Chapter 483 Greenie's Evolution

"Hey, why are the items like this though, I mean, they're taking up two slots?" Reign suddenly asked as he examined the gloves he was currently holding.

"Ah, right, you guys don't know that." Aethion suddenly spoke out.

"You see, items here as well have been surprisingly abundant in numbers, not to mention the places you could put them on."

"Usually, one could equip about 4 pieces of armor, but for you guys, it was about 8, which was way too much, to be honest, but that was partly in order to make up for you guys having to go through such an ordeal early on, you never fought against any monsters before, neither did anyone from your planet use mana, well, almost anyone as we have learned."

"Anyway, there are 5 armor pieces, the main armor which takes up the chest area, torso, and shoulders, sometimes it has a cape as well."

"Next would the arms which is just one item, not multiple like before, a belt is sometimes available, but sometimes not."

"So yes, from now on, you guys will have 4, or perhaps the system will allow for 5 individual pieces as it sometimes lets you keep the torso independent."

"So, we had an advantage when it came to items compared to other planets?" Reign asked Aethion as the latter agreed.

"A big one, to be honest."

( Author: alright, like I said, making some changes, but I don't want to simply change things and brake the current lord when it comes to items, so from now on, there will be chest armor, gloves, boots, and helmet while I'm still considering whether or not to keep greaves independent or not, I will have to think about that before making my decision since I'm 50/50 when it comes to that. )

"So, is this only for rank S items?"

"So far, but the system might make changes and simply integrate the same system for all, the items people have on would simply get fused in a sense and give less of a bonus compared to before."

"Alright, so from now on we will get fewer armor pieces, good to know that." Reign said before looking down at the gloves he had acquired.

[ Rank S Relentless Hands of Lightning ]

Def: 70

Agility + 20%

Spirit + 10%

Description: A pair of gloves that a smith had created after having a crazy idea. He thought that he would be able to create an ultimate masterpiece if he was able to somehow get lightning to strike before the item was finished. He worked hard and put the best possible materials in the gloves he had created before using most of his money to employ multiple high-ranking wizards in order for them to use their magic to change the weather and force lightning to strike the gloves. The wizards were successful and lightning struck, but contrary to the belief of the smith, the gloves almost got destroyed and he lost his life as the lightning killed him. The gloves are now much weaker compared to how they once were, but the user can still activate the array that was crafted inside and suddenly gain the power of lightning for some time. Those that can already control lightning or have lightning-related powers will have them empowered during the duration of the array.

"Good." Reign said as he nodded to the new gloves he had acquired.

The gloves seemed a bit burned and there were lines running over them that looked like lightning.

There were a couple of jewels on the gloves, but they were obviously gone as some were broken, while others had a dull look to them.

Only about 1/5 of the gems were functional and that was what the array would use in order to function.

Reign put the gloves on before discarding his old ones, he would simply sell them to other players later on.

The others all looked at their items before doing the same and equipping them. Everybody got an item that they could use and that boosted their ability or went well with their fighting style. The thing was that the grade of the items also stayed generally the same for all of them, even the lucky bastard that was Beast got the same mid-grade item as everyone else.

Reign and the others all smiled before they decided to call it a day. Greenie should be done with his evolution by tomorrow, and they wanted to get up early before going to the second mountain.

Night fell, and unbeknownst to Reign and the others, a group of five demons arrive on the first mountain. All five were Tier II and they entered the demon base.

Upon seeing five demons, the ones in the base were first confused, before becoming angry, and then shocked after sensing how powerful all five of them were.

For a moment, they thought that the higher-ups had sent five normal demons to them as 'reinforcements' which deeply offended them, only to realize that they had received the help of five Tier II demons.

Five Tier II demons were enough to completely obliterate the base, even back at its peak with Arash leading it.

The demons entered the base and looked around before going to the headquarters and sitting down with the other demons.

They started interrogating the demons about what had happened and how Arash died.

Upon learning that another Tier II monster had suddenly entered the base and started slaughtering everybody before being stopped by Arash, the five immediately constricted their eyes but did nothing and continued listening.

"So, you say there were 6 humans and an ogre that left Arash's building after the battle, and they said that Arash was dead, right?" One of the Tier II demons, a female asked as the other demons all nodded quickly.

"You were able to hear Arash and the fox battling and then the sound became weaker before a bombardment of mana was suddenly heard for quite some time, you said that the battlefield was a completely chaotic area and that both Arash and the fox had their bodies completely destroyed from the bombardment?" Another Tier II demon asked.

"Yes sir."

"Well, then it should be just as you reported, the humans used the fox in order to draw Arash out and force the two to spend their energy in order to make them easy prey before attacking them and taking them by surprise."

"None were Tier II?"

"Yes, they released their auras, and we are all certain that even though all of them were incredibly powerful, they shouldn't be Tier II, not yet."

"Good, then we shall do as we were instructed." The tallest of the Tier II demons said as he glanced and the others who all nodded their heads in agreement.

The five demons stood up as the other ones all stared at them and hurried to get up as well.

"M-my lords, what will you do?"

"Don't worry, we are going to take care of those pests that dared attack one of our bases and kill Arash, by the end of the next day, there will not be any humans on this mountain." The tallest demon said as a huge battleaxe appeared in his hands.

As for Reign and the others, they were woken up during the night by a powerful aura that was coming from below.

They realized that it was definitely Greenie who was breaking through and was reaching the final step of evolution. They all got dressed before getting down to the underground area and observing Greenie.

The phantom of Vajra above Greenie stared down at him and nodded with a satisfied smile before disappearing.

Greenie had managed to do it, he had finally managed to reach Tier II.

'Hey, Aethion.' Reign suddenly said.

"Yes, boy?'

'Is there any way for- you know what, we'll talk later, Greenie is coming.' Reign smiled widely as Greenie came to him and the others with a proud expression on his face.

He was the one to evolve to Tier I first back when the whole team was split up and sent to different planets, while he was the last one this time.

Greenie didn't really care, the most important thing for him was that he and the others were becoming stronger, and by becoming stronger, it would be harder for anyone to truly endanger Reign and the others, while it would be easier for him to make sure they were all well.

Everything Greenie had came from Reign, that was his belief.

If there was any need to, he would sacrifice himself for Reign at any moment.

The only thing that Greenie wished for was to grow powerful enough so that nobody could pose a threat to Reign or any of the others.

The party members all congratulated Greenie before they all went up and returned to sleep.

It was there that Reign once again started talking with Aethion.

'Hey, about what I was going to ask.'

"Yes?"

'Do you know if there is any way to make a subordinate free again, make him a member of the group?'
