Chapter 135 - Chapter 131

He really wanted that last one. Though, maybe Ddraig could teach him how to do that. He did have plans to turn a majority of his insides into dragon parts, after all. So being able to make his outsides match shouldn't be too hard, right?

He quickly ran out of things to scan with and for. It had only been a short time since the change began, after all. He'd do some more scans after it had progressed further so he could have more data to extrapolate answers from. So far the physical changes had been minimal, just a few individual cells here and there. He'd wait until more were changed and check again.

With the wands put away, he moved over to his workbench and examined the items he planned to infuse into his being once the change completed. Rias, curious, followed him and examined the items on the table. She only recognized the gauntlet that was Boosted Gear, so she asked the obvious, "What's all this?"

Junichiro smiled and lifted the box containing seven small spheres covered in runes, "Well, these are the Seven Stars of Magic. When properly inserted into my body they will work in concert with my magical core to grant me even more powerful magical abilities. They will increase my magical recovery rate by seven times. Then while my magical power is full, they will continue to trickle feed power into my body to reinforce it and help it grow stronger. Any power that's left over goes into carefully stretching my magical core to increase the amount of power I have."

Rias looked at the small metal objects in shock, "Seriously? They'll do all that?"

Junichiro smirked and nodded. Each of the spheres had been remade not just because of the laser he'd purchased, but because he'd come across a superior material to make them out of. Each one of the spheres was made from Albion's scales. Some of the smaller, younger ones. A dragons natural power and ability was infused into them and made them so much more efficient that his first creations had been. Only a fool wouldn't take the upgraded version.

Rias looked at him dead in the eyes, "What would it take for you to make something like this for the rest of the peerage?"

Junichiro calmly shrugged his shoulders, "Scales from a dragon, at least at the level of a dragon king, but the higher the power of the dragon the better. Then about twenty hours of work per sphere."

Rias's eyes widened as she looked at the white sphere's once more, "Uhm... what are those made of?"

Junichiro's smirk had her feeling suspicious, then his answer had her feeling faint, "Scales from the Heavenly Dragon Albion."

"Where the hell did you get scales from Albion?!"

"Oh, I found one of his hoards in England a while back."

"You... you just happened to find a dragon hoard that belonged to one of the top four most powerful dragons?!"

He scoffed, "Of course not."

As Rias let out a breath of relief, he continued, "I went looking for it deliberately."

Rias gawked at him in shock as she tried to process that, "Wha... how... why..." She took a deep breath and slowly let it out before stating, "Impossible. No one has been able to search for and successfully find a dragon hoard like that in millennia!"

Junichiro just shrugged his shoulders, "It was just one of the things I found while I was out exploring and looking for lost treasures."

Rias, looking slightly worried, asked, "Is there anything else I should know about?"

Junichiro turned to Rias with a smirk, "Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies."

Rias blanched at that answer and quickly changed the subject, "So what's that for?"

As she asked her question, she gestured to the glass vial containing the Essence of the Blank. Junichiro glanced at it and shrugged nonchalantly, "It's just a potion I plan to take to help me get the most out of the Seven Stars. It's not all that much on its own and requires other things to make it really work."

Which was actually true. On it's own, the Essence of the Blank did nothing. Just drinking it and sitting on his ass would mean zero gain from using it. But taking it with the Seven Stars were at work inside of him? That would be amazing! The Stars would be perfectly efficient and the Essence would ensure that his body could grow in power without limit or restraint. The more power the Stars fed him, the more powerful he would become.

Rias nodded and looked around, "Anything else interesting in here?"

Junichiro shrugged, "Just stuff. You expecting to find something like Excalibur Ruler in here or something?"

Rias chuckled, "No, nothing like that. I'm mostly just curious about the stuff you do. While your name is pretty well known, actually getting something commissioned is a rarity. I've never seen anything but one of your healing potions in person."

Junichiro thought about that and shrugged, "Well, if you'd like, you can stay and watch me work for a bit. I was working on something special for Ddraig."

"Ddraig? The Heavenly Dragon within the Boosted Gear? How can you make something for him? Isn't he just a spirit locked into the Sacred Gear?"

Junichiro nodded and led Rias to the enchanting section of his workshop, "That's true. But it's because he's a spirit that I can do something nice for him."

He gestured to the table where there were a myriad of parts and pieces that looked like the dissected body of a small dragon the size of a large dog. The big difference being, there was nothing really organic about it. It rather looked more like a metallic model kit of anything. Rias examined the parts curiously, "So what are you making?"

Junichiro picked up a piece and began running his fingers over it while weaving his magical power into a specific pattern, "I'm making a body that Ddraig will be able to possess. Sadly, it won't do more than give him the ability to move around.

It wont be like he is reborn or anything like that. Just a little freedom to walk and fly around outside of his personal prison."
