Chapter 441: A +11 Epic?!
Chapter 441: A +11 Epic?!Now. When I said bully, I didnt mean anything naughty by that absolutely not! After all, we now had a couple of unwelcome guests: Reyage and Paliseth.
Your holiness, are you alright?
Paliseth barely stepped into the room before she immediately leapt in my direction. Ignoring the visibly at a loss Jezsere near me, she reached out and pulled me towards her, right into a rubbing embrace.
I say, how about you stop showing off those mountains of yours for once Ill admit, they are big, but they are also suffocating me right now. Also, Im still a bonafide man here! Why are you acting so brazenly in front of me? I might just just fine. At least my soul is that of a mans!
If it wasnt for your kids and Solar-sama, I would have already muffled sounds I I swear! Just because my pee pee isnt here doesnt mean you can just bully me
Master masters body is convulsing
Mother cease and desist I could vaguely make out Reyages panicked pleading from within the depths of bouncy hell. Youre hugging his holiness too tightly, he cant breath
After a fair bit of flailing later, I was finally allowed to breath once more. The first thing I did then was to distance myself from Paliseth, scampering all the way to the safety of Jezseres back.
Back off, dont come a step closer! I even threw her a scram look to make my point even clearer. Thats right, just like that, stay the right heck away from me. Also, I forbid you from pointing those deadly weapons in my face again I still want to live for a long time
Alright. Paliseth cheekily smiled as she said that. Clearly my warning had no effect on her.
However, there was nothing I could do about this nonchalance of hers. This centuries old hag definitely knew that I didnt truly dislike her chest rubbing, thats why she always opened up with that move. Speaking of moves that bounciness only gets better the more she does it, like an acquired taste but I definitely do not want to suffer death by bouncy suffocation! At least give me some warning before you do that.
Putting aside the slightly smug Paliseth for now, I turned my attention towards Reyage. Hows your injuries, Reyage?
They are fine now, Reyage is grateful for your holinesss concern. Reyage lowered his head as he said that. His face looked a little tense, just like his unusually polite words, as if he didnt dare look me in the eyes.
I guess this is what an emperor felt like in the past when his subjects addressed him for him to change so much overnight Without a doubt, my status in Dark Elven society had reached the level of an emperor of old.
As long as youre fine. I nodded lightly in his direction but made no mention of why he was even injured to begin with. Reyage smartly chose not to bring up his failure in Arachne Caverns as well.
Just like that, the both of us fell into an awkward silence. Realising this, Paliseth rushed in to break the ice on our behalf. Your holiness, you dont seem too well yourself.
Its fine, just some minor side effects, thats all. Having said that, I raised my left hand to show them my new accessory. This is my +11 Epic Purple Mithril Triple-threat Fire Elemental Guarding a Inferno Lion Summoning Tool
Dont ask me why the name is so long, because I am shocked as well. Why the heck did I think of that name the moment I saw that bracelet?! I know why, it must be Fertiniers fault! That she-devil, why did she have to come with such a weird name!? And I thought thats just a name you only see in games?
Has she been flipping through my memories? Or did I leak out some information from my previous life? Either way, she seems to have found out some stuff about my previous lifeI just hope this wont come back to bite me in the butt.
Master the name is a bit much for Jezsere She groggily shook her head, clearly shocked by the majesty that was my bracelet.
Your holiness sure has a unique sense of naming She tried to think of a more polite way to describe my majestic bracelet but finally settled on a dry laugh instead. Really unique
Reyage:
Hey, dont give me that Im looking at a moron look its really not my naming, its Fertinier! Also also you know what, theres no point in denying it at all. To the uninitiated, I was the one who created this majestically-named bracelet. In that case, the one who came up with the name had to be me as well
Alright, alright its real name is Inferno Lions Splendor. As for that really long and convoluted name I cleared a throat a couple of times and smiled. That was just a joke. The atmosphere was getting a bit bleak so I thought I should liven up the mood. How was it? Funny, right?
Reyage:
Ah, so thats what it was. Paliseth smiled obligingly, but I could tell that it was a very forced one. Your holiness is such a kidder.
Master? Jezsere looked at me quizzically. So that name wasnt real?
Mhm. I nodded. Its real.
Ehhh?!
Her mind exploded at that point hey, hey ,hey, dont go collapsing now
My current state could only be described as frail. Even walking was difficult for me now, so when Jezsere started to faint because of my teasing, I was unceremoniously pushed down onto the bed by her
Oops seems I went a little overboard with the joke
Inferno Lions Splendor was an Epic level piece of equipment, one that had already reached Epic-grade without any further enhancement.
One of the traits of such equipment were that they had their own will and could choose their own master. Furthermore, at their full strength, an Epic-grade equipment could allow an Eight-star to go up against a Nine-star.
However, being an equipment with its own will, not everyone would be able to tame it. Normally, there were two ways of gaining the equipments approval: suppressing it by force, or just be liked by it. Naturally, there was an even better third option of being liked by it and suppressing it by force.
Of course, that wasnt to say that a person automatically had the power of a Nine-star just by owning such an equipment. After all, the tool was a dead thing. The wielder had to be the one to bring out its full potential.
Just like how a Gundamn piloted by a Newtypeh was stronger than one piloted by a normal person, a weapon was only as strong as its wielder.
Going back to the Inferno Lions Splendor, a name which was infinitely easier to remember than what it originally was, this tool had the ability to automatically absorb the fire elements in the environment in order to replenish itself. At the end of the day, a whole Nine-stars core and three Eight-star cores were used up just to make this tool. From Six-star onwards, such magical beast cores had the ability to absorb the elements from the air, just like a self-charging solar battery. In fact, I could use them as a battery right now, although it would be quite an extravagant battery.
Fertinier had already carved a summoning array onto this bracelet. As long as I infused some of my own mana into it, I could instantly summon three Fire Elementals or an Inferno Lion. Either could be summoned separately or together at the same time. As for the actual strength of the summons well, lets just say that it was directly linked to how much mana I put in.
For the time being, I was only able to summon a Fire Elemental. I tried summoning an Inferno Lion, but the proud creature that it was wouldnt submit to me, even in its weakened state. In all likelihood, I had to wait a while longer before I was strong enough to summon it.
Other than summoning, the bracelet also had the ability to control fire to some degree. It was entirely possible to treat it as a mages staff.
That meant that I could still use some fire spells without having to expose my identity. However, rather than calling these spells, they were more like an ability at this point. Also, this fire was only limited to ordinary fire. Nether Flames were flames originating from Hell. If I dared to use that in a human kingdom, that would pretty much expose my identity.
Speaking of Nether Flames, the Inferno Lions Splendor had two different modes to it. The first was where it enhanced ordinary flames while the second was where it enhanced Nether Flames.
Thats right, Nether Flames. This bracelet could enhance Nether Flames. The same flames that even Devils did not dare touch. Even though Fertiniers personality left a lot to be desired, I had to admit, she did me a solid favour this time. Had it not been for her awakening my transformation ability and giving this bracelet, my journey for Nicole might just be my last.
