Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

0123 Blood Demon vs Hair Demon - Blessing and Named Items! (II)

The sudden tink making the sabers shudder surprised not only Kai but also the Hair Demon.

Kai gawked at the Fangs in his hand, distancing himself from Nyra, who had stopped mid-air, standing on a thin strand of hair. This made little sense to him. He had used these sabers against Beyblades, and they were Uncommon-graded Items.

If he had lost a percentage or two of Quality, then Kai would have made his peace with it.

To lose 25% Quality, of both sabers, and in one move...

It was beyond imagination!

"Ara..." Nyra giggled coquettishly, putting her hand over her mouth. "Fighting me without a Named Item?! Tch-Tch! Here I thought you recognized my powers when you marched into the museum with that confident walk of yours. Wasn't it you who was sending those pathetic paper creatures to spy on me? You do know that I have a Blessing, right?"

Kai's heart thumped.

Meg had told him about these Blessings.

Exceptional members of elite organizations or priests and priestesses from the various Temples could have these powers. Blessings generally were a part of a power that belonged to some main storyline Character or some Magical Beast, yet their Potencies were vastly higher than any equivalent graded Skill.

That's why when Kai had sucked out Meg's happiness the first time, she had wrongly thought of that as a Blessing.

That was also the reason for the High Priest to order her to kill him, Meg had guessed. As they already knew Kai wasn't a member of some major organization, then in their opinion, Kai was definitely a rookie reared by another Temple. And the rivalries between all the Temples ran deep in Chaos' Valley.

Then there were Named Items.

These Items weren't the replicas collected from the Random Worlds, or crafted by the Contestants in the Primordial Tower, but these were the original items possessed by the main storyline Characters in their respective Random Worlds. There were strict conditions to turn such items into Named Items. Still, given the same grade, nothing could match a Named Item on the same footing.

Yes, her having a Blessing explains this Named Item, Kai thought, his lips pressing into a thin line. It must be the same sword that the original character Yura had from the Random World of Inuyasha.

One thing you must never forget, master, Meg had told him. 9 out of 10 times, only a Named Item can match another Named Item. So if you are to face someone with a Named Item in the future, always go for the owner and not the Item.

"Crimson Mist," Nyra told him, flashing the steel in his eyes. "It can cut through all flesh and bones in a single slash. Now die!" She lunged at him, raising the sword high.

The irony was that Kai also had Named Item. Several, to be precise.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard (Original). The 3 Custom Pokeballs. The Regional Pokedex. Even the Rock Cake, though it was a Consumable Item and didn't belong to him.

However, contrary to the definition, only those Items that directly contributed to the offensive or defensive abilities of a Contestant were called Named Items. Once again, if one needed to make sure if the Item was Named or not, the Primordial Tower Trade Market was the greatest and most trustworthy platform.

Kai gritted his teeth and sent the Fangs back into Inventory.

These were the only sabers he had for now, and the best available for him in the Primordial Tower Trade Market. He couldn't afford to spend Mission Credits and get something better if these sabers were to disappear. At least not until he was done with this Main Mission.
