Lightning Is the Only Way

"Until next time!"

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Metallic footsteps could be heard as a tiger, literally armored to the teeth, walked away with the remainder of his ore mountain.

No fur could be seen on the tiger anymore as everything was hidden behind an imposing set of armor.

Beside Gravis was a two-by-two-by-two-meter cube of metal.

This tiger had been a rich customer!

"That's so much!" Stella said with surprise as she arrived beside Gravis, looking at the metal.

Gravis nodded. "Yep."

"Just with one customer, you already earned over 500 million Immortal Stones!" Stella exclaimed with wonder.

This ability to make money was simply too terrifying!

"Not really," Gravis said. "After all, I won't sell this cube of metal."

"You won't?" Stella asked with surprise. "Why?"

"Protection and ," Gravis answered.

Stella became confused.

Gravis gestured to the cube. "I will use up all of this for equipment for all four of us," Gravis said.

"What? So much!?" Stella shouted in shock.

Gravis nodded. "Of course. After all, I want you all to be as powerful as possible in the case that something unforeseen happens. Additionally, when you wear your equipment while talking to customers, they will be even more impressed. A first impression is important, after all."

Stella couldn't really argue against that, but she still felt like this was too much to accept.

That was so much money!

However, Gravis ignored her protests as he directly started to forge equipment for Stella.

After a lot of back and forth, Stella accepted her new armor, which looked far too imposing for her taste. She liked modest appearances more.

'Well, Gravis is already my man, so I might as well follow his example for a bit,' Stella thought.

The armor looked cold, bloodthirsty, and imposing, but in her eyes, it only shone with the calm light of Gravis' love.

This was something that Gravis had created for her.

Stella put the armor on, and it fit her perfectly. Her movement also wasn't impaired. Even more, she had seen how Gravis had used some of his scales to create an inner armor and some gasses to create a layer between the outer and inner armor.

If an attack wasn't powerful enough, the gasses would simply remain inside the armor, but if an incredibly powerful attack hit the armor, the explosion of the gasses would reduce the damage of the attack significantly.

armor wouldn't be able to resist another attack with such power since the layer of gasses would have already escaped, but that was
