Chapter 27 - I Really Want Golden Rule!

'Clack—'

Observing the broken longsword in his grasp, Ethan sighed.

In the field of 'Imaginary Number Magic,' he had indeed devised some methods of use, even replicating Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon by developing a similar method of attack.

However, Ethan's method could hardly be deemed a high-quality imitation; it was merely a low-grade replica.

Within Gilgamesh's treasury, there exist authentic Noble Phantasms, their ranks varying from "E~A++," and even were one to discard them, it would be inconsequential because the Gate of Babylon would automatically reclaim them.

As for Ethan, though he amassed a modest fortune, it was just that—modest.

And such a method of use, frequently, would result in the weapon coming into direct contact with rocks and walls.

Once or twice might be manageable, but as the frequency increases, the wear and tear on the weapon would intensify, eventually leading to its destruction.

Regarding weapons crafted from Projection Magic, Ethan could only utilize them himself, unable to store them in Imaginary Space, since the projected weapons would vanish once the stored magical energy was depleted.

For all these reasons, Ethan began to deplete his funds.

One million Valis, aside from the past two days when Ethan indulged extravagantly for some time, were mostly expended on purchasing weapons thereafter.

However, it has only been a few days, and the funds are nearly all depleted.

Regarding the repair of his weapons, Ethan never contemplated it, after all, maintenance also demands funds, and with his usage method, it's more prudent to purchase new ones rather than repair them, especially since he wasn't acquiring costly weapons.

"I'm running out of money, ah, how wonderful it would be to possess the Golden Rule~~"

At this moment, Ethan truly envied Gilgamesh, who, with the Golden Rule, would never run out of wealth; he too wished to be like Gilgamesh, given his impoverished state.

Murmuring internally, he adeptly collected the magic stones in his palm and then absorbed them collectively.

As he ventured deeper into the dungeon, the monsters he battled became more formidable, and the magic energy contained in their magic stones increased, as did Ethan's magical reserve after absorbing them.

However, it was also for this reason that Ethan sealed off the guaranteed method of amassing wealth.

"Hm? This is 'Hellhound Fang'; I hadn't anticipated such an unforeseen gain."

Though not a valuable drop item, it could still fetch a few thousand Valis.

After all, in Orario, the most suitable materials for crafting equipment are the various materials dropped by monsters, like the Hellhound Fang, which is very apt for crafting blade edges. Of course, this refers to ordinary weapons.

"Today's mission is also accomplished, it's time to return, these days Freya also hasn't made an appearance."

Ethan hasn't seen Freya for several days, not just Freya, Ottar also hasn't shown up.

This left Ethan somewhat perplexed, but after all, she is the goddess of their Familia and his superior; she isn't obliged to inform him of her whereabouts.

Thinking thus, Ethan began to depart from the dungeon, he really had no desire to linger in this dreary place for an extended period.

Even saying, if not for [Daily Missions], he would not wish to visit the dungeon, after all, unlike other adventurers, his potential is boundless, as long as he has diamonds, he can continue to grow stronger.
