The boots were a disappointment, while not completely useless they really don't have what needed in boots... so I immediately got to work on Arch's Swords which were much easier. Just Flame Magic for one and Feather Storm Magic for the other since I have left over material of that kind. He had a storm type blade before I gave him the curse type blade so he should be familiar with it's use. Beyond that, the blades had some very cool effects!

Sigh... I probably should go over the boots before I go into detail over the sword huh.

Well, ok. Lets start.

The only skill that is useable at all times is ' Heavenly Step ', it's a passive that allows me a worse version of warping... only useable to distances within the range of a dash skill. It is useable to get to higher places though as I can warp straight up or to ledges.

During the day I'm granted a slight speed boost and a slight HP regen effect.

During the night I'm granted a slight overall stat boost and a general increase in all stat affects.

While in liquid substances I'm granted a ridiculous boost in stamina, mana, and health... but I'm not a water mage.

While at 90% health or more I'm granted the ability of flight for 20 seconds, the duration timer resets whenever I'm above 90%... so at full health I have flight to a degree. It's not that good flight, as it only allows me to climb up to 5 meters in the air... but it's useful to a degree.

While below 50% Health I get a 20% HP5 increase. It would be useful if I were a tank... but I'm not... I dont even have that high of a HP5 to begin with, a 20% increase to 10 is only 12.

While over 100% Health, for every 0.5% I'm over capped I gain a 1.5% speed boost. That would be great if I knew how to get over 100% health. All of these affects are not very useful on their own, but together they make a mediocre overall stat boost of varying degrees.

Alright, now that is done I can talk about actually cool stuff, like Arch's new swords. The Fire one is a huge bastard sword that is nearly 3/4s of Arch's height which was carved like an elaborate decoration as opposed to a weapon, spheres of fire flew around the blade with moderate consistency. The Feather Storm one was flat like a claymore, similarly it came with two protrusions likely for parrying or blocking, small sparks broke against the air around the blade and when holding the handle the same happened to Arch.

- " Pretty cool swords, right Arch? "

Arch swiveled the blades around in his hands and calibrated their weight, " It's been years since I've held a proper blade, and I wouldn't want it any other way. These are perfect! Thanks man, I'm really glad your back! "

I smiled and replied " Good to hear, I'm very proud of my new techniques. I assume you want to try them out? "

- " Of course! I'll make proper use of these in the battlefield, cobalt. By the way, I heard you had a duel with Jotun? "

" Yep, ended in a tie. Killed myself using magic that was too strong for me. "

- " Really? Wow, that spell must of been crazy... how many circles? "

" Twenty Five total plus a Chant and a large ritual circle. "

- " That is quite the bit for a non-caster! Even Anise can only get around 15 using a chant and ritual circles... even though she could nearly get 30 without, it's quite impressive! "

I'm not going to tell them they were only level 0... but holy fuck, Anise can do that?

- " Oh really? What tier were Anise's spells? "

" All around level 8 so I remember, but it's been a long... long time since I've seen her do it, Luriel can get 8 Level 9 circles to work together, Melody has casted a level 10 spell before, and the strongest magic I remember seeing was the mage who defeated the Demon Lord. "

OH RIGHT!

Somebody beat the demon lord...

- " Right! Somebody beat the Demon Lord, did you see it by chance? "

" Yeah, I was there. The dude fired a level 11 spell, crazy shit... oh right! You are thinking of Asi right? "

- " It would be great to know about her... it's kind of … important to me. "

" Right. We couldn't find her anywhere inside the castle, we also raided many other places with what little information we had. No leads. But we do know that around two years after you disappeared, a large fire spread throughout the entire demon capital. "

- " Asi? "

" Likely, we got a sample of the fire back at my old house for safe keeping... the stuff never goes out, and beyond that... the way it burns stuff is way different. "

- " Well... that means Asi is out there... not in the hands of some demon, but... that is still worrying... "

" Don't worry, Cobalt. If she could cause that much damage by herself then she should be fine, and also ... your mana still flows to her. "

- " Right... Mana flows to summons... does that mean I could track her? "

" Unfortunately no, but it does mean two things. One, the stronger you become the stronger she becomes as well... and Two, that means as long as we can tell your Mana is flowing to her we know she is safe. It didn't flow to her when she was captured, so that is our theory. "

- " Thanks for the information, I'll remember this. "

" Don't worry about it... and besides, I want her back for you just as much. You were a big part of her life, and I can tell vice versa. What was it about her that made her so special too you? "

...

- " She looks like my sister. "

" I... see. Is your sister... "

- " ... yeah. "
