As Celica and Truhan went to explore the dungeon and to try out Celica's new weapon in some bosses, I glanced at the remaining weapons and my family that were inspecting them.

Sofelaia and Sofarpia were glancing at the available weapons, Sofarpia grabbed a poisonous dagger but found it unfitting to her fighting style, even if she had an affinity with the Poison Attribute.

"There isn't much for me, it is hard to find a sword that can take on multiple elements like my fighting style…" said Sofarpia, she was the Centaur Twin specialized in Magic Blade techniques, she had a large repertory of affinities with magic, which she used to enhance her blades with them and release powerful multi-elemental attacks and techniques.

"That is a pity, but I think that I've found the one for me," said Sofarpia with a bright smile, raising a long sword covered in a white and metallic luster, alongside various gold lines and jewels. It shined brightly atop her head, and it seems that the weight and size were perfect for her body and balance.

"This one is perfect! With this, I can dual wield as well, or just replace my old sword whenever I use my shield" said Sofelaia.

The sword was the [Resplendent Blade of Holy Brilliance; Melarnus (Legendary)], a weapon dropped by a Hero of Sunclaw who wielded the power of the Light and Holy Attributes, who was easily slain by Truhan.

Sofelaia was as happy as a little girl with a new toy to play around with, unbefitting of her usual calm demeanor, but it was also very cute. Even her blonde tail danced around happily.

"Kireina-sama, could it be possible to take it?" asked Sofelaia with enthusiasm.

"If it fits with your powers, feel free to take it Sofelaia," I said with a smile, her cheerfulness was radiating everywhere.

"Sofarpia, let's go try it immediately, shall we?" said Sofelaia as she galloped towards the nearest dungeon with her twin sister.

"Hey, you're going way too fast, wait for a second sister!" said Sofarpia while following Sofelaia.

As the centaur twins left the room, my children gathered at my side while grabbing and trying out weapons.

"Meh, I don't think there is anything for me in here… I already got these cool gauntlets that adapt to my fist and transformations" said Valentia while flapping her long shark-like lower half that was covered in dark and sharp draconic scales. Her hands were able to shapeshift in various forms, and her entire body was also capable of this, due to her transformation powers, most of the time she was almost naked, but the gauntlets she found adapted to anything she transformed into, so they were the bests for her. Such gauntlets recently evolved into Phantasmal Rank equipment.

Valentia's long and messy crimson hair moved around as she received the air of Ailine.

"Big sister is you refreshed?" asked Ailine, who was conjuring a Wind Spell that refresh her sister, we were in the middle of summer as of now, and the temperatures were very hot. Although we had most resistance to attributes, we could still feel the warmness of the environment and sweat like crazy… but Valentia and Aarae were not able to sweat because they were merfolk, so they needed to receive some fresh air to feel comfortable enough.

"Haaah~ This is heavens, little Ailine, good girl~," said Valentia while petting Ailine with her large claws.

"I already have a lot of things gifted by mom, so I don't want to take anything else… and well, they don't fit with me," said Aarae.

"Hm, I don't want to take anything in here either…" said Ervin at his side.

However, Amiphossia and Ryo found some things they liked.

"Hey, these gauntlets look pretty good! I have three pairs of arms and I was looking for some from my last pair" said Ryo cheerfully as he grabbed on golden-colored gauntlets seemingly made out of yellow metallic materials similar to adamantine, the gauntlets had long claws that could easily slice through anything. They were the [Earth-Shattering Adamantine Claws of the Lion Hero King; Drarus (Phantasmal)], they were dropped by Drarus himself, the eldest son of Lionel of Moonfang and the strongest prince, that was also a Hero.

My son was deserving of such treasure, so I happily handed it over to him.

"My beloved Ryo, there is no one more deserving of such treasure, take it with you my son," I said.

Ryo was flustered over my warm words as he flushed.

"I-It's not like I was going to ask you, I was going to just… grab them for myself!" said Ryo acting like a tsundere.

"Ufufu, Ryo, try them out! You will look good with them, my son!" said Zehe at my side.

"Sigh… Okay…" said Ryo as he equipped the golden adamantine gauntlets, which quickly released a golden aura that converged with his own, bonding with his soul.

"T-This is… it even increases my physique and psyche? That's better than I thought!" said Ryo, slashing the air with his new gauntlets.

"I feel like I could slice a dragon into pieces with these!" he laughed.

"You're rocking them, Ryo~!" said Zehe.

"What a handsome young man I have as a son!" I said, cheering Ryo.

"A-Agh! Stop saying embarrassing things…!" said Ryo while flushing. Arasa, the Wind Lord girl and one of his closest friends, chuckled over our words.

"Hahaha! Why are you getting all flustered, thank your mommies for being so nice! Fufu" she laughed while showing her sharp teeth.

"Ah, even you? Arasa!" said Ryo while covering his face.

"That's Arasa, isn't she?" asked Zehe.

"Indeed, Ryo is just very shy but he's in love with her, but let's not let him hear what we are talking about, fufufu" I laughed.

"Okay… it is more fun to let him express his emotions after all; you can do it, my son, ~" chuckled Zehe as Ryo and Arasa chatted and left the room.

Meanwhile, Amiphossia felt that the dim presence of countless ghosts and phantoms called upon her from one of the equipment, a dark-colored crystal orb covered in an eerie pale blue mist.

"Oh? What is this?" she said, as the orb extended its presence into her and embraced her with power.

"Oh? It disappeared?" asked Amiphossia as the orb was out of her sight in a second.

"That is a Soul Equipment, Ami. It seems that it chose you amongst everyone else, it is now equipped in your soul. You should be feeling the effects as of now" I said.

"Ah! That is right! My stats went up by a lot! Even my Phantom soul feels more vigorous!" said Amiphossia as she hugged Evan to celebrate.

"Ugh… I-I'm glad for you, Ami" said Evan as he was squeezed like slime.

"I couldn't expect less from our Master! She was chosen by such powerful equipment, nyaha!" said an Undead Cat with dark and red fur and fiery eyes, Geraldine, as she sat down on Amiphossia's left shoulder.

"Indeed, perhaps it could be a nice time to seek new companions, Amiphossia-sama?" asked a spectral white lamia that floated like a ghost, Shirohibe, that was sitting in Amiphossia's right shoulder.

"Are we going? I want to catch some tasty monsters to eat! Let's go, Master! Let's go!" said a playful giantess of three meters with long white hair and a phantasmal, ghost-like presence. She had pointy and furry white wolf ears and a long tail, her body was sexy and flawlessly beautiful, Seishin.

"Something like Lizard or… Oh, maybe a big fish" said a beautiful giantess of three meters, with six and slender arms with long blue-colored nails, long white hair, fox-like ears, and various fox-like tails atop her butt, alongside a gigantic pair of breasts tightly wrapped on her white and blue kimono, Sesshomaru.

"Kireina-sama, let's go, I am getting bored in here…" said a young Dragonoid girl with pale red skin and dark red scales covering her petite body and flat chest. She had long yet fine claws in her hands and feet, and various horns atop her head that formed a crown-like structure. She had blazing red eyes and long scarlet hair, alongside a long and playful tail atop her petite butt. The dragon princess floated in the air with magic while wearing a simple white dress to cover her body, it was Athos Soul Copy, which was born in a sword I acquired in a reward box, which I then transformed into a demi-human type Living Sword and Dragonoid hybrid.

"You're right guys, let's go hunt some time!" said Amiphossia as she moved with her party to the dungeon while squeezing Eva between her chest…

The last group remaining that were looking at the equipment were the wolves, and three of them seem to have found what they wanted.

Yuki, the Ice Wolf Queen that evolved into a Werewolf shapeshifted into her beautiful humanoid form, a tall woman covered in thin and wonderful muscles and pale white skin with aquamarine eyes and silvery white fur covering her arms, legs, and part of her chest. She had a long wolf tail atop her bubbling butt and a pair of wolf ears atop her head.

She grabbed on a large sword with her hands as if it weighed nothing. The aura of the sword expanded around her body and embraced her without much trouble. This sword was the [Permafrost Great Blade of the Eternal Winter Queen; Dalia (Legendary)], dropped by the queen of Moonfang herself.

"I like this! Kireina-sama, can I take it?" she asked me with a smile while moving her tail.

"You don't need to ask Yuki; I hope that it can help you out… though I feel like it will be hard to use in between transformations…" I said.

"Well yes… but I will manage! Thanks a lot, Master!" she said with a cute smile, I couldn't help but expand one of my arms as a tentacle and pet her fluffy white fur.

"Good girl," I said.

"Ah~! Master's petting…! I-I am not worthy…" said Yuki.

She moved her tail as she received my petting happily.

Cute wolf girls always deserve pettings.

"Oh? These… Aren't they ideal for us?" asked Wagyu as he glanced at two sets of armors made out of ethereal soul energy mixed with various ethereal Divine Materials, they were what is called 'Soul Armor' and are similar to Soul Equipment.

"These two are ideal, indeed! But they are Phantasmal… aren't they?" asked Kekensha with a worried expression.

"Don't worry, take them with you, they will be a good boost in you two strength" I said.

Both Wagyu and Kekensha were incredibly strong and loyal family members, strengthening would never be a loss in any resource nor a waste.

"Master, thank you so much! We don't deserve this kindness!" said Wagyu's three heads at the same time.

"We will make sure to treasure them greatly!" said Kekensha while moving his tail happily.

The two Soul Equipment were Soul Armors dropped by the King of Moonfang and Sunclaw, the [Grand Gray Wolf Beast King's Soul Destructive Ethereal Shadow Armor; Barion (Phantasmal)] taken by Wagyu and the [Lion Beast King's Soul Vigorous Ethereal Golden Armor; Lionel (Phantasmal)], taken by Kekensha.

After they equipped them, both armors melded with their bodies, Auras, and Souls, completely becoming one with them, but they were still equipment that could be taken out if they so desired.

Wagyu's presence became even greater and intimidating as a spectral and gray phantasmal aura decorated his entire tall body.

Meanwhile, Kekensha became even more majestic and radiant with the soul armor of Lionel.

Soul Armors not only increased defense but also greatly increased strength, speed, and all overall fighting capabilities. They were the main 'weapon' of both kings, used to boast their incredible physical strength capabilities while fighting almost half-naked.

Of course, only Lionel showcased most of this power, Barion was killed quite pathetically.

After the meeting was over, I glanced at the leftover equipment with a voracious intent…
