Chapter 83: The Crystal Refinement (2)
Hex felt the chaotic energy enter his body. Having experienced it once, he was more attuned to the energy.
The Demon crystals were smaller and had rougher edges compared to the Fiend crystals. The clerk had given Hex five Demon crystals and three Fiend crystals. Hex started again with the Demon crystals.
The chaotic energy was volatile but thanks to the world stone in his chest, Hex converted the energy quickly into a form his body could handle. After an half hour, Hex put the crystal aside.
'The last time I spent an hour refining a Demon crystal and its quality improved to C - grade quality. I assume a half hour is good for an E or even D grade. I should only refine two out of five to a C grade.'
Hex wasn't a fan of wasting energy but he also didn't wish others to know about his true capabilities, especially not the Temple of the Heavens. According to the baron, the Heavens would do everything to destroy him.
Hex didn't pause after putting the first crystal aside. He immediately picked the second Demon crystal and started to refine it.
As more energy coursed inside him, he started to sense it being absorbed by his body. But to his dismay, the absorption was very slow.
'At this rate, it will take at least two weeks instead of two days to saturate my body,' Hex thought.
After pondering a bit, he decided to finish refining as much as his body could hold. Only then would he focus on the absorption part. He refined the second and third crystals, spending an hour on each.
