Chapter 935: New Quest
-----
As we made our way inside the workshop, I took a glance at the Quest that I had gotten again, the requirements were very loose. I guess I could even make them anything and I might get the rewards. But perhaps that wasn't the intention here. And if the Holy Spirits are the judges, then they'll definitely know if I am trying to trick them.
[A New {Holy Spirit Quest} has been generated: {Make a Little Something for your Beloved Girlfriends}!]
[This Quest has been recommended by yours truly, {Holy Spirit of Love}!]
[Isn't it nice to have some time to relax? And you got such cute and adorable girlfriends with you! Elizabeth, Erika, and Eleanora are always working hard at your side. Why not gift them a little something?]
[Use the materials you've collected so far to create equipment pieces for them of minimum Rank of A! Upgrading their already existing equipment also counts, but you better do an excellent job in that regard.]
[Don't worry, the rewards will be definitely worth the hassle, and even more their kisses and hugs.]
[Completion Rewards]: [EXP] [Skill Points] [Stat Points] [???]
I guess I could even make them anything and I might get the rewards. But perhaps that wasn't the intention here. And if the Holy Spirits are the judges, then they'll definitely know if I am trying to trick them. Though, I can't help but find it slightly unnecessary, those bastards should simply handle the rewards instead of asking me to do something before that.
Though, I suppose I am not completely annoyed by it because I was already planning on reinforcing Erika and Eleanora's weapons, and also making the girls some rings to signify our bonds. They're my future wives after all, I have to give them their rings of compromise to show them my sincerity.
"And we're here." I sighed in relief. "The materials are here stocked, good. We'll use some of what we got in that battle against the demons too." I said, beginning to prepare the forge and the alchemy cauldron.
"Blake what are we making today?" Wondered Erika curiously.
"Yeah I'm wondering the same. Don't you have a lot of great stuff already?" Elizabeth asked. "Also those gauntlets you got… Where did you get them?"
"Ah, these? They were gifted to me by some sort of deity-like being." I said. "It was part of a contract with her. Don't worry, nothing too serious."
"A-Ah… Deity-like being?" Elizabeth's curiosity got the better of her. "Like the Holy Spirits?"
"No, differently." I said. "Maybe you haven't realized yet. But this world is not eveyrthign that there is. There's something else outside, many other worlds. Sometimes, deities from other worlds watch over this one, coveting things. The Archdemons could be said to be deities of their own world, hell."
"I see…" Elizabeth nodded. "And this deity, what is it?"
"A Vampire Goddess with a rather… strong thirst for battle and blood. I give her a part of my experience earned and blood from my foes, and I gain even more power from her in return." I said. "I made sure the contract wouldn't be bad."
"Wow, so that's a thing!" Erika gasped. "Amazing! Can I make a contract with another deity like that?!"
"Well, you're already blessed by the Holy Spirit of Nature, Erika. I don't think you need more than that for now." I smiled at her. "Anyways, let's go to the main topic for now. I brought you here because I was going to forge and reinforce the rest of your weapons. Erika's sword and Eleanora's spear will receive a whole new upgrade using all these materials I got."
"Oooh! Really?!" Erika waved her dragon tail made of wood. "You're the best, Blake! Make sure to make it super duper strong then!" She handled me her huge black great sword right away.
"It is covered in the blood of many demons I see, has a strong curse." I smiled. "It will complain a bit because I'm holding it."
"So that's what you were planning, I see." Eleanora handled me her spear. "Envy is a rather shy girl, so please take good care of her."
"Alright, leave them to me." I nodded.
I noticed both weapons protesting as I held them with my hands. They disliked being held or touched by anybody than their masters, as Cursed Weapons. However, because their masters were agreeing to this, and they knew they were getting an upgrade, they weren't making too much of a fuss, thankfully.
I quickly took out every material I needed and started with Eleanora's weapon first. It was the easiest to upgrade because spears don't possess as much surface as huge great swords after all.
I decided to use the most premium materials I had, including fragments of Beelzebub, Lilith, and Satan's Demon Core Fragments from their Vessels, the cores themselves were enormous, so I had plenty to extract from.
Aside from that, the bones of powerful dragon-type monsters, their blood, hearts, fangs, claws, and horns. Some of their eyes, and also other materials extracted from my Spiritual Realm, such as the materials from the Vampiric Bats and other Vampiric Monsters, for example.
And of course, lots of Mithril and some fragments of Orichalcum, for added power, durability, and strength. The process of enchanting was slow and slightly tedious, as I had to quickly smelt the materials and them combine them in their most primary forms into the spear through alchemic synthesis.
Once that was done, I had to once more forge them and smelt them, and then refine the materials and fully combine them with the "recipient" through Blacksmithing and Creation Skills. The Creation Skill would create something subpar if I used it alone to make the spear better.
However, if I use it to complement the usual reinforcing process and make it much smoother, its effects were truly shown. Although tedious, the spear was fully upgraded after only half an hour, a new record even for me.
FLASH!
It emanated a powerful Demonic, Draconic, and Vampiric Aura, all of such elements being greatly compatible with my Eleanora. It was an ideal weapon for her, which she got since I first summoned her years ago.
"It's finally done…"
