Raizel was the first to walk up to the armor.
He circled the Ink Dragon Armor and the Fangtian Halberd planted in the ground, inspecting them carefully. At present, the entire set of armor had been fixed in place in the courtyard by Irene's Magic.
Raizel touched the armor and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.
It could be said to be identical to the design Reedus had drawn.
Irene had definitely put effort into it.
High Enchantment Magic was convenient, yes, but there was still a clear difference between doing something casually and doing it with care.
The Ink Dragon Armor Irene forged with High Enchantment Magic could truly be called a work of divine craftsmanship.
The spikes designed into the armor, together with the tip and crescent blades of the Heaven Halberd, were sharp enough to cut hair with a breath and slice through iron without a sound.
Raizel could say with absolute seriousness that this would become Erza's strongest armor.
Even the Nakagami Armor would be useless in comparison!
Especially when dealing with dragons, this armor and Halberd could be called divine weapons.
It seemed that although Irene acted cold toward Erza, her actions were far more honest than her words.
Raizel had no intention of trying it on.
This armor had been tailor-made for Erza. There was no way Raizel could fit into it.
Wendy also stepped forward curiously and touched the armor, her face full of amazement.
Raizel quickly reminded her, "The spiked parts are extremely sharp, so be careful."
"Mm-hm!"
Hearing that, Wendy consciously moved her hands farther away from the sharp areas.
Touching the arm guard of the Ink Dragon Armor, Wendy looked at Irene and asked tentatively,
"Can I do something like this too?"
Irene answered without any change in expression.
"Of course. But your Magic Power is still far from enough."
Wendy nodded excitedly.
"I'll train hard!"
Irene's High Enchantment Magic had given her a tremendous shock.
Compared to Irene's High Enchantment Magic, her own Enchantment Magic was simply crude.
Hearing Wendy's answer, Irene merely gave a soft laugh.
Her impression of Wendy was indeed quite good. Wendy had talent, and she also had ambition.
Even Enchantment Magic was not something an ordinary person could learn.
Seeing that Irene was about to return to the castle, Raizel called out loudly,
"Should I have them come get these, or should I take them away?"
"As you like."
Irene did not even turn her head and walked straight into the castle.
Naturally, "them" included Erza.
'So... Irene doesn't reject Erza coming here at all...'
Raizel raised an eyebrow, gaining another bit of information.
"Then I'll have them come themselves!"
This time, Raizel received no response from Irene.
But if she did not deny it, Raizel would take it as silent agreement.
Raizel turned to Wendy, rubbed her little head, and said,
"You should go in with her. Study properly, got it?"
"Mm. Don't worry, I'll study hard. Then I'm going in."
Raizel watched Wendy trot all the way into the castle.
"Then I'll be leaving first."
Raizel nodded toward Selene.
Kurnugi followed closely behind Raizel, step by step.
He had wanted to run away for a long time. In this place, he did not even dare speak loudly.
Macao and Wakaba were much nicer to talk to. He absolutely loved chatting with them!
It was Irene who had said that since he would have to come back later anyway, he might as well stay here for now.
Weak, pitiful, and helpless, Kurnugi had not dared to object at all.
So he could only sleep soundly instead.
Earlier, Kurnugi had not dared go anywhere near the Ink Dragon Armor or the BlackWarGreymon Claws.
He knew very well that those things had been made specifically to deal with dragons. If he went up and touched them and got hurt, he would be the one in pain.
He had also been there during the armor design contest, but what did a lousy dragon like him know about design?
He had been too busy drinking happily with Macao and Wakaba.
The sky was already getting late, so Raizel planned to bring Erza and the others over tomorrow to collect everything.
The items could just be left there casually.
Who would dare come to Irene and Selene's courtyard to steal things?
Heine and Juliet were standing guard at the main gate.
Although Heine and Juliet were only beings Irene had created by using Personality Enchant on swords, their strength could not be underestimated.
They were completely worthy of being called S-Class Mages of Fairy Tail.
...
The next day—
In the morning, Raizel called Erza and the others, then bought breakfast first.
Raizel planned to eat breakfast at Irene's castle.
When it came to taking advantage of an opening and pushing forward shamelessly, Raizel understood it very well.
In the dining room—
The group sat around the table, eating all kinds of breakfast.
Raizel and Selene, who sat across from him, acted as though nothing was wrong and focused entirely on dealing with their food.
Because Irene, sitting at the head of the table, still habitually put on a dignified and cold face in front of Erza.
And since Erza's face also showed little expression, the two looked like a mother and daughter who had been in a cold war for ages, neither willing to take the first step.
Cana ate while cautiously reading the atmosphere.
'I'm suffering too much!'
She was now regretting why she had listened to Ultear and come over to join the fun for no reason.
Usually, one Erza wearing this kind of expression was already hard enough to deal with.
Now there was an even more oppressive Irene added on top.
'I don't need this meal anymore!'
Cana suddenly wanted to flip the table.
Of course, flipping it was impossible.
After all, she was the lowest creature at this table!
Cana really wanted to ask how Mira could eat so naturally!
Irene casually glanced at Raizel.
She had originally thought Raizel had brought Erza here because he wanted to do something.
But unexpectedly, Raizel said nothing at all and just lowered his head to eat.
That said, Irene was satisfied with this attitude.
Raizel simply knew that things could not be rushed.
The fact that Irene was willing to let Erza eat at the same table as her was already a great improvement.
Although there were still Raizel, Wendy, and Mira sitting between them.
After eating and drinking his fill, Raizel suddenly looked at Irene and said,
"Oh, right. I wanted to ask something. Since you can enchant Dragon Slayer, then logically speaking, enchanting a demon factor should also be possible, right?"
Irene answered without hesitation.
"That's right."
"Then can you enchant a demon factor onto those claws?"
Irene looked Mira over, her face showing no particular expression.
"She is the one who took over the Underworld King and the Nine Demon Gates?"
Raizel had previously mentioned that someone in Fairy Tail had taken over demons and that there was someone who could deprive the five senses, but Irene had no intention of stealing someone else's sense of taste, so she had not looked into it.
Mira nodded and answered,
"Yes, with everyone's help."
Irene shot Raizel an irritated glance.
"You really do ask for a lot. Fine. Consider it part of Wendy's lesson."
Mira's eyes immediately lit up.
"Then I'll be able to Take Over them, right?"
Even if Mira used Cana's cards to carry the claws, she could not use them as conveniently as Erza's Requip. She would still need to put them on.
But Take Over was different.
After taking them over, Mira would only need to use Take Over whenever she wanted to use them.
It would skip the process of wearing them and remove the worry of the claws falling off during battle.
The process was also very simple.
Using Enchantment, a demon factor would be separated from Mira, then that demon factor would be enchanted onto the claws.
As for demon factors, Mira had an overwhelming amount of them after taking over Tartaros.
Irene decided to let Wendy handle this step.
"All right. You try it."
