On the same night that Vicente finished creating the artifacts to help Dresbert's sentinels, he once again met with the local group of 4th stage magicians.",

This time, the meeting was taking place in a different location, in one of the sheds of the Blacksmiths' Association building.

There, Vicente was now sitting in an iron chair, while he had 20 armors, 300 guns and 100,000 bullets visible to the 91 Sovereigns in the surrounding area.

Only Lauren was there with him, while his companions were taking care of local business.

If the 91 Sovereigns were there with Vicente, then they couldn't be looking after the city's surveillance and protection!

Torne and the others were doing this in place of these 91 local warriors, while they silently observed the strange artifacts that Vicente had called them to see.

But the artifacts there weren't the only eye-catching things in the surroundings. Three cages were visible there, each containing a different type of monster.

In one of them was a peak 4th stage Lamia, in another was a 5th stage Ogre, and finally there was also a peal 4th stage Dark Scorpion.

Each of these creatures could easily kill the inhabitants and together, they could even wipe out this city!

However, the three were trapped in cages that only a High-level Paragon could escape from. Ultimately, Vicente was there, so the Sovereigns weren't afraid.

Vicente saw he had everyone's attention and presented what he had to them. "My sentinels, here I present your weapons to dealing with the monsters nearby.

To my right are firearms. Weak warriors can put their mana into these weapons and fire bullets capable of killing or seriously injuring those 2 or 3 levels stronger than the warrior.

If an Earth Sovereign among you uses one of these weapons, it's possible that you'll seriously injure a Low-level Paragon. But if a High-level Mage uses a weapon of the same quality, he could seriously injure a Sky Sovereign or even kill such an enemy!"

The magicians murmured among themselves, curious, with various doubts, but also impressed. None of them doubted Vicente, so those artifacts couldn't help but make their eyes glaze over.

They had few Sovereigns, but many Mages. If they could arm all the Mages in the city with weapons like those, they could reach a new level.

"I have with me 100,000 bullets that can be used by the 300 weapons I made for you. That's all I could create using the materials you gave me.

Anyway, use these bullets wisely in the future. The city's 4th stage blacksmiths will create another type of ammunition that is a little weaker very soon. You should alternate the use of my ammunition and what they'll do for you, depending on the situation you're in.

Prefer to preserve the bullets I've left here whenever possible. Only use them in desperate situations."

Everyone nodded affirmatively, understanding that something produced by this talented Paragon would be too rare to be used casually.

Vicente continued. "To my left are 4th and 5th stage robotic armors. As you have just heard, they are classified by stage and not by grade. The reason for this is simply because they are intelligent, capable of cultivating mana on their own and recovering from minor damage and exhaustion."

"What?"

"Is that even possible?"

The people in the area raised their voices, unable to contain the doubts in their hearts.

They knew nothing close to what Vicente had just said!

Vicente explained. "These robotic armors won't change level without my support, but they can generate attacks independently, fight without a user at the same level they were made to fight. After exhausting themselves, they can enter a meditation mode and recover the mana consumed.

In short, only 4th stage warriors should use these armors. Although they are autonomous and can act on their own, it is best to combine their powers with those of the armor.

4th stage armor should mainly be worn by 3rd stage warriors. As much as they can be useful to 4th stage warriors, they add little to them. We can get much better results by using them on battalions of Mages."

That was logical. If a 4th stage magician wore 4th stage armor, their power would change little. Assuming the 16 4th stage armors were worn by Sovereigns, then the sentinel group would have 16 individuals capable of displaying peak 4th stage warrior powers. But if the 16 Sovereigns didn't wear the armor and let 16 High-level Mages wear it instead, then the group would have 32 warriors with strength similar to peak Sovereigns!

Understanding this factor, the Sovereigns there muttered among themselves how interesting it would be to use them on Mages instead of Sovereigns.

With his artifacts presented, Vicente called out to two of those Sovereigns, while two pieces of armor and a rifle floated under his magnetic control.

He said. "I want you to use this weapon to kill the Dark Scorpion." He gave the rifle to one of those two men before looking at the other individual. "And you're going to put on the 5th stage armor to kill the 5th stage Ogre. The 4th stage armor will fight the Lamia alone."

He needed to show the capabilities of his artifacts, as well as the difference between combining the powers of a lower-level magician with the powers of higher-level armor. This would not only prove his words, but would make those men understand, safely, the capabilities of the artifacts presented.

The armor quickly fitted around the body of the man it was meant to fight alongside, while the other Sovereign took the black rifle in both hands, finding it intuitive to understand how the artifact worked.

Then, as the other 89 Sovereigns moved away, making room for the fight about to take place in that shed, Vicente released the three creatures trapped in their cages.

"Fight!" He allowed, with the three creatures attacking their three opponents. Vicente had told the monsters if they killed or destroyed their three opponents, he would release them later.
