Chereads / StarDuster - Glory of the Umbral Avenger / Chapter 50 - Back in my element.

Chapter 50 - Back in my element.

Hah. Well, the past is the past and it's time to look towards the future, what better way to do that currently then crafting large amounts of Equipment?

Haha! I'm back baby! Divine Craftsman Cobalt here to make some Divine and Unique equipment for ya! Catch that?

Let's jump straight into the fire!

I've turned a small workroom of Mordova's into a temporary forge, where I shall show you my miracles! Ahem... uh, sorry. That was my god impression. Just sorta came out you know?

/\ I need you to make something for me first, specifically a soul ring. /\

The fuck is that?

/\ Make a ring, put soul magic in it, put me in it. /\

... Why?

/\ So I don't have to be in your head anymore. /\

... fine.

System, create a soul ring.

Crafting... |

Binding... |

Complete |

Crimson Ring |

-_- There, much better. -_-

Oh yeah? Good.

Alright, return of the list. Let's see what we need to make.

• Plate mail

• Half Plate

• Robe

• Bow ( Blood )

• Axe ( Toxic )

• Staff( Dark )

• Mana Ring x3

• Mana Core x3

• Mana Tattoo x3

• Exosuit x3

• Experiment 3.

• Experiment 4.

Alrighty that's about it. After I'm done crafting the stuff for my party I'm going to try and create a few " Experiments ".

The first experiment is the remote operation of magic via ritual.

The second is the Combination of Ritual, Chant, and Circle magic.

The names are like that because I consider the hover board to be experiment 1 and magic crafts to be experiment 2. So anyways... first up is plate mail for Jotun.

I don't want the Equipment to end up as Ice type in anyway, so I'm going to buy some new material for it.

System, what's the best blood type material on the market right now?

There is about 19 tons of Blood Ore. |

Also, there is 1 ton of Blood Ingots. |

Buy the blood ingots then, hell... but the whole ton.

Confirmed |

* Ding *

A PM? I wonder...

From Aviroe

- Hey! Cobalt! You bought my ingot! That's Crazy! Thank you very much for buying it, it's been sitting on the shelf for years now!-

- No problem, just needed some material for a friend of mine. -

Deducted 17 Platinum. Warning: Using more platinum might bankrupt the country you currently reside in. |

Don't, care. Got it? How much left?

The nearby Lord has taken the rest of your Platinum as a Tax. |

Your fucking with me. Hold on, one second.

Let me get to a spot I can see them...

Mordova - " I heard that the nearby Lord took your coins dude, there's a watch tower you can probably hit them from. "

Me - " Thanks. "

...

Trick shot... charging 1,000 shots... AoE... use nearby Mana....

....

Haha, Fuck that used alot of my stamina and Mana... good thing I'm fucking crazy.

* Bang *

After firing the first shot, like artillery fire upon them rained my bullets with ferocious power. Detonating upon the landscape was large explosions capable of destroying houses one after another upon the city. With every death sent out mountain of ice that simularly exploding and continued on the slaughter. ... Wait did I just kill a bunch of citizens? That's a war crime oh shit oh fuck.

Only targeting those affiliated with stealing your coins, have no worry about the normal citizens. |

But... how?

AoE only affects enemies. |

That is how that used to be... right?

I could of sworn it hurt anyone within range before... huh. When did that get patched?

It was a base feature. |

... Nevermind. Warp me down there please. Specifically the castle they have.

Warping... |

...

Hey, perhaps you are on your way to your local convince store when a truck suddenly crashes into you. That kinda emotions is probably what the man in front of me was feeling...

I arrived in a lavishly decorated hall, definitely a throne room or something similar. Guards scrambled around me as the dumpling of a man barked orders at them. Sigh... why can't there ever be a king that's like nice or whatever, nowadays it's always corrupt nobelity. Anyways I guess its time to act a little bit.

Me - " Good evening, your majesty. I've seemed to notice that you might of taken a little bit of my funds from me. I'm here to reclaim them as such. I hope you don't mind the death of those outside so far. "

King - " Your that rich Cobalt kid huh? I don't know how you got in here, but the tax was correctly monitored! Besides, the death of the suitor 's escort was quite the concern, something I believe would make it fair, no? "

Me - " Haha, very funny. But I never heard anything about a suitor, were you trying to hook up a kid of yours to my daughter or one of my companions? Such should be the case, they aren't ladies that would date anyone but god level beings. "

King - " Quite the farce, nobody would dare turn down my daughter's hand. Including you. "

Me - " Listen, I've never seen you or anyone in this kingdom before. I was just resting at Mordova's place untill they find the other Crusaders. "

King - " You can't mean... the Ice Goddess?"

Me - " Yeah, you didn't know? I'm the Tundra Crusader, Punk. "

System, oh darling. Please activate my passives.

Confirmed |

The ground froze around me like usual, just from my presence alone now the gaurds where shivering in their armor. Not from fear though unfortunately, I guess they trained in that field quite the bit.

Me - " What do you think? Sorry for suppressing my Aura, I'd thought I'd make it up to you by letting you have a little taste? "

King - " Your Ice spell doesn't scare me, Crusader. My knights are more than capable to handle a little cold. With this fire magic of mine it won't harm anyone. "

Me - " It's not a spell though? It's just the natural passives I have? "

King - " Your not fooling anyone Crusader, Guards... deal with him. "

System, activate blue ice.

Confirmed, warning: Saturated Mana levels. |

Condense the Mana into small crystals for me rather than mobs, if that's possible?

Understood. |

The ice that shuttered the room around me was getting to the soldiers at this point, the king who was covered in small bursts of fire looked irritated.

King - " What spell is this, Crusader? "

Me - " It's not a spell, just my passive abilities. I just unleashed it a little bit more, be considered lucky I'm holding back the Mana levels for you. "

King - " Stop with your nonsense, no amount of passives can create a small blizzard! "

Me - " I'm the Ice Crusader for a reason... if I couldn't put out this amount of ice naturally do you think id be able to live at Mordova's house? "

King - " Damn you, Crusader. I'll end your facade with magic of my own!

* Mumbling... * "

System, Is it possible you could cancel that spell?

The spell will fail anyways, too much ice Mana in the air for fire magic to work. |

Nice. haha Ice, Nice. Haha. That's pretty funny.

...

Anyways... I guess I'm still roleplaying right?

Me - " Mere Fire magic won't work around me, sorry to say. The air around me is saturated in Ice Mana. "

King - " Liar, you can't saturate the air with Mana! Its not stable enough for that, if not for the system you players wouldn't have the ability to manipulate Mana in anyway! "

...

k lol.

* bang *

Well, that settled it.

Me - " Alright, now where is my money?

Holy FUCK it's cold. God damn that stuiped fucking king, he never knows when to fucking give up... I've been training here for 27 long fucking years and that's the sort of respect I get? I get sent to fight a PROPHECY BEARING WARRIOR just because you fucking took his money?

Listen, that's the dumbest shit I ever heard. How much does money mean to you? Damn Bastard. God damnit, if it wasn't for the pay then I would of left DAY ONE.

* Bang *

... Did he just shoot the king?

Well, at least that problem is solved, next up is how the fuck am I going to get out of here alive.

" Yes! That bastard is finally dead, took him long enough! ".

...

Sam, what the fuck. Your gonna get executed for that even if you don't die here!

Wait actually... that might not be a bad plan... we can maybe convince Crusader that we never liked the king and maybe he would spare us! Delightfully deviant of you Jon...

Me - " Whew, good thing too, ay Sam? This might mean we will finally get a break crew! "

_________________________________________

( Cobalt POV )

Y'know, I don't believe a word these guys say about them being happy about the king dieing, but it matters not to me. Maybe one of them will show me where my money went.

While I can't say that I'll take it, considering the notification I got about it... there might be something bad happening that needs the money. If the Princess or whatever takes over and she's like actually nice I might just let the kingdom have the money, I could probably just sell another Divine weapon.
