Chapter 651 Testing the Crown’s Powers

With Frostine’s finished crown in his hands, Marcus first tested the most problematic enchantment that easily could have ended up damaged during the etching process.

‘Hopefully it works.’ He though as he sent a bit of mana into the crown.

Luckily it shrunk down, and the large crown became a much smaller circlet that would be easier to wear.

It was exactly as Frostine had asked and it looked fit for royalty even in its shrunk down form.

Seeing this Marcus let out a sigh of relief since it was the formation he was most afraid would not work as he had not tested it on amethros before.

‘Now I just need to make sure everything else is in order and then I can be certain it will be done.’

This time he put the crown on to his head and tested out another of the magical formations etched into it.

Immediately the crown which was in its circlet form expanded to fit his head perfectly and sat there quite comfortably.

Next he tired reverting it back to a crown and the process happened seamlessly..

Once that was done, he created his iron golem and ordered it to attack.

BOOM!

The titian made of iron slammed down both of its arms towards Marcus but was stopped short when it hit a barrier.

The iron golem continued swinging for a good two minutes without putting a scratch on the barrier, before Marcus dismissed.

‘Looks like the automated barrier works. I was afraid that it would be unable to properly distinguish between threats or not, but everything seems to work fine.’ Marcus thought as he tested the best defensive formation on the crown.

Now even if Frostine was attacked by an attack she nor her guards could see coming, the crown would act automatically to protect her.

Of course, it was not perfect, but it would probably take someone that was very strong to break through the barrier in one hit. Even Marcus knew he would be unable to unless he used one of his strongest attacks which had a long build up time and would be intercepted before Frostine would be in danger.

After that he moved onto the other defensive formations that could be activated on command.

The first one replicated Mrazivý’s ice magic spell Frost Dragon’s egg and encased the wearer in a thick layer of ice that was difficult to break through and would freeze anyone that got too close.

Along with that it also could strengthen the user’s body and make them quite a bit tougher so that even most mithril weapons would bounce off.

Next was the regeneration formation which worked impeccably well and was even above Marcus’ current high speed regeneration skill.

‘With this anything other than her head begin taken off at once likely will not kill her since she has a high level as well.’ Marcus thought as he watched how quickly the cut across his hand he had made healed.

Soon he had tested all of the crown’s defensive capabilities and found them all to work exceptionally well.

‘Now for offense.’

Focusing a large amount of mana into the crown he activated one of its best offense powers and the temperature in the area around him began to plummet.

Soon twelve warriors made of ice had appeared before him, with three wielding shields and spears, another three with bows and arrows, three with swords, and three that were dressed like mages and wielded staffs.

‘Hm that is a tier eight spell for you, it is certainly strong.’ Marcus thought as he looked at the ice warriors he had created.

Kalt had given him access to this spell which was one of Gwyneria’s creation and allowed for powerful knights made of ice to be created.

Depending on the amount of mana used the warriors had different levels of strength and Marcus had used all he could to bring them out as strong as possible.

‘Hm they are all level fifty-four, and quite strong even for their levels.’

As their summoner Marcus was able to see all of their stats and found that they all had relevant skills for the types of fighters that they were, and that they would be able to go toe to toe with an average person at the same level.

The ice wizards even had level five ice magic making them as strong as the kingdom’s archmages and the other warriors were already as strong as some of the kingdom’s strongest knights.

Though this was the spell as strong as Marcus could make it. And while Frostine was strong being over level fifty, she was not likely going to be able to create these ice warriors at the same level as Marcus.

Still, the spell was versatile and could conjure less warriors at higher levels depending on the situation.

‘It is too bad I had to trim it down to fit onto the crown though. Its original power allowed it to create any number of warriors and could make an army of ice warriors and assign them different levels.’

Nevertheless, since this crown was mostly meant to be used in a defensive capacity in case Frostine was ever in danger, it really did not have the need to create an army.

Going on, Marcus finished testing the other offensive powers of the crown and found that all of them worked even better than he expected.

‘I suppose this is what a magical item created with some of the best materials in an impeccable facility can do.’ Marcus thought in awe of the crown’s powers.

It was very impressive though it did have one problem in that it could guzzle through its wearer’s mana very quickly if they were not careful.

‘Luckily Frostine is strong and has quite a high level of mana, so she should be fine.’

With this crown there was no doubt that she would be well protected and be able to respond to most threats with ease.

Having completed his checks and made sure that the crown looked exquisite enough for the ruler of a kingdom to wear, Marcus exited the forge and sent a telepathic message to Kalt and Frostine.

‘Oh, you certainly finished it quite quickly. I am impressed. I will begin preparations for a space for us to meet and contact Frostine so that you can give it to her.’ Kalt responded.

‘That is great. I cannot wait to see it. Thank you so much Marcus. I am glad that I will have you as a brother-in-law.’ Frostine responded with obvious elation.

Then he reached out his mind and located Mrazivý and contacted her personally.

‘Mraz, I have finish it. If you want to try it out before I hand it over to your sister come down to the castle’s amethros forge and I will let you have a try with it.’ Marcus said to her with a tone of excitement.

Within just a couple of seconds he received a positive response, and Mrazivý arrived in just a few minutes. Making it quite clear she had rushed without informing any of her personal as she should have.

“Wow it is beautiful. Mrazivý said as she picked up and examined the crown.

It was currently in its full form and showing off all of its glory.

Tentatively Mrazivý put it one and said, “How does it look?”

Seeing this Marcus smiled widely since the crown really suited her.

“It looks like it fits perfectly on you. I dare say that you look exactly like a queen.”
