Novel Bin Chapter 42 - Powerful New Equipment!

After the upgrade of the weapon, Anna handled it to me.
She was able to "forge them" through the summoning of an anvil and a hammer. Using the Blacksmith Skill generated such a magical effect that let her simulate this when upgrading items.
"And done, there you go, Master," said Anna.
I grasped the beautiful and long golden cane with my hands, it felt quite light compared to the morning star, but there was an intense magical aura within it…
…
[Weapon: [Accursed Golden Mithril Cane of Fire and Wind (D-Grade)]
[Durability: 500/500]
[Attack Power: 460]
[Magic Conductivity: 750]
[Weapon Speed: 360]
[Traits: [Cursed Weapon (D)], [Evolving Weapon (D)], [Automatic Repair (D)], [Slaughter Healing (D)], [Mana Conductivity (D)], [Evil-Slaying Smite (D)], [Fireball (D)] (New!), [Gust (D)] (New!)
…
And here it is the thing that most surprised me, the new Traits it acquired…
With this, even if I don\'t have an innate affinity to Fire or Wind, I can still conjure it!
I have been trying to use Mana Bullet Blast with other elements, but I seem to be what is called "attribute-less", I lack an attribute, and therefore, it is Null.
But with weapons and Skills, I can more or less wield all Elements as well.
Strangely, my innate talent is Null-Attribute, but I can cheat it by using the System.
And well, this amazing weapon has acquired Fireball and Gust most likely due to being enhanced with a large pile of Fire and Wind Crystals.
In fact, the ornament it had at the tip of the cane, which looked like a crown-shaped decoration was made of these crystals, all concentrated into these forms. When I conjured a fireball into the air (outside the house), the red crystals would glow up and absorb my mana, firing the spell.
And when I used Gust, the green crystals would glow, generating a gust of green-colored winds.
Interesting, I got a new arsenal of attacks I suppose as long as I hold the thing, of course.
Oh, and when I enhance it using the Magic Knight Skills, the fireballs, and gusts double in mass and impact rage, which is even more incredible.
After this, Anna upgraded the whole set of clothes with the various materials as well… Ah, it\'s not like I stood nude in front of her or something, I was wearing something else.
I had thought about converting more weapons and clothes into cursed equipment, so I will most likely try to do something soon, but I fear that it will become useless because the Apocalypse might bring even better loot than what I could make with simple clothes.
When Anna was done upgrading the clothing set, the changes were as clear as day.
Although it still looked quite modern-looking, the texture of the whole clothing was smooth and also filled with golden, red, and green decorations, there was also a hoodie that was decorated with flame-shaped decorations made of gold and what seemed to be crystals.
The set now had two gloves that had incrusted crystals of fire and wind on them. No, I wasn\'t able to conjure fireball and gust with them, but they enhanced my capabilities, the fire crystals enhanced strength while the wind crystals enhanced speed.
A pretty amazing design if I do say so myself.
…
[Accursed Sorcerer of Fire and Wind Set (D-Grade)]
[Durability: 1000/1000]
[Physical Defense: 550]
[Magical Defense: 740]
[Traits: [Cursed Equipment (D)], [Evolving Equipment (D)], [Automatic Repair (D)], [Status Effect Resistance (D)], [Mana Conductivity (D)], [Fire enhancement (D)] (New!), [Wind enhancement (D)] (New!)
…
Yup, the enhancements I mentioned earlier were part of these two Traits. Each enhancement lasts for around 5 minutes and costs roughly between 300-500 Mana.
After having explored the Dungeons and upgraded my equipment, I had decided to spend the day practicing Skills, constantly using Mana alongside everyone else, while I also started setting up traps.
Yeah, traps.
We dug the ground and I put dozens of fire crystals and wind crystals there. Alongside that, after some effort, Vudia was able to create a single golem, which took a toll on her mental fatigue, which all Summons seem to have.
This golem had around two meters in size and was made entirely out of her gold, having the shape of a humanoid made of blocks.
It had a cube-shaped "head" where two bright yellow glows were.
I don\'t know how she made them, but it seems that they don\'t have souls inside like some other Golems within the books I wrote, making this creature purely magical.
I didn\'t want to kill it for EXP because it took her a lot of time to make. But I doubt it would even give EXP, as the System wouldn\'t allow me to cheese through things so easily…
As was practicing my Skills, suddenly, I seem to have earned enough proficiency.
Ding!
[The [Apprentice Sorcerer (E)] Skill has awakened into the [Young Sorcerer (D)] Skill!]
[Young Sorcerer (D)]
As someone who has surpassed what could be seen as an apprentice sorcerer, you\'re still young and inexperienced, but you have already attained a level of magic above the norm, and your inner magical talent can keep increasing as you practice more.
There is no limit to your magical development, your magic power evolves alongside you!
[The [Mana Bullet Blast (E)] Skill has awakened into the [Consecutive Mana Bullet Blast (D)] Skill!]
[Consecutive Mana Bullet Blast (D)]
As someone who has mastered the ability to create bullets made of pure mana, you can now conjure several spheres at the same time, with a max of three. Each Bullet will explode after hitting an enemy, dealing greater amounts of damage, and ignoring physical defense.
You can control the bullets you create and move them in midair through your will.
…
Amazing!
I was rather surprised by these changes, but they really do feel like great upgrades.
I can now generate three Mana Bullet Blasts, and to boot, my internal Mana Control has become even greater thanks to Young Sorcerer.
I began to practice against the trees nearby, and by pointing my cane at them and activating the Skill, three spheres of pure and transparent manage emerge out of thin air, flying towards the tree and exploding consecutively!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Crack…!
CRASH…!
The entire tree falls apart, and so around five more behind it…
