บท 85: Kingdom & Betrayal Quest Completed (3)
"Let's move on to the next item," Rasoul muttered before swiftly taking out an imposing head helmet. Crafted from a resilient, dark metal, the surface is adorned with intricate swirling patterns reminiscent of frosty tendrils.
The focal point of the helm showcases a menacing visage, characterized by sharp, angular lines that exude an intimidating aura. When activated, the frost runes emit an ethereal, icy blue light, producing an awe-inspiring and chilling effect.
"Is that one for me too?" Ragnar inquired promptly upon laying eyes on the helmet.
"It's tailor-made for you," Rasoul asserted before delving into the specifics of the helmet's abilities.
Abilities:
[Frosty Fortification]
>>When the berserker enters a frenzied state, the Hoarfrost Berserker's Helm activates a protective frost aura. This aura dramatically enhances the wearer's resilience, creating an icy shield that mitigates incoming damage.
[Frozen Resurgence]
>>The helm grants the berserker the ability to channel the power of the frost aura into a revitalizing force. During combat, the wearer can trigger Frozen Resurgence, instantly restoring a portion of their health and stamina.
[Chilling Presence]
>>The helm projects an intimidating Chilling Presence, causing nearby enemies to experience a temporary reduction in attack speed and accuracy. This effect instills fear and unease in foes, giving the berserker a strategic advantage in battle.
[Frostbound Fury]
>>Upon reaching the peak of their frenzied state, the helm unleashes Frostbound Fury, enveloping the berserker in an icy whirlwind. This whirlwind not only deals frost damage to nearby enemies but also leaves a lingering freezing effect, slowing down the movements of those caught within its grasp.
Rasoul handed the helmet to Ragnar, recognizing the impending battle was no trivial matter. Despite the ability to revive his subordinates upon their demise, he understood the importance of having them fight without limitations. After all, reviving them demanded more resources.
With the axe and helmet bestowed upon Ragnar, he returned to the remaining rewards. Retrieving the 'Beastmaster's Bestiary' book, he took a moment to appreciate it before delving into the intricate details and the benefits the book offered.

*****
Undoubtedly, the book stands as one of the most valuable possessions in Rasoul's arsenal. Within its pages lie a plethora of overpowered abilities that, once mastered, not only elevate the Beastmaster's prowess but also amplify the effects on the beasts under their command. Possessing this book grants the ability to create legions of magical beasts, making it a truly invaluable resource.
Recognizing that the book was not suitable for him or any of his subordinates, Rasoul securely stored it away for future consideration.
He proceeded to extract the 'Necronomicon of Forbidden Knowledge,' but swiftly stowed it away, then unleashed a frustrated scream at the system within his mind.
"What the hell, System? Is this something to be given as a gift," he exclaimed in a furious tone.
[Why alarmed, it's just a book]
'That is no ordinary book. I wouldn't give it to Magus or Rowan either. It's too dark,' he stated with a discerning tone.
[Then create a subordinate who can use it because, trust me when I say, that book contains secrets and forbidden arts that go beyond insanity], the System suggested
"Easier said than done," he complained. Although he desired such a subordinate, the challenge lay in finding the right materials. He was well aware that obtaining suitable items to create such subordinates wouldn't be an easy task.
[Before you wear that defeated look, know that you have an encyclopedia that has all the information you need. Try using your brain from time to time will you]
"You do realize I am the Supreme One. Show a little respect," he declared. Ever since Rasoul fused with the system, their bond continued to develop to new heights without either of them realizing it. The system persisted with its usual jabs, while Rasoul, being at the receiving end, continued to endure. What neither of them realized was that, despite their frequent banter, they liked each other, akin to siblings.
The system began assigning more quests to Rasoul, strategically choosing situations that could be easily avoided. It aimed to provide Rasoul with everything necessary to enhance the strength of his subordinates, cleverly using its like-for-fire points as a smokescreen to conceal its behind-the-scenes assistance. The system didn't want him to notice its covert support; it cherished their banter and aimed to maintain that dynamic.
With the system drawing his attention to the book, Rasoul decided to pursue the idea and create a subordinate so inherently dark that the book would struggle to exert any negative influence over him.

"This is more than I could ask for. Thank you, system," Rasoul expressed his gratitude with genuine joy. The assortment of valuable items received from the system provided a substantial boost to his plans for his subordinates. Despite his thanks, the system chose to ignore him.
He then accesses the legendary swords.
[Congratulations to the host for receiving a legendary Rank Dual Swords as a reward for completing a quest]
[The Gift: Harmony's Echo Singing Blades]
Rasoul immediately retrieved the legendary ranked dual swords.
A pair of exquisite twin blades forged with precision and elegance appear in his hands.
The blades, each about three feet in length, feature a unique curvature that contributes to their aerodynamic design. The steel blades are polished to a mirror-like finish, glinting in the light with a mesmerizing allure. Adorned with intricate engravings along the fuller, the hilt of each blade is wrapped in supple, deep-blue leather, providing a comfortable yet firm grip. The guard is crafted in the shape of musical notes, highlighting the weapon's thematic connection to harmony.
Immediately touching it the information about the swords appeared
[Harmony's Echo Singing Blades: Legendary]
--Twin blades with resonant edges that produce melodious sounds when swung. The harmonious vibrations not only enhance the cultivator's focus but also disorient and mesmerize foes.
Abilities:
[Melodic Resonance]
>>When swung, the blades produce resonant echoes, creating a symphony of melodious sounds. These harmonious vibrations enhance the cultivator's focus, sharpening their combat instincts and attuning them to the ebb and flow of battle.
[Disorienting Cadence]
>>The resonant edges of the blades disorient and confuse foes with their rhythmic vibrations. Opponents struck by the blades may find their senses temporarily disrupted, making it challenging for them to coordinate attacks or defend effectively.
[Mesmerizing Aura]
>>The blades emit an enchanting aura, captivating those in proximity. Enemies within a certain range become mesmerized by the ethereal sounds, momentarily entranced and vulnerable to follow-up attacks.
[Sonic Shield]
>>The harmonious vibrations generated by the blades can be manipulated to create a protective barrier. The cultivator can channel the resonant energy to form a temporary sonic shield, deflecting incoming projectiles or absorbing the impact of melee strikes.
[Echoing Strikes]
>>The blades can be swung with such speed and precision that each strike leaves behind lingering echoes. These echoes can confuse adversaries, making it challenging for them to predict the cultivator's next move.
[Harmony's Embrace]
>>In moments of intense focus, the cultivator can unleash a burst of harmonious energy from the blades. This energy envelops the wielder, providing a brief but potent boost to physical and mental attributes, amplifying their combat prowess.
'I will keep this for the time being. Valkyrie doesn't engage in sword fights so I might have to look for a suitable person to wield it...Rasoul thought inwardly for some time before storing the sword.
He proceeded to the next reward, but what he saw left his jaw-dropping like an idiot. The Ten Hidden Rewards were not something he could easily acquire with money or fire points.
