Ding!
[The Scrap King Lair is being protected by a monstrous Scrap Beast!]
[The [Aberrant Giant Chimeric Scrap Kraken (Tier 9)] roars with fury!]
[Its very presence exudes an [Aura of Corrupted Electromagnetic Fields], weakening all magic by -50% by disrupting the Mana Flow of its surroundings!]
[Additionally, all Scrap Beasts within the Aura's range get their batteries fully charged, and their Movement Speed and Attack Speed further increases by +100%!]
"GROOOHHHH!"
The monstrous aberration groaned with a furious and metallic roar, as it slowly shapeshifted, revealing a thousand long, metallic tentacles with countless sharp jaws each. Additionally, they had thousands of small, blue led eyes spread through its body, which once they charged energy, released beams of hyper charged electricity against us.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
It wasn't even letting us get any closer, bombarding us the moment we appeared in front of it! The Aura it conjured wasn't helping either, weakening all magic and making it particularly hard to conjure it too.
However, somehow, that barely affected my Magic Skills though!
"ROOAARR!"
Around twenty buffed Scrap Beast rushed towards us. Aquarina smiled, quickly slashing through them with her daggers combined with her Aura. Another twelve Scrap Beast also appeared from behind, I greeted these myself, waving my hand as several vortexes of white flames erupted from the ground, engulfing them and melting their bodies into ponds of silver colored liquid.
Of course, this was my Skill Heavenly Blazing Wall, the evolution of blazing wall, which not only was powerful offensively, but also offered amazing defenses. Its power was not weakened at all either, as I thought, this aura only disrupted conventional magic. Magic Skills were unaffected.
"Now, let's see…!"
I conjured Heavenly Blazing Wall twenty times in a split second, fusing them into a massive spiraling vortex of white and golden flames, which then erupted upwards, taking every scrap beast around. The, I directed it even more upwards, shaping its form at the same time as the Kraken scrap beast's tentacles and beams grew closer.
"And then let's add… Meteor Novas!"
I added ten Meteor Novas into the massive and ridiculous spell I was making, everything condensed itself into a gigantic, boiling sphere of white flames and lava. So strong it generated a powerful pressure around. And it only became larger the more Mana it absorbed.
"Ohohoh! Aquarina, move aside! There's a big one coming up!"
"WHAT THE…?!"
Aquarina quickly ran away as I launched the spell after making sure she moved away enough, the giant sphere instantly melted anything it touched, landing on the Kraken's metallic body and immediately destroying half of its 150-meter-tall body with a huge, blazing explosion.
BOOOM!
"GRYYYEEEGGHHH…!"
The beast groaned in pure agony, its metallic scream reverberated very loudly, and rather annoyingly so. Its body was melting rapidly, golden and white flames spread everywhere. I stepped back in utter shock at realizing how strong I could truly become if I just played with my spells and near endless mana.
I couldn't do this much before I think, but after I gained so much resistance to soul pressure and soul damage from overusing Mana, the possibilities were finally becoming a bit more endless than before.
"I-Is it dead?" Aquarina gasped as she saw the giant "boss", a Tier 9 Monster mind you, slowly dying in agony.
And then… It stopped struggling and simply melted into a giant pond of molten metal.
"You killed it with a single super powerful spell! Holy shit Sylphy you're insane!" Laughed Aquarina.
"A-Ahahah… Oh well!" I said. "It wasn't the scrap king, so it doesn't count! If this was Tier 9, then the king is tier 10, huh? Going to be a bit harder I suppose…"
"A bit harder? I could just sit down and relax next time." Aquarina gave me a head pat. "I love how overpowered my girlfriend is!"
"You're overpraising me~"
I simply laughed it off and shrugged, quickly absorbing all the leftover metal I could find, and as I had thought before, simply trying to move it through my skin into the blood vessels as I absorbed it.
It seemed to work really quickly and easily too!
"Hmm! Nice." I smiled, feeling my blood grow even thicker and become… tougher? I gained a lot of weight suddenly, and my Aura erupted from my body with a silver and golden metallic sheen. "Oooh…"
Ding!

Hell yeah, let's go! I can finally manipulate my own metallic blood! Well, I think maybe blood magic could do something similar, right? But I never specialized, so this is much easier for the lazy me.
"Looks like you got stronger for sure now, since when can you just absorb metals?" Aquarina asked in surprise.
"I got a new Skill out of a Skill Scroll from Sphynxiette, so my blood could one day become like hers if I keep cultivating it." I smiled.
"WHAT?! For real?!" Aquarina muttered. "Holy shit Sylphy!"
"And that's not all, I got a new skill from my metallurgy skill tree named Full Metal Body, it allows to reinforce and cultivate my body by absorbing metals. So both skills go really good together and can complement each other to make them grow super-fast." I smiled. "Truly a cheat!"
"You're the biggest cheater of this game, without a doubt!" Aquarina just laughed merrily. I loved seeing her happy. I guess the ridiculous situation only made her giggle. "Nice, looks like I got myself some good levels at least!"
