Bab 76: Chapter 76: The Extreme Protection Ring and Ice Burst Necklace
The tumultuous external situation did not affect Sunan's farming and development.
As the end of the month of Summer Grove approached, Sunan constructed the ninth star ring shortly after celebrating his nineteenth birthday.
With that, he had completed half of the requirements to advance to a level 3 wizard apprentice.
In the meditation room, Sunan sat cross-legged on the floor, gazing at the panel floating in the air.
**[Sunan Ayanest, Male Human]**
**[Mental: 25.35 / Physical: 17.88]**
**[Skills]**
- Star Ring Meditation Method Lv10 (35/300000)
- Potion Making Lv4 (781/10000)
- Biological Modification Lv2 (1402/3000)
- Puppet Crafting Lv3 (457/6000)
- Magic Item Manufacturing Lv2 (1532/3000)
Looking at the data on the panel, a smile of joy appeared on Sunan's face.
"Next, I just need to raise my mental power to 30 to advance to a level 3 wizard apprentice."
Sunan calculated that the Nightmare Potion could at least increase his mental power by 2 points.
This meant he needed to raise his mental power to above 28.
"Currently, I only increase my mental power by 0.01 points per day through meditation. To reach 28 points, it will take about eight to nine months."
"Considering that it becomes increasingly difficult to grow mental power, it may take even longer."
"It's a pity that I'm already at my limit with the second-tier potions. If I could use a third-tier super potion, my meditation efficiency would improve even more."
Sunan felt a twinge of regret.
That said, being able to advance to a level 3 wizard apprentice before turning twenty was already quite impressive.
At least in the current Starry Continent, he didn't believe there were many wizard apprentices whose rate of improvement could compare to his.
Shaking off the greedy thoughts, Sunan stood up and left the meditation room, heading towards the workshop.
The manufacturing and synthesis of faint-glow level magic items were nearing completion.
During this time, he had crafted over twenty defensive rings and Ice Burst Necklaces.
According to the information he received from the magic cube, he had nearly reached the synthesis limit for faint-glow level magic items.
After making one last defensive ring and Ice Burst Necklace in the workshop, Sunan began the synthesis process.
First, he worked on the defensive ring, adding a total of twenty-five items.
This quantity was the limit for faint-glow level; any more would transform into a magic artifact.
With a flash on the synthesis interface, a new magic item was born.
**[Extreme Protection Ring (Faint-Glow / Low Magic Item)]**
*When the wearer is hit by damage, an invisible protective field automatically forms around their body. It can also be activated actively, with a defense value of 1000/1000. The defense value can be restored by infusing mental power or automatically absorbing stray energy particles.*
Compared to the alchemical-grade protective ring he had received from Amy's master, the Extreme Protection Ring did not have usage limitations; instead, it featured a defense value.
This isn't necessarily a comparison of superiority or inferiority.
However, the fact that it passively activates protection at the moment of receiving damage was particularly appealing to Sunan.
After all, no one could guarantee they would always be able to react in time when ambushed.
With this feature, he could at least worry less about being caught off guard in the future.
Sunan then summoned the steel golem to assist in testing the defense performance of the Extreme Protection Ring.
The results were highly satisfactory.
Standing still and applying no additional defenses, the steel golem attacked with all its might for over a minute before finally breaking through the protection of the Extreme Protection Ring.
This was a legendary knight-level full-force attack!
This meant that if Sunan encountered an opponent of Hodge's caliber in the future, he could fight without any defense for at least a minute.
And in battle, allowing a wizard apprentice to cast spells without concern for a full minute meant the consequences were clear.
With Sunan's current mental power and spellcasting proficiency, a minute was enough time to unleash thirty to forty spells.
"Truly the highest level faint-glow magic item!"
Sunan felt a surge of joy.
Faint-glow level magic items were the highest grade that wizard apprentices could utilize.
The Extreme Protection Ring he created was synthesized at the very limit of faint-glow level, making it significantly more powerful than ordinary faint-glow items.
It's no wonder its defensive capabilities were so impressive.
After testing the Extreme Protection Ring, Sunan started synthesizing the Ice Burst Necklace.
**[Ice Burst Necklace (Faint-Glow / Low Magic Item)]**
*Upon activation, it releases an extreme cold shockwave centered around the wearer, covering a radius of one hundred meters. All creatures within this range will suffer ice damage and receive a freezing slow effect. The closer they are to the wearer, the greater the damage. After use, it requires recharging to activate again.*
Again, the steel golem served as the test subject.
Having witnessed the impressive performance of the Extreme Protection Ring, Sunan was a bit more cautious, instructing the steel golem to stand thirty meters away before activating the Ice Burst Necklace.
Crack!
In an instant, an intensely cold wave, almost capable of freezing bone marrow, descended!
A visible white frost erupted from Sunan, instantly filling every inch of space within a hundred-meter radius.
The steel golem, not far away, quickly became covered in a thick layer of frost.
A pale blue ice layer emerged from its feet, swiftly climbing up towards its ankles.
Crack! Crack!
Within the blink of an eye, the steel golem had been frozen into a solid ice sculpture.
Although it shattered the ice layer and broke free almost immediately with its immense strength, its movements were notably hindered, slowed down significantly.
Sunan quickly deactivated the Ice Burst Necklace, leaving the air still tinged with a bone-chilling cold.
Under the terrifying cold, the ground within a hundred meters was completely encased in frost, forming a thin layer of light blue ice.
"Impressive!"
Sunan's face lit up with surprise.
The power of the Ice Burst Necklace exceeded his expectations!
It's important to note that the steel golem, being a construct, already had high resistance to elemental damage. Yet, from thirty meters away, it still suffered significant damage and was physically affected, demonstrating just how formidable the Ice Burst Necklace was.
If a flesh-and-blood being were hit from just two or three meters away, even a legendary knight like Hodge would likely suffer severe injuries, if not worse.
"The Ice Burst Necklace and the Extreme Protection Ring are a perfect combination!"
Sunan's eyes sparkled with excitement.
If the Ice Burst Necklace had such powerful effects, then a purely damage-oriented faint-glow level magic item would surely be even more terrifying!
Sunan felt a twinge of eagerness, wishing he could create one immediately.
However, recalling the materials he had consumed to craft the Extreme Protection Ring and the Ice Burst Necklace, that impulse quickly faded.
He currently had less than a hundred gold coins left in hand.
Until the profits from the new potions came in, he wouldn't be able to manufacture more faint-glow level magic items.
"My income is still too low; there are many things I can't do."
Sunan sighed softly.
The most direct way to increase income was to expand the scale of potion sales.
However, he couldn't possibly spend too much time on potion-making; he was already at his limit.
He could only wait for Sherman and the others to grow up and learn how to make potions before considering scaling up.
