- Hajime squatted down and reached for the mound of crumbled sealstone that had once been Yue’s prison.
- ...
- Vivid crimson sparks skittered across the floor.
- Hajime had used his transmutation on the pile of sealstone.
- Back then, destroying the prison had taken every ounce of strength he possessed, but now the sealstone’s mana resistant properties didn’t seem to affect him at all.
- ...
- “Before, I had a hard time transmuting sealstone. Because it dampens magic, I couldn’t even keep much of it in my Treasure Trove. Though, I guess I wouldn’t have kept it even if I could’ve, since it seemed to bring back bad memories for Yue. Anyway, the point is, I can easily mold it however I want now.”
- -Volume 11
- He’d combined it with sealstone, which repelled magic, and azantium ore, the hardest metal in existence, to create a unique alloy.
- And he’d christened this alloy “repellite.”
- Not only was it extremely sturdy, but it also deflected magic and mana
- ...
- After his near brush with death at the Demon Lord’s castle where he’d unlocked the Transcendence skill, Hajime had grown strong enough to transmute even sealstone with ease.
- ...
- The whole thing was also coated in sealstone to make it impossible to destroy with disintegration magic.
- -Volume 12
- Damn... This guy’s good... Hajime thought to himself.
- Red sparks ran down his arms as he desperately tried to keep up with Oscar.
- It was taking everything he had to keep the obelisk from falling apart.
- Even though he was the greatest Synergist alive in the present, he was having a tough time figuring out how to repair the seal.
- In fact, when he’d seen how complicated and precise the layers of magic circles that composed the seal were, he’d almost wanted to give up.
- To make matters worse, the obelisk itself was created from some ore he’d never seen before, and it was a hundred times more resistant to magic than sealstone.
- ...
- Unknown materials? Magic circles that had never been seen before? Those meant nothing to Oscar.
- So long as he could analyze the structure of the obelisk, he’d be able to repair it completely.
- That was just how godlike his skills were.
- Hajime couldn’t help but grit his teeth in frustration when he saw how big a gap there was between their abilities
- ...
- The two of them stared at the obelisk with absolute focus. They were like doctors performing a never-before-attempted life-saving surgery.
- It took perfect coordination and every ounce of skill they possessed to repair the obelisk with the pinpoint precision needed for such a complex artifact.
- The light coming off the two Synergists grew brighter.
- Golden and crimson sparks ran down their arms as they used up every last ounce of mana they had.
- ...
- “Transmute!” Oscar and Hajime cast the final transmutation needed to fix the tower completely.
- Veins of golden and crimson light shot down the tower, and with a deep rumbling, the entire thing righted itself, the deep cracks disappearing like they’d never existed.
