Ats moved on to the Rank-A ticket. He touched it briefly, feeling it pulse with energy. The ticket grew brighter, expanding in size until the glow faded, revealing…
A cloak?
He picked up the item to i it.
[You have received Rank-A Item: Mana Glider Cloak]
[Enables short bursts of flight using mana.]
“A Mana Glider Cloak? Iing.”
The cloak had a modern design, plete with long sleeves and an attached hood that blended seamlessly with its structure. Without hesitation, Ats slipped it on.
“Wait…” he muttered.
Wouldn’t this pair perfectly with the jumping booster bracelet I just got?
Curious and eager, Ats decided to test the new bination.
He expihe cloak’s funality to the others, who responded with as muthusiasm as he had.
The synergy betweewo items was obvious—it was a match made for aerial dominance.
Croug slightly, Ats prepared to leap.
This time, he pushed off with full forbsp;
His body surged upward, the ground trembling slightly from the powerful thrust. He rocketed into the sky, just as he had before, only now with eveer iy.
“Woah!” he excimed, still amazed by the height.
Mid-air, he activated the Mana Glider Cloak’s ability.
A surge of power coursed through him as the cloak’s mana burst into a, lifting him further into the air.
The sensation was disorienting at first, and he wobbled slightly, struggling to bahe back of the cloak fred open, glowing with a silvery burst of energy that shimmered in the night.
How long this cloak sustain flight?
He floated in the air, experimenting with the glide as he circled above the area. After about 8 to 10 seds, the mana began to fade. The silvery glow dimmed, and gravity took hold once again.
This time, instead of nding ba the stage, Ats found himself plummeting toward the group of troops seated nearby.
“Look out!” someone shouted, and they scrambled to move, clutg their ptes of food as they darted out of the way.
Ats hit the ground with a heavy thud, croug to absorb the impact. While he felt the force of the nding in his legs, it wasn’t nearly as painful as it could have been—thanks to the bracelet and his own resilience.
Looking up, he saw his troops staring at him in half-shock. Then, slowly, ughter bubbled up among them.
Ats scratched the back of his head. “Guess I still need some practice.”
wo perfect Rank-A items!
Ats grinned as he stepped bato the stage, ready for the big reveal—the first Rank-S pull of the night.
Excitement buzzed through the crowd as everyone’s eyes locked on him. Ats could feel their energy, their anticipation, fueling his own.
He reached out and touched the floating ticket.
Silence.
Then, suddenly, the sound of crashing waves filled the air, followed by the rhythmic patter of rain. The crowd gnced around irying to locate the source of the sounds.
From the ticket, a massive surge of water burst forth, casg like waves in every dire. The water spiraled upward, gathering into a distinct shape as it shimmered with ethereal light.
“What is that?” someone murmured.
The watery form began to solidify, its shimmering surface rippling as it took shape. Slowly, it revealed something long and slender—something that resembled a staff.
“A spear?!”
As the water receded, it revealed a stunning spear—sleek and elegant, with a dark, obsidian-like surface etched with glowing blue atterns that seemed to flow like a living current. At the tip, two arcs of water-like energy spiraled outward, f twin prongs that gave it the appearance of a trident.
Damn! Yes!
“It’s a spear! A freaking Rank-S spear!”
Without hesitation, Ats grabbed the on.
The moment his fingers ed around the shaft, a powerful current surged from the spear, flowing up his arm and into his body. He gasped as the elemental energy enveloped him pletely, a far strohan water elemental skill he’d wielded before.
The crowd watched in stunned silence as Ats stood there, water swirling around him in a dazzling dispy.
Ats’s heart raced as he quickly sed the details of the spear.
[You have received Rank-S on: (Legendary-grade) Wavebreaker Spear]
When he saw the grade, his jaw dropped.
“A Legendary-grade spear?!”
Hell! No way!
Barely able to tain his excitement, Ats dove into the skill details of the spear.

The description alone was enough to ignite his excitement. The skill would gee powerful waves that crash down on enemies, slowing their movements and giving the wielder a tactical advantage.

But this wasn’t the right pce for such a demonstration.

The skill was Sea of Storms.
This ability would gee 100 water spears from the sky, rainiru down on enemies.
Even though the spear rimarily a cle on, its first two skills showcased powerful area effects. The spear’s capabilities were desigo pensate for the typical shortings of melee bat, allowing its wielder to dominate in both close quarters and rge-scale es.
Ats couldn’t help but grin. Both O’s Wrath and Sea of Storms were perfectly suited for battles against rge numbers of foes, making the on an ideal choice for someoh his role as a Lord.

And then, the third skill: Oic Blessing.
This was the ability that ed him in the protective embrace of water elemental energy. It assive skill that allowed him to ignore 50% of his target's defense.
“Damn,” Ats whispered. “Overpowered.”
But that wasn’t all. The skill also gave his attacks a ce to deal additional damage and slow the target further, making it a devastating bination of offense and utility. This spear was, without a doubt, araordinary on.
Ats felt a surge of curiosity aement bubbling up. Should he head to Fre Peak right away to test the spear? Or should he stay and ope Rank-S ticket first?
He g the glowing ticket waiting for him. Decisions, decisions.
