Eiro pressed his hand onto his chest, and slowly poured out so fire magic out of his palm, mixing it in with the energies of chaos that were flowing around him due to this armor.
And so, the power of 'Order' took effect and shifted the chaos toward a specific direction. Slowly, instead of the black that it was just now, the armor turned into a dark red and started to give off a bit of heat.
"So this is really how it works, then?" Eiro asked with a broad smile on his face, and Armodeus quickly nodded his head, "Aye, that's how I planned it to work, at least. Since there's a type of Dragon for basically every elent there is, ya can temporarily make it so that the scales that have been used as a base are the scales of that sort of Dragon. Of course, there'll be so rare exceptions. And ya must feed the 'chaos' so magic so that it knows what exactly to do."
With a broad smile on his face, Eiro used another sort of magic on his Armor's Chaos. The color faded from the armor and it changed into a faded, white-blue. Light mist started falling off of Eiro's body due to the change in temperature as he changed his armor to possess the Ice elent instead.
And then, Eiro got another idea as well. Slowly, he opened one of the carriage's windows. Luckily they were flying high enough for this. The Demon quickly made use of the natural humidity in the air, as Lognir was trying to hide himself more easily within the clouds, and pulled it in toward himself.
Quickly, Eiro pulled it into his palm and infused his body with this water, before imdiately freezing it.
Not only his armor, but his whole body was now made of ice. And due to the fact that the probablity of a successful activation rose within the card. Since that was the case, of course Eiro's ability to infuse himself with elents rose a lot higher.
At this point, it was quite incredible... Eiro's whole body was made of ice now, and he was completely translucent. Of course that ant that he would receive extre damage from any fire-based or blunt attacks, but Eiro wouldn't use this sort of form anyway.
But either way, together with Eiro's own transformation, sothing changed in the armor as well. The armor itself seed to turn to ice, and Eiro looked just like a statue carved straight from a huge block of ice.
It was interesting, to say the least. And then, when Eiro made use of the next-step infusion, his body was no longer translucent, since he infused himself with the 'essence' of the elent rather than the elent itself.
He still gave off extrely cold air, and his body was still quite rigid and weaker compared to normal. But the armor once more adapted and turned opaque again, like Eiro wanted it to, "Armodeus, you really outdid yourself. What do I owe you?"
The Elder Dwarf raised his brows surprised, "Ye're not talkin' about money, are ya lad?"
"Of course I am. I an, wouldn't it be a waste of ti for you to make sothing like this and not get paid for it at all?"
"Hah! I didn't make these items for money, lad. I made them because I wanted to work with those materials. So don't even think about payin' in any way, ya hear?" Armodeus exclaid with his arms crossed, before Eiro slightly smiled. He stopped his infusion with the ice and pushed it back out the window, turning it into mist again so that it could join the clouds once more.
"Thank you. I still owe you one, then. If you need my help with anything, I'll co help, no questions asked. Although I would do that anyway, I guess." Eiro pointed out. Once more, Armodeus seed surprised, "Ya would help with anything I want, no questions asked? Even without you owing one?"
"...Of course, aren't we friends? That's how it's supposed to go, right? I an, you ca all the way from Argberg to the capital without hesitation the mont you heard that sothing might have happened to us."
Armodeus lightly chuckled to himself with a nod, "Aye, ye have a point there, lad. Fine, I'll see if I can find anything you could help with. But for now, just take those items and don't worry about it just yet."
Eiro slowly nodded his head, and figured he should try sothing else out that would be quite important for him going forward. He quickly closed the windows and turned off the candles that were lighting up the inside of this carriage.
Quickly, Eiro infused his body with shadow magic completely. Once more, instead of it just affecting his skin, Eiro's whole body turned into a solid mass of shadows. And this affected his armor as well. It turned a deep black and gave off mist in the sa color, shifting around with every single movent of Eiro's body.
"This is rather... interesting. Really, this armor nearly acts like it's part of my body." Eiro pointed out, his voice seeming to co from every part of this carriage that was covered in darkness. aning, currently, ever bit of it.
Armodeus was a bit surprised to see and hear this, since he wasn't aware of what it looked like to be infused with shadows until then.
Slowly, Eiro took a deep breath and did sothing that he only attempted partially until then. It seed like the armor was nearly strengthening the effect of his infusion to an extent though, making the Demon a bit more confident that this would work out.
Eiro pushed himself into the dark surface of the seat that he was sitting on, entering the domain of darkness beyond it. It was like so form of infinitely deep space that Eiro should be able to move through, as if diving through water.
The only thing that he could still see here was the space that he just ca from. The space of the inside of the carriage in front of him. Slowly, Eiro swam through the darkness to the other side of the carriage and peaked his head through a part of the shadows gathered there, coming out right next to Armodeus.
"That's a unique experience, to say the least."
"Holy mother of- Lad, how'd... How'd ya get over here? You were just sitting there!" Armodeus exclaid. It seed like even Nelli, Gondos and Sarius were quite surprised. They were still floating in the sa place as they did before, not having been able to go into this 'domain of darkness' together with Eiro.
The Demon slowly climbed out of this dark space. This was really a unique feeling, as if the areas where no light fell were really just made of water that Eiro could dive into at will.
But now, he stopped infusing himself with the shadows and sat back down on his seat, "This is really a great suit of armor." Eiro pointed out, "I'll have to try a lot of things out with this then. And I'll have to get used to fighting with a shield as well." The Demon pointed out as he raised his left arm, quickly activating the small shield that was there, ant to help Eiro defend against small and weak incoming attacks.
For the next few hours, Eiro and Armodeus spoke about the armor so more, so that Eiro really knew every bit of the structure of the armor.
And then, quite soon, they arrived at their destination. Since Lognir was still able to hide his own body amazingly well, he was able to land in the manor's gardens without anyone being able to see anything. Of course, since the Manor was in the middle of nowhere to begin with, there wasn't anyone around to see Lognir land there in the first place, although so guards in the distance could have beco a bit nervous seeing sothing like Lognir land in the distance.
Either way, Eiro noticed Lognir slowly placing the carriage down onto the ground while letting go of Lugo and the two horses. Lugo qucikly ran out of the way, nervously shaking after this unique trip he just experienced, while the horses were still asleep and laying where Lognir placed them down.
Of course, Eiro quickly made his way out of the carriage and helped the horses up, manipulating their blood a bit to remove so of the traces of his anesthetic in there to help them wake up earlier. After safely bringing the horses to the stables and taking everything out of the carriage together with Armodeus, they all made their way into the manor for now.
The house was pretty empty, the only ones that seed to be here were Krog and Jess. Both of them were in Krog's room. Laying in his bed.
With a deep groan, Eiro made his way to the Warrior's room and knocked on the door, "You two, I'm back, and since I can already hear your heartbeats while you're asleep, try to be a bit more quiet." Eiro exclaid, and all movent in the room beyond the door ceased for a mont, before heavy footsteps could be heard approaching the door.
Krog ripped the door open and stared at Eiro, only covered by a blanket in front of his crotch, while Jess still laid in Krog's bed, only covered by a thin blanket as well, "Hey Eiro... couldn't you have just... you know... Let us know a little bit differently?"
"Probably, but this way was more fun." Eiro pointed out, "Anyway, finish up in here and then co downstairs, we have a guest."
Krog grumbled as he closed the door, before Eiro made his way back downstairs to the sitting room where Lognir, in his human form of course, and Armodeus already took a seat. Lugo was also in the corner of the room, trying to sleep despite how nervous he still was.
A few minutes later, both Krog and Jess ca downstairs, Jess a bit more annoyed than Krog was. Although it seed like Jess had issue walking for so reason. Not that Eiro cared at all.
"So, I'll introduce Jas to him later if I have the chance, but this here is Lognir, the Dragon of Truth and Solomon's familiar. He helped recover all my mories and taught a lot of new things."
"...Excuse ?" Krog pointed out with a wry smile, looking at that disgustingly handso man standing right to Eiro.. Quickly, the Dragon introduced himself properly as well, although both Krog and Jess were still in disbelief at what was going on.
