ones I know could tell me anything either. He sighed. So where does that even leave me?

He needed better materials and given that he wasnt prepared to revolutionize chemistry and material science to the point where it might almost be considered biology, where did that possibly leave him with where to go from there?

Actually, dont I have Nare looking into an entire periodic table of new materials? Looks like it might be time to see how thats working out.
