Eisen had now finally completed his Demonic Transformation, at least he thought he did, but his title, however, didn't accept this fact yet. And although he didn't know why that was, Eisen didn't care about that just at the moment.

For now, he just wanted to concentrate on adequately moving around with this new transformation, mainly due to these new wings that were reaching from the bottom of his heels to slightly a bit above his head. It wasn't like he was having trouble controlling them at all, and they weren't heavy since they were floating around. But due to them being free-floating he needed to make sure that they were always floating directly behind him, and that was the reason that he couldn't simply turn around with much speed, or generally move around in complicated maneuvers.

The same counted for his tail, of course, but Eisen didn't want to cut up his clothes so that he could connect his wings and tail to his body directly. And he couldn't just take his suit off either since it gave him such an excellent bonus to his charisma, which he especially needed for this plan to work correctly.

For this, Eisen would really just need to make sure not to move too rashly, and if he did, to concentrate on his wings and tail the whole time. With a sigh, Eisen deactivated his transformations and sat back down on one of his chairs, looking around the room as he did.

Bree and Dien were talking to each other while lying in a bed together, Sky was still reading the 'Devil's Spawn' story, and Komer was quietly working on his business matters as well. Kiron, Caria, and Melissa were all quietly preparing for combat if necessary.

While Xenia and Eisen were trying to figure out how to possibly further Eisen's transformation, the High-Elf seemed to have come up with an idea. "Hmm, you said your staff largely increases the effect of your element, right? Does that mean that the fire becomes hotter and the rock becomes harder?"

Quickly, Eisen nodded. "Yes, it's exactly like that, actually. Why do you ask?"

"Ah, it's just because it might be able to help with your transformation. Up until now, you usually only transform with raw elemental manipulation, correct? I get that it may be faster for the raw base, but with everything else added, maybe casting the spells through the staff would be faster and would have a higher effect. And on top of that, if you reach a specific hardness, you should be able to create something similar to a metal with your element." She explained, as Eisen looked at her in extreme surprise.

"Something similar to metal? Hmm, I guess rock is simply an amalgamation of different minerals. Up until now, I've only really been concentrating on the image of extremely dense and hard rock and not any other properties, but if you say that it's possible with magic…"

"Well, your element is the Fire Element and the Earth Element combined at the same time, and each type is weaker than they would be individually, but at your current strength, you should still be able to do it. With the earth element, you are able to create rock with high concentrations of different minerals. They won't turn into metal, as that's an element of its own, but you could create a rock that's similar to the rawest mineral versions of some metals at least. It would make your skin thicker, and more durable against surprise attacks as well." Xenia suggested, but Eisen quickly shook his head.

"It would most assuredly be useful somehow, but my element is meant for crafting, and not for fighting, so it's a lot more useless in combat, so maybe that wouldn't even do anything. And I'm not sure in what way how much I can control my element changes the effect on people when I use my demonic form."

"Hmm, I guess that's true. It's not like your Element has these effects on its own." The High-Elf muttered in deep thought, somehow still dissatisfied with Eisen's 'completed' transformation, while the old man transformed his hand again, playing around with his skin and feeling its texture and composition until he got a sudden idea.

"Wait a minute; I've got it! Xenia, you know enchanting, right? What's its rank?"

Surprised, Xenia looked up at Eisen and nodded. "It's at a low Rank 2 right now, why are you asking? Do you have an idea for an enchantment you need me to help with?"

Quickly, Eisen nodded once more as he stood up and took off his jacket and shirt, already surprising everyone in the room as he revealed the illogically trained, and sculpted upper body of this old man before he then took his staff out of his soul storage.

"You said I could probably cast my transformation like that, right?" He asked, and slowly Xenia nodded once more before Eisen poured his elementally infused mana into the staff. Quickly calling out the names of the different spells while imagining an even harder surface for his rock parts as before, and even hotter flames for his fire parts, before he sat down cross-legged on the ground and activated a few different skills.

First, his two racial skills, as well as his Crafting Space skill for enchanting were activated, before manipulating the spare enchantment needles in Bree's backpack to float over to his hand. Then, Eisen began doing something that probably none of the others expected him to do. He started carving enchantments into the rock-parts of his skin.

"E-Eisen, what are you doing?!" As she jumped up in surprise and a little bit of shock, Xenia looked at the old man sitting there literally carving enchantments into his skin with a needle.

"I'm enchanting myself. Or rather, right now I'm just testing a few things. First, I tried out how well your idea works, and it does work pretty well, and now I'm giving my arm a simple flame enchantment to test out if this will actually work. Since my element sticks out over my skin, in a sense I'm not carving into it, right? It's a little uncomfortable, but it doesn't really hurt either. Anyway, if this enchantment works, then I'll try something bigger out." The old man explained with a smile, which was once more a slightly weird sight considering the action he was currently doing.

But, while ignoring the stares of those around him, Eisen quickly finished the enchantment he wanted to create, and tested it out just as quickly, resulting in a small flame shooting up from Eisen's lower arm.

"See, it works perfectly, doesn't it?" The old man laughed, before quickly deleting the enchantment, while Xenia sighed loudly. "I guess it worked out in the end, but who the fuck could have known that it would work? What if that thing backfired and blew your arm off?"

"I doubt it would have, don't worry about it. Anyway, Xenia, we can now work on some enchantments all over my body, shall we? Surely I'll be able to save them as a spell, later on, so let's hurry up. I've heard that there are free-form enchantments, and they don't necessarily have to be in a circular formation, right? I want you to come up with an enchantment that can even cover my whole body, if necessary, in a way that it will strengthen my charisma as much as possible."

"A charisma strengthening enchantment? I mean, I guess that should be possible… But it's going to take a while, and I doubt we'll finish by tonight." She explained, but Eisen shook his head.

"All you need to do is think up the concept and tell me what to do, and maybe carve the enchantment in the areas I can't reach. I'll do the rest." Eisen told her, as Xenia sighed again, accepting his decision.

"Fine, I guess so. In witchcraft, you're required to use actual long spells. With some of my Magic Circles, I simply translated those spells into a runic text instead of just chaining words together randomly, and some of these spells may be useful. Hmm… Just… Carve this along your inner left arm, along with this on your outer left arm, this along your inner right arm, as well as this along your outer right arm. I'm going to work on the central part on your back and connect the carvings you made to it then." As Xenia explained this, she wrote down different sentences in the form of runic letters on a piece of paper, that Eisen quickly took a look at before starting his work on his arms, while asking Bree to supply him with mana so that he could adequately keep up the transformation for as long as necessary.

So, for a while, Eisen's body became the crafting item to be worked on with the enchantments, but while Xenia was still to finish with the raw outlines, Eisen had already finished all that he was given by the High-Elf to do.

"So, what is next, Xenia?"

"Huh? Don't tell me you're already finished! What the hell, how can you be so fast at this..? Isn't this supposed to be a magic thing?" Xenia complained with an annoyed frown before the old man began to chuckle.

"It's an area where both of our expertise intercepts, isn't it? You're capable of creating formulas for far more potent and useful enchantments, while I'm able to carve the intricate enchantments more precise and faster than you can."

"I guess so… But I still don't want to lose to you! Here, carve these on your palms, and these on the back of your hands." Xenia said in a commanding voice before quickly drawing up some more small enchantment circles on a piece of paper for Eisen to carve, which he then quickly did with a smile. For some reason, doing this kind of thing was weirdly satisfying.

Whether this was because he was directly collaborating with someone he hasn't worked with before, or because this was a working surface that he has never worked on previously, his skin.

This whole collaboration continued for a little while longer, with more and more enchantments linking up to the big picture, where almost all of Eisen's upper body and parts of his legs, and even his cheeks, were now covered in runes or different enchantments. Just as they were finishing Eisen and Xenia saw a notification pop up in front of them¬.

[You created the Fullbody Charisma and Control enchantment in collaboration with Elemental Spirit Summoner Xenia]

[Fullbody Charisma and Control Enchantment]

[Quality – High][Rank - 2]

[Description] An enchantment created in Collaboration between the Omni Craftsmaster Eisen and the Elemental Spirit Summoner Xenia after being placed on Eisen's own body to strengthen the effects that his charisma shows.

The enchantments on the left arm and hand allow for a nearly hypnotizing effect that makes a target more easily controlled by mental effects while being less capable of performing physically. The enchantments on the right arm and hand allow for the channeling of charisma to the user's will so that people who have been grasped by this hand can experience the full force of the user's charisma.

The enchantments covering the rest of the user's body allow for a general strengthening of charisma and the areas that the enchantments are covering.

[Effects] +30 CHA, -5% Mana Consumption for Flame of the Earth Transformation

[Do you want to save the Fullbody Charisma and Control Enchantment as a variation of the Flame of the Earth Transformation?]

With intense surprise, Eisen read through the notifications, before quickly accepting this enchantment as a variation of one of his spells so that he could use it whenever he needed to, before happily standing up to take a look at himself.

"This is quite perfect, isn't it?" The old man laughed out in a loud voice, moving his fingertips over his skin to feel the carvings, before quickly deactivating the transformation and getting dressed again.

Once he felt fully prepared, Eisen turned to his group with a light smile, announcing to them that it was now time to finally make their way over to the Base they were about to raid.
