Damon nodded. He decided to first equip the item and check what its abilities are. Ultimately, if it is not useful for him at the moment, then there was no need to risk anything. He lifted the mask and placed it over his face.
Immediately, a cold, silky sensation spread across his skin as the mask dissolved into golden motes, fusing seamlessly with his face. Runes ignited behind his eyes, and a muted golden glow flashed. Information flooded his mind.
Ding! [You have equipped a Legendary Grade Item]
Ding! [You have earned the achievement ’Legendary’. All your other items now have the ability to self-repair and withstand a higher amount of direct damage.]
[Mask of the Nameless King]
Grade: Legendary
Type: Facial Equipment
The mask belongs to the King who doesn’t have a name. The Nameless King ruled righteously and wisely. When the great plague struck the kingdom, the King sacrificed his name, his face, his existence, binding them to the mask so that his Kingdom could endure even after he lost himself.
Nameless Veil (Passive): S rank skill
The wearer’s aura, intent, will, soul, bloodline, presence and identity are completely suppressed. Detection by perception skills, tracking abilities, fate-based targeting, and name-linked effects is greatly reduced. The wearer appears as an unremarkable existence.
***
Damon let out a slow breath. For a Legendary item, a single skill seemed extremely underwhelming at first glance, but the devil was always in the details. Even though it only carried one ability, that ability was S-rank!
This was the first S-rank skill Damon had come across in both his lifetimes, not counting the absurd, ridiculously overpowered skill tied directly to his bloodline. And unlike most skills that grew incrementally, this one didn’t build up to greatness. It simply existed at the top.
At first, Damon had only expected the mask to suppress his vampiric aura and blood essence, enough to let him pass as a Light-faction player with a bit of caution. That alone would have been invaluable. But this... this went far beyond concealment.
It didn’t merely hide his power, it erased his presence.
With this, he would even be able to step back into the light faction continent boldly despite B ranks chasing behind him. To the world, he became a blank space that simply did not matter. That was terrifying.
With this mask, he wouldn’t need to skulk through shadows or rely solely on disguises and caution. He could walk straight back onto the Light-faction continent openly, through guarded cities, guild territories, even regions where B-rank experts were actively hunting him and they would pass by without a second glance.
Damon’s lips curved into a faint, dangerous smile. It was time for him to get out of the wilderness, at least one of him. Would his clone even survive at that distance? Just how independent was it?
Damon shrugged. There was only one way to find out.
