Deadly Wolf Fang VI The materials for this bracer were taken from the corpse of a mutated Wolf Chimera Its fur and fangs were shaped to give the user a defensive equipment that can also lash out with a powerful attack Every four strikes with the left hand will be boosted with an additional 100 Str and Agi Additional damage will be dealt with the strike each time the effect is triggered during the battle
Armament of the Wolf God VII A defensive treasure that not only can protect the user but also all subordinates in a small area End +100 Resistance +100 User can activate the bracer once a day doubling the benefits of their own aspect and applying the base aspect to all allies within five meters
Budding Legend of the Eastern Wolf VII (Est) Within the equipment sleeps a small amount of significance that is extremely close to gaining sentience As time passed more significance gathers within the bracer Powerful exploits will increase the speed of this process When the image of the Eastern Wolf is awakened it will provide a small boost to the userÆs image That boost will increase if the image is related to the wolf
Ozark trembled and read the description of the item one more time The first thing that grabbed his attention was the (Est) next to the Level and the final aspect which he had never seen before in his three hundred years within the Nexus The System NEVER needed to estimate something Then that small mystery was blasted away by the details of the third aspect which contained a small independent image
ThatÆs Ozark gasped then just as quickly glanced back and forth to make sure no one noticed him Luckily the surly figures around the Exchange seemed to care more about how much time he was taking than the source of distraction
ThatÆs impossible An image cannot be instilled in any form but an intelligent body thatÆs the truth of the Nexus Constructs like Armaments even use Fates as their base material yet they can only achieve a bare imitation of the real thing But perhaps the special result due to the environment can subvert this limit Is such a thing truly possible
Ozark focused on the screen and made a pained expression But he decisively clicked the Buy Now option The price was rather steep but if the equipment did what the third aspect stated it was perhaps only a hundredth of its true value Immediately the equipment was transferred to an interspatial storage device with his other purchases which was dispensed from the terminal
He took one last glance at the makerÆs info before departing Samuel Hoss Expira Then Ozark left the Exchange while experiencing a queer squeeze between excitement and fear The result was a constant sweat and an intermittent tremble that drew a few sneers from the waiting individuals
On his way back to his base he reflexively checked to see if anyone was following him but he was just a minor character serving a little known Pinnacle Seeker He safely made it to the teleporter formation and paid for his fare while glancing over his shoulder Then he chided himself perhaps due to how pursued he looked someone would take it upon themselves to track his movements
Just to be safe he took several terminals to confuse any surveillance he didnÆt detect And also to settle his nerves Only then did he make it back to his personal chambers and remove the equipment with clammy hands
There is equipment that grows and equipment with intelligence Ozark whispered as he lovingly caressed the wolf furr of the bracer But both combined With significance so that an image can be instilled
Just touching the equipment made Ozark salivate He immediately felt the flickering presence of a genuine image inside of the equipment which reached out tentatively to empower him Immediately Ozark dropped the equipment and the connection was cut He hyperventilated looking down at the bracer with naked greed in his eyes
But he shook his head and shook himself No Taking it for myself if its found out I will be killed Better to pass it to Pinnacle Seeker Dreadful Boulder and earn merit And likely Dreadful Boulder wonÆt keep it for himself he will pass it on to the leader of our Pinnacle Seeker Alliance It will end up in the hands of Moonlight Blade a genuine Canine And if he grows more powerful
Ozark quickly dismissed his fantasies and stored away the bracer He walked confidently to meet with his master And in the back of his mind he wondered something else was this piece of equipment a fluke or could this newfound talent produce more such weapons

Randidly grimaced as the force spike slammed onto his right shoulder shredding flesh and crunching bone The crushing and sudden weight was enough to blast through his defenses He stumbled to the side in the aftermath with a mind clouded with pain barely cognizant of the three follow up force spikes that punched through his maelstrom of natural energy However just as quickly as Randidly fell he straightened and his body began to recover
The sound of his flesh growing over jagged bone was a noise that was becoming all too familiar
Even if the natural force could pulverize his body its deadliness was only slightly higher than the wind blades in the Third Step It wouldnÆt overwhelm him in a single strike And the force spikes followed the lightning never strikes the same place twiceÆ adage which meant he could endure it
Besides I think IÆm starting to understand the pattern Randidly coughed out some phlegm and then continued the slogging journey up the slope Around him thousands of shades continued to mimick his energy storm to varying degrees of success The surrounding area was a riotous circs of overlapping limbs and abrupt death
So long as they could keep the constant barrage of wind blades at bay they simply needed to focus on dodging force spikes But what they lacked in the ability to utilize his Skills they made up for with their ability to die and reform The next time they stepped forward they altered their path to avoid their previous end
The end result was an enormous ghastly convoy that pushed through the mist with Randidly at the center The strange gathering relied on him as the basis for their continued intelligence through iterations but they paid him back in direct visual experience with the Grand Pattern Time continued to flow weirdly his Absolute Timing recording only seconds for what felt like days of unending slog up the mountain But Randidly didnÆt mind his entire attention was consumed by the process
And he steadily grew The beginnings of exhaust curled behind his eyes but mental weariness was practically an old friend at this point
Congratulations Your Skill Aureate Arteries of Yggdrasil has grown to Level 461
Congratulations Your Skill Philosophy within the Boundless Deluge has grown to Level 434
Thin golden flows continued to bleed off from the massive amount of potent energy slumbering beneath the mountain and merge into RandidlyÆs bare feet In response the maelstrom of natural force grew stronger and stronger stretching out to cover an even larger area with its potent new fuel Steam continued to waft off of him as he served as the conduit to so much force He couldnÆt be sure but Randidly felt like his storm stretched twenty meters in every direction housing more and more shades that he picked up along the way

With such a massive and complex storm of energy currents Randidly worked tirelessly to add his insights into the Grand Pattern to the actual functioning to make the process more automated Rather than grinding away at wind blades or triple wind blades and then stealing the remnant energy he began to experiment with exterior bulges of force that would snap out around the wind blades and gobble them up directly Taking the entire deadly edge and incorporating the entirety of the force helped Randidly
