Monarch Sovereignty (Legendary)

This rod is said to have been equipped by a legendary wizard who helped defeat a titanic monster that once plagued the continent. The wizard was rumored to be amongst the ones who first established the Human Continent, aiding Kings and Queens. According to word of mouth, he was also the first-ever monarch of the Human Continent. He later disappeared in history without giving his true name, and with his disappearance, Monarch Sovereignty was lost forever.

This Rod is decorated with images of powerful wizards that shield others from harm. It appears to have been made with a mixture of Adamantine, Mithril, and Orihalcon, but it is now also mixed with ooze.

Must equip to gain the spell [Storm of Vengeance] and [Monarch's Might]. Unequipping will remove the spell and skill from your list.

[Storm of Vengeance] is a unique AoE spell that is only available by equipping the Monarch Sovereignty. A powerful wizard made this spell, combining Thunder and Storm in one. This can surely eliminate all that stood against you.

It doesn't cost MP, but it can only be used once a day.

Magical Damage is dependent on INT.

[Monarch's Might] is an equally powerful unique passive skill that the wizard made. Equipped with this skill, you are immune to Status Effects.

Can only be equipped by Magic Users.

MP +1000, INT +700

Durability: 100/100

Ren couldn't contain his smile. All that trouble was worth it! This was something that he wanted to add to his collections of Scepters.

He couldn't use it right now since a lot of eyes were spying on him. Others would definitely attack him and steal his items if they were given a chance, and he was sure of this because he could hear their whispers and felt their piercing stares.

"Let's try and attack him and see if he has valuables."

"Did you see how he cast those four flames? Those flames weren't normal. It's big, angry, and it's like an atomic bomb upon impact. It's like the breath of a dragon."

"What kind of spell is that?"

"Who cares? Did you see that scepter he used before? It's like it's made of crystalized lava. I've never seen anything like it. Do you think that it's a rare item?"

Ren blocked the noises and faced Evie and Ragnar.

"Based on the silly smile on your face, I say that you succeeded in acquiring the Monarch Sovereignty," said Ragnar.

"Too bad about the gil and EXP, though," Evie chimed in.

Ren merely smiled and changed the topic. "Let's go and meet the Kingdoms' armies. We're about to reach the climax with Jibblinplip, and this time . . . it's going to be us getting the kill."

The armies ate and rested, recovering their HP and MP from the fight. Everyone looked tired. Their faces showed their lack of sleep and exhaustion. They had been fighting Jibblinplip since the morning, and it was about to be night soon.

They didn't even notice when Ren and the others passed by them to head toward their Generals and the Princess's location.

The NPCs were so engrossed in their talk that they didn't notice it when Ren approached them from behind and listened to their problems.

"Jibblinplip is generally unstoppable, but there are a few things that everyone can do to slow it down and buy time for the nearby towns and villages to evacuate," Ren said when he had the chance to interrupt their serious conversation.

"You--" The Princess was startled at first, but Ren cut to the chase without giving her a chance to talk.

"Hazardous and obstructive terrain can slow the ooze down for a few minutes while it works its way around them. A wall of fire and a wall of ice are both good choices. Even though it doesn't hurt Jibby, those walls would buy us time while it engulfed them.

"A non-magical option is to bring a lot of edible materials to different sides of Jibby, so it would divert its attention and pursue the more easily attainable meal."

The others exchanged glances with each other. The Princess was about to speak, but a general beat her to it.

"And you are?" he asked.

"Ren. And this is Evie and Ragnar, my companions."

"Well then, Ren. As much as I don't want an outsider interrupting and telling us what to do, you have a valid point."

The Princess opened her mouth, wanting to reproach him, but another general spoke first.

"We do need all the help we can get. Every idea to slow the monster is much appreciated."

"We can do as he said. We have empty wagons and broken artilleries that can form a wall. We can also cut down trees to build a much higher barricade."

"We can also put the trash and leftover food near Jibblinplip to stall for time. Who knows? Maybe the Empire's Battalion could arrive before it reaches the nearest village and towns."

The others agreed, and all looked at the Princess for her decision.

Princess Lorelai's expression couldn't be deciphered behind her helmet. As much as she was angry at Ren for what happened before, she couldn't fault him since they killed the Colossus in the end with their help.

And she appreciated every input in the war where it was due.

If only she knew that it was Evie who kept teleporting her everywhere throughout the battle with the Colossus, she might have angrily killed them on the spot.

"Sounds good to me," the Princess said after a short pause.

[Your relationship level with ???? increased!]

"But there's still that question that's left unanswered," another General said. "How are we going to kill Jibblinplip if physical attacks don't work against it?"
