Novel Full 466 New Armor And A Mysterious Ring
—–
Through these last five years I lived in fear of grandmother not waking up. However, against all odds, she has lived very long, and continued living further despite her problems with her back, and other things, which I’ve tried to relieve using Ki Massages and Potions. However, her old age is something I cannot cure, nonetheless, she has been more resilient than I ever expected.
“Look at the young man you’ve become! You’re out for the world, aren’t you, ruffian? Make sure to talk me about all the places you’ll visit in the future, alright?” Grandmother asked with a bright smile.
“Sure thing, grandma… I’ll do. I’ll bring you gifts and other things, so make sure to not kick the bucket while I’m off, okay?”
“Heh, I am not going anywhere!”
Grandmother gave me a karate chop in the head, though it was very soft, it felt like her way to tell me she was not willing to die yet, not until she could see where I would go from now on.
After that moving conversation, we walked outside as Chris, Erdrich, and Elizabeth prepared their gifts while we were enjoying the meat, fish, and crabs and shrimp that father was grilling with several spices to add more delicious flavor to them.
“Blake, here it is.”
Chris placed the box of items over near my seat, as I rapidly opened it to see what was inside. And indeed, it was a full set of armor tailored to my size and specifically made to be lighter. It also used materials I had given to him beforehand, such as Wyvern’s bones and scales.
The armor was red and shaped by the scales of the wyvern and its sharp bones, claws, and fangs. I quickly tried it out, as I felt it was light and perfect. Checking the entire set made me see a single status page. Each piece of equipment seemed connected with one another and became a single piece of equipment. The stats given as bonus would lower accordingly as I took off each piece from the whole set, interesting.

“This feels great. It is barely heavy at all and I even feel faster by wearing it, strangely enough.” I said with a smile.
“The Blacksmith said that the armor became alive or something.” Said Chris. “So if you infuse mana into it, something might happen.”
“Yeah, I can tell…”
It seems Blacksmiths of this world cannot really see the status of their items, the same for alchemists. But by merely analyzing what they make, they can easily tell what they’re capable of. The blacksmith easily noticed the [Draconic Vitality] Ability, despite being unable to see the equipment’s status.
“Thanks a lot Chris, I see you’ve got yourself a similar armor too.”
“Yeah, this is only the shoulder pads, but I’ve got the rest back at home. I might be a fire mage but I’ve already decided to get good at using maces, which are like staffs but that can deal big damage too.”
“Yeah, your physique would be wasted if you didn’t went for physical damage combined with your magic talent.”
Chris have modified his fighting style and begun using enormous maces to fight once he got a bigger body by growing up. All the techniques using staffs were simply passed over to the mace’s techniques. I have enhanced a mace he already had with alchemy, adding bombs to the enhancement, which granted his mace the ability to unleash an explosive blows by infusing mana into it, I had called that the “Bomb Hammer” and was something only those with Fire Attribute magic affinity of high level can use properly.
And then, Elizabeth and Erdrich brought their gift. It seems the two were giving me a gift they bought together using their saved allowances and the money they had earned hunting around.
“And this is what we’ve got for you.” Said Erdrich.
“It might be small but we took a lot of effort into finding one and buying it. If it wasn’t thanks to our connection with the church and the help of Seth, we wouldn’t had been able to find one for another person that wasn’t a high-ranking member.” Said Elizabeth.
The two presented to me a beautiful white ring, it barely had any decorations. However, the scriptures on it were incredibly small runes imbued with holy power. This ring’s material was also unique. The ring emanated a bright aura of holiness and seemed to not be something mass produced at all by a company, but made with incredible carefulness and attention to detail, despite its simplistic appearance and shape.
This was also a ring I’ve seen every high-ranking priest use, even Ellergest and now Seth and Jack. Elizabeth got herself one as well, as she had become an official Priestess not so long ago. Erdrich was still a “War Priest in training” so they had yet to give him one.
Most likely because of that, it was very hard to find one to gift to someone else…
