Broken took the five pieces of the Ranger suit that Ella had worked on and put them into his inventory. He would work on them in his Blacksmith Workshop. He intended to do the finishing touches on all of them that day, along with two other weapons. Additionally, he planned to upgrade everything, aiming to get them to at least +9, and if possible, push his two Legendary-grade weapons to +12.
As he walked down to the living room, followed by Freya, Yara, and Ella, he suddenly saw several people waiting there: Elincia, Maylock, Goldrich, Melliandra, and Kingsley.
He approached them. “What are you guys doing here?”
“Looking for some entertainment, what else?” Maylock responded.
“We want to see the finishing process of your crafting, Broken,” Elincia answered enthusiastically.
Broken raised an eyebrow but continued walking outside, with everyone following him. Outside, he even spotted Booba, RememberMe, PussyCat, and Forev running towards him. “What are you guys doing here?” he repeated.
“We want to see your legendary crafting skills, Master… hahaha, I knew this would be very interesting!” RememberMe exclaimed.
Booba added with a grin. “Broken, I’ll be giving you my support to ensure you achieve another Legendary-grade item. Isn’t that amazing? Hahaha.”
“But…” Broken hesitated, realizing the blacksmith workshop wasn’t large enough to accommodate everyone. Despite this, he decided to press on and continued walking, the group trailing behind him.
He opened the door to the blacksmith workshop, catching Ingolf by surprise. The blacksmith immediately halted his work, looking curiously at the sudden influx of people.
Broken swiftly moved to his workstation and sat down, taking a moment to observe as everyone slowly filed in, one by one. Maylock, Elincia, and Melliandra stood at the front, while Kingsley, with his large frame, struggled to fit through the door that was too low for his height.
“Let’s go, do it, Master,” RememberMe urged.
“But, I’m sure you’re going to fail spectacularly this time, Broken,” Maylock said, drawing everyone’s attention.
“What?” Everyone asked.
“We need someone to play this role,” Maylock explained in a flat tone. “Someone to belittle him, so he can do the opposite and astonish everyone.”
“Ah, that makes sense. Khi khi khi…” Goldrich chuckled. “Broken, I’m sure all your crafting will end up at Rare-grade today.”
“He is clearly overrated!” Melliandra chimed in. “I only came to watch him fail miserably and regret his pathetic life,” she said
Everyone turned to look at her.
“Good acting, Melliandra,” Elincia commented.
“No, I think she genuinely means what she’s saying,” Maylock replied.
“Yes, I confirm it,” Kingsley added with a nod.
Broken took a deep breath and smiled. “Alright, let’s get started,” he said.
He quickly arranged the pieces of the Ranger suit in a line so he could apply the finishing touches to each one in sequence: Helmet, Gloves, Chest-armor, Pants-Armor, and Boots.
He started with the helmet, though it was more like a hood that connected to the body part of the suit. As Broken ran his fingers over the meticulous stitching, he could feel the dedication and skill that Ella had poured into crafting every piece of the armor.
Broken retrieved the shaped monster core, installing it into the hood and making precise adjustments for the final process. He wanted nothing less than the best outcome, as the grade range for this Ranger suit spanned from Rare to Unique. He hoped for at least an Epic grade, though naturally, Unique was his ultimate goal.
Everyone held their breath as a green aura emanated from the hood, their eyes widening in astonishment at what they witnessed. The room filled with a sense of awe.
[Woodland Ranger Helmet]
[Grade: Unique]
Broken smiled in satisfaction at the result and looked up, curious to see everyone’s reactions.
“You surely are so broken,” Maylock commented. “While others work hard and can only
dream of getting Unique-grade, you achieve it effortlessly.”
“Khi khi khi, we’ve been amazed far too quickly, I think. Let’s hope the rest doesn’t turn out badly,” Goldrich said with a smirk.
“Your luck is over, Broken,” Melliandra added bitterly.
Broken decided to hold off on checking the detailed stats for each piece, at least until he had finished the entire Ranger suit. He then moved on to the gloves.
Please, let it be another Unique-grade, he wished quietly. However, the aura that emerged was a dark green. Was it a Unique-grade? He hoped, but it seemed he would have to be content for now.
[Woodland Ranger Gloves]
[Grade: Epic]
“Epic, right?” Maylock said.
“Yes,” Broken replied softly.
“See, the grades will continue to drop until they reach Rare-grade! Haha,” Melliandra added.
Ignoring everyone, Broken steeled himself for the next piece.
[Woodland Ranger Armor]
[Grade: Epic]
“Getting consecutive Epic-grades is still an outstanding result,” Goldrich commented.
“Yes, anyone would be more than satisfied with an Epic-grade,” Maylock added.
“You surely are overwhelmed with fortune, right?” Elincia remarked.
“Not only with his blacksmith skills, but with women too,” Freya said, giggling.
Ella, standing among them, appeared tense and nervous as she watched the progress of the Ranger suit’s finishing.
Broken paused for a moment, trying to calm himself. Although one Unique-grade piece was already an incredible achievement, the Epic-grade pieces still held significant value for him. However he couldn’t afford to get anything lower than Epic-grade-that was his minimum
standard.
He had every right to have high expectations. With his skills and supporting stats, he was confident in his abilities. So, he continued with the next two pieces, which fortunately ended
up with the same Epic-grade.
[Woodland Ranger Breeches]
[Grade: Epic]
[Woodland Ranger Boots]
[Grade: Epic]
“Well, 1 Unique-grade and 4 Epic-grade items,” Maylock said, grinning awkwardly. “I suddenly want that Ranger set, Broken. Maybe you’re planning to sell it?” he asked.
“I think you need to curb your desires, Maylock,” Elincia replied with a chuckle. Broken smiled and then stood, eager to try on the outfit. He finally had a complete set of Ranger light armor. Now, he could fight with more versatility. Heavy armor was already secured, and now he had light armor as well.
He donned the full outfit, reveling in the Woodland Ranger ensemble’s feel and appearance. It included a green hood and an earthy tunic with additional wooden chest, shoulder, and arm plates carved with intricate leaf patterns. The arms and legs were heavily armored with wooden plates and bracers, while the lower body featured dark green trousers, a leather belt, and reinforced wooden greaves over leather boots.
Yara then slipped out from the corner of the room, carrying a tall mirror, which she placed in front of Broken.
“My Lord, I figured you might be looking for this,” she said enthusiastically.
Broken examined his new outfit in the mirror. It genuinely gave him a fresh look compared to his usual heavy armor. In this light armor, he appeared more agile and sleek. The overall colors of the armor-a combination of green and wood tones-were perfect for camouflage. The hood was also equipped with a bark-like half-face mask, which was a significant advantage. This meant he could use it to conceal his Gamer Name as well. According to the mechanic of Immortal Legacy, when one’s face is covered, their Gamer Name hovering above
their head could be hidden.
“Show us the stats and the skills, Broken,” Maylock said.
“Yes, we want to know just how cool that Ranger outfit is,” Elincia added.
“Sure,” he replied, nodding.
