Upgrade
A few hours before they defeated Raz Gulag…
Viktor sat alone in the middle of the forest, and he stared at the pile of weapons the recruits collected from the defeated Uruks in the last few weeks.
"Well, time to extract them all!"
Viktor took the stolen weapons one by one, and all of them melted away into metal essence, before they were all absorbed away. After absorbing around 10 weapons, a notification appeared in his mind.
[120 mid-level metal essence extracted.]
[1% progress to stage six Anvil core]
[Core of Anvil Stage five : 1.1%]
"What?!"
Viktor clicked his tongue with distaste. He was shocked at that result, as he was not absorbing just any metal. He was absorbing tier 2 weapons.
"So, in other words, weapons made of tier 2 metals have minimim effect on my core level now."
If he needed 10 pieces of tier 2 weapons to reach one percent, then he would need at least 1000 weapons to reach the next tier, assuming he only absorbed tier 2 weapons.
