"Flesh Armament" increases along with the user's body strength, and special skills of the same type can be restored with healing magic even if they are damaged.
This is the most obvious advantage of this skill!
Especially the "Degraded Flesh Armament" that Minori possesses. Although its defensive ability is only half of Minori's own value, it breaks through the irreplaceable situation.
This skill, in Minori's hands, has become a full-body armor that can be summoned at any time.
It's just that the defense level is a bit too low.
Minori originally only regarded this skill as a means of concealing his identity. However, after seeing the gray dwarf race possessing damaged armor with four highest-level Rune words, an uncontrollable thought suddenly arose in his mind!
What would happen if these four Rune words were engraved on his "Flesh Full-Body Armor"?
As soon as this idea appeared, Minori couldn't help but want to experiment, which led to the situation before him.
Facing this group of dwarven artisans who were still a little dazed.
"That's right, everyone, it's using this armor that can automatically repair itself to replace the higher-level metal you require."
Minori spoke again, his tone serious:
"You need higher-level metal, simply because ordinary metal cannot withstand the power of the four high-level Rune words."
"And this full-body armor on me may not be comparable to the higher-level metal you mentioned, but it has the ability to automatically repair itself."
"Even if the armor is damaged during the engraving process, it can be repaired to continuously ensure that the armor can withstand the power of the Rune words."
The so-called "unable to withstand the power" and the appearance of damage, in Minori's eyes, is nothing more than a decrease in the durability of the Flesh Armament.
This kind of damage can be easily restored through healing methods.
"Is that possible?"
"How could I possibly know."
"I completely don't understand what this human is thinking."
"Why does it feel a little crazy."
"Hiss, did anyone see how this armor appeared? It's like it appeared out of thin air."
"It can actually be repaired, what an amazing ability. Shouldn't this human in front of me be a magic chanter? Why is he wearing armor?"
"...!"
Sounds of low discussion came from the surrounding dwarf crowd.
All the dwarven artisans were a little dazed; whether it was engraving the highest-level Rune words, or this completely unreasonable method in front of them, both made this group of artisans feel at a loss.
Wiggling ~
A dwarf with three pigtail beards squeezed up from behind, panting and staring at the full-body armor on Minori; it was the dwarf Gondo.
"You humans always come up with strange ideas."
Gondo couldn't help but walk forward, blowing his beard excitedly, his bright eyes carefully examining the gray armor:
"The surface of this armor has a metallic luster, but it's not actually metal, right."
"It's a special material that I've never seen before, and it can actually be repaired, it's really beyond imagination, is it magic."
After a brief observation, Gondo suddenly raised his head, looking at Minori whose face was covered by the helmet: "I think your idea is great!"
As soon as he finished speaking!
Gondo turned around and looked at the other dwarven artisans around him, and said excitedly: "Are you really planning to let our dwarven technology be lost!"
"Isn't this a great opportunity right in front of us."
"I've always called myself a "Rune Technology Development Expert", although so far there hasn't been any progress, neither shortening the time of demonization nor increasing production."
"But these are just means, the ultimate goal I'm pursuing is to find technology that is indispensable for Runes, so that Rune technology can become special, so that it can be completely inherited."
"Now there is such an opportunity in front of us, are you still planning to give up such an opportunity!"
Gondo clenched his fists with both hands, looking at all the dwarves with excited emotions, his rough voice resounded through the mountain walls.
The dwarven artisans looked at Gondo blankly.
"Really, we didn't say we wouldn't do it."
"Gondo! You're too excited."
"...!"
Voices came from the dwarves.
The next moment, a dwarven artisan who looked older walked out of the crowd, passed the excited Gondo, and came to Minori.
"Human adult, there is something I still want to confirm, can your armor be taken off?" The dwarven artisan said.
"No."
Minori quietly watched this scene and shook his head.
"Then this is a bit troublesome. Even if the material problem is solved, extremely high temperatures will be generated during the engraving process, which is far beyond what ordinary people can withstand."
While speaking, the dwarven artisan took out a fist-sized ore with red patterns.
"This is a metal called heat ore. As long as it is hit with a hard object, it will generate high temperatures. This temperature can easily melt steel."
"If it collides for a long time, the temperature will be even higher. This is also an important way for our dwarven race to forge weapons."
Since the dwarves live underground, they cannot use similar items such as coal and firewood to forge metals.
The meaning of this dwarven artisan is obvious. If Minori wears armor for engraving, they will generate extremely high temperatures during the use of heat ore, which humans simply cannot withstand.
"If it's this problem, then you don't have to worry, I have a way to resist high temperatures." Minori smiled when he heard this.
Heat ore can forge metal, so the high temperature generated is at least above 1500 degrees. If metals such as mithril and orichalcum are smelted, the temperature generated may be even higher.
However!
With the ability of "Fire Attribute Nullification", such high temperatures have no effect on Minori at all.
"Then everyone, let's start together."
The Minister of Forging, who was standing aside, stepped forward at this time.
All the dwarven artisans looked at each other, and at the same time divided into four waves, located in front of Minori, behind him, and on the left and right sides, in four directions.
These are the locations where the four high-level Rune words need to be engraved!
"Four high-level Rune words need to be engraved at the same time, and there cannot be a single mistake in the process."
The Minister of Forging spoke loudly, giving instructions and explanations, making all the dwarven artisans show serious and expectant expressions.
Suddenly!
Several dwarven artisans moved at the same time.
Ding ding!
Dang dang!
Strange tools simultaneously struck the "Flesh Armament" heavily, and the high temperature released by the heat ore also began to burn the surface of the armor red.
Minori sat cross-legged on the ground, allowing these dwarven artisans to knock on his body, and took a deep breath.
He didn't know if it would succeed, but facing the Great Tomb of Nazarick that would descend in the future, he had to try all possibilities.
He glanced at the information of "Flesh Armament":
...
Skill: Degraded Flesh Armament
Level: Lower (11~20)
Durability: 287
Physical Defense: 140
Magic Defense: 147
Effect: None
Introduction: None
...
Rune words do not look complicated on the surface, like strange-looking symbols, but that is just the surface phenomenon.
In fact, each Rune word has special and complex magic patterns. The higher the level of the word, the more complex and cumbersome the pattern.
Therefore, it takes more time to create a Rune equipment, rather than simply enchanting it.
Days passed.
Minori had been sitting in the same place, allowing these dwarven artisans to take turns engraving Rune words on his body.
Food and drinks had already been prepared in abundance. These dwarven artisans did not need to worry about food at all, and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the exhilarating mood of replicating high-level Rune equipment.
Minori was much more depressed.
Maintaining one action for a long time was already a very painful thing, not to mention that he needed to pay attention to the decrease in durability at all times and restore it from time to time.
As for eating, it was not a problem.
The helmet of the full-body armor looked closed, but the mask part could be opened. However, in order to prevent unnecessary behavior, Minori basically only drank some water.
Fortunately, he had reached the level of "Hero", and his physique had improved a lot, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to endure it.
This state continued until the tenth day.
Mid-Earth Month, November 28th.
Lava Zone.
All the dwarven artisans were exhausted and lying on the ground, breathing heavily, but their faces were filled with excited expressions.
"It's a success!"
"This incredible thing has actually been accomplished."
"So tired, I want to sleep!"
"...!"
The Minister of Forging supported the ground with his arms, his face full of exhaustion, his eyes full of bloodshot, staring at the full-body armor on Minori.
"This great, masterpiece, can, can actually reappear in this world." The Minister of Forging shouted excitedly and neurotically.
Crack!
"It's finally done."
Minori got up and spoke lightly, swinging his arms and legs to stretch his body, and the full-body armor rubbed and made a "creaking" sound.
He originally had the idea of failure, but he didn't expect it to actually come out. He was indeed a little excited, but not much excited.
For ten consecutive days, this excited emotion had long been diluted.
Minori lowered his head and checked the full-body armor transformed by "Flesh Armament". Overall, there was no change from before, but there were four more Rune words.
It didn't look conspicuous, and there was no special energy reaction, but the information of "Flesh Armament" had changed significantly.
...
Skill: Rune Flesh Armament
Level: Lower (11~20)
Durability: 287
Physical Defense: 140
Magic Defense: 147
Effect: Rune Enhancement Blessing of Abundance - Can absorb the same type of substance, and continue to strengthen and improve.
Introduction: An unexpected product after strengthening with "Rune Technology" and "Degraded Flesh Armament".
...
The value did not increase at all, but an ability of "Blessing of Abundance" appeared in the effect.
Minori's spirit was shocked.
The introduction of the effect was not much, but it reminded him of the ballad that the Minister of Forging had mentioned in the Valley of Despair before.
The last two sentences are:
"The armor that devours ore is attached to the soul of the gray dwarf."
"That is the greatness that even the ancient dragon pays attention to."
The reason why that armor was called a failed work was because the ore used to make the armor was very rare.
As a result, the armor could not be improved by devouring ore from the moment it was made.
Minori speculated at the time that the ability to fuse the four highest-level words may be related to "absorption" and "enhancement", and now he is even more certain of this.
"'Absorb the same type of substance' to strengthen."
Minori muttered these words in his heart, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, and the situation was indeed not much different from what he had speculated.
Armor made of special metal needs to absorb the same type of metal, and if it is a material like "Flesh Armament", then what is absorbed is naturally the same material as "Flesh Armament".
What is the material of "Flesh Armament"?
Skin, teeth, nails and other such substances.
"It's good to experiment."
Minori glanced at the dwarves who were tired and sleeping, and with a flash, he had entered the central area of the lava zone.
"Since this ability comes from you, then use your corpse." With a wave of Minori's hand, the corpse of the Forest Wise King Hamsuke appeared on the ground.
The surrounding scorching temperature immediately caused the hair on the corpse of the Forest Wise King Hamsuke to curl up, and a faint burnt smell permeated the air.
Minori stepped forward, raised his palm and pressed it on the corpse of the Forest Wise King Hamsuke, and silently recited in his heart: "Blessing of Abundance."
Swish!
The four Rune words on the gray full-body armor suddenly flashed with flowing colors, and then, with the position where Minori's palm contacted the Forest Wise King Hamsuke as the center, an invisible force was triggered.
Suddenly!
The fur of the Forest Wise King Hamsuke turned into a flowing liquid-like substance, and was quickly absorbed by the gray armor, not just the fur.
The 20-meter-long tail, hard teeth, one-meter-long claws, and even the bones were absorbed by the gray armor.
In just seconds the corpse of the Forest Wise King Hamsuke in front of Minori had turned into a pool of pure flesh and blood, spread on the ground, exuding a bloody aura.
And the original gray color of the full-body armor became more profound.
Retracted his palm.
Minori fell into a brief silence, closed his eyes and waited for a few seconds before reopening them.
"Jungle Acceleration!"
A emerald green light flashed on the whole body armor.
Minori moved quickly, flashing back and forth on the empty ground a few times, and then, his figure paused:
"Tail Strike!"
Wow!
At lightning speed, a 20-meter-long, arm-thick gray long whip protruded from the back of the whole body armor, and slammed into the air, making a muffled thunder-like explosion.
Hiss!
The thick long whip shook, and layers of blade-like sharp scales emerged from the surface, cutting the surrounding air and making a whirring sound.
Whoosh——
The 20-meter-long gray long whip was retracted back to the armour of the "Flesh Armament" and disappeared.
This is not a whip at all, it is simply the tail of the Forest Wise King Hamsuke.
...

Introduction: An unexpected product after strengthening with "Rune Technology" and "Degraded Flesh Armament".
...
The skill information has undergone a completely new change.
Not only did the value increase, but even these two skills were added, which were originally mastered by the Forest Wise King Hamsuke.
"Is it because of the level of "Flesh Armament" that I can only choose two skills? It seems that I can also erase the skills."
"Completely beyond expectations."
Minori looked at the Forest Wise King Hamsuke who only had a pool of flesh and blood left on the ground, and then looked at the information on the panel, his face full of astonishment.
