"First of all, I will fill in my new slot of Armory! I want to learn every weapon technique, so next, it will be Swords!" said Veronica, taking a beautiful sword that held a green hue to its metallic body, it was infused with a green jewel as well, which let the sword release wind blades when infused with Mana. It was a Weapon found inside a Dungeon, a Magic Item with the simple name of 'Emerald Wind Blade', which she had acquired by completing the Wyvern Dungeon and finding a Treasure Chest after many tries.

​​

Veronica touched the beautiful blade with her hand as she mustered the magical words.

"Absorption Healing!"

Flash!

The sword suddenly began to tremble, as if trying to reject Veronica's power, but it slowly succumbed to it and became a liquid material, being absorbed, and assimilated by her armor body in an instant.

Ding!

[The Magic Item [Emerald Wind Magic Blade] [Weapon] has been assimilated and integrated into the Armory Skill's Slot 6!]

[You acquired +50 Agility and Magic!]

"Woah, I even got stats from it?! Magic Items are so rare… If I had more, I would have already absorbed them…"

Veronica could not help but immediately summon the blade again, as the weapon appeared out of her hand, with the same appearance as before, and even possessing a stronger power and magical storage capacity.

"It looks just as pristine!" said Anna, glancing at the blade with great detail and the eyes of an experienced Blacksmith.

"Do you think that we can use these materials to make new Magic Items of our own? Now that I got a ton of Mana, I am confident that we can begin mass-producing these blades for materials" said Veronica.

"Indeed, Veronica! Even when the materials you mass-produce lose a lot of power and resistance whenever they lose a connection with your body and become simple ingots, they're still especially useful and strong…" said Anna.

"That's pretty nice! Now time to absorb the rest, fufu~!" said Veronica with voracious eyes, glancing at the poor materials with flashing crimson eyes.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[The materials [Kelsus' Dark Scales], [Storm Wyvern Scales], [Rock Wyrm Scales], [Storm Wyvern Magic Stone], [Rock Wyrm Magic Stone] and the [Dark Crystal Scarlet Demon Minotaur Empress Living Armor] equipment have been synthesized into the [Kelsus' Sinful Demonic Living Armor of Dark Storms] armor!]

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[The materials [Earth Wyvern Rocky Bones], [Giant Snake Scales], [Earth Wyvern Sturdy Scales], [Small Earth Wyvern Magic Stone], [Giant Snake Sturdy Bones] and the [Ice Crystal Silver Mercury Empress Living Armor] equipment have been synthesized into the [Rock-sharp Silver Serpent Living Armor] armor!]

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[The materials [Enormous Bones of the Rock Drake], [Giant Poisonous Snake Scales], [Giant Poisonous Snake Bones], [Poisonous Basilisk Magic Stone] and the [Great Crystallized Green Scales Manageable Shield] equipment have been synthesized into the [Accursed Basilisk Shield of Reflection and Poison] shield!]

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[The materials [Wind Drake Fangs], [Enormous Rock Drake Claws], [Giant Poisonous Snake Fangs], [Giant Snake Fangs], [Rock Wyrm Claws], [Wind Drake Magic Stone], [Giant Poisonous Snake Magic Stone], and the [Magical Crystalline Blazing Ice Fanged Long Spear] weapon have been synthesized into the [Venomous Fanged Dark Winds Spear of Blazing Blizzards] weapon!]

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[The materials [Strengthened Monstrous Bones with Anir's Bone Marrow], [Storm Wyvern Fierce Fangs], [Storm Wyvern Flashy Claws], [Thunder Wyvern Lightning Fangs], [Thunder Wyvern Lightning Claws], [Ferocious Thundering Scales], and the [Anna's Strengthened Silver Axe] weapon have been synthesized into the [Anna's Catastrophic Thunderstorm Axe of Anir's Bones] weapon!]

[You gained +200 Defense +120 Resistance and +50 Magic]

"Oh wow, so many stats! Could it be because of Anir or Kelsus Fragments? My whole armor feels… normal? I do not feel any changes, but they might be present in the endurance of it… And about the weapons and shields…"

Veronica created new arms which she used to wield her weapons, she had now an enormous and flashy spear, which produced not only fire and icy winds but also now produced a rather deadly poison.

Meanwhile, her shield had the head of a raging basilisk in front, which extended like a wild monster whenever it found a foe to bite, and her newly upgraded ax was able to release wind and thunder whenever it hit the ground… such power and quality was simply outstanding.

"Woah, Auntie Veronica, you're so cool! You're like a terrifying monster!" said Amelia with a smile, glancing at Veronica as her emerald eyes shined brightly in excitement and awe.

"Hm, you certainly look like a war machine," said Anna.

"War machine…? From where you got that word?" asked Veronica.

"Ervas talked about war machines and how you looked like one a lot," said Anna.

"He did… what? Well, anyway, how about you try this material? Do you think that we can make it into an ingot?" asked Veronica, as she produced an Emerald Wind Magic Blade and showed it to Anna.

Anna glanced at the beautiful blade, which was a few seconds ago consumed by Veronica and then reproduced back perfectly.

"It is just as beautiful and pristine… and the durability is superb… Just how much does it cost you to create these?" asked Anna.

"Around five million Mana per blade, their components are very strong, but as long as I have Armory and the Mana, its easy job to make them," said Veronica.

"I see... I guess I should stop trying to apply logic to your feats, Veronica…" muttered Anna while sighing.

"Hehe, I am just as incredible, I guess~!" said Veronica as she took back her shape, leaving the axe over the table alongside the spear and pieces of her armor, all of them would become ingots of different colors and properties.

However, when Anna finally tried to mage the sword into an ingot by melting it through the strong fire, nothing happened…

"Well, it's obvious, it is such a strong material that it is extremely hard to shape it accordingly into Ingots… We would need a strong fire or, couldn't you do something with Golem Transmutation?" asked Anna to Veronica.

"Yeah, it should be possible to an extent, and then also apply Blacksmithing and crafting techniques through it… But wouldn't I end up doing everything then?" asked Veronica.

"That's true, we also want to work with the materials, letting you do absolutely everything in the Kingdom does not really suits my tastes, at least let the forgery to us…" said Anna.

"If strong flames you need, I can help, gihihihi!" said a mischievous voice.

A floating salamander made entirely out of lava and flames appeared out of thin air, it was the Fire Attribute Spirit, Salamander, Amelia's Bonded Spirit.

"Ah! Salamander-chan! Can you help auntie Anna?" asked Amelia.

"Sure I can, Amelia-chan~ Especially if I can feed into Veronica-sama's Mana!" said Salamander, showing its tongue to Veronica with a bit of hunger.

"I see… fine," said Veronica, releasing her Mana into Salamander as the Spirit laughed devilishly and then jumped into the fire, suddenly changing its quality and density, and giving it a strong and vigorous body.

"It's working! It's working!" said Amelia happily.

Flash!

"Gihihihihihi! Now try, Anna-san!" said Salamander.

"Okay…" muttered Anna in surprise, she was fervently trying to get used to the many fantastic things happening one after another.

She put the blade into the flames created by Salamander as she slowly began to hit it with her hammer, after a few minutes, the sword finally began to give it, melting into a bucket until it was finally completely liquid.

Veronica glanced at the liquid as she noticed it had become golden and green colored, both colors twisting around incessantly.

"That's an interesting color… What a weird ingot will come out of it, I wonder?" asked Amelia.

When the ingot was processed, Veronica glanced at them with her Appraisal, noticing that, although many qualities, endurance, and magic storage capacities were lowered, the metal still held many of them nonetheless, and was outstanding amongst magic metals as well.

The other ingots were then processed similarly, the Wind Blade ingot was blue and gold, the Thunder Axe ingot was bright yellow, the Venomous spear was purple, and the shield was green and purple… the armor wasn't possible to be made into ingots even after Salamander used millions of Mana into his flames, this was due to this armor being merged with Kelsus' Dark Scales fragments.

"What should we do with it?" asked Anna.

"I think I got it… it's not that it became indestructible, it's just very resistant to the attributes of magic due to being a fragment of Kelsus… but if I do this…" said Veronica, as she generated a new wind blade and began to quickly make the pieces of armor into dust as if the blade was a saw over wood…

After ten minutes, it was done, a pile of black powder of a mysterious metallic smell.

Anna then put it into the bucket and then to the fire again… the results, it melted properly this time, and due to having been melted, it lost some of its fire resistance, making it easier and more moldable when crafting items.

"I wonder if we can do the same with the raw scales?" wondered Anna.

"We could, but I feel that using my armor pieces might be slightly better, the raw scales can be left to build a different type of scale armor, its useful for the Male Ghouls who have very big bodies, and also to build up shields," said Veronica.

"Anna, I want an upgrade! Give me a Magic Item Body!" roared Anna's Axe-chan.

"It seems that we got the first volunteer," said Veronica.

"I see. Alright, let us begin crafting, I can't wait to try these new materials! Axe-chan might even be able to produce electricity now…" said Anna, as both she and Veronica spent the rest of the day alongside Amelia and Ismene, crafting new equipment with these new ingots while chitchatting.
