-3rd POV-

Malleus huffed, narrowing his eyes at the Octavinelle trio, "It's far past time you gave this up. You cannot defeat me. Surely, you've learned that by now?" He said, before they all glowed, taking them by surprise, "What?! Shroud, even now you...!" He glared up as he tried to move but couldn't, "Rgh...!" He then disappeared.

Idia let out a breath, "Got a whole lot of bugs ironed out. It's running a lot smoother now. But I can't relax yet. Now when Malleus is still acting so combative. We should definitely expect more of that when we're back in the real world..." His eyes then widen when a notification went off, "Huh? What now? It hasn't been that long since our last check-in." He then picked up, "You've reached raid event HQ."

"Hi, Idy! It's mom!" She said, waving happily at her son, who's eyes widen.

He everted his eyes, "Can I hang up now?"

"Is that any way to talk to your mother?!"

"Look, I'm really busy! What do you want?!"

"The tool's made it from the Shaftlands to HQ!"

His eyes widen, turning to look at her, "Whoa, really?! I figured even with a technomantic hypersonic plane, the shipment would take hours to arrive."

"Mr. Zigvolt enlisted the help of retired telemancers living in Briar Valley. That made a huge difference." His father cut in.

"Wait, tele-what now?" Idia tilted his head.

"Telemancers...! Those are soldiers in the royal guard who use long-range teleportation magic." Silver said.

"Their magical prowess is such that they're able to teleport large groups of people at once—across distances spanning oceans and continents!" Sebek explained further.

Grim smiled in realization, "Oh yeah! The guys who sent the royal guard outta that eastern citadel."

The Ignihyde housewarden was shocked, "They can teleport large groups across an ocean or continent, without any prep time or artifact assistance? Ancient magic is wild..."

"Humans and fae are unified in their efforts to keep this disaster contained." The director said.

He turned to his parents, "Okay, how'd it do in the strength tests?!"

"It has a gem hardness of 10. And in terms of magical conductivity, it's a top-rank magestone every bit as good as the ones used in the thunder spears. This will definitely let us make the best possible high-powered anti-dragon weaponry. Once we integrate the technomantic parts we prepared, we can get right to operational tests." The female engineer said.

He smiled, "Yes!"

"Slow down, Idy." She turned to the silver haired male, her voice turning softer, "Silver. This is your father's treasure, right? One with lots of sentimental value? In order to modify this magearm, we'll have to completely dismantle it. Are you okay with that?"

Silver nodded, "...Yes. I'm sure it's what my father would want. Please, do what you have to do."

She nodded, "All right. I'll take full responsibility for the modifications. Now, Idy..." She turned to her son, "With the mystium we've gathered, we'll be able to make two sets of armor, a shield, and a legendary sword—AKA the high-powered battle weaponry. Who do you want to wield them?"

Idia smiled, "Who else?" He turned to the Diasomnia males, "It's gotta be Silver and Sebek."

Both their eyes widen, letting out soft gasps.
