Chapter 160: Distribution
Due to his Ruler skill related to movent still being activated all the while he was trying to find other thods to enhance his clone’s power, it did not take long for Aurus to arrive in the alliance base, teleporting to the center of the main hall in less than 30 seconds or so.
Whoosh!
At the very mont he had appeared in the main hall, he had obtained the attention of quite a few mbers of the alliance, their senses of vision looking towards where Aurus appeared. Of course, the reason why he had only obtained quite a bit of attention was due to the fact that the mbers were just starting to head into the main hall. If he had co later, it was certain that almost everyone that had congregated into the main hall would be staring at him with auras of slight stupefaction.
Nonetheless, since only a few mbers were currently in the main hall, Aurus decided to act his part of the alliance as a Pillar level mber and asked them to line up properly as they waited for Herellia to co to the main hall. Fortunately, most of the mbers followed what Aurus told them to do after recalling the show of power he did when beca an Executive level mber of the alliance. As for those that did not recall it, they instead followed what Aurus told them due to the aura of a Pillar level mber surrounding his body.
Gradually, more and more mbers congregated into the main hall, slowly but surely making the main hall a bit more noisy as ti passed by. Eventually, all of the mbers had congregated into the main hall, with the Pillar level mbers of the alliance helping Aurus out in maintaining order and peace amongst the mbers in the main hall. At this point in ti, they were only waiting for Herellia to arrive since most of them were told by her to co to the main hall.
Other than Aurus, no one else knew why Herellia called them to congregate in the main hall. Fortunately, it did not take long for her to arrive, appearing in a slightly extravagant fashion as her body was covered in red tendrils before spreading open to reveal her body filled to the brim with red engravings. Just as she removed the tendrils covering her body, Aurus could not help but notice that the aura that the red engravings gave out were more intense than before, as if the red engravings were hiding so sort of greater power that would allow Herellia to destroy even a Pseudo-Animate in one attack.
Nevertheless, this was just a passing thought as he waited for Herellia to call him over and talk about his equipnt sets. Surprisingly, rather than getting straight to the point and calling him at the very start of the eting, Herellia decided to call a few Pillar level mbers to modify a bit of the main hall to create a stage for her to be seen by everyone. At this point in ti, Aurus could not help but wonder what she was thinking.
“Everyone, I’m glad you listened to my call, congregating in this main hall on this very fine day.” Herellia started to talk after a makeshift stage out of raised ground was made. “I’m sure we all know that everyone here is preparing for the inevitable war between one of our greatest enemies in this Tempest Cliff, crafting multiple trump cards that would help oneself, a group, or even all of us.”
“I would like everyone to know that a certain mber in our alliance has crafted a trump card that would allow everyone to have greater survivability, as well as deal more damage against our enemies in the upcoming war.” While saying this, an excited aura radiated out of Herellia as she focused her sense of vision towards one of the mbers below the raised ground.
“I would like to invite Aurus up on this stage and tell us about the new trump card he has made.” Soon after, this aura was mixed with a hint of happiness as well, as well as a hint of confidence, though no one knew where the latter ca from.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as his na was ntioned, everyone in the main hall turned their bodies around to focus their sense of vision towards Aurus, who finally got what Herellia was trying to do.
‘Does she want to be recognized by everyone or sothing? I don’t really know what she’s trying to do,’ Aurus thought to himself as he teleported on the surface of the raised ground in the matter of an instant, avoiding the possible gazes he would’ve gotten if he had just slowly hovered towards the raised ground. Looking at the alliance mbers that were looking at him, waiting for him to start saying stuff, he imitated the sound of an Animate clearing their throat before starting.
“Hello everyone, my na is Aurus. I’m pretty sure most of you know as that Executive level mber that did a show of power quite so ti ago.” Aurus started to speak, his mind turning its gears at the limit to make sure that he did not beat around the bush that much.
“I stand here on this stage today to tell everyone that I have created a trump card that would allow everyone to survive the war with greater chances, and even deal more damage to the enemies one would co across in the war.” After saying this, he commanded the system in his mind to open his weapon inventory, revealing a small rift over his wooden sculpture body. The rift caught the attention of everyone in the main hall, making sure that everyone could see what Aurus was grabbing through his tendrils made out of FP.
Not long after, a set of armor and weapons was revealed to everyone in the alliance. Holding it up with tendrils, Aurus then said, “This is the trump card I show to you today. These are sothing I crafted called equipnt sets. These equipnt sets enhance the abilities of the wearer to a great extent, allowing them to move unhindered amongst those with the sa level of power.”
“Alliance Leader, could you please move forward and demonstrate the effects of the equipnt set.” While continuing to hold the equipnt set upwards, Aurus looked at Herellia, who was beside him, and asked her to move forward, to which Herellia obliged without a problem.
“I have already given our alliance leader an equipnt set in order for others to see how the equipnt set is used,” Aurus continued to talk as an equipnt set manifested in front of Herellia in a matter of an instant. Not long after, Herellia positioned herself to where her body overlapped over the equipnt set before shouting, “Wear Equipnt Set.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In a matter of an instant, the pieces of armor made their way towards Herellia’s body, covering her whole body with three pieces of armor, while a barrier surrounding her body constituted the fourth piece of armor in the equipnt set. Soon after, the weapon ca into contact with Herellia’s body, gradually fusing with it as the aura that emanated from her body radiated with greater intensity, giving everyone the feeling that her combat power had reached a level beyond what an X-grade Inanimate could possibly unleash.
Add on the quality of the equipnt set being translucent thanks to the material used, it also gave everyone a feeling that Herellia was so sort of otherworldly Inanimate being, an Inanimate that stood beyond all Inanimates.
Seeing as how everyone watching Herellia wear the equipnt set were srized, Aurus decided to create a large ball of FP above everyone in the main hall before letting it burst, creating a loud sound that snapped everyone back to reality as everyone started to cheer for Aurus and his equipnt set.
Although Aurus did not mind doing it for the alliance since it had taken care of him, he was still happy to see that the mbers were supportive of what he had done. Telling Herellia to move back, Aurus went to the front once more and said, “Everyone, I have crafted two type of equipnt sets for everyone to use. The first equipnt set is called ‘Blessed by the Heavens’ and it is ant for all of the mbers in the alliance to have. This equipnt set will increase your defensive and offensive properties against anything you face against.”
“As for those at the Pillar level,” Aurus continued, before adding, “You will have another type of equipnt set to use nad ‘Devourer of the Living’. This equipnt set is ant to increase the damage dealt to Animates, which will definitely be useful in the upcoming war.”
“I shall now be distributing all of the equipnt sets right now since we have no idea when our greatest enemy will attack,” Aurus said after that, asking a few mbers to create ramps on both sides of the raised ground. “Pillar level mbers, please co up on stage and I shall distribute the ‘Blessed by the Heavens’ and ‘Devourer of the Living’ sets to you.”
Not long after that, all of the Pillar level mbers, who helped him maintain order in the main hall a while ago, made their way up through the ramps as Aurus gave them the equipnt sets one by one. After the Pillar level mbers were the Executive level mbers, who only obtained a ‘Blessed by the Heavens’ set unlike the Pillar level mbers before them.
The sa went for the normal mbers of the alliance. Nevertheless, both the Executive level and normal mbers of the alliance were already ecstatic to obtain a single equipnt set, seeing as their combat power has been boosted by a great degree after equipping the equipnt set they obtained. Noticing this, Aurus radiated an aura of happiness, seeing as how everyone decided to wear the equipnt set right now rather than later, which would end up becoming an advantage for the alliance later on.
“I have now given all of the equipnt sets I have to the mbers of the alliance,” Aurus said to catch everyone’s attention, which it successfully did. He then urged Herellia to co forward through exchange of energy, to which Herellia did as she said, “This marks the end of the eting. I hope everyone continues to improve their combat power for the upcoming war, and make sure to practice the thod I’ve given to everyone.”
After that, all of the alliance mbers dispersed one by one while so were left behind modifying the raised ground back to flat ground again. Then, after those who were left behind dispersed as well, only Aurus and Herellia remained in the main hall by themselves.
“It seems you have sothing else to talk about?” Herellia looked at Aurus in front of her and asked.
Aurus radiated an aura of affirmation as he replied, “Indeed, I do. Since you’re the alliance leader, I’ve decided to make an equipnt set befitting an alliance leader, enhancing your combat abilities to its limit.”
Whoosh!
A rift appeared for a short bit, revealing an equipnt set that was glowing a faint red and white light, with the red being more common than the white. He grabbed this equipnt set and brought it out for Herellia to see, saying, “This set is called ‘Marchioness of Blood’. It enhances the abilities of your skills by quite a decent amount, and even allow you to heal yourself while taking damage.”
He then placed it down in front of Herellia, to which Herellia equipped without hesitation, replacing the ‘Devourer of the Living’ equipnt set he was wearing before. At the very instant the equipnt set was finished fitting itself around Herellia’s body, the aura radiating from her had intensified even further, even more intense when compared to the aura brought about by equipping the ‘Devourer of the Living’ set.
Herellia closed her sense of vision for a bit before opening it and looking at Aurus in silence. After a short while, she then asked Aurus, “Is it alright if you beco the alliance’s vice leader?”
“I’d be glad to,” Aurus radiated an aura of affirmation. He then asked, “Do I have to go to the Alliance Hall for the ritual again?”
“No need,” Herellia replied. “I just rembered a couple of days ago that you don’t really have to go to the Alliance Hall to promote your position.”
“I see…” Aurus responded back, extending the last syllable by quite a bit. After noticing that the atmosphere around was quite awkward, Aurus dryly chuckled before saying, “I guess I’ll be off then.”
In response, Herellia chuckled as well before replying, “Go ahead. Stay safe.”
Whoosh!
And so, after bidding farewell, Aurus teleported towards the Tower of Seclusion yet one more ti. The reason as to why is because he was about to start formulating a Tempering skill for Argentum.
