BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1105: Incredible Armors
"Wait, what are you…?!" Ambil gasped.
"Planta, is that…?!" Mark muttered in disbelief.
FLAAASH!
And as a result, the armor as a whole underwent some changes too! Their different designs aligned to a single design, while also keeping all their special effects, and unifying their power to create a strong Set Effect.
The entire armor set overflowed with a powerful Aura, and remained magical bound together, making it easy to carry around as a single, big piece of metal instead of several pieces.
The armor set gained gold, white, and red colors, with draconic appearance, such as horns, tiny wings decorating the shoulders, and dragon heads as well.
It looked utterly majestic for something only made using the given materials.
"This is incredible," said Ambil. "Planta, you have once more surprised your master… Hahah!"
"Well, isn\'t that the purpose of a disciple?" Planta giggled. "Mark, are you ok?"
Mark was staring at the armor in disbelief and awe, without saying a word at all. Planta got slightly worried, asking him if he was okay or something.
"Y-Yeah I\'m fine… I am just… Just shocked," he said. "This is just amazing, well done! Um, is it possible to keep this armor for myself? I know my body itself is hard as steel, but I still wear armor to enhance my stats. This magic armor set, it is so compatible with my body and my aura that I could even temporarily merge with it, I think…"
"Huh, is that so…?" Planta wondered, rubbing her chin.
"Hm, well, you would have to pay for it though! I don\'t give free stuff," said Ambil.
Mark got slightly nervous, Planta and Ambil had become quite like one another. While the disciple inherited her master\'s slightly harsh personality when it came to equipment, Ambil had become gentler and nicer, more talkative.
This created a dynamic where both would sometimes act very similar, like right now. Mark could barely hold into the pressure the two were giving him while squinting their eyes.
"O-Of course I\'ll pay!" he said desperately. "I wasn\'t going to ask for it for free…"
"Hmph, then sure!" laughed Ambil.
"I wasn\'t considering asking you for money, but the effort I put into this requires and deserves some payment after all, honey," Planta said.
"And I totally understand, I won\'t even ask for a discount," he said. "How much would it cost?"
Planta and Ambil looked at one another.
"It hasn\'t been tested yet though," said Planta.
"But I would say… Probably a few billion gold," Ambil said.
"T-That\'s all my savings…" Mark was shocked. "But okay, sure."
He could always purchase more gold in-game using his real money anyways. Gold was a big currency for NPC, but one billion gold usually cost between 150 to 250 USD when buying it from players.
And because Mark earned millions from slaying monsters IRL for SWORD, he could afford a lot of Gold with ease, so it wasn\'t that big of a problem…
"Anyways, if the armor test goes well and it is catalogued as an even better armor, the price might increase!" Planta smiled slightly devilishly.
"Haha, sure…" Mark nodded.
Then, the armor was given to the judges, the King, and the Queen. Each participant made their own interesting and unique piece of armor.
"Your majesty, we offer to you their creations," the referee said.
"One by one, bring them over," the King stated.
Like that, each participant walked towards him and showed the King what they had made. The Queen was also looking in silence. Once all the armor sets were placed on the table, the King and the Queen continued analyzing them. They quickly decided to wear the equipment.
The Queen chose Melisa\'s black armor, while the King picked Horshen special blazing spirit guardian armor. Both of them quickly called the beasts, from Level 100 to Level 200 to test the armor.
The test was simple, they let the beasts attack them with claws, fangs, and magic. Loud clashing sounds, explosions of elements, and more reverberated across the arena.
"ROOAAR!"
Several Drakes and Wyverns attacked the Queen\'s armor, the black armor held back really well, and it even could absorb damage taken and release spears of black flames against foes.
"Not bad, it can attack on its own, triggered by attacks it receives!"
The Queen praised the armor, gaining the clamor of the people.
"SHAAH!"
Meanwhile, the King tested her armor with the fangs of a viper drake, the venom couldn\'t get through the metal and there was a blazing protection around him. The armor\'s flames didn\'t burn, although they were still rather hot and uncomfortable as it heated the body too much, making the King sweat a lot.
Nonetheless, it unleashed fireballs similarly to the other armor, so the people lived that too. It could also conjure tiny fire sprites that would assist the wielder and take damage for them.
"That\'s some amazing armor…"
This time, it was Horshen who had stolen the job, his armor had many effects and abilities! It surprised both rulers.
Horshen remained smiling confidently as he crossed his arms, nodding as the rulers praised his armor.
Then, it was the turn of Erdragon and Goldanaba, Erdragon\'s heavy black draconic armor was worn by the Queen, while Goldanaba\'s shiny gold armor was worn by the King.
A similar test was done, and the monsters attacks couldn\'t get through them either. Goldanaba had learned and made her armor super tough even though she always liked to aim for aesthetics.
Above all, her armor could shapeshift as if it were liquid gold, imbued with her special gold magic or whatever power she possessed.
With just a command, the King could shapeshift the armor to grow long golden spears or spikes, and even shoot a piece of metal against a foe like a bullet, which then would be recovered through Mana.
Even more, it emanated bright light from within, and that light could explode on contact with a foe, temporarily blinding them for a moment.
And Erdragon\'s armor wasn\'t anything less than incredible either, Planta was beginning to realize how great everyone truly was!
