"That's better."
"Now that you tested the shoes, let me tell you about its limitations too. Always remember, these shoes can't resist your Power of Decay. So never touch them bare-handed."
"I would have made them decay-resistant. Unfortunately, finding the material those gloves are made of is as hard as finding the moonstone," Henny informed Lucifer, sighing helplessly. Then he moved back to the shelf again.
This time, he brought a vest out of the shelf that seemed a lot like a stylish jacket. Also, it was made in accordance with Lucifer's size.
"This is the next item in your battle gear," Henny declared. "As for its specialty, I think all of you could already tell the main feature of this vest. As usual, it's made to resist bullets to some extent."
"But bullets don't affect him. Isn't it useless for him?" Caen asked, remembering that Lucifer was impervious to bullets.
His healing was just too overpowered.
"You don't understand, Master Caen. According to our information, each ability has some limitations. Even though his healing is overpowered, we shouldn't waste it to heal bullet wounds. Also, wearing this vest is not only intended for that. The bulletproof thing is just one of the purposes." Henny explained.
"Aside from being able to resist bullets, this vest can also absorb a good percentage of the impact of most of the attacks. It's also fireproof. Its weight is very light, not heavier than a normal shirt. As for its thickness, it's only two millimeters thick at the thickest portion," he further added.
"Also, we heard some rumors about APF working on making bullets more dangerous for Variants. So this can come in handy at unexpected times."
"And lastly, it's stylish. Heck, I worked hard to find the latest fashion trends to make it look stylish for Lucifer. Give me some credit. It can at least be a fashion accessory!"
Everyone had agreed with most of the uses but to use it as an accessory, they found it amusing. But it wasn't a lie. The jacket vest looked stylish.
"Here, try wearing it," Henny said as he threw the vest towards Lucifer.
Lucifer caught the jacket vest and wore it as well.
"Oh right. This has the same limitation as the last one. Never touch it bare-handed," Henny reminded him again.
"Don't worry. I already know that you don't have the item that was used to make my gloves. You don't have to tell me twice," Lucifer said, feeling annoyed. He was telling him the same thing over and over again as if he was a kid.
"Hahaha, sorry. Call it a habit," Henny responded as he scratched the back of his head before walking back to the shelf again.
"I would have planned to create and provide a few weapons for you as well. I think a sword would have suited you seeing how fast and nimble you are. But then I realized that you're just as good as you can be even without a weapon. With a weapon, your lightning and strength filled with brunt attacks would be useless so I didn't make them," he said before taking a pause.
"But I did make something for you. A special one," he added before he turned back, showing Lucifer a fist full of little balls.
The balls were so small. The size of one ball was five times smaller than an ordinary golf ball.
There were around ten semi-transparent balls in his hand which he carefully brought closer to Lucifer.
"Raise your hand and open your fist."
"What are these balls?" Lucifer asked curiously. He didn't do what he was told. He wanted to know what these were first before holding them in his hand.
"Don't worry, these will be your weapons. On their own, these things are useless but I made them while putting your black lightning power into consideration. You can compress your black lightning and transfer its energy inside the balls right before you throw these at the enemy."
"These will act as a very powerful bomb that can cause large-scale destruction. As for how much destruction, that will depend on how much energy you can place inside them in one second. Because you must throw it the next second if you don't want it to overload and blow up near you." Henny explained the uses.
"I don't want to repeat the same warning again but please never touch them without wearing your gloves," Hanney said to Lucifer.
"Now give me your hands and take them. Don't worry, these will not be activated unless you start supplying them energy. Until then, you can carry them in your pocket like toys."
Lucifer raised his hand slowly and took the orbs in his hand, carefully observing them.
Seeing Lucifer assessing the small semi-transparent orbs, Caen couldn't help but sweat. This reminded him of the incident moments ago when Lucifer was observing the shoes right before he tested them.
"Ah, Lucifer. Please don't test them. I request of you," Caen reminded Lucifer with an anxious voice.
"That's right. Don't test them in this closed space. The destruction will be too much. If you want, you can test one by throwing it out during the mission you're about to go to," Henny also said, supporting Caen's remarks.
Hearing their constant reminders, Lucifer just simply nodded his head. In any case, he wasn't going to test it here. He wasn't crazy, he thought.
He placed the orbs in his pocket a few moments after he was done with his slight observation.
"Is there anything else?" Vega asked Henny.
"There is one more thing. As I heard, our little friend had a big problem. It was that his clothes were always destroyed in battles," Henny said, tracing his steps back to the shelf. "And running around naked is really unsightly."
"I already made that jacket vest which can resist most of the attacks and can last longer without being destroyed. But that doesn't cover all the bases," he further said before turning back.
A few moments later, he was carrying something in his hand as he returned to their spot.
"Here, I don't need to explain much. These are the pants for you. And this is the most useful for you from what I can see," he said as he tossed the pants towards Lucifer who caught it.
"What's special about this one?" Lucifer asked. This time he joined the conversation, voicing out his query. He wondered why he should wear them.
He was actually interested in such things since the man really talked about what Lucifer had in his heart.
