Chapter 118: Leaving School.
[It's simple. The Call ability uses the same principles as warp arrays and blink, they need a beacon. In this case, the owner who had bound himself with the armor acts as the beacon.
So when you call the armor, it appears and since it has the auto fit function, the position you are in doesn't matter.] The system explained.
"That explains a lot," Blake said as he called the Rampant armor once again.
[I give up…]
"Just one more."
[It's not as if I have a say in this.] The system rolled its 'eyes'.
"Show me it's stats..." Blake said to the system.
[Name: Rampant armor.
Grade: High quality.
Item: Armor.
Type: Hybrid armor
Passive Ability(s): Shock absorption, Mana harness.
Active Ability(s): None.
SpecialAbility(s): Siphon.]
[Interesting.] The system said in a pondering tone.
"First, I know only heard about hybrid armors but don't know much about it, can you tell me more about it and why haven't I heard about special abilities?" Blake asked in a confused tone.
[Hybrid armors are combinations of light and heavy armor making it the best kind of armor, theoretically, but practically they are a hot mess.
Something heavy and had a very high defense could in no way be fast, so the two attributes had to be balanced which turned the idea of making a perfect armor into making a nuisance of an armor]
"Then how did this get produced, because it doesn't feel that heavy, and its defense is great?" Blake asked.
[Not too sure, but from my deductions, I can say that the metal used plays an important role, but most importantly the method used in forging the armor.] The system replied.
"I thought you were a saint forgemaster? So, how can you not know about what someone below the saint level knows?" Blake asked with raised brows.
[The main consciousness was the saint level forgemaster, not me. I might know a few things about forgemastering but not everything.] The system snorted.
[About the special ability. If a forgemaster is good enough, when they are forging weapons, armors, etc they would be able to give the item a power unique to the item.] The system explained.
"What is the special ability description?"
[Siphon: The Rampant armor can convert the owner's mana to the energy that could be used to strengthen its barrier.]
"Damn! The more I know about this armor the more I think the maker was a retard to have even put it up for sale in the first place." Disbelief was written all over Blake's face.
Armors generated energy barriers that protected every inch of the owner's body from external attacks, but the strength of the barrier generated was dependent on the energy source used as its core.
The cores of armors and weapons were usually energy sources that could recharge naturally over time. The owner couldn't use his/her mana to recharge which meant that once the barrier had taken a lot of damage the barrier will shutdown till the core had recharged.
The core of an armor didn't decide the type of armor it was, but its functions. In light armors, the function of the core was to enhance the user's speed while sacrificing a whole lot of barrier strength and the heavy armors were vice versa.
But in Blake's case, the speed of the Rampant armor was way better than that of heavy armors, but not so far from that of light armors. As for its defenses, when coupled with the siphon ability that converts energy to barrier, it could be as good if not better than most heavy armors as long as Blake continuously poured in mana.
"Let's test out its shock-absorbing capabilities." Blake shot out a fireball on the ground before increasing its intensity then he launched multiple flame bursts at himself.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
After everything had landed on him and the noise was gone, Blake peeped with one eye to check if his limbs were still intact.
"Phew…" Blake let out a sigh of relief.
[What were you thinking? Even for a test that is too dangerous.] The system was shocked by Blake's suicidal tendencies.
"Look at it from my view, I tested both its shock absorption and the amount of damage its default barrier can handle..." Blake said while pointing out that he hadn't even moved out of the spot he was in.
After Blake had checked every single little thing about his toy he decided to practice blink and space freeze for sometime before he called it a day.
(AN: If you guys remember, I asked for a better name for the advanced version of blink, and Thanks to jordin96, I decided to go with voidshift.)
At this point, Blake was able to comfortably tear open a hole in space and make a safe pathway in the void that leads to the location of the void daggers. Currently, he could only cast blink thrice but if he did he wouldn't have enough Mana to even cast a simple fireball.
So he decided to cast at most 2 and only in the life-threatening situation would he cast blink for the third time.
As for his space freeze, Blake was able to smooth cast multiple space freeze without his will shattering. To even show how far he had gone, Blake always sat on a freezes space for the entire time he cultivated.
…
After the next day, the trio met at the canteen for breakfast before they all proceeded to the school gate as the journey that would last for 3 weeks was about to begin.
End of Volume One
