Chapter 20 – Creative Demon Lord (Part 1)

I understood it while hunting with Fir… I have no weapons .

Using a sword was fine because I’m in a different world, but it didn’t really suit me . Right now I’m looking at the DP catalogue to find a suitable subst.i.tute .

“Hmm…” I pondered as I scratched my head .

Since it’s the most orthodox weapon, swords are the type with the most variety . I was only using cheap ones though, but maybe if I buy a more expensive weapon I can find something good, though I feel bad for wasting money only to check if a single sword is useful .

Spears and bows are also being sold, but they seem hard to use, so they don’t work as subst.i.tutes . There are also some weapons with romance, like a sickle or a whip, but it wouldn’t suit me either, having a high dexterity apparently doesn’t make it easier to wield a weapon .

On the other hand, the steel bar was easy because I just needed to move it around, my main weapon should give a feeling like that…

Perhaps a club?

… Nice, let’s put it as a candidate .

Though how would a Demon Lord look if they wielded a club? It’s fine if there isn’t anything else, but I would like to use something that made me look like a last boss .

I mean, what would a last boss wield? Would a sword fit better?

… Actually, most last bosses weren’t humanoids in the first place, maybe I should learn a spell to change my form to a monstrous one? That’d be nice, being able to make a beastly howl would be awesome .

Wait, wait, I should calm down and think about it seriously .

I need a weapon that doesn’t knock enemies down with skill or technique, but with brute force and weight . In that case a large weapon is nice, like a hammer or a… Great sword?

I moved my finger through the DP catalogue with this idea in mind .

Since it is still a sword, I will be benefited by the ‘swordsmans.h.i.+p’ skill, and this weapon will have more weight than the sword or steel bar I used so far .

And most importantly, it’s cool .

Being cool is important because it will increase my motivation . Training is boring, if there isn’t something to make it exciting, I’ll be unable to do it for a long time . This is why it’s important, I’m not just a kid that wants to show off .

“Nice, there it is . ” I touched the catalogue and bought a Great Sword .

This was the cheapest one within the list because they were all too expensive .

“I thought you had finally decided to stop playing games, but did you just buy another weapon?”

At that moment, Lefy, who had a triumphant look because she was winning an Oth.e.l.lo game against Iluna, came to me… She never won when I played against her, but feels proud about winning against a little girl .

“This game will one day make me able to take a scale of your dragon form . ” I replied .

“Oh? The scales of this great me are tougher than steel made by the G.o.ds, you know? I’ll look forward to your attempt . ”

I was a bit frustrated while looking at Lefy’s grin, so I grasped the sword tightly, which is when I noticed… It’s light .

This weapon is still too light, it’s useless . There is still more weight than what the small sword or steel bar had, but I wanted something as heavy as a rock . It would be impossible for me to wield that in my previous life, but it should be easy for me right now .

Besides, the blade is thin .

I wanted a big and wide sword that could strike a wall without getting a dent, but right now it looks closer to a Zweihänder or a Claymore, it would probably get damaged if it hit something like that .

It’s probably because this is a weapon made for humans, so even though it’s heavy, the sword has plenty of mechanisms to lighten it up, even if just a little… But I don’t need that, a heavier sword would be much better .

Perhaps things would be different with a more expensive weapon, but after spending that much DP on ‘Flight’, I prefer not splurging too much . However, it’s pointless with this kind of cheap stuff .

Wait… I remember seeing something while I looked at the catalogue before .

I quickly scrolled through the list and found the skill I wanted, ‘Weapon Creation’ .

Its effect explanation says to prepare the material, and activate the skill while imagining the shape of the weapon you want to produce while pouring mana on it .

The final result depends on the quality of the 3 ingredients, it gets easier to make higher quality items as the skill levels up .

If I can’t find a good weapon I’ll just make one myself, I’ll become an all-round creative demon lord!
