"These gauntlets can now increase my strength by 30% instead of the previous 20% and because of the sun's true fire, in addition to physical damage I can now cause soul damage as well while wearing them," Evan said after wearing the Blazebringer Gauntlets. "There's a new skill as well, but considering these gauntlets improved from A+ to S, the benefits they provide aren't as good as I expected."
He recently evolved his Boots Of Voidgazer and Carnage and although they did not become S rank artefacts after evolution, the improvements they received were far better than the Blazebringer Gauntlet which became a genuine S rank artefact.
It was a good thing that he already left Astrate City which is why Sebastian didn't hear him, if he had heard Evan complaining about the gauntlet's improved abilities, he would have cursed him to death.
The improvement gauntlets received after reaching S rank were actually quite good. Especially the soul damage effect of the sun's true fire.
The only reason he felt the improvements were not good was because of the abnormal evolution of Carnage and Boots Of Voidgazer. Instead of evolving them by normal means, Evan increased their ranks by using the growth link skill.... And the improvement effects that the skill provided were far better than the improvement a blacksmith can provide.
"Forget it, now that I am an S rank hunter, I can connect one more artefact with my growth link skill," Evan muttered and put away his gauntlets, "I will have to consider carefully which artefact I should connect with the growth link next."
After putting away the gauntlets, he opened his status window to look at it.
"So, no new effect of the Growth Link skill opened this time, huh," Evan said after opening his status window.
He had received growth link skill when his prime core reached C rank. From that moment onwards, every time he increased the rank of his Monarch Core, a new effect of the growth link skill opened.
When his Monarch Core reached B rank he received the effect of taking skills from his shadow undeads and when it reached A rank he received the effect of connecting his artefacts with the growth link skill.
But this time other than the fact that he can connect one more artefact with the growth link skill, there were no improvements in the skill.
Although no new effects were unlocked, Evan was not disappointed because the current three effects of the growth link skill were already very powerful.
(You have received the class-specific skill Shadow Clone)
(You have received skill Soul Beacon)
(Your Bloodline 'Doom Bringer' is becoming pure)
(Your luck is decreased by 20% because of your Doom Bringer Bloodline)
---) Shadow Clone: Using the essence of shadow, you can create a clone of yourself. The clone will have fifty percent of your power and will be able to use all of your skills except for the class-specific and unique skills.
"A clone skill," Evan raised an eyebrow after reading the details of the skill.
"Although the clone will only be able to use fifty percent of my power and will have some restrictions on the skills it can use, it is still quite good because even with my fifty percent power this clone will be able to face any S Ranker without any problem," Evan said and activated the skill.
When he activated the skill, a dark aura came out of his body and turned into a clone that looked exactly like him.
"If both of us appeared in front of someone they would think we are twins because there is no difference between us," Evan nodded his head in satisfaction after seeing the appearance of the clone and cancelled the skill.
"It is a pity I can make only one clone for now otherwise..." He muttered in a low voice and looked at the details of the next skill.
---) Soul Beacon: By utilising ten thousand souls at once, you can create a unique magical beacon made of the essence of souls, allowing you to teleport to specific locations where the soul beacon is placed. This skill consumes a great amount of mana upon activation and the greater the teleportation distance, the higher the mana consumption will be.
(Note: The distance you can teleport using the soul beacon skill will depend on the Rank of the Beacon you will create)
Evan narrowed his eyes after reading the details of Soul Beacon skill. He always wanted a teleportation-type skill, but this skill was a little different from the normal teleportation type skills.
"What does it mean by the rank of the Beacon?" He muttered in a confused voice. He read the details of the skill one more time and something clicked in his mind.
He used the soul beacon skill and used ten thousand F rank souls to create a beacon.
Just as he used the skill, he lost ten thousand F rank souls and a milky white triangular-shaped item appeared in his hand.
---) F Rank Soul Beacon: Allows you to teleport anywhere within ten kilometres of the area.
"So that's how it is," Evan said after seeing the triangular-shaped item in his hand. "Looks like the distance I can travel using the Soul Beacon skill greatly depends on the quality of souls I use while creating the beacons."
After F rank, Evan directly used ten thousand B+ rank souls and created a B+ rank Beacon
---) B+ Rank Soul Beacon: Allows you to teleport anywhere within two thousand kilometres of area.
Evan couldn't help but suck a breath of cold air seeing the distance he could travel using the B+ rank beacon.
"I will be able to travel more freely using these soul beacons in the future," He said in a joyful voice and decided to try the effect of soul beacon skill later.
He felt a little regretful because he did not have ten thousand A rank souls otherwise he would have made an A rank beacon.
"Well, there will be many opportunities for me in the future to collect high rank souls," He said and looked at the last two notifications.
lightsnοvεl When he looked at the last notifications that he received after reaching S rank, a weird expression appeared on his face.
"My luck is reduced by 20%," He muttered in a baffled voice, not understating what does it mean.
He thought about it for a few minutes, but nothing came into his mind. When nothing came into his mind, Evan simply shrugged his shoulders and stopped thinking about it.
Instead of thinking about his luck, he looked at the most important thing that he received after reaching S rank.
---) Current Number Of Saved Shadows: 500/4000
"Four thousand?" Evan raised an eyebrow seeing he can now save four thousand shadow undeads. "Each time I increase the rank of my Monarch Core the number of shadow undeads I can save increases by ten times, then why is it different this time?" He said to himself in a confused voice.
Suddenly, something came into Evan's mind.
"According to my guess, I should have been able to save 5000 shadow undeads after reaching S rank but I can only save 4000. The 20% of 5000 is 1000 so does it mean..." he muttered in a low voice and looked at the last notification he received.
(Your luck is decreased by 20% because of the effect of Doom Bringer Bloodline)
