Abel examined the disk closely.

‘It’s amazing.’

I haven’t checked the function yet, but I was impressed.

Because the build quality was great.

First of all, there were seams everywhere, but you couldn’t tell unless you looked very closely.

In addition, the letters engraved on the back and side of the disk were traces of elaborate magic engraving.

‘It’s not famous for nothing.’

I couldn’t confirm the detail in the game, but seeing it in person like this made me feel strangely moved.

It was probably because of Abel’s experience working in a workshop.

Even at the Vulcanus workshop, I used to produce artifacts, albeit in small quantities.

Abel looked back and forth at the disk and muttered in admiration.

“Sorry for the old man, but at least two or three steps seem different.”

Perhaps if Vulcan had heard of it, he would have resented it, saying that he had a separate field of expertise.

Abel looked at the disk some more, then looked inside the box.

This is because there is an artifact like this that must come with it.

“Here it is.”

The idea came off nicely.

Inside the box was an instruction manual with a warranty card.

There, along with the name of the artifact, detailed instructions on how to use it were written.

Because he was the only person in the treatment room, I was able to read aloud comfortably.

“name is… … Rhenium?”

It was a pretty interesting name.

Rhenium is an item said to have been used by the god of war.

It’s common to use a name like that for something like an artifact, but this gave me that much confidence.

Abel continued reading the manual.

It was very simple to use, just put your hand on top of the disk and infuse magic power into it.

“Hmm.”

After reading the manual, Abel tried to inject magical power into the disk.

Woong-woong-.

Then, the disc vibrated slightly and suddenly decreased in size.

Originally larger than a human head, the disk was shrunk to the size of a coin.

“Yeah.”

At this size, it would not be too much trouble to carry around on a daily basis.

Abel nodded his head in satisfaction, and this time, in order to confirm Rhenium’s true form, he infused his mana again.

Then, the disk grew to its original size and began to split into dozens of pieces.

charrr!

The split pieces began to wrap around Abel’s arm.

Eventually, the transformation ended and it took the form of a gauntlet.

A metal gauntlet that wraps from the elbow down to the hand.

“oh… … .”

Abel moved his hand around.

I thought there would be some inconvenience when moving as I wore the gauntlet, but surprisingly it was quite comfortable.

In addition, the size was perfect for Abel’s arm.

‘Although it weighs a bit.’

It wasn’t heavy enough to interfere with use.

Abel glanced around the clinic and got up.

Although the aftereffects of magical exhaustion still remained, it was not to the extent that he could not move at all.

Thanks to the newly acquired resilience enhancement ability, it is now enough to walk without any problems.

“The main effect of the gauntlet is… … Strengthen your muscles.”

It’s a simple ability.

Personally, Abel liked that even more.

It was because it was more reliable to demonstrate one ability clearly than to have miscellaneous abilities.

Abel thought for a moment and then grabbed the bed on which he was lying.

It was made of wood, but it was quite heavy.

Swoop-.

However, when I applied strength with my hand wearing the gauntlet, the bed was lifted.

“Yeah.”

The strength gain was significant.

With this incident as an opportunity, I was thinking of getting an appropriate artifact, but at this point, it seemed unnecessary.

‘If I mix it with my newly acquired ability, I’ll be able to deal with low-level monsters somehow?’

The ‘Iron Scale’ obtained this time was an excellent defensive ability.

With just that and this gauntlet, even the Naga who fought hard this time could easily be defeated.

“Mmm.”

Abel, who was delighted, staggered from the sudden dizziness.

He recovered quickly, but not completely.

After checking what to check anyway, Abel removed the gauntlet, put it back in the box, and lay down on the bed.

‘I don’t know if the kids are playing well.’

I don’t know the details, but it was obvious that I wasn’t playing properly.

Abel’s condition was also the same, and the fragments of the giant had invaded the immediate vicinity of the mansion.

While thinking about that, Abel naturally remembered what happened yesterday.

-why… … .

He still remembered clearly what the mutant had said.

Why do you have that power? words to give strength.

Abel’s hand traced the tattoo on his body.

Like the sudden loss of consciousness at sea before, it was something that couldn’t be easily overlooked.

‘A fragment of a giant. Some of them covet my power.’

Looking at the reaction, it wasn’t just coveting.

Apparently, the mutants were furious about why you had that power.

Considering that, it was highly likely that this tattoo was a power related to the ‘Colossus’, which is clearly separate from the system.

So what exactly is this power?

There were only two things I knew right now.

downed opponent. To be precise, absorbing the abilities of colossi and their fragments.

And being able to understand what they say.

“It is not an ordinary power… … .”

Imagine if a giant had this ability.

What if the inherently powerful giant absorbs abilities through fights?

that’s a real disaster

‘I’ll have to keep looking.’

A powerful but dangerous force.

The only way to keep it is to keep getting stronger.

Abel made that conclusion in his mind and closed his eyes.

* * *

tweet-.

Hearing the sound of birds tickling his ears, Abel tossed and turned for a while before opening his eyes.

Turning my head slightly, I saw sunlight streaming in through the window.

Rubbing his eyes and lifting his upper body, Abel checked his body here and there.

“Mmm.”

Although he was a bit flustered, he did not feel the strong sense of exhaustion caused by the exhaustion of mana.

“It got better sooner than I thought.”

I could feel it when I got out of bed and walked.

At this level, vigorous activity is still too much, but there was no major obstacle to movement.

To relieve his tired body, Abel did some light stretching.

By the time I was almost finished.

smart-.

A knock was heard at the door.

“Come on in.”

As soon as I answered, the door opened.

The only ones that appeared through the open door were Henna and Violin.

It’s a pretty unique combination.

“what’s the matter?”

“Uh, that… … .”

Henna hesitated to answer, but Iolin immediately opened her mouth.

“I came because I was worried about henna.”

“Huh?”

Henna’s expression as she looked back at the violin in surprise was quite impressive.

Iolin blinked as if she didn’t know what the problem was, then opened her mouth.

“I came with you because I was worried too.”

“Ah, thank you.”

The atmosphere would become quite awkward if left as it is, so Abel moved his body and said.

“I took a good rest and now I feel fine. Originally, there were no wounds.”

“If it’s magical exhaustion, shouldn’t you take a few days off?”

“I’m naturally strong.”

Iolin nodded at Abel’s words.

“It’s not that strong.”

“yes. So what were the other kids doing?”

“I played the game I played yesterday and looked around.”

As Iolin spoke openly, Henna’s eyes fluttered once again.

Abel laughed when he saw it.

“I’m glad. I was worried that you might not be able to play properly because of me.”

“hmm. Everyone was fine. Henna only… … town.”

Henna eventually chose to physically block Eolin’s mouth.

Iolin, who was talking without thinking, looked at Henna with a puzzled expression.

Of course, Henna was lightly ignored.

“Mom, I’m glad you’re feeling well. The carriage leaves in 3 hours. If you are still uncomfortable, you can rest a little longer and then go.”

“no. I have to go back too. My body isn’t particularly uncomfortable.”

I was thinking of leaving soon. I have to eat and pack my things.

Henna showed a strangely regretful expression, but soon nodded and said.

“Then wait a minute. A servant will bring you a change of clothes. Then you can come to the restaurant.”

“huh.”

Hena just said that and hurriedly went back. Iolin was forcibly dragged by her.

Soon after, a servant came and brought me a change of clothes.

There was a bathroom right next to the clinic, so Abel washed up and changed into the clothes they brought.

‘It’s good.’

As soon as I put it on, I could tell that it was made of good fabric.

Originally, the clothes were torn here and there in the process of fighting, so I asked them to dispose of them.

As soon as Abel finished preparing, he was guided by a servant to the dining room.

“Abel!”

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I saw Daniel waving.

Abel smiled and nodded and went to sit next to him.

“Are you feeling okay?”

“uh. I’m fine.”

“I’m glad you weren’t seriously hurt.”

Darin, who was sitting across from me, said in a sincere voice.

Hearing worried words here and there, I felt embarrassed but not too bad.

Abel said several times that he was healed and started eating.

Henna opened her mouth when she was almost finished eating her exceptionally hearty breakfast.

“Everyone goes back to the academy, right?”

“yes. Darin also said that he would go back to Jedo first and then go home.”

“Then there are five of us in total.”

Henna glanced over and said.

As she said, there were five people in total.

One of them has been silent the whole time and has no presence.

Abel turned his head slightly and saw Mei, who was dozing as soon as she finished eating.

‘He still seemed a bit lively when he was playing in the sea.’

While thinking about that, Hena, who was pondering something, opened her mouth.

“I think I’ll do the same for the returning carriage.”

“one?”

“huh. Because of safety concerns.”

Henna’s eyes turned to Abel for a moment.

“I thought it would be better to have an escort on the way back. You never know.”

“Ugh. It doesn’t.”

Daniel nodded and replied. Other people were also in a mood to express sympathy.

The fact that the villa was attacked must have had a big impact.

“Instead, I prepared a larger wagon. It probably won’t be uncomfortable.”

“Well, I think it would be more fun if we all rode together. It feels like traveling.”

Abel deliberately spoke in a positive tone.

Hearing those words, Henna smiled lightly, as if her heart was relieved.

“Thank you for thinking that way.”

“Thank you. i’m more grateful They care about safety and even attach an escort.”

“that’s right.”

Darin also agreed.

Henna continued to speak in a much lighter voice.

“Then, after dinner, everyone can pack up their things and rest. When the time comes, I will call you.”

“okay. Hena, you suffered a lot too.”

“What is suffering? It’s been a long time since I played, so it was really fun.”

After finishing the meal in such a friendly atmosphere, Abel went up to the room with Daniel.

After packing up and chatting with Daniel for a while, it was time to leave in an instant.

A servant walked around the room telling them to come down, and everyone went down to the first floor and got into the prepared wagon.

The wagon was certainly much larger than the ones I had ridden before, and it looked sturdy.

“Do you think this will be enough to stop the shelling?”

“Maybe?”

At Daniel’s muttering, Hena casually said something shocking.

He said he was concerned about safety, and it seemed like he had brought something incredibly strong.

When all the luggage was loaded and everyone boarded, Hena said with a sad expression.

“Everyone, be careful.”

“huh!”

The carriage left the villa with Henna and a few people including the butler seeing them off.

Abel looked outside with the window open.

There were accidents like this, but I still felt regret when I left.

‘I want to come to play again next time.’

But the regret is momentary.

There was still too much to do to stop and rest in one place.

Abel thought as he turned his head away from the scenery outside.

‘First of all, Deborah’s experiments.’

Now I have to go back to my tight schedule.
