Chapter 438: Ultimate Chop-E
(1 hour later, Elmlot mountain range, overlooking the Hollow Kingdom.)
Rael was sitting on a mountain, overlooking the Hollow Kingdom, but at the same time, he was checking out the rewards he had gotten from killing the two elite monsters earlier.
<(x2) Grade 3~4 Monsters Killed! Experience: +69,109,877,972>
<+34 Premium Coins Acquired> Googlᴇ search Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
<+92 Supreme Beast’s Strength>
<+80 Calamity Agility>
<+188 Fallen God’s Constitution>
<+44 Draconic Intelligence>
<+52 Archangel’s Wisdom>
Killing two of them is equivalent to killing nearly 100 Grade 2–3 monsters. Yeah… I should do this more often, Rael thought with a smile and turned his attention back toward the Hollow Kingdom in the distance.
“You should know I don’t do prayers before battle,” Melina remarked out of nowhere.
“Neither do I. I’m just trying to figure something out,” Rael replied cryptically. “I can sense things from far away, so I’m trying to scan the entire kingdom for any threats. But aside from the Grade 5, and a few Grade 4’s there is no one.”
Melina tilted her head. “And how is that a bad thing?”
“Because it’s the Hollow Kingdom,” Rael replied, rolling his eyes. “No offense, but a kingdom naming itself after the Hollow King and then not having many strong fighters is a very big red flag.”
At most, he could feel ten Grade 3 fighters, two Grade 4 fighters, and a single Grade 5.
In the grand scheme of things, it was way too little.
Especially since they turn into lifeless puppets after death and retain their power, Rael thought, furrowing his brows. My senses might be getting messed with somehow, so I’ll just assume there are at least two Grade 5s, and at least ten Grade 4s.
So with that in mind, he nodded at Melina.
“Are you sure you don’t want to call your fleet? I can make a giant river on the continent that they could sail through,” Rael offered.
Melina shook her head. “There’s no need for that. My fellow pirates aren’t powerful, but they are cunning. In a head-on battle , cunningness would only get them killed.”
“I see… Well, how about this then?” Rael replied, a massive smirk appearing on his face as he decided to do something he hadn’t done in a while.
And that was none other than crafting.
However, unlike the previous time when he had created millions of summons, Rael decided to stick with only one.
And of course, he would pay tribute to one of his construct as well.
The moment the last of the pop-ups fell, a bluish-white construct appeared in front of him. It had a completely white core swirling around in place of its heart, and it was obviously the Plasma Core.
I didn’t even need to use any mana to create it, nor did I feel any energy leave my body. It looks like it just spawned out of nowhere, Rael mused. Can’t say I dislike freebies though. Keep them coming.
Unlike the Chop-E he had made for the first time ever, he gave this one a bit more love and care, making sure to boost its stats as much as he could.
While Chop-E had its eyes closed, Rael decided to inspect it, and as expected, he wasn’t left disappointed.

Your sharpness, damage, and proficiency with the sword are increased by +3,000%.
Really now… He’s a powerhouse, Rael thought, rubbing his forehead. Though his HP is a little low, and he doesn’t really have a sword…
But of course, such things were easily fixable, though he would do that slightly later.
After all, crafting Ultimate Chop-E had pretty much cost him most of his MTP. If he were to use any more, then he would bite into his money.
And I barely have any of that to begin with…
•—Balance: 348 Premium Coins—•
Therefore, Rael would hold back on big spending until he had at least a few thousand Premium Coins, and as for crafting, he would wait for his MTP to regenerate.
“I really wish I could give you a better body, but there’s nothing to use my Puppetry skill on,” Rael said with a sigh. “Unless you want your body to be made out of stones? That sounds interesting, no?”
Chop-E slowly opened his eyes, revealing beautiful crimson gems with faint blue dots scattered around, almost like stars.
He moved his arms around, adjusting to the body before finally giving Rael a curt bow.
“Greetings, Master,” Chop-E said. “I don’t require luxurious bodies to be able to serve you however you please.”
“Hmm… Yeah, I can’t get used to this.” Rael shook his head, then snapped his fingers. “Don’t act so formally with me. I don’t really like it when my constructs treat me like their lord and savior, so just imagine I am your friend or something. My name’s Rael.”
“Very well, Rael,” Chop-E corrected himself. “Could I get a sword?”
“About that…” Rael scratched his cheek. “You see, I’m a little broke at the moment, but—”
“Here,” Melina chimed in from the side, tossing the black katana over to Chop-E.
Chop-E seemed confused by her actions, and so did Rael. Even so, he caught the katana and held it firmly.
After a few moments of staring at it in awe, Chop-E took a deep breath before suddenly swinging the katana at the mountain peak beside them.
To all of their surprise, Chop-E split the mountain in two with an invisible slash that seemed to travel beyond the mountain peak as it hit the sky, tearing it open.
Lightning began to descend from the crack, striking the mountain and destroying it further.
And when a massive crater had formed in place of the mountain, that was when the crack in the sky closed up, stopping the lightning from spewing down further.
Or so he thought, but a bright flash of light soon appeared in place of the crack and began pouring down extremely sharp glass shards which, upon making contact with the terrain, embedded themselves deep inside it.
But like before, the effect only lasted a few seconds before finally vanishing just like the crack had.
Chop-E whistled inwardly, and right as he was about to swing the katana again, Rael gently placed his hand over the blade, lowering it.
“H-How about you save your strength for later, yeah?”
