200 Heavily Refined Equipment Part 1 (2/2)

Even if the god’s ring which belonged to Lex and all the spatial equipment Saleen owned were combined, they still could not store all those items.

At first, Saleen had wanted to run some errands in hopes of familiarizing himself with Alchemy City and finding out what good materials were available for purchase. However, Lex wanted to build a laboratory so that she could refine everyone’s equipment.

After Sika’s leather armor was slashed open, it could no longer be repaired. And now, Saleen possessed enough materials to help Sika swap out her equipment. The skin and bones from the tiago were good materials to be used in refining armor.

Lex and Saleen embarked on their plan to refine new equipment. Saleen’s alchemy skills could be described as quite poor, so he could only provide minute assistance to Lex and do menial jobs.

Lex separated the alchemy drawings into a few parts, while Saleen helped her to do the most primitive of tasks – treating the materials.

After the bones from the dragon were broken apart, Lex would choose the portion which was most suited for producing armor and Saleen would start the treatment. The first step of the treatment was to use Water Magic to force out the fats within the bone. Then, Fire Magic would be employed to burn the bone. Saleen abided by the drawings provided by Lex and managed to produce a large quantity of bone fragments. These original bone fragments were gathered by Lex before being put into an alchemical machine.

These bone fragments were already very tough, as even a giant axe could hardly damage them. However, that was not enough, because when Sika was severely injured, it had been a weird machete which had caused those injuries. The machete had been put away by Saleen, and now, Lex was going to study it carefully to find out its secrets.

The arrangement of the serrations on the machete’s blade were in full accordance with the rules of Current Cutter, a level-4 spell. As long as the blade had enough speed, it would even be able to cut through dragon’s skin.

Such vicious weapons were uncommon, and a person needed to at least be a grade-8 sorcerer in order to produce them. After Lex had refined the bone fragments, she proceeded to use the alchemical machine to slice the fragments into thin films before sewing them onto the dragon’s skin. Hence, an exquisite leather armor was created. However, this armor could still not resist a true magic blow. Once the dragon’s spirit was lost, the strength of the dragon’s skin and bones would be severely diminished.

Lex began crafting a belt for this set of leather armor. The belt was crafted entirely from the tough bones found in the dragon’s paws, and the segments were connected by the tendons of a magic beast. In addition, Lex had put a magic array on each piece of bone. The magic arrays had been obtained from the skull of the behemoth back in the forest in the hell of god’s punishment.

The functions of the magic arrays were to stimulate strength from the magic nuclei which were mosaicked into the core of the belt. This was so that the impact received by the wearer would be dispersed to every piece of bone, and the bones would all absorb the impact simultaneously.

The behemoth in the forest had applied such methods to gain its groundbreaking defenses. Even now, Saleen was not confident that he could kill that behemoth using his own magic.

In the future, if anyone tried to use their deceitful powers to attack Sika, they would have to destroy all the bones on her body first.

The refinement process for this set of armor was very slow because it had to be placed within a magic array for approximately a month after it took shape. Within this one month, the magic arrays on the bones had to be connected. Furthermore, different kinds of metal needed to be introduced into the bones to make them tougher while not interfering with the operation of the magic arrays.

The belt was split into twenty-four segments, and each segment was hollow so that a magic nucleus could be installed in it. This was an authentic piece of magic armor. When the wearer was struck by magic attacks, the magic nuclei in the belt would automatically release some energy to activate the magic arrays.

Sika’s cudgel also needed to be refined again. With the dragon’s horns and teeth, the cudgel could be transformed into a real weapon of destruction. However, the material of Sika’s cudgel made it very challenging for it to be refined further. The process would be analogous to cutting through a rock using dripping water, so Sika would need to replace her cudgel with another weapon for the time being.

Sika’s cudgel and a leg bone from the dragon were put into the alchemy array at the same as they underwent transformation.

As the process took place, Lex and Saleen did not waste any time at all. They continued producing new equipment for everyone.

Nailisi’s clothes had been destroyed. Luckily, Lex had an abundance of dragon’s skin, so she made form-fitting clothes for Nailisi. Lex also crafted a dagger from the tooth of the dragon. The dragon’s tooth was hollow as Lex carefully carved a magic array inside of it. As long as the tooth was mosaicked with a magic nucleus, Nailisi would be able to stimulate the magic array so that a razor sharp ice thorn, about one feet long, would grow out of the dagger.

The ice thorn was not sharper than the dragon’s tooth, but its frosty temperature would weaken the target. Even if the ice thorn did not work, it still provided a second opportunity for the user to attack their target.

In the process of crafting the dragon’s tooth dagger, Lex employed a small trick. She made the final form of the dagger into a white colored ring. Nailisi simply needed to activate the power of spatial equipment in order to transform the ring back into the dagger.

Nailisi was extremely satisfied even though she did not like carrying weapons on her body. The sharpness of the dragon’s tooth dagger was second only to her own teeth, and this meant that she would be able to conserve a lot of strength in future battles.

Noticing that the material of the dragon bones was good, Nailisi made a drawing and requested help from Lex to produce a weapon that belonged only to demons. Originally, this weapon had only existed in the demonic realm. However, Nailisi had discovered the weapon when she had inherited her memories, and felt that it was suitable to be made from the dragon’s tooth. Thus, she immediately drew out the method of production for the weapon.
