A Dragon Idol's Reincarnation Tale

Core of the Mechanoid: A unique skill allowing the owner to imitate the absorption and expulsion of mana of a mana battery. Nullifies arcane corruption accumulation within the body of the user, and turns 50% of all magical damage into Mana. When mana is expended through the use of runes or manatech, increase their mana efficiency, stats, and skill effectiveness while close to the owner by 15%. Allows the owner to crystallize their mana into a temporary mana battery that applies this skill’s effect that lasts a Peolyncian day upon creation, but temporarily decreases the owner’s maximum Mana by 25% for a Peolyncian week. Upon re-usage, resets the timer for full recovery. Skill included: [Body of Earth] [Dwarven Magic Resistance] [Arcane Corruption Immunity] [Mana Control Lv. 10] [Mana Efficiency Lv. 10] [Mana Conduit Lv. 10] [Sage’s Wisdom Lv. 10]

Grand Arcanatechnician: A title granted to a mortal recognized by the Goddess of Change, Ingenuity, and Ambition, whose control had been usurped by individual [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]. Due to usurpation, the effects of this title may only be activated when in the presence of [The Light]’s [Musical Resonation]. When creating an item that combines blacksmithing, artificer work, and runesmithing, increases stats and skill potency depending on the effectiveness of the [Arcane Crystal] used as a mana battery or the fuel for the fire. Depending on the enchantments engraved and the elemental charge on the [Arcane Crystal], may vastly alter the end product

“How are you feeling, Master Dwarf?” Master Kushlek’zar asked Grimnir while the latter was resting on an infirmary bed inside our subspace, taking notes on his condition like a doctor.

“Memory is okay after the lass jogged it. Body is all right, although I do feel this stinging pain in my chest.”

Master nodded, showing a wide smile. “Effects of meeting a god. I shouldn’t need to remind you that even we blessed have a hard time speaking with our patron god, and even if you have my apprentice’s protection, don’t be arrogant. If God Bleidla wanted to, he could have exterminated your sense of self right there and then. Respect must be shown.”

Grimnir grimaced, massaging the sides of his heads as if he had a headache. “… Haa, nah, sorry. Bleidla … Haaa, my history with him was one-sided, but it still shaped an important part of myself. Couldn’t ignore my anger. Couldn’t stop myself. Had to speak. It’s better that we ended it this way; it was illuminating, even, now that I know my path forward, and it ain’t involving that smith god.”

“Unbelievable …” Master smacked his hand on his head, letting a loud sigh out of his velociraptor maw. “You are now a Saint of the Goddess of Change, Grimnir! The Revolution Queen! This is historic, you are her first blessed in recorded history, so you must act as such, my friend. Similar to my service to Xohulotel, ha ha! We are trailblazers! Ha, if we were part of the Fire Pantheon, maybe Askaino would look on us favorably as the Trailblazing God.”

Master stopped writing on his party bracelet’s notes function and grabbed Grimnir’s arm, shaking it in a manly manner by holding it by the biceps. Yet, when he saw our resident blacksmith’s face, he shook his head with sullen eyes and let go.

“Sorry, Kush, it’s just … I don’t know how to feel about this. Expected to not become a blessed, but suddenly am now one for a Goddess I hadn’t planned for? It’s as Bleidla said, you can only become a blessed if you can serve your patron god’s ideology or goals, and I ain’t the one for the Goddess of Change, Ingenuity, and Ambition. But, still, she gave me this.”

Grimnir reached his arm out, tensed it up as his slightly tanned skin became blue, exuding mana mist from it until it hardened up into a sapphire gem. He grabbed it, played with it for a moment before throwing it over to me. I held it up, understanding he wanted me to appraise it.

Mana Eyes.

Arcane Crystal: A mana crystal made from [Core of the Mechanoid], that may act as a temporary mana battery. A tool necessary for the activation of the [Grand Arcanatechnician]’s effect, requiring alchemy to change its mana type and give it skills, while enchanting is required for enchantments. Unless properly smelted, this crystal will cease functioning either when its mana reserves are used up or once a day has passed after its creation: Mana: 857/857

“… Honestly, if you think about it, it’s pretty impressive, right?” I stated after I sent the appraisal to everybody inside the clinic with [Telepathy].

Ellaine nodded. “It requires five crafting disciplines: blacksmithing, runesmithing, artificer work, enchanting, and alchemy. It’s, ehe, quite revolutionary, since otherwise Master’s blessing wouldn’t be able to work properly. It’s fitting for Goddess Chihiro.”

“… It’s convoluted as hell, if you ask me,” Daichi, one of our resident gamers, complained, shuffling his hair in annoyance. “We don’t have an enchanter in Aurora. Tamae can do simple ones, but she hasn’t practiced it in a long time with all the cooking and background support she’s been doing. Didn’t you say Chihiro went back to Earth? Is this all she could think of? She would make a terrible game dev if she has to add this many requirements to make it ‘balanced.’”

I shrugged, as I wasn’t familiar enough to give my opinion on the subject. As Ellaine and Daichi were Grimnir’s apprentices, they would know best what was possible and doable. Still, I couldn’t help but agree with what Daichi stated, since I did witness Grimnir’s smith duel against the Luedbrumdar clan and how it could strain the craftsmen. Or, all the runesmithing sessions I helped Grimnir with.

“Lad, you might be an Earthling, but you shouldn’t speak like that about one of our High Queens,” Rudigan chastised him. As Grimnir was a blessed with the Pantheon of Earth now, Crustacia had instructed Rudigan to greet and guide Grimnir in his new role, so I allowed the both of them into the subspace.

“Nonsense. She’s your goddess. I can’t tiptoe over everything I say,” Daichi responded.

A sharp tongue. Daichi, the yes-man, sure had grown ever since he gave up his pursuit as a fire mage and became a smith apprentice instead. I guess having something he was actually passionate about made sure he wouldn’t fall back on his sycophant ways, letting him be more honest. Even if that honesty showed his abrasive side, which had caused us some trouble in the past.

“After all, she should have given Master an easier blessing to fulfill! As her first blessed, he should have been given the most overpowered unique skill and blessing ever, like come on, you have to agree how unfair this is! Hestia-san, did you really have to usurp his blessing like that! Come on, you can’t do your blacksmith dirty like that!”

… I take it back, he’s still a damn bootlicker.

Before I could “smack” some sense into him, my Master clapped his hands, bringing our attention back to him and Grimnir. “There is enough time to test out his capabilities later on, but for now, I think it’s better to present the fact that this is the first blessed of Goddess Chihiro. That is the important fact here. He is a Saint, like me but unlike you two.”

Rudigan and I nodded.

Champions were there to further their god’s goals through Divine Quests and to also protect their followers, while a Saint was responsible for the more religious part of the job. Spreading the god’s ideals and lessons, furthering the growth of their religion by being part of the church. Meaning, as Chihiro’s Saint, Grimnir had to be involved with the church of Chihiro and railroad guild.

That didn’t mean Grimnir wasn’t allowed to get into action, but it wasn’t part of his job details. Thankfully, Chihiro did send him a System message to explain why he was chosen.

“It is even an extensive message,” Rudigan said. “You’re lucky, being able to get so long of a message thanks to your blessing in addition to Princess Hestia’s title. Do you know what mine was? ‘Grimnir. Blessed.’ That’s it. You need to use that privilege, just like your mistress.”

“Urraaagh!” Grimnir’s body fell back, laying there in his comfy bed. “… I know it’s an honor, but why me? I am not Broggi. I barely prayed to the Revolution Queen even after everything happened; I might have been creating new equipment because of my desire to help the lass out and to embarrass Bleidla, but that last part is done. Bladdarg, it’s as he said, that anger I held for Bleidla is gone … How am I worthy of being Goddess Chihiro’s Saint?”

A god’s whims. Regardless, questioning this didn’t prove to be productive, so Master Kush pushed the discussion away from it for now and proceeded to ask me what my bonus for usurping the blessing was.

[Battle Frenzy (Minor)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

[Bearer of Kargryxmor’s Blood] has integrated certain abilities from Titles: [Core of the Mechanoid]. Seeking permission for activation … Individual [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor] has usurped control over [Core of the Mechanoid]. Permission automatically granted

[Bearer of Kargryxmor’s Blood] effects on [Battle Frenzy]: [Flashfire] [Light Horizon] [Marine Lungs] [Soul Vision] [Rune Absorption]

As my scales and hair started to shine white, I closed my eyes to use the first of my two new usurped abilities—[Soul Vision]. Coming from Asaka’s [Twilight Paladin], I had already usurped the title far back when I was still in Elyonda, so no notification had appeared when Asaka finally got her title from fulfilling her Divine Quest.

Opening my eyes, the world had turned black as I looked around, leaving me only able to identify the silhouettes of people. Like the skill mentioned, these were souls. The most recognizable ones were Ellaine’s slight pink, Master’s navy blue, and Rudigan’s dark brown souls. Daichi’s and Grimnir’s were plain white, while mine was crimson red.

Looking a bit closer at Grimnir’s, his was slightly fractured, the damage from his extended meeting with Bleidla. This ability wasn’t too bad, as I could use it to identify those close to death without needing to appraise everybody, but at the same time, I could just shoot out some white flames and heal people. Not to mention, I had to be in my [Battle Frenzy] mode to use it, so it was more or less a dead skill to me.

This was why I told Asaka when we were going to Chihiro’s workshop that Ilsaphone trolled me, just like Plesia did by giving me [Marine Lungs]. They couldn’t stop my usurpation, so they just played around it.

Thankfully, Chihiro was less mean.

Once I stopped [Soul Vision], I asked Rudigan to activate [Defensive Rune: Auracoil] for me since he was in full armor. I touched it and activated [Rune Absorption], letting me feel almost the same sensation as if I was usurping some demonic item. Mana flowed into me as if somebody was transferring mana into my body, causing the mana barrier to disappear and the rune to dim out. Curiously, Rudigan couldn’t activate the rune again.

“A System message just appeared and informed me that you ‘usurped’ my rune’s mana, and that I would regain control over it in a moment’s notice,” Rudigan explained. “Not the most conventional ability. Don’t you have to let your blood surge for it to happen?”

I smiled. “It all depends on how I use it. [Battle Frenzy] is my killing mode, but just like my usurpation abilities, I just need timing to be on my side. If I can cancel one rune at the correct moment, then it’s worth it.”

“You can take over a Dhuinn rune and it would be extremely beneficial,” Grimnir stated, and I agreed.

Even though [Soul Vision] and [Rune Absorption] weren’t as powerful compared to [Flashfire] and [Light Horizon], these were still two more tools in my arsenal.

In any case, once Master was satisfied, he patted Grimnir's back and was released from the clinic. Our resident blacksmith immediately told us he would try out his new skill, only for Rudigan to stop him, lecturing him on how he first “had to speak to the church of Chihiro.” Naturally, as I could sympathize with Grimnir, I overruled Rudigan as Grimnir had to get breakfast anyways.

“Tamae probably isn’t finished with your meal yet, so wait in your forge,” I told him, earning me Grimnir’s appreciation and Rudigan’s dwarvish grumbling.

Ellaine and Daichi went with him, while Master, Rudigan, and I went to our subspace’s restaurant. Once inside, our ears were instantly filled with the noise of chatter and eating, as four tables were filled with people enjoying their breakfast. Meanwhile, my four maids—Tasianna, Svena, Lorena, and Haati—were coming in and out of the kitchen, serving everybody in attendance their food.

First table was occupied by only three people, as they were the saurians—Krim’Slak, Grazlahta, and Akast—who were a bit too bulky for anybody else to sit with them. With two bodybuilder-sized humanoid carnosauruses and one hulking crocodile, only one more person could sit with them and it would be their leader, Master.

The second table was filled with the students, with Tatsuya and Kyouya retelling their entire trip in detail to Haruka, Asaka, and the other members of the Magical Biscuits. Since Nishio, Misaki, Kazumi, and Kohaku were with the expedition force while the former two boys were traveling with me, everybody had a lot to tell each other, making it honestly feel like I was listening to a group of adventurers telling each other of their adventures.

The third was filled with the rest of my companions. Yorshka, Farron, and their daughter Priscilla were having a family bonding moment while eating with my twin wyvern attendants, Shay and Beth. Our resident dryad, Rita, joined the Nordor family and my bodyguards too, curiously asking the two wyverns of their experience fighting Manaethala and that dragonslayer, Galg. Sadly, Sis wasn’t around, since she ate early and went out to repay her debt for destroying that massive dwarven statue after the battle.

Rajah and his mother Varya and two siblings Shere and Ajay were also there, enjoying their meals. With the two former having evolved into rank Bs, they were so large they barely fit into the restaurant, making me wonder once again if I should enlarge the room for our monster companions.

The last table was, well, it looked a bit sad as only a single person sat there while everybody else had a group. It was none other than Vifi’Yok, and unsurprisingly—as I had seen her eat for eight days now—she was devouring multiple sandwiches filled with various meats and vegetables. No fish, of course. Still, she was happy, I believed, and she hadn’t caused any trouble ever since she “joined” our little merry band, aside from causing people to be wary of her.

Rudigan and I greeted everybody before we entered the kitchen, where we saw Asaka and Tamae handling everybody’s meals with her sous chefs Ademnis and Ivy, two of the chefs responsible for our restaurant. Although busy, they realized we were here.

“Hey, Hesti-chan!” Tamae called me. “Sorry, bit hectic as always, but, ahhh, so happy I can finally cook in peace, again!”

Peace? This is peace to her? I looked around as I saw countless dirty dishes piling up at the sink, while some of the counters had spills and bits of vegetables laying around. Tamae was trained by her Michelin chef parents, so she knew the importance of cleanliness too well to leave all of that unintended, not unless she was too busy.

Still, considering she had been working in the soup kitchen for the survivors of Maagneil’s attack on Inkoran-Tazul, this probably was easier to her. Countless people had lost their homes and houses, while others were grieving for their deceased friends and family members.

With things being under construction and the inner parts of the city too full to accommodate the survivors, temporary dwellings made from earth mages were constructed for them. A soup kitchen funded by King Fugnarus was installed there to feed everybody while they waited for things to return to normal, and Tamae volunteered to work there.

Nevertheless, a lot of people had to be fed, including the mages and builders hired for the rebuild. If this was “peace” to her, then maybe I should be helping them out.

“Grimnir’s, Ellaine’s, and Daichi’s meal? Sure, it’s nearly finished so bring it to them if you can, thanks!” Tamae said before focusing on meal prep once again. “Asaka, I need you to prepare the bones for the lamp chops.”

“Sheesh, come on, that’s the hard part to get right!” she complained, but continued anyways.

Once the plates were filled, Rudigan helped me bring them to Grimnir’s workshop. Noticing the heat coming from behind the curtains where the smithy was, including a ton of shouting, the grumpy dwarf let out a deep sigh before he began to grumble how I shouldn’t have stopped him.

Barging into the smithy, we saw Grimnir and Daichi dance around, clapping their hands as they screamed into an open furnace, watching the flames burn. Their caveman-like actions made my mouth wrinkle up, baffled at how they were acting and that Ellaine joined them by only clapping. No, honestly, why were they looking at the fire like that?

“Never thought you were a Danterno worshipper, Grimnir,” Rudigan teased him. “Your fire mage apprentice corrupted your mind?”

“Hey, I never worshiped any of the Peolyncian gods. My tutors back at the church all tried to make me, but even they couldn’t!” Daichi snapped back.

Fiery as ever, he would make a fine Shiterno follower if the ones I knew already were any examples. Thankfully, unlike them, he had somebody who could cool his head. Ellaine waved her hands, looking embarrassed as we caught them at a wrong moment.

“W-wait, hold on, this isn’t what it’s looking like, all right? Here! Look!” Ellaine pointed into the furnace, further worrying me as maybe Daichi had actually brainwashed her to follow Shiterno.

Oh the woes, I shouldn’t have been worried about Klea, I should have been worried about Daichi all this time! Damn you, Shiterno, you messed up my friends once again! Bleidla told me to help you the next time I meet you, but that won’t—

“Hestia, I can read your mind just fine from the faces you are making. Just look into the furnace, please!”

… Welp. In the end, I decided to push those weird thoughts away and obey Ellaine.

Looking inside the furnace, Rudigan and I winced as we noticed something blue inside—it was the arcane crystal Grimnir had made with his unique skill. With a wide smirk, Grimni took it out with some tongs, causing the flames to suddenly die down a bit from losing their fuel.

“It’s reacting similarly to when we were using your scale-dust to stoke the flames for the harder to smelt monster materials. The crystal is actually using my mana to generate the flames, keeping it alive despite an absence of coal or logs.” Suddenly, though, he crushed the crystal with the tongs, causing it to dissipate into the air as if it never existed. “Used up all the mana already, so you can guess how useless this is in practice. However! However! It made me think, and I realized what this unique skill can actually do after I had some time to think and test things out. Rudigan, we’re resistant against magic, right?”

He nodded. “[Dwarven Magic Resistance]. Our racial skill reduces the damage by 50%.”

“Correct, and that skill was integrated into my unique skill, allowing me to absorb the mana of offensive spells. Normally, the mana would overflow and leave my body if it exceeds my maximum, but that is when I noticed that I could act as a mana battery and send the mana elsewhere. I don’t need to store it, I could use it immediately.” He then had Ellaine fetch him one of the manatech bulbs she was repairing. “Hit me with a weak spell.”

I did exactly what he said and shot him with a [Wind Slash], causing him barely any damage, but the mana he absorbed from my spell was immediately used to light up the bulb he was holding. As I saw it flicker, Grimnir told me to repeat the spell a couple times, eventually allowing the bulb to light up for over ten seconds.

With his new immunity against arcane corruption, I had a realization that made my eyes widen like a goldfish. I turned my head around, snapping my eyes over to his blasthammer sitting on Ellaine’s workbench.

“Yup!” he shouted in excitement at my realization of what he meant. “The old design of my blasthammer was using a cooling system to prevent the mana battery from sizzling out, while I rarely ever used its mana shot function since it would blow the battery up. Now, though, this solves the issue of how we needed to optimize the inefficient mana battery problems we had ever since I took up Daichi as my apprentice!”

That long … Holy, it’s been four months since Tatsuya and the others joined us, huh? Time sure flies.

“The double fire and ice runes helped keep everything stable. While we still need a mana battery to keep the weapon working even without my mana injection—and for general structural efficiency—now I can act as an additional mana battery due to my unique skill, keeping the one inside the weapon intact, or even my power armor!”

“And!” Ellaine and Daichi ran over to the former’s workbench again, picking up multiple wooden slates full of blueprints, showing me each of them. With a wide smile, Ellaine began her explanation. “You see, watching Master Broggart—I mean, the fake Master Broggart—work made me realize what I have been doing wrong. The problem is the construction of the battery for the blasthammer in general; as in, the design was flawed from the very beginning and none of us caught it.”

Daichi took over. “I’m not as good at the smithing part as Master Grimnir, but he had taught me how to plan the crafting process by drawing out the pieces. Instead of that fat, giant cylindrical battery, the battery has to be slimmer, like a rod, to reduce the internal heat as a larger surface area cools it down better. With more openings wires can be attached to, to transfer mana, we can configure how mana is transferred to make it more efficient and faster.”

“We’ll need Haruka to work out the math and physics to assure we have it correct.” Ellaine then pointed at Grimnir. “But the biggest difference is Master’s unique Skill. Usually, two or more batteries aren’t needed for conventional manatech, as the functions aren’t super complicated. When a piece of manatech is complicated, the build of the item is usually large enough to accommodate a larger mana battery. Our blasterhammer and the guns we made for Kazumi and Kohaku are outliers, as they need a lot of mana, but are too small for the proper battery.”

Grimnir then produced another arcane crystal and threw some of my leftover scale-dust into the furnace, causing it to roar out. He then shoved the crystal while still holding it into the flames, causing him to groan once or twice before he pulled it out, showing us the crystal and how it was undamaged.

“The crystals can be further refined into proper batteries, and we can personally configure them to our liking using alchemy and enchanting. Tasianna needs to join us for the testing, and Aurora needs to get an enchanter. Uh, how about that Morgiana girl. What was her name again?”

“Thyra.”

“Right! Or her mother, or Ellaine’s mother. Get one of them to help us. I already said this before, and I think I mean it this time, we might be on the brink of a new revolution for manatech creation if my unique skill works as I think it will. Ahem, as Goddess Chihiro envisioned it to work. We need materials, we need funds for testing—so get Amelia to help us get that money—and I need the brains to fine tune our mistakes to get this project to work. If we’re about to tackle that damn Prince of Envy, then I better make use of this blessing of mine!”

“… Hehehe—Hahahahahaha!” I couldn’t hold back my laughter any longer, so overwhelmed by it that my stomach began to ache as I couldn’t stop even after two minutes of constant laughing. Once I finally recovered, I was taking in so many deep breaths, my brain was starting to feel dizzy from the oxygen intake, but still, I smiled. “You just woke up and our last fight had only just ended a week ago, but you’re already back in the groove?”

“I AM ON FIRE!” He looked to his apprentices. “RIGHT?”

“WE ARE ON FIRE!” Daichi shouted back.

Ellaine, on the other hand, had enough common sense to stop herself. “… Guys, Mister Rudigan might actually think of us as Danterno followers.”

That only earned them a chuckle from me, while Rudigan shook his head, but didn’t grumble even for a second.

“You know, if we’re bringing so many people onboard to help you with the project, it does mean that your normal smithing duties will be delayed. That, my friend, I cannot allow as the party leader of Aurora, since you still haven’t seen our Event Quest rewards and what other loot we got on my side.” My revelation caused Grimnir to freeze. “You, Daichi, and Ellaine are busy already … So we’re going to need some help.”

“… Ahhh, that’s how you’re getting me to accept their invitation.”

I nodded, causing him to sigh.

“Then so be it. I shall go to that meeting between the blacksmith’s and the railroad guild. Might also be the perfect time to reveal myself. Even if I am not a perfect blessed for Goddess Chihiro, seeing how much her gift might help us, I have a duty to at least do my best as a Saint.”

“That’s the spirit!” Rudigan smacked him on the back.

“I can’t slack off either,” I said, before clearing my voice. “I’ve also been thinking of how I could help in this matter. If I can buff up people, why can’t I try to buff up your effectiveness while you’re working with a song? Our craftspeople also deserve to smile!”

I had far too many spell song slots after all the Divine Quests I’ve fulfilled, and with [Musical Renaissance Diva] allowing me to mix songs together for their synergy, it was about time for me to create some new songs. It helped that it would support Grimnir in the process.

Now, only one question remained.

“… So, you want to eat your breakfast before it gets cold?”

The three of them looked at the plates Rudigan and I were holding up all this time.

Grimnir nodded, looking up. “Eating will only slow us down. Let’s go, to the guilds!”

… Saori and Tamae will smack you if they hear this.
