After securing the Earth Core Flame, Emery returned to his room. The past twenty-four hours had been a torment for both his mind and body, and although his powerful physique had allowed him to endure the ordeal, he still needed time to properly recover from the strain.
As for the Earth Core Flame itself, precious as it was, Emery had no immediate use for it.
With the dwarf master already promising to refine it into an artifact, he decided to give the high-grade material to Soltz instead.
The Tier 8 core was exactly what the old man's Tier 7 gauntlet needed, giving the artfact a potent earth-elemental enhancement, something that would greatly benefit Soltz and provide an immediate, significant boost to their combined fighting strength and overall chances of survival.
"You are the best, Boss"
Soltz was ecstatic when Emery handed it over, his eyes practically lighting up as he already making plans to keep the dwarven masters busy for the next several days.
