The line-art world was as usual, and Lancer was sitting on the ground constantly panting. There was no doubt that his heart almost jumped out when he was targeted by countless concentrated spells at the end. One must know that even in his prime, he would not dare to take so many spells head-on.
Fortunately, his time calculation was extremely accurate. The time arrived just as he killed Blackhand and took his weapon and Llane's longsword from him, and he was forcibly teleported away from that world.
"Dark Hand
Rarity: B
Effect: The attack carries a certain amount of fire element damage"
This was Blackhand's weapon and Lancer trophy. For him, this kind of weapon was not suitable. After all, it was an Orc's one-handed hammer, but to an ordinary human, it was even bigger than a two-handed hammer, not to mention that Lancer did not use this kind of heavy weapon.
If it were a longsword, dagger, or similar weapon, he could use his speed to make the enemy bleed with the weapon. It would be fine to bully novices, but a hammer... just forget about it.
There was no doubt that this hammer would likely only be a collector's item for him until he met someone he felt he could give it to, just like the Teigus he had acquired.
If this warhammer was considered an unexpected pleasant surprise, then his original reward made him somewhat at a loss for how to complain.
First was the "Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian." Lancer was originally curious about what the system planned to do, as 'Atiesh' had clearly been taken by Khadgar. Was it going to get him another one? Now he finally knew what was going on.
"Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian
Rarity: A
Introduction: The staff was reforged through a series of quests after Medivh's 'Atiesh' broke
Effect: ① Sturdy
② Single-person Teleportation Portal (Cooldown: 24H)
③ Arcane, Elemental, Nature Spell Enhancement"
Simply put, the staff in Lancer hand was not the original one from Medivh, but Lancer was not disappointed. After all, the only weapon among all his current weapons that reached an A rating was the cross spear given to him by Achilles. Neither the Gáe Bolg given to him by his Shishou nor the Holy Shroud personally crafted by Jeanne had a rank higher than 'B'. Moreover, its effect was already strong enough. One must know that even Lancer S-rank Quinque back then only had a rating of 'C'. Lancer even doubted whether a weapon made from an SSS-rank Ghoul could be rated A?
However, the other reward was somewhat disappointing, which was "Active Shapeshifting." Lancer was originally considering whether it would be cooler to transform into a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon or more gorgeous to transform into a Phoenix, but after getting it, he was completely Confused.
"Active Shapeshifting — Unselected
Description: Medivh's Shapeshifting can transform into any animal (use one's own ability to undo the transformation)"
Animal?!
Well, thinking about it carefully, how could this kind of task reward, which was similar to a bonus, allow him to transform into those BUG-like existences?
'Forget it. I didn't have too many expectations anyway. It just so happens that transforming into a flying animal can also make up for the deficiency in my abilities.'
Lancer had not forgotten the embarrassing figures of himself and his three companions when they fell from the 'Hanging Gardens' that time. If he could transform into an animal with wings, it would at least not be so miserable.
Lancer initially wanted to transform into a bird like an 'eagle' or a 'vulture,' as they were quite famous among birds. However, considering that he didn't rely on fighting while transformed, but used it more in non-combat situations, these birds were too conspicuous. After all, where would eagles or vultures come from in the city?
For some unknown reason, a flock of white birds appearing in the square unconsciously surfaced in his mind...
However, the specific choice still needed careful consideration.
As for the last, more practical item, it was the "Automatic Enchanting Machine." Lancer tested it once.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue using it; it was simply because the charging time for this 'machine' was not short, requiring 8H. As for the result of the test...
"Crimson Lotus Spear
Level: D
Category: Consumable
Effect: Can be detonated upon violent impact"
It was a special spear created by combining an ordinary, unrated spear with 'Nitroshrooms,' a specialty of the MH world. Although he randomly picked a material because the enchanting materials could be chosen freely at first, a melee weapon was forcibly turned into a consumable. Lancer didn't know what to complain about regarding this.
After checking all the rewards Lancer had been looking forward to, all that was left was Medivh's collection of books. However, Lancer himself was not very interested in this. Firstly, his talent in the area of 'magic' was quite moving (i.e., poor), and secondly, Lancer, who had been to Karazhan, knew how exaggerated the number of the opponent's book collection was. He really didn't know what might pop out from a random selection of books.
"Basic Requirements for Rearing Mana Wyrms," "Elementary Arcane Decryption," "Encyclopedia of Azerothian Plants," "Introduction to Magical Constructs," "How to Summon a Succubus," "Historical Analysis of the Seven Kingdoms," "Druids and Animals"...
It could be said that it was not surprising. Most of these books were specific to Azeroth and were not very meaningful even if Lancer read them. However, one book did make his eyes light up.
Even though he knew that there were no other living creatures in this line-art world besides himself, Lancer habitually looked behind him twice, with the same expression as when he first asked his friend to buy a hentai (perverted) manga from Neon (Japan) and secretly took it home from the parcel locker...
"Thank you for your support~"
The petite girl with green hair smiled broadly as she handed the autographed book to the young man in front of her, who also bowed happily. There was no doubt that he was very happy to receive an autograph from his favorite author, 'Takatsuki Sen,' but he didn't notice that the gaze of his beloved author towards him was a bit strange, as if she had seen something she really liked.
'What a pity.'
In fact, she really liked the man in front of her, but not for his appearance or identity, but because she thought he tasted very good. However, as she said, 'it was a pity.'
Having eaten not many days ago, she wasn't hungry at all, and it would probably be a few more days before she ate again.
But just at this moment, she noticed a strange gaze.
She subtly glanced over and saw a white dove standing on a tree branch.
'A white dove? It looks like I'm a bit too nervous.'
After confirming it wasn't a human, she stopped paying attention and continued to interact with her readers with a smile. However, whether she was maintaining her persona or choosing food, only she knew.
