Ats stored the Legendary-grade Wavebreaker Spear in his iory, f himself to hold back his excitement. After all, he still had one more ticket to open. Surely, this st pull would be just as thrilling.
Taking a deep breath, he g the crowd. His thoughts swirled with anticipation.
A character would be fantastic—boosting the team’s strength is always a win. Then again, a on would be just as valuable, especially with so many options for who could wield it.
He reached out and touched the floating ticket.
The ticket vibrated slightly, then began to pulse rhythmically. It trembled for a moment before—
A sudden surge of water erupted from the card, spiraling upward and gathering into a swirling mass.
“Another water-based item?” Ats wondered, watg the liquid shift and solidify.
The water coalesced into a round shape, roughly the size of a watermelon.
Then, as the excess droplets fell away, the object’s form became clear—it was an egg.
The egg looked almost gss-like, its smooth surface refleg faint, shimmering colors.
[You have received Rank-S Item: Azure-Touched Egg]
“An egg?” Ats muttered.
He hadn’t known items like this—her a character nor a on—could e from the standard banner.
Still, there were no pints. Something new always meant fresh possibilities. He reached out and touched the egg.
It was warm to the touch. Thin, vein-like patterns of glowing light pulsed gently across its surface, giving the impression that something inside was alive aing to the surrounding mana.
[A mysterious egg infused with a strong e to elemental forces. It radiates an a, calming energy. What lies within is unknown, but the egg reacts strongly to mana, hinting that it must be nurtured with mana to awaken.]
Ats g his elite subordinates, silently inviting their input. Surprisingly, the first to respond was Lyrassa.
The girl gracefully floated toward him. She nded lightly beside him.
“Do you know what this is?” Ats asked, holding the egg up slightly.
“My Lord…” Lyrassa replied softly, her tole as she nodded. “It is… the cradle of a soul born from nature’s purest essence. A vessel where Mana and life iwine, awaitih.”
Ats furrowed his brow, “What?”
“It is an egg of a Spirit Beast,” Lyrassa firmed.
“Ahh… that’s cool.”
“Yes, My Lord,” Lyrassa added with a serene smile.
Ats grinned, uanding now what o be done. All he had to do was supply Mana to the egg—it was that simple. In time, it would hatch, and he’d finally have a pet of his own.
“How long will it take?” he asked.
Lyrassa paused, iing the egg closely. “It is he end of its dormancy. It could take… perhaps one week, My Lord.”
“Good,” Ats said with a broad grin. The thought of waiting for years had briefly crossed his mind, and he was gd to hear it wouldn’t be that long.
He chuckled to himself, already imagining the new panion that would soon join his ranks.
Ats paused for a moment, deg to hold off on using his remaining 10 standard tickets. Instead, he stepped onto the teleportation pad and activated it, opening a portal to Fre Peak.
It was nighttime, but here, the distin between day and night was almost meaningless. The skies were perpetually dark, with thick clouds hanging ominously above, and the fiery glow of va casting a crimson hue across the barren ndscape.
From his iory, Ats withdrew the Wavebreaker Spear. The spear pulsed with water elemental energy, sending a cool, refreshing surge of water c through his hands and up his arms.
He could feel the spear’s power, almost as though it were alive and syng with him.
Taking a few steps away from the others, Ats spun the spear experimentally, testing its bance.
Behind him, Baldric, Edrik, and Kurogasa followed closely, his every move.
Ohing stood out immediately—this spear was heavy. In fact, Ats estimated it was at least five times heavier than the Fang of Infernos. It made sense for a Legendary-grade on to have such weight. The power it offered came with the demand for equal strength and skill.
After putting some distaween himself and the others, Ats took a firm stance, preparing to test the on’s two skills.
The Spear es with three skills: two active and one passive. Iingly, both active skills are area-based attacks. Truly remarkable!
He observed the mana flow within the spear carefully. Using these skills would draw on his mana reserves, and though every awakener had their limits, experiend training could gradually lower the mana cost and improve cooldown efficy.
Ats paused to assess his stats. His Intelligence wasly impressive—it ranked among his lowest attributes—but sihe spear was a melee on, its mana demands likely wouldn’t pare to those of magitric users.
It should be manageable, he thought with fidence.
Turning to the three who had followed him, Ats caught their gaze. Each of them nodded silently.
“Alright,” he said, gripping the spear tightly, “let’s see what this do.”
The first skill unleashed powerful waves of water, surging forward to crash against the nd with relentless force.
Ats lifted the spear high above his head, narrowing his focus and eling his will into the on. With a firm and, he activated its ability.
[O’s Wrath (Active) activated.]
Immediately, he felt his heart pound fiercely in his chest—a natural response as mana surged from the human core, which resided in the heart. The flow of mana was intense, almost overwhelming, as faint blue elemental particles materialized around him, swirling with incredible speed and energy.
Then, as if guided by magic itself, a massive surge of water appeared before him, rising high into the air like a t wave.
With tremendous force, the wave surged forward, crashing across the ground in several successive waves. The skill’s power was undeniable—each wave swept across the nd, g with the molten magma and releasing thick clouds of steam as water and fire collided.
Magnifit.
Ats stood back, watg the dispy with awe. The sheer destructive beauty of the skill left no doubt in his mind—this was a on designed for warfare.
The area damage and slowing effect it would infli enemies made it a perfect tool fe-scale battles. The first skill alone was a testament to the spear’s purpose: overwhelming strength and absolute trol over the battlefield.
Ats wasted no time and prepared to test the skill. Raising the spear and fog his energy, he activated the ability:
[Sea of Storms (Active) activated.]
The moment the skill was triggered, Ats felt a surge of mana rush through him, spiraling upward as if drawn toward the heavens. The air around him grew dense, charged with a powerful energy.
Then it began—a sudden, dramatic shift imosphere.
From the dark, ash-den sky, shimmering blue magic circles began to form. Water spears took shape.
And then, they desded.
The spears rained down with unerring precision, striking seemingly random points around Ats, as though directed by an invisible will. Each impaleashed a tremendous spsh, sending rippling shockwaves across the earth. One by ohey crashed in a relentless cascade.
Ats watched the se i was absolutely breathtaking. It was like a rainstorm of water spears relentlessly pounding the ground.
The magma beh each strike hissed and sizzled upon tact, sending up thick clouds of steam that quickly engulfed the area in a swirling mist.
This skill wasn’t just an attack—it was a storm of destru, perfect for overwhelming groups of enemies with its relentless precision. It was yet aool that showcased the spear’s dominan rge-scale bat.
Ats lowered the spear slightly, breathing heavily but grinning.
“Incredible,” he murmured.
Satisfied with the results of the skills, Ats turo face the others.
“Ats… yes, hahaha,” Baldric said, as if he could read Ats’s thoughts.
“Are you sure?” Ats asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes,” Baldric replied fidently. “It’s a brilliant elemental bination, and I’m certain you’re the perfee to wield it. I’m sure it will be something cool.”
Nodding, Ats reached into his iory and pulled out the item he’d drawn from the gacha some time ago.
[Rank-A Item: Lightning Infusion Crystal]
[Adds lightning damage when applied to a on or increases lightniance when applied to armor.]
