Armaments!

The voices seem to have different ideas on exactly what to get, but they do seem to agree for the most part, that loading up Cherchiel is best. After a bit of thought and discussion between Yulia, Cherchiel and the Blacksmith, they end up deciding on an ultra durable shield and spear for Cherchiel and then reinforcing her bodysuit.

They wait patiently, Cherchiel currently naked as the blacksmith works. A hastily made privacy tent was made for Cherchiel to hide inside while the blacksmith works.

"So, once this is all done... We're going to go combat the Beast?" Muma asks and Yulia hesitantly nods.

"It seems so. We need to face these monsters at some point after all and aside from getting something from Alide or Dahlia, this is as ready as we can possibly be," Yulia answers. She seems nervous, but determined. Cherchiel speaks from inside her little tent.

"I believe in us!" she says loudly and Yulia glances towards the tent,

"Thanks, Cherchiel!" Yulia says and noticeably seems less nervous.

"So... Still planning on not getting the sex toy?" Muma asks and Yulia hesitates.

"I'm worried about what that voice said... I don't want to end up corrupted..." she responds and Cherchiel speaks again.

"I don't think that voice is correct. I don't think you'll end up corrupted if you just agree to enjoy yourself sometimes, though I guess that is what I'd say if I was part of the Tower's sinister plot to corrupt you," she says and Yulia laughs slightly.

"It is indeed. If you are trying to corrupt me, you're doing a good job. I'm already having trouble not peeking on you right now," Yulia responds playfully.

"I wouldn't mind if you did," Cherchiel responds and Yulia hesitates seemingly embarrassed.

"Seriously... I watched you two fuck in the middle of a forest and you're actually bashful at the idea of looking at her naked? You've seen each other naked, multiple times at this point!" Muma responds in a frustrated, but amused voice as she notices Yulia's embarrassment.

"Th... That's not the point!" Yulia responds flustered and Cherchiel laughs.

"You are adorable, Mistress," she says and Yulia gasps.

"Ah... D... Don't call me that right now!" she says even more flustered.

Before this teasing can go any further the Blacksmith announces that he's done. He hands over the altered body suit first so Cherchiel can get dressed. She does and then steps out to show off the newly reinforced body suit. It resembles the same as the old one, but with the addition of metallic plates over the crotch, chest, stomach, arms and legs. Yulia applauds, "It looks great!" she says and Cherchiel smiles. The blacksmith than hands over a reinforced metal spear. Cherchiel takes it almost reverently and holds it in both hands, feeling it before shifting it to her right hand as she's handed a large thick looking shield. She raises the shield and slides the spear out beside it.

"Heh... Oh yeah this feels good!" Cherchiel states.

"You're pretty much unassailable from the front with those two. The inside of the shield is insulated to protect against electrical, heat and cold attacks as well," he explains and Cherchiel seems extremely excited, like a kid given a new toy.

"Thank you very much," Yulia states and the Blacksmith waves it away.

"No, thank you! When you three leave I'll tell The Elder I'm leaving and I'll be ready to leave with you when you go to the next floor," he says eagerly. Yulia nods.

"Then we'll be on our way right now. Time to go take down the Beast!" she says determinedly and Cherchiel cheers as well.

The three head to the pervert elf and request if they can take him with to the Beast. They are given permission and Cherchiel keeps him held as they approach the Beast's Den. They stop at the edge of the area covered with bones and slowly start to head forward.

Muma helpfully informs them when they have passed over the border of the next area and they find a clearing. the clearing itself is devoid of any bones and looks quite pretty. Large sweet smelling flowers are planted all around and in the center of the clearing there is... A bright light, it burns to look at and the voices can't see what's within. As the three look upon it, however they seem shocked.

"It's her! The Beast, she's even more beautiful than I remembered!" the Elf yells excitedly.

"Sister, but... You were killed... how are you...?" Muma states in shock and confusion.

"G.. God? What are you doing here?!" Cherchiel asks deeply confused.

"Aria! Why are you here... and... t... tied up like that?" Yulia asks loudly seemingly flustered.

The object hidden from the voices eyes begins to slowly approach the group while they are dazed by these visions.
