Try It While It’s Still Warm
"Get stronger? How do you plan to get stronger?"
Mo Shuying looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka. So, Chaldea's last remaining Master has developed a desire to become stronger.
"I want to be like you, Mr. Mo! Being able to defeat Heroic Spirits with just my fists—that punch that took down the enemy Assassin was so cool!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes were full of admiration and longing. A Master being able to defeat Servants themselves was simply fantastical, like Tang Sanzang personally fighting his way through the eighty-one tribulations.
"You want to become like me? I'm sorry, but while I do have training methods, they probably aren't suitable for you."
Mo Shuying's daily training was actually quite basic—exercises that anyone could stick to. These didn't contribute much to his strength. The key to him getting stronger every day was the enhancements he received after completing his daily tasks.
"Oh…"
Hearing that Mo Shuying's method for getting stronger wasn't suitable for them, Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression showed some disappointment.
Mo Shuying looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, then stroked his chin and said,
"You're actually doing quite well already. Providing support to Mash and giving precise commands—that's really commendable."
During the daytime battle, Fujimaru Ritsuka had performed quite admirably, proving to be a very competent Master. But it seemed they weren't satisfied yet.
"I'm still far from it. I can only provide Mana support. Look at the Director—that's true support."
Clearly, Fujimaru Ritsuka had been motivated by the Little Director, believing that a Master who could also defeat enemies was the definition of true support.
There was nothing wrong with that, really. If a Master could take care of all the enemies, wouldn't that be the strongest form of support?
"She's been practicing Magecraft since childhood, and you've only just started a few days ago? Your talent is good. If you're given time and quality instruction, your achievements won't be much worse than hers."
Mo Shuying gave Fujimaru Ritsuka a very high evaluation. This girl had terrifying potential.
"Oh, I'm not as amazing as Mr. Mo says…"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's face turned red again. They had never been praised like this before.
Mo Shuying thought for a moment, then said,
"You don't need to rush, really. Take your time. You should believe in your own potential. However, it's true that in the current situation, you need some means of self-preservation. It just so happens that Mash helped me collect some materials during the day. I promised to give you some, so I'll make them into magical items. Let's see if there's anything suitable for you."
Mo Shuying got up and, under Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze, returned to his tent. Inside, Li Shuwen was seated cross-legged, meditating and practicing his internal energy.
Li Shuwen didn't pay attention to Mo Shuying, and Mo Shuying didn't disturb the old man. He switched to the Caster Class Card, then took out the Wyvern materials and began crafting in a corner.
Hohenheim possessed EX-ranked Item Creation, so Mo Shuying could make many things.
He casually picked up a Dragon Tooth and began crafting. A few minutes later, a Dragon Tooth Dagger appeared in Mo Shuying's hand.
This dagger was very short, with a fifteen-centimeter hilt and only a fifteen-centimeter blade.
This was just a semi-finished product. Mo Shuying took out some other materials and continued crafting. Finally,
"Not bad…"
In Mo Shuying's hand, there was now a C+-ranked Mystic Code.
This was a Dragon Tooth Dagger, with a Philosopher's Stone refined from a Dragon's Heart at its hilt.
This Philosopher's Stone was only D+-ranked. It had the effect of continuously absorbing Mana from the air and then providing a small amount of Mana to its wielder.
Because it was D-ranked, it couldn't achieve the resurrection effect of bringing the dead back to life, but it could perform a healing Magecraft effect, restoring the vitality of one or more targets. However, after use, the dagger would become temporarily useless and require seven days to cool down before it could recover.
Aside from the power of the Philosopher's Stone, the dagger also had the ability to perform ranged attacks.
Flames and wind blades—these were the powers of the Wyvern.
Waving the dagger could release wind blades, and aiming it at a target could release fireballs.
The power of both depended on how much Mana was infused. At its strongest, it could reach the power of a three-verse Magecraft chant, which was truly not low.
Mo Shuying was very satisfied with this Mystic Code.
Although it was only a C+, a rank that Hohenheim himself would shake his head at, this was the first Mystic Code Mo Shuying had made with his own hands. It would surely get better in the future.
As for the ownership of this first Mystic Code, Mo Shuying had already decided.
"Gudako!"
Mo Shuying walked out of the tent with the dagger and called out to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was by the bonfire, immediately stood up and ran towards Mo Shuying.
"What is it, Mr. Mo?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's face was full of curiosity. Then, they saw Mo Shuying present the dagger in his hand to them, smiling as he said,
"Try it. It's freshly made, still warm."
Fujimaru Ritsuka paused, then instinctively reached out and took the very tactile weapon.
"This is a C+-ranked item. It can release two types of ranged attacks and can also be used once for a healing spell. However, this healing spell can only be used once in a short period. After use, the dagger will temporarily lose its Mana and will need seven or eight days to recover."
Mo Shuying explained to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who almost dropped the dagger when they heard it was a C+-ranked Mystic Code.
"This, this, this, this!"
Although Fujimaru Ritsuka had entered the Mage world recently, they knew the preciousness of Mystic Codes, and a C-ranked one was already very high-grade.
"What's with all the 'this'? This is Mash's reward for helping me collect materials. Anyway, I've already given it to you. Whether you want it or not is your business."
Mo Shuying waved his hand and retreated into the tent before Fujimaru Ritsuka could say anything.
Fujimaru Ritsuka stood frozen for a long time before finally grasping the short sword in both hands and pressing it tightly against their chest.
Mo Shuying was busy crafting Mystic Codes. Since he had nothing else to do, he actually managed to create two good items from the remaining materials.
Wyvern Scale Ring
Class C Mystic Code
Injecting Mana allows it to summon a draconic scale shield of light with decent defensive capabilities.
And a Dragon Wing Windbreaker.
Mo Shuying used Magecraft to tan the dragon's wing material into leather, then crafted this windbreaker.
The original dark green dragon hide was transformed into pure black by Mo Shuying, and the Terror Wyvern's wings were also tanned into it. Therefore, when the windbreaker's ability is activated, red patterns will appear, outlining a wyvern emblem.
The Dragon Wing Windbreaker has only one effect:
Flight.
Mo Shuying put on this custom-made Class B Mystic Code for himself, feeling a bit like Jotaro.
Feeling somewhat taller, he stepped out of the tent and injected Mana to activate the windbreaker. Instantly, Mana-infused wind surged, and under Merlin's gaze, Mo Shuying
Took to the sky!
"Oh ho ho ho~"
The windbreaker billowed like dragon wings, carrying Mo Shuying into the night sky. This was a different sensation from riding a Hippogriff or Pegasus; it felt much freer.
He reached an altitude of about one thousand meters. Though he could still ascend further, it was becoming a bit unstable.
Mo Shuying paused in mid-air, gazing at the land below. The view was magnificent. In an era and region untouched by industrial pollution, he could see an incredibly long distance.
Then, a rapidly moving fiery glow caught Mo Shuying's attention.
"Huh? What's that?"
Dizzy and coughing from a cold.
