Eldritch Creature's Guide



Zephystrand City, 3rd Floor of the Tower.

The City of Zephystrand was as majestic as he remembered it. Its huge white walls were shining in the darkness of the night because it was night on the 3rd Floor when they teleported here, not speaking of the beautiful moon that was shining high in the skies of the 3rd Floor.

Enormous trees that were across the entire city of Zephystrand could be seen even from a distance of several kilometers as they were projecting majestiness to the city.

Giving it it's a signature profound and natural feeling that was unique to the elven cities, especially those made by noble subspecies of the elvenkind.

"It is even more beautiful than the last time I saw it..."

Samiel muttered as he observed the city from a far distance; as he opened Rift to one hill several tens kilometers away from the Zephystrand, but even from a distance of 110 kilometers away from the city, he got a clear view of it.

"Yes... come, it should be evening right now and there is something that I want to get done."

Yvraine then practically dragged him by his hand as she hurried to the Zephystrand.

He didn't know what she wanted to do because the restaurants and bars were open non-stop, especially the exclusive ones for the high-ranking clientele, but he didn't ask.

During the time she would be taking care of her matter, he would visit the Industrial District, where the headquarters of the IMC was located, to have a talk with Master Brigric Goldengroc and take a look at the manufacturers and factories of the IMC.

He also needed to inspect the newest products that would be leased on the market several months after he gave them the green light of approval.

Apparently, the prototypes for the Power Armorrs were working well, though he wanted to see the performance for himself before they started selling them.

Soon enough, they arrived at the gates of Zephystrand City.

The guards stationed at the guards let them enter as they bowed to Yvraine when they saw her. When they entered the Zephystrand, Yvraine went directly for the Merchant District of the city, while he went to the Industrial District as they parted their ways.

The Industrial District of the elven city Zephystrand was unlike other industrial districts of other cities because there was a lack of smog, dirt and other things associated with the factories and heavy industry.

Elves kept everything clean and attuned to nature.

They prevented any kind of pollution from appearing in the city; they were very throughout in this area because elves hated pollution and the corruption of nature.

Samiel walked through the Industrial District of the Zephystrand until he arrived in front of an enormous complex of several buildings meshed up together, connected with each other.

The specific notable thing about this complex was its distinctive dwarven architecture for better and more efficient usage of space.

Just as he was approaching the IMC headquarters, he suddenly saw a group of heavy-armored dwarves rushing toward him.

These were the guards of the IMC that were hired to protect the headquarters... most of them were at the Bronze-Tier, but their appearance here was just for formality's sake.

They escorted him to the offices, where he saw countless dwarves working on the same paperwork or making designs for new weapons and armors, improving existing ones, or doing some administrative matters.

This was the administration department of the IMC's headquarters and soon enough, he arrived in front of the office of Brigric Goldengroc, who was Chief of Manufacturing.

Naturally, they were still lacking the CEO of the Corporation, but for that, he needed to find someone trustworthy and someone who was skilled enough.

The dwarf didn't change a bit even after all the time he departed from the 3rd Floor, but that was something that he viewed with the old views because from the standpoint of the Cosmos, it was an extremely short time.

"You have finally arrived... I thought that you noble ass would never make it back here in the first place."

The dwarf noted down sarcastically, to which Samiel ignored his remarks because this was the typical behavior of the dwarves. They were not the most pleasant people around for most of the time; fortunately for the dwarves, Samiel didn't care too much for the protocol and their behavior.

"Yes, I have... you should know very well that moving across the Floors of the Tower is not an easy matter. Thought from now, there won't be a problem with this, but don't waste time anymore and let's start with the important things... I want to see prototypes."

Samiel stated as the dwarf nodded because dwarves were folk that didn't like dancing around something or wasting time, as they immediately went for the most important thing, which was the inspection of the Power Armors.

"Naturally, I will take you to them."

The grumpy dwarf said as he led Samiel to one of the rooms that were in the hall, where a few sets of the prototypes were stored for similar things. Here the potential buyers would be taking a look at them.

"For now, we have only two versions of functioning the Power Armors. The first and the cheaper one, set on the 250,000 Credits per set, is the Mark I. Warrior-Type Power Armor, a Normal-Grade Artifact Rank, but it is still packing a serious punch. Pretty much suitable for Iron-Tiers and Steel-Tiers."

Master Brigric Goldengroc introduced the Mark I. Warrior-Type Power Armor to Samiel while he observed the sleek design of the Power Armor.

While it looked pretty much compact, yet it still looked sturdy and was made from top-notch F-Grade Alloys.

"Has it been tested? What about the Power Source?"

Samiel asked Master Brigric Goldengroc, who nodded his head.

"Yes... the Power Source Mana Crystal Reactor works on both user's own Mana and Mana Crystals. In real combat, the armor has proved to be pretty much useful and was able to increase the raw power of Peak Steel-Tier to the standard of relatively weak Bronze-Tier when ignited... though the big drawback of the armor is its inability to withstand heavy hits for a prolonged period of time. In its nature, it is pretty much similar in designs and function to the things that you provided, which were created by the Avalon Kingdom."

Samiel was certainly pretty much impressed by the efforts that the dwarves have put into reverse-engineering the Power Armors of the Avalon Kingdom and adjusting them to the usage needs of the wider Cosmos.

"And the other one?"

He then looked at the next Power Armor which was next to the Mark. I Warrior Power Armor.

It was much bulkier and looked like an armored juggernaut, with several plates of additional armor and there were several more protection means, as it was designed to be like an immovable mountain.

"Mark I. Juggernaut Power Armor... this one is indeed a masterpiece that we could make in such a short time. To even use this armor, one needs to be Bronze-Tier; otherwise, the weight of this thing will crush the user to imprison them in their armor. Under the full defensive state, it should be able to withstand attacks of Silver-Tiers for a prolonged period of time, but for the superior defensive capabilities, we were forced to sacrifice its agility."

Samiel nodded; hearing that was understandable, but he had to admit that the Mark I. Juggernaut Power Armor was a piece of art.

"And the price?"

He proceeded to know the last piece of the puzzle.

"One million credits per suit... it is made from D-Grade Alloys with more advanced Mana Core Reactor installed, with Psionic Reactor as a backup that is essentially a possible upgrade which will increase the price to two million credits per unit."

Even he, as the owner of the IMC, was surprised to hear the price of the Power Armors because their price was much pricier than the average Power Armor on the market... but in terms of parameters, their own were far more superior.

"And it would probably delight you to hear that we already have orders for several hundred pieces from some factions affiliated with the Hall of Kadath, mostly the worshipping nations."

This time Sameil almost fainted on the spot from the happiness because the IMC was starting to become profitable... dividends would be paid early, but he hoped to receive at least one hundred million Credits... which would be nice.

For example, the cost of one Mark I. Juggernaut Power Armor was approximately 100,000 Credits, and the revenue of one was 900,000.
