The Devil’s Evolution Catalog - Chapter 788

Chapter 788: Completion

In the blink of an eye, three months of research and development were over and done with. The magitek armor was complete, and ready for testing tomorrow.

During these three months, our uninvited researcher, the ever talkative Redleaf, wasnt entirely a nuisance as she first seemed. While she might have griped about the armor at first, the moment she realized this was to be my personal suit, she promptly changed her tune, even going so far as to improve the suit.

Although, if we were being perfectly honest here, she was more focused on making it beautiful. And thanks to that, our development was lengthened by half a month

In her own words, a lumbering hunk of metal like that is an affront to our Nanas beauty. But what would you expect from Stubby? His sense of beauty is even more non-existent than his height. Now, step aside and let a master work!

Just like that, the lab created a three meter tall suit of armor, covered from head to toe in red dragon scales, forged to slender elegance, sporting a resplendent set of 72 red metallic rhombohedrons arranged like wings.

It was a work of art, undoubtedly. Even those red metallic rhombohedrons were covered in red dragon scales, giving the entire armor a draconic warrior-esque look.

The main reactor of this armor was the crystalline core of a red dragon overlord. Thanks to dragons being innately replete with mana, the capacity of this dragon crystal was five to ten times that of an equivalent magical beast crystal. The internal structure itself was forged from the bones of a red dragon, and if one were to count in the red dragon scales painstakingly arranged by Redleaf, this was truly a red dragon in all but name a moment of silence for our brave comrades sacrifice

No wonder dragons have always hated humans eating their meat and drinking blood probably didnt help either

Aesthetics aside, the main weapon was a pure-red dragonslayer greatsword measuring 350 cm in length, 290 cm for its blade, and 30 cm wide. In exchange for this weapon, and in no small part due to Redleaf nudging the dwarven meister, I was to screen ten movies for the master blacksmith.

Naturally, the weapon was steeped in dragon blood, an epic-grade weapon, through and through.

This massive weapon was actually forged by Meister Belud when he still wasnt a meister. In order to earn that prestigious title, he wanted to forge a great weapon, thus he came up with this dragonslayer greatsword. Back then, he was hailed as a genius blacksmith amongst the dwarves, and that pushed him to seek to create a great weapon as proof of his worthiness to the title.

Unfortunately, the resulting weapon wasnt an epic-grade. Even with all the precious materials and effort he poured into the weapon, he failed. The shock struck him like lightning.

But the genius that he was soon thought of a solution for this problem: steeping the weapon in the blood of a powerful magical beast to enhance it.

As ambitious as ever, he wanted only the best for his weapon. Thus did he decide to use a pureblood red dragons blood.

However, a pureblooded dragons blood was exceedingly rare. Most such dragons live on the Dragon Isles, only a scant few ever roam outside of those islands. Even then, they tended to be discreet. Such dragons werent allowed to be hunted, so to speak, lest one incurred the wrath of the Dragon Isles. There was once a kingdom that dared flout this rule, and it was now history.

The only dragons that could be hunted were those that had been exiled to the human realms, perhaps for their evil deeds, or whatnot. These dragons did not enjoy the protection of the Dragon Isles, not unless they somehow managed to prove their worth once more.

A dragon may prove their worth by successfully becoming a Demigod. The elders and Dragon King were all Demigods. An alternative would be to survive 100 years of being hunted in the human realms an option that was in no way less difficult than becoming a Demigod, but it was an alternative.

As I gazed at the towering red suit of armor before me, my eyes glistened with excitement. If I could, I would ride it into battle right now!

How about the Adamantite King? The dwarven meister immediately perked up when he heard we were naming it. Thats an impressive-sounding name!

As if! Redleaf objected. How about the Draconic Hero? Its an armor made of a red dragon, it only stands to reason that the name fits this!

Maybe not The name just doesnt sit well with me.

Hero arent they supposed to kill devils?

Hah! Lady Mo Na doesnt like your names either.

Shut up, Stubby.

Like my short legs ever blocked you from watching a movie!

Like I ever cared. I just dont like Stubbies like you!

You looking for a fight?

Bring it on!

All right, thats enough! Otherwise no one is watching a movie tonight.

The two of them immediately fell silent Geez, why do I always get stuck with people who cant seem to think of a good name

It was then that I noticed the smiling elderly man watching us from the sidelines.

Thats right There's still one more person here. I can ask him for his opinion. No matter how you cut it, Meister Amori seems like a cultured man.

Meister Amori, would you happen to have any suggestion for the name?

As if he was waiting for this very moment, Amori broke into a wider grin and nodded. Since Lady Mo Na has requested of me as such, then may I first start by asking what is the purpose of this armor?
