Chapter 106: Let's grow together
While watching the glowing lake of plasma; instead of keeping an eye on the items or the master dwarves; Yunan could feel the Valyrian dragon, Drogon almost restless to enter the lake, which drew Yunan's attention to it.
An idea popped into Yunan's head, so he ordered the dragon to grow in size and sit on his shoulder, then he fed the bead of the dying spirit heart to it. Drogon was so excited to eat the spirit heart that it swallowed it in one gulp and with the permission of Mina, Drogon dove into the plasma lake and swam inside it while its own scales started glowing and becoming more distinct.
Although Balin was still busy working on piling up treasures, Mina was watching Drogon with fascinating, she even poked, Balin to take a look, but after a simple glance he just muttered the famous praise they had for Yunan "lucky bastard".
By the time Balin and Mina were done, Drogon had came out of the plasma lake looking like it had just powered up into a higher resolution version of itself, it looked more defined in both colour and features. Mina was curiously checking the changes in Drogon while the Black Fate was scanning it, the results were nothing but surprising.
"Name : Drogon. Race : Valyrian (evolved).
Attributes : Strength >> 5000, Constitution >> 5000, Dexterity >> 5000, wisdom >> 5000.
New skills : Enhancer (allows the dragon to help those near it to grow at a faster rate the weaker they are in comparison). Lucky cover (goes unnoticed unless it initiated contact). Note : one lucky dragon.
Yunan decided to keep the results of the scan a secret to himself, even if Mina recognised the evolution, she would not know about the new skills, so there was no need to share information that might cause Drogon to become an assistance tool in Tartarus.
Before the start of the forging, The lucky ritual was performed and Yunan was told to bless the small hill of items that were to be used by spraying them with his mana and imbuing the mana with whatever luck he could spare, of course Yunan only thought about the items melding together and accepting the role of sacrifice to birth something that exceeded the history of mortals. Yunan was also told to push his mana into Drogon while it used its breath in tandem with the plasma in the great furnace.
With a successful ritual and blessings, Balin skipped most of the preparation steps for the different materials by plunging the whole hill of items into the great furnace and flooding in the plasma. Weirdly enough, with the help of Drogon's breath the plasma did not melt the items but instead made a cocoon around them, purifying the impurities and allowing only the best and strongest parts to be used. Soon after a smoldering coal black bolder was ejected from the furnace, the cocoon started to glow white and whatever was left inside was turned into a ball of homogeneous liquid.
"That is the benefit of having a luck ritual before you do anything, you guarantee perfect results, you can feel the lucky aura doing its job" Balin was telling his master about the benefits of the ritual she chuckled at before, while using the spells he devised for the armour set. The items were taking the shape of a full body plate armor, the helmet had a dragons face, while the rest of the parts had scales and spikes in them, those spikes could be used as weapons for both offence and defence.
Beside the armor there were 2 short swords, 2 curved long daggers, a mace, and a crossbow, as the set was getting more shapely, each weapon had its holster built into the armour, the daggers crossed horizontally at the lower back, the short swords crossed vertically along the back and poked out of the shoulder plates, the mace and the crossbow hung on the right and the left respectively,with both handles hanging on the belt.
With the armour fully in shape, Balin introduced a host of enchantments, before throwing ten mana clusters in the furnace as the items started absorbing the enchantments, they also absorbed the mana from the mana clusters when all the mana clusters were depleting, Balin added the last piece he planned on, a 50 meter radius sphere of a spirit stone, a vein that was almost half the age of the planet itself. The armour set did not Syphon the spiritual energy like Balin expected but it absorbed the whole vein into itself.
The armour set then cooled down and all the magic circles and enchantments became invisible to the naked eye, after that a medallion shaped like a thumb sized dragon, appeared on the chest plate of the armour, before the armour disappeared and only the medallion remained. Instead of flying to Balin the medallion flew towards Yunan and rested itself in his hand. When Yunan injected his mana into it, after a nod from Balin, a message popped up in his head "let us grow together."
Yunan and Debauchery left the heart forge silently, it was time for master Balin to explain things about the medallion and no one would take the first words from himself, but Mina lagged behind for a few moments.
Mina later joined Debauchery in sitting in a circle and Balin started to talk, "This medallion is almost sentient, sadly i can not appraise it, only the boy can, however it will take him years to reach that level, so i can only say that the prime goals were reached perfectly, as for the enchantments, i can not say anything. This armour will grow by feeding on materials and monster cores, i tried to make it level 5 so that he can use it immediately, but i do not know the results, we can only speculate, therefore, i am going to make some level 20 armour sets for the rest of the kids, and we can send lucky boy here to his mama, that is all"
As everyone stood up and Fae marched to Yunan to teleport him Mina stretched her hands and a very simple necklace attached itself to the medallion and around Yunan's neck making Yunan almost ram his fist into his throat from the pull by the necklace. Fae then sent him directly to sister Theresa's room.
