Spear User.]
From the stats provided by the spear, it boasts an impressive attack power. Additionally, it offers a significant boost with +100 Stamina, +150 Constitution, and +100 Strength. Just from these numbers alone, it’s akin to leveling up by 35 levels! This is a remarkably high value, and if he enhances the spear further, the stats will only continue to climb. Truly, a legendary-grade item possesses stats that are almost unreal. And that’s not even considering the skills it grants.
The first skill was called “Ocean’s Wrath.”
Broken took a deep breath, trying to wrap his mind around the description of this first skill. “This straightforward skill delivers Area of Effect damage to opponents, dealing both physical and water elemental damage. It also slows down the opponent’s movement speed by 20%.”
He paused, contemplating the potential effects. Water elemental damage was a rare trait, typically only accessible to those with an affinity for water elements. Fortunately, Broken had a high affinity for water, a reward he earned from the title ‘Master of Mythic Spirit’ after successfully forging a contract with Gaia. Finally, he would be able to harness elemental powers after obtaining this weapon.
However, he knew that water elemental damage was derived from magic damage, meaning the higher one’s Intelligence stat, the more potent the damage they could inflict.
He nodded, piecing it all together. This spear is perfectly suited for a Magic Spear user who combines both physical and magical attacks in combat.
“Sea of Storms, the second skill,” he began. This particular skill unleashed a torrent of water spells, causing chaos within a designated area. While each individual spear’s damage might not be overwhelming, the combined assault of a hundred rain spears was immensely effective against multiple adversaries.
He pondered further. “Although the damage is dispersed and strikes opponents at random, this means that as the number of enemies decreases, the remaining ones will suffer increasingly concentrated damage.”
It truly was an extraordinary area-of-effect skill. With just the first two skills revealed, both were already highly potent in terms of area damage, despite the spear being primarily intended for close-quarters combat.
The third skill was a passive ability, one that allowed the user to bypass a certain percentage of their opponent’s defense, thereby dealing more damage. It also came with a chance to reduce the opponent’s movement speed, all without consuming any mana. Truly, this was the hallmark of a Legendary-grade weapon!
Broken couldn’t help but smile with pride, his chest swelling at the sight of his magnificent creation. The very act of fighting with this spear would present a significant challenge to any opponent. Moreover, he could also mitigate the damage he received. Since it was a passive skill, simply wielding the spear would automatically enhance his combat effectiveness, skyrocketing his fighting potential to unprecedented heights.
The final skill, which Broken believed was derived from the Wild Boar Soul Stone, was a summoning ability. It allowed him to call forth a wild boar that could inflict significant damage on a target and continue fighting independently for 20 seconds.
“I suppose the boar inherits some of its abilities from its original form?” he mused aloud.
He paused, a small smile playing on his lips. “The more summoning skills I acquire, the better. It appears that even if I find myself fighting alone, I’ll still have the assistance of the many allies I can summon through my various skills.”
After absorbing every detail of the weapon he had just crafted, Broken finally turned his attention back to the surroundings. He noticed more and more people gathering, driven by curiosity about the dazzling new spear he held. It dawned on him that they had been waiting, watching him as he admired his latest creation.
“Broken… you are the winner,” Morbit announced, and the crowd erupted in a standing ovation.
“This is a significant achievement,” Max greeted him with a handshake and a smile. “Finally, someone has managed to craft a Legendary-grade item in this competition, earning the grand prize that had been withheld for decades.”
The air was filled with the sound of applause as everyone celebrated. The royal blacksmiths stood in stunned silence, still trying to process the miracle that Broken had accomplished right before their eyes.
Lionell took a few strides towards him. “I believe the King and the Princess have been eagerly awaiting your arrival to present you with something special, Broken.”
Nodding slowly, Broken felt the urgency in Lionell’s tone and followed him, accompanied by Morbit, Max, and the royal blacksmiths. As they approached the area where the Royals awaited, an eerie sensation crept up his spine, making him wonder what rewards lay in store. The anticipation was almost too much to bear.
King Alorik and Princess Alora rose to their feet in unison. Suddenly, two palace maids appeared in the distance, each carrying a wooden box gilded with gold, flanked by several knights. Their footsteps echoed as they approached the stage.
This was his moment. For Broken, it felt like another great milestone was within reach, with untold wonders awaiting him.
