Chapter 400 - Amaterasu’s Sacred Sun Fire Ring
-----
Frank opened his eyes once more as the flashing light had dissipated, the hairpin was already on his hands, and its essence had slowly been suppressed. Even more, the lava-filled cave also disappeared, as the domain the essence of the treasure was generating dissipated.
"My lord? Asked Kaguya.
"Ah… How much time passed?" asked Frank.
"Hm? Just a few seconds," said Kaguya.
"Oh… When I touched the hairpin, my consciousness was sent inside of Amaterasu's Divine Realm. Your grandmother seemed fine. I used my abilities to heal her though, and as thanks, she kissed my cheek," said Frank.
"S-She did what? And you met her?!" asked Kaguya..
"Indeed…" said Frank.
"I can't believe Amaterasu-sama has kissed my lord before me! Ah… Well, I am happy for it, she's my grandmother, it must have been an honor, my lord," said Kaguya.
"I don't know about that, it was very unexpected… But she said it was more than just a simple kiss," said Frank.
"More than a simple kiss…?" wondered Kaguya.
"Indeed… I… Eh?"
Frank suddenly realized that this kiss was indeed not simple!
Within his chest, something was pulsating constantly, infusing his body with searing flames.
The sacred fire continued to spread across Frank's body as it was constantly being absorbed. Kaguya noticed this as she opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"Amazing, my lord… What is this?" she asked.
"I don't know but… I can clearly feel the power that her kiss has given to me… It is as if I had gained a bit of her power," said Frank.
"So amazing! I couldn't expect less from my lord!" said Kaguya.
However, Frank felt that it wasn't enough, he needed something else to trigger the full extent of this power…
The hairpin.
Frank glanced at the Hairpin as he thought that he would have to replace another of his accessories, after all, he was fully equipped with them. But all of them had been recently upgraded by him with many divine materials so they could give him better stats, replacing one of them felt a bit bad.
However, weren't limitations made to be broken?
Frank used his System Admin Skill and manipulated his own System. After all, this was his own power. Why would he let him limit his own progress? If he wanted to equip another accessory, why couldn't he?
He forced his way into the System's functions and through the power he had over it, he generated several new files in the span of a split of a second!
Ding!
[Exchange 1.500.000 App Points to unlock a new Accessory Slot?]
And there it was! By spending App Points, Frank was able to open new Accessory Slots! The limit? He supposed that as many as he could fit around his body, he had many fingers, so the hairpin became a fiery and golden ring, and he decided to wear it in one of them.
Ding!
[You exchanged 1.500.000 App Points!]
[A new Accessory Slot has been created!]
Frank equipped the ring into this slot immediately, as he felt the new rush of power surge through his body, at the same time, he saw the Ring's abilities.
…
[Amaterasu's Sacred Sun Fire Ring (Phantasmal-Rank)]
Stat Bonuses: [+2.200.000 Divine Energy], [+1.000.000 Aether], [+800.000 Ki], [+600.000 Fate]
Skill Bonuses: [Great Divine Protection of Amaterasu], [Sacred Divine Sun Fire Divinity Aura], [Sacred Sun Fire Magic]
Special Effects: Super Enhanced Magic Resistance, Super High Fire Resistance, Partial Fire Absorption (20%), Fire Magic Mastery, Light Magic Mastery, Indestructible, Self-Repair, Divinity Enhancement.
…
One thing to note before anything was that above SSS-Rank in item grade, there were new grades, namely Unique, Mythic, Legendary, Phantasmal, Heavenly, Divine, and so on! Frank had managed to upgrade his previous equipment by fusing it over new divine materials and much other equipment he had, reaching Mythic Rank with all of them.
However, this Ring was already at Phantasmal, two whole Ranks above the others! This was perhaps why he had not considered fusing it over an already existing Ring.
The item before Frank could only be described as wondrous. Its bonus stats were amazing, and its special effects were also great, giving Frank yet another stack of resistance, the ability to absorb 20% of all fire damage into Vitality and Mana, and an enhancement to Fire and Light Magic! Lastly, the item was indestructible to an extent, and could also self-repair although such a thing seemed like a contradiction… and lastly of lastly, he also received an enhancement to his Divinity by merely wearing this ring! The only downside it had is that it lacked Rune Orifices, but it wasn't as if there were new Runes that could give Frank something nice, they seemed rather outdated now. Although he had been planning on creating Runes too.
"Amazing!"
And even more, the abilities it had… Frank learned them right away!
Ding!
[You learned the [Great Divine Protection of Amaterasu], [Sacred Divine Sun Fire Divinity Aura], and [Sacred Sun Fire Magic] Skill!]
With this, he got just what he wanted, a new Magic!
Frank immediately opened his palms as he generated divine sacred fire out of thin air!
FLAASSSH!
"Ooh! Such a splendorous fire, my lord!" said Kaguya.
"It seems that this worked better than I had expected… This is excellent. Perhaps every inheritance might harbor an artifact that could grant me the power of an element…" said Frank.
"Certainly! Is my lord planning to take over every inheritance?" asked Kaguya.
"Well, not like you put it as…" said Frank.
Frank walked back to the surface as he meet his group, some of them had managed to gain new power. Especially Gwendolyn and Annabelle, who had been brought through teleportation to find new spells. The two girls with the fire attribute were the most benefited, gaining new and powerful spells.
Matsuo was also allowed to pick stuff from here, which he felt bad about doing, so he didn't accept the gift, but Kamei did, and she got a lot of new light attribute spells, one of them was the Light Clone Technique, which gave her the ability to create clones made of light.
After things were done, everyone moved back to the tower to have dinner inside the clan.
