Angel nodded.
He had discussed the strength of Mirror Dragons with Luigi before.
Although Kuntela was not among the top Cave Dragons, he could still reach the level of a second-level wizard. His full-force attacks could even reach the peak of a second-level wizard.
Even Sanders would need to be cautious when facing him.
For a pure Rock Crystal Cluster to withstand Kuntela's full-force attack, even if it could only take two blows, it was unquestionably top-tier.
After all, the outcome of a battle was often decided within one or two attacks.
No wonder it sold for so much.
Angel was somewhat tempted by the pure Rock Crystal Cluster too, but unfortunately... it was too expensive. Fifty thousand Crystal Condensates sounded manageable, but that was only the price for one si. If he wanted to use pure Rock Crystal Clusters to make defensive armor, he would need at least a hundred si—five million Crystal Condensates.
Rather than spending five million Crystal Condensates on pure Rock Crystal Clusters, he might as well buy some specialized materials and forge defensive tools himself.
Speaking of forging things himself, Angel suddenly thought of a possibility. "Can these Crystal Shells be used as materials in alchemical forging?"
Kuntela pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "That... probably won't work."
"I once saw a collection compiled by Lord De in the library. According to Lord De's records, Crystal Shells are crystalline bodies condensed by the Crystal-Eyed Race through special methods. They may consider it a form of 'creation,' but fundamentally speaking, it is actually a special kind of 'forging.' Inside, it consists of structural chains formed from crystal bonds of various properties."
"Once such structural chains are mixed with any other material, the crystal bonds inside the Crystal Shell may collapse, causing it to lose
