Chapter 344 Eena - The Goddess Raiment
Looking over at Helion, Shiro silently asked permission to bind the armour to herself.
"Go on." Helion smiled and gestured for her to collect her armour.

Soul Bound: Shiro.
Looking at the stats along with the properties of the skill Eena, Shiro couldn't help but rub her eyes a little to make sure that she was seeing things correctly.
'Holy f*ck! 50% of my highest stat into raw power!? If I combine it with my nanotech, wouldn't I basically have a city destroying weapon at hand!?' She thought to herself in shock.
However, there was a slight mystery with the armour and that was the question marks in regard to the third cast. The only hint that she had of what it could be is the name, Chosen of Stars.
'Since I'm apparently blessed by the goddess of stars when I activate the first cast, perhaps the third cast is something similar to an avatar?' She speculated while equipping her armour.
Feeling the power surge through her, she designated herself as the target once more and chose to only siphon her INT stat.

"Oh damn… My MP is crazy now…" Shiro muttered as she couldn't suppress the excitement in her mind.
{Erm… not to burst your bubble, but can you use it all?} Nimue asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Ah." Freezing up in realisation, Shiro understood that she may or may not have been a 'little' impatient and excited about her new armour.
'Don't worry, think about the long-term benefits.' Shiro replied while hiding her embarrassment.
{I am so done. *Sigh* Honestly, you've made me flip so many tables in my mind I can probably stack up a tower bigger than the world tree.} NImue rolled her eyes.
'Haha, it'll be fine~' Shiro dismissed it with a smile.
"Shiro? Shiro? You okay there?" Helion asked in worry while waving his hands in front of her face.
"Mn? Oh yeah I'm fine what's up?" Shiro replied with a slight cough.
"Not much. You just sort of spaced out then. Are you sure you're alright?" He asked again with concern.
"Yeah don't worry. So, what do I owe you? You can take the rest of the materials if you want for payment since I only got them for the armour. Now that you succeeded in upgrading the armour, I don't have much use for the materials anymore." Shiro offered with a smile.
"Nah it's fine. I actually got a title and a passive for forging a red grade armour that was blessed by the star goddess." Helion laughed since this was quite beneficial for him as well.
"Are you sure? At least let me treat you to a meal or something."
"Sure, I'll take you up on that offer."
Leaving the dungeon, Shiro brought him to the restaurant and ordered some food.
"So, what are your plans now?" Helion asked curiously.
"Hmm… now that you've upgraded my armour, I can challenge harder dungeons, so I'll probably reach level 100 and get my B ranked class. After that, I'll most likely be visiting japan so that's going to be quite fun. What about you?" Shiro asked with a smile.
"Me? Well I've just been working on my techniques and making equipment for one of the factions before coming here for your commission. As for what I'm going to do later… probably just more crafting. Compared to you lot who grind dungeons, my days are pretty mundane haha." Helion laughed.
"Well fighting in dungeons can get quite boring depending on what happens. But generally, I'd say it's because I enjoy it that I don't get bored." Shiro replied after a moment of thought.
"I see. Also, how's Aarim doing? Is she doing well in the party?"
"Yeah. She's quite focused on research but other than that, she spends quite a bit of time with the party."
"That's good. I was kinda worried that she'd be a bit out of place, but it seems like my worries are for naught."
Talking a little more about the party, they eventually reached the subject of 'Rogue Assassin'.
"Ah, I wonder how the guns are made. They seem to be a mix of both magic and hand craft from what I can tell." Helion smiled in thought.
"Heh~ Seems like everyone's been curious about this person. They don't even know the person's gender."
"Well of course. No one has seen guns that effective after all. Though, I'm just curious about its composition. If we can understand how they're able to enchant all the components and make it work, it would be a huge step in the blacksmithing community. We'll be able to make more advanced weapons for people." Helion replied.
"But what if the lower level adventurers get their hands on a gun. Wouldn't that make it so that lower levels become a slaughter fest?" Shiro asked as she was curious about his response.
"Hmm… that's true. But at the same time, isn't it that was already? With more talented people appearing left and right, high quality swords are being forged in the lower levels. These guns are just the next stage in the process. It's no longer a matter of 'if' only when. With the guns proven to be possible to be effective, research would be resumed all over the world."
Hearing his response, Shiro nodded her head in agreement.
Back in Aria, even without the Nanomancer class, the scientists were able to mass produce the most basic gun for the low levels. Proving that this can happen in the current world later down the line.
After talking for a little longer, they finished their meal and left for the teleport shrine once more.
"So, I suppose I'll see you later then. If you need any help or anything like that, just give me a message and I'll come to where you are." Shiro offered with a smile since he had done that for her as well.
"I'll keep that in mind then. After all, having someone like you back me up is quite reassuring." Helion nodded.
Giving her one last wave, he entered the portal and disappeared.
"Now then, I don't suppose it's time to hit level 100." Shiro said, smiling while looking back at the castle.
In that time that she hits level 100, the elders should have gotten enough mana to sustain the tree even without Iziuel, proving that the country can shoulder the burden rather than a spirit.
Targeting a dungeon that had strong independent monsters rather than grouped up ones, Shiro wanted to see how easy it was to kill them alone now that she had received an upgrade.
However, as much as she wanted to test armour skill, she knew that her links couldn't withstand that kind of stress just yet. After all, with the amount of mana she had now, 20% was no joke.
Arriving at the dungeon gates, she entered without anyone knowing and created two guns.
It was time for her to reach level 100.
