Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 34 - 34- Armory (2)

After passing through the warp gate Simon found himself back on the ninth floor of his dungeon. "This warp gate is very useful and if I'm correct it should be a form of space magic," he said as he looked at the slowly disappearing warp gate.

The warp gate was able to traverse a huge amount of distance and was able to bring him from his dungeon to the castle of Avernus located at the far end of the Demon continent. The magic was definitely a top-tier magic and Simon could only hope to achieve the magic of this caliber someday. He wondered what kind of power and wealth one needed to create the many warp portals for all the demons to attend the banquet.

'Demon Archduke what kind of a realm was it... not to mention the Demon Lords that are above them' Simon wondered as he blankly stared at the ceiling of his dungeon. This trip to the Walpurgis had clearly shown him his current position in the demon hierarchy and re-ignited his convictions to get stronger. Other than a sense of urgency to get stronger, he also felt ecstasy that originated from his bloodline whenever he thought about increasing his rank. If he wanted to survive he has no other choice but to rank up so that demons like Gelgar can't step all over him.

Thinking about the conversation back then brought the rage he suppressed back then. He was aware that an egotistical man like Gelgar would not leave things be like that and would retaliate sooner or later.

Simon was not afraid of fighting Gelgar but the same could not be said for his dungeon. If on the off chance the dungeon core got destroyed it was the same as him dying. After the dungeon is created, it can never be moved. For that reason, he and his dungeon must grow and rank up alongside. After pondering for a while Simon finally thought of a way of increasing his strength without leveling up. The method he came up with was none other than to use weapons. Weapons can temporarily boost his strength and the various skills that it bestows would allow him to fight opponents many times stronger than him and having such weapons would be useful in crucial moments.

Right now he had lots of [C] rank weapons that he had drawn from the [Gacha]. He had seen how uncommon a [C] rank weapon was during the auction, where even the high-ranking demons like demon earl were frantically bidding for it. Unlike those demons, Simon had a ton of those items stored in his inventory. But what he wanted was not a mere [C] rank weapon that is sold in the auction instead, he wanted something even higher. Now that he knows how strong a [B] rank subordinate can be, he wanted nothing less than a [B] rank weapon. His appetite had increased but since he knew that his future path would be full of peril he couldn't be satisfied with anything less than that.

However, getting a [B] or a higher rank weapon was not easy. It could be seen from the results of his gacha, even after continuously drawing it every day other than the Bloodthorn Demonic Warhorse he had not gotten a single [B] rank. Forget about getting something higher, even getting a [B] rank was a tall order unless he had more DP than can he spend on the gacha. But Simon was not disappointed because he did get something that would help him get a higher rank weapon. He quickly opened his [Main Menu] and pressed on the [Armory] option.

When he was developing the game in his previous life, he was aware of the rarity of getting a high-rank weapon from the [Gacha]. For that reason, Simon added another feature called [Armory] that players could use to refine their lower rank weapons into something stronger and possibly even upgrade their ranks in the process. After reincarnating into this world, today would be his first time using this option to refine a weapon of his choice.

Armory had two options [Refine] and [Upgrade]. Refinement uses a material called Amegdite crystals to increase the strength of the weapon, thus increasing its refinement level. The Weapons can be refined a total of 5 times but after each successful refinement, the amount of material that is Amegdite crystals required increases. Amegdite crystals weren't a rare item and can easily be drawn from [Gacha]. The crystal looked just like an ordinary ash grey crystal with no other features to speak of. It had no other uses other than refining weapons and as of now, Simon had accumulated quite a bit of it after drawing gacha for more than a month.

A refined weapon is stronger than a weapon of the same class and can even output attacks a tier above its actual class. If a [C] tier weapon is refined till its max refinement, it would be able to match a [B] tier weapon.

However, a [C] tier weapon no matter how many times it is refined, will always remain a [C] tier weapon and the skill it bestows would never be able to match what a [B] tier weapon can grant.. And that was the reason why Simon did not want to use a refined [C] tier weapon when he could use the [Upgrade] option to get himself a higher rank weapon.
