The Challenge of a Young Merchant

As if turning into a liquid, the metallic cube started to melt, and bubble.

Some of the most common materials like iron, lead, and copper, were turning into types of metal which weren't present in the cube before, due to the influence of the perfect metallic treasure.

The various colors which covered its surface were slowly merging, forming infinite types of alloys, composed of each and every kind of metal in existence.

The former cube kept changing shape for a few minutes, until finally, its metallic essence became less chaotic and more controlled. It had turned from natural mana, into the type of mana which belonged to a living organism, and that could be recreated and consumed without the help of another living essence.

After a few minutes of slow movements, the unsteady cube started to melt completely, forming a puddle of liquid, and multicolored metal, that covered the floor of the cellar completely.

In the middle of this puddle, was the perfect metal treasure.
