Chapter 435 - The Formation

As soon as Albestros Winston, the current most popular and respected peak grandmaster blacksmith of the Rakos Empire gave his command, Kahn and all the subordinates present in the room felt incorporeal energy binding their bodies and mind together.

RUSTLE!

BOOM!

A sonic boom released from all of their bodies and at the same time, various multicolored archaic runes and magical formations were activated all of a sudden.

Each one of them had their armors and new weapons equipped that were customized to fit their body build, weight and physical convenience when fighting.

But now… they all felt a sudden surge of energy emitting out of their armors and weapons as if it was their own strength which they didn't even know about.

All of them including Kahn could sense that their physical attributes were raised by at least twice while the runes on the weapons released tangible blue threads that connected to the other party's.

[System, scan the clothes and weapons.] commanded Kahn.

[Scanning in progress. Please wait for 5 minutes.] replied the system.

"What is this? I feel like all my physical attributes have almost tripled." spoke Jugram.

After Kahn, he had the highest attack buff skills so he could instantly notice the changes.

"Not only that. But I feel my mana increasing by twice as well." spoke Ceril.

"I feel a sense of inkling in between all of us. As if we're bound by something." said Armin.

"I can feel it. It's not us… but the armors and weapons we're using that are binding us." said Oliver, the most perceptive of them all.

Albestros then nodded in affirmation and spoke in a cheerful tone.

"This is my latest and also my greatest creation so far.

It was something I had been working on for years but never had suitable materials or enough quantity to successfully forge these many pieces in order to actually make it possible."

"If not for that legendary monster Invimarak's massive body you brought me… none of this would've been possible." he said.

"What do you mean?" asked Kahn with a curious gaze.

"This is an ancient artificer formation that connects all the armors, clothes and weapons you're wearing and shares the user's physical and magical attributes and mana.

The number of targets can be up to 10 at maximum. And there is one main condition. I think you can guess." replied Albestros.

"It must require the same base ingredient or material." suddenly, Omega spoke with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Correct! You need something made of the same material and elemental affinity.

And the hide which I used to make your clothes as well as the bones and various body parts I used to make the armors and weapons are the main constituents that are channeling your strength and mana and sharing it with each other.

And this conduction is being carried through various archaic runes and artifacts that are part of your clothes, accessories and weapons.

I have used various techniques and best of my skills to achieve this effect." revealed the old man.

"But there's more… right?" asked Ronin.

"Yes. Not only will it greatly enhance your physical and magical attributes, but also reduce the damage you receive given the properties of the Invimarak.

That creature could absorb physical and magical damage and convert it into a form of energy that enabled it to become stronger the more damage it received." said Albestros.

"Wait… doesn't that mean we will have too many buffs and protection at the same time?" asked Kahn.

Albestros nodded with gave another smug expression.

"It's just not that." he said.

The next second, he touched Ceril's mage robes and put a hole in it using his personal damascus knife.

"What is this?! Why did you damage my…"

But before he could even continue…

The ripped part restored itself in front of his eyes.

"All of these clothes and armors will use your mana and world energy to repair themselves and restore their material state in case they're damaged." he said. But this wasn't the end of his showing-off session.

"Close your eyes. And think about changing the size and colors of your armors." he commended.

Under his instructions, all of them closed their eyes and did exactly as they were told.

Omega's armor turned from gray to silver color while Blackwall's turned from yellow to brown.

Armin's light armor changed from blue to green and Ceril's white mage robes turned to purple.

The same occurred to Oliver, Jugram, and Ronin whose clothes changed to sky blue, scarlet red and pitch black respectively.

Not only that, but they could also increase their size as per will in order to get more comfortable.

"What the hell is this?! How is that possible?" asked Kahn with a baffled expression.

Albestros on the other end was just basking in the gazes full of surprise as he displayed his unparalleled talent as a blacksmith.

Just then, the system informed Kahn.

[Scanning complete.

Pendragon Formation detected.

All the targets sharing the linking runes and artifacts through the clothes, armors and weapons will get a buff of additional physical stats by 3 times and magical effectiveness by 2 times.

At least 5 of the targets should be present for this formation to become active.

The current range of this formation is only 20 kilometers radius.

The range shall increase based on the levels and ranks of all the targets.

The mean average of the levels and ranks for the targets will increase the range and buff effects under this Archaic Formation.] reported the system.

[Damn! I need to learn Blacksmithing and Artificing as well.

I don't understand a single thing about how he does it but it will definitely turn out very useful in the future.] said Kahn to himself as a sense of urgency arose in his mind.

Because whatever Albestros did to make such magnificent sets of clothes, armors and weapons; all of which were many times better than even epic rank gear sets, was something he never thought of even in his wildest dreams.

Pendragon formation was basically enough to turn a first stage saint comparable to a second stage saint in terms of physical attributes and mana stats.

And with their own skillset and abilities, one would be able to fight an enemy that was a rank above their own.

And the potential to buff effects grow as all of their individual strengths grew together was an incredible skill effect.

"Now think about summoning your clothes and letting go of your armors." spoke Albestros in a coy tone.

But no one dared to question the old man and followed his orders.

In the next second, the armors from their bodies turned ethereal and soon, they were replaced by the new set of clothes in an instant. As if there was no longer a need to change clothes at all.

Kahn looked at Albestros and asked.

"Where's my armor? And you didn't make me greatsword either."

"Tch! Ignorant fool!

Lucifer and Drakos Armor are already comparable to legendary rank set together. You don't need this. Just the clothes should be fine.

Besides, they'll get stronger just like these sets after you breakthrough to higher ranks.

Don't trade a diamond for shiny pieces of glass." reprimanded the old man.

"Alright. But then what about the extra sets?" he asked.

"Yeah, yeah. I made extra pairs of all the armors and weapons based on your physique.

But you're a swordsman, why do you need these belonging to other professions?" he queried.

"Just to be safe. They can be useful as a great cover or when I'm in disguise." quickly replied Kahn.

The main reason he asked for each set based on different jobs and weapons was because in the future, he was going to get all of his weaponry and combat techniques to higher ranks.

At that time, he'd need appropriate gears so he took the opportunity and overworked the old man a bit for more gains.

However, everyone present in the room came to acknowledge that Albestros was indeed worthy of the title of No. 1 blacksmith.

Because achieving such a feat was extremely hard.

Even if there were certain conditions they met… creating such well-crafted weapons and armors which were twice effective than an epic rank set was indeed praiseworthy.

He had outdone himself and everyone was left in awe of his mastery as a craftsman.

And soon, Albestros explained that all clothes and weapons had abilities that can be upgraded. And all it needed was world energy and mana as a source to increase efficiency and range.

Some weapons could even be transformed into higher ranks with the right forging materials of high quality if they had them on hand.

Currently, Albestros was restricted because of his own ranks and couldn't create a Legendary Armor and Weapon set because he was restricted on the amount of mana and world energy he could infuse into them. Otherwise, the effects would be even better.

But no one had any complaints as this was already an unbelievable feat.

Kahn also understood that even without using his skills, Kahn's longcoat was already better than most of the epic rank armor sets.

And it was extremely flexible and could get stronger if Kahn broke through and provided more world energy to it. Plus the ability to change color and size was helpful because it'd help in a perfect disguise as well.

Thanks to the incredible work of Albestros…

Kahn, Omega and the Generals became…

Unkillable!
