"Titan forest. We are in the Titan forest." Amelia said with a shaky voice.
I nodded with an understanding expression but inside, my thoughts were racing one to another.
Titan Forest as its name implies it, contains mana titans and mana titans were very hard for me to kill or even maybe escape from t.
Their mana quality and quantity didn't matter. Their greatest strength was their enormous body, which packed a lot of muscle. Even a 5th crystal knight had a hard time piercing their metal-like skin and injuring these colossal beings.
And to make matters worse, they are intelligent like humans and can use the mana in their body to strengthen their body like humans or cast magic.
So it would be best to not encounter any of the mana titans as it would be close to a death sentence for me.
Though I was sure that I did have some chance against the small mana titans about 15 meters tall instead of 25 meters or more.
"Do you have any crucial information about how we can get out of this place? And tell me the reason why you are here instead of Capital Elsiyara." I said coldly and lifted my head from Aria's thighs, then I sat in front of Amelia and directly looked into her eyes to prevent her from lying.
Amelia looked at me with no hope in her eyes and shook her head with a terrible tremble.
"Well, it can't be helped then. I will do my best to keep you alive as you are my goddess' believer and daughter of her bishop, but you have to do what I say. I don't want any spoiled acts or acting like a noble lady. You will work hard to keep yourself alive or else…" I said seriously without continuing my sentence and turned to Aria.
"Get up and prepare something to eat while I am working on this new artifact." I said and took out the unknown items in my storage artifact that I collected from time to time.
In my hand was a hard, transparent ball that I bought from the old powerhouse in the alchemy shop. It was scentless and it was impossible for me to break it but I thought that putting in an artifact while connecting with mana lines and runes would work wonders.
On my other hand was a normal-looking golden coin that was given to me by an old lady from the inn I stayed with Alicia. There was a word engraved on its face, 'fate'. I named it as fate coin.
After that, I took out a heavy dark armor, clearly too big for me to wear. I had taken this armor from the undead knight at the necromancer's house.
I decided to use these things to upgrade my [Silent Scream] which felt weak for me to use it.
I didn't know what would happen but I didn't care too much because my intuition didn't warn me about this, it just warned me about the inside of this cave. There was great danger there.
That is why I was rushing and taking a risk about making an artifact with unknown materials.
I removed the Silent Scream from my finger as it was in ring form then put it on the ground.
Then I transformed it a little to make some space for the transparent ball and made some lines in there. So that mana could access the transparent ball easily.
Next, I took the fate coin in my hand and showed it to Amelia.
"What is this? Is there some use for it?" I demanded coldly.
Amelia gulped loudly and brought her face closer to the fate coin. Her eyes immediately shined with excitement but she suppressed it quickly as she was scared of me and went back to her place.
"There is a string of fate in this coin, that wrapped itself around the coin. It gives me a freezing feeling and it is pale blue, almost gray. It feels like yours or maybe directly yours." She said without stopping even for a second and lowered her head.
I assumed she thought I would be mad at her for speaking too much. She had some history of being called crazy because of this fate thingy.
Well, it was a good time to tame her a little. Hence I got closer to her and lifted my hand.
Amelia quivered with fear but I just patted her head gently.
"Good, continue to be like this." I said coldly and went back to making the artifact.
'If there is a string of fate around it that resembles mine, then it might be better to use it carefully.' I thought and cut the middle of the coin, making it like a ring.
Then I wrapped the Silent Scream around it and made some mana lines to connect it to Silent Scream and the transparent ball.
After this, I cut the undead's dark armor into a crown-like shape and put it on the ring. Then I placed the transparent ball into this crown like metal and bent the metal to hold the ball.
Next, I connected every piece, making a dark ring with a golden line in the middle of it. There was an eerie dark metal that spread the aura of undead and on top of this dark metal was a transparent ball that shone in the light.
'Should I inscribe some runes to add a new enchantment?' I thought while inspecting the ring but shook my head.
I didn't have too much time and inscribing a new enchantment to Silent Scream required more professional touch than my amateur hands.
It had 3 enchantments already, and connecting these things with mana lines took my 5 hours, so there was no need.
I was sure that these magical items would show some effect on the Silent Scream because of their magical properties.
But I didn't understand what they gave to it, so I took out the Status Lenses from my storage artifact and wore them.
I activated the status lenses and I was sure that I would die from the shock if I did have my emotions.
