Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Thrice

After being released into the world after a thousand years of being chained and trapped inside a gothic castle, Kuno remembered that couldn’t go out into the sun without burning her skin, she couldn’t enter into someone’s home without their express invitation, and she couldn’t stand the sight of garlic. The only thing she needed was an insatiable need for blood, then she’d be the textbook definition of a Vampire. "Master, we’re going out for a walk!" Fudge said, while being hugged by Kuno. Kuno was in full gear: a long sleeved shirt, long pants, socks, closed shoes, a giant wide - brimmed hat, and even a mask to cover half her face. And if that wasn’t enough, she was carrying the biggest umbrella that Michael had ever seen before. "This place is so interesting," Kuno said, looking around the bustling streets of the Nation of Reborn. "Even if I’m afraid of the sun, I can’t wait until nighttime to explore!" Seeing her excited expression, he couldn’t really deny her wish. He just hoped that it wasn’t Fudge who would be guiding her. After all, the little slime had a tendency of influencing people into becoming troublemakers with him. Unfortunately the Dragonborns were busy training, with Sheina pushing her siblings to awaken their Aubilities as fast as possible. There were some other people that could become Kuno’s guide, but since she was more comfortable with Fudge, then it would be better if he led the way. He was planning on having somebody else keep Fudge in check, but he knew that it would be useless. Maybe an innocent Rebornian would also become influenced by Fudge. "Just don’t cause too much trouble, okay?" he asked them. "Yes, Master! We’re just going to go around the Nation of Reborn, nothing special." Kuno nodded with him. For some reason, he doubted that. But either way, he couldn’t come with them because he was also busy doing his own thing. So while Kuno and Fudge went on their tour, he busied himself with all the things he had to take care of. First and foremost, was his own cultivation. Although it had only been three months tops after his advancement to the 4th stage of Body Formation, he felt like it had been ages since he had broken through. With strong competition like the Major Factions, he knew that he could always use more power. But the problem, of course, was his GodForge pieces. For some reason, he was the only one among them who needed a lot of GodForge pieces. And by a lot, he meant three times more! A normal Maugnetic would only need 5 kilograms of GodForge pieces in order to advance to the 5th stage of Body Formation. But for him, it would take him a whopping 15 kilograms! If he wanted to buy it using Sand Dollars, then it would cost him 150,000 in total! And it would only continue to go up as he advanced through the Body Formation stages. This was why he hadn’t spent a single Sand Dollar purchasing GodForge pieces. He almost shuddered at the thought of spending that much just to achieve the same advancement as others. But I shouldn’t complain. The large requirement for GodForge probably contributes to the fact that I have a much stronger power than other Maugnetics. As shown in the auction, he could defeat Maugnetics three to four stages above his own. So all in all, spending three times as much as other people was still worth it. Still, I don’t want to pay that much every time I want to advance. My only choice is to try and find more discoveries like the one in the Red Ravine. Thanks to Fudge, he did obtain the 15 kilograms he needed to advance. But he’d have to find 18 more kilograms if he wanted to advance to the 6th stage after that.
