The First Legendary Beast Master -
Chapter 1286: Giving Gifts
But when Karl brought out the two crafted items, the Prince knew exactly where he knew this man from. It hadn’t been long ago, he was certain that his memory was correct.
This was the man who had created an Artifact Grade axe for Lord Drodh. The Councilman Petros had shown his picture to everyone at a meeting not long after.
Which meant that in the course of little more than a year, he had made it from peak Overlord to Mythic Rank.
That was absolutely insane progress.
His attention didn’t remain on Karl for long. The two bracelets were a marvel of Dwarven sculpture, but the runes that had been carved into them, glowing with faint white light, made it impossible to ignore the unique nature of them.
“Crafted items, made by Karl of the Darklight Host. And what is this spell effect bonus?” He muttered to himself as he read the system description.
[Totem of Elemental Wrath] Increases Elemental Damage by 10 Percent of base per caster rank.
“Is that base weapon damage? It must be. I wish the system would specify what stacked on weapon damage and what added to the skill effects. Never mind, though. At Mythic Rank, that’s more than enough extra damage for even the most basic of skills.
This is well worth calling an epic item.” The Dwarf was lost in his inspection of the items, so Karl explained the situation to the others. “The totem is a new skill, one that I haven’t even had the opportunity to gift to the blue dragons yet. But the other is a Mana Pylon, excellent for long duration mana regeneration for an entire group. That spell they do have, but as with most of the new spells that I find, there are some requirements.” He informed them.
“What restriction? Mana Pylon is the sort of skill that every Mythic Raiding team would want to have.” The Prince of Kopji asked.
Karl was about to answer when Tiffani snorted with laughter. “It requires that you have some affinity with the natural law of mana manipulation. That’s common enough among Mythic Ranked mages and Shamans, but who else can claim it?
Certainly, not many below Mythic Rank.”
Karl shrugged. “She has a point. The restriction is simple, but the power level needed to meet the minimum requirements is not small.”
“So, it’s the ultimate mana regeneration spell, but nobody can use it? Figures.” The Dragon Prince complained.
Karl shook his head. “No, there are better mana regeneration spells. I’ve seen them in use. But this one, it’s more accessible, even if only for the most mana attuned of us.”
The Royals looked startled, but Tiffani knew that Karl was talking about the spells that the other Darklight Host branches’ Guild Masters had used. However, trying to explain the spectacle that was Karl’s wedding to outsiders was not something that she planned or wished to do.
“When did you make these? You have been so busy lately, building this most fantastic arena. But you still found time to make new accessories?” The Kopji Prince asked.
“I completed them today while watching the fight. I had the basics of them already done, I just needed to finish them.” Karl offered.
Azov considered calling him out because Karl had clearly used a spell of some sort to engrave the bracelets after he had worked out where to put the runes. The only thing that had been ready was the bracelet itself, which was made of Mythic Grade stone.
“Then you can make more?” The Prince pushed.
Azov sighed. “Just make them all gifts. I expected that this would happen when I agreed to let you come up here. We should watch these fights, though. There is a group squared up against a Seraphim Gate Guardian right now, and that’s going to be messy.”
Karl moved so he could see out the window, and shook his head at the mismatch. They were all Totem Rank, but the power coming off that Seraphim didn’t belong to this world. It was far too potent. The moment that it unleashed a full powered attack, the battle would be over.
Or, the arena might prohibit it, as it would exceed the safety restrictions that were placed on the contestants.
No. It didn’t restrict the Golem. The Golem’s attacks didn’t damage the barriers.
The Gate Guardian swung his spear in an idle arc, sending out a wave of holy light that sent the entire team crashing against the back wall of the arena, then directly to the infirmary.
Karl could have sworn that the Seraphim looked up at him before it vanished, but he hadn’t had any hand in picking the opponents. It was definitely not his fault that the summoned Divine Being had been disturbed.
“Karl, is it normal for the Epic Golems that the arena summons to have skills and personality?” Tiffani asked.
“Yeah. They’re not perfect, but they’re not enraged like the Dungeon summons. Though that one might be the result of the [Epic Guard] skill, not the [Epic Golem] skill. It’s difficult to tell when the results can be so similar.
Either way, they have clear minds. The demon that your group got was clearly enjoying himself.” Karl agreed.
“Interesting. Perhaps we have misjudged some of the creatures that only exist inside of the dungeons. They might not naturally be as aggressive as we had expected.” She pondered.
Karl suspected that some of them were actually worse when they had their senses about them and could make free decisions, but now that he had seen what was so interested in the arena, he should begin making presents for the other Royals.
If only they had more interesting classes than the basic mage and warrior templates.
“Does anyone have a particular accessory type that they would like? It is likely to replace a combat item.” Karl asked.
The Prince from Shash frowned. “I am actually wearing hand me down gear from our main raid team, and it’s all Totem Ranked. I’m not one of the most combat active people, I mostly relied on my bloodline to make it this far.”
“Do you craft? I can make items for that as well.” Karl offered.
“Well, you could call it that. I spend most of my time researching weapons designs. New, old, practical, unexpected.” He explained.
Karl nodded. “In that case, I can make you exactly the right item, though it won’t be a piece of gear. Just give me a few minutes.”
