Dave carefully inserted the Chaos Runes, looted from the Blood Stone Mines, one after the other until all five of them were socketed in the armor. When he was done every piece of his armor had taken on a sanguineous glow.
Chaos energy imbalance!
Your body is suffering from the overflow of destructive energies from the runes of Chaos!
+300% Damage to all abilities
-1% of maximum HP per second.
Dave felt like his body was burning, as if he was being infused with enormous power, too much power. It was doing Damage to him each second.
Thinking quickly, he inserted the Azure Water Rune into the second socket on the breastplate.
The red glow around the armor lessened and he got a new notification.
The Azure Water rune reduces the damage caused to your body by the Chaos energies.
Current effects:
+50% damage to all abilities and skills.
The Azure Rune can be disabled at will.
"So, the Chaos Runes empower but slowly drain my HP. Adding the Azure rune the mix eliminates the damage from the Chaos runes."
Dave was impressed with the bonus from the runes and was tempted to try the added bonuses.
’I’m going to get a weapon and shield. The Gauntlets of the Sworn Stalwart are a great weapon, the damage from them is fixed until I unlock the scaling trait. I need something that does more damage now.
Dave went to Dikenz’ Undead Shop. The zombie shopkeeper’s eyes gleamed with greed when he saw Dave.
"Me fave-rit cust’mer! Welcome!" the Zombie said opening his arms and smiling to show off his gold teeth...along with the rotted ones.
Dave shook his head,"Buddy, I am your ONLY customer, at least until the expansion opens. Anyway, I need to gear up. So, show me what you got!"
"O’course, o’course! Anything for me most valued cust’mer!"
Dave received a list of the equipment and items the shop carried. He scrolled down until he found something similar to what he needed.
"I’ll take the Tower Shield and the Death Knight’s Greatsword," Dave told the Merchant.
"A fine choice, sor, a fine choice I say," the merchant gushed.
After Dave paid the shopkeeper 20,000 CP for the items he received the sword and shield.
Dave inspected the jagged bladed greatsword.

"Hey Dikenz, what other shields do you have? I’m looking for a smaller one."
"Aye, I do. But ye get no refunds for th’ tower shield!" said the merchant sternly.
"No, I’m keepngi this one, I just need a smaller one."
The greed-gleam showed once again as the merchant picked out a Kite Shield for Dave.
"This should fit the bill just fine!" the merchant suggested obsequiously.

"Yes, this is good!" He paid another 10,000CP
"Why don’t these count as part of the Death Knight’s set?" Dave was surprised the sword and shield didn’t add anything to the armor set bonus.
"Yon sword’n shield not be part o’the Death Knight armor, they just ’ave the name. But they are mighty on their own merits." Said the Zombie
"Oh Dikenz, can I see the list of equipment for Doom Knights?" Dave had bribed the shopkeeper before, so he was pretty sure he could get a look at the Doom Knight equipment. Just so he can plan and prepare for when he ranked up again.
"Y’can. But, nothin’ comes fer free, aye," said the merchant.
"How much?"
"A pittance really. Just one million CP,"
"That’s daylight robbery!" Dave had already bought a lot of stuff for his battalion. No, not battalion, regiment. One thousand strong!
"That’s the cost for just seeing em!"
"Nah, fuhgeddaboudit." Dave left the shop and tore a teleportation scroll and arrived at the Undead Frontier.
"Time to upgrade the units!"
Dave pulled the Upgrade panel and chose to upgrade his old battalion members.
Dave made sure his ten Elite undead were promoted to Undead Captains with their own units under them.
