Chapter 761 Aquarina's Birthday Party
-----
Once I walked downstairs, I was greeted with my entire family working with several of our family's servants in the preparations. We were going to celebrate Aquarina's birthday in my house mostly because Aquarina kept asking for that instead of her own.
"Ah Sylphy, you're finally awake, what have you been doing lately?" Wondered my father.
"I was giving some finishing touches to my equipment, like it?" I asked, showing my father and my mother my creations.
The full body armor shone with draconic power, the ring unleashed a demonic strength, and the tiara held divine and holy magic. The two were left surprised as they appraised the items using their own skills, magic, and experience.
"I-I have never been someone that can craft more than basic armor, clothes, and weapons, at most I know how to imbue magical power into equipment using Monster's Magic Crystals but quite honestly, this goes beyond that..." My father sighed. "S-Sylphy, you've already reached the level of Grandmasters of Crafting and Alchemy!"
"Eh?! Really?!" I wondered. "Hahaha, you don't have to praise me so much... I still got a long way to go. Right, mom?"
However, my mom, who seemed to have much more experience and knew exactly how magical weapons, armor, accessories, and all of that worked, was left speechless... Her mouth was wide open as she glanced at the equipment, her eyes almost popping out of her face.
"M-Mom?" I asked.
"T-This is... It's completely different from what you did to the bag, right?!" Asked my mother. "Instead of granting the items life so they can grow stronger by themselves, somehow you've granted them such high level enchantments that... by merely fulfilling the conditions and equipping these items, a person's strength, defense, magical power, and even... luck?! Can increase tremendously!"
"Eh? But isn't that how magical equipment works?" I wondered.
"N-Not to that extent! Well, the highest graded items do, probably but not to... this ridiculous extent!" My mother was amazed. These "game-like" items were in a completely different level than anything she seemed to have seen before, maybe. "Usually these items grant a special form to unleash a wearer's powers and strength, sometimes giving them an affinity, or enhancing the power of magic spells formed, or even facilitating their conjuration. Sometimes they have enough power to cut through mountains, or unleash beams of destruction, but... Not to the extent their own power merges with the wielder's body by itself."
"Oh..." I said. "W-Well, I guess I did add a lot of crazy materials into them and maybe... Some Spiritual Magic and stuff."
"What's the matter, Faylen?" Uncle Arafunn showed up. "I've never seen you make that face before in a while..."
"I-I am just surprised." My mother sighed. "Well, and a bit concerned, this girl just keeps surprising me with new things like this... What if someone tries to take her away from us because of these powers?"
"Well, it isn't that different from what I am already being chased around for." I shrugged. "You shouldn't really worry more than you've already worried, mom."
"Hmmm... Sylphy's unique abilities, magic, and talent might have brought to this world a brand-new way to create equipment." Arafunn giggled. "Well, it is certainly interesting, I can't deny I am looking forward to how your daughter will one day shape the entire world."
"Ah, Arafunn, stop saying stuff like that." My mother sighed. "For now, let's continue making the birthday party preparations! A-And Sylphy, make sure to keep that equipment saved inside your bag while you can, if people see it they might panic due to its immense value and magic power."
"I-I get it." I nodded. "I made a similar ring for Aquarina though..."
"You what?!" My father and my mother asked at the same time.
"Yeah, a gift for her." I said. "Is it wrong?"
"T-That's... Well, I guess we can't really tell you not to do it now." My mother sighed. "I better cast an invisibility spell on it and a small enchantment... {Enchant: Invisible Accessory}"
FLAAASH!
Ding!
[The [Calamitous Abyssal Sea Dragon Ring (S Grade)] Ring has gained the [Invisibility: Stealth] Enchanted Ability!]
[By imbuing some mana, it is possible to transform this ring's aura to look like a normal, average magic ring and not surprise those that appraise it.]
"Oh, this is amazing, mom! Can you give it to my other equipment? Like that it won't bring unwanted attention."
"Yeah, I'll do it." My mother nodded. "I was already planning to."
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Like that, mom enchanted the other equipment like that, this was a more advanced form of magic I hadn't seen before, Enchantments to physical objects that remain permanently are an incredibly powerful magic, usually requiring ridiculous quantities of runes and mana. I have the mana, but not enough runes for it.
"Thanks mom, but can you enchant them to give them more magic and stuff?" I wondered innocently.
"Of course I can't." She sighed. "This level of enchantment can only be made once in a piece of equipment, if I do another, it might override, or the item could explode due to the over accumulation of magic power. Smaller enchantments can be done several times on a single item, but the level of enchantment I used on yours is the highest grade, so it can't be stacked with any others."
"Oh... I wonder if I will be able to conjure that enchantment magic one day though." I wondered, feeling slightly hopeful.
"You will, probably in a few more years." She smiled. "You've already grown very strong, just keep going at your own pace. But never hurry yourself for more power, I know you're a girl constantly seeking knowledge and magic, but don't overdo it, enjoy your childhood. Your parents are here to protect you and make sure you'll live well, dear."
"Yep, don't do more than what you've done, okay?" My father sighed. "Even I get worried!"
"Hahaha, okay, I get it." I giggled. "I'll take it easy for now."
The day continued, and the preparations were almost done when Aquarina and the rest of my friends arrived with their families, the party began in the evening, starting with music, dance, and delicious snacks, drinks, trats, and sweets.
