Chapter 587 Blood's power (1)

"Billy, can you make one of those gauntlets for me again?" Icarus asked. "I think they will help me cause damage faster and save mana."

"I guess it can't be helped…" Billy said and then sighed.

"Wait, aren't you going to ask me to pay for it first?" Icarus asked.

"No, it is fine," Billy replied. "This is to make you a bit more useful, after all. So, I will gain something out of this."

"That makes sense, but it is annoying to hear it…" Icarus said.

"I guess a pair of gauntlets made of chromium will do the trick, but since that will consume too much mana, I will use the scales of the tyrants," Billy said. "Go fetch some of those from the bodies we just left behind."

"You can make chromium using magic alone?" Meryl asked.

"Yes," Billy replied.

Meryl wanted to learn more, but it was clear that Billy wouldn't speak more about it. Why would he when she had nothing in exchange to offer for that Intel? Nevertheless, Icarus went to grab the scales, and Billy wondered if he should make something for Meryl and Lucyna as well. As long as they make the mission easier for him, he wouldn't mind. The only issue was how they were going to use it later, if they cause it problems, then he will have to find a way to get them back, but that wasn't his style.

Lucyna didn't have a really powerful weapon, she used daggers, but since she used a lot of her magic as well, a staff probably would suit her better. As for Meryl, her bow was made of the bones of some sort of giant monster. Probably one of those that Billy saw before being controlled by some illusionists. In any case, giving them weapons would make things easier for him, so he made his choice.

"Do you two want some weapons as well?" Billy asked. "Come to the dark side…"

"You must be pretty tired if you are making that kind of joke…" Lucyna said. "My knives are essentially useless against those monsters, so…"

"I will make a magic staff to improve the effectiveness of your innate skills," Billy said.

"I suppose that will work, even though it isn't my style," Lucyna said.

"What about you?" Billy asked.

"My bow is a gift from someone, so I won't throw it away," Meryl replied.

"What about reinforcing it with the scales?" Billy asked. "It will be the same bow in the end."

Meryl couldn't deny that, and since her firepower needed some upgrade against the tyrants, she decided to accept the offer. In any case, once Icarus returned with the scales, Billy began to work. Much to his surprise, the scales were as hard as chromium, but a bit lighter, so they made an excellent material to make armor and defensive gear.

In any case, it didn't take long for Billy to finish the items since he just connected the scales with a bit of chromium while he was giving them shape. It would be a lot faster to make them melt and reforge them, at least.

Since Billy made them in a hurry, they weren't as good as his glaive, but they would work. Meryl's bow was pretty good if it got "those parameters eve thought Billy just added the scales around it. He could make them level up, but it was better not… At least for the time being.

"No time like the present to test all this, so let's get going," Billy said while the others were trying to check the gear. "First of all, Icarus alone will deal with the monsters on the backline. Don't try to hold back, and learn as much as possible from this encounter."

Icarus nodded, and the others stayed behind when he and Billy left to fight. As usual, Billy dealt with the enemies in the front with his magic spears. As for Icarus, since he didn't hold back on his speed, the tyrants didn't even know what had happened. They just emerged, and then their health dropped to zero in the next moment, and their bodies suddenly got covered in bruises.

"Hmm… this wasn't half bad," Icarus said. "The gloves caused extra damage with each hit. Even without putting much strength, I caused a lot of damage. I guess this is the effect granted by the scales."

"All right, I am the next," Meryl declared, and she clearly was looking forward to testing her improved bow.

Usually, Meryl used Earth magic to make her arrows, so Billy wondered how come she couldn't make it harder and turn into metal. That was the power granted by the titan she defeated, so it didn't make much sense. Still, she didn't have much time to test her skill.

Nevertheless, when she found her targets and shot her arrows, she didn't have to do so many times. Added with her own skill that made the arrows spin a lot while they were flying, she managed to make the heads of the tyrants explode with every single shot. Even though she didn't want for their mouths to open.

After that, Lucyna's turn came, and she just focused on stealing the tyrants' mana and causing damage using her innate skills. Her skills were a bit more complex than the others, and thanks to it, she could steal their mana. At the same time, she opened a hole in their heads without doing anything in particular aside from stealing the layers of flesh to their brain.

"All right, this will do," Lucyna said.
