I let everyone move forwards as I ended halting my advance, backtracking to absorb as many molten scrap beasts as I could while absorbing all of their rich Metal-Attribute Mana!

Ultimately, I ended continuously growing these two Skills, reaching Level 3 on both, this was getting insane of how easy it got! Even though I thought Golden metal Blood would be hard to level up, thanks to Full Metal Body allowing me to easily absorb metal and with my immunity to fire and heat allowing me to easily bath on the burning metal, the skill grew increasingly fast!

Currently, this was the progress so far, and it looked really easy and sweet. I simply kept absorbing the molten metals into my body with incredible ease, making them quickly disappear once I got the hang of it. Maybe because they were melted, it was much easier to absorb them than when they were on their solid state.

I kept leaping from place to place, while unleashing more of my Nova Meteors and swordsmanship techniques, absorbing any corpse left behind and feeling my body continuously grow stronger, while my blood continued boiling rapidly.

Whatever changes these were giving to my body, it was big! It was like I was cultivating a part I never thought possible, and it was only making it more addicting. I had yet to even reach the power Sphynxiette's kind had over their metallic blood, but I was going to get there one day.

"ROOOAARR!"

Three Scrap beast Chimeras suddenly assembled together into an even larger monster, trying to match Ignatius size. My dragon spirit simply laughed at their attempt though, as he rapidly erupted like a volcano, unleashing endless rains of giant, blazing stones from his body, made out of the same meteors I had let him absorb.

"Don't ever think you stand a chance against me, you fucker!" Laughed Ignatius. "[Volcanic Wrath]!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

His attacks slowly devastated the fused chimeras, as I quickly leaped towards its melting body and as I bathed on it as if nothing, I absorbed everything into my body, making tons of molten metals instantly disappear.

"Melted metals are so easy to absorb~"

As I felt the power of my Skills rise even more, I noticed Aquarina was on the front, easily destroying everything with ease. She was charging furiously while slaying as many Scrap beasts as possible on her own. Her summoned Aura Dragons coming from her own Dual Leviathan Aura kept weakening her foes, making it even easier for her to move.

At the end of the large corridor, I saw it, there was a huge opening, covered by an enormous wall made of combined metallic pieces. And on the other side, there was something, a gigantic being. And I also felt several life forms, the slimes!

"We're getting closer, Aquarina! Sylphy!" Pyuku alerted us.

"Gotcha!" I nodded.

I quickly absorbed the last scrap beasts, noticing that the skills leveled up once more, and I gained new Abilities alongside that too!

Oof, that step four was quite rough to do, how do I even do that?! Should I use my Full Metal Body and just as I absorb the metals, somehow redirect them to my blood vessels? That got to be a bit painful at least.

Though, the new Stage 3 Ability was worth it too, I now gained a permanent boost to my movement speed and attack speed, and the effects are immediate! I felt so much faster I sprinted through all like a golden blur, appearing by Aquarina's side in a split second!

Ding!

[The [Swift Fighter: Lv1] Skill has Leveled Up!]

"Aquarina!"

"Sylphy! What are you doing? You took so long to catch up!"

"Hahaha! Sorry, sorry, I took a small detour, I couldn't waste the opportunity."

"Opportunity? …Well, anyways, looks like we got ourselves another boss, look!"

As we slashed through the last Scrap beast trying to block our path, Aquarina pointed at the distance. The giant metallic door blocking the way to the depths of the Scrap King's lair was actually a Scrap Beast of its own!

"GROOOHHHH!"

It groaned with a monstrous metallic roar, as it slowly shapeshifted, revealing a thousand long, metallic tentacles with countless sharp jaws! I guess we'll have to just push through.
