I Reincarnated As A Stick

Chapter 153: Mythic Level Equipment

“I would like this equipment to take on the name ‘Devourer of the Living’,” Aurus said after pondering over the name of the equipment set multiple times in his head. Due to the fact that the prompt had popped up once more, telling him that the name of the equipment would affect the additional effect given by the system, he decided to scrap ‘Killer of the Sapient’ as he pushed his soul to the fullest, thinking up of an overbearing name that had similarities to the former name, but felt more tyrannical.

Whoosh!

The system took Aurus’ name and went silent for a bit, possibly processing the name and considering the effect that it would give in exchange. At the very least, if the name would give out a balanced effect of increased offense and defense, the values should at least be a bit higher than before. What he was hoping for right now was an effect that leaned towards extreme offensive power, as he was someone who would be at the sidelines, firing away from a distance.

Ding!

Eventually, about a minute later, a holographic screen appeared in front of his field of vision, informing him of the additional effects that the equipment system would have. After skimming through the effect given by the system, he could not help but feel elated that the effect now leaned more towards greater offensive power.

‘The name ‘Devourer of the Living’ has been chosen. Due to the name given to the equipment set, all damage dealt to Animates shall be boosted by an increment of 50 percent, while all damage dealt by Animates on the user shall be reduced by 10 percent.’ These were the words written on the holographic screen that popped up in front of him.

After confirming the effects of the equipment set’s name, he then moved onto the customization portion of the equipment, to which he made the weapon lean towards Magic Damage, while having his armor lean both towards Magic and Physical Defense. Since he was used to its shape, he designed the weapon on the equipment set to take on the appearance of Staff No. 2, confirming it after putting a few embellishments on the armor to make it stand out a bit.

Ding!

‘How many FP would you like to invest in this equipment?’ A screen appeared in front of Aurus’ field of vision not long after customizing the equipment set’s appearance and type. This time, he thought about the amount for a while, since he had a feeling that the more FP he invested into the equipment set, the higher the grade it would have. He then recalled that investing a value of around 3000 FP was enough to achieve a grade of Grand, but as he remembered correctly, that was the minimum grade given to any equipment crafted through the skill.

It was then that he pondered as to what was the minimum amount needed to reach the Mythic grade of equipment. Indeed, to have a higher fighting chance against the Animates in the upcoming war, as well as make the equipment sets a superb trump card, he was going to try and have his own equipment set be at the Mythic grade of quality. As for the Pillar level members, as well as Herellia, Legendary level equipment, which was just one grade below Mythic, would probably be enough for them. For Executive level and normal members of the alliance, he would just give them Epic level equipment, which was a grade above Grand, but below Legendary.

After a few moments of ponderation, he then decided to invest all of his FP into the equipment set, amounting to approximately 15000 FP. As soon as he said that, all of the FP in his FP storage was gone, turning into a swarm of intangible threads that headed towards the holographic screen in front of him. Fortunately, since he had fused all of his storage skills, including the one that gave him a great speed of FP recovery, the speed at which he recovered his FP was significantly improved, allowing him to recover hundreds of FP in a few seconds.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just like before, five blobs of intangible energy hovered in front of Aurus, transforming into equipment made out of Flux bit by bit, eventually heading towards Aurus’ body a few minutes later.

Ding!

‘Great success! The equipment set [Devourer of the Living (Epic)] has been created.’

Seeing the notification that the equipment set had finally finished crafting, he instantly looked at the stats given by an Epic level equipment that suited him. In short, the stats were significantly stronger than one at the Grand level, with even a few unique effects being added due to it being Epic level. Nonetheless, he still yearned to craft a Mythic level equipment set for himself. He put this equipment set in his inventory, disassembling the Grand level equipment set he made a while ago, reminding himself to give the Epic level set to either an Executive or normal member who would rather be at the sidelines dealing ranged attacks.

He waited for a bit as he let his FP reach its maximum capacity once more, opening up the equipment fabrication screen as he did the same steps from before. At this point in time, he could not help but think that 15000 FP is enough for him to achieve a grade of Mythic for his equipment set. It was just that he was unlucky in the randomization of grades.

And so, after a few more minutes, another notification appeared in front of Aurus’ field of vision.

Ding!

‘Great success! The equipment set [Devourer of the Living (Epic)] has been created.’

“Eh? Why is it still at the Epic level? Is my luck really this bad?” Aurus could not help but mutter to himself. He calmed himself down for a few seconds, before telling himself that if the third set of equipment was still Epic with the same level of FP invested, the truth of needing more FP to craft better equipment is a fact and he would need to increase the amount of FP he had at hand.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Opening up the equipment fabrication one more time, he went through all of the steps once again, as well as investing the same amount of FP before. Just as he received the notification that the equipment set was finished crafting a few minutes later, he hoped that it was at least an equipment set of a higher grade. He then looked at the notification screen in front of his field of vision, only to be appalled by the words written.

‘Great success! The equipment set [Devourer of the Living (Epic)] has been created.’

Bang!

At that point in time, it was as if a great explosion occurred in his mind from the sheer disbelief he felt that his FP was not enough to craft Mythic level equipment, but was enough to create a clone that was of the Animate existence level. Fortunately, he was able to get over his brief tantrum as he calmed himself down, deciding that it was a waste of time to complain at the skill’s effects. He then started to ponder on ways on how to increase the amount of FP he had at the moment.

Whoosh!

Not long after trying to think up of a way to increase his FP, he opened up his skill list, looking through the skills he had at the moment that could possibly boost his maximum FP capacity even further. Eventually, he recalled that he bought a skill from the Alliance Market which did just that, activating the skill not long after.

“[Boundless Spirit Domain]!”

Swish! Swish!

In an instant, his sensitivity to the energy around him was increased by a few notches, while the amount of FP he could store at the moment was significantly increased as well, his body giving off a slightly intense green glow. He then commanded the system to check on the amount of FP he currently had, slightly surprised that the amount of FP he had right now was over 20 thousand points. At this moment in time, he had a hunch that he would definitely surpass the Epic grade with this amount of FP.

And so, that’s what he did. He opened up the equipment fabrication screen yet again, going through the usual routine of adjusting everything, but this time, the amount of FP he invested into the equipment set was at the very least 50% higher than before.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the equipment set solidified and melded with Aurus’ body, another notification appeared in front of Aurus’ field of vision, to which he hastily skimmed, letting out an inward sigh of relief not long after.

‘Super success! The equipment set [Devourer of the Living (Legendary)] has been created.’

Finally proving that the amount of FP equated to the rarity of the equipment set, Aurus could not help but be ease as he finally knew how to increase the equipment set’s rarity to the Mythic grade. But then, just as he was about to craft another set of equipment, he could not help but pause for a while before remembering that he was limited to over 20 thousand FP at the moment. He did not have any other skill to increase his FP other than [Boundless Spirit Domain], making him let out a helpless sigh.

“Well then,” Aurus lamented inwardly. “I guess I’ll just stick to Legendary equip…wait a minute.”

Just as he was about to accept the fact that he could not craft equipment sets that had a rarity higher than Legendary, a memory surfaced in his mind, which detailed a notification he obtained from the system back then. It was at that point that he knew what to do.

“System!” Aurus commanded. “Use one of my chances to max out [Supreme Spirit-Flux Chiliocosm]!”

Indeed, that memory was about the Transcending Comprehension Leaf being completely absorbed by him, giving him 9 chances to max out any skill he wanted in an instant. He used up two of them a while ago, reducing his chances to 7. Now that he used it on another skill, it was reduced even further to 6.

Ding!

Nonetheless, Aurus did not have any regrets whatsoever to this choice.

‘[Supreme Spirit-Flux Chiliocosm] has reached the MAX level.’

‘[Supreme Spirit-Flux Chiliocosm] has met the necessary requirements and is ready to evolve.’

Although the system told him that he could upgrade his sole FP storage skill to the next grade, he did not do so as he had a hunch that the amount of FP he had right now, including the effects of [Boundless Spirit Domain], would now allow him to craft an equipment set of the Mythic grade.

“System, show me how much FP I can carry!” he commanded, with the system’s voice resounding throughout his mind not long after. Listening to the words said by the system, Aurus could not help but radiate an aura of hope around him.

‘At the moment, you can carry a maximum of 34000 Flux Points.’

“This is definitely more than enough,” Aurus said to himself as he calmed himself down. After his mind was back to its usual state, he opened up the equipment fabrication screen once more, going through the normal steps of fabrication, before arriving at the FP investment screen once more.

Without hesitation, he put in all 34000 FP into the equipment set he was crafting, with five balls of energy appearing not long after which shone a divine light around it. As the five balls gradually formed into equipment, he could not help but feel the aura that each equipment was radiating, being a notch higher than the aura radiated by the Legendary equipment set he made a while ago.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Eventually, the equipment set was finished crafting, melding with Aurus’ body as a notification appeared in front of his field of vision.

“It’s time to see whether I’ve successfully done it or not,” Aurus muttered to himself, trembling inwardly as he gradually focused on the screen that appeared in front of his field of vision. After skimming through the words written on the screen, he could not help but dance in an ecstatic manner like a wooden sculpture should as an aura of intense happiness radiated from his body.

“Finally! I can finally mass produce it!”

Ding!

‘Ultimate success! The equipment set [Devourer of the Living (Mythic)] has been created.’

‘Due to the equipment set reaching the Mythic grade, the equipment set has been imbued with the [Protection of the Myths] effect.’
