The King motioned toward the back of the hall, and a group of servants unveiled the weapon. The body armor stood before Rael—its dark metallic body glinting under the hall's lights.
"The Armor of Hephaestus is an earth-grade treasure forged by Hephaestus himself a long time ago for a human. It went through so many people and eventually ended up in the hands of my predecessors. This armor could adjust in size and form to suit the wielder's needs," Arthur said proudly. "I hope it would be for your liking, Azrael."
The entire hall was in stunned silence as they never expected the King would grant him an earth-grade weapon, and that too, a treasure of the royal family instead of materialistic wealth like gold or land.
