Junhyuk was really surprised when he heard a soft whisper:

[You’ve killed the hero Ellic. You have a right to the item he dropped. Will you pick it up? If you don’t pick it up in three hours, the item will disappear.]

Junhyuk listened with surprise and quickly picked it up. He looked at Artlan, and Artlan laughed at him.

“Congratulations!”

“I can keep this?”

“Ellic has dropped so many items already. I am sure this one will also be useful.”

Junhyuk read the bracelet’s description.

Pure Golden Knight Elder’s Bracelet (Set Piece)

Attack Power +10

The Pure Golden Knight Elder used to carry this bracelet. 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.

—

“It’s a Pure Golden Knight Elder’s Bracelet?”

Artlan checked it out and asked:

“Does it come in a set?”

“It does.”

“Ellic is collecting the entire set and dropped one? He must not be feeling well.”

“Is it hard to collect an entire set?”

Artlan nodded.

“It’s definitely not easy. The items don’t always show up at the dimensional merchants. If someone buys a piece of the set, that person has to die for it to go back in circulation. You can pick it up and keep it or sell it.”

“Then, there’s only one of each set piece?”

“That’s right. There is only one set, and it’s hard to collect the entire thing, but if you do, your power will increase by a lot. The item by itself is powerful.”

With this item alone, he could increase his attack power by ten. It had the same power as a longsword, so he shouldn’t refuse to take it or use it. He was carrying two longswords, and that meant his attack power increased twice.

Junhyuk put on the bracelet, and Vera walked over and put him in a headlock.

“You stole my kill! You attacked him when everything was already over and killed him!”

“Argh! I didn’t! I was only trying to escape!”

She gave him a noogie and said:

“You did well.”

“What?!”

She smiled at him.

“You are important to us, but it’s not easy for you to become a champion, so you should buy more equipment.”

“So, are you giving me your support?”

“No,” she said and smirked. “If you kill steal one more time…”

Vera ignited a flame on her hand, and Junhyuk dry swallowed his saliva.

“… I’ll just leave it to your imagination.”

If he had thought about it, he would’ve realized that heroes were always eager to get more items. He had stolen Ellic’s item from Vera, but she was kidding with him.

“I will be more careful.”

“It wasn’t intentional. I will let it go this time.”

Vera turned to Artlan.

“We need to clean up the rest.”

The minions’ fight was intense. It was about 150 against 150, and that didn’t happen often. They clashed against each others, but the heroes were dead, so this was the allies’ victory.

Vera launched a firewall and split the enemies into two camps.

Junhyuk was not just looking. He still had the Salamander buff, and his double swords created explosions that massacred the enemy minions.

Standing behind him, Sarang shot her lightning bolt, and the heroes joined the fight. It took them less than five minutes to slaughter their enemies.

Looking at the dead minions, Artlan said:

“Even if we move now, the buff will disappear, and we won’t be able to catch them. We should go to Bebe’s.”

Vera nodded, but Halo shook his head. Artlan watched them both and nodded.

“OK. Then, we will attack the watchtower. After that, Halo should join Nudra, and we will go to Bebe.”

Halo nodded, and Artlan shouted:

“Destroy the watchtower! Attack!”

There were 120 surviving minions. They rushed toward the watchtower while Artlan, Halo and Vera attacked it.

After the tower’s destruction, Artlan gave Halo eighty minions. The minions were of little help when the heroes were fighting, but they were a big help when destroying the watchtowers.

Artlan took the other surviving minions to the dimensional merchants. They did not meet any enemies on the way and got there safely.

Bebe was about to doze off when he saw them come in and waved at them.

“You came!?”

Artlan went up to him and said:

“I need an enhancement stone, and this guy has a lot to do today.”

“So?”

Bebe gave him an enhancement stone and the plate. Artlan placed his hand on the plate, paid and picked up the enhancement stone. Artlan pulled out his sabers, put them on the counter and looked seriously at the enhancement stone.

“What is the success rate this time?”

“It’s 6.75 percent.”

It was low, but Artlan didn’t hesitate.

“Enhance.”

A five-colored beam of light shot up and danced on the sabers. While Artlan watched, the exquisite light seeped into the sabers, and he laughed.

“It’s a success!”

Bebe clicked his tongue.

“Ha! That’s the ninth enhancement! It should be very sharp. There’s a big difference between the eighth and ninth enhancements.”

“Yeah. The odds were crap, but I did it anyway.”

“You should know that the ninth and the tenth enhancements are totally different.”

“I know, but I can’t do it now.”

“Right, you might fail and have your power decrease.”

Bebe shrugged and looked at Junhyuk.

“So, what do you need?”

Junhyuk extended his hand.

“How much money do I have?”

“Here.”

Bebe pushed the plate forward, and Junhyuk put his hand on it. It was a large sum—13,390G—and Bebe whistled.

“For an expert, you have earned a lot.”

Junhyuk was curious and asked:

“Perhaps. Do you have anything related to the Elder’s item set?”

“The Pure Golden Knight Elder’s set?”

“Correct.”

He wanted to complete the set, but Bebe laughed and said:

“I had some things, but Ellic bought them. Two bracelets.”

“Ellic bought them?”

“Correct. He had three, including that one.”

Junhyuk’s eyes beamed. He wanted to kill Ellic again. Artlan laughed.

“Do you want to complete the set?”

“If possible.”

He looked at Vera, and she shrugged and said:

“Good. It’s a hero’s dream to own a complete set, and you may dream.”

“Is that right?”

“I will pick them up and sell them to you for cheap.”

“Thank you.”

Bebe stuck out his tongue at them.

“You can’t do that. I have to make a living.”

“It’s fine. You are always too expensive.”

Bebe laughed and asked him:

“So, don’t you need something else?”

Junhyuk took out the Blood Sword.

“I want to synthesize this with my sword.”

“Oh! Where did you get this?”

Bebe was surprised to see the Blood Sword and looked at Junhyuk, who said calmly:

“I got it from my world.”

“Hm. This can’t be from your world. It’s a magic sword.”

“I got it from a minion.”

Bebe touched his chin.

“OK. If you synthesize it, the curse will disappear, but you won’t be able to synthesize magic on top of it.”

“Is it possible to do regular syntheses?”

“Yes. Regular syntheses will increase the Blood Sword’s effects.”

“That sounds fine.”

Bebe placed the plate on the counter.

“The cost of the synthesis is five thousand gold.”

Junhyuk had the cold sweats. It was too expensive! He wanted to complete the Elder’s set and needed to save money. He thought he needed to kill Ellic some more.

“OK. Do it.”

“Which longsword?”

Junhyuk hesitated and pulled out the right-hand longsword.

“Pay first,” Bebe said.

Junhyuk placed his hand on the plate, and the number decreased to 8,390G. He had earned five thousand gold since he had arrived in the Dimensional Battlefield.

“It’s strange. I only killed two heroes.”

Bebe took the longsword and the Blood Sword and pulled out a bottle.

“What are you talking about?”

“This time, I earned five thousand gold on the battlefield.”

“Is that so? Maybe it was because of the special monsters they brought in. They are expensive.”

“The contribution from hunting one monster is a thousand gold?”

“I am not sure about the number, but it’s more than that! So, should I start?” Bebe asked him.

“Yes.”

Bebe pulled out a pink bottle and poured the contents on the Blood Sword. The sword melted slowly and covered the longsword. Once the Blood Sword covered the longsword completely, Bebe hit it with a hammer.

Clang!

The hit created shockwaves, and Junhyuk’s hair stood up. Bebe smiled and said:

“The synthesis is a success.”

“Could it have failed?”

“This type of regular synthesis does not fail.”

Bebe gave him the longsword, and Junhyuk inspected it.

Blood Rune Sword

Attack Power +25

Fitness Absorption +10%

When absorbing the owner’s blood, attack speed increases by 10% and movement speed increases by 5%. Can stack three times.

—

Bebe’s Basic Longsword had been synthesized with the Blood Sword, and the attack power had increased to twenty-five. When the owner wounded an opponent, the sword would heal the owner by 10 percent of the attack.

When it absorbed the owner’s blood, the attack speed increased by 10 percent, and the movement speed increased by 5 percent, but it would only stack three times. The fourth attempt could result in death.

The attack powers of the two original swords were combined with an additional increase of five. It had cost five thousand gold, but the result was satisfying, and the longsword looked different.

It was a Blood Rune Sword now, and there were blood-colored runes engraved on the sword. He hadn’t liked the shape of the original, but now it looked cool.

“I like it.”

“Right. The Blood Sword itself is very expensive. It’s more expensive than a magic enhancement. It will be useful.”

Junhyuk swung the Blood Rune Sword lightly. It left a trace of red in the air, and he smiled with satisfaction.

“I want to add a magic power.”

“You should know magic enhancements are different from syntheses.”

“You mean you won’t give me a 30 percent discount?”

“There’s nothing I can do.”

Junhyuk sighed.

“I still want to do it. How much does it cost for the first magic enhancement?”

“Two thousand gold.”

“Could you tell me about magic?”

“Sure.”

Bebe pulled out a book and opened it wide. Above the book, various magic descriptions appeared, and Bebe kindly explained everything.

He touched the flame-shaped emblem and said:

“The fire attribute explodes when you stab someone, dealing heavy damage.”

Junhyuk had experienced that with the Salamander buff and liked the additional damage.

Bebe touched the snowflake emblem and said:

“This is the ice attribute. When you stab someone with it, that person’s movement and attack speeds decrease.’

“Sure.”

“In any case, it’s hard to see any major effect on the first enhancement, especially against heroes.”

Bebe touched the bolt emblem.

“This is the lightning attribute. When you stab someone with it, that person will be stunned.”

Junhyuk paid close attention as he listened. They were all good.

Bebe touched the green water droplet emblem.

“This is the poison attribute. When you stab someone with it, that person will continue to receive damage. When someone decides to hide, you can force that person to show up by stabbing them beforehand.”

It was a good attribute to use against Skia.

Bebe touched the boulder emblem.

“This is the earth attribute. It increases damage slightly and also increases your defensive power.”

Junhyuk thought about it seriously. He wanted to get them all, so he sighed and looked at Artlan.

“What do you think?”

“You’ll be using it. You decide.”

He thought for a long time, but it was time for him to make his decision.

“I will pick this.”
