Chapter 289: Picking Three Items and an Unexpected Meeting (2/2)

'Only three? Why can't I take everything', Rex thought in annoyance.

<The Carabidis Exchequer guardian lets the user choose 3 items, please choose carefully>

<Time remaining: 4 minutes 49 seconds>

Rex then glance to his back where Kyran and Adhara waits for him obediently,

'Should I let them choose one each?', Rex thought with a frown.

But after a moment of deliberation, he then shakes his head, 'I don't think they can think clearly much less choose an item, let me just choose the three items'

After getting the notification from the system, Rex immediately went to the highest place where the plants that he saw earlier sprouted on a black pot.

He needs to go to the very top to get this one,

The plant that is put above the rest has weird features that Rex has never seen before.

It is dark grey in color and it only stretches for about 15 inches long, it emits a red light and it smells similar to steel with a more stinging sensation. But the weirdest part of the plant is its leaves, it has 5 leaves and they are shaped like a ribcage and the stalks are like a spine.

Human's ribcage and spine, this makes the plant looks very bizarre and eye-catching.

Even at a glance, the plant is very weird just from its look.

Without even scanning to see what the plant is, Rex picks the plant and instantly puts it inside his inventory before his eyes dart elsewhere.

<Carabidis Exchequer items taken 1/3>

The next item that attracted Rex's attention is a sword, the sword is just one level lower than the weird plant that he took.

Upon getting closer to the sword, Rex notices that it is more like a katana instead.

The katana is dominant by the color black, the grip is black all the way to the back of the katana. The cross-guard is shaped as the head of a wolf with the blade coming out of its mouth.

Rex takes the sword that is stabbed on the ground and inspects it,

Unlike a regular katana, the blade is way thicker and longer. Four runes are engraved on the blade that Rex has never seen before, and the sharp part of the blade is red in color.

When Rex took the katana from the ground, the runes and the sharp part glows red.

Its red color matches Rex's new level three force aura, and the katana just feels comfortable and right in his hand so he decided to take it.

Rex got attracted to the katana because of the wolf head cross-guard,

Being a Werewolf for months now, it's not a surprise that he took a liking to the shape of the wolf.

<Amuerus Devourer of Souls>

An ancient katana that is made of the bones of Wrahak, a mythical hellhound creature that guards the gate of Abyss. Known to be an unkillable creature that rises from the dead every time it is killed. Amuerus inherit the power of Wrahak to claim souls. Every time the sword hits an opponent, the sword will take a portion of their soul decreasing the opponents' stats by 1% per slash.

While Rex is reading the description of the katana, the notification from the system distracts him,

<Time Remaining: 0 Minute 59 Seconds>

Rex got too occupied by the katana in his hand that he forgot about the time limit the-wisp told him to choose three items from the Exchequer.

He then decided to take the katana before he looks around searching for the last item.

<Carabidis Exchequer items taken 2/3>

There are many items that attracted his gaze since the place is bountiful of treasures, and the one that attracts him the most is a skull-shaped Chalice.

It's also located in the second row below the plant before,

Rex immediately went to the Chalice, and without scanning the Chalice Rex wanted to take it as the last item but his hand stopped right before he grabbed the Chalice.

'It's better to just choose a weapon, I don't know what this Chalice does', Rex thought.

Although the Chalice has somekind of attraction, Rex still doesn't know what its effect is.

Weapons on the other hand are much easier,

Aside from the effects, a weapon contains, at the end of the day weapons are used only for one thing only which is killing.

So picking a weapon is best if he didn't have any time, especially since Adhara might need it.

After the time remaining reaches ten seconds left, Rex immediately went to the nearest daggers that he found before he take them and put them in the inventory.

Upon taking the last item, the wisp came to approach Rex again.

'Three items have been chosen, farewell'

The surrounding items started to turn into a blur as all of them disappeared, it didn't take long before Rex's surroundings also changes as they got teleported out of the Exchequer.

”Where are we?”, Rex mumbles as he looks around.

Rex and the others got teleported away from the Exchequer, and when Rex looks around he finds that they're above ground near the cliff leading towards the Carabidis Temple.

His body turns back into his human form, he then approaches the cliff and looks down,

The dark clouds that are supposed to cover the Carabidis Temple are gone, even the whole Carabidis Temple is gone without a trace.

'It's done huh', Rex thought as he sigh.

After he thought that, he looks at Adhara and Kyran in thought, 'What should I do with them? How did they turn into their Werewolf form anyway, tonight is not the full-moon'

But then suddenly,

Growl!

Kyran suddenly snap his neck to the right while growling menacingly,

This makes Rex frown as he looks in the direction Kyran is looking, he squints his eyes when he saw two shadows lurking from amongst the dark trees.

The two shadows walk forward slowly as their body gets illuminated by the moonlight.

When both shadows completely emerge from the darkness of the night, Rex's eyes widen in shock as he immediately turns back into his Werewolf form.

”How convenient for having a human form”

The two shadows that Kyran sensed turn out to be Werewolves, they walk steadily towards Rex's direction with a huge grin on their faces.

'That grey fur, I've seen him somewhere', Rex thought as he saw the grey-furred Werewolf.

The Werewolf with grey fur looks very familiar to Rex, he's quite sure that he has seen this Werewolf as his body bubbled in anger.

After the two Werewolves got closer, Rex suddenly remembered them.

'It's Brutal Grey! I forgot that he's still inside human territory!', Rex thought in realization.

Seeing Rex's surprise look, Jarvald's smirks grows even wider as he bowed his body mockingly, ”Greetings to the Prince”
