The Greatest Sinner

Chapter 257 - Scarlet Sacrifice

Virion took Evan to the main vault in Darkfil. Since he was a member of the Emerton Family, a nobleman, and an evolved vampire, he had the right to use this vault. Within reason, of course, but he could give Evan a few things. Moreover, in this situation, Evan was acting as a mercenary.

His goals and those of the vampires were the same, and so they decided to help him deal with the Azure Bridge scouts. There were several 4-star armors in their vault, and Evan was about to get one of them. He wanted to see what kind of armor Virion had prepared for him. Evan had never seen 4-star armor before, this would be new to him.

Many vampires guarded the vault, but when they saw Virion, they immediately let them in. Virion took Evan to one of the lower floors of the vault and first gave him a potion and three spell scrolls.

"This potion covers your body with a blue shell with rather pleasant effects. The potion lasts ten minutes, I'm sure that's enough time for you to deal with them.. This shell will passively absorb mana from the outside environment and fill your Warp with it. Considering that you are in the "One-Pointed Star" stage, this shell will absorb enough mana to restore your reserves in ten minutes fully. You can count that you'll have twice as much mana during the battle." Virion explained in detail and handed Evan a blue potion in a small vial.

Virion added, "What's more, this potion speeds up your regeneration. You don't have to worry about bleeding and minor scratches. But, if you get a serious or deep wound, this potion can't help you. I hope you understand me."

Evan nodded and immediately used it on Mammon's Gaze potion.

[Potion of the Uncorrupted Knight]

[Rank - 1]

[Rarity - Rare]

[This potion was created by an alchemist when he saw a righteous knight fighting from the last strength. Despite the many wounds and mutilations sustained in battle, he did not fall until the very end. Even at the moment of his death, he stood proudly on his feet]

<Wow, there's a description here. I wonder why the other items didn't have one? Maybe it's all about rarity? But, my scythe and those spell books were also the same level of rarity. Maybe Mammon's Gaze got a little better during my training? But, I definitely hadn't raised his Awareness, or did that concept not apply to those spells?"> Thought Evan was looking at the blue potion in his hands.

Next, Virion handed Evan three scrolls of spells. Evan examined them, and he was satisfied. They weren't anything special, but Evan would be able to wound or even kill several people with these spells. When Evan's Warp cleared, all of his spells became a little stronger, so he would be a little stronger even using the same spells with his opponent.

"Now, let's get to the most important and interesting part." Said Virion and took Evan to a special room where the armor was located.

Virion went to the wall and cut his finger. A Crimson drop of blood fell on the seal, and many symbols appeared on the wall in front of him. The next moment, part of the wall went down, and Evan saw his future armor behind the glass barrier.

"It's yours now, at least for a while." Said Virion contentedly, pointing to the armor on the stand.

This armor was called - Scarlet Sacrifice. It was a lightweight type of armor, but it was incredibly strong. On the outside, it looked like a scarlet, straight armor somewhat resembling a cloak. The entire armor was covered with many scales, and there were several black chains on the arms designed for increased protection.

Evan immediately used Mammon's Gaze.

[Scarlet Sacrifice]

[Rank - 1]

[Rarity - Epic]

[This armor was created by a skilled 4-star smith. He used the skin of four times evolved monster of the first Rank with three flames called - "Chain Blood Wolf." This monster was known for its strong skin and natural chains covering its body. They appeared after his fourth evolution. 

This armor will easily protect the mage from any 3-star weapon and most first-level spells. What's more, these chains have a special purpose. Thanks to them this monster was almost impossible to defeat. If you sprinkle these chains with your own blood and mana, the armor goes into berserk mode.

In this mode, Scarlet Sacrifice begins to absorb the blood of its host at an insane rate. At this rate, the host's body will be drained in five minutes]

<This is unbelievable...I got so much information just by looking at the item. Otherwise, I would have had to seek out this blacksmith and ask him personally about everything. Moreover, I got so much information because this armor is unbelievable. The 4-star items are really in a completely different league.> Evan thought to himself, admiring the armor.

He usually didn't like using any armor, and there were several reasons. Evan didn't like the way most types of armor looked, it wasn't just a matter of beauty but also mobility. Bulky armor had more minuses than pluses. Evan had to find something exciting to replace his cloak, and Scarlet Sacrifice was an excellent option.

<I will have to try this armor in combat, I'm sure it won't disappoint me, I should try to get it permanently, not just for one fight.>

Virion spoke at length about the armor, but Evan knew it all already.

Evan moved his cloak to the ring and quickly put on Scarlet Sacrifice. The scarlet armor looked great on Evan. It looked like a blood reaper who had come into this world to chain up all the undeserving and cast them into hell.

<This is a light type of armor, but it weighs quite a lot, but that won't be a problem I'm strong enough to move freely in this type of armor. Evan thought, looking at the black chains on his arms. They were the most important and spectacular part of this armor.>

Evan had not yet heard of any hidden effect or skill in the armor.
