Training Gear

With his deep breath Daedalus gathered up enough oxygen to begin the process of melting the dead star core. Within moments a beam of fire had been trained on the metal causing it to incredibly slowly light up.

As he trained this beam of fire on the metal for longer his fire was slowly changing colours. The fire Daedalus was using was his second best, the Nine Star Desolation Fire, it was incredibly powerful and had the same attribute as stars. As it had the same attribute what Daedalus was doing was actually reviving the dead core.

Of course he wouldn't allow the core to fully revive as that would mean that it had turned into a flaming ball of gas. So he would be only half reviving it, which would mean that after it cools it will revert to the dead star core metal, only it will be in the preferred shape.

And so Daedalus slowly liquidised the dead star core. This resulted in violent bursts of heat that sealed to restore the life of the core. Though Daedalus had read about this before it was awe inspiring in person, it was like miniature solar flares.

This is when the real difficulties occured in most cases. Other blacksmiths would have to dodge the solar flares coming off of the now liquid metal. Daedalus on the other hand only had to shape the liquid into the desired shapes.

So he did just that, using his immortal energy Daedalus lifted a small part of the liquid and made a cast in his energy so that it woul be completely shaped. This was unsurprisingly difficult as he had to make sure that the liquid stayed as such and also make sure that it completely filled out the cast.

Eventually though Daedalus was done with his first gauntlet. Daedalus had of course decided to make pieces of armour for specific parts of his body so that it would give an equal amount of stress to his entire body. This resulted in him deciding to make a set of gauntlets and boot as well as a belt and a shoulder piece.

After having completed one Daedalus slowly did the same with each of the other pieces. The belt was the most interesting as it was several smaller parts that would be connected together later using his own scales.

Now with all of these made Daedalus made sure they where hot enough before slowly engraving the rune scripts he had designed for each piece. These rune scripts where basically gravity runes with a large number of runes simply to ensure safe use. This was incredibly important as even without the gravity runes there was a gravitational pull from even a pebble of dead star core, let alone a full gauntlet.

So with much effort and about two days, Daedalus had managed to set up his training gear. It even gave him the idea of using it during the competition, then he could take it all off and show off his strength. After thinking this Daedalus silently admonished himself for his immature behaviour.
