These three items, although they looked like accessories worn for vanity's sake, were anything but. They were just as functional as they were beautiful.
All three of these items were defensive treasures at the upper levels of Chaos Rank, meaning that they even had the potential to withstand blows from 4th class existences.
Well, their ability was largely subjective. There was a caveat to Chaos rank artifacts, a sort of drawback that made it so possessing them wouldn't make a lower-class existence immune to the attacks of their greaters.
In their base form, these artifacts had the ability to block a single attack from a 4th class existence, however, that was under the condition that the 4th class wasn't using all the strength in their body.
Still, a relatively powerful blow could be blocked completely, essentially giving the user a second life, or at least a chance to escape.
