Chapter 252 - Special equipment for Titans
『Hey, Thanatos. I want to thank you for what you did in the forest. Take it』
『Ars, what's this?』
『I had Gran make this for you like your new weapon. It's made using the bones of the dragon from that time, so it is quite the gem』
『The dragon's bones? Should I really take this? Are you fine with it?"
『Of course. If you hadn't been there at that time, Kyle and I would have been in danger. I've prepared the best thing I could as a thank you』
『I understand. I'll take it gratefully. But this weapon is a little too small for me, isn't it, Ars? For when I become larger, did you make me another spear?』
『Nah. That is a magical weapon made from dragon bones. If you pour mana into it, it will react. Try using it while transformed into a Titan, Thanatos."
Gran and I's weapon-making went smoothly.
After that, we duplicated the Ice and Flame Sword a couple of times and then decided to make other things.
The swords we created were interesting magic weapons, but the only material we used was the flame ore from Uruk.
So, finally, we decided to try using dragon bones as weapons.
However, Gran did most of the work in making the equipment using the dragon bones.
All I had to do was fill the magic stone with mana and set the furnace on fire.
Using Gran's knowledge of dragon materials, I used the materials and catalysts in Barca to make a weapon.
I then handed the finished weapon to Thanatos.
What I gave to him was a club.
It was neither a sword nor a spear, but just a club, a long stick, basically.
Moreover, it was just the right length for Thanatos, who was not transformed into a Titan and was of normal size.
Of course, even though it was a club, the material it was made of was unusual.
The club could also be said to be a bunch of dragon bones stuck together.
Any object would be beaten to a pulp if hit with this.
I think the only thing that has strength comparable to this is the Grand Barca, which has become a Holy Sword.
However, the greatest feature of this club lies elsewhere.
The feature's demonstrated when you apply mana onto it.
After I told him this, Thanatos transformed while simultaneously channeling mana into the sword.
Thanatos' height grew.
Of course, it is not only his height but his width and depth have also increased by the same amount, so much so that one would think that a large building had suddenly been erected in front of me.
He eventually became a mass a bit larger than 5 meters.
In his hands, there was a long-handled club that was large enough to cleave many things just by swinging it, and thick enough to be easily gripped by the palm of Thanatos' large, Titan-sized hand.

『So the club got bigger』
『Yeah』
Gran seems to have combined the concept of a weapon for Thanatos using dragon bones with demon armor.
This is a mysterious armor that, if worn on the body, fits perfectly to the size of the person equipped with it.
He applied this type of "one-size-fits-all" to weapons as well.
The thickest and longest of the dragon bones, the thigh bone, was carved out to become the club that would become Thanatos' weapon, and then processed with materials and catalysts such as ogre horns, goat hair, wild boars, and Valkyries' hair.
The result was a weapon that could be transformed into a size just right for the user.
The Ruyi Dragon Club.
That was my gift to Thanatos.
Until now, I had given Thanatos a spear made of [Hardened] bricks for when he transformed and needed a weapon.
Even that was a sufficiently threatening weapon, especially when used with the atlatl.
But when I fought with Thanatos in the forest I started to wonder.
Such a weapon would be inconvenient in an emergency.
In the forest, Thanatos did not turn into a Titan very often.
When he became larger, the trees in the forest would get in his way, making it difficult for him to move.
And a spear made of Hardened Bricks, with the added bonus of being long, would further hinder his movement.
That is why Thanatos fought with his normal size spear even when he was attacked by plants in the forest.
Besides, come to think of it, there may be times in the future when I fight with Thanatos in places that are tiny.
For example, inside a building.
If Thanatos and I are in a building together and I have to fight someone there, it would be very difficult if Thanatos transformed into a Titan.
In that case, it would be better for me and Thanatos if he had a weapon that could be used in his normal size even inside the building.
With this in mind, the Ruyi Dragon Club that can change size in an instant will be a great help.
In fact, I think it might be a little too strong.
"Thank you, Ars. I appreciate it. I'll be sure to repay you for this. On the battlefield, of course."
"No, this was a gift of thanks from me to you. No need to repay anything. But I'm counting on you, Thanatos."
"Yeah, you can count on me! I'll use this weapon to defeat many an enemy!"
Apparently, Thanatos was quite pleased.
He was happily swinging the Ruyi Dragon Club around.
Just the force of him swinging the club was creating a wind pressure that seemed to be blowing things away, and I felt a bit of fear when I stood close by him.
In this way, I was steadily preparing new equipment.
