Being able to meet Little Red so quickly in the Chaos Abyss was an unexpected but reasonable surprise.
Also, the dwarves were astonished that I had "forced back" the powerful Red Dragon King, which caused them to become even more reliant on me.
Unfortunately, I didn't find any materials suitable for creating a holy sword from their storerooms. Instead, there were many materials that contained negative energy.
But when I thought about it, it would be strange if there were any holy materials in the Chaos Abyss, but there were plenty of dark materials. Would I have to change to another magic sword? Still, I lacked many other materials as well. Changing paths whenever I met with any difficulty would be the same as constantly running away.
"You didn't prepare anything beforehand? Those Myth-ranked individuals can prepare for half their lives in order to advance to the next power level. You must have quite a lot of wealth. "
"I obtained quite a lot of gold and silver back in the day, but they weren't of much use. The truly good materials have to be chosen based on your Myth-ranked weapon's design concept. You might even need to start creating them beforehand. For example, the Undead Lords slaughtering entire cities to collect souls. The best material for a holy sword is the soul of an unyielding Holy Knight who's willing to sacrifice himself. None of these materials can be bought or collected. "
Harloys was quite wealthy, so she probably didn't really care about how difficult it was for ordinary humans to grow up.
"Not to mention, there are some special Concepts that have special requirements, such as the Traitor's Heart, Lust Lotus, and other items with names that sound ridiculous. You even have to create your own materials. If it weren't for the fact that Adam is' undying 'and has such a high requirement for the Concept of' Fire ', we wouldn't have needed to fight against the phoenix back in the day. That was the most difficult battle I can remember. "
I paused for a moment. If it had been for any other reason, it would have been possible, but …
"The most unfortunate part is that I learned too many things …"
Harloys suddenly understood. Perhaps this was the key. Although Holy Light, Ice, and Death weren't unpopular Concepts, Roland's time and energy were both limited. It would be impossible for him to collect enough high-quality Myth-ranked materials.
Others would spend their entire lives walking down a single path. Naturally, they would spend all their efforts on that path, so they would definitely have many resources. Roland, on the other hand, had walked down four paths. While his progress was fast, his accumulations were far too shallow, making it impossible for him to keep up with his power level. Now, he finally reached a bottleneck.
"How did you manage to solve it back in the day?"
"Me? The greatest advantage of necromancers was that as long as they wanted corpses, they wouldn't lack materials. The Seven Original Sins are my Myth-ranked weapons. My soul's Original Desires are the Concepts themselves. They're the clones of my soul, and they're connected to each other to continuously grow. Although this can be considered a shortcut, I did indeed rely on this to reach SemiGod rank. "
The "weapon" in Myth-ranked weapons was the Concept of "offensive equipment". It didn't necessarily need to be a weapon. A spell that was infused with a powerful "Concept" was also an Myth-ranked weapon. Naturally, a complete Soul World that was infused with a Concept would also count.
Heloise fell silent. She had also figured out the reason.
"Undead Lords? Just go and kill them …"
There were some things that didn't need to be said too clearly. The Seven Original Sins, as weapons, were made from countless souls and corpses. Equivalent exchange was also a truth in undead magic. The deeper the soul's will, the more outstanding the material. But, unless I was willing to create an even larger Undead Calamity and personally create countless vengeful souls, I would still lack materials.
From a certain standpoint, those demon kings who would randomly jump out to destroy the world in stories now had at least some normal motives.
I was the most satisfied with the design concept of my death magic sword. The theoretical power that I calculated on paper was inconceivably great. However, I lacked so many materials that I didn't even want to talk about it.
My understanding of ice magic was the most shallow. I didn't even have a clear design concept for my ice magic sword. I figured that I would have to take an unorthodox path in the end and lean more towards practicality.
I was the one who had created the path of Law, and I had quite a deep understanding of it. But, it was precisely because I had a deep understanding that it was even more important. I intended to make Law the core of my power system, as well as make up for what I lacked. As for the materials, I would need to go to Sulfur Mountain City and Hades to find them. Although I had already gotten rid of the relevant authorities, it would still take quite some time.
On the other hand, the design concept of my sword of Holy Light was quite clear. No matter if it was in terms of theory or the materials that I lacked, it was the most complete of all.
"The sword of Holy Light isn't a purely offensive magic sword. If it's designed as a purely offensive magic sword, that would be a waste of Holy Light's support, healing, protection, and purification abilities. That's why I intend to make it into a magic sword with multiple abilities."
"Then, what are the requirements for the materials?"
"As the foundational materials, the more holy materials, the better. However, there are two core areas in my design that require some special materials."
I thought about the design concept again before I finally said it out loud.
"The Light of Salvation has the ability to spread far and wide. If I can use it to constantly radiate the Light of Salvation like a lighthouse, I'll be able to greatly weaken all undead and demons within a certain area. In order to realize this design, I need a material that has the concept of 'spreading' and 'spreading' light. For example, the Everlasting Lamp, the Eternal Light Crystal, and other trinkets. "
Such items existed in the mortal plane. However, their lack of offensive abilities also meant that they were lacking in practicality. They were all holy items of the God of Holy Light that were placed in churches as decorations. At most, they would give off light and heat to brainwash believers. That would be far too wasteful.
This material's properties weren't particularly strong, but it was in line with my design concept. It was absolutely necessary. And that was how troublesome it was to create a Myth-ranked weapon. You didn't need an especially powerful property or power. You just needed a property that was especially suitable for you. Luck was more important than anything else.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that I had a special "comrade-in-arms" relationship with the Holy Church, and that they were all staring at me, I would have already gone to their door and robbed them … If I really couldn't find a suitable material for the Light of Salvation, a masked bandit was also an option.
I was saying this out loud because I hoped that the experienced and knowledgeable Harloys would be able to give me a reference.
However, after several seconds, Harloys shook her head regretfully as she had a contemplative expression. She didn't have any memories of such a God Equipment or treasure.
I sighed. Although this was to be expected, it was still rather regrettable. I knew that even if the Elven Empire really had such an item, it would have only been used as a plaything or sacrificial item. It was highly unlikely that Harloys would know about it.
"What's the second concept?"
"If the first is to disperse light, then the second is naturally to concentrate light …"
This sword of Holy Light was still a sword. Since it was a sword, it would be impossible for it to not have a sharp blade. It would obviously be foolish to waste Holy Light's powerful attack power against the undead and demons. Pure and highly concentrated Holy Light that could be condensed into physical Holy Light was the other half of my Holy Light blade.
"Concentrate and disperse, converge and radiate. Are these two completely opposite concepts? But they both belong to the category of light, so it should be possible to combine them. It's an excellent idea. It also has the ability to weaken enemies in a large area and attack enemies. It's quite practical as well. "
Harloys confirmed my design concept. I was becoming more and more confident. However, we still didn't know what materials we needed. Not only that, this sword of Holy Light was the most complete out of all my magic swords. I didn't have any confidence at all when I thought about how this sword of Holy Light might need to search for the most ancient demon.
"… It would seem that I'll have to rob the Holy Church when I return to the surface."
This was no joking matter. Considering how the God of Holy Light had monopolized the concept of "Light," even if there were natural products of Holy Light in the mortal plane, the God of Holy Light would likely have kept them.
[Actually, the God of Holy Light wasn't the first God of Light …]
My System interrupted my thoughts. She wasn't the type of person who liked to give me background information.
[… Before the God of Holy Light, the first generation God, the Ancient Sun God, and the second generation God, the God of Natural Harmony, both had Divine Concepts related to "Light."]
I paused in surprise for a moment upon hearing this, but then came to a sudden realization. There was no need for me to focus on the God of Holy Light. Since the Light of Salvation was a mutated form of Holy Light, I needed to use the characteristics of light. It was entirely possible for me to find a Divine Concept that was related to "Light" rather than "Holy Light."
Meanwhile, the God Equipment of the ancient Gods, or their Myth-ranked weapons, would likely meet my requirements.
"Then where are they?"
[Since the God of Holy Light has ascended to power, where else can the deposed God of Holy Light go? The Sun God Aloyo resides in the 372nd level of the Chaos Abyss, while the God of Natural Harmony resides in seclusion in the 16th level. Aloyo was once a Main God.]
