Chapter 255: Go Up Clarent (1)
After almost an hour of gacha time, James had managed to win some pretty good stuff. He pressed the ten-turn button exactly 18 times and managed to earn three Legendary-Grade, one Unique-Grade and one Unusual-Grade equipment.
[Bow of the Endless (Legendary++)
It is said that the maker of this bow obtained an extract from the cosmic goddesses. The strings of the bow are made from the precious webs of ancient spiders. It is safe to say that the only being who can fully damage this bow is the creator himself.
When the bow is equipped, the user will experience a 20% increase in strength.
When equipped, the user will gain 100% vision.
When equipped, the user will gain a 50% increase in agility.
When armed, the user's hearing will increase by 250 per cent.
Equipping the bow will grant the user the ability to 'hyper-shoot'].
The first item was a bow, it was actually one of the things James wanted to have, after all, he had recently acquired a skill called 'Beginner Level Moon Archery' and needed a bow to improve on it.
The bow looked like it was made of stars. It had a constantly moving picture as if a galaxy was loaded on the bow. The strings were white, almost transparent.
When James put the bow in his inventory, he moved on to the next item:
[Staff of the Unknown(Legendary++++)
One of the four supreme wands that supreme wizards dream of acquiring. There may be hundreds of them hidden in the tower, but only two have ever been found. A priceless weapon in every sense of the word.
When the user casts spells with this stuff, the magic damage will increase by 350%.
When the staff is equipped, the user's magic stat will increase by 1000.
When the staff is equipped, the user's mana loss will decrease by 50%].
James was going to use this wand especially, he never thought of selling it. After all, the words 'wand equipped' were within the properties of this weapon. This meant that James didn't even need to use the staff, he could keep it on his body with the help of an item and still receive the passive effects.
Indeed, the staff was a priceless weapon, as it was written in the description.
Placing the staff at the top of his inventory, right where the holy sword Clarent and Selene's Throwing Knife were, he glanced at the last three remaining items:
[Weapon Evolution Stone(Legendary+++++)
----]
When James picked up the stone called the weapon evolution stone and looked at its properties, he did not see anything and looked around in a very confused way.
"Emma, are you playing a joke on me or something?" James suddenly asked.
When he received the answer [No, sir.], he prepared to put the stone in his inventory and at that very moment he saw a message from someone he never expected to see:
[You must engrave this stone into the holy sword Clarent. Change Clarent, make the holy sword yours, turn it into your imagination.]
James stood where he was for a few seconds and then shouted in surprise, "Holy fucking shit?! King Arthur?" he shouted.
Ariel woke up with great anxiety after this shout and looked at James.
"WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" Ariel suddenly shouted.
"I just got a message from King Arthur," James said in disbelief as he looked at Ariel.
As if refusing to believe what he was hearing, Ariel put his ear close to James and asked, "What did you say?"
When James repeated himself, Ariel stared at James with her eyes wide open.
"Aaah...what did he say? I mean, the king, what did he say?" Ariel asked, puzzled.
"He said to apply the stone I just won to the holy sword Clarent," James replied, and with that, a quest window opened in front of him:
[Make It Yours(Godly+++++)
Anyone can possess this stone, but they will never encounter a sword perfect enough to wield it. Your task is to use this stone on the holy sword Clarent and finally create a sword worthy of you. The sword has a soul, let the soul itself serve you fully.
Swords are the third limb of swordsmiths. The perfect robe to cut down enemies and the most valued companion.
Transform the Holy Sword Clarent.
Mission Reward Godly-Grade Spirit Sword
Mission Punishment: Destruction of the Holy Sword Clarent].
When James had finished reading the mission window that had suddenly appeared in front of him, he squinted his eyes and could not understand how he was supposed to do such a mission.
"Is King Arthur the one who gave me this mission?" James suddenly asked.
[Yes, sir, King Arthur gave you this mission by exhausting his spiritual energy,] was the reply, and he realised that there was nothing more he could do.
He did not want the holy sword Clarent, this comrade sword that had been with him from the beginning, to be destroyed.
When he opened his inventory and took out the holy sword, James uttered these words:
"My precious sword Clarent, you are a replica, but finally, the chance has come, if you want, you can turn into a perfect being, you have been my companion since the beginning of this path."
As he uttered these words, the holy sword Clarent started to tremble, it was as if that self, that spirit inside the sword was getting excited.
James smiled and then took the Weapon Evolution Stone in his hand and brought it closer to the holy sword Clarent, just then another window opened in front of him:
[Do you want to use the Weapon Evolution Stone for Clarent (Replica-Legendary)?
YES/NO]
James smiled as he looked at the two options and said with great hope, "I hope it works, we will go to the top floor of the tower together, my precious sword."
At that moment, he pressed 'yes' and the room began to shine with an incredibly bright light.
What would happen was up to Clarent himself, who was a spirit from that moment on.
