Chapter 96: New Power 2
Translator - - Editor - -
Bebe noticed Junhyuk being back so soon and smiled at him.
"What happened to Vera?"
"Vera returned."
Bebe nodded.
"It's lucky that she wasn't killed."
Halo walked over to Bebe.
"I need the Wind God Bracelet."
Bebe stared at him blankly.
"Really? It costs two hundred and fifty thousand gold?"
"I've been saving to get it."
Halo pulled out two items from his chest and extended his hand. Bebe pushed his plate forward, and Halo looked at his sum. Bebe smiled.
"You have enough. Are you buying it?"
"Correct."
"It's a good thing you are getting it. Does that complete your set?"
"I can't buy expensive items that fast!"
"Yeah, set items cost too much."
Bebe laughed a little, and from under the counter, he pulled out a small box and opened it. A cutting wind rose out of the opening.
Halo rarely smiled, but he did this time.
"Now, I've got it."
He put the bracelet on and slashed his sword lightly through the air. Gusts howled from the blade.
"Is that a set item?" Junhyuk asked.
"Yes. I haven't collected all of the items in the set, but it's more effective now. Now, I can fight, " Halo said, and Junhyuk trusted him.
Halo looked at Diane, and she stepped forward and pulled out two items as well.
"You got the Moonlight Quiver?"
"You want it?"
"It would be the greatest help."
"It costs three hundred thousand gold. you know?"
"I know."
Junhyuk thought those items were extremely expensive, and Diane paid and picked up the quiver. She girded it around her waist and pulled an arrow from it. The arrow looked ordinary before, but now it had a soothing moonlight glow. She nocked it on her bow and smiled.
"I am expecting something special."
Junhyuk didn't know much, but he knew they'd been saving up to buy those items, and Vera had also paid a lot for her item. Then, Bebe turned to look at Junhyuk.
"Do you want something else as well?"
"Wait a second."
He hadn't inspected the item he picked up, so he did it then.

Wind Lizard's Leather Arm Warmer
Defense +15
Attack Speed +10%
Poison Damage +20
Made out of a wind lizard's skin, this arm warmer increases defense by fifteen and attack speed by 10 percent. It also increases poison damage by twenty. It was made by hand.

Junhyuk was really surprised by the buffs.
"Isn't this really good?" he asked.
"They are more advanced than we are, so their items should be of a higher quality. It would be very expensive, " Halo said after inspecting it.
Junhyuk was curious about the price and gave the Wind Lizard's Arm Warmer to Bebe.
"How much is this?"
Bebe checked it out and answered, "It's a good item... It's normally a hundred thousand gold. If you are selling it, I'll give you fifty thousand gold."
Junhyuk measured his options. With the fifty thousand gold, he could upgrade his Blood Rune Sword a 7th time.
"Think about it first. If you won't use it, you should sell it, " Halo said, worrying about him.
He understood the power of the Wind Lizard's Leather Arm Warmer. It increased attack speed and defense and added some fixed damage that would go through his enemy's defense.
He was still thinking about it when Diane asked, "If you are keeping it, will you engrave it?"
"Yes."
"You'll have to get naked."
Junhyuk sighed.
"I'm thinking about this seriously. Don't joke."
"I'm not joking."
Junhyuk shook his head.
"I'll keep it."
He could get fifty thousand gold for it, but he thought about it and he would be losing the same amount by letting it go. He also liked the buffs.
So, he turned to Bebe.
"Engrave it for me."
"Where do you want it?"
Engravings left him with tattoo marks. He didn't want anybody seeing them, so he wanted it some place where people couldn't see.
"Can't you engrave it over the same spot of a previous engraving?"
"You mean a complex engraving."
Junhyuk didn't know about that.
"Is that possible?"
"It's possible, but it's a difficult job, so the price is doubled."
"So, each complex engraving is two thousand gold?
"Correct."
Previously, he wouldn't have paid that much, but now he had some money and he didn't want tattoos covering his entire body. So, he chose to get the complex engraving.
Junhyuk placed his hand on the plate. He had 12, 240G from his contribution in killing Jean Clo.
"Do you just want the Wind Lizard's Leather Arm Warmer engraved?"
"No. This one as well."
He handed over the Dark Night Cloak, and Bebe smiled.
"There is a limit of three for complex engravings."
"Then, do it twice over here."
He wanted to do it inside his left wrist. He paid, and the four thousand gold were subtracted, leaving him with 8, 240G.
Junhyuk felt awkward when Bebe took off his armor. He was naked and instinctively covered his butt with his hands.
Slap!
He was able to block Diane's hand that was about to slap him. Still covering his butt, he glared at her.
"Stop it."
"By the way, you forgot to cover your privates."
"What?!"
He was only covering his rear and not the front.
"Big brother!"
Junhyuks was about to turn around when Sarang covered her eyes with her hands. Junhyuk covered his front with the countertop by pushing himself against it and kept covering his rear with his hands.
"Do it quickly!"
"Right."
Bebe laughed and engraved both shapes on his wrist. It didn't take a long time, and Junhyuk wondered about having to pay twice as much for it. Diane was looking at his butt, and Sarang was looking at him naked. After being engraved, he quickly summoned the black armor and looked at Diane. She was laughing hard.
"We are late. Let's move!" Junhyuk said. He didn't want to argue with Diane and looked at Halo instead and asked, "Where are we going?"
"The heroes are gathering on Artlan. Vera is joining him. We should join him as well."
"OK."
Halo took the lead, and Junhyuk followed him. They headed to where Artlan and Bater were fighting each other. They had taken the 1st tower, but if the enemy was there, they would be attacking their tower.
Vera was also coming, so the allies would have five people there. If the enemy heroes weren't all there, the allies would have the numerical superiority.
The allies might lose other towers, but killing enemy heroes would work out the best, so the group moved quickly. The worst outcome would be if Artlan and Nudra got killed before they got there.
---
The group moved diligently and reached Artlan and Nudra. They were next to a tower, watching the enemy. It was a good thing that Vera was also already there. If not, they would have lost the tower.
They were being attacked by Bater, Regina, Doctor Tula and Adolphe. Adolphe was attacking, but they were within Vera's range, and she was casting her magic. If the enemy attacked in full force, the allies might have been pushed back.
The enemy was keeping their distance, and Regina had her pistols out. They could be preparing to push, but they might also just be waiting for someone else.
Junhyuk looked at Halo.
"They are waiting for someone."
"It looks that way."
The enemy had lost the 1st tower and couldn't get it reinforced. If the allies attacked, they might abandon their own tower. The enemy hadn't spotted them yet. If they had, they would have attacked. Halo, Diane, Junhyuk and Sarang were about to join them.
Halo nodded, pulled out a marble and closed his eyes. He was telling the others they were there. His eyes opened a moment later.
"Artlan will move first. When the enemy engages him, we will attack them from behind."
Junhyuk nodded. It was dangerous, but he still had to do it. If Artlan got killed, there would be nothing to be done, but they went with the plan.
Artlan and Nudra stepped forward, but Bater and his company moved back. Still, the enemy heroes wanted to fight.
As they retreated, Halo said, "Sarang will join us this time. Junhyuk!"
"Yes?"
"Stay with her, and if she is in danger teleport her away."
Junhyuk nodded heavily. They could use Sarang's power. The allied heroes were powerful, but they lack powers to restrain or paralyze the enemy. However, the enemy was different. To deal with them, Sarang would be needed.
Artlan was far from the tower when Bater moved. Bater, their strongest hero, took the lead, and the other enemy heroes followed him. If they got within range, they would have a bigger problem. At that point, they were just feeling each other out, but the enemies had the power to close the distance very quickly.
If they restrained the allies, they could kill an allied hero very quickly with their firepower. The allies also started moving.
Halo had the same thought and said, "We should get closer." He looked at Diane and added, "We must attack first, before the enemy does."
"Don't worry."
Halo nodded and ran. Diane ran after him, and Junhyuk and Sarang followed her. If possible, they wanted to win the team battle, but at the very least, Sarang had to survive.
The enemies saw Halo approaching from the rear, and Bater shouted, "Follow the plan!"
Bater rushed toward Artlan. Regina dashed at high speed, and Adolphe and Doctor Tula followed her. They used all of their might to catch Artlan and company.
"I will attack first, " Halo said.
After he spoke, he increased his movement speed. Halo was on high gear, and Junhyuk watched him go. His speed had increased 60 percent from his regular speed.
He did not catch up with Bater and Regina, but he got to Doctor Tula and Adolphe. Junhyuk frowned. Doctor Tula and Adolphe could tie up their enemies, and had significant attack powers. Halo could be in real danger.
As Halo closed in, Adolphe stabbed the ground with his mechanical sword and launched his boomerang. Halo tried to hit the boomerang with his sword, but it was not something you could hit, so he was paralyzed, and Doctor Tula advanced. Adolphe lifted his mechanical sword up high, and Junhyuk grabbed Diane's shoulder and teleported himself closer.
Diane, who had also been teleported, was within range to attack the enemy. She took out five arrows at the same time and nocked them.
"You did good. I will give you a spanking later."
After she said that, the five arrows flew toward Adolphe and Tula doctor.
