431 A Big Assortment Of Magical Ores
The walls in front of me crumbled, alongside a bit of the ceiling, oh right, and below me the earth shattered by a tiny bit, nothing too lethal as to fall down somewhere else, but it was still rather crazy!
When things ended, I found all the dwarves looking at me with eyes and mouths wide open, while Lucifer and Emeraldine were facepalming. Partner was the only one cheering for me.
"Missy you might be a tad bit too strong!"
"Wow, that's nuts! Did you guys just saw what she just did there?!"
"She's stronger than us?!"
"What's your Attack Stat?" Wondered Helga, sighing a bit.
"My Attack Stat? Erm… well, it is 17000 when I equip the Pickaxe." I said.
"17000?!" Helga and everybody else was, once more, completely shocked.
"I am the one with the highest Attack Stat here and I only have 4500!" Cried Helga. "By the Gods, girl! You're STRONG!"
Stats in this world make a big difference in a person's performance. Apparently someone with just 15000 Attack Stat is not just three times as strong as someone with 5000 Attack, usually Stats are multiplicative, so the more you have, the more immense a difference is. Someone already with just 1k Attack higher than you can do way more, difference in stats sometimes are quite… well, devastating.
"W-Well, I guess I am quite strong physically now… I used to be very weak, and compared to Lucifer, Emeraldine, and Partner, I am still weaker I believe." I said.
"I only have 12000 Attack as of now, so you're strong, Maria." Emeraldine said with a gentle smile.
"This thin elf has 12k ATTACK?!" Helga cried in shock. "You said you didn't had the physique for this but you sure do!"
"A-Ahahaha… I just don't want to mine." Emeraldine crossed her arms and seemed to not be interested at all on mining.
"How much attack does the dragon have?" Asked one of the dwarves.
"Oof, certainly over 40k." I said.
All the dwarves suddenly threw off saliva from their mouths in utter disbelief, looking at the simple and slender figure of Lucifer.
"I am more of an attack specialist while Maria is a magic specialist, so my magic is quite low like her attack. Maria, tell them how much Magic power you have." He said.
"Just do it." He said.
"Errr…. Well, I have 132000 Magic." I said while seemingly feeling a bit shy about it.
"Are you S Class Adventurers, missy?!"
"Damn, we got the powerhouses in our team…"
"Are we going to get famous soon?"
"You guys calm down! I already kind of knew they were this powerful, after all the old hag gave them the request of exploring the old Dungeon that was sealed some time ago, they're very, very strong! Hehe, they even said they defeated multiple Vampires." Helga said, as if she were prideful of our accomplishments.
"Those scrawny guys that are overpowered?"
"Okay, okay, let's not reveal anything else, Helga, this information is not yours…" I sighed, petting her head.
"R-Right, sorry…" She apologized.
After the dwarves calmed down, they quickly resumed what they were doing, Helga included, after all whatever I mined was considered my part, so they were not going to take it away. I decided to clean everything using my Inventory space, storing the rocks that crumbled apart and then through the power of the Inventory, I dismantled the rocks and separated them from mere stone to the ores. I ended getting a good harvest by a single swipe of my pickaxe!
[Common Black Stone (F Grade)]
A hard stone containing a lot of nutrients and salt within it. It can be broken down and washed to create Black Salt, which is often used in Dwarven cuisine. It is an incredibly hard stone, harder than normal stone. And it is often used for making bricks and even stone golems.
Wow, even these black stones are valuable! What the heck?
[Gray Iron Ore (E Grade)]
A common mineral that grows within the interior of mountains, its gray color is indicative of its greater defensive power compared to normal Iron Ore. It possess a good affinity with magic, and it is often used as the base for creating Magic Items, Weapons, Accessories, or Armor.
[Yellow Bronze (E Grade)]
Often called "false gold", it is a strong and resilient ore that doesn't bend as easily as other ores of more precious values such as gold and silver. It has a golden color that is often used as decoration for weapons, armor, or even jewelry. It has a good affinity with magic and the element of lightning and light.
[Flare Ruby (D Grade)]
A low-quality Magic Jewel possessing the element of Fire within itself. Its bright color is already a good indication that this jewel possess such a strong, blazing element. Often used to craft special Magic Items that can enhance Fire Magicians power or used for Magic Items that can give better convenience, such as starting fires or warming up food. It is a cheaper version of the more expensive Fire Spirit Stones, it gets most of the simple jobs done, but once its power runs out, it turns gray colored and shatters easily.
A mud-like stone that once covered in water quickly turns into a gum-like material that can be easily used to stick things together, often used to construct houses and stick bricks together. Despite its low grade of rarity, it is a precious stone that is widely used for construction.
"Oooh! Look at this! Gray Iron Ore, Yellow Bronze, Flare Ruby, and Gumstone!" I said. "They're not the craziest ones but they're certainly interesting. Maybe I can use them to make stuff…"
"Oh, Gumstone is a primary material to create Alchemic Clay!" Said Emeraldine.
"Alchemic Clay?" I asked.
"It is a special material that can only be created through Alchemy, with it, you can craft amazing weapons and armor!"
