Chapter 213 - Merging Equipment (1/2)

For the next few days, while Randin was busy creating the beast gear for Noir, Ray decided it would be best for him to head out to the nearby hunting grounds. Although the knights hadn't found anything, there was still the chance that they might have missed something.

Ray ventured to each area on a different day, the bug forest, then the swamp and so on. Although Ray didn't discover any advanced tier beasts, while Ray had gone to the swamp, he discovered many bones of dead beasts that had been left there. The swamp was also filled with a lot fewer beasts than before.

”Is this caused by the same beast that was below Avrion I wonder?” Although there was no way to prove it, it had shown the same signs. Nearly every little bit of flesh was eaten clean of the beast, only leaving behind the bones.

It seemed like maybe after the beast had eaten all the creatures below, it started to get hungry and decided to escape.

After no luck with finding any more advanced tier beasts or anything higher, Ray decided to head back to Avrion. It wasn't all bad news though as Randin had announced that the beast gear for Noir had finally finished being made.

When Ray had arrived at the blacksmith area, he was surprised by what he could see. Randin handed Ray over one of the claws he had made. The design looked just like his drawing and also had the black and red colour design he asked for. In fact, Randin even managed to put on the Red wings symbol on the side of the claw.

But there was just one thing.

”isn't this too small?” Ray asked lifting one of the metallic claws.

Randin started to laugh.

”Just you wait and see, this is special.”

The two of them headed to the outside training area and Ray proceeded to summon out Noir. Randin carried out all four of the claws bunched up between his arms and walked over towards her.

”What is the little man thinking?” Ray thought.

Randin then put one of the claws up to Noir's legs and the metallic claw started to glow. It then left his hand and started to form around Noir's leg. Randin did this for each leg until all four legs had been covered.

”I bet you've never seen that before,” Randin said with a smug smile on his face.

”Is there a reason for this?” Ray asked.

”It's quite simple actually and can even be done with human beast gear but for some reason, it looks like the humans have yet to discover this.” Randin explained. ”It requires one to mix in their own blood with the beast crystal before creating the equipment. Then when the user touches the specially designed equipment, it becomes a part of his own body and they can bring the equipment out and take it back in whenever they want to. The only downside to this is, once this process has been completed, only the users whose blood has been mixed In can be used.”

This was useful information for Ray and his party members, it would help them out significantly for fights in the future. There was no need for his army to lug around heavy suits of armour and there was also the element of surprise.
