Chapter 881 - 426: Renewed and Refreshed (Part 2)
[These earrings are infused with the Power of Water and do not contain any skills that utilize Water Elements, but are specialized for the storage and calling of the Power of Water, being beneficial only to those who are particularly proficient in controlling Water Elements]
[Tier: 7]
[Category: Accessories]
[Equipment Skills: Pure Magic Water Accumulation, Great River Array [Surge]]
[Set Combination: 1/3 [Water Child’s Simple Outfit]]
[Set Effect: Refreshed and Renewed]
The first item is a pair of light blue earrings that resemble ordinary jewelry. Even if placed on a shop counter, they are as exquisite as high-end accessories; knowing they are equipment would surely lead to competition among Female Sky Knights.
The suffix of its Array Skill is [Surge], indicating it’s a Magical Artifact rather than armor.
"Their power is merely storing and refining the water element. Even though you’ve mastered Water Control to perfection, it can still enhance the speed of various Water Attribute attacks."
When the earrings just cooled down after being crafted, Meluna eagerly seized them from Li Ang as a child would.
Does she seem more lively than before?
Li Ang didn’t know what dream she had, but it might be Meimei’s words that awakened the gentle side of her heart. Such behavior is actually a good sign; this childish act might just be her recovering something she lacked from the past.
However, she was somewhat ungrateful towards Meimei’s actions.
The earrings don’t require piercing, with a design to hang from the earlobe. After Li Ang taught her how to wear them, seeing her clumsily trying them on, he began crafting the next item.
The design was complete, and while crafting, he had the chance to chat with Meluna, though she was willing to talk, sometimes leaving him speechless.
"Have you fought other Dragon Ancestors, like Nidhogg and Freyia who destroyed the Holy City?"
"I fought them."
"Do they have any weaknesses?"
"Not their real bodies, they are quite weak."
"..."
"How did demons come to be?"
"Sorry, I don’t know, too busy killing them."
"..."
[Water Healing Bracelet]
[Bracelet engraved with water attribute healing runes, absorbs water elements and user’s magic power, continuously healing wounds]
[Tier: 7]
[Category: Wrist Guard]
[Equipment Skills: Purifying Water and Nourishing Flesh, Great River Array [Vortex]]
[Set Combination: 1/3 [Water Child’s Simple Outfit]]
[Set Effect: Refreshed and Renewed]
This pair of bracelets has an elegant design, about two fingers wide, not as weak as simple rings, nor do they hinder her physical actions.
Meluna stretched out her hands and put on the silver bracelets etched with magic runes, instantly making her wrists look even more beautiful, if not for the earrings being crooked, her elegance would be greatly enhanced.
The healing equipment primarily aims to address the scars from her last battle with the Eye of God.
Later, Li Ang observed her thoroughly with Spiritual Observation, discovering details that could not be detected through Spiritual Perception, astounding him.
Replacing the Essence Skeleton with the ultimate magic power, circulating in place of bone marrow, not only compensating for lacking physiological capabilities but also strengthens it. For ordinary people, magic power is drawn externally through spirituality and cannot merge with the body, yet she crafted an inbuilt magic circulation system using source material.
This achievement is a miracle, she must have endured great pain for power, but Nebis finding someone willing to suffer for power is perhaps not as difficult as finding someone knowledgeable enough to complete such a replacement for her.
This system based on the Essence Skeleton, after which she can self-heal. The Essence Skeleton makes her akin to Wolverine, Li Ang can’t think of anyone who could deal her serious injuries, yet during battle, healing wounds would definitely aid her, as aside from her bones, she is still flesh and blood.
The last item is the ankle ring, similar in structure to the Water Healing Bracelet, but with added runes for controlling wind elements.
Her power is immense, especially with the suspected effects of the Essence Skeleton. Ordinary boots might be crushed under her full strength, even in the Excellence Realm.
Thus, the ankle ring allows the equipment itself to be more secure.
[Floating Cloud Anklet]
[Through engraving water and wind attribute runes, they can produce cloud mist, allowing the wearer to float]
[Tier: 7]
[Category: Wrist Guard]
[Equipment Skills: Cloud Racing, Great River Array [Vortex]]
[Set Combination: 1/3 [Water Child’s Simple Outfit]]
[Set Effect: Refreshed and Renewed]
The anklet serves as battle support; though she can use various means to hover temporarily, distinguishing it from beings that naturally fly, which this anklet aims to resolve.
Meluna put on the anklet, her feet aren’t small but not petite either, primarily due to years of combat training shaping her bones, making her toes look long and strong; not cute, but definitely elegant.
Seeing Li Ang staring at her feet, she didn’t understand what was so interesting.
"Let’s leave it like this, I’ll consider making higher-tiered items later."
Frankly, the current equipment crafting ability yields products that, rather than enhancing Meluna’s strength, serve more to look after her. Her Six Dragon Wing Claw Mark and Essence Skeleton far surpass ordinary Exquisite Equipment.
"Many fewer pieces than Meimei."
"That’s because those she can use, you can’t—"
"No worries, I’ll snatch three pieces from her, exactly three I can’t wear."
"Don’t go snatch them!"
Li Ang said helplessly: "These three pieces are specifically compatible with your Set Skills."
[Skill: Refreshed and Renewed]
[Activation Method: Magic Infusion in Set Equipment]
[Dust and dirt completely cleaned, revitalized body radiating life’s vitality]
Set Skills primarily involve magical cleaning of the body, and due to the bracelet’s included effects, a thorough clean would enhance spirituality, optimizing physical state.
Though cleaning is simple, modern conveniences are largely a benefit of chemical industry progress, even with Water Control, given her lifestyle, it’s difficult to clean properly with just water.
If not for the Magic Power Magic Scripture, Li Ang wouldn’t have been able to incorporate cleaning effects into the equipment.
Meluna immediately used Magic Perception to activate the washing effect of the three-piece set.
With an act of magic, her messy black hair was washed over by a thin stream of water, instantly glowing, though previously disheveled, it didn’t transform into long straight hair but revealed regularly grown curly waves.
"Alright, tie it up with a hairband, and you’re presentable."
"Was I embarrassing you before?"
"Not really, as there wasn’t an opportunity to be embarrassed."
After Li Ang’s sarcastic remark, Meluna seemed somewhat hurt.
Hmm? Previously, she seemed like a piece of wood.
He suddenly thought he must adapt to this change in her.
"Alright, if there’s nothing else, leave. I need to update equipment for the whole team, very busy."
Li Ang waved her off, Meluna raised her arm, the pose suggested grabbing his arm for abduction, but she evidently remembered something, and her gesture turned to holding his sleeve.
Despite standing boldly, she attempted to act like a coy young girl.
Luckily, the newly acquired accessories and sleek black hair aided her in this effect.
"Tonight." Meluna’s voice was soft and husky.
Li Ang swiftly agreed and then pointed beside him: "Put on clothes before going out."
...
The journey that followed to the Sanctuary of All Spirits was unusually quiet aboard the Eternal Summer.
Perhaps because they’ve realized Li Ang would be away for some time, the problematic girls didn’t cause trouble, following his hope by cultivating and studying daily.
About a week later, the majesty of the Land of Ten Thousand Spirits became visible in the distant sea of clouds.
"I can’t see anything?" Zoe leaned close to Li Ang on the deck, craning her neck inquisitively, from her view, there was only endless blue sky ahead.
Hanging the Seer Pendant around her neck, and performing a simple enhancement of some of her spirituality, Li Ang said: "Look again."
The young girl’s expression gradually froze, and next to her, Dorothy exclaimed: "What, what, let me see too."
