The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 892 Weapon Upgrades

Karl spent the rest of the afternoon making assorted items for the shop, in case someone with too much money came in while they were away, and then turned his attention to the equipment of the rest of the group.

Dana used a narrow, straight blade, Ophelia liked axes, though the form didn't matter as much as she usually fought transformed if it was serious. Lotus could use an upgraded healing staff, and Remi could use one for extra spell power, or lowered casting costs, as she liked to go all out with stacked area effects, which rapidly drained her mana pool.

It was extremely impressive, but in a longer battle, she really did struggle with her mana levels, and simply played it off as reducing the area output as the number of enemies dwindled.

That worked most of the time, but there was no telling what they were going to face in the near future. Especially not when they met with a Totem Ranked Lich Lord today. If that was the standard of all the attacking groups, they would have to hope that there were more combat oriented city leaders along the border.

It would make sense for most of them to be strong combatants, as they were bordering not only a hostile nation, but one full of undead, where the spread of their cursed energy could render land barren for years after they had occupied it.

In conditions like that, even occasional losses would be catastrophic, and recovery would be a generational process, not a simple matter of defeating the enemy next time, unless that next time came soon enough that the land hadn't lost its life force to the undead horde.
