BXBX NOVEL Chapter 109 - High Expectations
-----
After leaving the four weapons fusing with the main one, I glanced upon the other eight equipment pieces, the best of the best within this pile… it took us some hours to find everything, so of course, they are amazing.
First let\'s go with the clothes, which encompass an entire slot. Due to this, usually, a whole suit of armor counts as just a single equipment slot, and you gotta equip it completely or it won\'t give you its effects.
The armor we got was all elemental resistant, and the best we could find.
The first one was a white-colored armor set that was pretty light-weighted, it held holy light attributes within it and was also resistant to darkness and shadow attributes. It seemed to be the armor a paladin would wear…
The second one was a red-colored set that seemed like a wizard, it was completely red, with blazing flames-like decorations made of golden fabric, it was a good one to enhance fire damage and it also gave elemental resistance to wind and water.
The third one was something that looked like a futuristic latex suit reinforced with high magic technology, it seemed to enhance physical and magical capabilities, alongside flexibility. The suit looked a lot like those that are worn in Gantz...
And the fourth piece of equipment resembled some casual wear, with a large white lab coat, something that a crazy scientist would wear… It seemingly enhanced crafting and alchemy abilities.
All of them were SS-Rank in Grade, so they were going to be pretty nice additions.
Lastly, there were the accessories. Aside from the Weapon and the set of clothes, there is the third slot, a single accessory! Of course, there are so many types, it feels unfair that you can\'t equip more than one. And well, you can, but you won\'t get their effects…
Yeah, that\'s why I am so thankful for the ability to fuse equipment that the Blacksmith Skill brings, especially with Anna, a powerful summon that is specialized in blacksmithing, crafting, and also she is a good fighter.
You can also use the system to directly add materials into equipment to upgrade it, of course, but Anna is different, as she brought the ability to fuse equipment, before that, you could only use raw materials over it, but she brings this special power and if she does it, it also costs less Gold.
And here are the accessories…
The first accessory was an azure-blue ring with the power of the Blessing of Water Nymphs, enhance water resistance and water damage dealt, while also bringing the power to summon water and control it through the Hydrokinesis ability.
The second accessory was a watch, yes, a golden watch which seemed to have the power to hasten the cooldown of skills and let me conjure magic incredibly fast as well.
The third accessory was a bracelet with a skull decoration on top of it, it enhanced the power of Undead that I created through Necromancy, and it also brought Necromancy as an Ability, but I already had it… well, it might become stronger with two now.
And the fourth accessory was a pendant with a red and orange feather stuck to it. This feather was named Phoenix Feather, and the accessory gave me the ability to have multiple lives… yes, even if my Vitality Reaches zero, I will revive once. This has a cooldown of an entire week, but it might reduce with the Watch\'s effect.
The first three accessories were SS-Rank, while the last one was SSS-Rank, and was dropped by the Rat, this is why it was so overpowered.
It will certainly come in handy. Although I really don\'t want to die or something… So I don\'t know if it will ever become useful unless there is a cataclysmic event where Earth is destroyed and everyone, including me, dies.
But then I revive in the middle of the space… Haha, like hell that would happen, I won\'t let this planet be destroyed… After all, this planet is the world I was born in.
With this overpowered gear, Anna quickly begins to fuse it over my other equipment, she was working very hard within the Furnace Domain she created.
Something interesting to note, as a side note that is not so related to what I was talking about previously, is that most of the Summons had begun to exude some sort of divine energy within them, similarly to me. It seems that as they level up and progress, they can even become God-Grade Summons or something…
Although we are really at very early stages, so we can\'t really tell what is truly happening with everyone. And even as a Pseudo Demigod, I am still not a Demigod, but I got like… I don\'t know, it is as if I were halfway through it, but not yet.
I still have to level up some more, change jobs, and reach the last Rank of a Pseudo Demigod, becoming 9/9 and finally seeing if, after that, I can become an actual Demigod… I asked Gaia over it, and she had no idea, never in the past has any mortal ever been raised to godhood, so she was in the blue on all of this, sadly.
Hopefully, as we progress, we can develop more divine powers, although it seems that our Skills alone make a good difference, some of the skills, as they are already low ranked, might not offer as much power against stronger beings. Although at the very least, those at S-Rank and above might still be powerful enough.
I could also try to infuse the power of my skills into my Beast Orb as I did against the rat. By fire wasn\'t potent enough to burn it, but when I fused it with the Beast Spirit, the golden flames were very powerful and managed to leave big wounds over the beast. Although its regeneration capacity was also insane… so I don\'t know how strong other monsters within the rat\'s existence realm might end up being…
"Master, it\'s done!"
Anna quickly brought me the upgraded equipment.
