Creative Demon King .

　Way to go. This may be the new frontier of the witch king. I'll be the forerunner of the new demon king's path.

　Fortunately, iron and other materials can be traded in our catalog. Your imagination has also been training a lot lately because you've been doing a lot of imaginary training to make the hot water dragon appear. As for the amount of magic, it's approved by Reffi to be much higher than average.

　If this is the case, the quality of the weapons you'll produce should also be promising.

　And when I found the 'weapon training' skill, there's another skill I had in mind.

　It's called "Granting Magic".

　It's not magic, but sorcery, but apparently magic is activated by image, while sorcery is more academic and is activated by theory. Leffy told me.

　The effect of the skill is to impart a magic circuit to the target, turning it into a magical tool. As for the magic circuits that can be given, at skill level I, there are only two, "area of effect increase: small" and "magic power reduction: small".
　As the skill level increases, the number of magic circuits you can grant increases. However, if you learn other magic circuits, you can also give them to your friends. I'd like to learn them sooner or later.

　Also, the number of magic circuits you can grant to a target depends on the size, shape, and quality of the object.

　For example, if the object is made of magic silver (mithril) ore that contains magic power, the number of magic circuits that can be given will increase because magic power can easily pass through it and the effect will be greater, while if the material is just iron, the number of magic circuits that can be given will decrease and the effect will be smaller. I'm going to be using it more and more as far as magic is concerned.

　I'm going to use magic at all costs, so I'd be very grateful if the weapon could be a supplement to such magic. With a magic circuit that can be learned at skill level I, there may not be much difference yet, but that little difference could make the difference between light and dark.

　Eventually, I'd like to be able to make weapons with increased special effects, like those found at the end of RPGs.

　Thinking about this, I quickly make the skill scroll appear and learn the skill.

　Okay, okay, you're getting it right.

　Your level has also increased a lot since the last time I saw you. I'm a little happy to see that your lucky value has risen modestly.
　I'm really glad it's not a fixed value.

　I spent some skill points to increase my analysis skill level a while ago, so I haven't accumulated much yet. The analysis skill is really useful, so I'll probably spend it all there until it reaches its maximum level.

　The goal is to see Leffi's status. I can't see it, even if I raise it this high.

　...... has been adding some weird titles.

　Slide your finger over the newly added titles and check them.

　The Owner of the Dragon: The fearless tamer of the dragons that brought victory to the world.

　...... is not wrong, is it?

　It does feel like a feeding frenzy, though. If Leffy finds out, she'll say, "How dare you treat me like a pet, Yuki! I'm going to be pudgy," he said.

　Speaking of titles, when I said "I'm an otherworldly person", Reffi didn't respond to my "Otherworldly Demon King", but she didn't give me any particular reaction, so I said "I'm an otherworldly person", to which she replied "hmmm".
　Well, I guess it doesn't matter to Leffi.

　As for me, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have any lingering feelings, but the past life that I died in is now just the past, so frankly, it doesn't matter anymore. The life of a demon king is quite fun.

　The place you are in is your world. Even if the environment has changed, it will never change.

　...... well, it doesn't matter what happened in the previous life. Let's put that aside for now and try to use the skills.

　First, trade a fist-sized iron ingot for a DP to see what it's like. I know it's really late, but why is this stuff even in the catalog?

"Hm? Something's starting to happen to Yuki again,

Onii-chan, are you going to show me new tricks again?

　Even Iruna, who had lost to Reffi in Othello and was puffing out her cheeks with an obvious "mmmm", comes up to you.

'Not a magic trick, but something like it? And, Leffy, don't make me sound like I'm always doing crazy things.

　I'm just trying out what I can and can't do.

Well, it's probably not that interesting to watch.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with the help of a few of your friends.

　Let's make a dagger around ...... dagger first.

　The image I have in mind is a stainless steel knife.
　The handle is metal, just like a soldier would have.

　I picture a knife often used as a first-person shooter (FPS) melee weapon, which is the easiest to visualize, and put magic power into the material.

　When that magic power is sufficiently spread throughout the material, I activate the "Weaponry Training" skill. 　

　Then, the iron ingot immediately begins to change languidly and consolidate into a knife shape as if it had a will. To be honest, it's a bit of a creepy move.

Oh, ...... that worked!

　Eventually the resulting knife is the very image.
　The blade is about twelve centimeters long. The blade is thick and the handle is quite angular as well, since it is made entirely of steel. You may need to wrap some rope around the handle to hold it. 　



　I opened the item box and took out the demon's flesh from the crack in the void to try it out, and I was able to cut it cleanly and easily.

　Even though it's not cast or forged, it's still very hard and sharp. I don't understand the logic behind this. Does the magic have a direct effect on the iron element?

　The Demon King's Dagger: An iron dagger created by Demon King Yuki. No inscription. Quality B-.

　This is an analysis skill, but perhaps because the skill level has been raised again, it now displays quality as well. A B- is a bit of a good rating. Tools that cost a thousand dollars more than your everyday items. That's a hard analogy to understand, if I do say so myself.

　It worked on my first shot, but according to the skill description, this seems to involve my highest dexterity value for nothing. The higher this value is, the more difference there is in the quality of the finished product.

　This dexterity value has been out of breath until now, but now it's coming into its own. If you want to be a creative demon king, raise your dexterity level.

Is this one of the mountain people's blacksmithing magic? So you didn't make this one. That's pretty good.

　Leffi looked at the knife I was making slyly.

You're a good cook, and you're very handy! Just like my mom!

　Am I happy with that assessment?

This is just the beginning. The next one is a real challenge.

　Saying that, I opened the catalog again and produced an iron ingot, this time weighing about ten kilos. I wanted to produce an ingot of mithril ore, but it was too expensive to do so.

　I got the point from earlier.

　Next, I'll take the knife I just made and make it double-edged, but in a larger size--.

　...... No, wait? As I recall, the effect of the "magic-granting" skill also depends on its shape. So it's better to take that into account.

　I have a feeling that I'll be using water magic as my main tool, so a streamlined shape, like a stream of water, might be good. The overall silhouette is also rounded, inspired by water droplets: .......

　--And maybe it's because I was thinking about something else.

............

　The iron hilt and the smooth fluid blade that follows it - can you say "sword"? This.
　The material is supposed to be iron, but it has a faintly blue tint to it, and it has a vaguely fantastic color.

Wow!

　--The next result was a weapon with a handle shaped like a slime.

"...... uh, you, sir, what's this?

"...... is a weapon

Oh, well, I would like to learn how in the world to use it.

"Well ......, it's a weapon that you can hold on to with a grip, you know, a streamlined tip to smash it down.

I see. That looks like a very powerful weapon.

　Yes, really.

　But still, I'm glad I didn't mess this up with the magic silver ore. I'm sure it took you a long time to get back on your feet after spending so much DP time on the trash.

...... Well, whatever. Let's move on.

　Again, the iron--Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

　I opened an item box instead of a catalog, and from a crack in the void, I pulled out a black, pointed, horn-like object inside.

　This is the horn of a demon that had a beetle-like body as big as a car.

　The giant beetle had crushed a large tree with the thrust of this horn, and after defeating the beetle, the horn was broken off and held, in the hope that it could be used for something.

　Even after holding it like this, it is still quite large in size, moderately heavy and hard enough to crush a large tree. As the material for the large sword I'm looking for, it's a very good choice.

　I used iron because it's a material for weapons, but if it's a material, this should work too. I'm completely out of brain, but it's not impossible.

　--All right, let's focus. Let's focus.

　I thought too much about that earlier.
　It's simpler. Granting the magic is not an issue right now.
　You want weight and sharpness. That's all you want.
　The shape should be simpler, too. A hilt and a double-edged blade are all that's needed.

　I poured in the magic as I built up an image, and perhaps because of the quality of the material, two-thirds of my remaining MP was quickly absorbed. You can't fail in this one.

　I've been concentrating on it, and with most of my magic power absorbed, I'm about to activate the skill at that moment.

　The reffi at the edge of my vision grinned at me and came up beside me with a sooty grin, and said in my ear, "Oh-ha-na" - a flower?

"--Whoa! Hey, what the hell!

　A skill is activated and a weapon is created.

　There was a hilt, a flange, and a flower at the end of it.

　The blade was like the stem of a flower, with flowers blooming at the top.

　The Demon King's Sword: A beautiful sword created by Demon King Yuki, with a flower blooming at the top. No inscription. Quality: A-.

　This is because the last thing I thought of was a flower! And the quality is good for nothing!

"Oh, you! What the hell are you doing?!

　Reclaiming is not possible at .......
　Apparently, you can't activate the skill again on the same target. Or rather, I'm out of magic power, so it's impossible anyway.



　As for materials, I only have this one. I've only seen that one beetle-like monster when I tried to hunt again. It'll take me a long time to find it.

　In other words, the best weapon I can make now is this flower blade.

It's a beautiful flower. I think it's a nice, stylish weapon.

I only had one material!

"Well, why don't you use your weapon? I'm sure you'll slaughter a lot of demons.

　And that's where Reffi seems to have run out of patience and rolled around laughing hysterically, holding her belly.

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you're going to be able to get your hands on a new one. The first thing they taught me about flowers is how to produce them in magic, and I'm not sure if you're actually a flower lover. You like sweets, you like flowers, you're a very maiden-like Haorong!

"Nah, come on, it's not that bad! Whatever my hobby is!

"Han, I don't care what your taste is! I'm telling you, I don't look good for you!

"Oh, oh Lord! You shouldn't have said that! Excellent, I'll show you what it's like to fight with me, the High Dragon!

"Don't keep pretending to be a High Dragon High Dragon! And you're not a high dragon, you're a bad dragon!

"Mookie! You said it again! Prepare yourself, Yuki, I'll tell you why there is the word hell!

　Then he looked at me and Reffi, who started fighting, and said, "Oh my God, here we go again. Come on, Shhh, come play with me! And then Iruna's voice echoed in the small throne room.

　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that the performance of this flower blade is not that bad, by the way.

　...... I need to get some good materials as soon as possible.
