Chapter 335
Extract non-living matter into raw materials for enchantment.
At this moment, sitting on the table was a single potion.
「Life Restoration Elixir」
This was a potion used by Level 5 class holders, capable of rapidly healing severe injuries. Its effect was comparable to a mid-tier healing spell cast by a Level 5 healer.
However, consuming multiple doses in a short period would generate resistance, significantly reducing its effectiveness.
It was expensive—priced at 150 gold per bottle on the market.
But at a critical moment...
A single bottle could mean the difference between life and death.
"Extract."
Shh—
A faint glow appeared in Rei’s hand.
Among the core skills of an enchanter was the ability to refine base materials into true enchantment components—Enchantment Stones, Enchantment Liquids, and similar forms.
Much like brewing potions.
However, normally, these materials had to strictly follow established synthesis rules. One could not simply create whatever enchantment material they desired out of nothing.
And yet—
The potion in front of Rei flickered with light.
At the same time, a solid Enchantment Stone appeared in his hand.
The potion itself remained untouched.
The stone had been created from nothing.
「God-Tier Talent — Extraction」
To Rei, this potion was no longer merely a potion.
It had been transformed into a flawless Enchantment Stone, and as an enchanter, he could clearly perceive the effect contained within it.
「Enchantment — Life Restoration: Grants healing equivalent to a Tier 5 Life Restoration Elixir.」
"...Just like I thought."
Rei casually picked up a piece of iron armor.
Over the past days, he had forged at least a hundred such pieces—simple Tier 1 black iron armor, completely unenchanted.
He pressed the Enchantment Stone lightly against its surface.
A yellow-green glow spread across the armor...
A surge of life energy blossomed within it.
The enchantment succeeded.
「Enchantment Effect — Life Restoration」
It worked.
Shh—
In the next instant, the armor equipped itself onto Rei’s body.
A faint green radiance lingered around him.
Though he wasn’t injured, he could clearly feel it—
He was constantly under the effect of the potion.
"...It really is exactly the same."
There was no loss in effectiveness.
As long as the equipment was worn, the effect remained permanent.
No resistance buildup.
No duration limit.
Ordinary potions were bound by time, and resistance was a persistent, complicated issue. Most could not be consumed repeatedly in quick succession without diminishing returns.
But this...
Completely bypassed those limitations.
"If this works..."
With a thought, Rei retrieved two items from his storage space:
「Molten Solid Flame」「Longevity Blossom」
He tapped the Molten Solid Flame lightly.
It flickered—
And transformed into an Enchantment Stone.
"That works too."
Next, he touched the Longevity Blossom.
A faint glow emerged, and in his hand appeared a pool of golden liquid—an Enchantment Liquid.
So it all works...
「Enchantment Effect — Molten Solid: Grants flames the ability to melt hardened metals.」「Enchantment Effect — Longevity Extension: Gradually increases the upper limit of lifespan.」
The effect of Molten Solid Flame matched Rei’s expectations.
But the Longevity Blossom...
...did not.
Consumed directly, the flower extended lifespan by fifty years.
Rei had wondered whether converting it into an enchantment would grant fifty years periodically over time.
After all, the Life Restoration Elixir had retained its full effect.
But now it seemed...
...he had overestimated it.
Perhaps only by refining it into a true elixir of immortality could it produce such an effect.
Still—
These enchantments were far stronger than ordinary enchantment effects.
"I should gather more materials... and study this properly."
With a casual sweep of his hand, countless strange and varied materials appeared across the workbench.
Tonight, he intended to push the limits of enchantment to their absolute edge.
And if possible...
The next step would be forging a complete set of equipment tailored specifically to himself.
At present, his combat style had once again become almost barebones.
He relied entirely on his own raw strength.
While that strength was more than sufficient—
With equipment that matched his level...
Combat would undoubtedly become far easier.
A full day passed.
Rei exhausted four uses of Future Simulation once more.
If everything proceeded normally, they would arrive at Moonfall Island in about two days.
And based on his simulations—
Nothing unexpected would occur there.
As for the extraction of enchantment effects, Rei had already deduced the underlying rules:
Only physical substances could be extracted.(Gases, liquids, and solids all qualified.)
Magic and combat techniques could not be extracted.
Each substance could only be extracted once.Even if divided or refined afterward, it could not be extracted again.
Humans could also be extracted...but only as corpses.
The resulting enchantment effect varied depending on the extracted subject.
Generally, the stronger the source, the stronger the resulting enchantment.
...Which made Rei briefly consider trying it on himself.
But since only non-living matter qualified—
He abandoned the idea.
He had attempted some unconventional workarounds.
None succeeded.
Additionally—
While it was possible to equip multiple items with identical enchantments...
Their effects did not stack linearly.
Instead, they suffered diminishing returns—similar to resistance.
In one night, Rei forged an entire set:
「Ascending Realm Set」
Ten pieces in total.
Yet when equipped together, their combined effect only equaled about three doses of the potion.
The loss was significant.
But...
It was still beneficial.
Wearing the set was equivalent to bypassing resistance and consuming four additional doses of Ascending Realm.
This further reduced the difficulty of class advancement.
Even though he was pursuing more and more class advancements...
He was also continuously acquiring tools to reduce their difficulty.
The two factors offset each other—
Maintaining a strange, fragile balance.
With 「God-Tier Talent — Extraction」
He could create countless interesting items.
And not just equipment.
Since he could apply enchantments to any material—
The potential combinations were far broader.
「Misirushi — White Gorge Port」
The northern port of Misirushi.
Early in the morning on April 29th—
Kanzaki Rei arrived at the harbor together with Kiyomi and Luluwei.
Their journey... was about to begin.
