Blacksmith of the Apocalypse

Although Seth wanted to directly affirm his theory and test the new power he had discovered, he already had more than enough to do in the moment. Instead, he turned his excitement back to the fresh set of items before him.

At first glance at the Tenacity of Beashaz, the ring with a tear-shaped monster core on it, he was able to confirm that his effort to raise durability was not in vain. The original durability was more than tripled, and it was actually more durable than some of Seth's own rings.

Surprisingly, the Power of the effect “Tenacity of Beashaz” had not weakened on the ring, despite splitting the original prayer bead apart. Seth had expected each set piece to inherit a weakened part of the legendary effects, and they would regain their strength as a set effect.

However, the ring granted 185 strength and endurance. The additional 35 were a split from the soul's enchantment. In addition, there were the effects of the Pearl of Sai, one being Defense of Saishako. The effect raised physical defense by 50% against melee damage and by 30% against ranged attacks.

The other was . Seth knew what to expect, but his eyes still widened when he read the description of the skill.

”I only need one punch...”

Charging for at least 10 Seconds without moving doubles the physical damage of the next punch.

Increases Physical Damage by 100% for every additional 30 seconds of charging, up to 10 times the physical damage.>

He was prepared for a good skill, but this was more than he had expected from an epic material. A 10-second charge up to double your attack power was terrifying. Taking into account that Fin was pretty good with barriers and defense, who knew how close to 10 times damage she could get in a fight?

However, the actually broken part of the skill was that you didn't need to be in combat to charge up the skill. This meant wearing the ring would be like walking around with a loaded gun at all times. Any match could start off with a punch 10 times its usual power. He already felt pity for her opponents.

But this was not thanks to just the Pearl of Sai. Seth knew from Sivri, that this skill usually cost a shit load of mana. Apparently, only a few people used this skill past the 10-second charge, as it simply cost too much mana.

Even if you could charge it outside of combat, it was not a skill anyone could comfortably use as it would constantly drain mana. If it wasn't for the soul of Pithra shouldering that cost, the skill would be far from as broken as it was.
