Chapter 603 Void Study
After handing over the demon army to Nathan, Evan left the city of Naphliam and headed towards the city of Ravenhurst.
Sitting at the top of the Bone Dragon who was flying faster than normal S rank Monsters, Evan looked at the storage ring that Illuisa gave him after leaving the Naphliam City.
There were just two things inside the storage ring, but both of them were very useful for him because they were the remaining two materials he needed to evolve his Boots Of Voidgazer and Carnage.
"There are around twenty kilograms of star ore and fifty ores of Galesteel," Evan said, looking inside the storage ring.
After taking a look at the star ore and the Galesteel that Illusia brought with her, Evan took out Carnage and all the materials that were needed for its pseudo-evolution.
---) Evolution Requirements For Carnage--
--) For Full Evolution-
1. S-Rank Prime Core or S-Rank Monarch Core
2. Three S Rank Cores
3. Ten Kilograms Of Star Ore.
4. One Dark Energy Crystal
5. Two Blood Energy Crystals
---)For Pseudo Evolution-
1. A+ Rank Prime Core
2. One S Rank Core
3. Three Kilograms Of Star Ore
4. One Blood Energy Crystal
Evan was still some distance away from reaching S rank so he couldn't evolve Carnage to full S rank artefact.
Currently, his Monarch Core is at 63% and if he wants, he can easily increase its rank to S using the resources he has inside his shadow storage.
But now that his Monarch Core is already at 63% percent, Evan doesn't want to use energy devouring skill anymore to increase its rank.
Instead of energy devouring skill, he wanted to use the A rank, A+ rank, and S rank cores to improve the rank of his Monarch Core so that he could get a few more skills.
He had around two hundred A and A+ rank cores in his shadow storage but these cores were far from enough to push his Monarch Core to S rank.
He was not sure how much time it would take him to collect enough high rank cores to increase the rank of his Monarch Core which is why he decided to take the pseudo evolution path for the time being.
"What should I do now?" Evan muttered to himself after taking out all the materials that he needed for Carnage's Evolution. It was the first time he was evolving an artefact so he wasn't sure what he had to do in order to evolve his artefact.
After a moment of consideration, he put down all the materials and Carnage at the top of the bone dragon and infused his mana into the materials and Carnage at the same time.
For the first few seconds, nothing happened even after he infused his mana into the Carnage and Materials. But around one minute, Evan noticed that the small Rune that appeared on the frame of Carnage after he connected it with the Growth Link skill started to glow slightly.
Seeing something was happening, Evan increased the amount of Mana he was infusing into them.
Woosh!
Suddenly, the small rune on the top of the Carnage's frame released a silver light and all the materials Evan had placed in front of the gun turned into liquid and merged with it.
As the materials merged with the carnage after turning into liquid, the black frame of the gun emitted a brilliant golden light.
(Growth Link Skill Activated)
(Carnage Is Evolving Into A Pseudo S Rank Artefact)
Two notifications flashed before Evan's eyes and with each passing second, the golden light coming out from the Carnage became brighter and brighter.
After around five minutes, the golden light coming out from the Carnage dimmed down and it slowly returned to normal.
(Carnage Successfully Evolved Into the Pseudo S Rank Artefact)
A notification flashed before Evan's eyes and he noticed the black frame of the Carnage was now looking tougher than before. A very faint red aura was covering the black Carnage, enhancing its menacing look.
"This red aura must be the result of the Blood Energy Crystal," Evan said to himself and picked up the Carnage. The weight of the gun was the same as before and there was not much difference.
---) Carnage (Pseudo S Rank): Carnage is a sinister work of art, its obsidian frame enhanced with star ore. The sole purpose of creating Carnage was to kill its target. After evolving into a Pseudo S Rank artefact, the power of all the previous skills of Carnage is increased by two times. Now, While welding Carnage other than Focus, Mana Strengthening, Zephyr Precision and Phantom Shot skills you can use Blood Bullet skill as well. The wielder of Carnage can switch between rapid-fire and single-shot mode at will. ---) Focus: Focus skill keeps the user's mind calm and improves his eyesight by 40 times.
---) Mana Strengthening: You can use mana to improve the power of Carnage Marksmen's bullets.
---) Zephyr Precision: The Carnage Rifle's shots can be adjusted mid-flight, allowing the user to change the trajectory of their bullets to hit targets from unexpected angles.
---) Phantom Shot: Shots fired from the Carnage can phase through obstacles, allowing you to take down enemies who think they are safe behind cover. (Can only be used six times a day)
---) Blood Bullet: - - -
(The power of shots fired from Carnage depends on the materials used in creating the bullets. If the material of the bullet is not good then the power of the shots will be reduced greatly)
When Evan looked at the details of Carnage, nothing much changed. Other than the new Skill Blood Bullet, the only thing that changed in Carnage was the power of its previous skill.
From its initial 20 times, the Focus skill can now improve his eyesight by 40 times and he can use the Phantom Shot skill six times instead of the previous three times.
The power of Mana Strengthening also increased by two times and it became easier for him to control the bullets of Carnage using the Zephyr Precision skill.
"Although the improvements are not bad I was hoping to receive a skill that would have allowed me to create bullets using my mana," Evan said in a disappointed voice after reading the details of the Carnage and looked at its new skill Blood Bullet.
At first, Evan's expressions were normal while reading the details of the skill. But the more he read, the serious his expression became.
In the end, when he finished reading the details of the blood bullet skill, his heart started to beat like a war drum.
"Damn, If I use this skill along with my Doom Bringer BloodLine it will become a sure kill skill for me," Evan said in a voice full of excitement.
"Forget about Arora world even in Utopia It will be a deadly skill for anyone."
Evan read the details of the blood bullet skill a few more times just to make sure he was not mistaken.
After reading the same details five times, he finally took a deep breath and carefully placed the Carnage inside his shadow storage. His shadow undeads who were inside the shadow storage were speechless seeing how carefully Evan was placing the Carnage. They thought about how he always threw them inside the shadow storage without caring about anything and felt jealous.
Elysia and Illusia's eyes narrowed when they saw the way Evan was placing the Carnage and they immediately called an emergency secret cult meeting. Within seconds, unknown to Evan, some psychopathic cultists were planning to destroy his newly evolved artefact because they were jealous of the care he was giving to it.
"I can use the Blood Bullet skill once every seven days, although the cool down time is not short, considering the power of this skill it is still far shorter than many other skills," Evan said and took out the Boots Of Voidgazers to evolve them as well.
The boots of Voidgazer helped him a lot since he obtained them.
---) Boots of the Voidgazer (A+ Rank): These boots bestow the user with increased agility and reflexes, allowing them to change direction rapidly and perform complex acrobatics while moving swiftly. While wearing the boots, the user can use the skill 'Step Of Voidgazer'
Evan's agility has always been very high thanks to his skills like Temporal Velocity, Flicker Steps, Wind Manipulation, and a few other skills.
Using all these skills at the same time increases his agility to such a terrifying level that no one in Arora World can catch him. But if not for the Boots of the Voidgazer, he would never have been able to utilize the full potential of his high agility.
The boots of Voidgazer increase his reflexes and allow him to change direction rapidly and perform complex acrobatics while moving at his top speed.
Without this ability, it would have been incredibly difficult for him to control his body while moving at his top speed.
"Let's hope just like Carnage, these boots will also give me something good," Evan said to himself after taking out the boots.
---) Evolution Requirements For the Boots Of Voidgazer--
--) For Full Evolution-
1. S Rank Prime Core Or S Rank Monarch Core
2. Two Kilograms of Void Silver
3. Two S Rank Cores
4. Five Ores of Galesteel
-)For Pseudo Evolution-
1. A+ Rank Prime Core
2. 500 grams of Void Silver
3. Three A+ Rank Cores
4. Three Ores of Galesteel
Just like Carnage, Evan placed the Pseudo Evolution materials in front of Boots Of Voidgazer and infused his mana into them.
Soon, the Runes that appeared on the sole of the boots after he connected them with the Growth Link skill lit up, and similar to before, the material turned into liquid and merged with the boots.
(Growth Link Skill Activated)
(Boots Of Voidgazer Is Evolving Into A Pseudo S Rank Artefact)
The boots released a splendid golden light after the materials merged with it and Evan felt the space around the boots shaking a little.
'It seems the effect of Step Of Voidgazer skill will be increased greatly after its evolution' Evan thought inwardly when he felt the space energy fluctuations that were coming out from the boots.
The Evolution process of the boots lasted for around fifteen minutes, which was three times more than the Carnage's evolution time.
When the golden light around the boots disappeared and they successfully evolved, Evan noticed the pitch black boots now had a hint of purple colour in them.
He picked up the boots and looked at their details.
When Evan looked at the details of the boots, he saw just like the details of Carnage, the details of Boots Of Voidgazer didn't change much.
Now other than increasing the agility and reflexes, the boots can increase the power of all of his movement types skills by 50% as well.
Although this effect was quite simple, the benefit that this effect provided was extraordinary.
For example, using his skill Wind Walk, Evan can travel up to ten kilometres in the blink of an eye. But now with the new effect of Boots Of Voidgazer, he can travel up to fifteen kilometres in an instant... And this is the result when he is using only one single skill. What if along with the Wind Walk skill, he uses his other movement skills like Flicker Steps as well?
The benefits of this simple effect were anything but ordinary.
"This is the effect of Pseudo S Rank boots and this effect will increase even more after I evolve it into a full S rank artefact," Evan said to himself with a smile on his face and looked at the details of Step Of Voidgazer skill.
---) Step Of Voidgazer: When the wearer activates this skill, they gain the ability to step into the void and traverse vast distances in mere seconds, teleporting from one point to another. The maximum distance you can travel using this skill is one hundred and fifty kilometres and this skill can be used two times a day.
The effect of the skill that Boots Of Voidgazer provided didn't change much. Now, instead of one hundred kilometres, he could move one hundred and fifty kilometres.
Although the skill didn't change much and the improved effect was also not anything outstanding, Evan didn't care much about it because his entire focus was placed on the new skill of the Boots that opened after its evolution to the Pseudo S Rank.
"Unlike Carnage which evolved in just five minutes, the Boots Of Voidgazer took a full fifteen minutes to complete their evolution. Although the fifty percent increase in all movement type skills is a very good effect, it is not even close to the effect of the Blood Bullet skill," Evan muttered to himself and narrowed his eyes." If my guess is not wrong the Boots Of Voidgazer took fifteen minutes to evolve because of this newly opened skill."
Evan focused his gaze on the name of the new skill and the details of the skill that will greatly affect his future appeared in front of him.
---)Void Study: This skill allows you to send your spiritual senses into the void for ten minutes a day. With the help of this skill, you can understand the mysteries of the void and turn your world essence into the conceptual energy of the void.
