Chapter 148: Deathforged Remnant Armor

148:

Tom watched with bated breath as Aleph directed strings of blue energy from her palm, before directing them towards the areas where the bone chest piece had been chipped, dented or scratched.

A mesh of blue strings knit together the damaged parts of bone, somehow knowing exactly how the original armor was supposed to look like as it filled in the chips, smoothed over the dents and scratches with clinical precision.

Once Aleph was done, Tom couldn’t even tell that the repaired areas had been damaged at all. Total Recall had repaired a chest piece that Tom doubted was within the capabilities of most blacksmiths to repair and it had done so with amazing precision.

Tom’s excitement grew as Aleph moved on to the leggings that were a light push away from snapping in one segment.

Sure enough, a mesh of blue strings bound the two near severed halves together and filled in the slight gap without any difficulty.

After filling in a few more dents, the bone armor leggings were fully repaired.

It was finally time to see what an uncommon armor set was capable of.

[Auto-analyzing.....

Chest piece ownership uncontested. Increasing appraisal rank by two grades...

Deathforged Remnant Chest Armor, Uncommon Set Item (1/3)

Requirements: 22 Proprioception, 17 Physical

Description: The Deathforged Remnant is a Nether Beast whose existence is bound to a phylactery that they must stay in the vicinity of. These nether beasts can often be deadly towards those unaware of its weakness, but this particular Deathforged Remnant was slain by shattering it’s phylactery, rendering it into a pile of bones.

The Nether Energy that originally empowered this beast is gone, but the bones that have been hardened due to the flow of nether energy have remained intact and have been used to forge this armor set.

Due to the accrued hardness of the Deathforged Remnant’s bones, this chest piece is resistant to slashing attacks and resistant to ranged attacks. Due to the Nether Energy once empowering these bones, this chest piece is resistant to elemental attacks.

Armor Skill:

Blade Breaker: Every time an enemy uses a kinetic or elemental attack against the bone part of this chest armor, a portion of the energy behind the attack is stored until it reaches the required threshold to activate this skill. Blade Breaker: Every time an enemy uses a kinetic or elemental attack against the bone part of these leggings , a portion of the energy behind the attack is stored until it reaches the required threshold to activate this skill. Shatter: Upon taking impact, the bone targeted shatters and its shards are sent flying in the direction of the attacker. Self-Repair: The Deathforged Remnant Greaves are capable of repairing themselves in exchange for a proportional amount of SP outside of combat.

Far more powerful. Supposed clairvoyance and the ability to mimic artifacts and even transfer skills around to different artifacts... that was no rare.

He wasn’t ready for such a revelation, not just yet.

“You know,” Tom sheepishly began. “I think it’s best I let this stay in my inventory until we decide to challenge the Nexus Quest.”

“A reasonable proposition,” Aleph nodded, before pausing to ask, “Did you get hit on the head?” She asked with mock suspicion.

“Really?” Tom protested.

Aleph snickered in response.

“Well,” Tom began, ignoring her amusement for now. “I’m glad Zeth didn’t get to use this against us.”

Aleph’s expression sobered before she nodded, “Detonate, is it? What’s it do?”

“You can’t tell?” Tom asked, sounding a bit confused.

“I can analyze most of it, but it’s not my armor set so the information I get is decreased by two grades. Or so it says.”

“It let’s me empower a single bone with all the energy I siphon from attacks that land on my armor and then throw it. Like a bomb.”

Aleph winced before replying, “I’m glad too, then.”

“Well, enough of that,” Tom shook his head. “I recall promising you something.”

Aleph nodded, before cracking a smile.

“Put that creepy armor in your inventory and let’s go.”

Tom did as he was ordered, a small smile of his own flashing across his expression. Aleph could shop for the material goods, while Tom looked around for something he suspected would be far more valuable.
