[The Subcss Skill: [Sewing (D): Lv1] has Leveled Up!]
Not only did Vd level up all his manufacturing Skills after improving Chris’ equipment, but he even learned a Skill he had been aiming for a while now: [Sewing]. As long as he activates this Skill while sewing clothes, threads, and fabrics of all kinds, he’ll receive a bonus of dexterity and improved quality for the resulting product.
“I really like this!”
As Chris put on the clothes and spun around in midair, an aura of blue essence, phantasmal in nature, slowly started to emerge from his clothes. At first, he didn’t really notice, but the blue-colored mist became more promi, enpassing him.
“Ugh, this is weird; what’s this?” he wondered. “And it got cold out of nowhere.”
“Oh, that must be the effects of the Phantasmal Obsidian Steel in effect. Iing." Vd nodded. “Let me check the set’s description.”

“Oh, seeing the eem status is really amazing!” said Chris, as he noticed Paul c the “{Description}” area of it due to the embarrassment he felt.
As he did, Vd analyzed the item; it was just as he p to be. At least in terms of power. He had tried to imbue a spell to ect the equipment, and he succeeded. Not only did this make it so that all the equipment shared a single pool of durability, but it also made it possible for the spells to be jured at any time.
However, what he did not expect was for Chris to get some sort of divine prote ability, proteg him from a lethal blow once a day! And it even summoned a one-hour phantom wolf to protect him?
Wasn’t the equipment he made way too plex for the material quality?
Paul couldn’t wait to see what else he could make once he acquired actual high-quality materials.
“As you see, the top, shorts, and boots have their own spells; all of them are for you to get a little stronger,” Vd expined. “Rock Skin enhances physical defense; Winds of Speed increase your movement speed; and Fiery Might increase your attack power. Be careful that it uses the Ara of the equipment; the buffs usually st for a minute.”
“hanks a lot, dude; I really owe you a bunch,” Chris smiled. “Now what are you hiding there? e on, show me~”
“W-Wait, no, just close the panel!” Paul tried to stop him.
However, Chris dragged his hand away and looked, and his curious face quickly turned into a teasing smile.
“Heh~” he giggled. “Am I that beloved Incubus?”
“I don’t know why that description appeared; our retionship is purely that of friends or colleagues at most,” sighed Paul. “Now I’ll just finish your stuff and move on to my own things.”
“Okay, fine…” Chris sat on the bed while reading more.
As Vd started w on his trident and improving it, Chris was beginning to better prehend how to use Ara; just like he read, he started using his own imagination and visualization.
He slowly formed every rune he could and then arrahem into magic circles, which gave birth to spells.
"Yeah, this is really plicated,” he nodded. “It is much better to imbue spells into things to use them easily.”
“Yeah, that’s what I did,” said Vd. “Unless you have specialized magic-casting skills from a specific css for that, it’s really hard. I guess I might be able to get a skill like that if I absorb the corpse of a magi."
“You’re sg me a bit,” said Chris. “Don’t talk so casually about abs corpses, please…”
“My bad; keep practig anyway,” said Vd. “Unlike me, your stats don’t decrease all the time, only when you’re hungry for life energy. So magic using your internal Ara would be generally much strohan whatever I create.”
“Yep, I know~ Don’t worry, bro, I’ll carry you,” Chris giggled.
Paul ignored him as he tinued w.
The red-colored trident was a low-quality and rather weak on given to most devils from the get-go. Incubus were a type of devil, so their on of choice was either this red trident or a spear.
Chris got the trident instead of a spear, which wasn’t too bad of a choice, but spears seem a bit easier to haridents tend to be heavier because of their triple pointy ends.
Paul had thought about making it a spear by cutting it down, but he thought that might damage the durability and power of the on, so he only decided to mix it with Phantasmal Obsidian Steel and then embed it with beast cores and runes.
The process was quick as his skills had leveled up a lot, making everything much swifter and more precise at the same time. Whenever he activated the skills themselves, he felt like his hands moved automatically.
“This should be about done.”
Ohe bubbling alchemy cauldron synthesized the trident’s new pos pletely and the on emerged from its liquid, Vd moved on to his sed project, the magic bow.
He used a mold for bows he found in the Heavenly Treasury and researched oo see if there was any information on magic bows themselves. He only found a single forum page of someone who had made one, showing the image and description of his work.
It seemed that people with Runigravement Skills were incredibly ferecious, often requested by top pyers to craft their special equipment.
Seeing the potential of his talent, Paul felt even more proud of his work, and by copying how the other crafter made the magic bow almost step by step while modifying and improving a few things, he was done iy minutes.
Yes, only twenty mihe power of Skills made manufacturing and crafting incredibly quice you had something to follow, such as a blueprint, a guide, or a mold. And he had all of them, so it was obviously fast.
The only thing that took him more time to do was the runigraving; he spent several minutes doing that but mao engrave the spells necessary. He copied the same spells the ic bow had and made them better.
As the bow emerged from the cauldron, Vd nodded with pride.
“It’s done…”

[gratutions! You have successfully synthesized the [Vampiric Devil Trident (A Grade)] x1 and [Magic Bow: Shadow of the Night (B+ Grade)] x1!]
[The Subcss Skills: [Crafting (D): Lv3] [Runigravement (B): Lv3] [Sewing (D): Lv2] have Leveled Up!]
[You have bee extremely profit is of Crafting, Alchemy, and Manufacturing Items. The Subcsses [Apprentice Alchemist] [Runigraver] and [Magic Tailor] have been unlocked.]
[To obtain a Subcss, you must first reach Tier 3 and walk into a Divine Shrine.]
“Iing, so that’s how you get Subcsses, huh?”
As Vd nodded, he quickly called Chris, who was very trated, juring fshes ht light and spheres of darkness. It seemed he had a good talent fht and Darkness Magic. His Heavenly Cranted him an immediate affinity with Life and Light Magid because he was a Devil, Darkness and Curse Magic Talent was a given.
“Chris, I’m done here. Grab these!” Vd quickly gave Chris his rident and bow.
“Huh? Already?!” Chris gasped. “Oh my gosh, they’re so cool! All for me?! You’re pamperioo much, Paul! Do you love me or something? Hahah!”
Chris ughed as he checked the items, very happy to be given all this “free equipment," pletely unaware that Paul po use him to grind as much as they could inside of dungeons. So he needed his only party member to be strong and useful.
But evehat question, even if as a joke, made Paul slightly flustered. He quickly realized that even if it was for a friend, he might be going a bit too far for no reason. Well, there might be a reason why he was doing this for him, but he didn’t really want to even sider it.
“I’m just doing it because you’re a party member; I need you to be strong, that’s all.” Vd crossed his arms; his vampiric charm and serious demeanor made him an eye dy.
“Okay, thank you~” Chris smiled, winking at him. “Anyways, the Trident upgrade is really cool!”
The formerly red-colored trident hly 1.70 meters had remained almost the same size, but it now had bck alloy mixed into it, resembling fmes. There were small jewels embedded in the on, and the forked end was now even sharper than before, embedded with pointy vampiric bat fangs.
“It’s equipped to be able to drain the life force from foes you touch,” said Vd. “Also, look at the bow.”
The bow was almost pletely made of pitch-bck steel, only embedded with a single red jewel, a beast core of the bck wolf they fought at the beginning, and several smaller beast cores too.
Packed with a lot of beast cores for Ara, the magic bow was overflowing with a powerful aura of magic, while the trident had a more oppressive aura of blood within it.
Chris's heart was beating faster; although he loved all of this, the whole iion behind the gifts themselves was what made him feel so fttered.
“He’s obviously lying,” he thought. “Paul, you gave me such amazing gifts; do you think I’m dumb to not realize something’s up? Heh…”
As Chris was thinking about all those things, Paul analyzed the two ons' information before tinuing to work on his arms, neckces, and bracelets.

{Description}
An old trident that was remade anew using high-quality materials, embedded with several useful spells and the ability to drain energy from foes and targets, has bee a on powerful enough to pete with the most prized treasures. However, only the mischievous Incubus may wield the on’s power.
-----
“Perfect, just as I envisioned again.”
The trident was just as he wahe draining ability and all the spells too. He added the Float Spell so Chris could unch his spear and the back. The Stone Wall was a defensive spell if Chris ever needed one.
Blood Absorption would allow him to absorb the blood of foes to restore health; Body Weakening Curse to temporarily slow down and weaken foes; and Lightning Strike to attack as quickly as possible.
They were all Tier 1 Spells though, so their power wasn’t that good. However, Magic Equipment with spells imbued into them grow stronger, and the Spells themselves will also increase their Tiers with the help of a magic bcksmith.
This means that onaterials are avaible, it is possible to Rank Up the Spells and therefore, make the on much stronger!

-----
“Really good, though I am still w why it’s not A Rank…” Paul wondered. “Anyways, Chris, we’re doh your stuff. I’ll quickly tinue doing my own thing now. I would reend you go practice archery outside if you want.”
“Right, yeah… I just feel a bit surprised still; it’s like I just purchased some overpowered item, but it's actually for free, crazy,” Chris said. “You’re simply too hard for me, Paul. I guess I’ll have to work hard not to disappoint you.”
“Simping?” Paul sighed, facepalming. “Just go practice…”
He didn’t want to admit it, but it really felt that way.
His armor base form was almost done by now; only the painting and engraving processes were ahead of him.
“Perfect, we’re almost done here... And as for the rings, bracelets, and neckces, I guess I always use the molds to mass-produce them. I’ll need as many as I fit in my body.”
To make up for his great weakness, Paul decided to rely pletely on his equipment.
