215 Upgrading Equipment 2

Translator: Moliere Editor: SootyOwl

Junhyuk's eyes widened after checking the set items' effects.

"That's awesome!"

He'd only been able to gain that type of buff before by killing he Gale Queen Harpy. It was a type of buff that could proc continuously. It had a 20 percent chance of working, but if it worked with the Spatial Slash, it would be great.

"There's a reason to gather a low-level item set."

Vera heard Junhyuk murmuring, and she smiled as she asked, "Did you purchase another Pure Golden Knight set item?"

"Yes, but it's too flashy. People will easily notice it!"

"Why are you so concerned? If you complete the entire set, you'll be covered in gold."

"What?!"

"Didn't you know why the Pure Golden Knight is called PURE GOLDEN Knight?"

Junhyuk broke into cold sweats. Would he have to be covered in gold? He turned to Bebe as if asking for help.

"Do you have dye?"

"Of course, I have dye. I have everything in here. However, it's very expensive."

Bebe had said expensive, which probably meant Junhyuk couldn't afford it.

"How much is it?"

"For set items that can level up, the dye costs 50,000G a piece."

Junhyuk felt like collapsing. He wanted to save money, so for a while, he would have to wear the gold.

Artlan walked in suddenly, and upon seeing Junhyuk's cloak, he smiled.

"The Pure Golden Knight Elder's Cloak!"

"You know of it?"

"That's such a cheesy color! I heard the Elder was the only one to wear such a cheesy color in all of the battlefield's history."

"Have you ever met him?"

"Never met him. He became a legend a long time ago," he said and slapped Junhyuk's shoulder while walking over to Bebe. "Do you have the Light Wind Bracelets?"

"Are you looking for two?"

"I have no choice. Right now, those are the only set items I can carry."

"They are so effective for only two set items. There is nothing like them. You are in luck! I have them!"

"How much?"

"For both, 700,000G."

Junhyuk heard, dumbfounded, the astronomical sum being discussed. However, while the basic price for items in the Pure Golden Knight Elder set was 100,000G, he would need an additional 200,000G to level them up. In essence, each item would cost him 300,000G.

Thinking that way, Artlan's items seemed to have a fair price.

However, did Artlan have that kind of money? Vera had gained her money from the items she stole from the Ancient Dragon's Lair. While Junhyuk worried, Artlan extended his hand nonchalantly and paid. Bebe handed him the two items.

"Did you bet all of your assets?!"

"I thought I would win."

"Don't be overconfident. The opponents will have another champion next time."

"Junhyuk can kick his ass!"

"You have a lot of trust in him."

He put the two bracelets on and said, "OK. Let's go!"

"Wait a minute," Junhyuk said and walked over to Bebe and pulled out the return stone. "I have to refill my return stone."

"How many do you want?"

"Do it ten times."

He needed 4,500G, but he had over 150,000G and could easily afford it. Without his return stone refilled, he wouldn't be able to get back to the castle at a moment's notice.

Bebe handed him the plate, and Junhyuk paid the cost. He had 152,760G left, and Bebe refilled his return stone. After taking it, Junhyuk looked at Artlan.

"Where are we going?"

Artlan walked outside with the others and said, "We'll split the party first and then attack the center. It'll take long time for our enemies to reach the castle, so we'll push top and bottom. Diane already went to the bottom path and killed Regina. We'll join her."

Junhyuk nodded. They would regroup with Diane and attack the second tower at the bottom path, putting pressure on their enemies.

"What if they gather there?"

"Then, retreat."

Junhyuk smiled bitterly and followed Artan. Diane and Artlan conversed, and they took a different route and ran. It was important to regroup with Diane as soon as possible.

They join Diane enroute to the second tower. Diane waved at them widely and said, "Hurry! The enemies who've revived are coming this way!"

Their enemies couldn't insist on pushing through the center. The probably was higher that only one or two would head that way, so it was important to keep pressuring them, so they wouldn't be able to flee.

Junhyuk inhaled deeply and murmured, "I'm glad Sarang isn't here."

Diane looked at his cloak and laughed.

"Are you wearing the Pure Golden Knight Cloak?"

"Yes. I have five items of the set now."

"You are lucky!"

One couldn't just collect set items by having enough money. The items had to be available. When the set items were unavailable, one had to give up on the pursuit.

"Let's hurry."

"Yes."

With Diane, the group ran to the second tower. Their enemies, however, were already there.

"Were they expecting us?"

Bater, Killa and Doctor Tula were present. Adolphe was standing next to them.

"This will be a victory by the sword."

"Right."

There were three heroes and a champion on each side. Their skills would decide the victor, and Junhyuk expected to win. He and the others had gotten new equipment. The allies firepower was superior to what it was just a moment ago.

The combination types were the same as the enemies'. Bater and Artlan were the tanks, and the other two in each team were damage dealers.

Artlan said, "Let's kick some ass!"

He ran ahead first, and Junhyuk ran after him. Bater started running toward them while bumping his fists together and smoking a cigar.

"All right! Come on"

This would be a fair battle, and the losers would have no room for complaint. When they got within Bater's range, he rushed. Ordinarily, Artlan would have jumped to avoid Bater, but that time was different.

Artlan stood in Bater's path.

Boom!

He was pushed back, and Bater swung a one-two combo. While Artlan had been hit, he remained steadfast and delivery his seven-strike combo in close range. Junhyuk was watching it all unfold.

Artlan's seven-strike combo dealt different damage to different enemies. Previously, it would deal 15 percent damage on Bater. This time, however, it dealt 20 percent damage. The Light Wind Bracelets had increased his damage by at least 30 percent.

Bater had 80 percent of his health when Diane shot her continuous volley. The arrows spun, striking Bater along with Vera's firespear.

Boom!

Every attack succeeded, and Bater was left with 15 percent of his health. Vera's magic had increased significantly in power, and even Bater was surprised.

The enemies struck. Doctor Tula tied Artlan in his webs to prevent him from attacking Bater any further. Meanwhile, someone fired at Artlan.

Bang!

Junhyuk raised the force field around Artlan, and within it, the webs dismantled themselves. Artlan was free, and he launched his saber.

Bater raised both of his hands to block, but the saber went through his stomach.

"Ugh!"

With only 15 percent of his health, Bater lost the rest and disappeared. While Artlan was a tank, he also focused on attack damage. Bater, on the other hand, didn't have the same capacity to deal damage. That meant that Artlan now had the power to kill him.

The enemies were flabbergasted, and Junhyuk smiled. With force field surrounding the allies, the enemies couldn't do anything, so they retreated to their tower.

Artlan shook with adrenaline and said, "Attack before the force field is gone!"

"Right!"

Arrows couldn't get through the field, so the allies got inside it and ran toward the tower. Killa grimaced and took some steps back.

"What are you going to do?"

"I did not know Bater would be killed so fast."

Junhyuk had also been surprised, and he could guess at how the enemy felt. He sped up, and Diane shouted, "Behind you!"

Everyone looked back, and Jean Clo dashed out of the reed field. He had been hiding there, preparing to surprise attack the allies, but since Bater had been killed very quickly, he had lost his chance.

Junhyuk said, "Let's kill them first!"

"Right! Kill Killa first!"

Killa had the highest attack among the enemies, but her defense was low. So, if they concentrated their attacks on her, they would kill her.

Junhyuk swung the Frozen Rune Sword at her. She turned to dodge, and that was when Junhyuk used the Spatial Slash on her neck with the Blood Rune Sword. The 20 percent chance triggered, and the extra attack dealt an additional 50 percent damage to her.

As Junhyuk had expected, the Spatial Slash also took advantage of the extra attack. It was a critical hit that took 40 percentage off Killa's health, leaving her with 60 percent.

Junhyuk had seen it, but he couldn't believe what he had done. Artlan jumped, and Killa jumped back, dodging Artlan's strike. Junhyuk knew Artlan wouldn't catch her, so he touched Vera and Diane and teleported.

The group attacked Killa.

Diane's explosive arrows hit her, and Vera cast a firespear at her. The damage had gone over the limit, and Killa disappeared. It all happened suddenly, and Jean Clo, who was still chasing after the allies, shouted, "NO!"

He was furious, but it was too late. The allies would win that round.

Artlan closed in to Doctor Tula, swinging his saber, but the doctor blocked the attack with his front legs.

Clang!

In response, Doctor Tula fired his missiles at Artlan.

Boom!

Artlan staggered while Diane shot her arrow barrage. Five arrows with ten moonlit arrowheads hit Doctor Tula and Adolphe. After the two were attacked, the force field disappeared.

Then, Adolphe stabbed the ground with the saw-bladed sword.

Two blue boomerangs of energy shot out from him and tie Vera and Diane up. The allies are within range of the tower's archers, and Vera and Diane were being hit by them.

Artlan was fighting Doctor Tula while Junhyuk turned to face Jean Clo. The Spatial Slash was still under cooldown, but Junhyuk wanted to lure Jean Clo in.

He ran forward, and Jean Clo's eyes shone.

"I don't have time to play with you!"

Jean Clo really wanted Junhyuk dead, but he didn't have time. Bater and Killa were dead, and Jean Clo wanted to decrease number of allied heroes.

He tried to brush past Junhyuk while saving his rush to use on the heroes, and Junhyuk scoffed at him. Jean Clo blocked Junhyuk's sword attacks with his arms. Unable to cut through, Junhyuk was pushed back. However, he had managed to slash Jean Clo's thigh with the Frozen Rune Sword.

He couldn't dream of killing Jean Clo with normal attacks, but debuffing him was different. Two attacks went through, and Jean Clo was slowed down considerably.

"I must play with you, then!"
