Chapter 1638 Incredible Shield!
-----
The shield's specs were ridiculous. The Stats it had were all maxed to SSS+++ Rank! I don't think you can go higher unless your breakthrough the "wall" of Rank 10. It seems even equipment I make is limited with this wall, and also the reason its powers are sealed might be lack of Primordial Energy.
But this Primordial Energy… What in the world is that? Is it something Venerables can wield? Or only the most ancient of gods, the ones from the very beginning of Yggdrasil, such as Yggdrasil herself, Tiamat, Ymir, and the Aesir?
I believe the Venerables were still trying to obtain it. Perhaps the whole point of the Ascendancy Laws is not to just get stronger and comprehend an Element of the World even further, but also to refine their Divinities, Divine Abilities, and Divine Power into Primordial Energy.
But that's for later, I don't want to bother thinking about this yet.
Nonetheless, the shield itself is insane.
It has way too many Abilities despite only having one! The single ability it has possesses like three effects or four effects.
-----
[Tiamat's Divine Scale Protection]: When equipped, the shield will deploy an Armored Aura of Pseudo Primordial Energies, unleashing the Elements of Primordial Sea, Time, Origin Flames, Eternal Frost, Heavenly Winds, System and Technomancy, enhancing All Defenses by +1000%, and Decreasing All Damage Taken by -50%. This Armored Aura also protects the Soul, but with only half of its original effects. -----
The first effect is the basic Armored Aura that protects the body amazingly! And it is composed of all the Elements we poured into the Scale.
A one thousand percent boost to All Defenses is no laughing matter, especially because this counts the Soul as well! So even for someone like me who has an Immortal Body, it is very beneficial.
-----
This Armored Aura will not only cover the wielder's entire body and soul, but will also enchant any equipment they're wearing, adding the powers of these Divine Elements combined with Draconic Energies, enhancing the Equipment and Weapon's Defensive Power, Attack Power, Attack Speed, and Durability by +500%. -----
The second effect is the ability to use this Armored Aura to wrap it around already equipped armor, accessories, and weapons to enhance their Stats even further, and enchant them with the seven elements, insane.
I wonder if I can further enchant Aegir's own powers with this? After all she's also a "piece of equipment" so it should totally work and make her even stronger as a result.
And that's without considering all my Divine Weapons, who will be amazingly and greatly benefited too.
-----
When attacking with a weapon enchanted with the Armored Aura, there's a 10% chance for {Seven Colored Tiamat's Claws} to be triggered, dealing damage based on 500% of the wielder's Magic and Strength Stats and ignoring the foe's Defenses by 30%. -----
The third effect was this offensive power, a special ability imbued into any weapon where I placed the Armored Aura into. It granted a small chance to unleash an extremely strong attack in the shape of Tiamat's gigantic claws, imbued with all seven elements.
Not bad at all, and it's based on 500% of my Strength and Magic combined together, so its bound to deal incredible damage.
10% is low, but if I attack enough times, it is bound to be triggered a few times.
-----
Once the shield takes enough Damage, it is possible to unleash a counterattack through the {Seven Colored Tiamat's Breath}, which will release beams of Rainbow Flames combining all Seven Elements together and deal 2000% Physical, Soul, and Magical Damage on any foe they hit, ignoring 80% of their Defenses. Cooldown: 30 Minutes. -----
And lastly, the fourth effect!
It seems to be the same ability the scales had inherently, the power to reflect damage as powerful beams of rainbow color that could almost kill us all.
It was incredibly strong, and could ignore almost all defenses, but it had a long cooldown of 30 minutes. In battels, 30 is a lot of time, so I don't think I can use this ability sparingly.
I need to prepare where to use it before, or I might regret using it before it would become truly useful after all!
And that's it.
It has four Effects at the end, in a single Ability.
Just thinking about what else it could unlock made me slightly euphoric.
And once I equipped it into my soul, I never felt so protected. My soul was now holding a gigantic, primordial shield.
I felt really confident on fighting Pandemonium now.
But at the same time, I can't let confidence make me act like a fool either… I have to calm down and think things straight and pragmatically.
Though, the reactions of my friends didn't let me calm down.
"Wow this shield is fucking crazy!" Surtr screamed. "Uwah! It equipped itself into my Soul?! It's a Soul gear! Wait, it unequipped one of my things automatically?!"
"I-It did the same with me." Emerald gasped. "Wow, just by looking at it, it's strong! And it can float at will as well, without using magic or energies. I can control it with the mind? How fun!"
"It seems to have merged your attributes into it!" Rakasha said. "It possess Heavenly Winds, and Origin Flames! And Primordial Sea and Time elements too, from Lady Aegir!"
"Heh! Naturally! It has to have my element if I helped refining a scale from Aunt Tiamat." Giggle Aegir. "Hello Drake, long time no see!"
"Indeed, you've been gone for a while." I laughed. "Where have you been?"
"Cultivating my Primordial Energies and further refining them within my Orb Core." She responded. "I think I can release an output of at least 10% my former strength… I don't know if it'll be enough, but it better be."
"You've helped a lot already, thanks for helping us out! We almost thought we wouldn't make it." I laughed. "Do you want a shield too?"
"What are you talking about? I am already a Ring! A Ring won't equip a shield, fool." She laughed. "You're so funny, talking nonsense sometimes! Ohohohoh!"
And there she goes again. Well, I can't say I missed her presence, but she is indeed an useful ally to have around…
