Chapter 43 - Trampling those with Gold Spoons (6) (1/2)
Warrior's Sword
-Rating: Rare
-Properties: Earth
-A longsword with strong durability that won’t break easily.
-If Aura of Earth is used, the physical defense given by the skill will substantially increase.
-Wearer Restrictions: 15 strength
‘A sword with the property of earth?’
Aura of Earth was a physical defense oriented skill. However, using the skill increased the physical defense of the skill even further.
The last time he used Aura of Earth was when he was fighting Keirun. Serious damage from Keirun’s dagger only caused a slight scratch.
Yet now the physical defense would soar even higher? Would his body become like iron?
Maybe Kang-jun could now defend against the ogre’s power.
‘It has restrictions on who can wear it. 15 strength?’
Fortunately, Kang-jun currently had 16 points in strength. It was possible for him to equip it.
‘Anyway, I’m glad that this sword won’t break easily.’
Of course, he had been able to repel the ogre Germuz thanks to the broken sword.
But in the future, there was no guarantee that such luck could be repeated again.
‘There is no time. I should defeat him now.’
The ogre Germuz had escaped with an injury.
On the other hand, Kang-jun gained one level and his maximum health was restored.
He also got a much more powerful weapon known as the Warrior’s Sword. Although it was specialized in defense, the attack power was still higher than the iron sword.
‘Ogre! It would be pretty useful if I could make him my subordinate.’
He didn’t know if it was possible because the ogre had an ego that pierced the sky.
(Keirun, is the base okay?)
Kang-jun asked his military adviser while running towards the Dain building.
(Yes, Lord. The base is still safe. Is Lord okay?)
Keirun’s voice through the telepathic link was quite relaxed.
(Of course. I built the base here safely. The Eco building has been occupied. Then keep working.
(Yes, Lord. Don’t worry about this side.)
Jung Kw.a.n.g-hyeon should have struck the Dafeng building. Could Keirun have blocked him this quickly?
Kang-jun was curious but he would listen to the details later.
'It is safe.’
Kang-jun’s worries about the base disappeared as soon as he heard Keirun’s laidback voice.
It was good that he had such a competent military adviser.
Kang-jun was able to concentrate on getting stronger because he knew his base was protected.
[The neighbouring Dain building is the territory of the ogre Germuz.
Do you want to enter? Yes/No]
“Yes! Enter.”
Then a new mission appeared in front of Kang-jun.
[Mission 8] Occupy the Dain building, defeat the ogre Germuz and gain the sovereign token Cloak of the Wind.
-Experience, 1,500 nodes, five Essence of the Wind
As expected, it was a mission.
'Cloak of the Wind. I wonder what type of power it has.’
Kang-jun drank the lowest grade black magic recovery potion in his pocket. 40 points of black magic energy were restored.
Black Magic Energy: 85/320
He wouldn’t get a chance to drink a potion while facing Germuz. Potions weren’t rare so now wasn’t the time to save it.
Dudududu.
At that time, the ground shook and a barrier formed in front of Kang-jun.
[Dain building’s barrier: 100%]
It looked much harder than the barrier that recently appeared around the Sungkw.a.n.g building. He had the ratigers to help him then but now he was alone. Could he smash it?
Pak!
Kung-jun struck the barrier with the Warrior’s Sword.
[Dain building’s barrier: 97%]
It decreased by 3%. The building’s barrier boasted a tough durability. Yet it was reduced by 3% with one cut.
‘Amazing! I can break it very quickly by myself.’
This was because Kang-jun’s level rose, as well as the highest quality Heaven’s Blood Sword Style increasing his power.
Along with the destructive power of the Warrior’s Sword, he was able to show much higher capabilities.
But at that moment.
Ping! Syuok!
Arrows came flying from above the barrier.
Kang-jun could see monsters with the head of a rat and the body of a monkey. They were very familiar to Kang-jun.
‘Ratian archers?’
The ogre Germuz had ratians as subordinates?
”Kikiki! The enemy.”
“Roaaaaar! Fight the enemy.”
The ratian infantry rushed through the barrier. Giant ratians also appeared.
There was a strange smile on Kang-jun’s face.
He had a 10% increase in attack power against the ratians.
There was also a 5% chance of acquiring items!
Thanks to the knowledge he acquired, the ratians were very easy to deal with.
Kang-jun avoided the arrows and aimed for the giant ratians first.
Sukeok! Sukeok!
In the blink of an eye, two giant ratians had their throats cut.
The ratian corpses grew in number every time his sword flashed.
[2 nodes have been gained.]
[1 node has been gained.]
[One inferior health recovery potion has been obtained.]
[12 nodes have been gained.]
Apart from the experience, money and j.a.ptem (miscellaneous items) continued to fall.
Then he discovered a scroll.
A s.h.i.+ny scroll had fallen from the dead body of a giant ratian.
Kang-jun quickly opened it.
[A giant ratian is filled with courage while using an axe as a weapon. They are capable of wiping out the vanguard of the enemy...]
Glittering letters whirled around Kang-jun’s head and were absorbed.
[Intermediate knowledge about the giant ratian has been obtained.]
Oh! Intermediate knowledge?
If he kept on fighting the monsters then it was likely that he would get advanced knowledge.
[Attack power against a giant ratian has increased to 20%. There is a 10% probability of acquiring items.]
Thanks to that, his attack power and chances of obtaining items rose.
[From now on, a giant ratian warrior can be summoned from the barrack.]
[Giant ratian warrior]
-Resources: 80 nodes
-It is possible to summon if you have 2 charisma points
Kang-jun was pleasantly surprised.
‘Giant ratian warrior?’
It was at that moment.
(Wuhahaha! Lord! It is wonderful. You have obtained intermediate knowledge about the giant ratian.)
The information was updated in the barrack so Keirun already knew about it.
(Huhu, Lord no longer needs to be afraid of Herod’s troops. A giant ratian warrior can easily deal with two or three orcs.)
The golem ratigers were his most powerful soldier but they were not easy to summon because the rare item Essence of Earth was required.
However, the giant ratian warriors only needed money.
(Isn’t there a limit to the capacity of the barracks?)
(You can afford to upgrade it to stage 3. In addition, we lost a small number of troops today so we can fill it with giant ratian warriors.)
(I will soon build a barrack in this base as well.)
(The problem is funding. The funds of the 1st base are almost depleted.)
(Don’t worry about money. I have 1,500 nodes here.)
1,580 nodes were currently piled in Room 307 of the Eco Studio Apartment.
Kang-jun earned money from every monster he killed. Then he received 1,000 nodes from the mission.
Keirun replied with a greatly surprised voice.
(1500 nodes? When did you get that much money? Don’t tell me you finished a mission during this time?)
(Anyway, I am busy so take care of it.)
(Then leave the operation of the 2nd base to me, Lord.)
(Okay.)
