Mhmm, an accident happened in Elyonda today. With Yeoss royal family in the city and the guards having to stay with them, that meant less people around to protect everybody from the roaming monsters, Rita gave me a report of what caused the loss of two of my human followers. Even after the grounds in Elyonda were cleansed from the overabundance of mana, there were still accidents.

Neill, hearing this, nodded but frowned a bit as she noticed I felt sad hearing this. People die all the time, Sis. Elyonda is just in a very tricky situation, you cant do everything. Dont let it bother you.

I know, I replied, but it didnt mean I felt any better. Well, I guess this was why I didnt promote myself as a hero, but more as an entertainer.

Even if I am a Champion, who is supposed to protect Aurenas followers.

The concert was a massive success.

The whole square was filled to the brim with people who listened and watched my concert and collab with Rosserto, allowing me to gain a whooping 3798 followers during the whole process. Naturally, a lot of them were dragonewts and since they knew who I was, they were easy to convert to the [The Light] cultAhem, my fandom. Honestly, though, the people from Elyonda and Artorias have mostly turned into real stansoverzealous fans.

Well, it did mean they didnt believe any of the lies the Empire produced with that damn newspaper. Oh, speaking of newspapers, from what I remembered from a report from Shatureins spies, one of Saoris students was actually responsible for creating the newspaper printing press and also for the newspaper defaming me as an ally of the grimgarians. Sure, the church probably misconstrued the story, or outright lied, but reading it calling me a menace did make me a bit angry.

Not only did it attract dragonslayers and make my existence known to them, but now the Empire had a bad impression of me. It made it far harder to negotiate with them until my reputation was cleared. Idols shouldnt get into these issues, and Ive been a good girl wherever I went, but this was just the problem with the media. Always targeting cute girls like me!

Well, it doesnt really matter now, considering ya goal is deep in the ground, lass. Only think about finding them, hopefully ally with them, and dont get into any problems, Grimnir reassured me and helped me refocus with a hoarse voice, before he banged his hammer on my chest. However, it didnt hurt as a loud metallic sound was produced. You like it?

I LOVE IT!

I smacked my chest with both of my hands, one again producing that metal sound. With a wide smile, I looked down at my torso. I couldnt see my usual adventurer clothes, as they were hidden behind a white-black chestplate with red and gold tints. A dragon head emblem with flames formed in a crescent moon was embedded on the left side of my armorthe Kargryxmor clans sigil.

Sadly, as Grimnir mentioned, there was only enough rhytilic alloy for the breastplate. Normally, it would have been enough to create another exosuit like Ellaines, but in my case, I needed it for my dragon form. And, outside of Mom, I was the largest member of Aurora. Similarly, I was also a member who couldnt get any armor as, once I transformed, anything not moldable or made from mana threads would just break.

This was why the form-changing rhytilic alloy came into play, as it had a dormant form as my dragonewt breastplate, while its unleashed one could cover up my entire dragon torso. This not only increased my defenses, but also protected my two hearts. My actual one and my sun core. My VifiYok fight proved that, if somebody were to target it, it could break and that would really doom me.

Identify.

Crimson Dragon Princess Exoarmor: A rhytilic armor made using materials from a [Sunfang Dragon] and [Violetshock Kirin-Dragon], vastly increasing both fire and arcane corruption resistances. Laminated with cockatrice feather resin, reduces the effect of anti-draconic blood coatings, while also preventing dragonkin pheromones from spreading too far. By ingraining a [Sunfang Dragon] solar core into its creation, allows absorption of solar energy and will glow a radiant crimson if mana is channeled through the armor.

Intelligence Power: 29

Vitality Power: 3080

Wisdom Power: 3090

Skill: [All-Damage Reduction Lv. 1] [Inferno Resistancel Lv. 8] [Lava Resistance Lv. 8] [Terra Resistance Lv. 5] [Lightning Resistance Lv. 5] [Arcane Corruption Resistance Lv. 10] [Water Weakness Lv. 5] [Ice Weakness Lv. 5] [Mana Conductor Lv. 10] [Mana Efficiency Lv. 10] [Aerial Fighter Lv. 5] [Mid-Air Maneuvering Lv. 8] [Durability Reduction Lv. 10] [Wind Pressure Nullification] [Explosion Pressure Nullification] [Anti-Draconic Resistance Lv. 5] [Pheromone Reduction Lv. 5] [Rhytilic Alloy Transformation] [Solar Energy Absorption: 0%] [Sorcerers Power Lv. 3] [Prime Vigor Lv. 5] [Sages Wisdom Lv. 5]

Rune: [Dhuinn Rune: Fearless Defense] [Utility Rune: Weight Reduction] [Utility Rune: Mana Leech] [Defense Rune: Pavise] [Defense Rune: Auracoil]

Armor made from not only my but also Siss materials, meaning that not only did I have my usual defenses but the armor also reduced arcane corruption accumulation. Considering how much mana I use up during a fight, especially through my supportive songs, this was a real boon. Honestly, I could kinda understand why dragonkin slayers existed when a smith like Grimnir could produce something like this.

One of the broken solar cores I had lying around was used to make this armor, allowing the armor to act as a secondary solar energy source if I ever needed it. Sadly, it couldnt store as much solar energy as my ever-growing core, but if I ever ran out of solar energy in my core, I could use the armor to refuel it. Accidents like me overheating shouldnt be possible any longer, as long as I kept my core safe.

Aside from the amount of benefits already clear to see in the description, I was especially excited about Grimnirs prized creation in the form of this [Dhuinn Rune: Fearless Defense]. Called the epitome of rune smithing, dhuinn runes consumed three rune slots all at once and only one could be embedded onto a piece of equipment. Since we used my blood to make them, I had seven total rune slots available in total.

Fearless Defense: Turns the vitality and wisdom bonuses on the armor into strength and intelligence respectively. These stat bonuses will count as base stats for buffs and magical effects. Mana is continuously consumed until turned off

Not only was the creation of dhuinn runes strenuous on a blacksmiths voice and bodythis was why Grimnir had lost his voice and sounded extremely hoarse right nowbut they also required an object large enough for it to be placed on. It couldnt be placed on smaller weapons like rapiers or lances, or stuff like gauntlets, as such. Mine, for example, had to be placed on my back, underneath the open slots for my wings.

Thankfully, the effects of the rune did excuse its more problematic requirements. While the rune itself sounded pretty since it added over 3000 in my offensive stats once activated, the actual benefit was the fact it counted as a base stat, meaning it stacked with my numerous buffs like [Symphonie des Feuergottes], [Solar Beam], [Prayer], and my spell songs.

Speaking of the other runes, they were really the standard ones dwarven smiths usually placed on their equipment. Pavise, auracoil, and mana leech to cover defensive utility, while the weight reduction rune was actually a necessity in this case. Just a reminder, this armor was made to transform into my dragon form, meaning, there was a ton of bulk condensed into this human-sized armor piece.

For reference, if the rune wasnt active, it would be like strapping literal boulders onto your body and trying to run around with it. It was impossible for a normal person to wear it, let alone walking around without breaking your back.

And now, the finishing touch. Grimnir smiled as he opened a box, revealing a beautiful red catalyst. Gently placing it in the middle of the breastplate, the alchemical stone looked like a simple gem to elevate the luxurious status of this already illustrious piece of armor.

This was my third catalyst, and it was made from another one of my broken sun cores to act just like my armoras an additional solar ray absorber. After all, my destination now that my concert was over was the rank B dungeon [Menagerie of Golem].

Core of the Sun: A simple catalyst made from the solar core of a [Sunfang Dragon], allowing the owner to store a massive amount of mana and some solar energy for later usage

Owner: [Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

Skill: [Inferno Amp] [Sacred Amp] [Solar Energy Absorption: 0%]

I hope itll be useful, Lady Hestia Ooh, it didn't turn out too well, huh? Tasianna grimaced after Grimnir finished putting my armor on for me, looking mortified while still wearing the idol outfit for our concert as an idol group.

However, I shook my head, telling her it was all fine for her first real go on making a catalyst all by herself. After all, when she made Saoris and my catalysts, she had the help of a meister alchemist in the form of the dark elf Krymdar. Neither Cernust or Rita knew how to make one, so this was just another step in her journey as an alchemist. I was proud of her.

Heart of the Volcano Catalyst: An alchemical orb created using the volcanic heart of a [Volcano Furnace Volchark]. If mana is registered to this catalyst, it will levitate and float around the owner using stored mana. An aura is emitted from this catalyst, reducing any fire or lava element damage by 50% against the owner. This reduced damage will be turned into Health for the owner. Significantly reduces Health, Mana, or Stamina cost of any fire elemental attacks and its compound elements.

Owner: [Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

Skill: [Resource Efficiency Lv. 8] [Magic Power Enhancement Lv. 8] [Chant Revocation Lv. 10] [Flame Furnace Aura] [Cast Activation Speed Increase Lv. 7] [Inferno Amp] [Lava Amp] [Artillery Spell Enhancement Lv. 1] [Explosion Spell Enhancement Lv. 1]

Enchantment: [Flame Accumulation] [Heat-Mana Transmutation] [Spell Song Amplification]

This was my primary catalyst made by Krymdar with Tasiannas assistance. There was a night-and-day difference, of course, but Tasianna didnt have his years of experience.

Zazail Orb of Sealed Shadows: A black orb that can absorb a tremendous amount of mana for future usage. As a catalyst, it would prove to be an inefficient tool as it cannot aid the magician in their spell cast, however, as a source of mana, it is an ideal tool. The true power of this orb was sealed by the God of Darkness, Marsven, preventing anybody from releasing its true power, so it is safe to use

Mana Capacity: 10000/10000

And this was my third catalyst, which usually acted more like a mana battery to help others fast travel without dying from the insane mana costs. It was just a more elaborate mana potion, essentially.

However, that was exactly why I was bringing it with me to the dungeon. No sun meant no constant solar energy to feed me, which meant mana potions, dragorades, and catalysts like these gained in value. Honestly, for the dungeon raid, Tasianna and Grimnir were probably the most important contributors.

Thats good to hear. Tasianna let out a small sigh of relief, before her face suddenly beamed up, again. Thankfully, these have turned out far better.

Major Health Potion: A very potent health potion

Major Mana Potion: A very potent mana potion

Major Stamina Potion: A very potent stamina regeneration potion

Hmph.

However, I only had to worry about her once it was the tenth. Until then, it is training time.

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
