Although reason told the girl she should give up struggling now and let her Onii-sama destroy the strange armor on her body and the crown on her head, the Demon God's suggestion still drove her to struggle. After all, underlying all the suggestions was a specific command.
This command was, naturally, to stall the blacksmith before her as much as possible.
The longer the equipment remained on her body, the more time she could buy for those Demon Gods. This was an order she could not break free from no matter how much she wanted to struggle.
Aslan also noticed the crown on the girl's head. It looked like it was rooted directly into her head, with a part seemingly entering her brain to control a portion of her perception. If he tried to destroy it forcibly, it might cause damage to the girl's brain—though, of course, that was just a possibility.
Whether to gamble on that slight possibility... the choice naturally lay in Aslan's hands.
"They really made double preparations. How annoying. If I want to decode it slowly, it will take some time, won't it? But for just this kind of equipment, isn't it looking down on a Legendary Blacksmith too much?"
Regarding the armor on her body, Aslan simply drew a short knife from his Mystic Code that possessed the power to temporarily destroy all magical effects. This was naturally forged based on the Noble Phantasm held by a certain witch from Greek mythology in his memory. However, unlike the Noble Phantasm manifested by a certain Witch Doctor, in terms of efficiency, the weapon in his hand could only be considered a discount version.
After all, temporary destruction is actually just equivalent to sealing. It was precisely because of this trick that such a weapon could be successfully forged. Otherwise, it would probably take a massive amount of time to complete. To Aslan, as long as such equipment was effective and usable, that was enough; there was no need to forge a Noble Phantasm-level existence just to leave it in the warehouse.
After all, the opportunities for him to use this kind of weapon were truly few and far between. Purely judging from his own state, with his dragon blood constantly boiling now, the inherited dragon characteristics were becoming more numerous. First was the magical energy capacity that was simply outrageous compared to normal people, followed by powerful magical energy recovery and physical regeneration capabilities, and now the Magic Resistance exclusive to dragons had also begun to appear.
Even due to the rather high rank of his dragon blood, his Magic Resistance was also outrageously high. He basically wouldn't be affected by magecraft, which was enough for him to violently destroy some blocking spells. Therefore, a weapon like the one in his hand could really only be used in specific places. Thus, having such a temporary weapon was sufficient.
Even if it could only be used once or twice, he had forged more than just this one casually back then. Simply piecing together the sealing time of each one was enough to prevent a powerful magic from gathering for a month. And within this month, it would be enough for Aslan to forge more such weapons or a dedicated tool for destroying magecraft at the Noble Phantasm level.
If a month wasn't enough, he would spend a few days forging a disposable item capable of sealing a spell for several years or even over a decade, and then go back to forge the dedicated tool. Anyway, as a long-lived species, he could afford to spend a little time.
The equipment on his wrist emitted light again. Chains spread outward rapidly, thoroughly binding the girl's limbs. Then they pulled outward, making it impossible for the girl to move away from him no matter how she struggled. This was also to prevent the weapon in his hand from hurting the girl's body. After confirming that the girl before him couldn't dodge at will...
The short sword in his hand stabbed quickly toward the center of the armor, right at the eye that was trembling constantly and trying every means to dodge. Unfortunately for it, one Fairy Letter after another landed rapidly on the entire armor. The whole armor seemed to be quickly shaped and cooled; all the active armor that originally had some movement stopped moving completely.
Magical energy wrapped around the short sword, filling the entire blade with indomitable destructive power. After this flash, the constantly twisting eye was completely destroyed. Glowing cracks instantly appeared on the armor on her body. Not only that, but the entire armor also began to turn to stone rapidly, finally shattering into fragment after fragment and falling to the ground.
Pressing on these fragments on the ground, Aslan began to circulate the magical energy in his body, preparing to grind these fragments completely into powder with his power. Unlike those vine-like Demon God Pillar clones from before, these fragments contained too much negative power belonging to the Demon God Pillars. Using these things to forge weapons would only create evil objects.
For example, Evil Swords, Demonic Swords, or some cursed items. Although Aslan knew how to forge these equipments—after all, mastering one skill basically allowed one to gradually grope out other paths—and moreover, Fairies were truly kind when kind, but truly scary when they went mad; forging something like a Demonic Sword was naturally something he could do casually.
And Aslan, inheriting from the Fairies, naturally possessed such a reserve of knowledge. It was just that Aslan's research method did not focus on this point. Speaking of which, when forging the Red-Hilted Sword back then, he also used a portion of curse power. Although it looked like a restriction, within that restriction, there were inherently some components of a curse.
As for whether that girl, who was suppressed by that precious sword for several years back then, had restrained her domineering nature and arrogance afterward, Aslan did not pay attention.
As the entire armor was destroyed, the power belonging to the Demon Gods that had filled this hall gradually dissipated. The magical energy fluctuations emitted by the crown on the girl's head also weakened a bit. Aslan put away the chain equipment in his hand, turned around, and took out the Holy Lance on his person. The holy banner unfurled, beginning to stabilize the condition of the girl before him.
Then, he used Fairy Letters to ensure that the girl's brain wouldn't be damaged by his subsequent actions. At the same time, his eyes, which had turned golden due to the constant surging of dragon-attribute magical energy, began to flash gradually with blue light. This was the symbol of the Mystic Eyes opening. The state of the entire crown began to undergo a virtual structural analysis in Aslan's mind.
As long as he could find the critical magical energy point and use his technique to perform a reverse impact, he should be able to neutralize the power within. The next step would be the problem of removing it from her head.
