Capítulo 229: Creating Rank 4 Black Metal (2)

"Yes, the defensive properties of this black armor set in the making can be raised to Mid-level Rank 4 at the very least—if it turns out as we expect, of course," Vaan stated.

'Mid-level Rank 4!' Astoria inwardly exclaimed.

That was the same level of power that shattered her Rank 3 armor and sent her into critical conditions by Fallen Witch Elvira.

If she had such strong armor, even if she couldn't beat Fallen Witch Elvira in another fight, she wouldn't necessarily lose either.

At the very least, Fallen Witch Elvira wouldn't be able to penetrate her armor again.

At the same time, possessing a Mid-level Rank 4 defense implied that no one at Early-stage High Witch could harm her.

"Armor of this quality is hard to make even by the current Rank 4 Artificing Maestros. This is too valuable," Astoria said with a sigh before adding, "If requested something like this from the Maestros, it would have cost me an arm at least."
