Chapter 471: Death Of another Legendary Being
[Crimson Light Armour]
[Rank: Epic]
[Details: Despite its lightweight construction, the armour provides exceptional protection through special displacement technology that redirects incoming force rather than simply absorbing it. Most remarkably, the armour possesses an active defensive capability that can be triggered during moments of extreme danger.
Special Skill: Crimson Reflection – A one-time use barrier that activates automatically when the wearer sustains damage that would exceed 50% of their maximum health in a single attack. The barrier not only absorbs the incoming damage but also reflects 30% of the total force back at the attacker with interest. Once used, the skill requires a full day to recharge through ambient mana absorption. (Note: If the damage is too severe, the armour might break.)]
Arthur immediately recognised the armour’s superior qualities compared to his current equipment. While he maintained somewhat of a sentimental attachment to gear that had served him well through previous battles, effectiveness always took precedence over such considerations.
He quickly exchanged his existing armour for the Crimson Light Armour, feeling the epic-rank equipment settle into place comfortably. The armour’s adaptive properties immediately began adjusting to his physical parameters, creating a perfect fit that enhanced rather than restricted his natural movements.
Just like the other items, the armour had the function of hiding its look, which Arthur activated.
The special skill was particularly valuable, an automatic defensive response that could save his life during encounters with opponents whose power exceeded his current defensive capabilities. The 30% damage reflection meant that any enemy strong enough to trigger the barrier would find themselves taking substantial damage from their own attack.
As for the armour breaking, although it was a pity, the armour would have served its purpose of protecting him.
Arthur stored the remaining epic items in his dimensional storage, each piece representing potential upgrades for his guild members or valuable trading materials for future negotiations. Epic-rank equipment was rare enough that even pieces unsuited to his personal combat style held significant strategic value.
