Chapter 33: Something not far from its place (Part 04)
In the forest outside the walls surrounding Mylta City, Odo slightly breathed a sigh of relief as he was finally able to escape Fiola's tutelage even in a way that could be said to be quite cunning. He had expected Lisia to come to the workshop at that time, the information he got from Osel who also once told him there was another person who was asking for the treatment of several swords on the blacksmith the day before Odo ordered the sword.
Looking towards the city, Odo grinned small and muttered, “Utilizing such a way turned out to be effective as well, I don't think Mbak Fiola tends to get carried away with such emotions.”
Turning back, the boy walked into the forest. When he reached an open field within the forest area, he briefly closed his eyes and activated some magic. Opening the circuit, he then created magic circles floating around his body.
“Finally I have time to try this new magic ...”
Stretching his right palm to the ground, Odo shot out a fireball and melted the snow. The flames were still burning, bright red in color. Eliminating all the magic circles around the body, the child took off both of his footwear, then rolled his pants up to the knees.
Raising his feet, he stepped on the flames in front of him. It did not burn Odo's legs, the fire began to envelop his right leg and began to crystallize into a solid object. A small magic circle appeared around Odo's right leg, which began to be wrapped in reddish crystals, and the shape adjustment began.
“Loading information of shape structure, customized change script. Dragon Form is changed, reset it to the stage and copy it from the L.L and L.R data already available, leg Form is applied.”
Crystallization from the fire that enveloped Odo's legs began to fall out, the rough shape that existed began to disappear and the original form of magic that the child used was visible. It was a reddish-colored leg armor, a modified form of dragon-changing magic he had obtained from Seliari.
In the information that Odo had, the change from the Great Dragon Race was not a change in the shape of the physical body but rather a kind of wearing a giant dragon-shaped armor. Having flesh, bones, hard scales, and life, that was the dragon change of the race. What Odo did was form a simple modification, downplaying the nature of the dragon's changing form that essentially uses the crystallization of certain elements, then make it a protector that matches the size and can be held by his body.
“Hmm, the element Seliari mastered was fire, as long as there was it I could make this kind of armor as I pleased. Well, if it is separated from the body it is immediately lost so it cannot be sold, anyway. Honestly, it is a pity that the concept of crystallization cannot apply permanently.”
Odo shot fire magic back to the ground, stepped on it with his other leg and covered it with the fire's crystallization armor. Basically, it does not mean Odo directly put on fire but is more likely to utilize gaseous substances that make fire exist. That's why crystallization took place, and with the arrangement of the shapes of the magic structure scripts that had been formed, he arranged the crystallization into knee-length armor shoes.
“While I have magic power, my body itself is very fragile. In fact, pierced with a dagger by the children only my flesh has been pierced, if hit by a streak of fire in the head like when on the dock I will certainly perish. But, if you always wear striking armor it does not feel pleasant. It is necessary, rearrangement of this dragon form change in order to strengthen my physical endurance.”
Creating a large magic circle that was a panel from the script of the magic structure that arranged the crystallization of the dragon changes, the boy started fiddling with it again and changed it. The dragon change that was handed over to the child actually underwent a reshuffle, becoming far from the dragon form element and instead tending to the human form according to what the child wanted.
“Yeah, if I get Leviathan it'll be easier. The element is water, and it's at most around here .... If mixed with the basic concept of Seliari's change, it could have been the strongest weapon ... But, yeah .... It wasn't as easy as I expected. The sea dragon, he lived in the sea, heck.”
Sitting preceptically in the middle of the land in the forest, the boy was completely focused and immersed in his work of rearranging the dragon's form of milk. The boy used knowledge from his previous life, and, remodel from a giant dragon-shaped armor to a form that is even like a human-sized armor with long-range weapons that utilize electrical elements that are also one of the elements controlled by the child.
“Hmm, for mobility I think this is enough .... Using the explosive power within the thrusters, this could also be used for flying. If only I could have used floating magic like Vil it would have been easier. Ah, do I need to just wear wings like the dragon concept? But that doesn't mean having wings can make me fly, moving wings needs special scripts anymore and honestly I don't understand the concept of wings that can make dragons fly .... A simple plane? Air pressure? I'm not the architect of the plane, where I might understand such a thing ...”.
Just looking around, Odo realized that the sun had really set and the sky was already evening. The surroundings were very dark, although he could see inside the darkness clearly conveyed to Odo. “Ah, I forgot the time .... I used to do things like this in my room all night, so I didn't realize I was outside right now, huh. Gawat, my perception is starting to mess up again?” muttered the boy.
Closing the magic circle of the main script of the dragon changing shape arrangement, the boy got up and slightly stretched his neck. Breathing in and regulating Mana flow in the body, it says, “Purge L.L and L.R components ..” The armour on the child's legs detached, began to fall to the ground and began to sublimate into a gas that fused quickly with the air.
Looking at the skin of his two legs that were slightly peeled off along with the armor, Odo muttered, “So, yes .... Such a section also needs to be rearranged. Well, that's it later ..” Putting back on his footwear and lowering his trousers, the boy walked out of the forest to return to the city before Fiola grew anxious and did troublesome things with his authority as a Shieal.

“Mbak Fiola ..”
Hearing Odo's voice, Fiola immediately turned his head quickly. Seeing the look on his anxious face, the black haired child felt a little guilty and turned his gaze stiffly. Fiola walked over quickly, then immediately knelt down and hugged Odo.
“Sgratitude ..., you are fine .... I'm very anxious ..., why did you leave suddenly like that?”
The voice really sounded very worried about him. Looking at the city soldiers Fiola had gathered in front of the orphanage, Odo narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed. “What is Fiola's mother's crush as well? Why is it protective of me like this?” said the boy in Fiola's arms.
“Of course!!” Odo gasped at the loud voice. Letting go of the hug and looking at the child, Fiola said, “Please don't run away from me like that .... Why do you always make people around you anxious?”
“A—!” Odo's words came to a halt when he saw Fiola's expression that was really worrying him. Bowing his head, the boy said, “Sorry ..., next time I won't do it.”
Odo understood why the Huli Jing was worried about him to such an extent. It was very clear to him, understandable and everything was connected in the boy's head. Lifting his face and looking at Fiola, he smiled lightly without saying anything.
“Did Mbak Fiola use authority as a Shieal?”
“Hmm.”
“Not Fiola ma'am does not want to reveal such an identity?”
The woman did not answer, she woke up and slightly looked away. Odo understood the reason, he asked only to be a little aware of the woman for her actions using the authority. Sighing lightly, Odo said, “Can you please order them back? The city is unstable, if there is a movement like this it can be a driver that makes another ripple .... I don't want that.”
“Ya, alright.”
At a glance Odo looked towards the orphanage building. There Nanra looks, staring at Odo flatly as if he wants to convey something to her. Odo scratched the back of his head, turned his gaze away and felt his burden increase again.
“I hope the bandit plan is done quickly and finished,” murmured Odo.
