"T-True Demon Materials?" Asked my father in disbelief. "Sylphy, you have to know that True Demons bodies cannot be easily handled, right? They possess deadly Demonic Energy, which is not from our world. Such a power, when handled incorrectly, can hurt someone or even kill them."
"I know but the Witch of the Blue Mountain was a Hero like you, right? I'm sure she could handle it…" I said.
"You're beginning to think she's like our personal item crafter, right?" Sighed my mother. "Well, she kind of was. Her Alchemy surpassed even mine and because she's half dwarf, she was also incredibly talented at Forging Magic, something not even I can do."
"She's probably the best Item Crafter in the world…" My father sighed.
"I guess she could handle it… But why? Why do you want such a thing, Sylphy? Shouldn't just repairing it be enough?" My mother wondered. "True Demons are existences not from our world and-"
"Because their bodies are tough! Remember the clothes the cultists used? They were all made from the true demons' skin and covered in their blood, I think. It made their coats incredibly resistant to magic, most magic was just easily reflected!" I said. "If we could simply use the materials from their bodies to make our armor and weapons, wouldn't they become amazing too? We just have to try using what we've got!"
"That's… right." My mother said. "We have yet to completely comprehend this new technology they were using, but using True Demon bodies for their making, I suppose that's why… It explains a lot now."
"The corpses of the three True Demons are stored in the Dimensional Storage Box." Said my father. "They're still omitting a lot of miasma, so it is not safe to handle them normally."
"Hmm…" My mother suddenly felt slightly intrigued. "It is dangerous yeah, but we could improve all our equipment using them. Also didn't that Berith guy had a weapon?"
"That damned Pike of his?! It has like a million souls… We should purify that." Said my father.
"Yeah, we'll purify the souls inside, but the material itself is probably a unique type of ore from the Dimension of Hell, we could also use it to forge Sylphy's weapon." Said my mother.
"And the core of Lilith!" I said.
"And the core of Lilith…" My mother said, strangely complacent.
"I am weirded out your mom is being so complacent with you today." Aquarina pointed out.
"I-I am?" Asked my mother. "I… Well, I also think she deserves a reward. And her idea actually enlightened me. I still remember how resilient the True Demon Dukes were and all… Though a sword forged out of their materials might be too powerful for Sylphy to handle."
"I can handle it no problem, I've improved to Tier 3 Magic Circle and Physique!" I said.
"YOU WHAT?!"
My father and my mother looked at me in disbelief.
"Sylphy it is not good to lie about those things. Being tier 3 before even reaching the age of nine is completely insane, there's no way you could do that normally, it takes years of hard work, even with your talents." Said my mother.
"Yeah, we didn't taught you to lie." Said my father.
"Geez, just check me." I sighed.
The two quickly touched my forehead, closing their eyes.
FLASH!
A flash of light covered my body, scanning my body and soul.
The two quickly opened their eyes in surprise.
"S-She's really Tier 3 in both…" My father said in disbelief.
"Y-Yeah… How did she even…?" My mother wondered.
"Remember what papa said? When you fight strong monsters, their magical power is slightly absorbed, right?" I asked. "I fought so many strong monsters that I grew very strong."
"Maybe because she killed Lilith…" Said my father.
"I still can't believe she even did that, but it was only thanks to having a contract with Agni, that dragon gave her an immense boost to her power." Said my mother.
"Well?" I asked.
"Fine… Tier 3 is barely decent as a Physique to handle such a strong weapon as you're requesting. However, this time we'll divide the work with the Witch. I don't want to ask her so many things all the time. Though we'll ask her to enchant the sword with demon materials, we need to first fix it. And that's something we'll do ourselves. Sylphy, how about you begin learning Alchemy? It might be a little too soon for your age but I think this could keep you entertained for now." My mother said.
"Ahhh… T-That would be great! Yeah, sure!" I said happily.
Although I can use my Alchemy Skill, I can barely handle it at all, if I have mother to teach me how to do Alchemy properly, I might also improve my own Alchemy Skill's proficiency and method of usage. It would be killing two stones with one bird- No, the other way around.
"Can I also learn?" Wondered Aquarina.
"You're interested?" Wondered my mother.
"Yeah!" Said Aquarina. "I heard that my father uses Alchemy to create some of his Secret Weapons and Poisons."
"Ah, that… Yeah, I guess." Said my mother. "Shade is rather proficient at Alchemy."
"I have no clue myself so I cannot help here." Said my father.
And like that, things were decided, mother was going to give us official Alchemy Classes.
However I still had a few questions in my mind.
"When are we departing? And can we take a trip in the Port City?" I asked.
"We'll be going in a few weeks; we need to rest for now." My father said.
"Yeah, we also need to let the people we have with us to grow a bit ore healthy." My mother said.
"After that, we'll be traveling back to Atlanta through the skies." My father smiled.
"The skies? But didn't you said it was impossible and all?" I asked in disbelief.
"Well, I've managed to talk with one of my sisters, and in a few weeks, a flying ship powered with magic and alchemy is coming here to pick us up!" My mother said. "It has a capacity for hundreds of people, so we can all get on board with ease!"
"EEEH?! Really?!"
I guess that's the power of having such a strong family background…
