Chapter 56 Captain's Sword



It took Kathrine quite a while to calm down.

On the other hand, Dilan just squinted his eyes as he threw a glance at the Bronze Essence crystal of the Kobold leader.

Clearly understanding what he was thinking about, Kathrine turned serious.

“You take the Bronze Essence crystal!”

She was not even thinking about taking the Bronze Essence crystal for herself.

Dilan would have to face the Zombie Centaur all by himself, which meant that he needed to be the strongest.

After all, it was highly likely that they would be scratched the moment they reached the Zombie Centaur’s proximity.

With that in mind, Dilan’s passive ability would have to make up for every single hit that he would be unable to evade.

And by comparing Dilan’s current peak speed with that of the Zombie Centaur, Kathrine was actually not sure which of the two was faster.

However, the biggest issue was that Dilan couldn’t maintain his peak speed for a long time, which meant that the fight had to end extremely quickly, or his stats had to improve!-.

It was not difficult for him to perceive the meaning behind Kathrine’s words.

As such, he didn’t stand idly and quickly absorbed the 18 Essence crystals in his arms.

All of them crumbled at once and an intense stream of energy flooded into him.

[17 Essences of Tierless Level 7 Kobold Swordsmen & Spearmen have been absorbed→ +1.4 Strength, +0.6 Health, +2.0Stamina, +1.7 Agility, +0.9 Mana]

[<Bronze> Essence of a Tierless Level 9 Kobold Captain has been absorbed→+0.3 Strength, +0.2 Health, +0.7 Stamina, +0.5 Agility, +0.3 Mana]

[Essence pool has been filled. Host reached level 9! +0.5 Status points can be allocated!]

Dilan had expected more from the Bronze Essence, but he didn’t fret about the points received.

Instead, he smiled faintly as he sensed that his Essence pool was almost filled once again.

‘Fighting higher leveled monsters is truly much better…’ He thought, only to avert his attention to the notification about the Bronze essence once again.

‘Is it that low because I didn’t kill it alone? Because my contribution in the entire fight was not that high?

He was not actually sure about the correct answer, but it didn’t really faze him.

Rather, it was a great piece of information, that accompanied the vast amount of Status points he gained.

The boost in Strength and Agility were the most important in his opinion as it elevated his combat prowess the most.

As such, he was hardly able to contain his smile as he gave Kathrine a peace sign.

“Looks like my Agility will be close to 11.5 units when I activate my active skill. That should be enough to evade the Zombie Centaur.”

Even if Dilan was actually not sure if it was enough, he felt that searching for more monsters and killing them would take too long.

And given that Kathrine was impatient ever since their first meeting, it was better to go back now.

“I hope so…” Kathrine mumbled, only to turn in the direction they came from.

She was ready to leave, when she suddenly heard a rustling behind her.

Her head turned to Dilan, who picked up the Kobolds’ weapons.

When Dilan noticed that she was just staring at him, he let out a disappointed sigh.

“How about you help me? These weapons are Trash+ graded, and their additional boosts are quite useful for new Ascenders!”

Kathrine just nodded her head before doing as asked.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t carry all the weapons with them because they had simply too little space to store them away, and just two pair of hands to carry everything.

But that was fine because they were only in need of one weapon for each of the Survivors.

Even that was a lot because half of them were unwilling to fight.

However, Dilan expected many weapons to break in the near future, which was why he wanted to provide a wide variety of weapons to those who were willing to fight.

It didn’t take long before he reached the Kobold Captain’s corpse, and the longsword he wielded

[Captain’s Sword] <Bronze treasure>

[1.0 Agility] Can pierce through the hide of most Tier-1 Level 0 monsters!

The Captain’s Sword was quite a decent treasure, and it had a decent length of more than one meter.

It was not perfect in terms of length, but Dilan felt that this weapon was slightly more compatible with him than the Reinforced Stone Spear he was wielding earlier.

‘If I face only one opponent or a small number of monsters, I can use the longsword, and if there is a huge horde of lower-leveled monsters, I can use the Clawed Gloves.’

Dilan felt that this was the best way for him to solve his current predicament. Even if a longsword was great to fight large numbers of opponents, he couldn’t help but think that the Clawed Gloves were still slightly better.

He didn’t want to face the Zombie Centaur just with his bare hands, which meant that the Captain’s Sword was the best he could make use of for now.

Furthermore, if he switched between using the effects of both the longsword and his Clawed Gloves, it might even be possible to use them in alternation and perfect sync!

His eyes gleamed at the thought of utilizing both the Strength boost of his Clawed Gloves, and the Agility boost of the Captain’s Sword.

Thus, he wielded the sword with one hand, moving it smoothly, while he carried almost a dozen weapons under his arms, squeezing them together.

“A spatial ring would be soooo nice,” Kathrine suddenly mumbled after more than 20 minutes of carrying around more than a dozen weapons in her arms.

Dilan needed to have one arm free to fight monsters if some were to suddenly pop up, but that was not the case for her.

She could just use her ability at will, and lash out from every direction she wanted to!

As such, her arms began to cramp after 20 minutes, and she couldn’t help but curse the unfair world.

However, Dilan just smiled before he said,

“I guess anything related to spatial devices is of a much higher grade than bronze. In my opinion, an enlarging backpack might be relatively easier to find.”

In the end, he just shrugged his shoulders, before quieting down.

It was unlikely for them to find any proper storage devices in the next few days.

Maybe, the only place where they could get one was inside the Permanent Gates.

Dilan predicted that there might be quite a few treasures if the insides were exactly what he presumed; a restricted, and isolated plane or dimension!
