Chapter 78: Supreme Blizzard (1)
Blake's new gear was striking for several reasons.
Starting from the top, he once again wore a peculiar helmet adorned with a carved demon mask inspired by Japanese folklore. While "Oni" can signify various concepts, Blake honed in on the mask's demonic qualities. Two elongated fangs curled around his lips—razor-sharp, slender, and tinted a bluish hue reminiscent of netherworld icicles. The mask's scaled texture heightened its ominous appearance, and the curved cracks near the eye sockets sharpened Blake's gaze. Centered on the forehead rose a mythical horn, hinting at a transformation few in the newbie lands could match.
He topped the helmet with a ponytail made of lynx fur, secured by steel bands—amateurish work, yet still threatening. Thanks to his Butcher title, he'd harvested the fur easily.
