When I went to pick up the monster armor, I was greeted by the master who had a very confident expression on his face.
âSo, youâre here.â
âYeah. Is the monster armor finished now?â
âIt is. âŚThey are the finest things I have ever made. Well, itâs also due to the materials.â
He said as he showed me the two pieces.
One was a collar with a very practical design. The other one was a small hat for slimes.
Both of them had blue gemstones insides.
âIâm looking forward to it. âŚUh, can I test them out now?â
âAye.â
And so I put the collar on the Proud Wolf.
And thenâŚthe Proud Wolf shouted.
âIâŚI feel so light! Itâs amazing!â
He said as he began to run around.
He was much faster now than he had been when while wearing the monster armor with red gemstones.
The normal one seemed to have only increased his speed by 10% at the mostâŚso this was amazing.
It wasnât exactly 2x as fast nowâŚbut it was close enough.
However, there was one thing that worried me.
âArenât you afraid youâll hit your head against a tree if you run so fast?â
Even if his legs were faster, it didnât mean that his reflexes had improved.
It seemed like he would find it difficult to dodge obstacles if his speed alone suddenly increased.
And so I asked himâŚ
âI donât feel like I would crash into anything! âŚItâs like Iâm just walking normally, but doing it very fast!â
Apparently, the monster armor did more than just increase your speed.
As the Proud Wolf was my main method of transportation, this was very good news for me.
âAll right, onto the slimes.â
I said as I put the small hat on the slimeâs head.
âItâs a hat!â
âItâs not heavy!â
The slime with the hat began to bounce around on the ground.
That in itself was normalâŚbut it was faster.
Slimes were slower than me on foot, and so they usually rode on the Proud WolfâŚ
But now, the slimes seemed like they would be able to keep up with me if I was running.
While the Proud Wolf was close to 2x faster, the slimes were perhaps 3x faster.
Of course, the Proud Wolf was still the fastest in the end.
ââŚAnd I can use strengthening magic?â
âAye. The durability is perfect this time.â
He said. And so I tried using strengthening magic.
The master saw this and nodded.
ââŚYes. It definitely wonât break.â
Apparently, he was satisfied with the result.
Now I could take it to battle without worrying about it.
âThank you. Iâm glad I was able to purchase these.â
I said as I tried to hand him the money.
Howeverâhe refused to accept it.
âNo, weâre not finished yet. âŚDonât you do other things when youâre fighting?â
âŚDid he know all of that as well?
âYou want me to try it?â
âAye. There is no point in having magic armor if you canât go all out while youâre fighting. âŚBut Iâm quite sure it wonât break no matter how you fight. So you can test it without worrying.â
And so I silently activated the magic.
âMagic Transfer-Area Freeze Medium.â
And then the area around the slime froze.
The Master saw this and raised his voice in surprise.
âDid thatâŚslime just use magic!?â
âYeah. But please keep it a secret.â
For a bystander, it would look like the slime had used the magic that I had transferred.
âŚThat was fine by me, as it would be very troublesome if people knew that I could transfer magic.
