40 Treasure in the Mind, and Wine under the stars (1/2)
*Ding([Host has received Legendary Equipment Gate of Babylon]
[Gate of Babylon -
A treasure vault filled with the finest riches, wines, and weapons. With the use of mana the gate will open and release the owners desired treasure.]
The description may have been vague but I already knew the equipment's abilities from watching the anime. Before I only had a blue and green sphere representing my Heavenly World (Haven), and an orange and red sphere representing my Reality Marble (Unlimited Blade Works) floating around in my sea of conscious but now something new popped up.
It was a small golden sphere which I guessed was the treasure vault for the Gates of Babylon. Upon getting a closer look, I saw that the sphere had many fancy decorations on it as well as a giant formation all around it. Sending my conscious inside I couldn't stop myself from squinting my eyes at the glittering lights.
Everywhere I looked there was some type of glittering object ranging from gold coins, gems, vases, and weapons. They were all scattered as far as the eye could see, and upon spreading my domain I realized that the diameter of the vault is 20 miles. Compared to Haven which is still growing and Unlimited Blade Works that is literally infinite this vault was lacking in the space department.
Once I had confirmed my surrounding I began to look at the vault's contents with excitement in my eyes. Using telekinesis I separated the treasures into four groups of wealth, weapons, wines, and miscellaneous.
If I were to rate these groups in terms of size:
- 50% was made up of weapons
- 25% was made up of wealth
- 20% was made up of wine
- 5% was miscellaneous items
After looking into the miscellaneous group I saw that it had a lot of rare herbs and metals. Other than that there were fine silks and animal furs there but I didn't pay much attention to them. As for the wine, while I'm not a wine expert I can tell from the smell that they were aged for many years. Honestly, I wanted to try some than an there but I still had to look into the other groups. Turning my sights onto the wealth group I saw a lot of bronze, silver, gold, and platinum coins as well as other assortments of gems and jewelry. As for the weapons, there were many decent ones with a few exceptions within the mix.
The weapons ranged from polearms, swords, daggers, spears, axes, and other weapons. They all had very nice designs giving off an aura of elegance, nobility, grace, or intimidation, however, looks weren't all I was looking for I wanted to find powerful weapons too. Of all these weapons here none of the fell below rare grade, with some reaching unique grade, and only a 13 reaching epic grade. There was however 4 golden containers that identify or open.
After I was unsuccessful in my attempts to open it I looked back at the pile of weapons around me and sighed.
Yu - While having this huge arsenal of weapons is nice it's not like I can spam this ability on every opponent I meet.
Gates of Babylon is a huge treasure trove but in battle, there will always be those who can either dodge or defend against the weapons I throw at them. With the exception of those higher quality ones, normal weapons won't do much damage against ultimate rank fighters.
