Guild Wars-Novel

Right out of the number 5 compartment came something that shocked the trio. It was a box that was as large as a trunk.

ï½¢Equipment Loadout Selector â€" Unique Item

Rank: Divine

Effects:

Passive 1 â€" Loadouts: Anyone can have a special set of 5 customizable loadouts which they can store into the item and access from it at any time.

Passive 2 â€" Respawn Change: When you die, during the cooldown before you are revived, no matter where in the world you are, you are able to access this item's effects and switch your loadout before you revive.

Active 1 â€" Live Change: Activating this allows one to switch their loadouts anywhere in the world. Cooldown: None.

Note: Upon selecting this, the player with be sent into a penalty less respawn.

Active 2 â€" Gunsmith: Activating this skill allows one who had stored their loadouts to access the gunsmith menu, able to add acquired mods to various weapons to enhance their effects. Duration: Infinite Cooldown: None.

Description: This item is a special but common item in a unique alternate world called 'Call of Duty'. It was acquired by Poseidon when he entered the Tower of Babylon 300,000 years ago as a Rank 6 Water Godling.ï½£

Draco, Eva, and Shuangtian shared a look. This item was quite interesting actually and they could see how useful it would be for both players and NPCs...

Wait a moment.

If NPCs used this and they use Passive 2 or Active 1, would they die for good? Or could they gain the ability to respawn like players??

If so, this item would be the most broken shit ever. An NPC who had registered their loadout only needed to select active 1 right before they are killed and would be able to dodge death!

This would definitely require further testing. As it were, the core members were done with their looting, so Draco called them over and handed them the item to tinker and register.

Funny enough, the item could be used by multiple people at once. In fact, some sharp-minded fellows were lying prone on the floor while using it, showing that their instincts were on top.

Eva rolled her eyes and opened compartment 4, taking out a set of spotters. These spotters glowed with a Divine light and they looked like small binoculars with a crosshair in the center.

ï½¢Standard Issue Military Spotter â€" Spotter

Rank: Divine

Durability: MAX

Effects:

Passive 1 â€" All User Acceptance: This item, despite its Divine nature, can be used by anyone of any race of any age, at any time.

Passive 2 â€" Ammo: This item's ammunition is provided by the USMC, and is theoretically infinite as long as the cooldown elapses.

Active 1 â€" Bullstorm: Summon an AC-130 to rain bullets on all enemies within an Area Zone. The damage dealt is 3,000% projectile damage per target hit, and has a 5% chance to shred a target below 30% HP to death. Cooldown: 1 day.

Active 2 â€" Endgame: The match is over, and you have accumulated max killstreak. Summon a tactical nuke to wipe the map and clear the field, dealing 50,000% explosion damage to a Continent Zone. Cooldown: 7 days.

Note: Using this skill will leave the Continent zone in question uninhabitable for 10 years! Use with caution!

Description: This is the most basic spotter that recon units in the USMC used to mark locations for pickups, drops, and especially for airstrikes. This one in particular is more offensive-based and is used to mark areas where airstrikes are needed.ï½£

Draco laughed and picked them before aiming towards a far place. He then callously activated the first active skill. Immediately, one could hear and see a giant yet beautiful airplane fly over and then hover around.

A giant Gatling gun attached to its nose aimed downward and began spinning. Immediately, a terrible yet orgasmic sound of heavy bullets being fired so fast sound, like someone ripping paper so fast that it formed a loop.

For those benefiting from this sound, they could practically jerk off to it. For those targeted by it, it was as if the devil himself was singing as one's body was turned into bloodmist.

Draco watched an entire area be turned from lush land into hellish, upturned earth that was filled with huge amounts of lead. After the AC-130 established its dominance and left all the males with hard-ons and the females with soaked panties, it left without saying a word.

Maximum chadery.

Draco could help but tsk. Imagine if they had this item when dealing with the Kraken. Even if it wouldn't be killed in one shot, it would definitely feel the pain.

This was also why Rank 7 entities would go crazy for Divine items. A Divine item in the hands of a Rank 7 fellow could absolutely kill any other Rank 7, so it was either they had or not one did!

In fact, the cretins descending on Umbra right now claimed to do so because they had gone overboard, but they most likely believed that Umbra used a Divine weapon to do this, so their real goal was to either snatch or destroy it.

As for the tactical nuke, he didn't dare to use it. A damage of 50,000% was not a small one, and it could likely cause a maximum power genocide. No wonder Poseidon kept it in this cabinet and placed it as number 4 of his top 10 items.

This made Draco curious about number 3, to which he opened the compartment and took out something that glowed with a special light.

ï½¢Scroll of Upgrade â€" Consumable

Rank: Divine (100% effectiveness)

Effect: Activate this scroll to upgrade any items below the Divine Rank straight up to the Divine Rank.ï½£

Draco, Eva, and Shaungtian's eyes lit up. This scroll was definitely worthy of being number 3 with such a beneficial effect! Being able to turn any items into Divine ones was truly useful, especially for some relatively unique and obscure ones that were of a low Rank.

Draco pondered and cast his mind to all the lower Rank items he currently had. Out of all of them, the only one that the trio possessed that was definitely worthy of an upgrade was...

The Fire of War!

ï½¢Fire of War â€" Fusion item

Rank: Epic

Durability: 100,000/100,000

Passive 1 â€" Forging Efficiency: The success rate of forging for all items is raised by 35% regardless of rank.

Active 1 â€" War-Monger: Activating this skill allows the user to merge with the Fire of War, boosting damage by 180% for as long as there is stamina to burn. No cooldown.

Description: This is a flame that was birthed due to the presence of war, a legendary mystic flame born from the collective force of human consciousness. Ranked number 9 out of the Great Ten Mystic Flames.ï½£

Its abilities perfectly suited Draco, for passive one boosted his forging ability regardless of Rank, which was maddening. It meant if he had an Origin rank blueprint or design as well as origin Rank materials, despite being only a Grandmaster of Forging, he had a flat 35% to success regardless!

It went well with his old Inventor title which he hadn't equipped in years.

ï½¢Inventor â€" Special Rank

15% additional success rate when crafting regardless of item rank or typeï½£

So a total of 50% chance to succeed. To any sensible person, this was broken, but to Draco, he didn't dare to waste materials if he couldn't replicate them with Refinement.

Since he now had Refinement at Stage 2, the plan was to start crafting Divine items and breakthrough to the God Rank. However, this was easier said than done, as breaking through to the God Rank required three things.

1. A Divine Rank Blacksmithing technique

2. A Divine Source Origin ( or alternatively, but way more costly, Divine Crystals)

3. A unique Divine blueprint/design created by himself.

To fulfill condition 1, he needed to raise his Three Pound Origin technique from level 7 to level 9 which was a task as hard as ascending to the heavens for him unless he had some inspiration or enlightenment.

Divine Source Origin was slated for Rank 5 and he could wait until then. At their current speed and with their current achievements, it shouldn't take too long.

As for a unique Divine blueprint made by himself, that was the easiest. He had thousands of items for them as he had already seen so many different Divine items for himself.

Anyway, Draco prepared to invest more time into Tradeskills after the Vault was looted, so upgrading the Fire of War was the best bet.

He unfurled the scroll and read its contents out loud.

ï½¢Detected a Scroll of Upgrade.

Would the player like to upgrade an item? Y/Nï½£

Obviously, Draco selected yes.

Draco looked through the list and his eyes flickered. One might actually dispute his current choice, but he was looking at it from a perspective of practicality towards himself rather, than general practicality.

As such, the Fire of War was still the best option and was what he chose without hesitation.

Immediately, endless Divine Energy gathered and rushed into Draco's body, merging with the Fire of War that had fused with him. He felt it burn with hotter flames that caused his body to roar with power and suddenly came to a halt.

Draco then checked the upgraded Fire of War.

ï½¢Fire of War â€" Fusion item

Rank: Divine

Durability: MAX

Passive 1 â€" Forging Efficiency: The success rate of forging for all items is raised by 35% regardless of rank.

Passive 2 â€" Forging Perfection: The final effects of any forged item are increased by 500%.

Active 1 â€" War-Monger: Activating this skill allows the user to merge with the Fire of War, boosting damage by 180% for as long as there is stamina to burn. No cooldown.

Active 2 â€" Pacifist: Activating this skill allows the user to merge with the Fire of War and smelt energy into vitality, restoring 1% of HP per second for 1% of stamina burned. No cooldown.

Description: This flame was initially birthed due to the presence of war, a former legendary mystic flame born from the collective force of human consciousness. Previously, it had been ranked at number 9 out of the Great Ten Mystic Flames, but has now surpassed that category to become a Supreme Mystic Flame.ï½£

The old skills hadn't changed, which was normal and was not how upgrading items worked. However, two new skills had been added, one passive and one active, that perfectly completed the item and enhanced its overall effect.

Especially Active 2, which now allowed Draco to fight with True Gods. Even if they beat his HP down, he could just burn his unlimited stamina to restore HP faster than he could lose it, becoming a cockroach surpassing Shuangtian.

As for Passive 2, it was something Vita Kingdom already gave, but far, far weaker in potency. Now, if Draco crafted things in Vita Kingdom, their average quality would be around 5.5 times better than anyone else in the world, which was crazy.

This even affected Legendary, Divine, or Origin items!

This could easily overturn the world and cause endless chaos, especially if Draco used these things to equip his army and core members. Though the core members would likely be carefully outfitted with Divine items instead, given their status and power.

Still, assuming two fellows with Legendary swords met, the Vita-affiliated fellow's sword would slice the opponent's Legendary sword in half.

Damn!
