Chapter 924- Corrupted Weapons
It was more like hitting a wall and nothing he did worked. Now all he could do was let time run its course and hope that he would gain some sudden enlightenment.
That is the only way to breakthrough to the next stage… i.e. the mutation magic.
Simon knew how difficult it was to master mutation magic which is why, he was focusing on strengthening his other aspects.
The Dark magic which was one of the four rare attributes still had a lot of potential that he could draw out. If he could combine dark magic with another attribute to create a new amalgamation magic, the strength it would possess would by far exceed the amalgamation magic of two intermediate tiers and even some advanced tier magic.
His status window proved the fact that he still had a lot of areas and aspects he could increase to raise his strength.
After finishing his bath, Simon headed out. His destination was the training floor which had been completely remodled to contain an underground prison and a wide area akin to a city above.
Annette who was dutifully waiting for him, handed him his new set of clothes and together they headed for the training floor.

"Big sister Bea" Alice who was waiting near the entrance of the prison, tackled Bea in High spirits.
"I feel like it has been so long since I last saw you" the youngest Valkyrie snuggled adorably.
"What are you saying you stupid girl, you were only away for a couple of months and besides, we saw each other yesterday didn't we?" Bea sighed rustling her little sister's hair.
"Unn" Alice pouted "Its true but you went away in the middle of the festival. Are you perhaps upset? Was it one of the prisoners? Dammit those bastards, I will drill hundreds of holes in their bodies".
With a savage expression, she was about to head inside the prison and torture those unfortunate souls when she was stopped by Bea.
"Calm down, it's not that. I went away in the middle yesterday because the festival was just too much for me. I was not feeling well"
Perhaps she could have fooled others with that excuse of hers. However, the Valkyries were programmed to be a tight knit group of sisters who understood each other very well.
As one of them, Alice understood her big sister more than anyone. When it came to occasions like these, she was the heart of the festival, someone who would hype the event with just her presence.
She who loved festivals… for her to go away somewhere in the middle, there had to be some big reason.
She wasn't well? Alice wasn't going to believe that pathetic excuse.
'As I thought something must have happened' the Valkyrie looked at her big sister and noticed the slight patches of red at the corner of her eyes. Although it was barely visible, it wasn't going to go unnoticed from her sharp eyes.
Bea was crying!! But why?
In this world, there was only one person who could make her cry like this. She did not even need to ask who was it.
"Big sister Bea, don't tell me you are still harbouring feelings for Master?" Alice asked.
Bea who didn't expect her little sister to find out her secret was at a loss for words. She was trying to hide her feelings because of the event that happened yesterday. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
However, hid as much as she wanted, it still came to the surface in front of Alice.
"Tell me what happened"…
"You little girl, you are thinking too much. I told you nothing happened. It's just that I'm a little stressed these days. As I thought I needed to play with the prisoners more to relieve myself"
Not wanting to explain any further, Bea walked ahead.
Looking at her back profile, Alice who noticed how heartbroken she looked, couldn't help but sigh. Love for their Master was a sentiment they all shared. However, in their case it was more of an adoration and faith than anything else.
It was nothing like how Bea felt. She could understand some of her emotions and what she was going through. Nevertheless, it was at the end their master's choice.
Emotions and feelings for others cannot be forced, one can only nurture it slowly.

Bea, Alice and the other stood in front of the newly established storage quarters near the training grounds. The storage quarters was a huge building as big as a football stadium and used to temporarily store items and treasures looted from the intruders.
There were tens of thousands of items carefully organised and stored inside the building. In fact, storing and organising these items turned out to be a much bigger task and opened up the position of a treasure keeper.
As the dungeon grows stronger and faces more enemies in the future, the position will surely attract more attention. For now, the orcs were ordered to handle the storing and organising of the items.
ZAP~ Space twisted and with a beam of light that fell from the ceiling and together with it, the master of the dungeon and his maid appeared in front of everyone.
"Hm? It looks like everyone is gathered here. I hope I did not make you wait for long?" Simon spoke with high spirits.
He looked at the Valkyries standing in front before shifting his eyes towards the orcs.
The one in charge of guarding this place was Berisol. An orc who had evolved into the Rimeblood Tribe and was one of the beings he used to test the powers of the newly evolved orcs back when he went to the previous harpy's territory to fight the subordinates of the Ogre King and Ivory Teraquake Rhino.
After that ocassion he understood the strength of this orc very well and decided to have him guard the storage quarters for the time being.
Noticing Simon's gaze on them, all the orcs fell on their knees, their eyes reverent and feverish. It was as if they were looking not at their master but a god.
