"How do you feel, Tista?" Lith asked.
"Much better, thank you." She shapeshifted from her human form into the Red Demon a few times to show him that she had completely recovered.
"Then we'd better get back to the Forgemastering lab. As far as I'm concerned, my vacation is over." Lith said.
"I've already contacted Faluel and asked her to send Grandma a list of all the knowledge I collected in Urgamakka so that she can teach us in the case we fail to understand the key points of any technique."
"Are you really willing to share them with me?" Friya asked.
"Why not?" He shrugged. "Phloria and I got them together. I'm planning to share them with both Tista and Phloria as my apprentices while you would learn them anyway from Faluel.
"Don't forget that, aside from Protector, you are the only true disciple she has. Even if you weren't, Phloria would surely share them with you. There's no harm in letting you study in advance."
Elina, Raaz, and Salaark didn't like Lith getting back to work so soon. Yet while his parents couldn't stand the thought of their house having been violated, the Overlord realized that time was of the essence.
'Denying him the opportunity to benefit from my Creation Magic while such a dangerous opponent has already knocked at his door would be beyond idiotic.' She thought. 'I won't give him more gifts, but I'll support Lith however I can.'
Lith needed but a flick of his fingers to activate the Mirror Hall and Warp everyone inside the Forgemastering lab. Thanks to the geyser and to Salaark's arrays, the area of effect of all the tower's abilities extended to the whole Heavenly Plume tribe.
"What's the first point on our agenda?" Tista asked.
"Purifying the Davross while also making sure to not lose any of the Darwen it contains." Lith took a few papers out of Soluspedia and had Solus make copies of them for everyone before putting them back.
"Together with that I got from Vastor's Rock Worm, I should obtain enough Darwen to start crafting a few pieces at the same time and put their abilities to the test. As for the Davross, I need to make sure if it's as underwhelming as it appears."
During the past few weeks, Lith, Solus, and Tista had crafted several enchanted items out of the fabled metal. They had practiced making magic holding rings, swords, shields until reaching perfection, yet the final result was always disappointing.
Impurified Davross was indeed sturdier than Adamant. It even had a better mana flow and a greater amplification rate of the enchantments, but such properties weren't worth the trouble of finding enough Davross when Adamant was much more common.
"Wait, I remember that Faluel said how we need magma to melt the Darwen since it's resistant even to Origin Flames. We don't have a volcano at hand and Xenagrosh warned us about the dangers of Origin Flames destroying it." Solus said.
"That's why my plan is to use Origin Flames to melt solely the Davross while avoiding the Darwen." Lith said. "We'll collect the solid mass, separate it from the liquid, and destroy everything else.
"Remember what Xenagrosh said. While working with Davross, we must consider even traces of Adamant as impurities."
