He was watching Jean Clo disappear and sighing when a shadow loomed over his head. Junhyuk turned to look, and Sarang extended her hand to him.

"Are you OK?"

"Well, I didn't die, so I must be fine."

He grabbed her hand and got up, and Diane and Vera walked over and told him, "You did well."

He stretched his neck lightly and started cleaning the dirt off his armor. Diane walked over sneakily and cleaned the dirt off his butt.

"You've got a lot of dirt on you."

"Are you cleaning me?"

"That's right. Do you think I have dark, ulterior motives?"

Diane smiled while she cleaned the dirt off his butt, and Junhyuk was left not knowing what to say, simply turning to Sarang instead.

"Did you pick up the item Bater dropped?"

"Ah! Wait a second!"

She ran back and picked it up. Unexpectedly, Bater had dropped a pair of boots, and Sarang showed them to Junhyuk.

Steel Military Boots

Defense +15

Magic Defense +15

Movement Speed -5%

Health +200

These are dense military boots. When wearing them, you can inflict a lot of pain by kicking someone's shin. Defense and magic defense increase by fifteen. Due to their weight, movement speed decreases by 5 percent. They also increase health by 200.

Junhyuk looked at the boots' attributes and was glad.

"This is good. I was worried about your low health."

"Wouldn't these fit you better?"

"No. They increase health and defense, so they'll work better on you. I don't like the fact they decrease movement speed, but you can get another item to increase your movement speed somewhere."

"That's right, but you are the one who does most of the fighting."

Junhyuk shrugged said, "Yes, but it still matters whether or not you get killed in a single hit. Even more so for an expert, a 200 health increase is really nice. You should keep it."

Sarang thought about it for a moment and nodded.

"OK."

Junhyuk felt better then because he had less to worry about her. With her health at that level, she would at least survive a single hit from the heroes.

Vera frowned and said, "We've been hit."

"Who?"

Vera licked her lips and said, "Our upper and lower towers have both been destroyed. The enemies attacking those have been killed, but Nudra also died."

"Things are as good as we thought!"

At that point, the allies had cleared the first upper and lower towers, but they also had lost theirs, and they had lost both of the central towers. As a whole, their position was dire.

With the second central tower destroyed, someone had to stay at the castle.

Vera took a moment to think.

"Nudra's been killed, so lower path is vulnerable. I'll head there myself."

Diane shook her head and said, "No. I'll go there instead. Vera, you take Junhyuk and go to Dimensional Merchant."

"Is that OK?"

"You need more equipment, and it'll be easier to deal with the enemies after." Vera nodded at that, and Diane continued, "When Artlan revives, I'll send him to you. Sarang can defend this place alone."

Sarang hesitated and said, "But I don't have communication crystal."

"Use the Kasha, and Junhyuk will tell us."

Vera had decided the matter at hand, the group decided to follow her decision. Junhyuk was alone with Vera, and both started off. It might have been better to wait until Artlan revived, but the enemies were moving quickly. It would be best ot upgrade their equipment first.

Even if he was alone with Vera, Junhyuk remained on the lookout. The Dimensional Battlefield was so large that it wouldn't be possible to spot Doctor Tula's spiders. He might get lucky, but he couldn't see any at that point. While the enemies might find out where they were, it was still a good idea to visit the Dimensional Merchant.

They reached their destination without meeting anyone and, upon entering, they found Bebe yawning hard.

Bebe waved at them and smiled.

"You came!"

Vera walked over to him, and Bebe smiled and said, "You've all been handsomely rewarded this time. Do you want to buy something?"

Vera whispered to Bebe, "Do you have the Phoenix set?"

"You want it?"

"I think this is the right time to get it."

"It's a fire set, so not many people are looking for it, but set items themselves are always hard to get, just so you know."

"So, do you have it or not?"

Bebe smiled and pulled out item by item.

"So far, I've collected four Phoenix set items, but do you know how much these will cost you?"

"How much?"

"A total of 1,200,000G."

Vera exhaled deeply and said, "Then, check these out."

She pulled out some things and showed them to Bebe, who inspected them and whistled.

"Did you steal these from a Dragon's Lair?"

"I found them at the Ancient Dragon's Lair. I got them from there."

Bebe inspected the items more thoroughly and, astonished, he said, "They are impressive. Wait a moment. I'll calculate the entire price for them."

Junhyuk looked at Vera enviously. How much would think from the Ancient Dragon's Lair bring in? Bebe had already said they were impressive, so they had to be worth a lot.

Bebe took a while calculating and said, "This is the most you've brought me so far, and they are items of the highest quality."

"So, how much?"

"For these, 1,980,000G. I'll give your another 20,000G, so how does 2,000,000G sound?"

"Perfect. Then, give me the Phoenix Set first."

"Sure."

Junhyuk watched Vera as very purchased everything. She looked powerful, and even after spending 1,200,000G, she still had 800,000G. What had she actually found at the Ancient Dragon's Lair?

Junhyuk was jealous, and he started to feel sick, but his sickness was short-lived. Vera untied her cloak, and changed clothes right in front of him. A glint came over his eyes, and Bebe made a tent. However, before the tent had been set up, Junhyuk had been able to see her beautiful bottom.

Right at the moment he saw it, the tent went up, and Junhyuk smacked his lips. A moment later, Vera walked out of the tent, and Junhyuk's mouth hung wide open. Her outfit only covered the important part. Besides that, she was practically naked. With feathers covering her privates, she explained calmly, "Even though it looks like this, it has a lot of defense."

"It's a set, so it must be powerful!"

"Sure. Fire mages wear it. It's a very impressive set."

"How many items are required for the full set?"

"Eight items, but even now my damage has increased and my cooldowns have decreased. I can kill our enemies faster than ever before."

Junhyuk was surprised to hear that there was something to decrease cooldowns. Was that even possible?

Junhyuk looked at her with surprise, but Vera wanted to upgrade her equipment with enhancement stones, so she spent the rest of the 800,000G on the stones and doing all the basic upgrades on all four items.

Junhyuk had just witnessed her spending 2,000,000G. He had been shocked by Gongon's expenditures previously, but Vera's had far surpassed those.

He wanted to bring back stuff from South Korea and upgrade his equipment like the heroes did. He thought he might have to put together a museum heist and smiled bitterly.

"And I have something you spoke of," Bebe said.

"I spoke of something?"

"You were looking for Pure Golden Knight Elder set items."

"What?!" Junhyuk's eyes sparkled, and he repeated, "What is it?"

Bebe showed him a golden cloak, and Junhyuk was dumbfounded

A golden cloak!

He was wearing the Dark Night Cloak, which went well with his black armor. The golden cloak wouldn't match. However, he still wanted to buy it. He had been waiting a long time for another item.

"How much is it?"

"It's 100,000G. Cheap, right?"

Junhyuk nodded and asked, "But isn't the Phoenix set too expensive when compared to it?"

Cheap was good, but the quality did matter. He wanted a good deal.

"I know what you are worried about, but don't worry. You can increase the level of set items, but it takes a lot of money."

Junhyuk smacked his lips and asked, "How much does each level-up cost?"

"Each will cost you 200,000G."

"Is a level-up better than an upgrade?"

"Basic upgrades are better than level-ups, but the level-ups will work out to your benefit in the long term. Upgrades get erased when the item levels up."

What Bebe meant is that he should go with the level-up over the basic upgrade. That way, he could upgrade his items after they were leveled up.

"But the item belonged to a legendary figure, and it's a set item. How come it's at such a low level?"

Bebe answered nonchalantly, "Back then, things were just beginning, and the quality of combatants wasn't as great as it is now. Nowadays, a hero who puts everything in attack won't succeed and won't become a legend."

Junhyuk smiled bitterly. There was a history to the items and the Dimensional Merchant. The legends of the past wouldn't necessarily become legends in Junhyuk's time.

"Could I check on how much money I have?"

"Sure."

Junhyuk placed his hand on the plate and became ecstatic. The number 107,260 showed up. The item required 100,000G, so he could buy it.

"I'll take it."

"Sure. What are you going to do with the cloak you are wearing?"

He didn't want to sell the Dark Night Cloak, but he said, "I have something else to sell."

He wanted to gather the Pure Golden Knight set items, so he didn't need it anymore. He also couldn't wear the golden cloak in South Korea, so he decided to keep the Dark Night Cloak. However, he didn't need the Mad Doctor's Coat anymore.

He showed it to Bebe and said, "How much will this get me?"

Bebe checks it out and replied, "I'll give you 150,000G."

That was more than Junhyuk had expected, so he answered, "Deal!"

Bebe bought it, and Junhyuk hummed as he earned a quick 150,000G.

"Then, give me the cloak now."

He took the Pure Golden Knight Elder's Cloak, worth 100,000G, and touched it. His heart was pounding, but he relaxed before inspecting it.

Pure Golden Knight Elder's Cloak (Set Item)

Attack +10

Defense +5

Evade +3%

The Golden Knight Elder wore this cloak. In the past, he was called a legend and he carried items to increase his attack power. There was no one who could withstand a blow from him.

Having a complete set increases the power of the item.

Two-Item Set Effect: Armor Piercing +35

Three-Item Set Effect: Additional Fixed Damage +50

Four-Item Set Effect: 50% area of effect damage at a 10-meter radius.

Five-Item Set Effect: 20% chance of an extra attack at 50% normal damage.
