The Darkness Metal Manipulation
Chapter 46's

"Eh? Hm..., will you tell me again?" Said Liya astonished by what Zyden said.

"Do you have any beer in this palace?" Answer Zyden flat.

"A... E...? My Lord's beer?" Liya asked in disbelief.

"Yes!" Zyden answered again as usual.

"M... Forgive me, my lord. There's no such thing as beer in this palace." Liya said in a guilty tone.

"Is that so? All right, it's okay." Zyden turned his gaze to the lake.

"Taa... But, I have something similar to beer, my lord." Liya shouted trying to calm Zyden down.

"It's in my room, I'll get it for you. I'll be right back, please wait here." He stood up and hurried to his room.

A few minutes passed, Liya came back running with a small box in her hand.

"Huft... huft! Forgive me, my lord, make you wait. I brought something similar to beer." Said Liya giving the box to Zyden who was still sitting.

Zyden accepted it and opened it. After the box was opened, it contained several dark-red grapes but they were shaped like apples.

"It's called Leanull, a fruit that's often used by dwarf races as their brewing ingredient or alcohol." Liya said.

"While I use it as a pain or tranquilizer for spirits. Since I would rather use medicine than healing magic, all sick spirits would get medicine as a cure."

"If the illness is so bad, I will use magic until her critical condition passes, then recover her using medicine until she recovers." Liya continued at length.

"Medicine? Can this be eaten directly?" Zyden asked indifferently to the effects of the fruit.

"Can My Lord. But, you can only eat two to three pieces just so you don't lose consciousness." Answer Liya.

"Is that so? Thanks for the gift, then I'll eat." Said Zyden taking one and then eating it.

" .... "

"It feels too sweet, but not sickening. It's delicious!" Zyden continued to eat the fruit.

Two, three, five, ten Leanulls Zyden still ate. Liya looked at it stuttering and astonished, she was speechless as Zyden ate the fruit voraciously.

"What'sthis? I didn't feel the drunken taste after eating it!" Zyden. "What's true this is similar to a typical beer." Further asked.

"I. Yes, my Lord. It should have the same function as beer, because usually it is used as the main ingredient to make Dwarf beer." Liya replied doubtful of what she said.

"But I don't feel anything at all. Feeling of drunkenness or drowsiness, absolutely nothing. Is this really the ingredient for making beer?" Zyden looked at the box with a red dot in his eyes.

"What do you mean! And don't call me with that call. I'm not yours." Said Zyden coldly which made Liya somewhat stunned by the change and Zyden red eyes.

"Ma ma..., I'm sorry! I beg you, forgive my sass." Liya shouted bowed. "What I mean is that Tu's body has immunity to alcohol and something that can make consciousness go away."

"Because that's why the Leanull fruit you eat doesn't produce the actual effect." Continue with a respectful tone.

"so." Said Zyden standing up and giving the box to Liya. "Tell Erika, get her ready because we're leaving tomorrow morning! Then bring the fruit as much as possible and give it to me tomorrow, I'll buy it." Zyden gave the order.

"Tomorrow morning? It's not like you're not feeling well right now!" Liya Seru.

"Just do what I said earlier, I don't want to waste any more time." Said Zyden leaving Liya alone.

'i have to know how my body can become like this?' thought Zyden went to his room.

Arriving in the room, Zyden immediately used the eyes of knowledge skill on his body.

"justified! The Metal Darkness Skill could not develop any further, damn it. Why did this happen?" Zyden was upset.

"My eyes don't know why this happened either. The only thing I can think of is that god damn thing and.., ah!"

Continue to remember something.

"True, that stupid seal...! It all happened after the god gave me a seal on my body. The Metal Darkness Skill was the result of 'something' being sealed it."

"By limiting the movement of 'something' then the results will also be limited."

"Akh.., everything makes sense now. Does that god bastard want to take me down, or... Tch! Turns out he wanted me to control that 'something." Zyden exclaimed thinking of all the possibilities.

"Without you doing anything like this I would do to control it. But, why would you limit my development to this useless thing." Zyden blasphemy to the god who reincarnated him.

"Well, that's okay. Anyway tonight I can't sleep, just to figure out how to control it." He walked and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Zyden began to close his eyes and concentrate on feeling an entity within his body.

In the morning, Zyden was already preparing in the palace hall. He wore black clothes, black pants as well as a black robe that made him very conspicuous.

Zyden was waiting for Erika who was getting ready. Not long after, two women came from the hallway connected to the palace hall.

A 16-year-old woman in the clothes of an adventurer who makes her match her purple hair and tomboy body.

Another followed behind him, with silvery-white hair and a maid outfit that looked very ordinary and easy to move.

"Why are you so long, didn't I tell you we were leaving in the morning." Zyden exclaimed coldly at the two women who had just arrived in front of him.
