"Yep, I was thinking about getting same neck as you have but 15 mana per second would help but not solve the issue. So, I delayed the solution until I find something that would cover the issue in its entirety. But enough about my stuff. Show me what you got."
"Let me do the upgrades and stats really quick."
After about a minute a big smile appeared on Karla's lips.
"Ok now is the time. Check my status."

"Let's skip the cooking and strength. You know what they do. So, let's get to the good part. Before level 10 it was just basic axe wielding skill, un-tiered. After I upgraded it to tier 1 it became Dragonslayer Axe arts."
////
Dragonslayer Axe arts (Tier 1) – Axe wielding style specializing in wide powerful swings with unmatched destructive force. In front of this art, it does not matter if its wall, bunch of small enemies or a dragon. You will chop everything that stands in front of you.
Effect of strength on your damage is doubled. (Normally strength adds 1% of physical damage with applicable weapons, with this style you receive 2% per point of strength for axes )
////
"That strength doubling was that bonus?"
"Yes!" She spoke visible happy.
"Nice upgrade, combines very well with Enrage."
"Now the enrage, I didn't receive the skill. But I will have 40% chance next time. I had just 20% this time. Look at it."
////
Enrage (Tier 3) – Once activated makes you into unstoppable juggernaut in battle.
Double your strength stat when active. Halves all damage received when active.
While active you will loose 10 mana every second.
Unshakeable - Also doubles your constitution.
////
"So, with enrage up you basically do 4x damage and receive effectively ¼ of damage." I asked.
"Yup!"
"We need to get you high base damage axe!"
"Yup!" She was basically smiling from ear to ear.
My petite berserker has become battle junkie. But I don't mind, when she is happy, I am happy. Just looking at her beaming like this made me smile.
"So, let's sort out a gear, I will check golden for something that helps us both. Red for weapon for each and solution to my mana if you don't mind. And two yellows for armor upgrades. That will leave us with three yellow for your sister. And I will also keep two blues for her. Since she might not have enough stats. I will dump rest of the blues to help this settlement. Is that ok with you?"
"We should give at least two yellows to Brook. She deserves them. We will farm yellows for sis later."
"OK than, yellows for Brook. I will open them for her later so she gets what she needs."
"OK."
"Ok let's start with golden chest."
I grabbed golden chest and opened it. I spent some time browsing stuff that could be found there and after about 10 minutes I spoke.
"I found storage ring, with that we could travel light and store everything required in it. Its space is 10-meter cube, according the description it's the smallest you can get but cube with 10 m size is decent."
"That sounds very good. We can fit there everything we need and more." Karla spoke.
Seeing her approval, I grabbed the ring.
"It does not matter which one of us will carry it, so do you want it or I will take it."
She looked at the ring. It was platinum ring with a stone that was swirling with white, black and silver colors.
"It is beautiful." Karla spoke looking at the ring.
I chuckled. "Here, you can manage it. Just drop a little blood on it and you should know exactly what to do."
She smiled and nodded. After that she prickled her thumb and dropped some blood on the ring. After that she closed her eyes for a moment and then nodded.
"Yes, I know how to use it."
"Good now let's check the three red ones. Let's pick up weapons first."
I opened the first chest and looked for a great-axe for Karla among the highest tiered items in this chest. It took just a second because there was just one great-axe at this tear. I checked the stats and it had plenty of base damage and plenty of strength on it. So, I pulled it out and handed it to Karla.
After that I opened the second chest and looked for my weapon. I found rapier on the highest tier and it looked perfect so I took it.
Last thing I needed was to fix my mana so I opened the last red chest and looked for some solution. I found one on the highest tier available in form of an amulet.
I pulled it out.
"Did you find something?"
I nodded. "We will need to get you one like this instead of the one you use. "
"Show me." She spoke.

Mana drake's pendant
Anytime a mana would be deducted from your mana pool reduce this amount by 10. If this reduces the amount to zero you will deal 10% more damage and receive 10% less damage for 5 seconds.
+5 to all stats
////
"Next red chest please get also one for me. It looks cool, we would have paired necks and it is very powerful. That buff will be up pretty much nonstop for both of us."
"Sure, next time we get a red chest you will get one of these. Now let me quickly grab some yellow armors and we should be done with this."
After a moment we both had upgraded our armor. This one had double the defense in both cases and instead of giving +5 to some stats like the ones before it was giving +10 to all. It had no special effects but raw stats and defense are fine. As for our new weapons.
