MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 991: Ascended Wind

Ding!

[Ascended Wind Wolf Chestplate] (Level 40)

Rarity: Rare+

Foundation Tier: None

Defense: 189 - 315

Forge Quality: Transcendent

Originally part of an armor set commonly produced by those from the Blacksmith Guild for classes specializing in speed, this piece of armor has broken the inherent limits of the original armor set, being forged by a blacksmith that has reached the origin of blacksmithing.

Not only has its properties broken through the armor setʼs inherent limits, the blacksmith that forged it had also taken into consideration its appearance, making it a piece of armor that even noble families would vie for just to claim for themselves.

Nevertheless, the Wind Wolf Armor set is still a basic armor set at its core.

However, with the right materials and the right person managing it, there might be the possibility for it to show its true colors.

Set Effects:

- 2 pieces: AGI and DEX +10

- 3 pieces: HP +800 and MP +400

- 4 pieces: AGI and DEX +3%

- 6 pieces: Movement and Attack Speed +10%

Remarks: Youʼve breathed new life into this piece of armor, giving it the platform necessary for it to reach greater heights.

Of course, though most of Valyrʼs attention was preoccupied by forging the next piece of armor making up the set, a portion of the young manʼs mind still lingered on the information heʼd obtained regarding the chestplate he forged.

From the defense the chestplate gave, to the various skills and set effects that the armor had, all of it was an improvement over the Wind Wolf Armor blueprint heʼd gotten.

Then again, the young man did not expect the piece of armor to undergo that much of an improvement, only considering the defense it gave to be significantly higher than usual thanks to his titles and empowered Intent.

ʼIn a way, it kind of reminds me when everything clicked into place while I was upgrading Half Wyvern to Young Wyvern Armor,ʼ thought Valyr to himself as he continued to mull over it, feeling that the same thing happened this time around.

ʼBecause of that, it turned into Refined Young Wyvern Armor.ʼ

With that in mind, the young man decided to make it his goal to have all of the remaining pieces making up the set reach the same level of quality as the chestplate he just forged.

ʼConsidering that Iʼm saving [Breath of Beginnings] for when I upgrade all of these pieces to Gale Wolf Armor, Iʼll probably be in for a surprise.ʼ

ʼEven more so for the others when they see the final product.ʼ

Letting out a faint chuckle at his own thoughts, Valyr soon returned all of his attention towards the pieces of armor he was forging, moving through the various steps of the forging process without breaking a sweat.

At the same time, Tristan continued to go over the blueprints the young man tossed to him, only to finish by the time Valyr had finished forging the second piece of the improved Wind Wolf Armor set.

Seeing as the young man was forging the set of armor heʼd be forging in the near future, the man intently focused his gaze on Valyrʼs movements...

Only to lose track of it as the young man moved at speeds that made it difficult even for him to keep up.

ʼIsnʼt he still at the peak of Rank 3?ʼ inwardly muttered Tristan to himself, recalling the information heʼd obtained from the Blacksmith Guild on Valyr. ʼIʼm also at the peak of Rank 3, yet why is it so hard to follow his movements?ʼ

Faintly letting out a sigh at the thought he had in mind, Tristan eventually decided not to focus too much on Valyrʼs movements.

Instead, he decided to focus on the general flow of creating the Wind Wolf Armor through Valyrʼs movements, which was surprisingly a great success for him.

Though Valyr seemingly landed a flurry of hits at random with the multiple forging hammers he had, Tristan could more or less understand the general idea of what Valyr was doing, feeling his understanding of blacksmithing gradually expand as time passed.

Eventually, he felt himself sucked into the world Valyr was seeing while forging items, causing him to let out a sigh in wonder as he realized once more that the young man before him had reached a level of craftsmanship he could only aspire to reach.

ʼThough Iʼm the one who introduced him to blacksmithing, I wonder how long itʼll take me to get as good as him,ʼ thought Tristan to himself, shaking the thought off his head soon after as The let out a slight chuckle.

ʼOn second thought, I shouldnʼt be asking myself that question.ʼ

ʼIʼm sure Iʼll eventually become as good as him someday.ʼ

With that, it did not take long for only the sound of hammers clashing against metal to echo throughout the workshop the two were in, only stopping once the sun was merely a few hours

away from setting.

...

Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!

”And... done.”

Putting on the few finishing touches on the final piece making up the improved Wind Wolf Armor set, Valyr eventually beamed a grin as heʼd obtained a notification from the system that he was finally done with production.

Seeing that the system had classified the final piece as a part of the Ascended Wind Wolf Armor set heʼd inadvertently created, the young man inwardly let out a sigh of relief as he decided to take a break for the meantime.

Placing the Hammer of Beginnings back into his spatial bracelet, Valyr began to do a bit of stretching, which attracted the attention of the man accompanying him within the workshop. ”Youʼre finally... done?” asked Tristan as he stood up, letting out a yawn as he felt a wave of sleepiness wash over him.

”Yeah.” Valyr nodded at the question, only to notice the extreme weariness that was on Tristanʼs face. ”You know, you donʼt have to force yourself to stay up with me. You should really get some rest, especially since weʼre about to face the monster tide soon.” Letting out a long yawn in response, Tristan made his way to the finished set of improved Wind Wolf Armor before activating his identification skills on them. ”I know. Let me just take

a look at the armor you created.”

”Hmm?”

Though the man felt like heading to bed any time now, Tristanʼs sleepiness was briefly washed away as he checked the stats of the armor pieces Valyr forged, feeling them to be considerably different from the armor set that was written down on the blueprints he read. However, as he was only looking at them to satiate his curiosity, the man did not delve too deep into it, placing the armor pieces back where they originally were before deciding to bid farewell to the young man.

”Iʼll see you tomorrow, probably,” said Tristan, letting out another yawn as Valyr waved farewell back. ”You should also get some rest before the monster tide comes.”

”Iʼll keep that in mind,” replied Valyr, only returning his gaze to the workshop before him after Tristanʼs silhouette had fully disappeared from his sight.

”Alright. Onto the second phase.”

Feeling a bit hungry after pushing both physical and mental faculties to their utmost limits, Valyr made use of his authority within the Blacksmith Guild to have a staff member deliver a

meal to him.

Receiving the meal he requested not even a few minutes later, the young man wolfed down

every single bit of it, even going so far as to pop a mana potion from his spatial bracelet to

bring himself back to peak condition.

Feeling like he was ready to face off against a ton of monsters once more, Valyr brought out the Hammer of Beginnings from his spatial bracelet before placing one of the pieces making up the Ascended Wind Wolf Armor set on the anvil.

”Considering that itʼs the core of the entire set, I suppose itʼs only right that I use [Breath of Beginnings] on the chestplate,” said Valyr to himself as he thought out loud. ”On the other hand, Iʼll use [Breath of Wind] on the other remaining pieces.”

”Now that I think about it, I should really take the time to forge Legendary grade items for the remaining elements,” continued the young man, rubbing his chin for a bit. ”Not only would I complete some of my prerequisite quests by doing so, Iʼd also upgrade my Hammer of Beginnings fully to Legendary grade.”

”So far, Iʼve only forged the Supreme Blade of Primeval Flames, which improved [Breath of Flame] to be as good as [Breath of Beginnings] in some aspects.”

”Well, itʼs not like Iʼm in a rush.” Continuing to think about the matter for a bit more, Valyr eventually decided to shelf those thoughts for later. ”Then again, thinking about all of this does give me a few ideas.”

”After all, itʼs not like Iʼm penalized to use True Wyvern Armor every time. Thereʼs nothing stopping me from using a certain set of armor for a certain combat style.”

”Either way, Iʼll save all those for later.”

”For now... [Breath of Beginnings].”
