It was a good thing he decided to be patient. Though, looking at the Boss' Stats, he didn't think it would have made much of a difference to him anyway.
The creature was far weaker than him, and he knew that well enough.
'What's more interesting are the multiple Flowers here.' Looking around him while using Appraisal, he realized how different they were and how they could be used for multiple purposes.
'Some can be used for Life Force Recovery, some for Mana. Some are poisonous, while others improve Stats temporarily. Some are psychedelics, others cause sleep and fatigue. They're so many!'
Rey could distinguish the flowers and their effects due to the colors they had, but he still wondered how dangerous things would be for someone who had no idea which plan did what.
'They would probably have to go through the rigorous process of testing. Appraisal really is useful…' He smiled.
Returning his gaze to the Boss Monster, though, he went through its Status Window once again—even going as far as studying all of its Skills.
'Some look promising. I should be able to test out my [Perfect Divine Growth] here, especially in terms of Skill acquisition and evolution.'
What he wanted to see, more than anything, though, was the effect of another Skill of his.
"[Divine Weapon Creation]." He stretched out his hand, and a glimmering golden sword appeared in it.
It had runic designs on it, and every part of it seemed carved to perfection.
'It's funny how I only need to roughly think about the form I want the weapon to take, and the Skill spits out these intricate designs.'
Still, he paid that no mind.
Instead, he called for one of the Young Ones, beckoning for her to come to his side.
"Eeek!" She shrank back instantly, causing him to sigh in exasperation.
~FWUSH!~

The Elf shivered the moment this happened, but Rey couldn't help but be further disappointed.
'They already know how strong I am, and that I have this ability, yet they keep acting up every time. These girls…'
With the way the Elves acted, Rey was beginning to question the distaste for Half Elves. Esme was naive, sure, but she was nowhere as bad as these ones.
That had to be because of her human side, right?
'If that's the case, then Half Elves are better. Or maybe this is my bias because it's Esme we're talking about.'
It wasn't like he had met any other of her kind.
'In any case…' He brought the golden blade closer to the Elf, causing her to tremble even further, squeaking in fear.
"P-please forgive me…!" She begged, sobbing as loudly as possible.
Her Elven sisters began to plead on her behalf to, and all of their annoying cries began to overwhelm Rey.
He couldn't take any more.
"Just be quiet and listen!"
His emotions were not suppressed, much to his chagrin, most likely because he was addressing the Elves. Still, he intentionally calmed himself.
"I'm not going to kill you. I just want to test out the effects of the weapons I make using a Skill. If this experiment works out well, it'll cut costs exponentially and generate more profit. It's also a cleaner way to produce weapons, so that's a win-win for everyone."
The Elves didn't understand most of what he said—especially towards the end—but upon hearing that they would be spared, their crying sounds began to vanish.
It happened so quickly that Rey wondered if they were just acting the whole time.
"S-so we won't be killed?"
"No, you won't be killed. It's simple, really. Just wield the weapons and use them for a while. I'll be observing the whole thing."
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})The goal was to see just how much of a buff the weapons he created would grant to those who wielded them. Before he got to this point, he had to be sure that his weapons could be wielded, which he tried out with Esme and Kara.
It turned out that, for Kara, she couldn' wield the Divine Weapons. Since his Skill, [Divine Weapon Summon], allowed him to summon from the lower Tiers as well, he decided to go even lower in the list.
Still…
'Kara couldn't wield anything higher than a C-Tier Weapon.' Rey sighed.
He thought it was all about Class Boundary, since Kara had a C-Tier Class, but after trying the same experiment on Esme, he was met with pleasant surprise.
She was able to wield a Divine Weapon well.
The problem, however, was that the Stat Boosts she got from the weapon seemed a little too low for his tastes—almost as if the weapons were nerfed in her hands.
'That means one of two things. It's either the weapon was automatically downgraded in her hands, due to her Class limitation, or that the Divine Weapon itself is defective and doesn't give much of a boost.'
He found the latter to be unlikely, which was why he desired to test out his theory on these young ones before him—
especially in an environment fraught with danger.
'I'll have them test out all of my hypotheses to my satisfaction.' His smile widened.
There were 48 Active Elves here, with Classes ranging from D to B Tier; perfect specimens for his purposes.
'And what better way to do that than to fight a Boss Monster and win?'
