Yman chose the sword that about 2 feet in length. It was laying beside the silver shortsword.
The name of the sword was Gladius. It has a double edge. It wasn't too short and wasn't long at the same time. It cost 350 GP only. Much cheaper than the silver shortsword. And had an additional attack of +15, much lower compared to the shortsword.
And weirdly enough, he also bought a spear of 2.5 meters long. For a strategic purpose. It was named as Silver Spear, but only the blade at the tip was made of silver. And the long body stick was made from hardwood, which he assumed was a Demon Wood of rank B+.. This type of wood was unbending and hard as metal.
|So, even in this world, such wood also exist, huh.| He thought as he took the Silver Spear with him to the counter, together with the Gladius sword and 2 daggers. Each weapon was of Common Rank only.
Even as Yman was in front of the person in the counter, the person seemed to be unbothered and only showed him the total price while lifting his thick arm. Without even taking off the straw hat that covered his face. However, Yman noticed a strap of black garter connected to his ear. He guessed that this guy was wearing a mask — or an eyepatch?
The two daggers cost 250 each, so Yman paid 1,350 GP in total. There were some rare quality weapons in the display also. But they cost 5k from the cheapest. And at the moment his money could not be wasted in such a high-quality item. After all, having a good quality weapon could also put one life at risk. No good owning such an item without some strength to protect it. He doesn't want to gather unnecessary trouble for himself.
After paying the bills, seeing the back of a leaving young costumer. The man's eye was peeking underneath the straw hat. No, it wasn't an eye, but a form or marks of an eye.
"The looming storm that gathering above, will soon fall to devastate the land. New heroes will rise, and many comrades will fall. Soon, the minions of light will be scouring the forces of darkness. Yet only the uninvolved residence will suffer more from this insurgence." The man whispered behind the straw hat with a tinge of mystery. However, Yman and Sistela both did not hear it.
All the equipment that he bought were stored in his Cyber Storage.
Yman and Sistela next went to the tailoring shop to buy a cloak with poison resistance. It was stated in mission details that Evil Rats were a poisonous beast. Although the resistance mostly could only resist 10-15% of the poison effect.
Then he goes to the store to buy some potions with poison resistance. For him, more resistance means much safety. He also bought some food.
Yman and Sistela asked some of the residences about the address of certain individuals who posted the quest in the barracks. Of course, the missions that were posted there were not random quests only. They were posted there by some people or residence who wanted some assistance or wanted to get rid of some problems such as monsters who cause some issues in their daily life chores or works.
The person who posted the mission with the title of Gross Evil Rats was a middle-aged woman whose line of works was collecting some weeds inside the Underground Channel. They traveled 30 minutes using a carriage to locate the person.
After seeing the magician sent by the barracks, the middle-age woman seemed to be skeptical. The person in front of her looks like not a magician at all.
He looks sickly for some reason and doesn't have a well built healthy body. Or the blooming face of a magician. Although this person not ugly, but he wasn't handsome as well. The most magician was of a high standard of beauty. But the person in front of her seemed to be normal. He doesn't look strong as well.
He already saw many magicians, and all of them had an aura that was different from an ordinary human.
"Are you really the magician sent by the barracks to complete the given mission?" Asked the woman that sounded skeptical. While looking at Yman with furrowed brows.
Yman scratches his head and did not choose to answer, instead, he took his ID card and showed it to the middle-aged woman.
Seeing the ID card with the mission listed on it, the middle-age woman could only agree and accept the fact this young person in front of her was no doubt a magician sent from the barracks to complete the quest she posted in there.
"About a week ago, like what I had been always doing, I went to the Underground Channel to collect some weeds. The weeds are no ordinary weeds. They have the ability to heal a person sickness...blah blah blah!" The middle-aged woman explained to them her experience.
She said that she was just collecting these magical weeds that she discovered appearing since last 3 months ago. And these weeds were magically made of ice. No, basically the weeds were coated in ice. And those weeds when boiled with water and let the sick person drunk it. It could heal their sickness. And give the person a relaxing feeling.
They then called the weeds as Iceweeds Cold-Reliever.
After the news of such weeds reached the ears of other people who's a line of works was gathering herbs, they also started collecting the weeds. And so the Iceweeds become popular inside the city.
The price also started changing. Behind the scene, some people started to manipulate the price in the market.
Yman has the gist of what the woman said. After all, humans are born scam no matter what era. Not all but most.
This chaptEr upl0ad from novElbin(dot)com
Although the market price becomes messy. And the original collectors earned less day by day. But this income gave them big help for their daily life needs.
However, this past week some Evil Rats started showing up. They attack the people who tried to gather the weeds inside the Underground Channel. Which causes a big hurdle in their line of works.
Yman did not expect such drama for his first quest. Although what written in the quest description was just to kill 5 Evil Rats. Was the test really just as simple as killing 5 beasts? However, it might be simple to others, but not for him.
After 1 hour and 30 minutes of travel, Yman and Sistela reached the entrance. The Underground Channel entrance was located on the westside of the Human City Z7.
Yman asked Sistela about the current time before they going to enter the Underground Channel entrance.He nodded at her after her reply and reminded himself that he only had 2 hours to finish his intention in this place for the day.But Sistela has seemingly noticed something.Suddenly, her complaint was heard by him.At the moment he was wearing a cloak of black color. It covered his body like a robe. His mouth and nose were covered by a mask to get rid of the pungent smell that might invade his throat. The cloak and mask both had poison resistance.His enemies were poisonous creatures, so, it was only natural for him to dress such a way.. No one knows if when the danger would come. One could only realize a danger after they found themselves in a situation.Yman's lips extended into a smile after hearing her, then he cleared his throat and said: "It's not like that. The air
The Underground Channel entrance located at the west side of the city, under the bridge, and near the river-dam that streaming steadily towards the end. On the opposite side of the entrance, there was a big dumpsite area that could be seen a little distant from the river-dam. The place was known as West District.At the dumpsite, he could see some smokes that were flying towards the sky and resembles the clouds as they continued to hover higher.After Yman stepped in the entrance, he asked his deity to activate the radar.Sistela replied:He said: "It's not sudden. It's better to have a perfect mapping from the entrance towards the farthest area that we can reach." She questioned him.He scratched his face and replied: "Don't worry, we sure to leave the place before it happened.."Hearing what he said, she resigned then followed what he wants and activated the radar without further retorts.But she really was worried if she emp
Yman scratches his head and forced a dry laugh when he realized that the water passage was still too small for the monster to pass through.He remembered what Mrs. Merced (the woman who issued the quest) said to him. That when he reached the dead end, there was a hole where a person can pass through to his left side. But Yman could not see it, the hole that she mentioned.Suddenly, he heard Sistela's call: He then glanced at the map that was hanging steadily above him. He noticed a thin layer of the wall outline. Based on the map, it was located two steps away from his left side."Must be a camouflage." He muttered and summoned his spear from Cyber Storage..He then pokes the part where the thin layer on the map was shown. Yman narrowed his eyes when the wall that looks so sturdy bend inwardly like a piece of something soft like it was made of cloth, a camouflage cloth to be specific.|It's a well-made replica of the wall.| He thought. |But
Sistela warned after noticing the second Evil Rat made a wise leap in the air while opening its largemouth. Some green liquids were splattering around and looking like small particles of lights when they were hit by the illumination of brilliance from his holographic map.Yman narrowed his eyes. Even though this Evil Rat managed to avoid the ball-web traps, the smoke abled to hinder its vision.He summoned his strength and sent a stab to the leaping Evil Rat.Shing!-30 HP in the red text was visible in his vision when his stab was successfully landed on the Evil Rat's jaw, which followed by squeaking noises from the Evil Rat when the tip of Gladius sword dig in about 3 centimeters in its flesh.|20 defense!| Yman quickly calculated the enemy's defense based on the damage that he dealt it.He has 20 attacks and an additional 15 from the resonance with his deity and another 15 from his Gladius sword. It was 50 in total, but he only managed to take 30 of the monster's healt
Reflected in his eyes the shining image of the Evil Rat that was undergoing an evolution phase.The brilliance that envelopes its body had even brightened the place a little.Tsk! Yman as he gnashed his teeth. Never in his wildest dream to be able to see an actual evolution phase of a beast.Seemingly, beasts or monsters will undergo an evolution phase when their battle experience reached a certain threshold.Currently, Yman was downed on his butt on the cold pavement ground, while staring at the Evil Rat in surprised and without batting an eye. Sistela's voice rang in his ears which made him snapped from the shock and pulled him back to reality.He did not even notice his health points which now short of 150 points. After the tail whip attacked that landed on his back, -150 health points were taken from his health bar..He certainly questioned his luck. If seeing it from a different perspective, he might be lucky for witnessing such a rare event. But the situati
The other Elite members seemed like they were from the native of this world.Kesha glanced at the empty seat. The person whoowned it was still recovering at the moment. He was sent to the famous magical hospital in this city.Sadly, he had injured himself at that time when they fought the rank C+ Mustang Spider. But because of having great talents in magic and owning 4 different types of ability for being a fledgling trainee only was more than enough for him to acquire a seat as an Elite trainee without going through the test.Kesha could only sigh and prayed for his fast recovery.Next to her was a man with medium length red hair. He was sitting calmly while closing his eyes and arms across his chest. With his right leg on top of his left knee.. This person was no other than Mai's cousin, Brai.Kesha noted that this person was also a handsome man and was kind of mysterious. Unlike the infamous wastrel who only knows how to hurt his comrades.Everyone certainly thought that that guy
Not only humans fighting against humans, but also demihumans were against demihumans, and beasts fighting against beasts."The video you just watched were collections of clips from the previous battle in the Worlds Magic Academy Competition." Suddenly said the elder in a stern voice that devoid of emotions.It was cold and a little hoarse.Ahem. (She cleared her throat once again.)The Elites remained silent waiting for the continuation of the elder's words."Probably, some of you might already know the purpose of Magic Academies. Or why it was in such a rule or system. It was of course to prepare you from the sudden attacks of the real enemies lurking everywhere.. But before that, some precarious issues needed to be solved at first.Support us at N~ovElB(I)N(.)NETRight now, this academy was in a tight situation and was in danger of getting pulled out from this world. If that happened, not only the academy would be gone.Also the city itself.Since, this city's resources mostly came
While the meetings of the members of the Elites were ongoing, Yman was struggling against the evolved Evil Rat which now had the name of Noble Rat and reached the pinnacle of D, the D+ Wanderer.Now it stood on its 2 limbs. It's supposed red eyes had turned into hazy yellow. Its pure dark blue fur that covered its whole body, now had milky-white fur arcing on its stomach down to its middle part. Its two ears grew longer, about 10 inches long that stood like horns on its pointy head. And on its face, gleaming in metallic luster, the whiskers were protruding like long needles. Even its razor-sharp claws had grown longer and sharper.Khaaaaaaaa!!! It suddenly yelled. The raspy shrill from it sent shivers on him.The cloak he was wearing had already torn, the clothes were tattered, and marks of blood could be spotted on some of its torn areas.If not because of his healing magic, not only his clothes would be torn at the moment but also his flesh.. For once he was thankful for having such
