Chapter 338 – Like the Claws of a Platypus (2)

“All… It’s done!”

Saying that, Fei collapsed as if collapsing backwards.

At this rate, it was obvious that he would fall, so he rushed over and picked up Faye’s small body from behind.

“Good job Fay-senpai.”

Hehe. Still, the hard work was worth it.”

Fei’s gaze, wandering in my arms, turned a little to the side. A shelf stacked with various kinds of weapons.

There are weapons such as staffs and wands, and accessories such as brooches and necklaces are piled up together.

Different types of equipment. However, both of them had the same unusual energy.

“Brother. Could you carry me and my gear to the bed? I have to explain what kind of performance it is, but I have no strength in my legs because I have been standing for too long…”

“Of course you have to do that.”

First of all, after putting the piled equipment into the inventory, I lifted it while hugging Fay’s shoulders and the back of her knees.

Fei, who is in the so-called princess hug state, lets out a joyful scream.

“Hey! Didn’t you pick me up?!”

“Shall I pick you up?”

“No? I like this. I need to see your junior’s handsome face.”

“Then I’m Fei-senpai’s…”

“You want to see the chest?”

“I was tired, so I tried to see the eyes spinning around?”

“So? Can’t you see the chest?”

“… Of course you will.”

“Hehe. Take a look And when you come back, don’t forget that it’s your junior’s turn to show them.”

What are you trying to do to me… ?

She got goosebumps from knowing Fei’s shady nature, but when she thought about it, it seemed that the play Fei suggested wasn’t always bad.

She just finished it and now has one more reason to come back.

I smiled and headed to the room where the party was staying. As soon as I entered, I laid Fay on the bed and spilled the equipment on a nearby table.

The party looking at the scene with sparkling eyes. They must have realized that they were weapons that could not be obtained even if they looked at them and paid money.

Fei, who had been staring blankly at her ceiling, opened her mouth with a rapidly growing voice.

“First of all, I’ll explain your junior’s equipment. See the long black staff? That’s your junior’s weapon.”

“Oh…”

It lifted a staff that was recognizable at a glance thanks to its long size, close to that of a short spear.

What kind of ore was used? The staff had a glossy shine. Feeling the strange pulsation makes you feel as if you are alive.

… No, when I explain it like this, something is wrong.

A big, beautiful, hard, pulsating magic stick.

She thinks the trauma of Faye’s previous offer to make her a dildo staff lingers like her PTSD.

Shaking her head, she brushed off her useless thoughts. Faye glanced at her and turned her head to look this way, she said.

“First of all, the overall design is similar to the staff your junior is currently using. However, it is a significant improvement in terms of materials and efficiency.”

“If I am writing now… Are you saying you’re responding to me?”

“Huh. The branches of the world tree were used as the skeleton, and artificial slime was connected to it like nerves. The finish is an alloy made by properly mixing the scales and horns scraped from my junior. If you inject magic into it, it will automatically resonate and become the owner’s certification.”

“Ah…”

The many attempts Fay has made so far. It is said that it is a staff made only by taking out those strengths.

From material processing to design structure. I feel that Faye’s experience has been deeply melted.

With a beating heart, he blew magic into the staff. Then, as if he had waited, the guy trembled.

Ugh-

It feels like my nerves are extending from my hands and becoming one with the staff. In fact, the alloy on the outside originally fits my body.

The moment when that amplified sense of unity penetrates the staff and connects them to the branch of the world tree hidden in the deepest place.

“Huh.”

The surrounding mana began to stir.

It wasn’t that he raised much of his mana, but he started to resonate with the mana of the area.

No matter how much Lintbloom’s breathing method has reached the stage and natural resonance has become possible as if breathing, this is a strange thing.

There is only one way this can happen. It is said that the mana amplification rate, which was a chronic problem with the equipment Fay made, jumped like crazy.

I squeezed the staff that I had become accustomed to like a part of my body before I knew it, tried swinging it in the air, and repeated casting and canceling simple low-level magic before I opened my mouth.

“How cool?”

“Heh heh. It should be huh. Who made it Of course you should.”

Fei smirked with an unpleasant laugh. Normally, he would look a little awake, but… Even if you’re pretty now, you can’t be this pretty.

It is much stronger than before, has excellent mana conduction ability, and has a superior amplification rate.

Up until now, the power of magic was increased by utilizing resonance or ignorantly hitting mana.

But now, with the power of the staff, once more amplified magic, and it was possible to fire high-level magic.

With this, no matter how many monsters come, I’ll be able to wipe them out.

It took a while to tinker with the staff with moved eyes. Faye, who had been smirking, nodded again.

“There is still one more left. Didn’t your cloak get damaged while fighting the empress last time? So I made a robe at all.”

“A robe?”

“Huh. Among the leaves given by the circulating life, I used the largest and toughest. I didn’t have enough time for this, so I couldn’t come up with a proper design like the staff, I just did some shaping and finishing. If I had more time, I would have enchanted various magic…”

Fei sighs in regret. However, in my eyes, it didn’t seem like such a waste.

A design with purple lines on a black background. Wherever I looked, the shape of the leaves did not remain, but the moment I put it on my body, I had no choice but to realize it. That this is the leaf of the world tree.

The bizarre sensation that wrapped around my body was very similar to what I felt in the sanctuary of circulating life on the upper level of the World Tree.

“As I said before, I just changed the shape of the leaf to make it into a robe, and I spread artificial slime thinly on the front and back to make it like a shell by mixing the scales of my junior and the bark of the world tree in half.”

“Is it okay if I put magic into this too?”

“Huh. Basically, it has an overall recovery speed increase and a slight magic amplification effect. It also has physical and magic protection abilities… Normally, this wouldn’t be such a big deal. Instead, the moment juniors become aware of it, it moves on its own and hardens.”

“It means that it responds to my will and concentrates defense.”

“You understand quickly. That’s right.”

As Fei said, he first injected magic into it and carved the owner’s mark. For a moment, I felt a sense of incongruity, as if my body was floating, but soon a familiar sense of unity covered everything.

After taking a couple of deep breaths in that state, I raised my arms wide, concentrating on my right side.

Flutter.

Then, the robe moved by itself and covered my entire body like a curtain. When you tap it lightly, you can feel that it is harder than most iron plates.

It’s perfect when a single shield is too much for you, or when you don’t even have time to spread the shield.

Actually, the robes I used before were focused on stealth and cognitive manipulation, so the combat itself is starting to get a little subtler.

While fighting. I had quite a bit of fun with the technique of suddenly becoming invisible and out of the way, but… That’s a trick that only works among guys with a high level.

Now that it’s time to stop working, it would be more useful to directly help in battle like this. The performance itself is definitely good.

So, I decided to translate my feelings into words and shout them out.

“Senior Fei is a genius! Senior Faye is the best! She’s pretty, has big breasts, is good at alchemy, and even becomes the next Duchess… I have everything but my height!”

“Hmmmm. Don’t blow it up too much … What? Is it okay to float it?”

It was Fei who was shaking her head instead of saying it, but she shook her head and continued talking.

“Anyway, this equipment was possible with my alchemy, but it was possible because the ingredients were better than that. It’s not the main body, but it’s made from an alter ego, so the power contained in it is reduced… Essentially, like your junior’s dagger, it’s made from a part of God, isn’t it? If it had been left to Kang Chul-nim who bumps into each other instead of me, as recommended by Circulating Life-sama, something better might have come out.”

Fei smiled bitterly, saying that she might be sick of it.

The colliding steel is also recovering in its own sanctuary, so I can’t make it myself, but… His High Priest lives on this land.

A skilled artisan even received plenty of authority related to production. Perhaps, as Faye said, she might have created a new object. But.

“Anyway, it must be a low-class god after all.”

“… Anyway new thing? It’s a sacred thing because it can’t be made with human power alone?”

“The guys I want to deal with are gods, not humans. Lesser sacred objects would work well if they were bishops or archbishops. But anything beyond that is a different story.”

Fiona was unusual, and Cardinals are actually more like the terminals of evil spirits than humans. In many ways, it is said that human beings escape.

It was then that the effectiveness of the Shining Lion Dagger fell. Monsters that do not die in one or two hits, even if additional critical hits are fired.

Or, things that are so eroded that they are judged as non-cult monsters and do not even receive guaranteed critical hits.

For those guys, it would be more effective to just hit something with high-level magic or firepower equivalent to it rather than insisting on new things.

So it was when Iona took down Isla, her sister and her own foe.

Even high-level magic can withstand mediocre magic, so I finished it off with a kind of special move called Chepes, which gets stronger and stronger by absorbing the power of the enemy it pierced through.

“It’s only about the holy sword that the first hero used, but halfway sacred objects are meaningless.”

“… Then, isn’t it the same that my weapon has no meaning?”

“No. Fei-senpai’s equipment is different.”

There were many staffs with higher amplification rates than those made by Fei, and craftsmen who could make sharper swords.

Anyone who has received the title of Meister, which means the best craftsman, will be able to do it.

“But none of them make weapons I can trust.”

There is no perfect weapon in the world. No matter how great a weapon is, it will break when it meets a stronger opponent.

How many famous swords were actually broken during the War of the Gods?

But Fay’s weapon is different.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s a weapon made with alchemy that pursues perfection that can’t exist, or if it’s Fei’s personal inclination.

However, Faye’s weapon doesn’t break easily, and even if it breaks, it never disappoints my expectations.

Its own performance is good, but more than that, it focuses on maximizing the user’s skills. Arms with special effects that cannot be made normally.

That’s what I felt when I saw Fay’s stuff.

“A weapon made by a craftsman who knows me well, only for me, and never betrays me, no matter how desperate the situation. Is there anything more important than this?”

“Ah…”

“Above all, Fei will become even more amazing. As fast as I get stronger, or more. One day, I might make a staff that’s even greater than the chairman’s cane I’ve seen before. So do you understand?”

“What… ?”

“My exclusive is Fei-senpai. It’s not an empty word to say that it has to be Fei-senpai.”

“…”

Fei smirks with a red-hot face. Soon, after knocking on the pillow several times, he jumped to his feet.

“Daddy, get out of the way, junior! I have to explain other people’s equipment, but I don’t have time!”

Faye, who said that, smiled brightly with the corner of her mouth hanging from her ear.

What… It’s no secret that her disheveled hair and complexion, emaciated by the night, made her look like a crazy ghost.
