That Is Not Armour

The next day as Maia and her kinght as Maia was talking to Aiden

Aiden looked at Maia. "Thanks for you help yesterday"

Maia looked at him. "No problem Slime, but anyway I think Celestia will one day like to meet you"

Aiden laughed as his slime Body moved. "Your also welcome, but anyway...about your armour"

Aiden looked at there very revealing armour as the girls were confused, Aiden had to remember that this world was run by Hentai Logic

Brynn then spoke. "What is wrong with it armour it is blessed and made but the finest material"

That word has a tick mark as Aiden screamed. "That is not armour that is biki"

Eveyrone all the goblins, Knight, Inferno Wolf and Tamamo spoke. "Bi- what"

Aiden sighed, realizing he was going to have to introduce the concept of proper armor to these warriors. After all, their current outfits were far from practical in a real battle, despite what they believed about blessings and fine materials.

"Fenrir!" Aiden called out. "Bring the armor sets we crafted."

Fenrir, ever loyal, returned moments later, carrying several sets of armor that Aiden had been working on with the Goblins. These were actual pieces of protective gear: plated chest pieces, reinforced gauntlets, boots, and even helmets. They were not flashy, but they were strong and functional.

The knights stared in awe as the equipment was laid out before them. Brynn, still confused, spoke up, "But... these don't have the blessings. How can they protect us better?"

Aiden resisted the urge to groan. "It's not about the blessings. It's about actual protection. You know, preventing swords, arrows, and monster claws from tearing you apart?"

Maia picked up one of the gauntlets, examining it closely. "It's heavy. Will this affect our movement?"

Tamamo, now standing next to Aiden, smiled and chimed in, "True, it's heavier than what you're used to, but you'll get accustomed to it. And unlike your… 'armor,' this will actually prevent damage."

Aiden nodded, his slime body shifting slightly as he added, "The point of armor is to protect your vital areas. What you're wearing now is more for... well, distracting your enemies. Which, honestly, only works if they're really dumb."

The knights looked at each other, still unsure. They had been wearing their current armor for as long as they could remember, trusting in its magical properties. This new approach was a lot for them to take in.

Maia, ever the leader, was the first to step forward. She took a full set of the new armor and began to equip it. "I'll give it a try. If what you say is true, Aiden, then we'll be better off in real battles."

The other knights followed her example, albeit with some hesitation. As they strapped on the heavier gear, Aiden couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. At least now they wouldn't be running around in something that looked like it came from a beach vacation.

Once the knights were fully armored, they stood tall, looking more like real warriors than they ever had before. Aiden smiled, proud of his work. "There you go. Now you're ready for any real fight. Just wait until you see how much better you perform in actual combat."

Brynn, despite her earlier doubts, twirled her sword in her hand and tested the new weight of her armor. "It... does feel different. I feel more protected, and not as exposed."

Aiden nodded. "Exactly. And trust me, when you're up against something like Great Red or any other big bad, you'll be glad you've got real armor on."

Maia smiled, looking at Aiden with a newfound respect. "Thank you, Aiden. I think you've saved us in more ways than one."

Aiden chuckled, his slime body jiggling slightly. "Well, someone had to do it. Now, let's get back to preparing this village. We've got a lot of work ahead of us."

As the day wore on, the knights trained in their new armor, and the town bustled with activity as everyone worked together to build a stronger community. Aiden couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. They were making real progress, and soon this small town would be a fortress.

Tamamo leaned over to Aiden and whispered, "You know, I think they'll get used to it faster than we thought."

Aiden smiled, watching the knights sparring in their new gear. "Yeah, and when they do, we'll be unstoppable."

Maia then looked at Aiden. "Will I gess we will be going thank you allowing us to stay here for the last few days"

Aiden then looked at Maia. "Yeah I get Your one of Celestain Princess Knight, but can I ask you for something"

Brynn looked at him. "Sure"

Aiden then presses his slimed hand on a building as it collapsed, as the Goblin who was on the toilet fully explosded, the girls looked away

Aiden looked at them. "Our house are good but we are one storm away from total Destruction, so I was thinking if anyone can help from your Princess"

Maia confuses her self and spooked in her Tomboy looks. "Yeah, I know who can, she is another of my fellow Princess Knight"

Aiden smirked internally, as his plan was going right, he was going to meet another person in his list that will help him, and destroy thr Kuroinu plans

Maia looked at him. "Luu Luu is her name and her and I are good friend, once I return back to the capital and I can tell Celestain"

Aiden looked at her. "Very well"

Aiden smiled, his slimy form shifting slightly as he looked at Maia and Brynn. His plan to disrupt Kuroinu's eventual dark designs was slowly but surely coming together. Meeting the Princess Knights one by one, earning their trust, and ensuring they allied with him was key. He had no intention of letting this world fall into the twisted chaos he knew awaited it if things continued on the original path.

Maia gave him a nod, her tomboyish demeanor softening as she recognized Aiden's serious tone. "I'll let Luu Luu know about the situation here as soon as I return. She's a skilled builder and could easily help reinforce your structures. You're right, these buildings wouldn't stand up to a serious storm, let alone an attack."

Aiden inwardly sighed in relief, knowing that Luu Luu's expertise in constructing fortified buildings would be invaluable. "Thank you, Maia. This village needs all the help it can get. We're on the edge of neutral territory, and I don't want to risk the lives of everyone here."

Brynn, still looking slightly uncomfortable after the toilet explosion incident, glanced at Maia. "If Luu Luu helps with the town, it might become a real stronghold. We could use a place like this as a base if tensions between the kingdoms ever rise."

Maia crossed her arms, considering Brynn's words. "True. This area could become vital to maintaining the balance between Celestine's lands and Olga's. I'll propose it when I speak with Celestine herself. She's wise and will see the potential here."

Aiden's plan was falling perfectly into place. If Maia could convince Celestine and Luu Luu to invest in this town, it would grow not just into a safe haven for those caught between the war but a fortress capable of standing against future threats. With allies like the Princess Knights, his village would be one step closer to being an impenetrable defense against the darkness he knew was coming.

Tamamo, standing by Aiden's side, smiled warmly. "It sounds like your town is going to thrive, Aiden. With strong allies and proper protection, this place could become a beacon of hope."

Aiden chuckled, his voice light but his mind focused. "That's the plan. But we're not done yet. There's still much work to do."

Maia mounted her horse, her knights following suit. She gave Aiden one last look, her eyes filled with determination. "I'll send word to Luu Luu as soon as we arrive. You'll hear from us soon. Stay safe, Aiden."

Aiden nodded, watching as Maia and her knights rode out of the village, disappearing into the distance. He turned to Tamamo, a sly grin forming on his slime face. "Looks like things are starting to get interesting."

Tamamo chuckled softly. "You're not just building a town, Aiden. You're building an army, aren't you?"

Aiden's eyes gleamed. "Not just an army, Tamamo. I'm building a future."

With Maia heading back to Celestine and Luu Luu's help soon on the way, Aiden felt a renewed sense of purpose. This was just the beginning, and he was ready for whatever challenges lay ahead. His village would grow, his allies would multiply, and one day, he would stand at the forefront of this world, ready to face the darkness head-on.

Aiden then return to his room, as he went to his mind before he spoke. "Hey great red why do Celestine and Probably Olga are scared of you, from what I picked up and seeing how this area is called a Neutral Area so yeah"

Great Red spoke from with in Aiden's mind. "Why shouldn't they be, I am great red, The dragon of Calamity, destruction, Storm, Nature and Father of all monster and dragon's"

Aiden spoke in his mind. "I still need a clear answer Red"

Great Red's voice echoed in Aiden's mind, a mixture of pride and annoyance evident. "Fine, I'll give you a clearer answer. My very existence embodies chaos and power. Celestine and Olga both know that if I were ever freed from my bindings, I could unleash calamity upon their realms. This Neutral Area is essentially a buffer zone; both kingdoms respect the balance I bring, albeit through fear."

Aiden furrowed his brow, considering Great Red's words. "So, they fear you not just because of your strength, but because of what you represent. Calamity, destruction—those are heavy burdens for anyone to bear."

"Precisely," Great Red replied. "They have witnessed the devastation I can cause. Even in my slumber, my mere presence affects the balance of power in the region. It's why they tolerate the Neutral Area; they don't want to provoke me. Keeping me contained serves their interests, even if they won't admit it."

Aiden leaned back in his bed, processing this information. "So, essentially, I'm sitting on a powder keg, and both kingdoms are afraid of lighting the fuse."

"Exactly," Great Red affirmed. "But your journey isn't just about power. It's about establishing your own legacy, your own rules. You can harness my strength, but you must also carve out your own path. Do not let their fear dictate your actions."

Aiden nodded slowly, realizing the weight of Great Red's advice. "So, my goal is not just to gain allies but to create a space where fear doesn't dominate the landscape. I want this town to thrive, not just survive."

"Well said, Aiden," Great Red replied, a hint of approval in his tone. "You have the potential to reshape this world, to shift the balance of power in your favor. But it will take time, patience, and strategic thinking."

"I get that," Aiden said, a determined glint in his eyes. "I'll ensure this town becomes a beacon of hope and strength. If I can change the narrative, maybe one day, they won't see me—or you—as a threat but as a protector."

Great Red's laughter resonated in Aiden's mind, a deep, rumbling sound. "I like your spirit, young one. Just remember, with power comes responsibility. Use my strength wisely, and you may just achieve your dreams."

"Thanks, Great Red," Aiden replied, feeling a surge of confidence. "I'll make sure to keep that in mind."

With a newfound sense of purpose, Aiden stepped out of his room and made his way back to the village. There was work to be done, plans to put into motion, and a community to build. As he walked through the village, he could see the Goblins—now Hobgoblins and Goblina—busy working on various tasks.

He approached them, his voice booming with enthusiasm. "Alright, everyone! We have a lot to do if we want this place to thrive! Let's make this town strong enough that even the strongest warriors of Celestine and Olga will think twice before challenging us!"

The Goblins looked up, their eyes filled with determination. "Yes, Aiden!" they shouted in unison, ready to take on the challenge.

With the sun shining brightly overhead, Aiden felt a renewed sense of purpose. Together, they would build something magnificent. Together, they would create a future where fear would no longer hold sway over their lives.

Great Red Spoke again in Aiden mind. "The first of the 5 layers of barrier are breaking"

Aiden spoke in his mind. "So your one 1 timliene is correct after all".

Great Red's presence surged within Aiden's mind, a mix of excitement and urgency. "Indeed. The first layer is cracking, and it won't be long before the others follow. As they break, my power will begin to return, and with it, the potential for chaos and destruction."

Aiden felt a rush of anticipation mixed with trepidation. "Does this mean you'll be free soon? What happens then?"

"Patience," Great Red replied, his voice calm yet powerful. "Freedom comes at a price. I need you to be prepared for the changes that will unfold. When I fully awaken, the world around us will shift dramatically. Power dynamics will change, and those who once feared me will either flee or try to exploit my return."

Aiden took a deep breath, the weight of the situation settling heavily on his shoulders. "I understand. So, I need to solidify our position here in this Neutral Area before that happens. We need allies, resources, and a solid plan."

"Correct. Your strength lies in your alliances and the community you build. Strengthen the bonds with your Goblins, establish a rapport with the knights, and perhaps even explore potential connections with Celestine and Olga before I fully awaken. They will be wary of my return, and it would be wise to present a united front."

Aiden nodded, feeling the urgency of Great Red's words. "I'll start by gathering everyone. We need to strategize and prepare for whatever comes next. If your barriers are falling, we must be ready to adapt and face the consequences."

Great Red's voice softened, almost a rumble of approval. "You're beginning to understand. The key to wielding great power is not just in having it but knowing how to use it wisely. Lead your community with foresight, and perhaps together, we can redefine what it means to be powerful."

Aiden focused on the village, the hustle and bustle of the Goblins igniting his determination. "I won't let you down, Great Red. I'll make sure this town becomes a stronghold for us, a place where we can protect each other when the time comes."

"Good," Great Red said, the remnants of his energy pulsating like a heartbeat in Aiden's mind. "But remember, once I am free, the world will change in ways you cannot yet foresee. Stay vigilant."

As the connection faded, Aiden steeled himself, ready to take the next step. He called out to Tamamo, who was nearby, her nine tails shimmering in the sunlight. "Tamamo! Gather everyone. We need to have a meeting right now!"

Tamamo tilted her head, curiosity lighting her eyes. "What's the plan, Aiden?"

"We need to prepare for the changes coming our way. Great Red's barriers are weakening, and when he is free, things will become chaotic. We need to strategize and ensure our community is ready for anything."

Tamamo nodded, her expression shifting to one of seriousness. "Understood. I'll gather the Goblins and the knights. This will be a crucial meeting."

As she hurried off, Aiden took a moment to gather his thoughts. He was not just a slime anymore; he was a leader, a community builder, and perhaps, a future force to be reckoned with. The weight of responsibility felt heavy, but he welcomed it. If he could guide them through this impending storm, they would emerge stronger on the other side.

Aiden watched as the Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Goblina assembled, their expressions ranging from confusion to determination. With a deep breath, he stepped forward, ready to inspire them for the challenges ahead.
