Bebe started engraving the Golden Knight Elder's bracelets. Meanwhile, Junhyuk looked at his pendant. He had some money to spend now, and he wanted a new socketed item to replace it.
"Do you have a socketed item that will hold more than thirty gems, and how much is it?"
Bebe kept engraving the bracelets while speaking calmly:
"If you want to just insert thirty items, it will cost you just ten thousand gold, but if you want a runestone-performance boost option, then it will cost you a lot more."
"How much more?"
"For a 10 percent performance boost, the price increases by thirty thousand gold. The highest boost option, 50 percent, comes at a premium, and it costs a hundred thousand gold more on top of all the upgrades."
"Then, a 50 percent performance boost item's cost is two hundred and thirty thousand gold total?" (Editor's note: 10k+30k+30k+30k+30k+100k = original cost + first upgrade + second upgrade + third upgrade + fourth upgrade + fifth upgrade)
"That's the cheapest one. If you want to change its shape, it will cost you more."
Junhyuk mouth was agape because of the absurd price range, and suddenly, someone slapped his butt.
Slap!
"Ack!"
Junhyuk was very surprised and turned around to see Diane smiling at him.
"You want to change your socketed item?"
"That's a sexual harassment!"
Diane shrugged and said:
"You and I come from different species, so it's OK. If you slap a monkey's butt, do you call it sexual harassment?"
Junhyuk couldn't say anything, Diane laughed hard at him and pulled out an arm warmer.
"Don't be angry. I want to give you this."
"What is it?"
"Vera gave Sarang a socketed item, something she had used before, right? I fought with you many times, so I want to give you something I don't use anymore."
Junhyuk no longer felt angry that she had slapped his butt, and instead, felt grateful, since she gave him a new socketed item. He felt like wanting to get his butt slapped again.
"Thank you!"
Diane gave him the arm warmer and walked over to Vera, waving her hand.
"It's really big!"
Junhyuk frowned and inspected the arm warmer. It was made out of soft leather, and it felt really nice.
---
Sherlock's Leather Arm Warmer (Runestone Socketed Item)
Defense +10
Runestone Performance +20%
Skill: Jump (distance: 100 feet; cooldown: 2 hours)
High Elf Arasha's eternal friend Sherlock died, leaving this leather item behind. Sherlock's jump skill may be used once every two hours.
---
Junhyuk's mouth opened wide.
"Can I really take this?"
"It's fine. I have something better for myself."
Surely, she did carry something better, but he was hesitant.
"First, let me mark you with a seal," Bebe said to him.
"OK."
Bebe engraved the back of Junhyuk's neck and asked:
"Are you going to engrave the arm warmer as well?"
"Yes."
Bebe had finished engraving the bracelets and pushed the plate forward.
"Here."
He had gotten something really precious, and he wanted to seal and engrave it. Junhyuk paid the cost. He had 14,390G remaining, but he had gotten what he wanted.
The seal for the arm warmer was engraved behind his ear.
All of the engravings were finished, and he summoned the hidden black armor. He was fully armored and felt a lot better.
"Crap! I should have taken a picture!" He heard Sarang murmuring.
Junhyuk sighed and untied his pendant.
"Take out the runestones."
"Removing a runestone costs fifty gold per runestone."
In the beginning, he thought that was an unreasonable price, but now it didn't bother him at all. He had earned a lot of money.
Junhyuk paid the 150G, and Bebe removed the runestones. Junhyuk summoned the Sherlock's Leather Arm Warmer and gave it to Bebe. Bebe inserted the runestones on it and asked:
"Do you want anything else?"
Junhyuk pondered for a moment, and thought it would be better to make himself stronger.
"I want to upgrade."
Junhyuk was prepared to spend more money, and Bebe gave him the plate.
"What do you want?"
"Both of them."
Junhyuk placed the Blood Rune Sword and the Frozen Rune Sword on the counter, and Bebe said:
"It'll be the Blood Rune Sword's third upgrade, so that'll be eight thousand gold, and it's the Frozen Rune Sword's second upgrade, so that'll be four thousand gold. It's twelve thousand gold combined."
"Do it."
Junhyuk watched the gold being subtracted on the plate. He was left with 2,240G, but by upgrading both swords, he would be able to deal with heroes.
Bebe finished upgrading the swords and said:
"You are something else to have this much money as an expert."
"You should've given me a discount. You are not helping."
"Check them out."
Junhyuk inspected his swords. The Blood Rune Sword's attack increased by fifteen, so now it was fifty, and the health absorption rate was 12 percent.
The Frozen Rune Sword's attack was twenty-five, and the opponent's movement and attack speeds decreased by 6 percent with the possibility to stack three times.
He felt he had spent his money wisely. He had a new socketed item, and even though it had a two-hour cooldown, he had a new skill: jump.
Artlan knew Junhyuk had spent most of his money and said:
"Then, it's time to move."
Their business was done, and Junhyuk smiled.
"Let's go."
Killing Libya had made Junhyuk stronger. Artlan moved with the group, and they headed toward the Dragon's Valley, a new place.
---
Nudra had his arms crossed, and Halo was standing next to him without speaking. The group ran for three hours to reach them.
The landscape used to be a cliff, but it had changed into a small valley.
Artlan reached them and frowned.
"Are those all of the minions left?"
"That's right."
Artlan counted the minions and the minions he had brought with him. There were only eighty of them.
"Can we actually take on a dragon with these numbers?"
Junhyuk couldn't guess or fathom how strong of an existence a dragon really was. The heroes wanted to throw the minions at the dragon to draw the dragon in.
They wanted to see how strong the dragon was.
Junhyuk couldn't take the minions' place. He also valued his life.
"Let's go!"
Artlan took the lead, and the heroes followed him. The minions followed the heroes. They were nervous, and Junhyuk was with them.
There were a few escape routes, but it was scary to face a mysterious existence.
There were cliffs to the left and the right of the valley that were about 130 feet high, but they felt higher, and the road between them was only ten feet wide.
It was wide enough for two people to walk through, so if they had to flee, it would be really dangerous.
Artlan stopped on the small road and said:
"Wait here."
Everyone stopped, and Junhyuk walked over to Artlan and looked over Artlan's shoulder. It was quite the view. He had to gather his breath.
After the small road, the valley opened into an empty space of about a hundred square yards, the size of a football field.
However, it did not look that spacious. The mysterious existence was inside the valley, and from head to toe, it was about 164 feet long.
It was so big that he got goosebumps just from looking at it. It had its eyes closed, and yet Junhyuk was extremely scared. He held tightly to his swords.
Artlan looked at the dragon and said:
"We should probe it first."
"Are we really going to kill it?"
Could they kill it? It was huge!
Artlan pulled out a marble and said:
"Attack!"
It was something heroes used for the sieges at the end of each battle. The item released its power, and the minions turned mad, no longer scared. The berserked minions ran forward, all eighty of them, and Artlan said:
"I will take the lead with Halo. Nudra, protect Vera and Diane."
"I will."
Nudra's kick wouldn't help against the enormous dragon, but they attacked anyway. Artlan ran with Halo and shouted:
"Sarang and you, protect Vera!"
Junhyuk didn't want to attack anyway. Then, the dragon slowly opened its eyes. The dragon's eyes were ten feet in diameter and looked incredibly scary.
The minions ran toward the dragon, but it got up, and the minions failed to even reach its ankle.
On his back, the dragon had four wings, and it said as it beat its wings:
"How dare you?!"
The dragon was livid. Its voice instilled fear in the berserked minions, and Junhyuk trembled as well.
He was at least 170 feet away from the dragon, but he still felt a surge run through his body.
"What is this?"
Junhyuk didn't realize had spoken in a whisper, but Vera, who was readying her magic, answered him:
"It's Dragon's Fear."
He was completely scared, but he shook his head and collected himself. The minions were running toward the dragon again.
The dragon began to move. It moved a little closer and swiped its tail, batting some minions into the sky. It had an unbelievable attack power.
Could they really kill it?
As he thought about it, Artlan and Halo took their positions against the dragon. Their sabers and sword looked miniscule.
Slash, slash, slash!
However, their small weapons slashed the dragon's ankle and drew blood from it. Junhyuk collected himself again. The dragon could have unbelievable strength, but the heroes were also strong.
Then, Vera and Diane launched their attacks.
Vera's fire spear and Diane's arrows hit the dragon dead on, and the dragon beat its wings and flew up.
Kunk!
A blue membrane showed up from the sky and disturbed the dragon's flight.
"You don't have enough strength to restrain a dragon!" It bellowed and opened its mouth.
A giant flame shoot out from its mouth, traveling toward Vera and Diane.
They could get killed, so Junhyuk grabbed them both, and Sarang grabbed Vera's robe.
They teleported to the right, and Junhyuk felt the shockwaves. That would've been enough to kill him. He lift his head and checked on the dragon. The dragon's breath had been enough to evaporate the water below it, and now, a fog blocked his vision.
"We are in danger!"
Vera frowned and said:
"I have to use all of my power. Protect me."
"You have ten seconds."
Junhyuk created a force field, and Vera laughed and said:
"That's fine. They will buy us more time."
Junhyuk was able to see what was happening after the fog cleared. Artlan and Halo were jumping up and down, one in each side of the dragon. Their attacks drew the dragon's attention.
Vera prepared her meteors, and Diane also prepares an attack.
Junhyuk knew they trusted him to protect them while they prepared their ultimates.
"Please, don't pay any attention to us," he mumbled to himself.
