Chapter 90: Demonic Tongue [1]

After his lecture, Vanitas headed to Roselyn's facility.

"This is my gift to you, Professor. No, it's my way of showing gratitude for everything you've done for me. I call it the Astrea Archmage Gauntlet II—or Astrea AG. II for short."

"The second? So this is the second prototype?"

Vanitas found the addition of "Archmage" to the name slightly embarrassing. His abilities and mana capacity were far from those of an Archmage.

"Yes," Roselyn replied. "This version has been modified according to your specifications. It's also designed for further enhancements in the future. Additionally, I've embedded an adjustment spell so it perfectly adapts to your arm."

"I see."

Vanitas nodded and opened the sleek black case. Inside was a black steel gauntlet with amethyst outlines tracing the joints, giving it a clean and elegant appearance.

Pouring mana into his spectacles, he scanned the item.

——?Astrea AG. II?——

? Description: A sleek, black-steel gauntlet embedded with the Ethereal Fragment and Numen's Azure Shard, serving as a powerful medium for spellcasting.

"Try it on, Professor. I hope it meets your expectations."

"Yes," Vanitas replied with a nod.

He slid the gauntlet onto his arm. It fit perfectly, more like a second skin than a piece of equipment. The design was sleek and unobtrusive, unlike the bulkiness of the first prototype. 

"Oh?"

There was no strain on the joints or fingers, and it seemed to incorporate an absolute-zero cooling formula to prevent his arm from sweating. 

It felt as though the gauntlet wasn't even there, as if the gauntlet had become part of him.

"This is extraordinary work, Roselyn."

"I'm glad it meets your expectations, Professor," Roselyn said. "I designed it to integrate with your mana flow and physical movements. The cooling formula was added to ensure you could wear it for extended periods without fatigue."

"You've exceeded expectations. This is a masterpiece."

Roselyn smiled. "Thank you. If you encounter any issues, let me know. I can make further adjustments or enhancements."

Vanitas flexed his arm again. "Yes, I'll keep it in mind."
