Chapter 976 - Sacred Set - Abak! (1/2)

The remaining Inheritance of Arcana was in the hands of another Level 190 Demonified Lord. Within 20 minutes, Nie Yan traveled to the underworld and killed it before teleporting back to Okoron with Instant Transmission.

As usual, Nie Yan hid his appearance behind a black cloak as he headed to his personal storage.

If it weren’t for aiding World Bloc’s expansion into the virtual reality market or so many brothers relying on Asskickers United to feed their families, Nie Yan would rather spend his time as an ordinary player; levelling, looking for treasure, and haggling over prices in the marketplace. However, since he’d decided to walk the path of a hegemon, he could no longer enjoy the privilege of the common man.

Nie Yan deposited everything he didn’t need into the Asskickers United guild treasury. After which he withdrew all the materials he previously asked Guo Huai to collect, including the Dark Void Iron.

Nie Yan glanced at the five Inheritance Gems in his bag and arranged them according to the description in the Glimpse of Light. A multicoloured radiance instantly lit up the surroundings.

Do you wish to upgrade the Tyrant Abak Set?

Yes!

Nie Yan hit confirm without hesitation. BANG! BANG! BANG! The five Inheritance Gems shattered as eight streams of light fell over the Tyrant Abak Set. After which the entire set blazed with a five-coloured radiance.

This upgrade boosted the defense of the six armour pieces and the attack of the two daggers. Apart from this, there were six new stat bonuses.

Even though the upgrade wasn’t world shattering, it was still fairly decent. However, Nie Yan had no interest in taking a closer look at the changes in the Tyrant Abak Set. He wanted to smelt them into a brand new Chaos set first! That upgrade would help it become a whole new beast!

After finishing up his business in Okoron, Nie Yan teleported to the Hardrock Mountain Valley. He arrived outside the entrance of Craftsman God Bronnick’s thatch hut and entered inside.

Craftsman God Bronnick appeared noticeably more respectful than before. This was only natural. Nie Yan had just received the Legendary Thief and Great Hell Judge titles. So, his status was much higher.

“Bronnick, I gathered all the materials you requested.” Nie Yan brought out a large pile of crafting materials. Apart from this, he also handed over the eight pieces of the Tyrant Abak Set and Paternoster's Warhammer.

“That’s perfect, sir Nirvana Flame. Please step back a little. I’ll get to work right away,” Craftsman God Bronnick said.

“Uhm, before you do that. While I was out adventuring in the wilderness, I encountered some strange metals that I couldn’t identify. I wonder if you can appraise them for me first?” Nie Yan asked.

“I’m willing to serve,” Bronnick replied.

Nie Yan took out the items he found in Hell. There were more than several thousand ores as well as nine Ancient Scales.

Bronnick’s eyes swept over the pile before falling on the Ancient Scales, which instantly grabbed his attention. He emotionally said, “T-these ores, these scales! My God! Sir Nirvana Flame, just where did you find them? According to legends, they can only be found in the depths of Hell! In the far and ancient past, Hell was once a treasured mining site of the human race. It was only later on that the servant of the Death God forcefully occupied it and turned it into a bleek realm of death. God hasn’t descended in the mortal world for several millennia. Now, Archangel Tallod guards the Gates of Hell, preventing anyone aligned with the Evil Faction from entering, and malevolent undead inside from escaping into the human world. Could it be that you found a way in?”

“Correct. At the behest of Archangel Tallod, I entered Hell to complete a quest and obtained these materials along the way.”

Bronnick had a deep look of veneration.

Nie Yan inwardly chuckled. He knew his way around NPCs. With Bronnick, as long as someone as great as Archangel Tallod was mentioned, he’d instantly be awed.

“Could you tell me what these ores are used for?”

“You have to carefully examine their composition, then refine them. 2,000 refined ancient ores can be smelted into a special alloy that won’t lose out to any void metal. It can be used together with the Dark Void Iron to remake the Tyrant Abak Set. As for the Ancient Scales, they can be used to bolster the defense of any armour,” Bronnick explained.

Nie Yan’s heart shook. These materials would make his Tyrant Abak Set even better? That surely meant it would reach the Sacred-grade, right?

“Sounds good. Please, use as many of them as you need.” Nie Yan didn’t hesitate to hand over the materials he’d collected from Hell over to Bronnick.
