YM778.TV Chapter 143: Novice Frostborn
143 Novice Frostborn
The weapons also had many useful and interesting abilities that well-matched and aided the strengths of their respective race. In his case, his sword increased his cold/ice damage by 15% as well as another extremely powerful effect that allowed him to slow down his enemy\'s movements which can be extremely overpowered and abused under the right circumstances.
The best part was that even though their costs might have seemed really high, they were actually much cheaper than other weapons identical to it in strength found on the web.
And, from what he saw from the armour sets, he felt like the trend of good, "cheap" equipment would continue.

-------------------------------------
The novice Frostborn armour was the only set of ice/cold related armour he could find that fit in his budget. The effect that reduced the cost of ice magic and the effect that made his ice magic more powerful were really strong and useful indeed. However, he had no idea if it would also extend to his ice ability which was mana based instead of demon energy based.
However, Moby was willing to take the risk as he believed that the effect would extend to him as well due to how his ability mixed and combined with his demon dragon powers.
Moby slowly walked over to Jayden\'s PC that was in the corner of the room, booting it up, logging in, before navigating to Qbay to look for the materials to craft his sword and armour. From before Moby was a complete amateur on how to use and navigate on a PC but over the past few days when he was doing his ability research, he had gotten more used to it and became a lot more comfortable.
Not to his surprise, he found that none of the materials that he was looking for were being sold on Qbay, probably since it was mostly used for more casual and cheaper items to buy.
So, he navigated to the official online market where individual people and guilds would be able to sell their own magical equipment, crystals, and materials. It was the ultimate shopping hub for anything magic related, except for ability orbs/crystals.
At first, other than the ice giant nail, he was not able to find any of the materials that he wanted, making him extremely disappointed, telling himself that he would need to wait and be patient for them to come back in stock.
However, he persevered and looked even further, making himself glad that he did.
To his surprise, all of the materials that he wanted were listed in the "Luxury decorations" section of the website that, like the name suggested, had many items and materials that were meant to be used as purely cosmetic or only provided minimal power boosts for their cost and rarity.
This really confused Moby, making him question why these materials and ingredients that he needed were listed as useless cosmetics that provided no benefit before he came to the best conclusion that he could come up with.
\'Humans must not have found the benefits of these materials as their effects only work on demons or that they could not find the right recipe or crafting technique,\' Moby thought.
\'I think that both of those statements hold some truth. Anyways, this is pretty beneficial to you, if humans were able to use the full extent of these materials there would be no way that they would be worth so cheap, the price would have no doubt skyrocketed,\' Avilia commented.
\'Yeah, you\'re right, I am really glad. I want to spend as least as I could,\' Moby replied, rubbing the back of his head with a chuckle.
Moby took his time trying to find and buy from the lowest sellers, making a few materials and ingredients sell out as he was probably their only customers in potentially weeks or even months, making him feel pretty lucky that he found enough in stock to craft his full set of Novice Frostborn armour.
He added all the materials to his cart as he took a good look at the total price for his full set of armour and weapon.
\\u003c $2,895,000 \\u003e
A full $235,00 above the estimated price that was provided by his system which he ultimately did not care about. The set of armour and weapon was way too good even for the increased price and was still well within his budget as he had a total of $30,000,000 saved up. If he spent $3,000,000 on each of his family members sets it would only be a total of $12,000,000, giving him $18,000,000 leftover for other purposes that might arise in the future which was perfect for him.
Plus, the stronger armours that Moby found in his crafting menu were a lot more expensive and would exceed his budget by a sizeable amount. So, he did the best he could for a balance of power and extra funds.
Moby immediately clicked the "Proceed to check out" button and logged onto Jayden\'s PayPod account that she had encrypted for more secretive buying, the same one that had all of his bet money and the same one that Jayden had shared her password with because she trusted him. Then, he paid for all of the materials as he looked over to the teleport pad beside the computer, waiting for his order to appear.
Not even a second later, a blinding flash of light appeared on the teleport pad beside him, making him greatly panic as Jayden was still sleeping not too far away from him and the light was bigger and brighter than he remembered. He was afraid that he would wake her up early due to his carelessness so he used every ounce of strength in his body to erect a thin ice wall in front of Jayden\'s bed to block the light from reaching her and to cast a shadow on her.
That small, thin ice wall used up over a third of Moby\'s mana and took him incredible mental and physical strength as it was the biggest chunk of ice that he had created to date, making him extremely proud of himself as it was the panic and pressure that pushed him over the edge.
When he noticed that the light had faded away, he melted and removed his wall before looking at the materials on the teleport pad, the many shiny, light blue hard looking beetle shells, the shimmering and memorizing Snow Sapphire, the long, large, sharp, light blue snow beetle horns, and, last but not least, the ice giant nail that looked bigger and more disgusting up close than in the pictures.
He looked at all of the materials with a smile, putting his arms out towards them as he closed his eyes and began to imagine the design of his armour set before he confirmed what he wanted to craft.
In the next second, all of the materials suddenly disappeared as they had completely transformed and moulded into a new set of armour that was already worn and equipped by Moby.
It was a set of luxurious-looking metallic armour that felt really light stretchy and flexible at the same time, making him feel like he was wearing light cloth armour instead.
Just like he expected, as soon as he dawned the armour, he felt an immense rush of energy flow throughout his entire body making him feel more energized and powerful than before.
He wore a slightly gold embroidered mostly black with a small purple patterned and engraved chest plate. Decently large and somewhat spikey black and purple shoulder pads that did not at all hinder his movements duet to how flexible and light there were, sharp, metallic gauntlets that matched the same colour scheme and had small spikes coming out of the elbow pads, a fancy looking, black on the outside and purple on the inside, cloak that had a cape and hood for better stealth and for extra defence, metal leggings that nicely matched the aesthetic of his chest plate, and, metallic boots that had small spikes coming from the top and matched the same colour scheme as the rest of his armour.
For his weapon, it looked like a standard black katana that looked like it was forged with high-quality material. However, what made it unique was that the blade had a runic purple pattern on it that gave off an ice ominous glow that literally sent shivers down his spine. The sheath was a sleek all-black that blended very well with his cloak, just like he wanted.
For his ring, it was a slim, sleek light blue ring that wrapped around his left index finger. The ring also turned purple with no glow every time he used any of his demon energy which Moby thought looked really cool.
All in all, Moby was happy with the look he went for and the power boost he received.
At first he was skeptical about crafting a set of metallic armour as he thought that it would be extremely heavy and hard to move in which would have greatly restricted his movements. However, Avilia convinced him that it was not the case as she was an expert crafter that had the methods and skills to be able to create heavy defensive armour that felt the same as light armour. He was glad he decided to trust in her words as he was beyond impressed with what she was able to do. Plus, in his opinion, heavy armour looked far better and more intimidating on him than light armour and a lot more fitting for his position as the future demon lord.
Also, this time, he decided to design his armour much fancier as he had much more money and was not required to hide his power and look poor to sell his lie. He needed to dress according to his new status that had probably been spread everywhere ever since his visit to the Griffith family the other day, as a B rank, Jayden Griffith\'s boyfriend, and as someone who won a decent chunk of money.
While his armour was equipped, Moby was slowly getting closer and closer to reaching the status of A-rank, making him feel really excited even though he knew that he was still far weaker than the top-ranking students, or even the top first years in the school.
