Chapter 633: Sable Demonite
Heroes, the pillars supporting the skies of an entire region.
In exchange for the trust and additional power provided to them by the WAA, heroes naturally have obligations they must accomplish now and then.
For Valenzia, since Shye was currently the only hero the region had, he had no choice but to complete mandatory missions every two months.
However, fortunately for Shye, the paperwork for the registration of a new hero would take months to process.
Moreover, this was the first time the Valenzia WAA Headquarters had to process one, so it took a bit longer than expected.
As a result, Shye was able to focus on hunting the monstrous creatures he needed, securing the crafting materials he had researched and sought after.
The first monster he targeted was the (S)-ranked Stygian Garuda, a darkness-element creature standing seven meters tall. It had a humanoid upper body and legs, sharp talons, an armored head, and pitch-black angel wings.
Since the backwater regions such as Valenzia and Krebori were somehow rich in darkness energy, high-ranked darkness element creatures were plentiful.
However, despite this, apex (S) ranked monstrous creatures like the Stygian Garuda were a rare sight.
Shye’s focus was on the metal bracers worn by the Stygian Garuda, crafted from a peak adamantite-tier ore known as Sable Demonite.
How the Stygian Garudas acquired this rare ore, found only in the deepest underground caves, and forged it into such intricate, high-quality bracers remained a mystery to all.
Naturally, although extremely rare, there were at least more than a hundred recorded hunts of Stygian Garudas in the past and the adventurers who defeated them tried using the bracers.
Unfortunately, the bracers only functioned as a subpar shield for adventurers, lacking the special bonuses they granted their original owners
As a result, blacksmiths typically smelted the bracers back into Sable Demonite to forge new adamantite-tier equipment imbued with bonus darkness-element attributes.
Once enchanted with peak-tier darkness gemstones, the resulting weapon would become a force of pure menace.
However, for Shye who could see in the dark, there wouldn’t be any problems in terms of vision so there was no difference whether he hunted in the dark or not.
Additionally, Stygian Garudas are darkness-element creatures and are more active at night.
Thus, it would be better for him to search for them after the sun has set, as it would make the task somewhat easier.
Anubises were also a top-tier (S) ranked monster.
However, in terms of viciousness and attributes, Stygian Garudas were a step above.
Though rarely seen fighting dragons, they sometimes manage to wound and force even the weaker dragons to retreat.
They were extremely dangerous, bloodthirsty, and sinister creatures.
Nonetheless, they were prime targets for Shye, who aimed to both enhance his combat experience and acquire Sable Demonites, as many of his trump card skills were of the darkness attribute.
After searching for about two hours in the chilling darkness, jumping from rocky outcrop to rocky outcrop, Shye finally sensed a bloodthirsty gaze from behind him.
This caused his hair to stand on end and a chill to crawl down his spine.

Swiftly turning around, his eyes narrowed.
There it was—perched atop the highest rocky outcrop of the shadowy mountains, glaring at him with its pitch-black, sinister eyes and an eerie smile on its half-avian face, seated like a stone gargoyle.
Shye’s heart began to race, caught between excitement and wariness.
The aura it emitted was almost as strong as that of Veidrax. However, it was far more sinister and unnerving than that of the void dragon.
’Stygian Garuda...show me the pinnacle of darkness then, sinister creature!’
