Chapter 219: Vultures

"So what kind of gauntlets are you looking for this time? I thought the gloves you got from Blackrock City were pretty good no?" Alice asked curiously while the two of them walked through the streets of the blacksmithing district.

The rhythmic sounds of hammers clashing against metal echoed out with each step they took while the air surrounding the different forges warped from the heat. 

"Don't get me wrong, these gloves are good. They help me parry attacks and control my lightning when I'm fighting up close. But the issues appear once I try to use long distanced attacks. I noticed it a while back but I thought it was just me.
