Subsequently, the armored beast brought Jacob back.
By then, Frazier and Silver-Mallet had almost recovered.
Jacob took out the refined ore essences and fed them to the other few armored beasts. They ate their fill, all very much grateful to him.
"Master Silver-Mallet, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Flaming Metal Sect to rescue your sect leader with my current capabilities. Regardless, please rest assured that I'll figure out a way to do so after settling everything in the mundane world," Jacob vowed.
Silver-Mallet gave a bob of his head.
"I trust you. Even if you can't rescue our sect leader, I should still thank you.
Right now, I've got a smithing fragment. These few armored beasts are still alive as well. Therefore, I can slowly restore the Divine Forging Sect. In less than ten years, we'll definitely be able to attain glory once again. At that time, I'll make you a divine weapon," he gushed gratefully.
