[New Equipment Complete!!!!!!!!!]

“Ahem! Well, you have always attracted strange men like the baldhead and Zansword, so it is a tad too late to worry about how you have gotten some strange jewel from a strange old man…”

“Okay, just lemme know if you ever change your mind, and I’ll take you there. Now then, let’s see how good this shiny new dress is!”

Looks were important of course, but so was the inside!

I pulled up the equipment window and looked at the details of my new sexy and cool kimono-style dress.

Let’s see—Wha?!

“E-equipment skill? The hell’s that?! Never heard of it!”

The performance didn’t disappoint, way better than my previous set of equipment. What shocked me, however, was the equipment skill.

“Kukuku,” Grimm proudly laughed seeing my shocked expression, “It is as the name suggests, it is a skill attached to equipment! It is a new feature that has been secretly added in the recent update, or so according to what I’ve read on the craftsmen thread. We can now grant skills to equipment by using special items during the production process!”

“Ohh, for real…!”

That reminded me, the description of Tengu Hermit’s jewel said something along that line.

Looked like I could spam Tenma School arts now!

“Oh, right. What’s the difference between equipment skills and limited equipment skills, by the way?”

“Well, one piece of equipment can only hold one limited equipment skill. And you can only wear up to three pieces of equipment with limited equipment skills.”

Meaning, you could only have a maximum of three limited equipment skills at a time. No wonder they called them limited.

“Well, well, that sounds interesting. I’m guessing they’re stronger than normal equipment skills, what with the restriction, right?”

“Should be. Incidentally, the three skills the Heavens-Cursed set possessed came from the limited items you seized from the assassin players.”

Ahh. The cloth dropped by ‘Kirika of the Asura Realm’, ‘Alice, the Queen of Wrath’, and ‘Pendragon, the Goddess of Dawn’.

All that effort was worth it, then. I couldn’t wait to test them…!

“The ‘Inheritor of the Six Realms’ has gotta be the best of them. It’s perfect for me as I can various weapons now.”

“Indeed. I’ve looked it up and the arts it gives you access to are techniques that exist in ‘Sengoku Rokudo Online’… although it seems it is not going to be the case for long.”

“Yeah…”

I gently took the hair ornament on my head into my hand.

It must have been made with the limited item ‘Asura Red Cloth’ I’d obtained from Kirika. Dyed blood red, it looked ominous yet beautiful.

“…Most players can only use one weapon type, which, in turn, means they can only access arts that can be used with that weapon type.”

In a sense, it was the same as ‘Sengoku Rokudo Online’ system, where players gained different powers according to which Realms’ Dead they chose to play as.

But!

“Me, I can bring out the true power of all the Six Realms! I can engrave the power of the techniques from the world that soon will regretfully end onto many players in this world…!”

I never played the game, so I had no attachment to it.

But if I was in the same position as Kirika… if ‘Blade Skill Online’, where I met so many awesome people, was going to disappear, I bet I’d be so sad that I wanted to cry.

So, I couldn’t ignore Kirika’s plight.

“Not to mention, we’ve fought to the death with all our might, making Kirika one of my buddies. For her sake, I’m gonna run wild with arts from the Six Realms…!”

The stage was set.

I created a new fighting style, learned a bunch of new arts, and got a new set of equipment.

It was time. Let the rampage begin–!
