498 Goddess’ envoy Part 2 (2/2)
These four sets of equipment were not of a very high level, but their materials were precious. They were highly compatible with the fighting styles of the four demons.
Aiwa was given a set of heavy armor. Even though a single piece of metal was not even used, the shell of the red krill had been repeatedly refined. As a result, his armor was still dozens of layers thick. The whole set of armor was filled with a kind of thorn which was exclusive to the red krill. Even though the thorns were slightly brittle, they were razor-sharp. These thorns were the strongest attack this grade-4 magic beast could offer.
If the thorns broke off, they could always be replenished, wastage was not a problem.
Aiwa's forte was his strength, Saleen specially produced a shield for him using the metallized steel rocks from the temple. The shield was almost as tall as Aiwa, it could withstand any straight line attacks.
Aiwa's weapon was pretty interesting, it was a meteor hammer. It actually was not suitable to pair this weapon with a heavy shield. Aiwa could wield the shield single handedly though. Coupled with the meteor hammer, he would enjoy both offense and defense.
Saleen thought of the Silver Grand Swordmaster who assaulted Lex's camp in the past. His meteor hammer was really mighty, so Saleen decided to imitate his weapon.
Luola's forte was long weapons, his skills were in no way inferior to that of humans. Saleen had imitated the Spirit Snake Armor, producing a magic armor which emphasized flexibility. Luola had another advantage over others; his leaping ability was really outstanding. With just one leap, he could jump even farther than Jola. With such agility, there was no need for him to use a long weapon anymore. Saleen crafted a horse-killing sword for Luola. A horse-killing sword could barely be regarded as a long weapon, but its method of usage was similar to that of a normal longsword, it could deal with targets clad in heavy armor.
The magic beasts in the desert would surely have tough shells, otherwise Lex would not have equipped her swordmasters with the armor-piercing short swords.
Tolesi's ability was immense mental strength. He could learn magic, but Saleen had no time to groom him, so Saleen crafted a set of leather armor for him. This armor would not affect his ability to unleash his mental strength. As a demon, Tolesi's strength was pretty great too, so Saleen made twelve pole javelins for him.
The javelins could be used for melee fights, or they could be tossed at the enemy. Given Tolesi's strength, him tossing a javelin would be more horrifying than an attack from a heavy crossbow.
Saleen spent the most effort making Cuisi's equipment because Cuisi was mightier than the other three demons combined. He needed costlier equipment.
Saleen had used his savings of rhenium gold to craft a set of metal armor etched with magic patterns. Luckily, Cuisi was slightly shorter than Nailisi. If he had an eight-yard tall frame, Saleen would have already gone bankrupt trying to produce his armor.
Nailisi told Saleen that Cuisi possessed outstanding martial arts skills and knew how to cast several inborn spells. This was the advantage a demon had over a human, they could possess magic and martial arts at the same time.
Saleen had never witnessed Cuisi in action, so he sought Cuisi's opinion. Cuisi actually gave Saleen a drawing which was annotated in the ancient Myers language.
Most demons knew how to write in the demonic language, but those who could write in the ancient Myers language were definitely high grade demons. Some of the powerful skills and knowledge of the humans had circulated to the demonic plane during the ancient times. Consequently, many demons had learned human skills, and thus learned the ancient Myers language.
When the bloodlines of these demons were passed down, their descendants almost dominated the demonic plane. Even though humans had declined, the powerful demons still had a tinge of fear towards them.
Such fear was only present in the face of mightier humans. In the eyes of a demon, the average humans were actually thought to be less delicious than a magic bug.
Cuisi wanted a soft whip as his weapon. On a real battlefield, no one was seen wielding a soft whip, but Cuisi still wanted it. All the annotations had proved that this weapon would be indomitable on a battlefield with tens of thousands of people.
The soft whip had a length of sixteen yards. Saleen had used colloid found on the red krill, this material was even smaller than a finger. The colloid was refined to become the main component of the soft whip. The mightiest part of this colloid was not its toughness, but its ability to repair itself. Even if the red krill had died, the colloid still retained its properties.
At the end of this sixteen yard long whip was a razor-sharp hook, produced from the teeth of a sea magic beast. This was not the main killing technique of this soft whip. Sharp horns were mosaicked onto the surface of the whip, with a finger spacing in between every horn. These horns originated from the horns of the tiago dragon. Saleen had used the Water Flame Alchemy to refine them into the soft whip.
If one was struck by this soft whip, even their magic armor would be torn to shreds.
After obtaining this whip, Cuisi became more loyal to Saleen, he was no longer as arrogant like he was in the beginning. He knew that it was extremely difficult refining the horns of a dragon in such a short time, even if one was a supreme demon. Saleen only used ten days to craft this weapon for him. In Cuisi's eyes, Saleen was considered a partial expert already.
Cuisi did not like using magic, but he had a spell which was very practical. It was the rare Arrow of Darkness, a dark spell conjured by tapping into the mental strength of a demon. For this spell, Saleen had mosaicked two tiny white crystals into Cuisi's armor, allowing Cuisi's mental strength to recover twice as fast.
Everything had been prepared, what was left was to set off. Metatrin City still had not sent any information over after a long time. Lex and Saleen were beginning to get anxious because the flying puppet recently spotted some cavalrymen from the Tanggulasi Empire nearing the periphery of the Purgatory Desert. If the enemy had discovered the team's tracks, people might be dispatched to this location, which would lead to an unnecessary battle.
