Ves did not delay any further. He grabbed hold of the Timpala Steel with his gauntlets.
"Meow!"
Lucky finally discovered the remarkable nature of Timpala Steel, but before he could dart in to have a bite, the strange material shimmered before the chunk dematerialized out of existence.
"MEEEOOOW!"
There was no question what had happened. The System had finally acted and absorbed the ore that could be refined into the substance known as Timpala Steel!
Strangely enough, the System did not devour all of the ore. It apparently didn't need all of it and wasn't inclined to absorb any excess. Only a narrow sliver the size of a finger was left of this mysterious material.
"MEOW!
Lucky did not hesitate in the slightest. The cat did not ask for permission and darted forward in order to stuff the finger-sized chunk of ore through his gullet!
