After buying those items, Ethan equipped them and then began to harness the chaos energy around him and transfer them to the items. Maybe it was because their quality was high, but Ethan didn\'t find any trouble in the process. After ten minutes, he enhanced the first set to the point that it became four times better.. even the skill to actually upgrade items wasn\'t that good.
"Try to use this and tell me what you think," Ethan said while passing Ian the first set.
"... How the hell can you make those appear out of nowhere?" Ian asked. "Your system makes no sense… they seem fine. I don\'t think that the energy is affecting me, and it isn\'t like it became a cursed item either."
As Ethan delved deeper into the chaotic energy, a profound transformation took place within him. Drawing upon his newfound understanding and control, he channeled the raw power and redirected it toward enhancing his items. The energy, once volatile and unpredictable, succumbed to his will, transforming into a more refined and focused form.
However, the toll of this immense power on Ethan\'s mind was not to be underestimated. The relentless exposure to chaotic energy, even in its controlled state, left its mark on his psyche. It caused a deep-seated disturbance within him, a maelstrom of conflicting emotions and fragmented thoughts that threatened to unravel his mental stability.
Despite the turmoil brewing within him, Ethan hid the extent of his inner struggle from his friends. He maintained his usual facade, careful not to let them see the cracks in his resolve. He understood that his mental state was a price he had to pay in his pursuit of power, and he was determined to protect his friends from unnecessary worry.
"All right, do you guys want some good equipment as well?" Ethan asked. "I got a lot of coins in the previous battle, after all."
"Are you completely sure that this process isn\'t damaging you?" Emily asked after she approached Ethan and looked him in the eye. "My intuition says that it can\'t be that easy…"
"You have the downgraded version of woman\'s intuition, girl\'s Intuition," Ethan said. "It is a lot less effective, so you are wrong."
Emily wasn\'t convinced, even though she was a bit angry at the words. Regardless, everyone there knew that they needed some more help to fight the enemies, and they couldn\'t deny that power up.
Ethan enhanced the second and third set and then bought a magic set for Anna and Mary as well. The first would increase her summoning skills, and the other would enhance the ice magic for Mary.
The final one was Emily, and Ethan didn\'t know what it would be good for her. A copy of Aline\'s seemed like it would be a waste… fortunately, Ethan found a new set that he hadn\'t seen before, and it seemed too good to be true.
Chronosphere Staff
Intelligence: +800
Effect: Temporal Shift - The user can tap into the power of the Chronosphere Staff to manipulate time around themself. This ability allows them to briefly accelerate or decelerate time, granting them enhanced speed and reflexes or slowing down their opponents\' movements. This temporal manipulation provides a decisive advantage in combat, enabling the time mage to strike swiftly or evade attacks with precision.
Temporal Cloak
Speed: +200
Defense: +400
Effect: Temporal Rift - When activated, the Temporal Cloak creates a localized rift in the fabric of time around the user. This rift distorts the flow of time, causing incoming attacks to pass through the mage as if they were out of sync with the present moment. This effect grants the time mage enhanced evasion and defense, making it difficult for enemies to land precise attacks.
Chrono Boots
Speed: +500
Defense: +400
Effect: Time Dilation - The Chrono Boots imbue the time mage with the ability to manipulate the flow of time within a limited area. When activated, the boots create a temporal field that slows down time for enemies within its range. This effect provides the user with a significant advantage, allowing them to act with increased speed and reaction time while leaving their opponents seemingly sluggish and vulnerable.
