Chapter 365 - A Penguin Clad in Armor, Towards the Celestial Realm!
Chapter 365 - A Penguin Clad in Armor, Towards the Celestial Realm!
As many beings prepared for the profound opportunity opening itself up, Noah’s clone was in the underground layer of this spiritual land where an amazing sight was taking place as a Penguin of immense arrogance raised its beak even higher into the skies because of the majestic Item Set it was currently adorned in.
Noah was standing in front of the Emperor Penguin as he observed the tight fitting of the {Blood Stained Infernal Oath Set} with shining eyes.
The strongest beast of the Spiritual Land was the first to be tested as the moment it equipped the items they went on to tightly wrap around his body and fit as if they were meant for him. The {Blood Stained Infernal Oath Set} contained the sword and the b.r.e.a.s.tplate that he created first, and then later on he was able to craft the leggings, shoes, armguards, and a helmet! The entire set shone with a red l.u.s.ter as it fully covered the penguin, the multiple pieces going on to smoothly attach to his body.
Going back a few minutes prior, the Hearth of the Blacksmith’s Forge had produced the last 4 four pieces of the set as they floated grandly in front of Noah’s eyes, the descriptions of their boosts being around the same as the last two items.
VOID [Infernal’s Spiked Leggings] :: Leggings that are meant to provide smooth movements while granting increased protection. +50% Defense. +20% Increased Elemental Resistance. +50% Increased Fire Element Resistance. (Part of the Blood Stained Infernal Oath Set)
VOID [Infernal’s Spiked Helmet] :: A crown created to exemplify the qualities of one that is stained with the blood of Infernals. +10% Attack and Cast Speed, +25% To All Element Resistance.(Part of the Blood Stained Infernal Oath Set)
VOID [Infernal’s Spiked Armguards] :: Armguards that are meant to provide versatility while also reinforcing the strength of the user. +10% Attack and Cast Speed. (Part of the Blood Stained Infernal Oath Set)
VOID [Infernal’s Spiked Boots] :: Swift and strong, this Infernal footwear provides the speed and agility required to move across tough terrains. +20% Movement Speed, Unaffected by the extreme burning grounds you stand on. (Part of the Blood Stained Infernal Oath Set)
Once the set fully came together, it created a menacing armored figure that was adorned with a fierce helmet that had two horns protruding on either side. It made for a demonic picture, and this contrast was especially interesting on the emperor penguin.
Its flippers were fully covered as numerous spikes protruded from the armed guards, it’s beak holding a red sheen as a thin red film of light came to protect it. Its beady eyes were able to be seen from the thin slit that was visible from the small opening of the helmet of the infernal set.
This was the completed and finished creation of the first set that Noah had crafted from the use of the Blacksmith’s Forge. It was a fully void rank {Blood Stained Infernal Oath Set}! One of the things that Noah found to be marvelous about this Item Set was the unique abilities they provided after one wore all 6 items.
{Blood Stained Infernal Oath Set} :: The complete set that only those capable of taking down numerous infernals are rewarded. Set Bonus: 2 Pieces- Apply the Fear Effect to all those at lower ranks. 4 Pieces- Gain a unique enhancing energy in the form of a Frenzy Charge after every kill. The Frenzy Charges gradually disappears after 30 seconds. Each Frenzy Charge grants +5% Increased Damage. 6 Pieces- Enter the state of Infernal Rage whenever you are low on life, granting you 100% more Damage and Regeneration, as well as the gained Frenzy Charges not expiring.
The concept of Frenzy Charges that increased your damage output every time you took down an enemy reminded Noah of Berserkers that would continue fighting in a bloody battlefield as they only became stronger with time. This was complemented even more when looked over the last boost given for equipping all 6 pieces that allowed one to enter an actual berserker state. He knew that this type of Item Set would definitely go on to be extremely useful for his forces in the future.
He had used up almost all the bodies of the void rank infernal that he held to create enough set items to completion, but the product was worth it!
"How do you feel?"
He asked the flexing emperor penguin as he wanted to get feedback on the boosted strength from someone that didn’t have the crazy boosts that he personally held.
"Powerful master, it feels as if I have an exhaustible amount of energy!"
Noah nodded as he replied while moving out
"Good. Let’s test it out in combat and check out the boosts provided by the set bonuses themselves."
The plan that Noah’s clone was currently carrying out was collecting as many bodies of dead Infernal as possible and using them as materials to mass produce these spectacular item sets that enhanced the strengths of his people by a large margin.
There were still many tests to conduct as time passed, his attention also divided into the increased ratio of the Time Space where in the last two tier upgrades, it did not double as it had been doing in the past. From the 6th to the 7th Tier, the upgrade went from 1:20 to a ratio of 1:25, and the 8th Tier granted a ratio of 1:30!
It felt like a nerf had been placed as the ratio would have become simply monstrous if it continued to double, but it didn’t mean much to Noah as the ratio of 1:30 was already insane by itself. This was because a single passing day outside would mean 30 days in the Time Space of the Spiritual Land. It was already a crazy concept that would allow him to swiftly raise the proficiency of his skills that continued to become harder to raise the more they advanced in rank.
This was just another thing that he had on his to do list, with his tasks expanding to create numerous Item Sets using the Blacksmith’s Forge, spending some time in the Time Space to increase the proficiencies of his [Lesser Cthulhu], [Fate’s Guardian], and the [Abhorred Lich Emperor] that was actually leading in proficiency as it had been active this entire time, as well as explore the features of Law Space. As the clone steadily moved to accomplish these goals, in the 7th Celestial Star, a few days passed since the Grandmaster broke the news of the Celestial Realm to Noah and Athena.
Today, Noah had once again received a telepathic message as he was condensing Fate Lines in his Abode.
"Come! We have gained the go ahead for you and Athena to delve into the Celestial Realm first!"
Noah’s eyes shone as he received this message, a light smile appearing on face as his figure disappeared from his Abode and reappeared near the Monastery.
Athena wasn’t too far behind as the girl had her hair already tied in a ponytail, the red robe she wore hiding her bountiful figure beneath as the both of them came to see the Grandmaster.
"Haha, this is a great opportunity. You two will get firsthand knowledge on how to move in the Celestial Realm, and you..."
The wizened Grandmaster Vredral turned towards Noah as he finished his words.
"...will get to meet even more astounding geniuses besides Athena. Some may not be on your level, but they should still be able to give you a fight!"
The Grandmaster neared their positions as a brilliant light erupted to cover the three of them, their figures fading away as the light died down, their bodies reappearing inside a familiar Prime Warship they had used just a few days ago.
"We are setting off towards the land of opportunity and magnificence, the Realm filled with peril and danger, but also filled with treasures out of your wildest imagination!"
The voice of Grandmaster Vredral rang out as Athena and Noah looked towards each other, a thrilling light passing through their eyes as each of them held their own thoughts. Athena longed to find her purpose and what fate laid in store for her, while Noah was hungry for this phenomenal realm that was largely unexplored even after thousands of years, and for what possible treasures were waiting within!
