Blood's power (1)

"Billy, can you make one of those gauntlets for me again?" Icarus asked. "I think they will help me cause damage faster and save mana."

"I guess it can't be helped…" Billy said and then sighed.

"Wait, aren't you going to ask me to pay for it first?" Icarus asked.

"No, it is fine," Billy replied. "This is to make you a bit more useful, after all. So, I will gain something out of this."

"That makes sense, but it is annoying to hear it…" Icarus said.

"I guess a pair of gauntlets made of chromium will do the trick, but since that will consume too much mana, I will use the scales of the tyrants," Billy said. "Go fetch some of those from the bodies we just left behind."

"You can make chromium using magic alone?" Meryl asked.

"Yes," Billy replied.
