The next day, Arthur left the other nine Fae Masters, heading towards the Clan Reserves with a slight smile on his face. Stepping down the stairs within the Lecture Hall, Arthur hummed a gentle sound, before activating his Emotion Attributed Control Skill and destroying the large gate that protected the Clan Reserves from being breached.
An Attribute Control Skill with Rank 3 Fae being used at its core? In addition to Emotion Laws to enhance the powers of Fae?
With only three slashes of his Ego Sword Slash, a massive hole could be seen in the gate, and a large piece of metal was completely severed from the entrance, falling onto the ground, causing the earth beneath to shake violently.
Arthur didn't even give the fallen metal gate a second glance, before entering the Clan Reserves, smiling slightly at the huge amount of Fae Boxes and stored Fae materials.
Arthur had already collected an enormous amount of Rank 3 Fae from the various Elders all over the Village, not to mention an even larger amount of Rank 2 Fae from all of the other Fae Masters within the Kovacs Clan.
Rank 2 Lightning Sword Fae.... Rank 2 Wind Essence Fae.... Rank 2 Lava Whip Fae.... Rank 2 Flame Burst Fae.... Rank 2 Corpse Explosion Fae.... Rank 2 Wood Burst Fae.... Rank 2 Water Storm Fae.... Rank 2 Waterstream Fae.... Rank 2 Conifer Fae.... Rank 2 Tide Fae.... Rank 2 Storm Flower Fae.... Rank 2 Life Essence Fae....
Rank 3 Bone Sword Fae.... Rank 3 Blood Devouring Fae.... Rank 3 Pure Fae.... Rank 3 White Flame Fae.... Rank 3 Vine Tree Fae.... Rank 3 Vine Flower Fae.... Rank 3 Winter Fae.... Rank 3 Burning Light Fae....
There were dozens of Fae that Arthur had collected off of the bodies of the dead Kovacs Clan members. He had stored the vast majority of them within Fae Boxes, giving them a little bit of food as well before sealing them and placing them within a Storage Fae.
These were all of Arthur's wealth, and could potentially be given out as rewards to the others if they did good. The carrot and the stick was something relatively simple, but it was quite effective in most situations.
Arthur glanced at the huge amount of Fae within the Clan Reserves, before laying his eyes on a select few specific Fae.
'Right now I need to become a Rank 3 Fae Master as soon as possible, but I also need to remember to increase the number of ghosts currently in my possession. Their strength, as proved in that last battle is quite good, especially if I have a wide selection of ghosts....'.
The ghosts that Arthur currently used were extremely useful against Fire Attribute attacks, or abilities that used fire type spiritual essence. That was why Arthur tried to evolve one of his ghosts into a Yin Watermeal Revenant. It was extremely useful at defusing Fire Attributed specialist Fae Masters....
Arthur glanced at a few Fae Boxes, occasionally taking a few, immediately opening them up and refining the Fae inside.
"Rank 3 Wood Essence Fae.... Rank 2 Emotion Gathering Fae.... Rank 2 Desire Gathering Fae.... Oh? Even a Rank 3 Thought Gathering Fae? Not too bad. There is a Rank 3 Spring Fae over here and a Rank 2 Summer Fae.... Oh. Only a Rank 1 Autumn Fae? I guess it'll have to do...".
There was also an extraordinarily large amount of Fae materials within the Clan Reserves as well. They were much easier to store than Fae, and the vast majority of materials were either Wood Attributed, Water Attributed or Ice Attributed as well. The proximity between the Kovacs Clan and the Falling Snow River made it quite apt that the amount of Ice Attributed materials would not be low.
Arthur scratched his chin.
"So.... for the Fire, Lava, Earth and Yang Attributes I need.... Yang Flowers.... Fire Flowing Source Water.... Ancient Lava Metal.... Flame Tinted Wood.... Flame Essence Seeds.... Solid Earth Essence and also some Lava Roots and a little bit of Inferno Stone Sand.... A little bit more Burning Sol Fruit Essence would be good as well....".
"On the other hand, the Water, Ice, Yin and Darkness Attributes would need..... Painted Yin Flowers.... Ice Essence Source Water.... Thousand Year Frozen Ice.... Darkness Yin Honey.... Shadow Yin Source Water.... Glacial Maple Seeds and Yin Maple Seeds would also be a good choice.... Ice Rat Bones and Water Sprite Blood Essence would also be a good catalyst....".
"Thirdly I'll need the Wood Attributes.... Life Attribute.... Plant Attribute and maybe just a little bit of the Death Attribute to balance it out. Wood Spectre Tree is definitely a must.... Rebirth Vines are also quite rare.... Radiant Leaf Flowers.... Crimson Rose Thorns.... Golden Essence Apples.... Fragrant Grass Vines... And for the time being I'll just add a couple Life Roots and an equal amount of Death Flowers....".
"For the final area I'll need Wind Attributed, Lightning Attributed, Storm Attributed and perhaps even a slight ounce of Spirit Attribute Fae materials.... Wind Storm Essence is pretty rare.... Lightning Guiding Tree.... Thunder Wind Flower.... Four Winged Storm Hawk Bones and Blood.... Gentle Breeze Grass.... Electric Thunder Eel Blood.... Thunder Essence Dirt.... Wind Essence Dirt.... And a little bit of Spirit Attracting Flowers....".
After a long deliberation, Arthur had selected some of the most rare and valuable Fae materials found within the Clan Reserves. The vast majority of them were just over a year old, kept within storage just in case that Clan needs someone valuable to trade or exchange with.
All of these Fae materials could be found within the Winter Rain Mountains, although the chances of them forming were extremely low. The only reason why there was so many different materials, was down to just two reasons.
The first being that the Kovacs Clan was a Clan that had existed for over a millennia. Their talents might not be the best, but the foundations weren't too bad. At the very least, they had the strongest foundations within the Winter Rain Mountains.
And secondly, in the past two years, the amount of these Fae materials had gone up significantly, obviously due to Arthur's presence.
Placing all of these Fae materials into four different Storage Fae, Arthur carried them all out, and headed towards the Monster corpse on the other side of the Village. Nyssa and a few of the others noticed Arthur leave the Clan Reserves, and the young first-tier talent turned towards Dagen and Henrik before nodding and heading down towards the Clan Reserves.
Nyssa naturally didn't care about anything other than Arthur, while Dagen was an orphan who didn't have much connection to the Kovacs Clan outside of this group of not even a dozen people.
Henrik on the other hand, still mourned the death of his Mother. With the help of the others, he had managed to bury all of their relatives. Milena, Eric and Helga all needed a little more time, while Iryna was still looking after the three babies.
Parvan was.... he said he was going for a walk, and hadn't yet come back.
He probably still needed a little bit more time to himself, Nyssa thought.
The beautiful young woman glanced at Henrik and Dagen, entering the Clan Reserves, their eyes widening at the sheer amount of Fae and Fae materials in front of them.
These three possessed the least amount of connections to the Kovacs Clan other than Arthur, and as a result were the first to see the importance of personal strength above all else. If they weren't so weak, then they might've been able to prevent Elder Stas from destroying their home....
Arthur didn't particular care what they thought, so long as they were loyal to him and him alone.
