Valkaheim Blade – Typhon

The flames receded as Zhang Yun looked at Oldman Haha dumbfoundedly. He asked, "Um… You are done?"

"Hahahaha, I am done. I can guarantee that my craftsmanship has no problem whatsoever. Give it a try.

"How is it?"

"…"

Oldman Haha was right. It was not that difficult to make. It was because he did not even spend the full half an hour. He only spent 23 minutes and had completed the weapon.

Heh. In order to pursue realism, even the time he estimated was not accurate. He could do that?

Zhang Yun gave it no more thought and held the katana that Oldman Haha forged, and looked at its stats.

…

[Equipment Name: Valkaheim Blade - Typhon]

[Rarity: ***]

[Limit Break Number: +0 (Max +4)]

[Level: 1 (Max 10)]

[HP: 70, Attack: 80, Weapon Skill: Killing Slash (Deals physical damage equal to 1.5x Attack), Valkaheim's Flame (Increase the damage of the next fire attack by 20%) ]

[Ability: Anti-Archede (Increase damage by 30% against all Archede faction creatures, ignore target's certain natural abilities), [Fire] Flame Potential - Attack +4% (Triggers when the equipped character has fire elemental skills. Every time a fire elemental skill is used, it will increase Attack by 4%. Stacks a maximum of 3 times. Automatically removed after leaving combat.)]

[Equipment Requirement: 1. Classes that use a katana. 2. Class Level 10 and above.)

[Summary: Valkaheim looks out over a volcano. The severe heat it produces causes weapons to expire quickly. In seeking a method to withstand the temperature, the blacksmiths accidentally forged a weapon that houses heat within itself.]

…

The Valkaheim Blade was Brother Mikoto's hero-specific weapon when the game had just begun. Its automatic fire elemental buff and attack buff were built for Brother Mikoto.

If it was not for its maximum of 4 limit breaks, its level could reach as high as level 50. Plus, high-level weapons could not even compare with its attributes as the differences were too much. It would definitely be a superweapon that could be used until the end of the game.

Even now, it was still the most suitable weapon for Brother Mikoto.

After adding the Disfavored Void Fragments, the Valkaheim Blade's stats had slightly changed, and it had the suffix "Typhon" as well as an Anti-Archede effect.

"Hm, doesn't that mean that the official Bane Weapon's name is Typhon?

"Compared to the original Valkaheim Blade, its attributes weren't lowered, that meant it wasn't corrected."

That also meant that an official Bane Weapon was quite strong. Its own attributes and skill effects had surpassed Valkaheim Blade. Perhaps, it was better to say that it had far surpassed the Valkaheim Blade.

Interesting.

He wondered if he could get the schematic for this.

Then, all he needed to do was to get a genuine Typhon weapon. He could then pursue Archede all over the world and earn Diamonds from the quest...

"Huh!

"That might actually work?"

'Then, system, can you please tell me where I could farm for schematics?

'That is why it is too bad that loot no longer drops…'

After that thought, Zhang Yun could only sigh and forget about the weird thoughts in his head. He shifted his attention back to reality.

He looked at Oldman Haha's craft station and noticed that there were some things left on it. It was 20 Disfavored Void Fragments that he did not finish using.

"Ten of them could create a Bane Weapon? In that case, I can forge two more and increase its limit break to +2 so that its maximum level can be increased to 30."

He held the fragments, and gave them to Soran, "Oldman Haha, start working and make two more of the same weapons. Then, use all of them to break the limits of this weapon. Be careful not to over level it. Brother Mikoto had only reached level 27. You can increase its level to 27… No, increase it to level 28. I will let him farm some more magical beasts to increase his level to 28, just in time to equip this weapon."

Oldman Haha beat his chest and said, "Hahahaha, no problem. Give me some time, and I can forge them."

With that, Oldman Haha began to work and took up his forging hammer. He kept on hammering away and he quickly completed the remaining two weapons.

He then fed the two weapons to the first Valkaheim Blade. Using the Enhancing Rocks that Zhang Yun took out, he immediately increased its level to 28.

In order to save some time and effort, Zhang Yun also took out extra Enhancing Rocks and had Oldman Haha give the Jack O'Lantern Spear a few hammerings, increasing its level to 24. It was just nice for a level 24 Zhang Yun.

Besides that, Zhang Yun had also taken out several low-level pieces of equipment. Then he had Oldman Haha increase their levels to his and Brother Mikoto's levels and equipped them.

The three more important pieces of equipment were…

[Equipment Name: Boots of Evasion]

[Rarity: ***]

[Limit Break Number: +4 (Max +4)]

[Level: 28 (Max 50)]

[HP: 500, Attack: 100, Movement Speed: 20%; No Equipped Skill]

[Ability: Evasion (Increase 30% Evasion Rate)]

[Equipment Requirement: 1. Humanoid, 2. Level 20 (Requirement at level 1)]

...

[Equipment Name: Critical Gloves]

[Rarity: **]

[Limit Break Number: +2 (Max +2)]

[Level: 28 (Max 30)]

[Attack: 90, Movement Speed: 20%; No Equipped Skill]

[Ability: Critical (Increase 10% Critical Rate)]

...

[Equipment Name: Golden Silk Undershirt]

[Rarity: ***]

[Limit Break Number: +4 (Max +4)]

[Level: 28 (Max 50)]

[HP: 1450, Defense: 270; No Equipped Skill]

[Ability: Padding (When being hit by a physical attack, there is a 5% chance of reducing damage by 30%)]

[Equipment Requirement: 1. Level 25 (Requirement at level 1), 2. Humanoid]

[Summary: A skin-tight armor. It has great defensive capabilities, but it is not hard at all. If you are afraid of dying, you can even wear it like an undergarment and go to bed, to defend against enemies that come at night.]

…

After wearing all the upgraded equipment, Zhang Yun and Brother Mikoto's stats had instantly greatly increased. On the other hand, Zhang Yun had lost a few hundred Enhancing Rocks that he had saved.

But it was worth it!

Very worth it!

Originally, Zhang Yun did not know that he would encounter such a huge dungeon and quest. He had even encountered a boss on the level of the Follower of Archede. He was not prepared. That was why he took out all these items for an upgrade and to equip them.

If he had made such preparations, even if Brother Mikoto could not defeat the Follower of Archede with his buffed stats, he could still fight it and buy him some time.

But now, it was still not too late since there were two more Followers of Archede and a big boss, Archede. If Zhang Yun went into the depths of the magical beast horde, perhaps he could encounter them…

Now that Brother Mikoto had the Valkaheim Blade with the Anti-Archede property and his buffed stats thanks to the upgraded equipment, even if he encountered a Follower of Archede again he need not be afraid as he could fight it to a stalemate.

If it included Zhang Yun and his followers, then they could definitely defeat a Follower of Archede.

Correct. There was no need to consume any pills. They could take it on directly and smash it to smithereens…
