184 Cursed Crates (2/2)

Enchantment: The wielder's weight would be added to the weapon when held. To wield the weapon, the user must be at least 1-meter tall.

'Wait, it's not cursed? Well, that's fine, I guess.'

Jun opened the Random Crate and received a simple jade ring.

[Ring of Vigor]

[Description] Increase Health and Energy regeneration by 10%

Jun didn't trust what he just read and examined the ring further. His energy quickly enveloped the jade ring, and the description remained the same.

'So, not everything's a troll crate.' Jun thought to himself.

In the middle of doubting the fairness of the system, Jun heard Yetu's snicker.

Jun said, ”Can we talk now? Not grumpy anymore?”

'Who said I was grumpy!? I'm busy with something else!'

”Okay, okay. Let's chat later.”

Jun wanted to have some idle chat with Yetu, but a 3-meter tall Destroyer came out of the 2-meter tall red vortex. The D2 came out crawling from the red vortex so it could fit its enormous body with ease.

The plaza immediately turned into disarray as the survivors that just finished an exhausting battle against the horde gazed at the D2.

Jun wore the jade ring and immediately felt the ring's effect as his energy regeneration increased. He swung the Warhammer left and right feeling out its weight.

Usually, Jun would feel unsatisfied with any weapon that he used due to their lightness. It's because he has too much power for his current level after absorbing legacies and essence of powers.

But with the Warhammer in his hand, he could finally feel the sensation of weight that he forgot a long time ago, thanks to the enchantment effect.

Jun absorbed Marcus' legacy and received +3 on Cunning. Then, he quickly jumped out of the window and safely landed on the ground. The bones and muscles on his feet were already strengthened by overcoming the tribulation, and a casual jump from the second floor was nothing to him.

Although the Brotherhood of Verdicts has numerous people, not everyone has the courage to stand in front and fight the D2. They were able to loot some power and speed essence in the early days, but there's not enough to go around. The stat essence mostly gets absorbed by the elite members.

Cain clashed with the D2 to allow everyone some time to run away. Every time their group fights a D2, there would always be a considerable number of casualties. This is why they chose to run away in these kinds of situations.

Cain barely reached the head by extending his arms to thrust the spear. The spearhead almost pierced the D2's eyes when it chose to pull its head back and grab the spear's shaft.

Cain tried tugging the spear back, but it barely moved. He was about to let go when a silhouette jumped high in the air from the side.

Jun swung the Warhammer in full force and managed to hit the D2's shoulder, leaving a square indent on the shoulder. A soft cracking noise echoed when the Warhammer hit, and the D2's left arm became limp.

The D2 staggered and distanced itself from Jun, then it grabbed a nearby dead body and started feasting on it. The D2's skin glowed yellow, and it was able to use its left arm.

When the D2 turned its head back, something appeared on its vision and inched closer to its face.

Jun successfully killed the D2 in two strikes. The D2's head received a massive hole after the Warhammer cleaved its right face off.

There were a few factors that helped him achieve the feat. First, because he managed to perform a surprise attack, and the second, his new weapon suits him best. The extra weight from the Warhammer also helped in cleaving the head off, which made everything a lot easier.

Jun used the Warhammer's attached skill earlier—Destruction Bash—which caused the D2 to stagger. He felt satisfied with the result, and before the D2 could finish recovering, he quickly dashed and cleaved its head off. His aim was actually off, which resulted in only cleaving half of the face.

Jun stepped on the D2's body as if announcing his property. The escaping survivors noticed that the tremors on the ground stopped and looked back, only to see someone looting the dead D2.

Jun looted a Mid-Tier Energy stone and a Mid-Tier Essence of Power. He immediately used the energy stone, which increased his max energy by 30, while he stashed the essence of power into his dimensional storage.

He placed the red crystal beside the USB stick. Being reminded to check the USB's contents, he opened the Faction Storage, but there was no laptop to be found.

'Was he busy? Nevermind then, I can wait. Or should I just go to the nearby mall?'

Jun was pondering on what to do when the wind behind him 'swooshed.' He turned his head and saw a man pointing a spear on his face.

Cain stared at Jun and said, ”Did you kill Marcus?”
