Chapter 397 - Big Terrifying Demon (2/2)

“Of course, but I need to prepare.”

With that, Link looked into the corner and thought, Accept reward.

Whoosh. A shirt and pants fell from the air. They were the Assassin Robe and Assassin Pants.

Link undid Lannie’s ties and set her on the ground. Then Link took off his leather armor. Putting on his new clothes, he explained, “I recently made these two pieces of gear and couldn’t bear to put them on before. I have to use them now.”

He spoke calmly this time. The gear had dropped out of thin air as if he’d taken it out of the dimensional storage. Lannie, observant as she was, didn’t suspect anything.

When Link was done, she studied him and couldn’t help but ask, “Is it a robe? It’s pretty.”

It was indeed. The clothing was of dark blue material. One could faintly see many elegant dark silver patterns. There was a faint blue glow around the robe. Looking closely, one could see countless specks of light flying around.

Link didn’t notice the appearance. He checked the robe’s profile first.

Assassin Robe (Set)

Epic

Current Set Status: 2/6

Effect One: Magic resistance increases by 80% as long as it doesn’t affect the spell-caster’s magic conductivity.

Effect Two: Shadow effect. When the spellcaster stands without moving, a ball of fog three feet wide will appear from their body. This effect can protect the spell-caster from being attacked at critical body parts.

Effect Three: Activate the “ready” status. Under this status, the spell-caster can cast any spells instantaneously. This effect can be used once every ten days.

Link looked at the pants.

It also had three effects. The magic resistance and shadow effect were the same as the robe. The third, called “Godspeed,” was different.

The player could activate this status and increase their speed by three times. The effect could last one hour but had to cool down for one month.

This effect was pretty good. Link could use it to both attack or defend. If his current speed was tripled, he’d be close to Nana. After his magic recovered, he could pair this with Dimensional Jumps and no one would be able to catch him.

The set also had its own attributes. The two pieces of gear already activated it. Link looked over and saw a halo.

It was the Focus Halo. This halo was permanent and had a 30-foot range. Within it, anyone the spell-caster focused on would receive the effect. Their speed would increase by ten percent and their spell-casting speed by five percent.

Not bad. With this set, he was much more confident in dealing with the Level-9 Dimensional Demon.

“Let’s go. Is it okay if you follow behind me?” Link asked.

“Of course. I’m great with the musket.” Lannie took out the musket she’d put in the holster by her leg and twirled it.

The two continued forward.

After around 300 feet, there was another door. It also had runes, but they didn’t glow.

Lannie looked at it strangely. “The door was damaged but how? And how do you use this?”

Link didn’t speak. He was looking for a way through the door. He tried the Dragon King’s Fury magic sword. It sizzled and didn’t give in easily, but he still forced the sword through. This seemed to be the easiest way.

He spent ten minutes and finally cut an opening into the door. The two climbed in.

Once in, Lannie and Link were stunned by what was behind the door.

The walls here had all collapsed. Broken stones were everywhere, practically blocking the tunnel. There were many black bloodstains on the ground. The most eye-catching was a black thing that looked like a lizard’s tail.

Seeing this, Link recreated the scene in his mind and couldn’t help but praise, “So powerful!”

The Yabbas were very smart. They’d figured out the Dimensional Demon’s characteristics and sealed the door. They forced the demon to teleport using its dimensional abilities. The moment he appeared from the spatial waves, the bomb detonated.

Caught by surprise, the Dimensional Demon was hurt badly. His tail even fell off.

Link walked to the tail and studied it. After one second, two seconds, three seconds, his brows knitted. “No, the tail isn’t right.”

“What happened?” Lannie was frightened.

Link looked up to her. “I underestimated the demon. Look at his tail. The scales are very fine and have rings of blue-gold light. A regular Dimensional Demon wouldn’t have these things. If I’m not wrong, this must be part of the royal family!”

Lannie was quite knowledgeable too. Her eyes widened. “You mean, this is a Dimensional Phantom?”

Dimensional Phantom

Dimensional Demon Royalty

Royal Talent: Soul-absorbing Stab. With every kill, the Dimensional Phantom can turn a portion of the target’s soul into their own power. To protect the purity of their power, the rate is not very high, but it builds up, especially on the battlefield. A Dimensional Demon can kill a great amount of creatures in a short period.

“No wonder this Dimensional Demon has Level-9 strength. If he was Level-8 at the time of summoning, then he must have killed more than 3000 Yabbas… We must catch up to him!”

This demon chased so relentlessly and so impatiently probably wasn’t just to kill them all. It was highly possible that he was about to advance to the next level.
