"Haaah...."
I've already advanced into 8th Magic Soul Core.
It is totally different from using Magic Circles, to raise mana power and energy. By using Soul Cores, I feel that I'm much closer and creating a much higher connection with the source of all magic...the Mana Force.
One can only "feel their connection" with the Mana Force when they reach the 10 Circle Archmage rank, but I'm just on my 8th Magic Soul Core, yet my connection is actually much stronger....even if I cast a simple Fireball spell....I'm afraid at what kind of damage it can inflict.
From people....to monsters and beasts.

If there was a system provided, I think this is what it would look like on my profile...too bad though that there is none.
But by achieving 8th Magic Soul Core, I had attain a rank that is on par with a 10th Circle Archmage now....with this I can make use of the powers of....
I do need to be careful though...just a 1/4 of the
That was a mistake on our part, we managed to invade their world but got our asses owned in the end. Anyway, its not my problem, I don't even know if they are near this world or we're even on the same time stream or dimensional stream.
But just to be sure, when I created that worm virus to infiltrate all forms of communications tech, including satellites, it reprogrammed some of the nanobots that are built-in to upgrade its scanner systems to scan for any space breach or unknown portal breaks waaayy up there.
It will send an auto-alert to me down here on this smartphone that I have.
Anyway, let's visit a dungeon with the same rank as me, and test some new accessible powers of Law...
One thing about visiting dungeons, was the hassle of registering. There is no payment before but there is after, the government of course will find new ways to get a tax out of you, especially in a big money-making business such as this.
I rented a Space Backpack, it is a magical object that creates a space inside it to hold any various items and the limit weight is one ton.
Its a cover up item, I have Inventory Space, where I can safely store any kind of item without weight limits or size....but by renting something like this, the government will tax what I take out from it, NOT from my secret space.
You see, I maybe able to get some special items, that I don't want anyone to know about....there could be rare mana stones, mana ore or magic metals, which is much more useful in my hands, than to anybody else.
I can only strengthen and upgrade the Magic Gun and Magic Body Armor to only so much....if I get a rare, unique or legendary item that I can make into something stronger, then it would be even better....it could even strengthen my current android self.
After all, this is my second life....I have to at least make it past older age, older than my previous life as a 10 Circle Archmage.
Anyway, time to test the drone and see how good my hunting is on video.
The video was ultra crisp on the small plasma monitor screen, I can stream live and the quality isn't degraded....if this was my life back then as a "normal human", the internet would be the weakpoint.
I chose this dungeon because its the same Steel Rank and its home to one of the best edible meat monster: the Armor Boar. Its covered in hard coated shell, like a tortoise, that covers up its weak spots like the eyes, nose and butthole.
Sort of like one of those cartoon kids' show, where someone transforms and changes from ordinary civilian clothes into an armored superhero.
Whenever the Armor Boar is in danger, it changes form into an armored one, making it harder to kill and to hunt. Its like hard candy on the outside and soft chewy, meaty delicious when braised, grilled, fried or roasted flesh on the inside.
My strengthening and upgrades that I did with the Magic Gun comes into play here.
I added lots of options: added a cooling inscription so that it takes longer to swap thermal collector mags, a silencer inscription, an anti-flash fire inscription magic, more accuracy and precision aiming and the piece de resistance: critical hit and critical damage when fired while hidden, in stealth or cloaked.
This is key for Armor Boars....you need to hit them and kill them in one shot before they "transform" into an unstoppable juggernaut of pain.

Three shots to the head using the Magic Gun is muy delicioso. This gun is not a projectile based weapon but an energy weapon. The downside is that it produces extreme heat when fired, especially in short bursts or even rapid firing mode.
The thermal collector magazines, removes the heat from the gun, making the gun last longer, prevent any melting of parts and also to not induce cooldowns.
Constantly firing and NOT changing mags during a hunt or a firefight, will put your Magic Gun into a standby phase....I believe its about three hours. You can bypass this....but by doing so it voids warranty AND has a chance to explode in your face.
When you are using the Magic Gun, its constantly draining mana from the user, hence its constantly "fully charged" and ready to use....unless it becomes overheated and you need to reload thermal collector mags again.

I've already filled the Space Bag to the brim, its a ton of meat, yet the bag is still like an ordinary backpack weight. I have extra meats in my inventory space as well, it seems that Armor Boars spawns so fast....no wonder the government is asking for tax in this place.
Frontier City is the number one exporter of Armor Boar meat, as there is no other place that sells this delicious food. There are Blood Hogs, Fruit Pigs and Tentacled Warthogs in other places but the pork of all pork is still the Armor Boar from Frontier City.
As I ventured deeper into the steel-ranked dungeon, the cacophony of the jungle engulfed him. The dense foliage obscured his vision, but his honed senses guided him forward. He moved with a stealthy grace, attuned to the rhythm of the wild.
Suddenly, a deep grunt reverberated through the trees. I froze, my senses are on high alert. I recognized the unmistakable sound—a pack of Armor Boars was nearby, their presence announced by their mighty snorts and rustling movements.
Crouching very low, I expertly maneuvered through the undergrowth, closing in on his prey. The Armor Boars, their massive frames covered in impenetrable plating, were a formidable challenge. Their tusks were said to be capable of shattering boulders, and their senses were as keen as any predator's.
With the MagiDrone hovering silently above, its lenses focused on the upcoming confrontation, I prepared to engage. My Magic Gun glowed with an intense heat and blue phosphorus-like light, ready to release their fiery payload on the unsuspecting prey.
The first Armor Boar burst through the thick foliage, its enormous form charging towards me with surprising speed. Time seemed to slow as I aimed my weapon, my fingers gripping the enchanted grip with unwavering precision. I pulled the trigger, and a scorching blast of heat erupted from the gun, enveloping the head of the beast in searing light.
The Armor Boar squealed in agony, its thick head and fur was crackling under the onslaught of heat. But the creature was not easily defeated. It retaliated with a fierce charge, its massive tusks aimed at me in its armored form.
I swiftly sidestepped the attack, his agile movements defying the boar's aggression. He continued to unleash volleys of fiery blasts at one spot on the forehead, each one sizzling through the air and unleashing a barrage on its weakness....the uncovered head.
The battle raged on, with me and the Armor Boar locked in a deadly dance of predator and prey.
The MagiDrone whirred above, capturing every heart-pounding moment. My Magic Body Armor absorbed the boar's powerful blows, shielding me from harm. It proved to be a wise investment, reinforcing my resilience against the mighty creatures.
Amidst the chaos, a second Armor Boar emerged from the shadows, joining the fray with a bellowing roar. It charged towards me, its tusks gleaming in the dappled sunlight. But me with tons of experience in hunting and killing, with unwavering focus, casted a Slow Spell Field, so that anything near me or within range of me, becomes slow and I can see their movements, only then did I unleash a concentrated barrage of heat upon the new adversary, diverting its attention then moving to its vulnerable position.
The MagiDrone circled above, its lenses capturing the intensity and spectacle of the hunt. Both my skill and determination were on full display as I expertly evaded the Armor Boars' attacks, retaliating with calculated precision. Each blast from my magic gun found its mark, hitting the boars' weak defenses....before they could even change into armored forms.
Time seemed to stretch as the hunt continued, each encounter is pushing my abilities to their limits.
The Armor Boars, though formidable adversaries, were no match for my cunning strategy, arsenal of magical weaponry and hidden ace....using debuff magic spells to slow the Armor Boars movements and speed.
Finally, after a grueling battle, both Armor Boars succumbed to their injuries, their massive forms collapsing to the jungle floor. I stood victorious, my body was undeterred but my soul feels like its running ragged after such a hunt and my armor bears the marks of battle.
As the MagiDrone descended, its recording complete, I gazed at the slain creatures before me. I felt a mix of triumph and respect, acknowledging the power and resilience of the Armor Boars. I approached the fallen beasts, grateful for the bountiful feast they would provide and the opportunity to share their succulent meat with those who appreciated its rare delicacy....for a price of course!
The MagiDrone floated beside me, its lens capturing the aftermath of the hunt.
The exhilaration of the encounter still coursed through his veins as he reflected on the significance of this moment. It was not just a successful hunt—it was a testament that I know what I'm doing whether: hunting monsters or beasts, upgrading gear or....dismantling corpses of prey with extreme precision.
With a satisfied smile on my face, me Deth Jones, the former 10 Circle Archmage, claims my well-deserved victory.
I then started to dismantle the corpses carefully, as every part of the animal is considered a rare goods....rare goods equals large amount of profit...for again...me Deth Jones.
The hunt had tested my mettle, showcasing the prowess of my upgraded gear and the culmination of my experience from the past.
It was a testament to my insatiable thirst for adventure and the thrill of the hunt that drove me forward in this captivating world of magic and discovery.
