Chapter 972 New Equipment For Little Nyx
Chapter 972 New Equipment For Little Nyx
We were currently sitting over the rooftop of a fancy Inn with an even fancier and more expensive restaurant. Our appearances completely different than our real forms thanks to the Illusion Magic conjured over us. The powerful witch hat I made came in handy with this too. I combined simple illusion spells with y Spell Hand Gloves and made for fantastic illusion veils that changed our appearances quite a lot.
"Mama, when are my gifts ready? The week\'s coming to an end already!" Nyx asked, while eating chocolate ice cream.
"Oh, your dress and axe?" I asked. "Ready!"
"W-Wha…?!"
Nyx was shocked when she saw me taking out a cute black dress and a huge axe out of my Shadow Realm and giving it to her right in that moment. Indeed, I just finished making them. I received a couple of System notifications as I did, making Nyx gasp in surprise and happiness.
Ding!
[You have created the [Umbral Shadow Dress of the Eternal Night: Achlys (S+++ Grade)] x1!]
[You have created the [Abyssal Shadow Battle Axe of Demise: Chaos (S+++ Grade)] x1!]
[You earned +500.000 Skill Proficiency!]
[Several Crafting Skills have Leveled Up!]
The dress was of the colors Nyx usually worn, which were black and gold. It was clear black, with some gold here and there, in the shape of stars and moons. It emanated a powerful soul of its own, very similar to my Hecate, as it possessed a true name.
And lastly, her giant axe, exuding a purple and black glow, and unleashing a powerful Aura of Death, Phantom, Void, and "Demise", the powerful Divine Concept my daughter had somehow acquired, which I was able to transfer a bit of it into both items through her Phantom Crystals, which she carefully imbued with this power over the course of the last days.
The axe was twice as big as her body height, nearing two meters and a half. It also had the power of growing larger by absorbing her Mana, so it can easily match with her own body as it transforms into a dragon, similar to my own weapons too! Also, her dress can expand and turn into cure magic threads, so it becomes a black armor over her body when she turns into a dragon.
This way, I can further protect her from deadly attacks she might get, like it happened when the damned Warlocks trapped us in that Void Realm, and she almost didn\'t survive. I am still regretting what happened back then. I got a title that protect us from being abducted now, but even then, I am still full of insecurities. Even if Nyx didn\'t ask for these, I would have still made them.
"Do you like them? Mama made them with all her love for you." I smiled.
"I love them! They\'re so cool!" She said happily. "This axe looks like a half moon too, so awesome! Mama I want to put the dress on!"
"Sure, let me conjure something on you then." I smiled, conjuring a veil of the night over her, so she had the privacy to change.
Once she stepped out, everyone gasped. She looked utterly stunning and adorable with that dress. It shone brightly with the gold pieces, as if she was surrounded by little golden stars and her dress had become the night. Just like her name, Nyx, like the Greek Goddess of the Night.
"I feel so much stronger with this dress now, mama!" She was very happy. "And this powerful axe…! I\'m going to use it to beat all the baddies!"
"Both the dress and the weapon gained names?!" Lucifer was shocked. "Amazing, with that… Maybe she could really be well protected now. Are they sentient?"
"To an extent yes, they\'re newborn living weapon and armor." I nodded. "They have already soul bonded with her, so they will give up their life to protect her. I can rest assured now, at least a bit, that she\'ll be safe even if we can\'t be by her side at all times…"
"Uwaah!" However, Nyx ended tripping down due to the heavy axe and hit the ground with it, a loud clank sound resonated.
CLAAANK!
Thankfully we were alone in the rooftop so nobody noticed anything, and I had conjured a sound deafening barrier just in case someone would hear our conversations. It was named [Phantasmal Sound Absorbing Barrier] and used real phantoms to absorb sound waves.
"Nyx! Be more careful, girl. You almost made a commotion." Lucifer reprimanded her. "I told you such a big axe wouldn\'t be good for you."
"No, no! I can do it, papa! Trust me!" Nyx was brimming with her usual confidence, beginning to practice her axe swings.
"How about we practice a big inside my Shadow Realm, dear?" I asked her. "I\'ll bring some Undead so you can use them as practice dummies too. Let\'s go. We only have a couple of days before we have to start our raid, so let\'s practice as much as we can."
"Oooh! Nice!" Nyx was really into it, quickly jumping into the Shadow Realm with me.
This was a "realm" within my own shadows connected to my soul. It had been formed as I evolved. From a mere pocket of darkness into something even larger than I could have imagined. I usually store living beings and Undead here, because my Inventory can\'t really store living or undead inside of itself.
In there, Nyx charged towards me without even waiting for a single second, knowing her mom was very strong, I quickly took out both of my own weapons, parrying them as she came. Explosions of Darkness, Phantom, Death, and Demise echoed across the Shadow Realm.
Well, this girl\'s sure intense.
