The dirge concludes with an intensified surge of dark energy, inflicting a final wave of damage on enemies while leaving allies inspired by the harmonious resolution. A haunting and powerful composition, it embodies the dual nature of Valkyrie's musical prowess.
'She's too powerful. How did this happen?' Rasoul pondered to himself. Despite investing valuable materials in her creation, examining Valkyrie's stats and abilities left him utterly astonished.
"Valkyrie, what kind of weapon do you desire?" Rasoul asked promptly. Armed with a substantial sum of Fire points from the Rowan and Sabrat massacre, he intended to outfit all his subordinates with epic-grade weapons for the time being.
"Soul Hunting Zither," she promptly replied.
'System, do you have it?' He inquired, turning to his trusty companion.
[Yes, but it's a legendary-grade Zither. It will cost you 100,000,000 Fire Points.]
He scratched his head briefly before giving the green light to the system to purchase the Zither. He then retrieved the magnificent instrument and handed it over to Valkyrie.
It exudes a mystical power, surrounded by an otherworldly aura. Fashioned from ebony wood, the zither's exterior is adorned with intricate silver inlays depicting ethereal scenes of souls in flight. The strings, crafted from threads of celestial brilliance, shimmer with a delicate, rainbow-like glow, evoking the appearance of woven starlight strands. Small, luminous crystals embellish the zither's frame, pulsating with an inner radiance and casting a soft glow that envelops the instrument.
Upon receiving the instrument, a new section appeared on her status screen.
