The Runic Alchemist

Chapter 493: Hellforged

Chapter 493: Hellforged

The moment Damian opened his eyes after successfully completing his trial, he found himself facing the same scene—the few surviving Highswords still locked in battle against the steam-and-charcoal-covered lava monster.

Relief washed over him. His years of effort had not been in vain. He could still save his friends—hopefully. His hand was already on the generator, continuing the mana generation process as he retrieved a forge and some steel ingots. Multitasking, he could begin crafting weapons and tools, preparing for the worst in case the Demon Lord caught up again. It shouldn't, though—not yet. That thing was still a good distance away.

He had mastered aura control well enough to maintain the process effortlessly, without even batting an eye. He just needed ten to fifteen minutes to gather enough mana to open a waygate. As the ingots heated in the forge, he took the opportunity to check his new job. Activating his status tool, he glanced at the many Highswords scattered across the sand dune—some healing, some resting, most mourning the friends they had lost.

They had already seen Damian at work and knew there was nothing more they could do but wait and gather their strength.

He needed Runefather's help, but he would call for him after checking his status. Let the man rest for a while. It may have been thirty-one long years for him, but for the others, it had only been seconds since they escaped the jaws of death itself.
