Chapter 95: 96. An Impure Encounter

The Diamond Counter was an insanely powerful tool if used in the right hands. Frost foresaw its value shine in moments where she was not taken seriously as a Color or as the Amalgam.

However, the meaning of ‘devalue’ was muddied at best. Likewise, she also imagined that it wouldn’t activate if someone merely didn’t believe in her status. One needed to be bastardized in all likelihood.

But in the end, there was no telling how this thing functioned exactly until the opportunity arose.

Still, its stat-doubling effect was nothing to scoff at. It had every potential to turn the tide of a battle so long as the devaluing criteria was met.

In the meantime, Frost wore the diamond brooch proudly on the left side of her chest. There was some debate on who exactly would take this item. At first, she considered Cer to wield it since she was the one who defeated the Corrupted in the first place.

But Cer insisted that Frost take it on the basis that Frost’s already insane stats would benefit tremendously if the effect ever activated.

That was an extra 4,000 ATT she’d have over Cer’s previously buffed state. And 4,000 ATT alone was already within the realm of a Moon.

10,000 ATT? Or a 20,000 damage Prejudice? Now that was perhaps teetering on the edge of a Beholder.

Perhaps, huh.

The true strength of a Beholder was either much lower than she imagined, or far surpassed herself by tenfold. There could be no in between. She could only form a terribly vague image of them through word of mouth. It didn’t help that she had never seen them fight first handedly, nor could she even see their stats.

And that wrenched her heart a little. Because if Carpalis was considered to be the weakest, then she could only imagine just what the strongest were like in terms of stats.
