Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 2003: The Hammer -Part 2

"Like I said, your hatred for your master had made you strong and you might have something similar to a power that could slam the celestials head on." Jin said but in actuality, he was basing it on a guess.

The emission of energy felt a little familiar so Jin decided to dig a bit deeper. And during this conversation, he was kind of analysing the composition of the power that the Hammer was putting out and thus found out that it had some similarities to two kinds of powers.

It was minute in nature but he could definitely 'taste' void and demonic energies within the mix of the celestial energy. It was as if this hammer might be the solution to killing the Celestials once and for all.

Baal might not have explicitly said it but if the Demons had been pitting against the Celestials for centuries or years beyond time, then it was possible that the Celestials had some protection against Demonic energy. So, going full demonic was not the best solution but better than just using human chi and attempting to go in with a toothpick rather than a spear.

Then again, what if there were conflicts against one's own race? Or to put it in another way, how did one show its dominance and achieve a hierarchy system within their own race? That means having Celestial powers would be sufficient in killing a Celestial as well but it was not the most effective.

On the other hand, Jin had void energy and while it was untested territory, Farasha had already proven that it proved effective at killing Demons but not Celestials. Yet, the Demons themselves proclaimed that it was definitely sufficient to kill the Celestials using Void Energy.

But the problem with this theory is that Jin can only use Void Energy when there is the presence of a Void Being or within the Void Realm.

He was not able to manipulate or even fabricate Void Energy without the presence of an existing Void source. But even without Void Energy, Jin was still able to kill Demons and perform such a feat because he had a good amount of Maqi; by mixing mana and chi, it was like a level 2 kind of energy to fight against a level 3 energy.

Difficult against a proper higher demon but Jin was not fighting alone back then since Moloch who was by his side had been providing his own mana to assist with the fight.

That was why Jin was able to win against Baal to a certain extent by exerting himself to the fullest capacity. However, it was pretty certain that using merely magic or chi was not enough since it was a level 1 kind of energy fighting against a level 3 energy. Perhaps, killing demonic or celestial demons might be sufficient with magic but definitely not the stronger ones.

Even the Moon King's letter had already proven it to be true when Jin thought about it off hand. The dead Moon King had stated that this country that he is in right now is filled with magic users. And yet, they had to infuse Demon Blood into their equipment to fend off the angels.

Jin did not need to be a very smart guy to see the connection that celestials particularly could not be killed unless there was a counterforce against it.

But when previously posed a question on why his weapons were still effective against the Demons in the Dungeon World, the System was not able to provide a straight answer. And yet to defend itself, the System also showed video clips of instances where tanks and humans with high magic or chi were not able to hurt demons at all.

Just a mid tier demon could get minor injuries from all those but nothing else.

And that begged the question of whether the world they were in had affected the demons or celestials immunity or the System might actually be partially Celestial due to it being a product of the heavens so anything it touched or contact with gave the people killing ability against the demons.

It was not a proven fact considering they did not capture a Celestial since the Demons like Diabolos and KRaft had swiftly annihilated the Celestials to the point the System was not capable of resurrecting them. This was because what Diabolos did was not just ripping their bodies but also their souls so that they could never be resurrected back to the Celestial planes.

At that point, Diabolos definitely did not consider the situation where the System was able to capture their songs and use them for the benefit of Jin and the rest. To him, Diabolos was merely fulfilling its internal instinct of eliminating the celestials. Whether he gained favour from the System or Jin, that was a secondary objective.

So, with the mystery continuing to allude Jin on whether he and his army of minions were capable of killing the Celestials when the time came, it was more beneficial for the Dungeon Supplier if he could secure a more definite source of energy that could kill the Divine.

"Ah...to be honest, I have no concrete plan. But the fact that someone had given me a heads up that the place would be enmassed with angel monsters in 5 years should provide us some time to do some preparation before they come. I do not have the full situation of this ...kingdom I am supposed to take care of."

"Heh, if you want to know something, they had always been sending people here to touch me...well not that I noticed at first to be honest but as the years passed, I tended to play along to see if they could see through my hatred and talk to me."

"So, you were acting all along?"

"Kind of. I got to know whether the person that would be holding me would be useful to fuel my agenda against that bastard of a master that I had. Since I am a loaned weapon, I make sure I pay two thousand years' worth of interest back to him." The Hammer exclaimed and Jin shook his head.

"Hey, I already lowered my standards okay? I was that desperate,"

"Then do you want to increase your force and see whether I can handle it?" Jin asked and the Hammer thought for a while.

"Hmmm, I will do it in increments. That way, you might be able to survive rather than just one huge boost. I would rather keep you now that I know there's someone to talk to." The hammer chuckled.

"I am fine with that, I would also like to see how much I could handle." Jin nodded against the challenge and the Hammer as per his request, started to emit stronger energy by the second.

It did not take long for the old servant to notice that the malice energy that the Hammer was emitting started to overflow out from the crevices of the door. He then realised something was very wrong and decided to walk away from it temporarily.

But as the energy started to manifest as a physical gas form, the old servant assumed that something terrible happened to the Moon King successor candidate and it caused the hammer to go haywire.

All he could do now was to call for the mages as fast as his old terrible legs could support in hopes that he would be in time to contain it before things grew out of proportion.

However, Jin was so focused on handling the Hammer's powers that he did not notice this unfortunate predicament that the energy leaked out of the room. Yet, the hammer relic noticed it perfectly well and decided to change the energy to focus just on Jin himself. It knew what his powers had manifested into and how it could be dangerous to people.

And even though he did kill people knowingly with his powers, it was not his style to kill them accidentally.

Unfortunately, this instantly boosted the amount of energy that Jin had to handle and the hammer relic was temporarily not aware of it but the realisation came too late and he could not take it back otherwise there would be a rebound.

Yet, to his surprise, Jin was able to handle it perfectly well. In fact, there was little to no struggle in his face when the surge came and Jin merely stared at him blankly as if this was telling the hammer, "Is that it?"

"Har, this rascal. I will make sure that you do suffer badly!" The hammer stated and sent another surge of energy into Jin's body for him to handle and yet the Dungeon Supplier could still yawn.

"Looks like your this erm...malice energy is not as strong as I thought." Jin attempted to provoke it a little more and the hammer decided to fall into its provocation. He was doing all this because of the System popups he had been getting.

"You had tolerated high malice energy for 1 minute. +1 Magic."

"You had tolerated high malice energy for 2 minutes. +1 Magic."

"You had tolerated a new level of malice energy. +1 Magic."

All these keep popping up and Jin knew that he could still handle it. Whether the increase in magic is true or not, that was not for him to know for he could barely feel the difference. In fact, this particular System was not even putting up any status window for him to see his status properly which infuriated him.

For now, he could only hope that all these stats eventually make a difference for him but at the same time, Jin felt that he was finally able to feel what a 'real' System User feels like. Previously, he thought he was a System User but there was no proper gauge of his growth.

Sure, perhaps the System was modern or something when he thought about it but only later to find out that because he was not a fighter combat kind of System user, there was no use of the System to provide such information.

"GAH, I give up." The Hammer said and he left himself dead on the pedestal. "You win. you win. There is no way I can continue any further. This damn outsider is just no match for me." The Hammer said as he surrendered himself to this so called successor to the Moon King.

If anything, it looked like he had found a pretty good user after 2000 years and the hammer was going to do anything to get the user to use him rather than being stuck in this pathetic four walls.

But this damn outsider was not letting go and still smiled so devilish. "I SAID I GIVE UP!"
