Cosmic Peak

Chapter 62 - Magia-Deviant Spot.

The Pig-man rubbed his hands as he pointed three fingers, "Three thousand crista-shards, hehehe. I was literally waiting for a Wild absorber to appear, so this price is only fair. Also," The pig-man looked around before speaking in a low voice, "You might be able to get a Mutated-magic ability even higher than A-grade there because the device I used to search it could only detect up to A-grade."

Aren nodded before he took out a gold coin and asked indifferently, "How many crista-coin can I get with this gold coin?"

Seeing the shining gold coin, the Pig man's eyes also shined as he stuttered, "T-this...where did you get this? It's a luxury currency among Magia-elites here. S-sir, you can get 100 crista-shards for that one coin."

Hearing that, Athan frowned slightly, 'Such high value? This means that the price of A-grade is low in a way. Hmmm...there should be way higher-grade mutated-magic abilities as well.'

Aren first took out additional twenty-nine coins before giving them to Pig-man, who took them all with gusto.

"Alright, now lead the way," Aren spoke indifferently.

"R-right away, sir," Pig-man hurriedly nodded as he put away the gold coins in a chest and then came out from behind the counter.

"Let's go, sir. The place is thirty kilometers away from here, where an eruption zone is located, and the Magia-deviant spot is in that eruption zone."

Aren nodded as both of them walked out of the town on the Pig-man's two-seat bike that released green gas from its strange silencer.

The bike's speed increased after coming out of the town as they zoomed towards the west direction.

After ten minutes, they arrived at the so-called Eruption zone.

It was called an eruption zone due to the ground that constantly erupted with green, orange, and such colored liquid.

Pig-man led Aren inside this zone as they walked for ten minutes while being careful of erupting liquids.

Aren was curious, but he didn't ask the Pig-man about it since it would make him suspicious.

"Here it is, sir. Now I will leave because I don't want to be exposed to Magia-deviant spot since I am not a wild absorber yet."

"Wait," Aren called out right before the Pig-man turned around.

Pig-man turned around with doubt and asked, "Any problem, sir?"

Aren took out hundred gold coins before saying with a smile, "How about you accompany me for twenty-four hours? For each hour you assist me, I will give you five gold coins. I might give you extra if you serve me better."

Pig-man's hands trembled in excitement, "Hon..hon!! R-really, sir? You are not joking, right?"

Aren smiled and gave him twenty gold coins, "Here, take advance payment."

Pig-man was overjoyed as he opened his mouth wide and ate those gold coins before saying with enthusiasm in his voice, "I am ready, sir. you can order me to do anything as long as it doesn't hurt me or put my life in danger."

'This human sir is really loaded. Hmm, he might take me with him if I perform better! This is my chance!'

"Good," Aren nodded with a smile, not bothering about how Pig-man ate those gold coins. Maybe it was his way of storing things? He then looked at the Magia-Deviant spot in front of them.

This spot was a one square meter mystical place in front of them. In that one square meter area, liquids were floating around with sparks in them. The majority of liquids were different shades of orange liquid with different shades of orange and red sparks in them.

The sight was truly magical.

Without turning back to look at Pig-man, Aren asked in a calm tone, "As you know, there are several methods to absorb mutated-magic abilities."

"Yes, sir."

"You also said that you've yet to become a wild absorber, right?"

Pig-man was startled and asked agitatedly, "T-this...sir. Will you be helping me in that process? I know some D and C-grade Magia deviant spots. Will you help me train if I lead you there?"

"That depends on your performance," Aren answered while absorbing the words of Pig-man.

Aren thought of something and asked, "I have several ways of training, but what is your way of training to become a wild-absorber?"

"S-sir, I am not rich, so I can only use the general method of absorbing energies from C or D-grade Magia-deviant spots and refine my body gradually. My body is currently F-grade, so I can absorb F-grade abilities, but to be considered a Wild absorber, one must have the strength to absorb energy from Magia-deviant spots of B-grade or higher grade and gain a complete ability from them."

"I see," Aren nodded while internally frowning, 'So is it impossible for me to absorb A-grade mutated-magic ability directly? No! There should be a way to do that. Otherwise, these tasks are impossible to complete in twenty-four hours. Also, the task mentioned that I can only absorb one ability.'

He focused on the Magia-deviant spot to get its information if possible.

After two seconds, a window finally appeared in his head with information.

[Amber of Eturnia]

-Type: Magia-Deviant spot.

-Grade: S

<Possible abilities to be gained>

-->Amber burst.--70% chance.--A grade

-->Amber Crust Body.--25% chance.--A+ grade

-->Amber Core of Eturnia.--5% chance.--S grade.

-Note:- Chances to get higher grade ability increases with proper and better absorption.

'It looks like It takes time for my eyes to get information in this world, and I need to focus hard for it. Well, at least I can get information.'

"What's your name?" Aren asked the Pig-man.

"S-sir, My name is Perambol," Pig-man, now Perambol answered immediately.

"So, Perambol, tell me in detail about your crude absorption method because I have always used an advanced method, and I want to try this crude method so I can help you in progress later."

At first, Perambol was startled, but when he heard about how Aren would help him in progress, he released his usual strange sound from his nose in excitement, "Hon...Hon!! Sure, sir. The way I absorb is to use the core in my body to attract the energy and then let it refine my body. I usually intake a small amount first since I am very sensitive to pain. This is also the reason that my progress is slow."

'Core?' Aren thought, 'Hmm, I also have a core, but it's spirit core. Well, let's try and see if it works.' Aren thought, but right after that, he remembered something and almost slapped his own face.

'Damn...how could I forget that? sigh....'
