When the Great Alliance reached the 'Metal Line', weapons development for Hans and the others was steadily progressing in the 'Spirit Factory'.

Aina was encouraging the bow and arrow 'exterior reinforcement (coating)' as she remembered what Loran told her.

"Light and powerful bow and arrow...... is it?

"Oh. Hans and the others are bowmen (Archers) with more than class B qualities. But now it's still developing. You don't have the power to defeat your enemies with a single blow, and you don't get shielded support. So it employs hit-and-away tactics, but it requires minimal drain on Jung-min (Agility)"

Loran wrote the status of Hans and the others on the blackboard.

"Thus their arm strength (power) is roughly 40-60. Class C. Currently they use bows weighing 40, but we make bows weighing 30."

"Weight 30..."

"And when you do, you're going to cut down on your power and endurance."

"That's Eina's" Exterior Reinforcement "."

Loran wrote down the bow and arrow specs to aim for.

[Bow and arrow]

Power: 60 ( 20)

Endurance: 60 ( 20)

Weight: 30

* The elevation is due to "Exterior Reinforcement (Coating)"

"Weight 30...... does that mean class D"

"So what is a bow and arrow with 60 power and 60 endurance? Isn't it class B. That's another lame spec."

Said as Roddy had hovered.

"But if you return the back, it means even class D adventurers can find the possibility of wearing class B gear. And Eina's unique skill 'Exterior Enhancement (Coating)' should make it possible"

"But there's only one kind of status that can be raised with my Exterior Enhancement (Coating). Durable if blue, powerful if red"

"If you do have a normal weapon, you can only extend one type of status. Except for the bow and arrow. Why don't you paint the bow blue and the arrow red?

"Ah!"

"I see. Then you're going to be able to enhance both power and endurance"

"Yes. That's why Aina is once again improving her 'exterior enhancement (coating)' skills. Roddy is a 'product design' for bows and arrows that meet this requirement."

"" Yes!

Aina points her support magic wand at the red painted arrow in front of her.

(I'm coming. "Exterior reinforcement (coating)"!)

When Aina casts a spell, the red paint starts to swell.

Eina suppresses it.

That's how a powerful red arrow can be made.

(Now this should have made it more powerful...)

The red arrow gleams and shows off its sharpness.

Aina tried touching the horrible arrow with hard gloves.

"Eh."

The gloves are torn after just a few touches.

"No. Very untouchable."

(Three days after Loran told me, I managed to wear a 'exterior reinforcement (coating)' of increased power, but this would hurt my owner, wouldn't it?)

"Aina. How's it going?

"Ah, Mr. Loran. The..." Exterior Reinforcement (Coating) "worked well..."

"Hmm. Right."

[Arrow Status]

Power: 20 ( 20)

"Yeah. It's definitely getting more powerful. Well done."

"It's just... it's going to hurt the archer like this."

"I see. Sure."

Loran thinks for a while.

"Can't you just make 'exterior reinforcement (coating)' the arrowbutt part? That way you can protect at least the hands of those who can."

"Oh, well.... but that doesn't cover the pusher's hand with the bow?

"Let's protect that with gloves. Just blue 'exterior reinforcement (coating)' on regular gloves should be durable"

"I see."

"Quickly, will you work on it?

"Yes!"

[Aina's Unique Skills]

"Exterior Reinforcement (Coating)": B ( 1 rank)

(With experience, "Exterior Reinforcement (Coating)" has risen to Class B. This one doesn't look like a problem)

When Loran made sure Aina had no problems with her work, she moved to Roddy's.

Roddy is experimenting with the comfort of using the bow model based on his own blueprint.

"Roddy, what's it like?

"Ah, Mr. Loran. Mr. Loran's ordered anti-aircraft specialization. I think I can help you. Do you want me to set this up?

"Oh. Which one.... I see. It's easier to shoot when you're up in the air."

"Right? I'm confident this time."

"Roddy. Can I have a word?

"Hmm, Eina? What's the matter, man?

"Loran pointed out that he was going to change the way the arrows were 'exterior reinforced (coated)'. I want you to change this part of the design..."

"Ok. No problem. I'll do it."

[Roddy's Skills]

Product Design: B ( 1 rank)

(Roddy's skills also rose one rank to b. This is going to be done by the time Hans and the others get back)

"Loran."

"Hmm? Saki. What's the matter with you?

"Mr. Hans, you've seen them."

"Oh, are you back? I'm on my way."

After three days of exploring, Hans and the others came back completely worn out.

Loran just appraises their status.

[Hans Bergamot's Status]

Jun Min (Agility): 70-80

[Claire Bergamot's Status]

Jun Min (Agility): 60-70

[Alice Bergamot's Status]

Jun Min (Agility): 80-90

(Jun Min (Agility) is all within 10 errors and above Class B Jun Min (Agility). Enough)

"What do you think, Lorraine? What about our Agility? Is it enough to wear new gear?

"Oh. I misjudged you. It's like a few days ago. What kind of magic did you use?

"Huh. It's no big deal. I just did the training you told me to do. It was more of you who did the magic, wasn't it?

"It's something you can hunt just to do Chimatima damage. Good."

Alice removed the scales and bones of 'Winged Dragon (Ptera)' from the item bag.

"You hunted the Winged Dragon."

Loran was a little surprised.

(Defeating the Dragon Clan with these three attackers should be a tough business. If you've done that on your own, you've accomplished more than you expected)

Loran turns his eyes to the three boots.

The three boots were completely rubbed off and worn out.

(You were crazy about death, and you did what I told you to do)

"Come on, we've made good progress. You must have built a proper weapon."

"Absolutely. We have a special weapon for you, the Tenma Arrow. It's about time it was done..."

"Mr. Loran, we're done with the new gear."

Aina said with a face from the workshop (atelier).

"Did you do it? All right, then, let's get you geared up quickly."

Loran put Hans and the others through the workshop (atelier).

"This is your special gear," Red Arrow "and" Dragon Dome ". It's a weapon to protect yourself from the dragon's spitting flames and pierce the dragon's thick skin."

"This is..."

Hans and the others each try to get a bow and arrow in their hand.

The bow and arrow were embedded with a large grain of "Flame-absorbing Ore (Firefurt)".

[Status of Red Arrow Dragon Penetration Dome]

Power: 60 ( 20)

Endurance: 60 ( 20)

Weight: 30

Special effects: penetration, flame absorption, anti-aircraft correction

* The elevation is due to "Exterior Reinforcement (Coating)"

When Hans and the others were receiving the Dragon Penetrating Dome, the Grand Alliance was advancing the Metal Line.

Two Fire Dragons (Fafnir) are attacked by 10 Rock Augs and Lizardmans.

All of them were monsters that could not be fated by those adventurers there, but they were not enemies of the warlike demonic infantry of The Guardian of the Devil's House.

Without having to use Dragonhead's Cage (Dragoon), he defeats his enemies with a Fire Spear (Javelin).

Nevertheless, the face of the Zero Alliance forced a tough battle.

Because Sayne did not distribute Rare Metal, they tried as much as possible to accommodate the Jailers themselves without the help of the Guardian of the Magic House, but they were no match for the 'Metal Line' monster in their offensive defense.

"Coming."

"Wow."

Somebody cover me.

The matchmaker, Al, decided to send out a help boat.

"Help the five and six unavailable, the people over there."

The struggling Zero Alliance instantly regained its weight when the five and six squad's free hands joined the crowd.

(The monster is getting stronger and the boulder is running out of zero guilds)

Al glanced at Sayne's face.

Whatever he had in mind from earlier, Sayne didn't give any particular instructions, even if the Zero Alliance was in all this misery, and he was piercing the pretense of looking and not seeing.

(I was going to advise the Alliance Guild to distribute the ore as well, but then you won't have the ear to ask. But as it is, there will be a division between the Alliance Alliance Alliance people we have been collecting and us. What the hell are you going to do, Sei?

Al sent an inquiring gaze to Sayne, but Sayne answers nothing.

With such anxiety, the Great Alliance manages to break through to 2/3 of the 'Metal Line'.

"Okay. That's it for today's exploration. Build walls to protect yourself from monsters and get ready for night camp."

"Captain."

Multiple representatives of the Zero Alliance advanced in front of Sein and knelt down.

"Hmm? What?

"On behalf of the Zero Alliance, I'd like to ask you something"

"Say it."

"We, the Zero Alliance, have done what we can for the Great Alliance and have done it in good faith. But this is the limit."

"Right. Then get off the mountain. As the night dawns, gather together in the departed, and descend."

"Please do me a favor on that. Would you mind paying us in advance?

Sein's eyebrows moved unpleasantly.

"I told you before, didn't I? Crusade the Giant Fire Dragon (Grand Fafnir) for rewards for each guild and distribute them according to their actions after descending the mountain. The Alliance will be waiting in the city until we're done."

"But it is. We, from the Zero Alliance, are already very poor in nostalgia due to this expedition. Armor is peeled off by dragon flames, and swords are blade spilled by rock skin, completely depleted. If you don't reward us now, we won't be able to work out the cost of servicing our weapons, or explore the dungeons, and we'll be bankrupt. Please be generous to the captain..."

"That's terrible! I'm not going to overturn your decision!

"But..."

"Let it go!

The roar of "Dragonhead's Cage Hand (Dragoon)" echoed.

The bullet plunders the side of those who complain directly, strikes directly at the slopes of the mountain, and builds a crater.

"Hih."

"If you're gonna get your foot together, just lose it! If I say any more Gudagda, I will remove you from my alliance! Now, if you know what I mean, just get down the mountain and disappear from this place!

The facades of the direct zero guild stopped preparing for the night camp and began to rush down the mountain.

Looking at it, Sayne once again looked over at the entire army and gave a speech.

"Listen carefully. You guys. We expect to fight more powerful enemies in the future. I can't afford to be protecting my footprints. Round it off on the spot if deemed unusable. Fight with your intent to die!

All military morale has now been tightened once by the commander's ruthlessness.

Once again, they begin to work in the dark to show their loyalty to the Guardian of the Magic Leadership.

Sayne went back to his tent when he made sure all his army morale returned.

When the other guild people get to the point where they are no longer around, they start to zero in stupidity.

"Damn, this is why the weak ones. It's gonna take a lot of work."

Al watches as he escorts him.

(You're pretty crunchy, Sai. Although some say alliance guilds are useless, the direct cause would be that Carla is my daughter. I've been frustrated ever since I ran into that girl)

Sayne kicked the dirt on the ground in frustration.

Sand and dust rise for a moment and disappear.

(I hope nothing happens like this...... Are you okay?)

The sound of gunfire echoing from the volcano reached the city.

The adventurers in the dining room shudder.

"Also, the cannon sound of" Dragonhead Cage Hand "."

Roddy looks at the volcano through the dining room window.

"That's the third time today. Looks like the Guardians of the Devil's House are on the loose."

Eina also places a fork, stops her hands from eating, and shifts her eyes out the window.

"It's been seven days since they entered The Volcanic Dungeon. It's about time we reached the top of the mountain with the giant Fire Dragon."

"Maybe he's already crusading."

Aina said.

"What?"

"'Cause you do, don't you? That Sain is his Dragonhead Cage Hand. The firepower was considerable. Though Mr. Loran seems to think this crusade will fail. I think I'm gonna succeed."

I don't know what to do with it.

Loran grabs the basin and sits next to Roddy.

"Ah, Mr. Loran."

(Shit, were you totally listening to me right now?

Aina hurriedly shut her mouth.

"Though I don't think it's going to work that way for me."

Loran also shifts his gaze out the window.

("Guardian of the Magic Leadership" was equipped with fire spears (javelins) for each and every one of them. Nevertheless, so far, 'Dragonhead's Cage Hand (Dragoon)' has been ravaged. An alliance of stopover belts through awkward collaboration in addition to a fire-fighting dungeon attack. How far can you go with that?)

But with such observations by Loran, the Great Alliance was about to reach the summit.

At the end of the mountain path, you can see the long sickle of the giant Fire Dragon (Grand Fafnir) wrapped around the rocky skin.

"Look, it's the giant Fire Dragon."

Sayne giggles and squeezes her fist wrapped in a caged hand (gauntlet).

(Finally got there. "Giant Fire Dragon (Grand Fafnir)". Defeat you and I will bring the S-Class title back to "City of Magic Instructors"!
