Chapter 408: 408
「Celestial Coronet – Ornamental Item
Rank: Pseudo-Divine
Durability: 100,000,000/100,000,000
Effects:
Passive 1 – Dominant Mind: All entities who gaze into the central eye of the coronet will lose their sense of self and become a thrall of the Celestial Goddess who wears it . The effectiveness depends on the comparative strength of both parties .
Passive 2 – Mind Guard: Total Immunity to all mental attacks, curses or debuffs of any kind . All mental damage received is perfectly reflected to the attacker .
Active 1 – Mental Domain: Cast a buff on all allies within the range of one's perception that grants them a 70% increase in attributes and a 50% increase in their defenses and resistances for as long as the user has mental stamina to burn . Cooldown: 1 month .
Description: A unique coronet made by a fledgling yet talented Grandmaster, it has the ability to grant the wearer supreme powers of the mind, mostly in control and defense . Due to its material base, it cannot be upgraded, but it will also never lose its effect . 」
Draco was surprised . He also greatly regretted not waiting to do the Enchantment first before claiming the rewards for the creation, but he also knew that he wouldn't have become a Grandmaster that way .
He now understood even better why his Aether cheat method had been deemed as a breakthrough by the system and catapulting him into Grandmaster that was one step away from becoming a God . When he had made Epic pieces of equipment as a Blacksmith, his Aether-Infused Enchantments had been able to bring them up to the Semi-Legendary level, especially if he used a taboo rune .
Now that the item in question had been crafted at the Legendary Rank, what would happen if he were to slap on a Legendary Enchantment with not one, not two, but three different taboo runes?
Well, the answer was quite clear, wasn't it? Not to mention that the item itself he created was - as the description said - very unique due to the material he used as its base . Only someone who lived in the old era would even consider splurging 3 top-grade Aether Crystals for a weapon when that amount could easily buy him many weapons outright .
Added to that were the jewels he used which were perfect for focusing psychic abilities, so the base item had manifested special and powerful base effects of the psychic category .
As stated earlier, these would merge with the incumbent Enchantments and decide the ease of the merger . After blending with the taboo rune filled Enchantment fueled by the energy of 20 top-grade Aether Crystals, it had just overshot all the requirements for a top-tier Legendary item .
However, the end result was far worse . Pseudo- and Semi- prefixes on items were vastly different . The former meant that the item had only 1-10% of the standard power an item of the 'full' Rank would have, while the latter meant that the item had around 50% of that power .
For the Mana Sword, his crafting technique had simply not been up to par, bringing the quality of the item down . Similarly, his Enchantments had been barely up to speed, which further dragged the quality of the final product down .
In this case, it was similar but different . The base item had been at the pinnacle of the Legendary Rank, and it was intricately tied with the Rank in question . Aether could not downgrade below Legendary, for it would become Worldly, and could not climb above Legendary, for that would be Divine .
In this case, it was the base material dragging it down . Rather, the technique Draco used had been above par, and what truly made the day was the Enchantment he used, which forced the item above its constraints, sending it to Pseudo-Divine, but it could go no further for obvious reasons .
Shit, no wonder why placing it on the item had one-shot Draco . Even though the Enchantment couldn't be called a Divine one, it was not too far off and possessed unique qualities that emulated that Rank .
A mere Rank 2 dog playing with such things, why wouldn't he die?
Draco closely inspected the effects . The first passive practically made Eva a true Goddess, and it would merge perfectly with her Celestial Maiden Inheritance .
Well, that was what Draco intended, so it could be called a grand success in that case . However, Eva wouldn't be able to subjugate just anyone, only those at her level probably, but definitely those below .
If Draco had to guess, it would depend on the strength of will, power, and State of Being of the one who foolishly gazed into the Cat's Eye Jewel in the center of the crown .
The second passive was simply awesome and better than he hoped for . He chose the Divine Fortitude runes for the execution stage precisely because he wanted something that would offer Eva mental defense .
He had expected something like increase mental defense/resistance +80%, but even he did not dream of it reaching total immunity to all attacks of that category! Fine, if it had been just that, he would nod his head in pleasure, probably pondering that he must be greater than he realized, but it also reflected all mental damage sent to Eva by 100%!
There were many boss monsters out there who would be deemed 'impossible' to beat since they used mental attack which players literally had zero resistance against, unless they had certain classes or special items .
Eva wouldn't even need to fight them thanks to that effect . She could just have a barbecue party while the monster basically killed itself by attacking her . Draco knew of many situations in which Eva would need such a thing, and this could be described as an absolute win .
As for the active skill, it was a crowd buff skill that would assist all her allies within the range of her perception . The hard limit for this was basically the range of her Control, since she didn't have something like the Eyes of Caelo .
All-in-all, Draco would rate this crown a solid 9 . 5/10 compared to all the top-tier items he had seen in this life .
