Legendary Traveler: By Earning Progress Points I will Become Supreme!-Chapter 269: Conductive Accumulator of Mystical Mana
"Nyfear dust 3 grams, two bones from a dreadstalker, half a liter of whytelilly extract, one unqur vein, 10 spent low-grade Energia Crystals, Tatium Ink infused with my blood…I think that's everything." Inspecting the items neatly laid out on his crafting table, Aoni scratched his chin and flipped the page of his tome.
"Inscribing the runes will be the only difficult part, but for starters, bathe the crystals in the whytelilly extract, then stir the solution with the Unqur vein until the Crystals turn purple."
Following the instructions, Aoni went step by step through the process using half his concentration. At the same time, the other half of his brain focused on memorizing the six runes he'd have to inscribe on the surface of the Accumulator.
In a sense, the item he was crafting resembled a battery pack back on Terra, wherein six or more batteries were linked together and bound with a non-conductive material; however, this one would have enough power to level a small town if it blew up, not start a fire or something weak like lithium-ion batteries.
---
Within 25 minutes, the materials were prepped, the crystals were bound and merged, and Aoni could be seen holding a scribing tool, *cross between an inkwell pen and a brush* as he carefully drew the desired runes in their proper locations.
One, two, three, finally, when he finished the sixth rune, it flashed with a faint light, indicating that it was time for Aoni to apply his signature Energia to the construct, binding it to himself and completing the process.
"AND Done,"
1: Low Tier Conductive Accumulator
Durability: Rankless (→)
Storage Space: 1000 units of Grade-1 Energia or 500 Units of Grade-2 Energia
Grade: Gradeless(→)
Effect: Low-Grade Energia Storage
"Woah…you actually pulled it off." Standing at the edge of the table, Anthony mused while leaning forward and examining the object, which was the size of a small radio and had magically turned into a perfect crystalline sphere the size of an orange.
"Yep, one down, like 20 more to go…" Aoni grumbled before tossing it into his inventory and beginning work on the next of many Accumulators.
---
By the end of the day, Aoni had completed his task of crafting 25 Accumulators and even gone so far as to upgrade them to Three-Star, yet even though things had progressed as he hoped, the Lad couldn't help but feel like he'd wasted time.
1: Mid-Peak Tier Conductive Accumulator
Durability: E+
Storage Space: 50000 units of Grade-4 Energia, 25000 Units of Grade-5, 15000 of Grade 6, 10000 Units of Grade-7, 5000 Units of Grade-8 Energia
Grade: ★★★
Effect: Mid-Peak-Grade Energia Storage
'Now I get why you said I'd need more than one, but come on, I build 25 of these things, and you mean to tell me the most I can siphon off is 125,000 units of Grade-8 Energia…' ƒгeewebnovёl.com
| An exact number of how many Accumulators would be required was not given |
'Yeah, no kidding, so tell me, oh wise and annoying vague chatbox from hell, How much Grade-8 Energia is stored in that formation.'
| … |
| Calculating |
| Each of the 13,288 High-Tier Runes houses approximately 100 Units of Grade-8 Energia, meaning there is a total of 1,328,800 Units of Grade-8 Energia stored within the Seal |
*blink…blink*
'I hate you…WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST TELL ME THAT AHEAD OF TIME? THAT'S 266 FUCKING ACCUMULATORS!'
| 265.6 3-Star accumulators, to be exact, the number would drastically drop off if the Host was able to increase the Grade of each Accumulator to 4-Stars |
'Oh yeahhh let me just WOOSH my fucking Grade to 4-Stars from No-Fill Three, totally possible, totally wouldn't take MONTHS!'
| Maybe the Host should stop acting like a young child and remember the fact that they still have yet to upgrade their (U) Passive Energia Siphon |
'You…' holding up a finger and completely ready to blast his Attribute Notice to kingdom come with swear words, Aoni paused and realized…that in his haste at figuring out a plan, he'd completely forgotten about upgrading his Siphon passive.

An hour later, Aoni sat on the ground beside his tent, drawing circles in the layer of dust coating the chamber floor.
"I am retarded; I am dumb; I am a worm, must play in dirt 'cause that's where I belong…." He repeated like a broken record whose sanity had been spent for an unknown reason.
"G…gao?" Standing beside Ant, Glacia seemed to be asking, "Is brodder okay," which, oddly enough, he was able to understand because instead of giving her a solid answer, Anthony simply scooped the floof into his arms, fed her a snack cake and walked away, leaving Aoni to his misery in solitude.
Left alone to his devices, Aoni soon realized this fact, and his depressive display faded away like morning dew, transforming into a bright smile.
'Hahahahahh! HAHAHAHHAHAHA!'
The reason? Three distinct lines written in his Attribute Display
Potential: Four Star (LB)/D+ Rank (LB)
Attribute Grade: ★★☆☆ (LB)
(U)Energia Siphon: C+
Sure, he'd lost the arrow beside his potential, but that meant little to him when considering the fact that upon pushing his Siphon up to C-Rank, he'd unlocked the ability to Limit Break his Attribute, in turn giving him his fourth Null-Star.
Now, before anyone goes freaking out screaming THAT'S BROKEN, THAT'S TOO OP, let's set the record straight.
Unlike when Aoni naturally manifests a new star, wherein he would obtain a new Attribute Ability, this time, all it did was give it to him on paper, meaning it only served a singular purpose, allowing for beyond limited growth of things.
Aka…
1: High-low Tier Conductive Accumulator
Durability: E+
Storage Space: 65000 units of Grade-6 Energia, 50000 Units of Grade-7, 25000 of Grade-8,
Grade: ★★★★
Effect: High-Grade Energia Storage
"54, hahaha, I only need 54, ahhhhhhhHHHH!" Aoni screamed while flailing about on the dusty ground like a lunatic.
---
After taking a few moments to calm down, Aoni quickly got to work, crafting the remaining 29 Accumulators with a creepy smile spread across his lips, completely unaware that his future progress may have taken a big leap forward in the long term while his short-term progress was bound to cause him more than a few headaches.
No Traveler had ever had more than a single Null Star at a time, and now that he had two, he was back in uncharted waters.
