Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

426  425: Weapon Grading System; Upgrade

The instant his axe stopped absorbing the blood essence of the Capra King, he could feel his axe emit immense satisfaction and ecstasy. A pure black and dirty brown glow engulfed his axe, and Corey squinted slightly.

He could feel his axe changing its structure and size, and he could also feel the axe becoming much stronger.

A few seconds later, his new axe appeared before him, and when Corey saw the appearance, he became slightly stunned.

The handle of the axe was now longer, making the axe almost as tall as Corey. As for the blades, they reduced slightly and the color of the blades was now dark silver.

The axe's color also changed. Its handle was no longer only reddish black, brown curved lines could be seen running throughout the handle. The handle was no longer wooden, but metallic, and the metal was so strong that Corey could not cause a dent on it even when he squeezed it with all he had.

On the metallic handle, two more runes could be seen, and these runes were pure black. Corey stared at the runes for a second, and then he stared at the blades of his axe.

At the center of both blades was not just a metallic handle, instead, it was the skull of the Capra King with a single horn protruding out of the top of the skull.

Corey glanced at the skull, and then he shifted his gaze to the corpse of the Capra King.

"Hmm."

Corey stroked his chin, and then his gaze went back to the two runes.

The first he noticed was something he had expected. His Genesis Armament was as strong as an Indigo Weapon.

The grades for weapons and items were- Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.

As Corey remembered the grading system of weapons and items, he could not help but shake his head slightly. The item grading system was simple, incomplete, and strange at the same time.

Red-grade items are items meant for Tier 0s.

Orange-grade items are meant for Tier 1s.

Yellow-grade items are meant for Tier 2s.

Green-grade items are meant for Tier 3s.

Blue-grade items are meant for Tier 4s.

Indigo-grade items are meant for Tier 5s.

And Violet grade items are meant for Tier 6s.

----

According to what Corey read about the grading system of weapons in the Inner Library of the City of Sin, red-grade items, orange-grade items, yellow-grade items, and green-grade items were usually called Mortal Grade Items or Astral Grade Items.

The reason why they were called Mortal Grade Items or Astral Grade Items was that such items could only channel astral energy and not mystic energy or higher forms of energy. If an Astral Item were to channel mystic energy, the likelihood of the item getting destroyed was extremely high, depending on the grade of the item.

Meanwhile, Blue-grade, indigo-grade, and violet-grade items were called Mystical Grade Items because they could channel mystic energy, and the higher the grade, the more mystic energy the item could hold.

As for the grading system for weapons and items above the Mystical Grade, Corey had no idea. There was no mention of weapons above the Mystical Grade, however, Corey had an idea of what the next grade was.

Immortal Grade

Another thing about the weapon grading system was that Astral Items were not meant to have the ability to cause severe damage to Mystic Beings. A green-grade weapon could not harm a tier 6, however, Corey was able to use his Genesis Armament which was previously a green-grade weapon to damage the Capra King.

This was due to all his skills, his mana quality and quantity, his extremely high efficiency in his usage of mana, and most especially, his axe intent.

However, after the upgrade of his Genesis Armament, his axe was now his highest graded equipment.

'Although my Genesis Armament is a Mystic Item, I won't be able to bring out its full potential because I don't have Mystic Energy.'

Although Corey had this thought, he was not worried at all. As a Demi-Paragon, and with his 'talent' and all the skills he had, he was sure that very few mortals would be able to use a Mystic Item as well as he did.

"Also… I got two extra runes on my Genesis Armament."

A light smile appeared on Corey's face as he stared at the two black runes on his Genesis Armament.

Unsurprisingly, the two runes were related to the abilities of the Capra King,

The first rune allowed Corey to manifest rocks and boulders in the air which he could then use to attack his enemies. The more mana he uses, the more rocks and boulders he can manifest.

Corey called this rune the Earth Manifestation Rune.

The ability of the second rune was something Corey did not expect, and if he was being honest with himself… he loved it.

The second rune allowed Corey to send out the two blades of his axe, and if he wanted, he could split the two blades into six parts.

Which meant, he could shoot out twelve mini weapons.

However, if he chose to do this, he would have to use his mana to regenerate back the blades of his axe.

Corey called this rune, the Division Rune.

To Corey's slight surprise, the skull of the Capra King was what regenerated the blades of his axe, and it was the sole horn at the top of the Capra King's skull that manifested the rocks and boulders in the air for him.

"These two runes can help me against multiple enemies."

Corey shifted his gaze to the Capra King's corpse, and then he crouched and stored the corpse in his Tri-Pupil Eyes.

After storing the corpse, he saw two objects on the floor. A dark purple stone with five lines and a golden stone.

"An Ancient Stone and an… Ascension stone?"

Corey stared at the golden stone with a curious expression for a few seconds before shifting his gaze back to the ancient stone.

When he saw the number of lines on the ancient stone, he furrowed his brows slightly.

"The ancient stone I got from the temple has six lines, but this one has five?... Is it because my ancient stone is from the temple?... Are ancient stones from the temples of the Old Ones more valuable than the other ancient stones?"

Corey wondered, but a few seconds later, he shrugged nonchalantly.

"Not like it matters anyway. I'll give Selene the ancient stone." Corey mumbled, and then he stored the ancient stone and ascension stone in his inventory.

After doing this, he looked around, and when he saw the multiple cracks running through the flat dimension, the falling asteroids, meteorites, and stars, and the crumbling mountains and hills in the distance, he was not surprised.

All these phenomena had been occurring from the moment he killed the Capra King, but he chose to ignore them and focus on the changes to his axe instead.

He had killed the Capra King, and the dimension was about to collapse because of the death of the Capra King.

"I guess I should meet up with her. She might be terrified or she might be cursing me with all her heart."

Corey chuckled softly, and then he formed a triangle with his palms, and a second later, he vanished.
