Chapter 423: Frostbane Treasures
[Frostbane Armor (Bronze) (Treasure)]
[Level: 1]
[+100 Constitution]
[Ability: Frostbane Zone]
[Absorb Frostbane Aether to repair armor]
[Exude Area of Effect in <1> meter radius that deals <1> Ice-Poison Damage per second when activated at the cost of 1 Durability per minute]
[Durability: 10/10]
Despite being a step below the Basilisk Skin Armor in grade, Sylas might even argue that this armor was better. To have both a self-repair function and an AOE attack built in was simply huge.
Sylas had already lost several weapons due to Durability, and would only lose more in the future.
He couldn't use his kunai anymore because one more attempt would probably break them, he had just lost Azrael's sword not long ago, and even the Stabilizing Bracelet, after so many uses, was beginning to take some nicks. He would have to be really cautious with how he used it in the future.
The obvious tradeoff was that its innate Defense fell off a cliff and likely didn't scale very high either. But even so, unless he leveled up the Basilisk Skin Armor to ridiculous levels, he would probably prefer this armor due to its versatility.
Plus, when you took into account the fact that the Basilisk Skin Armor was Silver Grade, and would certainly require Silver Grade Genes to continue to level up in the future, you would have an obvious position tradeoff that couldn't be denied.
Unfortunately, all of that was worthless since he couldn't use it.
The silver lining was that maybe Nosphaleen could use it in the future, but he wasn't yet certain if that would be possible. If things went well, then Nosphaleen would probably lose her humanoid form and thus the ability to use this armor in the first place.
'I'll make use of it somehow. I'll also have to find a method of getting my equipment repaired...'
Unfortunately, his Dual Class Constitution didn't seem to extend to Dual Profession. But even if it did, he wouldn't even know how to go about getting the needed Profession in the first place. Obviously, he had stumbled onto his Vipermancer Profession completely by accident, and he wasn't even sure if he'd have the necessary time to give to another.
Summoning.
'Fascinating...'
Sylas raised a hand to his head to check something and was thankful that all his hair was still there. Though, it was getting a little long now.
'I'll also need to do something about my clothes...'
The rags he was wearing had also shattered into shards of ice, leaving him entirely naked. His main problem was that unlike everyone else, he could only wear the most ordinary of
clothing, leaving them vulnerable to things like this.
Sylas took a breath and swapped out his Aether, feeling a thrumming sensation run through his body as he felt even more powerful. Now, his Aether skin also came with double the
Defense. This would be a huge advantage in battle.
Finally, he turned his attention to the second-to-last item.
It was a scroll, and when he popped the bubble, he realized that it was actually a Skill.
In fact, it was a Skill type he had been meaning to get for the longest time.
A movement type Skill.
Unfortunately...
'I can't use this...'
[Frostbane Escape (FFF-) (Race Skill)]
[Deconstruct the body into Frostbane Runes and reappear in any location with <10> meters
with sufficient Frostbane Aether concentration]
[Note: Limited to Elemental Races]
