The Golem Mage - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Red Salamander Set Chapter 48: Red Salamander Set Alec was highly intrigued by what could happen to the armor once he utilized his system points to fix its flaws.

Despite the difficulty in acquiring 500 system points, he didn€™t consider it a waste to invest them in improving the armor.

As he believed that using the system points on the armor would provide him with a deeper understanding of its uses and potentially even benefit him in the long run.

With determination, he clenched his teeth and pressed the Y button, which he had been contemplating in his mind.

[+ equipment tempering Crystal lvl 3]
Alec€™s hands were suddenly engulfed in a small, bright light, when he looked down, he realized he was holding a peculiar crystal that resembled the beast crystal positioned in the center of his armour€™s chest plate.

Almost instinctively, his hands moved toward that spot, as if he knew that was the intended action.

Carefully, he placed the tempering crystal on the armour€™s crystal, hoping it would yield results.

To his surprise, as his hands neared the armour€™s chest plate, the tempering crystal liquefied and seeped into his armor.

The scene unfolding before him was beyond his comprehension, the armor greedily absorbed the energy from the tempering crystal, as though it had been desperately thirsting for such nourishment, like a parched desert finally encountering water under the scorching sun.

When the blinding white light faded, Alec couldn€™t help but acknowledge his admiration for his renewed armor.

It was no longer primarily black, but now a tricolour armor, The red colour stood out dominantly, particularly in the core areas of the armor.

Astonishingly, as a result of the upgrade, a pair of red gauntlets materialized, accompanying the armor.

Alec was taken aback, as he hadn€™t expected the system to generate something out of nothing for him.

Nonetheless, he decided to set aside his astonishment and utilized his inspect skill to examine his new armor and gauntlets.

As he had confirmed that the system point was an immensely valuable asset.

[Red Salamander Armoured Set €“ Tier 3 (Peak)]
– Attacks below the level of Tier 3 (High) are ineffective against the wearer.

– Increases mana regeneration by x2.

– Adds 100 mana.

– Boosts agility by 30.

[Red Salamander Claws Gauntlet Set €“ Tier 3 (Peak)]
– Has a 30% chance to inflict a bleeding injury on a targeted opponent, gradually draining their health during extended battles.

– Allows the user to restore stamina by absorbing the blood of others and using it to replenish their own energy.

– Reduces the impact of fire, earth, or shadow element magic by half.

– Enhances strength by 50.

Alec couldn€™t help but smirk upon seeing the incredible upgrades the system had bestowed upon him.

Now equipped with the Red Salamander armour set and the new gauntlet, he knew he could continue battling without running out of stamina too quickly, especially when facing numerous enemies.

Although he didn€™t anticipate encountering such situations anytime soon, he appreciated the additional advantages granted by the armoured set.

He considered his expenditure of 500 system points well worth it, and his curiosity grew about the potential concealed within this magical gear.

However, Alec had to restrain his excitement momentarily, as his remaining system points dropped below 200.

He silently hoped that he wouldn€™t face zombies this time around, unsure if their undead blood could activate the special ability of the gauntlet to replenish his stamina.

As he revelled in his elation, a new option on his system caught his attention.

[Inject your mana into the armor and gauntlet to establish yourself as the sole owner.]
Alec had never felt prouder of the system than in that moment, he understood the rarity of such specialized armours and knew that some individuals would desire it.

However, if it was a marked spirit armor like this one, their covetous eyes would be in vain.

[Marked spirit armours are exclusive to a single person, unless the owner decides to remove the mark themselves, This may occur in situations where the owner€™s power surpasses the armour€™s capabilities, passing it on to the next generation but If the owner is killed before removing their mark, the armor or weapon will either self-destruct or become permanently useless, serving as a testament to a long-gone legacy.]
Alec transferred his mana into the armor and gauntlet, causing them to emit a brilliant light as if acknowledging their acceptance of their new owner.

The armor scattered into separate pieces before seamlessly equipping itself onto Alec€™s body.

As he sat on his roof, Alec admired his transformed appearance and couldn€™t help but feel three times more powerful than before.

However, Alec quickly realized that he couldn€™t keep wearing the armor all the time, He was utterly clueless on how to remove it.

And as if understanding his intentions, the armor sank into his skin and disappeared, leaving Alec perplexed.

He opened his clothes and discovered a full-body tattoo that resembled the armor he had been wearing, complete with vibrant colours.

The tattoo featured three distinct colours – red, black, and brown, with red being more visible.

Smirking, Alec also noticed the gauntlet tattoo on his hand, which was less visible due to his long robe.

€œFor once, I feel like the main character,€ he mused to himself before leaping off the roof.

€œHey Alec, why don€™t you wear your armor for a sneak peek?, Don€™t tell me you€™re still embarrassed by the colours,€ Knight taunted with a smug expression.

€œYou€™ll see my armor on the battlefield,€ Alec retorted with a smirk, excited to witness the astonished expressions on their faces the moment he starts showing off his armour set .

Taking a serious tone, Agnes reminded Alec,
€œYou need to take this seriously, Alec, The battlefield is where even the strongest can die if they€™re even the slightest bit careless, As our leader, you should know better and wear your armour for protection ahead.€
€œOh, just relax, will you?

It€™s our first time participating in a blood moon battle,€ Alec dismissed her nonchalantly, underestimating the gravity of the upcoming battle.

– Author’s Note –
Good morning, afternoon, or evening, whenever you receive this message.

I wanted to address a common concern that has been following my book, Golem Mage, ever since it was contracted with webnovel.

When I started writing Golem Mage, it was purely for fun.

I’m not sure if any of the old readers from the previous platform followed me here, but grammar has never been my strong point.

I made a lot of mistakes, and people read without complaining because it was free.

I’m sure they read over the first hundred chapters for free back then.

Suddenly, I received a contract through an agency linked with webnovel, and my book was established on their platform.

Now, I have to release chapters every day while also going back and correcting my past mistakes.

Editing is not easy, and the fact that I am not contracted directly with webnovel means I can’t simply edit my errors and expect them to show instantly.

The revisions have to go through the agency I am contracted with.

Please bear with me as I work on editing each chapter, no matter how stressful it may be.

I am not the same author I was when I started.

I have developed and evolved.

My writing style has changed, and my errors have reduced.

I promise to give the book the quality it deserves.

This message is only directed to the true fans of my books, not those who criticized it while also secretly reading the same book they claim they can’t read.

Thank you for your understanding and continuous support.
