While his party members did their best to stall The Hero's rampant growth by using any dirty means necessary, even incinerating all of The Hero's luck, Ackster wasn't doing nothing. As soon as his party members acted, Ackster reassigned the power of Limit Breaker to Smelting Furnace.
Limit Breaker had flooded all of Ackster, including his skills. But the paltry power that leaked into Smelting Furnace wasn't enough.
Ackster had stolen fire from the world's Core. If there was anything on or in Millmeria that could burn and refine world power, it was the flames cooped up in the center of the world. However, the minuscule amount he took couldn't compare to the heat of the Core.
If Ackster wanted to refine the world power as quickly as possible, he needed to boost Smelting Furnace.
