Book 3: Chapter 46: New Armor

Scarlet

The sun begins to come up outside, bringing my attention to the window, which is leaking sunlight through the closed curtains, marking the beginning of the day as I hear quite the number of people going to sleep. Something Im going to find very difficult to get used to, since Tartarus is overall a nocturnal world. The days here are just as long as the nights are on Earth. Actually, theyre probably shorter in general. Just about six or seven hours each day.

A lot of the demons dont bother going to sleep though, since most high leveled individuals dont really need much sleep. They need rest every day, but not all that much. And it doesnt have to be sleep. Could just be lying down and closing your eyes for a little bit.

Too bad Im not at that point in power just yet. I believe it only happens after you reach Class III, and your mind begins to undergo the reality warp for it.

Yeah, thats right, Tar confirms my thoughts as I return my gaze to the canopy above me. Class I reality warp is to change your body to fit your magic, Class IIs is to perfect your body both in appearance and physical form, and Class III is to improve upon your mind, enhancing your magical senses and making it easier and faster to think. Then Class IV begins to infuse your reality deeper into your body, giving you a natural protection against any form of mental or reality attacks. And Class V finishes that process while also granting a powerful increase in all your multipliers and warping your body one more time to be perfectly in tune with your magic.

Right. So I just need to make it to Class III to no longer have to waste my time sleeping.

Actually, come to think of it, you dont have to eat at Class V, right?

Tar glances at me before landing on my chest and curling into a ball as he answers, You dont.

Right. Now I really want to reach Class V.

Huh. Sentimental much?

The armor your wearing can be repaired using blood of any type, including the blood you have in your blood bank skill, and it can also be enhanced with that blood as well to grow more durable, he immediately gets into describing the benefits of the armor. Then he points to the armor plating over my hips, bringing my attention there as he says, There are two storage spaces in the armor that you can use, and theyre both there. Simply speak the command word and it will open the pockets for you. You can also change the command word by using the current command word and saying Change.

I pat down on my hips, but I dont find anything, only for him to add, The current command word is just open so change it to whatever you feel comfortable with later.

Open, I state, and two small slits open up in the side of the hips leading into some sort of red vortex. Cool.

Last but not least, at least for me, the silk underneath the armor plating is enchanted to simply pass on any damage done to the silk to you when the armor itself is destroyed so that the silk cant actually be destroyed, he says, making my eyebrows rise as he scratches the back of his neck. Mostly to make sure your armor isnt completely destroyed, leaving you exposed.

I almost chuckle at that, instead thanking him. Because that is a rather nice enchantment.

Not like I was expecting silk to be able to handle an attack anyways. And thisll maintain my dignity in case the rest of the armor is broken.

I have to admit, it really is better than my old armor, I state while glancing at the mirror again.

Of course it is, Leonidas scoffs, making the corners of my mouth quirk up.

Prideful old man.
