Chapter 382: Close Match 3

Junhyuk finished his business with Bebe and checked on how much gold he had: 1,630,010G.

Even if he spent all of his money, he wouldn’t be able to buy a piece of the Vampire Lord set.

“Just curious, but are there any Vampire Lord items available?”

Bebe shook his head. Junhyuk smacked his lips and asked about what Elise had asked of him. “Do you have a Starlight Blast Furnace or a Sunlight Heating Furnace?”

“Each of them costs 100,000G. You get a 15 percent discount, so it’s 85,000G for each. I’ll give them both to you for 170,000G.”

“You mean there’s no additional discount even if I buy them as a set?”

“Ha-ha! You are a hero now. Act like one.”

Junhyuk smacked his lips and purchased the two furnaces. After he had spent the 170,000G, he asked, “Are there weapons that are part of sets from those who’ve become legends?”

Bebe shook his head.

“Sorry, but weapons are not part of sets. Instead, weapons are registered as legendary items. However, there won’t be any you’ll want to use.”

Legends were supposed to evolve with time, but thinking of it, only two of the most recent legends used weapons. Keros carried a massive sword, and Tuelus had his orb-like machines. Their own bodies were used as weapons.

Junhyuk thought legends had to have weapons of their own, but Bebe had told him he wouldn’t find any he liked.

After some thought, he asked, “Then, have there been legends who wielded other weapons in the past?”

Bebe nodded heavily and answered, “Of course.”

Junhyuk’s eyes beamed. His Blood Rune Sword had been boosted through the victory reward from the Champions’ Battlefield, and it was better than most weapons out there.

However, he mostly used the Frozen Rune Sword for debuffing, and he hadn’t enhanced it lately. If he could, he wanted to replace the Frozen Rune Sword with another weapon.

“Show them to me.”

Bebe opened the book and said, “Not many heroes use one-handed weapons. First, I’ll show you the Pure Golden Knight Elder’s Golden Sword.”

Junhyuk inspected it.

—

Pure Golden Knight Elder’s Golden Sword (Legendary)

Attack +980

Special Effect: Blind +10%

The Pure Golden Knight Elder used this sword. Strikes with it create a flashing light that blinds the enemy according to legend.

On Blind: Attack Accuracy -50%

—

Junhyuk’s mouth hung wide open as he stared at Bebe.

“Why does it do so much damage?!”

Bebe smirked and said, “That’s why legendary weapons are so expensive. Legends used those weapons, enhancing and upgrading them, which is why they are so powerful.”

“Then, could I enhance it even further?”

Bebe nodded.

“Of course!”

Junhyuk gulped. The Golden Sword could blind the enemy. It shone bright gold, and it did not look cool at all, but it was still a powerful weapon.

“How much.”

“There are no discounts for legendary items. This one will cost you 3,000,000G.”

“What?!”

Even when comparing it to items from the Vampire Lord set, it was too much.

Bebe continued calmly, “As you can see, very few weapons are comparable in damage. You should know why it’s so expensive!”

Junhyuk nodded heavily. After five enhancements, the weapon’s damage would be astronomical. He asked Bebe to show him another weapon.

“How about this one?”

He was staring at a black sword with a reddish sheen. His eyes beamed. It’s color would complement the Blood Rune Sword.

—

Swordsman Aksha’s Scarlet Longsword (Legendary)

Attack +850

Special Effect: Extension (20 meters)

Whoever wields Aksha’s Scarlet Longsword will be able to extend its blade up to twenty meters to strike the enemy. The wielder can control the sword’s length at will. It is superb at controlling an enemy’s advance.

—

Junhyuk quickly understood what the sword could do. With a twenty-meter range, it would be useful in dealing with enemies with long range attacks.

With beaming eyes, he turned to Bebe.

“How much?”

“This one is 2,700,000G.”

Nothing was cheap. When Junhyuk smacked his lips, Bebe laughed.

“Are you looking for something cheap?”

Junhyuk shook his head. He wanted those weapons with special effects, but he couldn’t buy them now.

“Do you have anything else?”

Bebe nodded and showed him the next weapon.

“This is the last one-handed sword.”

Heat shimmered from the blade, and Bebe displayed it to him.

—

Camping Swordsman Dentra’s Magic Sword (Legendary)

Attack +900

Magic Resistance +30%

Dentra, the Camping Swordsman, used this wind sword. Wind energy is within the sword, and it resists magic attacks. The sword is called the mage’s bane.

—

The damage was lower than the Golden Sword’s, but the effects were better. Usually, mages were hard to deal with. All attacks from mages were magic attacks, so if he could cut their damage by nearly half, he wouldn’t be scared of them anymore.

Junhyuk looked at Bebe, and the merchant said calmly, “This one is the most expensive, 3,700,000G.”

Junhyuk realized why, even though they were superior in quality, legendary swords didn’t sell. They were extremely expensive. He smacked his lips. Junhyuk wanted all three sword.

“In the case of Dentra’s sword, does the effect apply if I just carry it?”

Bebe smiled.

“You want to carry three swords?”

“That wouldn’t be too bad.”

Junhyuk needed a lot of money, but if he could get those effects just by carrying them, he was willing to do it.

Bebe shrugged and replied, “There’s no limit to how many you can carry. In the past, one legend used to carry eight weapons.”

Junhyuk inhaled deeply. He wanted at least two of the three swords, especially for the effects. He immediately thought he would ask Elise to make more Ghost White Tiger cloaks. That was the only way he knew how to get more gold at the moment.

He was about to leave, but then, he thought of something and asked, “Is there a way to check on the worth of magitek items after we manufacture them without having to come here?”

On Earth, there wasn’t a way to do it.

“Of course!” Bebe answered, pulling out a scroll. “This is an appraisal scroll. Each costs 1,000G.”

Junhyuk gulped. Did he really need it?

“Do you have anything permanent?”

“These will cost you a lot,” Bebe said as he pulled out a pair of goggles. “You can tell an item’s worth by wearing them. They are 300,000G, but they don’t wear out.”

Junhyuk took a moment to think. They were expensive, but if Elise had one of them, she would be able to tell the worth of the things she made without him having to take them to the battlefield.

“Are you getting them?”

He sighed and shook his head.

“No.” He had to get better weapons first. After he had traded his sword, he would get the goggles. “Just give me five scrolls.”

The items created with materials from A-ranked monsters needed to be appraised. After he bought the five scrolls, he said goodbye and walked out of the store.

Junhyuk headed to where he had told Layla to meet, the place with the buff monster.

He was filled with expectations on which buff monster would be waiting for him, but when he got there, Layla was already fighting it.

The buff monster was a Wolf Warlord, and all the war wolves were already dead. The Wolf Warlord was by itself, and all ten meters of it were turning black. That meant that the Wolf Warlord would be able to move as fast as Junhyuk with his acceleration triggered.

Layla had been keeping some distance from it, but she suddenly close in. She swung her sword almost like a flash attack, but now, the attack left a streak of wind pressure in front of the Wolf Warlord.

The pressure turned into a whirlwind that launched the Wolf Warlord into the air. The monster was wounded, and Layla swung her sword again.

Clang!

The Wolf Warlord blocked the attack with its claw, but her power still damaged it. Layla took a stance, holding her sheathed katana and waited. The Wolf Warlord was dropping on her, swinging its claws as it did.

She swung her katana then.

Shing, shing, shing!

She quickly attacked the monster with an eight-hit combo. The Wolf Warlord was covered in blood and fell backward, and that’s when Junhyuk heard Ariel’s voice.

[The Wolf Warlord has been killed. Your health recovery rate will increase by 10 percent for the next five hours. When you attack an enemy, that enemy will lose 10 percent of its movement speed. You can stack the debuff three times. If you are killed within that time frame, you’ll lose your buff to your enemy.]

Layla had killed the buff monster without being hit at all. She had just become a hero, which had made Junhyuk think she probably didn’t have great items. However, her display of power was amazing.

He walked up to her and said, “You are something!”

Layla swung her sword to get rid of the blood, and Junhyuk looked around. He saw three massive stones, which he picked up and put in his Spatial Bag.

Layla asked him, “Why do you need bloodstones?”

“I can use them in my dimension.”

She laughed and sheathed her katana, and he smiled at her.

“I didn’t think you could kill a buff monster that easily.”

Layla explained calmly, “In the past, I couldn’t have done it. However, the items I got here have made me stronger.”

“Did you get a lot of them?”

Layla answered, “A short while ago, the Champions’ Battlefield awarded us with bags of gold. I earned some then, which allowed me to buy two new items.”

He asked her, “Can you tell me about your items?”

Layla wanted to know why he was so curious, but she answered, “They are from the legend set that belonged to Keros. When Gongon killed me, I dropped one of the other items I had. It was better that way.”

Junhyuk knew that Keros had recently become a legend. Keros had focused on both offense and defense, and if Layla had two of his items, she had to be strong now.

Set items increased in power with the number of items you owned from the set. Layla only had two, so she could get even stronger.

He muttered to himself, “Layla, fight with me from now on.”
