Chapter 740 - Night Skipper
Hovering on her black feather wings, Swan watched The Limpet leaving her view and dived back into the clouds.
“Wintertide, I see… Good choice. Summerdew Ridge won’t be so safe with our visitor there.”
She let out a sigh of relief, but she was soon bothered by another question.
While she was glad to see Helen escaping from Specter Basin safe and well, she couldn’t understand how it was possible.
There was one time she accompanied her master and went to Specter Basin to search for research materials. While carrying the corpses of several giants, she witnessed how horrific the place was.
Countless undead souls that came at her like an unending nightmare… She was sure she’d have died there if she moved just a bit slower.
Even her master suffered from some nasty wounds and would not go there ever since, which only deepened her fear against it.
So how did a ship full of mortals make it out?
The boots didn’t look very outstanding as far as their outer design was considered. They basically appeared as cheap, everyday black boots sold in ordinary shops. But the flickering runes on them did give them an indescribably peculiar fashion.
Apart from this, Angor was very satisfied with the final effect achieved on the boots.
He intentionally restricted the item level just below mid-tier, which prevented an alchemy omen from occurring.
He didn’t dare to create a mid-tier item right at Devil’s Water since the omen might show up as something he couldn’t manage.
Of course, the effect available to such a level was weaker compared to real mid-tier items. But he was glad he was skilled enough to control the outcome of his crafting attempts so precisely.
At night, he tried flying around the ship using his new boots. As expected, they could not help him move very fast like how Gondola did. Yet they offered greater stealth and mobility.
Previously, he had to drag his body using the sequence of gravity or ask Toby’s help if he wished to eject his soul. Now with the flying boots, he could fight enemies in midair with more options.
