Chapter 30_ Great Magician (4)

Items had a relatively high probability of being enhanced to +5. Therefore, there wasn't a big difference in price between +0 items and +5 items. The problem was enhancing it to +6.

The probability of enhancement was greatly reduced from +6 onwards, so ordinary users rarely had a +6 item. From +6 onwards, the stats had a basic increase of +7% instead of +5%, and the item's appearance improved, making it worth the risk and challenge.

There was an almost 100% success rate up to +5. But from +6 onwards, the probability of enhancement failure was very high and if it failed, the enhancement value would fall. In particular, when using a general enhancement stones, failing an enhancement could lead it to fall by three or more values. That's why it wasn't easy to see +7 or higher items. People with money used blessed weapon enhancement stones to reduce the failure penalty as much as possible, but an average person couldn't.

[A weapon enhancement stone (1) has been consumed.]

[The +5 Blight of Misery has been strengthened.]

"Oh…! Ohh!!"

The moment the sword became +6, a bluish red aura started circulating around it. Lexus was so thrilled.

"Beautiful…"

+5 enhancement couldn't be seen with the naked eye, so there was no obvious difference between +0 and +5 items. There were no features. But after reaching +6, the Blight of Misery had a change in appearance. The color that manifested was representative of the item's attribute.

[You have failed to enhance the +6 Blight of Misery. The enhancement level has fallen by 1 to the +5 Blight of Misery.]

"Ow..."

Obviously, the sword was a unique-rated item. Lexus knew that the higher the rating, the lower the probability of enhancement, but seeing a failure was still a sad thing. But still, Lexus wasn't disheartened by just one failure. He knew that he had better luck than anyone else with his current good luck stats.

[The blessed weapon enhancement stone (1) has been consumed.]

[The +5 Blight of Misery has been strengthened.]

[The blessed weapon enhancement stone (1) has been consumed.]

[The +6 Blight of Misery has been strengthened.]

[....]

[...]

[The +8 Blight of Misery has been strengthened.]

[The item enhancement value is +8, so the option effect is slightly increased.]

Lexus succeeded successively with the blessed enhancement stones. The bluish red aura of the Blight of Misery became stronger.

[You have used the blessed weapon enhancement stone on the +8 Blight of Misery.]

Ttiring!

[You have succeeded in enhancing it by +2.]

[The +10 Blight of Misery has been completed.]

[Congratulations! You are the first to gain the ultimate weapon!!]

[Blight of Misery has grown from unique to legendary rating!]

[The information about Blight of Misery has been updated.]

[The title 'Uncommonly Lucky Person' has been acquired!]

[The special stat 'good luck' is opened!]

[The special stat 'good luck' has already been opened.]

[Good Luck stat will increase by 50 as a substitute reward.]

Condition of Use: Level 250 or higher. More than 1,800 strength. More than 900 agility. Advanced Sword Mastery. ]

The normal attack power of a unique longsword and not a greatsword, was over 400. Indeed, Lexus had the Legendary Blacksmith's Craftsmanship Skill and the Legendary Blacksmith's Breath. They raised the item stats by 12% and 7% respectively.

Holding it carefully, the sword gleamed like a sun rose to the sky and a ray of light hit the blade. The blade shone as its showing its magnificence as he liftef the sword.

His creations might only have unique ratings, but the performance were equivalent to a level 320 normal or rare items. Not to mention that because of his good luck and fortune, Lexus succeeded in the enhancement and got a top-class weapon.

•~×~•

In a blink of an eye, Lexus appeared near Patrian after obtaining what he needed to gain.

Teleport.

The skill of a magician to leap through the space to another location, disappearing in a flash of light. Teleportation allows the user to travel to a specific location they know the coordinates of; however, there are some disadvantages. This skill requires a magician to cast it for three seconds before teleporting to their desired destination.

The Braham style Teleport (Enhanced) which Lexus had used, unlike normal Teleport, consumes dozens of times more mana in exchange for having no cooldown and cast delay, which make it useful in close combat and successive uses.

"It really consumes a great amount of mana..."

Lexus murmured while looking at his mana gauge that lost 10,000 mana in just one cast of Teleport (Enhanced). Currently, Lexus had an amount of 22,000 mana which magicians of the same level as him couldn't even dream about it and yet in just one skill, 12,000 mana was left in him.

As the mana consumption was great, Lexus had to pay attention to the consumption next time. In every point of intelligence, it provides him mana regeneration by 0.05%. With his current intelligence stats, Lexus would have a mana regeneration of 2.75% per second but with the effect of Mumud's Knowledge that increases mana regeneration by 30%, Lexus now regenerates 3.575% of his maximum mana per second.

Though the amount was still negligible Lexus will continuously gain 786.5 mana in every second to his mana pool— that is if his intelligence stats will no longer increase. So to benefit more from this, the larger his mana pool, the higher mana regeneration rates go a long way to help him use more of his abilities frequently.

「 Bah! If it was me in my prime, I would had enough mana to teleport all day without having to pay attention to consumption. 」

He then heard Braham's boasting voice in his mind. Lexus remained silent as he saw many people in view because somehow, he didn't want to be labeled as crazy for talking to himself. With the link of Great Sage, Braham and Madra could communicate to each other so they didn't really mind Lexus' silence.

Moreover, the two of them were even able to communicate with Great Sage itself. Then, what would happen if two extraordinary legends happened to establish a connection with Great Sage? Even without Lexus saying anything, the two legends of the past had done something out of interest that will greatly benefit Lexus.

[All vampire related skills and all compatibly related skills, has been upgraded with Braham's soul fragment, Madra's ego, and unique skill 『Great Sage』 intervention and collaboration.]

[The skill, 'Bloody Berserker' has been acquired.]

[The skill, 'Blood Survivor' has been acquired.]

[The skill, 'Eternal Rest' has been acquired.]

Previously, there were many vampire skills that Lexus couldn't activate because they required one to be a member of the vampire species to cast them. With the help of the two legends and the broken skill, Lexus had now gained a new trump card.

Lexus was greatly surprised with the sudden appearance of the system messages along with the newly acquired skills. Reading the skill descriptions, Lexus became excited. The first two unique skills were incredibly familiar to Lexus. They were really similar to the unique skills of an expendable side character in an anime about an overpowered slime. However, that wasn't the focus.

It was the third skill.

"Isn't this kind of similar to Piaro's Fated to Perish?"

Fated to Perish, as the name suggests, it is a fearsome instantaneous death skill which was developed by Piaro before he became a Legend. Piaro is eligible to be a Legend just from this technique alone.

However, Lexus had the superior version that was developed by the two legends – those who were the greatest in their fields and who collaborated with Great Sage. Lexus was greatly satisfied with the part of the description that said the target would be completely annihilated without the slightest resistance.

Fated to Perish is a close to an absolute invincible skill that has a 100% chance of instantly killing the target, though, targets classified as bosses cannot be killed instantly, but a great amount of critical damage will be dealt. The skill Eternal Rest does not have the disadvantage of Fated to Perish.

"How was this even possible?"

Lexus expressed his doubt as how could a super broken skill like this to exist. But then, the other part of the description weren't something he was exactly thrilled. It was close to a consumable skill because he can only use the skill twice a year or once in every 6 months.

Next, he did not like the cost of his 100% health and mana to use the skill. With the 100% cost of health alone, he would be barely alive if luckily he had his immortality passive but if he did not, it was like saying good bye to his life.

"If there will be negative, of course there will also be positive effects."

Although it had a significant disadvantage in that it would likely ignore his Perfect Status Resistance, the benefits of having the skill were also great. The biggest benefit was that he now had a way to take down any foe he encountered.

As Lexus was starting to grin, another message appeared in front of him.

[Hidden conditions has been met. Now attempting to evolve unique skill 『Great Sage』.]

[The skill, 'Intellectual King Solomon' has been obtained.]

(#A/N: Archangel Raphael already existed in Asgard as the strongest angel so I doubt it would be wise to go with Raphael. Though the functions would be similar anyways.)

Upon seeing the sudden message, Lexus was beyond speechless. He had always waited for this moment, but due to being unprepared, he wasn't mentally prepared for it. As he began to lose his mind from sheer excitement, Lexus regained his composure when he heard a player's voice.

"Are you sure that's the infamous White Reaper?"

Turning around, he saw several players starting to surround him. As he teleported in an open plane near Patrian, his appearance caught the attention of several players that was hunting monsters to level up.
