Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 1274: Guide To The Starmations



(A/N: I hope you don't feel cheated by this. This chapter's purpose is to explain the properties of the uniform armour sets that the Stark Troops and Unlimited Stars wear. I'm sure it's obvious, but I will be cutting to the exploits of the Stark Troops and Unlimited Stars from time to time in this volume, but not for too long. And of course, that's why this information is pretty crucial.)

The Stark Troops and Unlimited Stars have specialised armour sets which are imbued with personalised skills and traits that improve their individual capabilities as Troop members, and common abilities that others have access to as well.

The Stark Troop armour sets are called the GRANTED ARMAMENT sets, and those of the Unlimited Stars are called the GRANTED STAR ARMAMENT sets. The former have the blue, white and silver colours, while the latter are dark, with a myriad of stars.

Because of the staggering difficulty involved with the creation of Transcendent grade armour, Skullius has only managed to fashion Mythical grade armour sets for the Troops and Mythical+ grade sets for the Stars. (This is referring to Warmoth Progeny Skullius.)

Skullius would very much like to distribute the armour sets in the Warmoth's Treasury but a majority of them have ravenous, dangerous wills of their own and require very powerful beings to tame them.

The Granted armour sets possess their own storages of mana that can be added up from the user's own reserves. The standard reserves are of the purple quality.

The armour sets also have set amounts of Null Life Essence, but these can only be used in conjunction with the Starmations. The Stark Troops and Stars are unable to add on to these quantities.

The Starmations are unique arrays imbued into the armour sets that allow for the casting of powerful Offensive, Defensive and Support type abilities.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

OFFENSIVE

Aggrante:-

Aggrante is the signature offensive attack of the Granted armour sets. It allows the user to shoot off a concentrated, continuous blast of Null Life Essence and mana that rips, burns and corrodes the target. Previously, Aggrante did not have variants, and was simply divided into Singlefold, Doublefold and Triplefold with each step increasing its power, but Skullius has since made some adjustments, giving it different variations on top of its standard application. Each variation can be applied with Singlefold, Doublefold and Triplefold power.

Las Aggrante - This variant of Aggrante sends the signature stream of condensed Null Life Essence and Mana at the enemies, but instead of ripping, burning and corroding their physical bodies, it strikes at their souls. The end result is usually a shrivelled corpse that attempts to fold in on itself because of the sudden loss of its soul. This variant is the fastest version of Aggrante.

-

Nos Aggrante - This variant of the Aggrante sends out single, wide range shot of condensed Null Life Essence and Mana at the enemies which detonates and disintegrates any and all lifeforms in the range of the blast. If fired with Triplefold firepower, Nos Aggrante is capable of erasing high level concepts in the area as well.

Sadly, this variant of Aggrante consumes a lot of the armour set's reserves of energy, and if used recklessly, it can leave the user without enough energy for other Starmations. It is also the slowest variant of Aggrante.

-

Ko Aggrante - This variant of Aggrante is only available to the Unlimited Stars as Skullius judged that only they are strong enough to withstand the recoil. This variant of Aggrante is super condensed to the point of being nigh imperceptible. It is more suited towards large numbers of enemies, and with each target it hits, it immediately jumps to the next, and builds up kinetic and potential energy that is only released after all the targets have been tagged. In the end, all targets implode, leaving nothing of them behind, however, because of a Rule Skullius used to give the Ko Aggrante a special quality, the user gains five times the cumulative mana experience from each defeated target.

On the flip side, as the Aggrante connects to targets, the user has to bear part of the kinetic and potential energy built up before the eventual release.

DEFENSIVE:

Tranquil Instance:-

Tranquil Instance is a defensive Starmation that uses mana and Null Life Essence to create a powerful outline that shields the user from most forms of attacks, especially if they are fuelled by anything that isn't genuine Divine energy. Tranquil Instance is exceptionally effective against Territories, as designed by Skullius, and is thus extremely valuable for the Stark Troops that have yet to reach the Incandescent Stage.

To activate the Starmation, the user simply needs to lean forward and cross their arms before their chest, and their armour sets will cycle Null Life Essence and mana in the formation of the array built into them. Unlike like the Offensive Starmations, Tranquil Instance does not expend the armour's energy reserves.

Stagnant Parameter:-

Stagnant Parameter is a defensive Starmation that uses Null Life Essence to create defensive, plate-like shields around the user, and mana to superimpose a gateway to Stagnant Space. Any attacks below a certain threshold are simply transported to Stagnant Space, leaving the user unharmed. The power of Stagnant Parameter can be enhanced by connecting multiple activations of it from multiple Stark Troops and Stars.

SUPPORT

Granted Restoration:-

Granted Restoration works in conjunction with the Stark Constellation to heal body and soul damage. Even if the soul or body is ripped to tattered shreds, as long as it isn't all erased at once, the Starmation is able to restore the user. Skullius analysed the principles of Supreme Potions to create this Starmation, hence its effectiveness. However, it can only be used five times a day.

Granted Warp:-

Granted Warp allows the user to teleport as far as their eyes can see or as far as their sensory range allows. It can be used an unlimited number of times in a single day.

Granted Vision

Granted Vision gives the user 360-degree vision and enhances the sharpness of their sight. They become able to pick up things they would otherwise miss, and at times, Granted Vision will draw their attention to suspicious activity.
