Chapter 73: Excellent loot
Arthur could not help but feel much stronger after wearing the three magical artefacts he had looted from Elder Jonick, Elder Freya and an intermediate-rank elven swordsman who had ultimately fallen by Victor's hands:
[Elven Moonlight Pearl - Intermediate Grade Magical Artefact
An elven pearl refined and blessed by spirits over decades. As a result, this pearl is known to increase the resilience and sturdiness of the one wearing it.
Effect: +30 HP]
[Vine Ring - Low-grade Magical Artefact
An elven ring passed down for generations. Although the passage of time reduced its durability, it can still function very well.
Effect: Cast [Vine] spell, a powerful spell that create a [Vine] out of the caster's ring, shooting forward with tremendous force, dealing up to 25 points of damage. Can only be cast once a day]
[Jogorn Elven Tribe Stone - Intermediate-grade Magical Artefact
A stone that is said to be blessed by wind spirits
Effect: +1 Agility]
Elder Freya possessed another artefact, one that held enormous value, yet Arthur could not use it:
[Jogorn Elven Tribe Heirloom Pendant - High-grade magical artefact
A high-grade magical artefact crafted by the founder of the Jogorn Elven Tribe, a magus-level druid who was very proficient in magic. This magical artefact possesses tremendous power, to the point that many would kill for the sake of obtaining it. It is known to be the treasure that caused countless internal conflicts in the Jogorn Tribe. Eventually, it was decided that the strongest elder would be the one to possess it.
Effect : Increase the [Shapeshifting] Spell Proficiency by 50 points]
'If Evangeline learns the shapeshifting spell, then her strength would increase by leaps and bounds, qualifying her as a true core member of my acolyte hunting team...', Arthur analysed
Looking at his ring logs, Arthur smiled:

Research: [Frozen Warrior Creation] - Progress (28%)]
Perhaps this battle had proven that even without using his monstrous physical strength, he could dominate a battlefield. In the Porfield Kingdom, his enemies had little information on the path he was walking.
Of course, his true strength lied in close combat, but his enemies had no way of knowing that. The moment they underestimated him and try to kill him by closing the distance would be the moment they would die without even understanding why.
It was time to march towards the Jogorn Elven Village...
There, he would make sure to plunder anything of value, leaving nothing for those who dared to wage war against him.
