Punishment

"*Sigh* Although I'm curious where you obtained a divine item such secrets can be kept to yourself.. Although I would try to avoid showing other god/goddesses some would hunt you down merely for the fear they would feel… some would try to extract it for themselves"

Hephaestus finished her glass gently slamming it in the table before slouching back "Can I ask your level?"

Lumas instantly answered "Level two" Hephaestus let out a tired chuckle "Ok come meet me in my office at the Tower of Babel, just ask for Tsubaki… Loki I enjoyed the time although it tired me… Continue another time?"

Loki just laughed as she bounce to her feet "Of Course~"

When Hephaestus left Loki turned towards Lumas her eyes narrowed so far that they might as well be closed

"Sooo~ Lumas" that smile… Lumas feared "Mind telling me where you got the materials for your sword… their not cheap ya know~"

Loki was inching closer and closer "I had thought you were broke but here you go and pull legendary metal from nowhere… Legendary metal that has been lost in time…"

At this point their noses were almost touching, Lumas let out an awkward chuckle as he stepped back "How about I make a sword for Ais and we call us even"

Loki's eyes somehow narrowed further "Using some rather legendary metals correct"

Lumas rubbed the back of his head "Ofcourse ofcourse" Loki smiled patting Lumas shoulder "Smart boy" finished she left the room allowing Lumas to take in a deep breath 'Scary~' Lumas almost laughed at his thoughts as he almost ran back to the forge wanting to begin on his armor

Lumas decided to go with a light armor, mostly made from a grey scaled hide he found in his 'Item Box' alongside Mithril for the scaled chest guard, vambraces, along with a cloak and hood made from the grey scaled hide… he found a way to dye the metal with the leftover resin from burning dark colored beast hide, If any blacksmith worth his name saw this he would cry… Lumas was burning true dragon underscale hide like it was some paper the Tower of Babel would crumble with the blacksmiths beating their head against the wall if they knew, but lucky for Lumas he was oblivious to the true worth of the items he has in his possession.

Returning to the armor it took far longer to forge then Lumas has originally thought, Taking nearly 2 weeks just to shape the metal pieces with the correct measurements to avoid hindering his movement. As for the hide pieces he had to forge an Adamantine needle just to speed the process along, a normal needle wouldn't even scratch the hide while Elunium ones would dull too quickly even a Oridecon one didn't last long

Nearly another week to get everything to the perfect measurements he already has an idea but for it to work it needed to fit perfectly, moving over to the enchanting table he got to work. Never again did he want to forge another set of armor the whole process was mind numbing too much math in his opinion

[Dragonsin (B-Rank - Demonic)

The pride of the smith was forged into this set of armor wanting to make it his last, Through intent each piece of was fused turning it into a set

•Set bonus: Gluttony: The item with this aspect is capable of absorbing and stealing aspects from other items of the same class (Armor)

•Set Bonus: Perfect Fit: No matter the size the armor with this aspect will always fit comfortably

•Durandul

•Unhindered Perception: The hood with this aspect will never hinder the users sight] (A/N: Kinda didn't know what other aspects to include if you got an idea list it with a description)

Lumas was more then pleased with the armor he forged, With a little under 3 months left to the expedition Lumas wanted to finish Ais' weapon before he returned to regular spars with the higher ranked members of Loki Familia, For Ais his idea was a split between an estoc and a sidesword her fighting usually consisted of mainly high speed movements and quick stabs and slashes aimed at whittling away at the opponent, however when paired with her magic 'Tempest' those quick stabs and slashes turn deadly capable of cutting cleanly through most opponents, yet due to this she has to get a new sword every few months depending on how often she enters the dungeon

Pulling out an Ingot of Mithril, Adamantine dust, Scarp Orichalcum, a light yellow almost white wood, and his last catalyst. Lumas was planning on making the core of the blade from Orichalcum to keep flexibility while using Mithril to keep it light the dust was to make an Adamantine/Mithril alloy to strengthen the blade without sacrificing weight with this he got to work letting thoughts of apocalyptic winds tearing through everything in its path fill his mind

Lumas ended up needing two days to finish the blade mainly due to balancing the weight, using an Adamantine cored pommel ended up fixing the issue moving over to the enchanting table he crushed the Magic Catalyst... time to try something new... he then left the blade to fetch Ais

;-;

Ais was in the common room with Bete, Tione, Tiona, and Elfy enjoying a light meal while chatting, Bete was being somewhat respectful mainly due to the fact that the ones at the table were either stronger than him, female, or both

"Ais…" Tione stared at the golden haired beauty. "How far have you gone with Lumas?"

Ais tilted her head confused, she knew somethings but Riveria didn't really explain relationships due to Ais not showing any interest in anyone so far but she was told that Riveria wanted to talk to her after she gets caught up on paperwork "We slept together?"

It seemed more like a question then an answer, Bete spit out his drink as he looked at Ais "Lumas, that fucking level 2? You, you slept with a weakling like him?" The door to the common room opened just as Bete nearly yelled out, Ais had a slight frown on her face as Bete went on and on berating Lumas with every breath

Ais slammed her hands on the table and went to stand up but a hand on her shoulder stopped her, looking up she saw Lumas with a soft smile looking at her except that smile didn't reach his eyes, they were blazing with a violent light "Ais would you come with me?" Ais hopped up from her seat taking Lumas' arm forcing a slight blush to form on his face but he beat it back as he turned his head glaring at Bete from the side of his eye

"You got something to say brat?" Bete shot up from his seat as pointed at Lumas, everyone's attention was on the two Lumas didn't answer him only turning towards the stairs then sighed as he began leading Ais towards the exit but the sounds of rapid steps entered his ears, snapping around opening his 'Item Box' Shadowsteel materialized in his hand and he thrusted out

Bete's eyes went wide as he tried to halt his movements, his feet dug into the floor as he skidded to a stop but the sword didn't stop advancing… a level 2 with speed surpassing his how… as the blade was about to pierce through Bete's neck a thin sheet of black separated the two and Lumas' fist landed cleanly against Bete's jaw causing the light in his eyes to fade for nearly an instant as Bete's whole body locked up

The crowd in the common room burst out into cheers, laughs, and murmurs. They all heard Bete, this kid was supposed to be a level 2 but that was far from correct he had to be at least a level 4, but yet rumors say Bete was approaching level 5, A true testament to Lumas' strength

A loud sigh was heard as Riveria revealed herself at the bottom of the steps "Lumas finish your stuff for the day then return to your room, I'm removing your dungeon rights for the next month" everyone in the common room drew a cold breath, Lumas just grinned he wasn't planning to enter the dungeon anyways he has a Goddess of the Forge to meet "Yes ma'am" Lumas voice seemed empty but Riveria knew it was just an act, as Lumas dragged a slightly frowning Ais away Riveria poured a cup of water over Bete's unconscious body startling him awake "My office now.."

Bete froze before putting his head down, even his wolf like ears drooped some could even swear his tail was tucked

(A/N: Let's say due to the 'Blacksmith' skill Lumas knows what aspects are on an item, same with everyone else with the skill except touching the object is necessary for everyone)
