Chapter 866 Shopping Spree

-----

After buying Nyx every single thing we found cute on her, from armor to dresses to robes to hats, to bracelets to necklaces to earrings and all, we got into weapons.

"Excuse me, small weapons?" I asked the bitter-looking desert elf.

"To the right..." He groaned.

"Thanks~!"This material is rooted in n0velbin★

We moved on to the next things, weapons! We decided to check everything they wanted. Fabian and his friends were all proficient in using magic powers and skills barehanded, but that wouldn't do though, we wanted them to get some weapons.

Silva and Celes too, if possible. Nyx... I don't know if she even needs weapons? She has so many draconic powers that she's better fighting off without one, maybe.

"So what would you like to use as a weapon, Silva?" Asked Catarina. "I know I gave you a knife back then, but maybe something else would do you good?"

"Hmmm..." Silva wondered around the shop, looking for something she liked. "I-I don't know..."

"Hah, oh well, let's see what you are good at wielding." Catarina gave weapons to Silva and started trying out what she liked or could use.

Silva tried out all sorts of weapons, swords, spears, axes, staffs, a halberd, and so on, but she wasn't good at wielding any of them except small wands and knives.

At the end, she grabbed a black colored dagger with a tiny red jewel on it, named Dark Curse Dagger, it'll enhance her magic and help her defend herself if needed.

"Huh, maybe I should grab a spear like mom..." Celes wondered, seeing his mom hold a spear and practice with it a bit, rather well at that.

"Hehe, are you surprised that your mother can wield a weapon?" Giggled Nia. "I used to train a bit with the weapon, your father taught me how to use it rather well, I believe.

"Oooh, that's so cool!" Celes was excited. "I want to use a spear too!"

"It would be better for you to use something less dangerous, Celes." Her mother said. "You'll do better with this blue wand; it seems good for your element!"

"Ugh, fine..." Celes sighed, accepting the wand that enhanced water and ice elements a bit.

As for the other kids, Fabian got himself a magic sword, Spectra a magic spear, Garon some red colored gauntlets, Nick two small axes, and Beery a shield and a wand.

"Thanks!"

Like that, we moved out, realizing the night had already come as the sun descended from the horizon in the meantime it took me to check everything I wanted.

"Well, it's gotten dark already, should we go back to the Inn for now?" Asked Lucifer. "Or should we get to the dungeon right away?"

"Hmm, I think another day of rest for everyone to get completely ready should be good." I nodded. "Let's go take one last break before things get real, shall we? We also need to wait for the water barrel reaction, I've already distributed half the population now, some had found it out and had not said a thing, I wonder if some will make a fuss eventually..."

"Alright! I want dinner mommy!" Nyx said, without really caring about whatever I was saying.

"Haha, fine, I'll cook some food from home this time, to change things a bit." I smiled. "I'm sure Celes will be pleased."

"Yaaaay! I want cheesecake!" Celes was growing slightly spoiled.

A group of black-cloaked men wandered around the dark streets at night, walking closer to the Inn, using magic artifacts to remain unseen and undetected, enchanted with ancient hexes and sorcery.

However, their sharp crimson eyes could be seen beneath their cloaks, very clearly at that, showing what their true nature and beings they truly were.

"They're getting closer, prepare everything."

"The Magic Nodes are positioned, and it is night, sir."

"Once you give us the command, the shard's powers shall be activated..."

The black cloaked men gathered around their leader, smaller and older than them, as he laughed once he heard things were going smoothly.

"Perfect! Our Lord Maleficus will be pleased once we bring him the child!" He laughed. "They are certainly strong if they could defeat those Puppet Paladins even in their transformed states... But things will be a bit different now."
