Chapter 41

Greater Rewards

Glancing at the wall the Discordant Dragon had just passed through in his vision, Luke went and scooped up the miniature obelisk. It burned his skin with freezing cold, but Luke refused to let go.

“I. Was. Promised. Greater. Rewards,” he hissed through his clenched teeth.

The pain let up as if Luke won a bout. Something fell off the bottom of the crystalline thing as if it had been partially adhered to the bottom, released by his jostling.

He stared in surprise at what clattered to the altar.

“Yes, that’s much better,” Luke muttered to himself, slowly growing all too aware that perhaps he was long past stir-crazy.

The loop of metal was simple and unadorned. Transferring the cold obelisk to one of his sealed pockets, he picked up the ring and examined it.

It was infinitely light, unnaturally so. What he had thought at first was metal turned out to be shadow turned solid.

Item: [Umbral Ring (Epic)]

(Accessory)

A twisting shadow-forged band depicting a dragon biting its own tail as a symbol of infinity recognized across the multiverse. Steeped in the incredibly powerful Marks of the Discordant Dragon whose authority was once absolute in the third Epoch.

Enchantments: Creates sources of darkness and shadows.

Enchantments: Increases affinity to shadows, darkness and gravity. Raises resistance against magical attacks. Instill with mana to soulbind.

Requirements: [Mark of the Shadow Lord]

Luke stared at the description. The ring was perfect.

The [Umbral Ring’s] enchantments directly improved his powers over darkness and shadows.

So far, no other piece of equipment he came across was able to do that. He assumed spellbooks increased magic damage and capabilities for Mages. Much like a weapon does for a fighter like himself.

While he couldn’t control gravity, the ring was still remarkably good. Perhaps good enough to be worth the effort. Luke wasn’t sold just yet. The resistance to magical attacks would enhance his survivability and defenses, which made for a nice bonus.

Sliding the ring onto his middle finger, he flexed his hand into a fist. The skin-tight climbing gloves proved no restriction to the ring. He instilled mana into the ring to bind it to himself, and then realized there was another item he hadn’t even tried that with.

Taking out the silver pen from his cloak, Luke trickled a stream of mana into it. He was getting a lot faster with the process of instilling mana.

There was a subtle resistance, forcing him to increase the trickle to a steady flow as it broke through and linked Luke to the strange runic sword.

He felt a kinship with the weapon that was unrivaled by anything else he had experienced so far. As if he had a piece of his own past back in his possession.

“I wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t linked with you,” he said to the pen, putting it away. “Would the auditor have been able to take you back? This clearly isn’t a wands-switching-owner sort of thing.”

Eager to test his new piece of gear, Luke was particularly interested in what the enchantment did for creating sources of darkness and shadows precisely.
