Chapter 88: Silver Wrist

"Is this the end?"

The Scarlet Knight knelt on the ground, the scarlet light beneath his armor gradually dimming; he propped his long sword in front of him, supporting his body to keep from falling, and then fell silent.

【You have achieved victory in battle!

Maximum HP of you and your companion 【Lucy】 +3

You obtained item 【Gold Coin】 ×1431 【Pickpocketing lv6+81】

You obtained equipment 【Scarlet Cross Sword】】

【Scarlet Cross Sword (Blue)】

【Attack Power +14】

【Passive Skill: Steady Center of Gravity】

【Allows you to walk on flat ground in most environments, Dodge +15, Precision Correction +20, Critical Hit +3%】

【Passive Skill: Scarlet】

【Bloodline users gain +5 additional Attack Power with this weapon, and skill damage when injecting 【Qi·Scarlet】 +15%】

【The sidearm of a Scarlet Knight, once a weapon bathed in radiance and glory, later fell alongside its master.】

【You have reached the current tier limit; you must complete the breakthrough mission to continue leveling up!】

【Experience points have been stored.】

"Holy crap, an Artifact!"

After the Scarlet Knight's body turned to dust and dissipated, the cross long sword propped on the ground did not disappear with him, but instead became Yun Mu's loot.

A blue-quality weapon, Attack Power +14, with an additional +5 Attack for Bloodline users, and on top of that, permanent stats of Dodge +15, Precision Correction +20, and Critical Hit +3%.

The only problem is.

"I don't even know how to use a sword," Yun Mu said with a pained expression as she gripped the cross long sword.

To have an Artifact sitting right in front of her, yet be unable to use it—this feeling...

"Wait, doesn't Lucy have the 【Sword Mastery】 trait and the 【Light Kite Swordsmanship】 skill?" she suddenly thought.

Since Lucy's spell damage is just mediocre anyway, why not have her stand in the front and use melee skills to deal damage?

This long sword also increases Attack Power, which she could pair with 【Bite】 to restore her own health.

Besides, this incident showed her just how troublesome it is to have two squishy characters standing in the back row if they encounter an enemy capable of area-of-effect strikes.

It would be better to actively separate her and Lucy, so that even if they encounter area-of-effect strikes, they won't both end up in a Near Death state.

"Tentative plan, I can try it later."

Pushing the thought aside, Yun Mu waved at Xiaoqie.

"Gaba gaba gaba!"

Chester pounced over excitedly, constantly rubbing his lid against her palm.

"Stop it."

Patting his head, Yun Mu took off the Bone-Severing Great Blade.

"Can you fit this thing inside?" she asked, looking at Chester.

"Gaba!" Chester responded.

It seemed he could.

"Gaba gaba gaba!"

"You mean you want to eat this thing?" Yun Mu asked, unsure, as she felt the emotions coming through the contract.

"Gaba."

"Then go ahead and eat it; it's useless anyway."

She placed the Bone-Severing Great Blade on the ground.

"Gaba!"

Chester was visibly excited; he extended his large pink tongue, wrapped it around the hilt of the Bone-Severing Great Blade, and pulled it into his belly.

There was no special reaction; it looked quite normal.

"Let's keep moving!"

After observing Chester's state for a while after he ate the Bone-Severing Great Blade, Yun Mu, feeling it was nothing interesting, slung the Scarlet Cross Sword over her back and said.

The Dungeon Leader had already been challenged, so this dungeon was likely coming to an end.

Might there be a clear-reward Treasure Chest or something behind?

Just like the last dungeon.

Thinking about the Treasure Chest, Yun Mu led Lucy, Dabai, and Chester along the path.

Soon, an exquisite wooden Treasure Chest appeared at the end of the path.

"There really is a chest!"

Yun Mu's eyes lit up the moment she saw the chest.

She ran quickly to the chest and habitually rubbed her hands together, firmly believing this action would increase her luck in opening it.

"Open for me!"

The heavy chest lid was lifted, and an exquisite silver-white wrist guard appeared before Yun Mu.

"What is this?"

She took the wrist guard out of the chest, feeling somewhat puzzled.

【Silver Wrist (Blue)】

【Attack Power +5 / Spell Strength +5 / Defense +5】

【Passive Skill: Divine】

【This bracer is Divine; when worn on the body, it can automatically repel some Evil creatures, and at the same time, your resistance to the vast majority of negative effects is +20%.】

【Active Skill: Silver Wrist】

【Melee / Single-target Damage / Attack Power & Spell Strength】

【Range 2】

【Base Accuracy 210 / Damage Modifier +60% / Spell Bonus 35%】

【Spell Bonus: Based on Spell Strength, increase the damage of this attack; the specific damage is determined by the value after 【Spell Strength】.】

【A bracer filled with Divine power; clench your fist, and you can let the Divine power within flow through your arm.】

"Not bad!"

Another blue-tier piece of equipment; it truly lives up to being a reward obtained after defeating a Dungeon Leader.

It feels quite suitable for Lucy, or it would also be fine for her to wear it herself.

Anyway, the Dungeon is nearing its end now, so she will keep it for her own use for the time being.

Thinking this, Yun Mu pulled back the sleeve of her Rift Crocodile Coat and then wore the bracer over the sleeve of her shirt on her left arm.

Why the left hand?

Naturally, because most of the time, when using an arm to perform a Block, one would definitely use their less dominant arm.

Otherwise, if the right hand were injured, it would greatly affect subsequent combat.

"Use it carefully," Lucy, who was to the side, looked at the bracer on her wrist and reminded her: "To that bracer, you also belong to the category of Evil creatures."

"Huh?"

Hearing her words, Yun Mu was slightly stunned.

"Sigh." Watching her expression, Lucy couldn't help but sigh and said: "This bracer clearly belonged to that Knight; this should be the protective gear he used before he became Fallen."

"It's just that after he became Fallen, this bracer no longer acknowledged him."

"I don't feel anything while wearing it," Yun Mu shook her left wrist, which was wearing the bracer.

"That is because you haven't activated the power inside the bracer yet."

Lucy explained to her: "That Knight fell from a Radiant Knight to Scarlet; his degree of corruption is much more severe than yours. I'm afraid that just touching the bracer would cause pain."

"If you drive the power inside, it will probably just be a slight stinging sensation."

"There are degrees to being Fallen?" Hearing Lucy's words, Yun Mu asked with some curiosity.

"Of course."

Lucy nodded and replied: "Because there is definitely a difference between those who accidentally fall into Evil and those who actively choose to approach Evil."

"Besides that, actively falling from a person of light into Evil, regardless of whether it is active or not, will be rejected by the original radiance."

"This thing can even distinguish whether one accidentally fell into Evil?" Yun Mu looked at the bracer on her arm and said.

"."

Lucy did not speak, only looking at her meaningfully.

After a long while, she let out a soft breath and said: "The information of all things in the world is recorded in the Ether; no one can avoid it."

PS: Let me say something here.

Chester and Dabai do not belong to 【Partner】, or rather, you can understand them as 【Hero Units】.

Therefore, they do not enjoy the effects of the Path.

I originally intended to justify it this way, until I discovered that during the battle with the Scarlet Knight, Lucy had used an attack skill once.

So, I decided to forget it.

Forgive this blockhead, I'm sorry!
