Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 224 - 221-My Knight Career Might End on a Barbecue Rack!
"No way!"
The five knight commanders rejected the idea in perfect unison, leaving Velen momentarily frozen in place.
Are these guys… addicted to getting beaten up?
Arthur, black eyes still swollen, stepped forward eagerly. His voice held an intensity Velen had never heard before.
"Your Highness, please—please let that little girl… no, that honorable lady, come and beat us up again!"
What the hell?
Velen stared at Arthur, stunned. He turned to the other four commanders and found similar looks of anticipation on all their faces.
"You all… are into this now?" Justin couldn't help but ask.
"You know nothing!" roared the Thunder Knight Commander, flinging out his arms dramatically.
"Every punch from that great lady was imbued with the power of a higher realm!"
"After a few hits, I actually felt my strength—stuck for fifty years—start to loosen!"
The Nether Soul Knight Commander pulled a crystal from his robe. Activating it projected a recording of last night's battle.
The footage showed the little girl gently patting Arthur on the chest—and in that moment, golden order patterns shimmered in the air.
"See that? That's the legendary Pain Enlightenment!"
"In ancient times, only the War God Priests knew that technique!"
Velen squinted at the markings, suddenly finding them oddly familiar.
Wait… weren't those the combat insights he casually taught the little girl during a dull moment in the Singularity Battlefield?

A moment later—
As Justin began crafting a sculpture of the Thunder Knight Commander, Velen turned his attention to the day's special items.
Today's Special Item: Dragon Glass ×10,000
(All extracted from Ascended-Rank Dragon spellbeasts.)
Dragon Glass: Crystals formed from dragon life essence. Embedding them in weapons greatly enhances magical power.
...??
Velen was stunned.
Ten thousand Dragon Glass?
How was he supposed to squander wealth properly with that?!
He rubbed his temples, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Say… how's your research on Dragon Glass going?" he asked.
"Dragon Glass?" Arthur looked confused. "Your Highness, you know about that?"
For some reason, Arthur suddenly had a very bad feeling.
"Dragon Glass is the crystallized life of dragons. It's incredibly rare, even in the Singularity Battlefield. Embedding one in a weapon is said to be optimal—but even then, the energy efficiency is less than ten percent."
"Still, even at less than ten percent, it's incredibly useful. Dragons have some of the highest magical aptitude in the universe. A single Dragon Glass embedded in a weapon can drastically increase spellcasting speed and power—"
Before Arthur could finish, Velen smiled and poured thousands of Dragon Glasses out of his spatial ring.
Radiant light instantly flooded the courtyard.
All five knight commanders held their breath.
"Y-Y-Your Highness… what is this…"
Dusoul raised his head, eyes wide in horror. "You're not… planning to…"
Velen grinned. "Exactly. I'm planning to hunt a few Titan-Rank spellbeasts today—see how their meat tastes when grilled."
Dusoul: "..."
He felt his entire knight career might end on a barbecue rack.
"Let's throw a BBQ party today."
Velen pulled out a bunch of Astral Aurum skewers like a magician, holding them up.
"We'll skewer the Dragon Glass with these, grill them over soul crystal flames—it'll be fun!"
Nether Soul Knight Commander's hands trembled violently as he held a skewer.
"Using… Astral Aurum for skewers? Soul crystals as seasoning?"
This was next-level extravagance!
"Don't worry about the details."
Velen had already skewered five Dragon Glass crystals onto a stick with practiced ease.
"Justin, bring over a few more Lv9 Forges. We'll use them as grills."
As the soul crystals ignited into flames, the five knight commanders realized their understanding of the universe was collapsing.
Dusoul gripped his Astral Aurum skewer tightly, flinching every time a Dragon Glass was stabbed through. It was like his soul was crying.
"Your Highness…"
Dusoul's voice trembled. "These are Ascended-Rank Dragon Glasses… and we're just… grilling them?"
"Why? You got a better idea?" Velen asked casually.
Dusoul opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only hang his head in despair and keep skewering crystals.
"Such waste… True, majestic waste…" he wept internally.
Soon, the flames from the soul crystals roared high. The air shimmered from the heat.
Velen picked up one of the skewers and held it over the fire, rotating it gently.
Sizzle—
A rich aroma filled the courtyard almost instantly. Just the scent alone made everyone's mana start to surge slightly.
"This scent…"
Nether Soul Knight Commander twitched his nose and widened his eyes. "Why does it smell so good?!"
Velen smirked and sprinkled some powdered soul crystal over the flame. The fragrance multiplied.
The five commanders instinctively swallowed.
"Your Highness, are you sure this isn't wasting energy?" Dusoul still clung to a shred of hope.
"Energy?" Velen shrugged. "I've got ten thousand of these. What's a few going to hurt?"
Dusoul: "..."
He felt like his heart had just been stabbed.
Soon, the first round of grilled Dragon Glass was ready.
Velen generously handed them out.
"Try it."
The Nether Soul Knight Commander hesitated—then gave in and took a bite.
BOOM!
A surge of wild energy exploded inside his body. His aura skyrocketed.
"This… this is insane!"

Dusoul stared at the glowing Dragon Glass in his hands.
"Eating it gives this much power?!"
Arthur Knight Commander took a bite too, and his eyes lit up. "Your Highness, this is amazing!"
"Well then," Velen laughed. "What are you waiting for? Get grilling!"
And so, the five knight commanders of Uno Kingdom—once noble, ascended elites—were now grilling Dragon Glasses around a fire like BBQ chefs.
Dusoul mumbled as he roasted, his heart bleeding.
"One Dragon Glass could've gone on my spear… Now we're just roasting them…"
Arthur patted him on the shoulder. "Don't think too much. They belong to His Highness anyway—as long as he's happy."
Dusoul: "..."
He could feel his knightly spirit crumbling.
Meanwhile, at the Ducal Manor…
"Breaking news! Lord Velen is grilling Dragon Glasses in Uno Kingdom—skewered on Astral Aurum, cooked with soul crystal flames!"
"What?!"
The senators of Ducal Manor were collectively dumbstruck.
"That's Ascended-Rank Dragon Glass! Just one is enough to transform an Elite-Rank warrior!"
"Lord Velen… truly as extravagant as ever."
"Wait… where did he even get so many Dragon Glasses?"
"Rumor has it… he brought them back from the Singularity Battlefield…"
"..."
The hall fell into a long silence.
At last, one senator whispered:
"…Should we… try to crash the party?"
The room: "..."
