Chapter 480: Chapter 504: Tijana’s Dissatisfaction Chapter 480: Chapter 504: Tijana’s Dissatisfaction “The uncertainty is just too great…” Lancelot said, a bit dazed.
“It’s okay, I now have some control over Wave Surge, allowing me to foresee several possible outcomes and make one reality, helping me avoid the worst scenarios,” Tijana explained to the Human Knight, swaying her body to release more illusions of petals and butterflies, “What do you think? Looks beautiful, doesn’t it?”
“Breathtakingly beautiful.”
“Thank you.” Tijana smiled at him, then waved her hand to summon a portal. “Alright, that settles it. I’ll send you all back… except for you, Lancelot. We need to talk.”
The four stepped through the portal and appeared in Tijana’s castle. The Werewolf left quickly with the young Dwarf, leaving the Human Knight somewhat nervously standing still.
“Tijana, are you upset with me because of the slogan I shouted during the fight?” Lancelot started cautiously, “I just wanted to confuse the enemy, after all, it was just an incarnation and wouldn’t actually die…”
“I am a bit upset, but not about that.” Tijana turned around, frowning at him, “What had I told you? If that Priest wanted any compensation, to leave the negotiation to me. Look what you ended up creating? A Saint! Luckily, it’s one of the weaker ones, and I discovered the issue in time…”
“Hey, calm down, stay cool,” Lancelot confidently approached and held the angry Succubus in his arms, “I am really sorry, and I’m glad you were here to help today…”
“No, this isn’t the first time. Last time it was the Mother of Demons, this time the Goddess of Winter, what will be next? I can’t keep showing up every time you find yourself in a dire situation!” Tijana pounded her fist heavily against his plate armor, creating a very loud impact, “Haven’t I told you that you can communicate with me anytime using that emblem? Create a blizzard… If you’re unsure of the consequences, it’s best to consult a professional!”
“I know I was wrong,” Lancelot held the beauty in his arms even tighter, “I just didn’t want to bother you…”
“I am being very serious with you,” Tijana glared fiercely at him, “No matter how busy, I always have time for a chat with you. Promise me, from now on, if you’re undertaking any action that might be dangerous, at least notify me, okay?”
“I promise you,” Lancelot nodded solemnly, emphasizing, “My beloved.”
“Who’s your beloved!” Tijana pouted, “Alright, let me go now…”
“I won’t let go,” Lancelot refused decisively, “Opportunities like this are rare.”
“My maid, Cynthia, is coming with two Dwarfs, and they’re less than fifteen feet behind you around the corner.”
“What a wonderful day, the weather outside is really nice, my lady,” Lancelot almost instantly released the Succubus Lord and stepped back to a suitable distance, “You must have something very important to discuss… oh, hi! Miss Cynthia, delighted to see you!”
“Good evening, Sir Lancelot.” The figure who came from around the corner was a succubus with pale blue long hair and sheep-like, curved horns, her pale red eyes twinkling with curiosity, “How do you know my name? We haven’t met before, have we?”
“Lady Tijana just told me,” Lancelot said, awkwardly touching his nose, “I assume you are here to see her, right?”
“Not I, but the two gentlemen behind me.” The Succubus Maid turned to reveal the two reserved bearded dwarves following her, “This is Gadein Stonewoven and Shano Stonewoven. The Chief Commissioner of Braunville mentioned that they are here for the assignment you had previously given.”
“Well done, you may leave now,” Tijana had regained her commanding tone, “You two, come with me; we’ll talk elsewhere. And you, Sir, you come too.”
Lancelot touched his nose, obediently following Tijana with the two purple-bearded dwarves into an inconspicuous small room. In the center of the room, there was an oval long table with a very comfortable chair at the head, duly occupied by the Succubus Lord.
“So you two are the finest weapon enchanters from Twin Bridges Town. Tell me, what viable plans do you have?”
Tijana snapped her fingers, and purple flames lit up on the wall sconces. Lancelot’s Spirit Perception immediately alerted him that some kind of force field had isolated the entire room.
“Honorable Lady Tijana, following your command, we collected all the enchantments that might be useful against creatures of the cold type,” one of the dwarves with a wine-red nose promptly responded, “There are several viable plans, including enchantments, inlays, and completely new forges…”
“Start with enchantments,” Tijana glanced at Lancelot, “Let’s hear which might suit you.”

“Alright, enchantments are my specialty,” another dwarf began, and although it was expected, her feminine voice still surprised Lancelot, “First is the simple but useful Blaze Enchantment. It allows the weapon to emit flames that do not harm the bearer, inflicting extra burn damage on the enemy during an attack. It can be activated by a simple command word when needed, and can be turned off after the fight, without usage limitations. However, its power is not much stronger than a regular torch, and many times, that’s precisely its function…”
“I can perform such simple enchantments as well,” Tijana waved her hand dismissively, “Move on to something more powerful. Cost isn’t a concern, you know that, right?”
“Yes, the Chief Commissioner of Braunville emphasized that,” the female dwarf rubbed her hands excitedly, “Let me say once more, the Blaze really is the most cost-effective choice, but disregarding cost, I also have Flame Burst and Ignite as enchantments. The former is a comprehensive enhancement of the Blaze Enchantment, which bursts into a ball of flame that doesn’t harm the user when the attack accumulates enough power; the latter can ignite the target immediately upon a hit. This might be meaningless for most Fiends, but it works very well against Frost Giants, as they won’t focus on anything else before putting out the flames on their body.”
“That sounds really good,” Lancelot said with interest, “Are there any special requirements for the weapon?”
“Only one enchantment can be on each weapon; if there is already another enchantment, the original must first be removed,” the female dwarf offered Lancelot a warm smile, “You have two weapons, right? Both crafted by Master Barrend Frostforge, a 4-foot hand half sword ‘Frostslash,’ and a 7-foot great sword ‘Glacier.’ May I see them?”
