I like them big, do you?

Chapter 66: Two statues

"What will you prepare?" Lioness asked with her eyes ahead on the grassland.

The hero and the tank had been fighting here after their rest, and they were doing great as expected.

Reylin's black staff lent its mana, and Lioness was on guard for their mage.

Her eyes shifted to Reylin, who took out the ore, "I have Flame Artist Class."

His flames burst out of his palm, and it began licking the whole ore. Seeing how the iron ore melted under the ravenous fire, Lioness' eyes widened, and she looked at the skill with her interest piqued.

Reylin got a rough iron, "Since you shared your adventurer class, I will do the same."

"No. I am genuinely interested in what you can create out of it," Aria explained her emotions rippling in her eyes, "I guess you don't have any limitations, and you can work with any ore from the get-go."

"Oh? Your impression of me has raised to this level already? You know my fire well." Reylin's self-complacent smile irritated Lioness, and she grasped his hair.

She said, "Your flames made the bonfire up for the whole month. You also blew my entire army with those fireballs.

I would have looked down on you if you couldn't process every ore from the beginning."

"We aim for a high standard. Well, to answer your question. We have to deal with the noble's resistance toward the taunt. I have an idea for that, so you can look forward to it.

The other is to steal their warmth. This is how we will draw the noble out and make his whole army give up on him.

I refuse to believe he had sent his whole army when we fought them for the first time."

"That's just obvious," Lioness scoffed.

After the iron appeared, Reylin's Flame Artist Class followed his wish.

His flames became more precise, and they were like a brush that melted the iron!

The Flame Artist carefully controlled his flames while giving meaning to his creation. His flames didn't disappoint Reylin and his artistic soul, then they slowly and shyly disappeared out of the world.

Reylin looked at his creation and chuckled, "I thought of creating a lioness, but I have one next to me. This is The Flame Devouring Dog."

"Would a person without any artistic skills be able to create it? You haven't followed any system guidelines, have you?" Lioness asked while looking at the dog.

It was a small statue that took Reylin's palm.

However, the statue represented the dangerous beast! The dog gave off a natural threatening aura, and one could tell it spat out flames due to the fire escaping both sides of its wide mouth...

If one stared for too long into its eyes, one would think it was a living beast!

Reylin smiled, "I don't care about others. Still, I can tell you that I could only create Crown Rings at first. My skills and flames keep advancing as I use them, so I expected good results today.

What I didn't expect was that I would succeed on the first try."

"Good job, then," Lioness replied.

Inwardly, she was pretty relieved that Reylin wasn't a total monster in the game. That also led her to another thought, "How many complaints do you receive daily, I wonder? The company behind this game must be fed up with your name."

"Am I the only one with unique skills?" Reylin chuckled.

Since he was on a good streak, he decided to quickly make the second item. He put the iron dog into his inventory, then took out one ore and thing.

The item piqued Lioness' interest on the spot.

That was because it was The Red Eye Amulet.

That was the item Reylin had received from the dark matter waves.

It was a fantastic item that could taunt many enemies. Reylin estimated it would even be able to taunt the boss around level sixty, but his goal was to use a little of that item for his creation.

Since it could taunt such strong enemies, a little of it should be enough for the noble.

Reylin also had a strong belief in his Flame Artist Class. A little of its flames should make a perfect one-use item against Master Natan.

He looked at the amulet.

Its design was quite simple, but it gave off a more menacing aura than Reylin's Iron Dog.

In short, it was a red gem that was shaped after an eye sealed in the black frame...

Reylin cut a little of the red game, "Fuck... The normal knife won't work..."

His knife shattered quickly, but Lioness was here to assist him. She pointed her tip at the item and slipped her sword in...

She exerted a lot of her strength to take out a small part, then cursed, "It has to be some unique item from the boss. Fuck, I want a bath."

"Then go and take one. I don't need any guard, to begin with," Reylin shrugged after thanking Lioness for her help.

He then melted the broken part and joined it with the ore he had stolen from the Northern Rivers Bank.

Lioness cut in, "I will wait for your creation, then go ahead." She was highly interested in the second creation.

"Sure," Reylin replied, his eyes on the blending gems.

After the same process, Reylin's second creation came out.

It was an old man.

However, Aria recognized that face.

It was Reylin's grandpa!

"Grandpa always had that presence... He always wore a crown, and no one questioned him nor his requests," Reylin faintly smiled while looking at the statue.

That grandpa died when Reylin was ten. On rare occasions, Reylin would face him during his childhood.

Grandpa was relatively mild for Reylin, but that presence never faded, even on the death bed.

"You brothers like to slip in the crown references," Aria smiled widely, "I hope your grandpa's statue will work. It will hurt his name should it not work."

"If grandpa's statue won't influence that cheap noble, I will burn the whole company's business. That's when they will be fed up with me," Reylin said in a lower tone, his eyes letting out a sharp glitter.

Seeing his face, Aria's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded in silence.
