Volume 4 - Chapter 3 – Legendary Equipment? (1/2)

04-03 Legendary Equipment?

「Although I can make basic armour and shields…」

Jin didn’t really feel like putting on such equipment.

「Accessories it is then.」

(TLSilent: not sure about the first few sentences.)

Jin took a Magic Crystal out from a nearby shelf.

「Let’s make a ring or pendant.」

The Magi Crystal in his hand went iridescent,

「Forming…Writing Magic Formula… I wonder if this is any good.」

The final product was a ring that exhibited all the colours from the rainbow.

「Reiko, are you there?」

「Yes Father.」

When Jin called, Reiko immediately came to his side.

「Take a look at this. It’s a guard ring.」

It was the ring that he just made.

「The ring has a complicated Magic Formula written into it. I can’t analyse it.」

Even though she was skilled enough in Magic Engineering to be Jin’s assistant, Reiko was still no match for the Magi Craft Meister in this field.

「You can’t tell? It’s designed to nullify both physical and magic attacks, so I’d like to see what happens if Reiko attacks.」

(TLSilent: I think he’s asking Reiko to attack.)

「It’s too dangerous. You should test it on a golem.」

Reiko was opposed. She wasn’t certain if Jin, with the ring, would be able to prevent Reiko’s attack.

「Hm, it’s as you say. It can’t be helped. Now who can test it?」

Soleil and Luna had their hands full with the mass production of airplanes and ships.

「Who’s available… ah, Peridot is.」

It was the golem in charge of household chores. It’s a modest role, but thanks to that, there wasn’t a single speck of dust in the laboratory.

「Right, let’s ask Peridot.」

So they went to the square in front of the laboratory.

「Okay Peridot, after wearing this ring, you only need to stand there.」

「Yes, I understand master.」

After putting on the ring, Peridot moved a sufficient distance away.

「Peridot, the keyword to trigger the ring is ‘Barrier’ . Try testing it now.」

「Yes, Barrier.」

It wasn’t visible to the eye, but it should have been triggered with that.

「Reiko, start with basic magic.」

Reiko was given the go ahead.

「Yes… Fireball.」

A two meter tall fireball flew towards Peridot. But as they reached within 1 meter of Peridot, its movement becomes hampered and the fireball dissipated.

「Okay, here is the next one. Fire Bullet.」

Dozens of 30cm fire bullets flew forward. However, they were also stopped.

「Hmm, that was good. Reiko, next.」

「Yes, Flame Lance.」

Flame Lance is an advanced magic. It’s powerful enough to even kill a Demon Sea Serpent. But even that magic was stopped within 1 meter.

「Right, it’s effective against fire magic. Next try lightning magic.」

「Okay.」

In the end, It was found to be able to defend against all advanced magic, so Jin was greatly satisfied. In addition, it could also defend against wind and water magic.

「Reiko, that’s enough for magic. Try hitting her physically this time.」

Jin wanted to test its effect against physical attacks.

「Yes, I understand. Here I come!」

First Reiko tried to punch at 10% power, but her fist stopped 10cm away from Peridot.
