Lord Of Puppets

"I mean it. What exactly do you want?" – asked Porai.

"I saw your crossbows back then, and they were fucking deadly."

"You also made your golems learn how to gather and replenish their bolts if they were ever run out of them."

"You use everything you have until it can’t be used any longer."

"You are not wasteful."

"Guns are deadly."

"And they have their uses."

"I’m just curios."

{"Well, it is honestly for 2 reasons."}

{"Variation. And situation."}

{"As you said my crossbows are deadly."}

{"However, guns have their own uses."}

{"I’ve been also experiment on crossbows and bows, trying to get somewhat get better picture now on the range weapons, after my crafting skills got much better compare to the years ago."}

{"Not only that, I wonder if I can somewhat use this deadliest of the guns for my own advantage."}

{"I do use bombs."}

{"They are one use, but they are deadly enough to compensate for it."}

"True. I saw those bombs of yours in action."

"They maybe single use, but the fact remains that they are indeed deadly."

"So, what I’m trying to get here at, you want to have better understanding on the range type weapons, especially guns, since you could use it to make some sort powerful weapon with limited uses?"

{"Correct."}

{"I want some of my stronger golems, a ones that I would keep in special reserve, to be deadly in special way."}

{"I also want some weapon for myself if worse were to come to worse."}

"Welp, you make extremely valid and calculated point."

"Heck. I just shown you that I carry two guns, with one being straight able to annihilate anybody who got hit with this crap, so I guess you have even more reason to want to have your own special gun in case of trouble."

"Anyway, with the guns I can help you out with."

"When I come back with my stuff, I will also bring some guns and some books with me, which could help out as well."

"But today, let’s be it be bit peaceful since this is just a ’greeting’." – said Porai as she moved some stuff from the table before then sitting on it.

"Anyway, do you have any more questions?"

{"Actually, I do."}

{"The metal magic."}

{"Can you teach me?"}

"?"

"Metal magic?" – asked curios Powin.

"You want to teach you how to use metal magic?"

"That is.... An interesting.... Question?"

"Huh...."

"But why metal magic?"

"Do you even bigger arsenal?"

{"Yes."}

{"The way you had shown me the metal magic.... It made me very interested in it as both a weapon and armor."}

{"But that wasn’t all."}

{"Healing."}

{"The reason why I want to use metal magic is to somehow repair my body in the middle of the battle in case it gets too damaged."}

{"I once barely survived the assault by the C rank adventures, all because I managed to use alchemy to repair my body."}

{"However, I barely repaired myself back then and the only reason why I survived was because I’ve had gotten lucky."}

{"But next time I won’t get that lucky."}

"..."

"Hm...."

"Your request does make sense."

"The problem with your body is that it is nonliving."

"Potions and healing skills won’t work on you, since you are object."

"But with metal..."

"..."

"Wait."

"Stop for moment."

"Those earth golems of yours."

"They possess special self-healing Forged Skill that you had created, which allows them to absorb earth and heal up."

"..."

"You bastard."

"You are trying to give your other golems regenerative ability?"

{"That was one of the things I’ve had in mind."}

{"However, I’m still experimenting with Forget Skills, maybe I will be able to create much better version of it."}

"..."

"True.... But still."

"The ability to straight up reconstruct itself, even a complicated build golem.... Yes.... This DOES sounds nice."

"But then again, there is obvious problem."

"I mean, how would the golems get new metal?"

"Not only that, it would probably need to be a specific kind of metal that makes up their body."

"Obviously, you can maybe make it the way that they would just grab their broken off arm, hold it against the broken part and have it automatically recover."

"But what if the entire arm got destroyed or sent flying way too far? Won’t that self-healing ability then be useless?"

{"That ring of yours."}

{"It uses space magic, a item skill that has same effect as [Pocket Space], right?"}

"!?"

"You son of a bitch!" – said extremely excited Porai as she snapped her fingers.

"You know how to use space magic, so you could maybe create an item with [Space Bag] item skill."

"They wouldn’t have any big problem with carrying their spare materials in order to heal up."

"HAHAHAHA!"

"I like you! I mean it!"

{"The idea is good, from what I understand."}

{"However, I will probably only use it on my strongest golems and myself."}

"!"

"Oh right.... Yeah... The cost would be tremendous if you did it for every single one."

"But still, the fact alone that you could overcome your main problem regaining healing... This is truly interesting."

"..."

"Still, can you even use metal magic? That is a question."

"I’ve explained to you before, but metal magic is extremely hard to learn magic."

"It is related to the earth magic, which is your main specialty... And you have somewhat understanding when it comes to alchemy.... Hm..."

"..."

"Okay. Fuck it."

"Let’s try it."

"I don’t know how long will it take, but let’s try!"

(I’m starting to like this bastard more and more!) – thought Porai.

"I’m not that old, mate."- said Porai as the duo were conducting their experiments on the humanoid golem.

{"?"}

{"But aren’t you vampire?"}

"Because I’m a vampire, a pure blooded one at that, it doesn’t automatically means I’m extremely old."

"Vampires once they reach specific age, they end up aging much slower compare to the other species."

"A man that looks like he in his 15 is in reality already over 100 years old."

"Or I even heard about vampires that looks like freaking children, but are old like freaking hell itself."

"I look young and I have somewhat lustful body."

"Some people would say that I’m already some sort vampire over 150 or maybe even 300, but no."

"I’m just 35 years old."

"I’m not some sort of ancient vampire."

"No."

"Heck, I was originally a low ranking noble vampire."

"Honestly speaking, I wasn’t expecting to grow so much when doing my research, to the point I became higher ranking vampire noble than my family."

{"Ariava did said that you are somewhat known in the vampire community."}

"Well... Yeah.... It is bit annoying through."

"I did somewhat quickly risen through my rank by evolving myself while being somewhat still less than 50 years old, and not only that, I’ve piled up some achievements with research... And there is also the fact that I can create golems that can serve as somebody’s army.... So yeah.... I’m popular... But in extremely annoying way."
