Dark Magus Returns-Chapter 48 Elite Grade Item

It didn't seem like Raze was going to solve his money problems any time soon, but he did have an avenue, as long as his potions worked, or even if they didn't, he thought that there might be a way for him to utilize Dame.

Asking for coins up front would be strange since Dame believed he came from another world. So those coins would be useless in his world, but he could still use him to get precious items. Heck, he didn't even mind if he got him more manuals and taught him more moves now that he had a dantian full of Qi.

If possible, Raze wanted to get everything he needed done in town today, and he wanted to leave no traces behind. After his encounter with the strange girl with the beret hat, he thought it was better if others didn't see his face directly. When he was in a quiet and secluded alleyway, he activated the robe and lifted up the hood.

After he had managed to acquire four bottles that each sold for 1 copper coin each, it left him now with 96 copper coins. Relatively soon after this, he decided that he also needed to buy a purse and had bought one that was purple in color and had a snake pattern on the outside along with a tongue that would pop out.

It seemed that these specially designed purses were popular. The purse had cost him a further 3 coins, leaving him with 93 coins. With the coins in the purse, he could now place the whole purse into his robe to store it, and now there would be no incident like what had occurred before.

Raze knew full well that if he was to return to the temple, he would be ridden with chores, which would distract him from what he needed to do. He could continue to do things at night, but one of these days he was bound to get caught, which left him in search of an Inn.

He wasn't planning to stay the night, but still had to pay the day fee, which was a total of 8 copper coins, leaving him with 85. He was quickly seeing the money he had taken going down.

'Judging by what that girl said before, I wonder how much Pagna warriors get paid, or those that are part of a clan?' Raze thought. 'She did say she was surprised to see that I didn't even have 10 coins, and considering my body, I guess they do eat a lot as well.'

Now in the room, Raze was preparing a number of things. First, he had a piece of chalk in his hands. This was something he had taken from the temple, as the children would often draw on the grounds as a way to play with something.

He placed three crystals on the ground and started to draw a formation around them.

'A 2-star mage, that can perform 2-star enchantments and has a good-quality item with a high-grade crystal, can obtain higher-enchanted items, and with my dark magic effect, it could even turn out to be an Elite-grade enchanted item.'

The enchanted items all had different rankings based on their effects:

- Common

- Uncommon

- Rare

- Elite

- Unique

- Mythical

- Legendary

- God

The current items Raze had were all at the Uncommon level, the ring as well as the robe he was wearing. The potions would be borderline Rare, but of course with Dark magic enchanted items, there would always be a curse.

Saying all of this in his head, there was clearly a problem. He had everything, apart from a higher-grade crystal. Raze had only a level 1 power stone as they called them in the world of Pagna.

What he needed was a level 2 power stone, and there was a way to do this without fighting a stronger beast.

A formation could be cast, combining two level 1 stones together. However, a stone would be used in the process. So to create a level 2 stone, one would need three level 1 stones.

This special formation could only be used to increase the level of a stone by 1 and no higher. On top of that, the higher the level of stone, the less chance there was of the whole thing working.

So this was something that Raze would only try with the basic level 1 stones he had. Flicking his fingers with his magic, the formation lit up, and all three of the stones started to vibrate and moved colliding into each other.

A bright glow appeared, and the colored crystal had become slightly more transparent in color, a sign that it was a success.

'That's good, if it failed, I wasn't going to try that again. I need 1 stone to feed this robe, and one to head back and meet Dame,' Raze thought, so he really only had four stones to create items with.

This wasn't originally part of his plan, but after finding the higher-quality item in the market, it was something that he just had to do. Although he was enjoying his new body and his martial arts, magic was still his trump card in this world and the others.

Drawing a new formation, this one took a lot more time compared to the last. Formations got more complicated the higher the tier of enchantment, with some taking even several days to finish.

This was why there were some mages that only focused on Enchantment, and it was quite rare to have an all-arounder like Raze.

Finishing the formation off, Raze summoned the box out from his robe and pulled out the earring, placing it on the ground. It was the same as before, and with the level 2 power stone, the new magic ritual was beginning. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭

It lit up, and so did the ring in the center. 'Haha, this has to be an Elite-grade item, this… is going to be… great!'

As the magic lit up, and the crystal's power was forming with the earring, in the corner of the room, behind Raze, electric sparks were appearing. They were coming and going, and small portals the size of a fist were opening up. Breaking through the portals, a small black tentacle was leaking through, wriggling about.

"It's complete!" Raze said, and the magic around the circle had died down. At the same time, the sparks and portals behind him had disappeared.

"Tell me the effects of this item," Raze asked, and the dark magic moved like a whisper. Soon, the dark magic came back with a text in front of him.

[An Elite-Grade Cursed Black Earring]

[A powerful curse has been left on this earring]

[The effects have been locked by the curse until the owner can fulfill the following requirements.]

[The earring must be worn by the user, and they must not take off the earring within the full course of 72 hours. During this period, the user must not sleep, eat, or drink. If the user fails to complete the task or does one of the above during this period of time, a curse will be placed.]

[Failure to complete the task will result in the user losing all of their senses. They will slowly go blind, lose their sense of taste, sense of hearing, and sense of smell.]

[If a new person is to wear the earring, the 72 hours will restart.]
