Legend of Legends

Libya had been killed, and after a while, Artlan and Vera came through the way Lybia had used.

"Did she come this way?"

Diane nodded and put her arm around Junhyuk’s shoulder.

"Junhyuk drew her in and delivered the final blow."

"The final blow?" Vera asked and turned cold towards him.

Diane started waving her hand negatorily.

"We got her because Junhyuk drew her in. He risked his life, so acknowledge him."

"Is that right?"

Vera petted Junhyuk’s head and looked at Artlan.

"What do we do now?"

Artlan pulled out a marble and said:

"I will contact Nudra and Halo."

As Artlan concentrated with his eyes closed, the marble began to shine in his hand. Junhyuk watched him contact Nudra and Halo.

Artlan opened his eyes and said:

"We will go to Bebe first and meet them in the Valley of Dragons later."

"The Valley of Dragons?"

He thought they would be hunting one of the dragons Artlan had mentioned before.

"We are winning, so we will take down a dragon."

Junhyuk was worried. Artlan had described the dragons, and they sounded terrifying. Artlan did not hesitate and started running.

He was fearful, but they would have five heroes in one place, so it would be possible to do it. Had he not witnessed their strength time and time again? The heroes were strong enough.

They decided to visit Bebe. He was curious about how much Bebe would give him for the Ice Crystal Mirror. He really wanted to buy some new armor.

On the way, they destroyed the watchtower that Diane had been attacking and went straight to Bebe.

Bebe was yawning when they arrived.

He saw them come in and smiled.

"You came back quickly."

Artlan took off an earring and walked over to Bebe. The item looked to be a canine tooth, and he gave it to Bebe.

He also took out the Gale Harpy Queen’s Talon and said:

"Synthesize them."

"Oh! You’ve got it already?" Bebe said and pushed the plate forward. "It will cost twenty thousand gold."

Artlan frowned, and Bebe said:

"These are new items, and synthesizing them will require the highest quality materials, so twenty thousand gold."

Artlan sighed deeply and put his hand on the plate. The cost was taken out, and Bebe pulled out three bottles.

"So, I’ll be able to show my skills for the first time in a long time," Bebe said and poured the three bottles on the earring and the talon. The talon melted and seeped into the earring.

Bebe pulled out a scroll and placed the earring on it. The scroll tore apart, generating a strong light that faded, leaving only the earring.

A pure-white color surrounded the earring, and it looked quite unique. Bebe grinned and gave it back to Artlan.

"It’s a success. It was a big success!"

"Did you do it right?"

"Put it on."

Artlan put the earring on and smiled.

"It’s a success."

"Don’t feel bad about the twenty thousand gold. It was worth it!"

"Right. The additional attack rate has gone up by 15 percent. It was worth it."

Bebe touched his chin and murmured:

"So, these monsters come alone to the battlefield. If you play it right, you’ll have the right accessories to increase your additional attack rate by 100 percent!"

"They have a low spawn rate, and if they do show up, they are alone. If I wanted to do eight syntheses, it would take years."

"But it’s worth the trouble!"

Artlan nodded. If he increased his additional attack rate by 100 percent, it would just be the best way possible to attack.

Bebe smiled and looked at the rest of the group.

"Don’t you want anything?"

Junhyuk stepped forward, and Bebe’s eyes widened.

"Do you have more money?"

"I want you to find that out."

"Sure."

Bebe placed the plate on the counter, and Junhyuk placed his hand on it. The screen showed 13,390G, and Bebe was more surprised than Junhyuk.

"You earned a lot!"

"We killed four heroes and the Gale Harpy Queen. That’s about it..."

"If you killed the Gale Harpy Queen, it’s understandable. It’s worth three thousand gold."

He already knew the buff monsters were worth a lot of money. Junhyuk pulled out the Ice Crystal Mirror, and Bebe said:

"Libya must not be happy about that."

"Yeah?"

"Give it to me."

Bebe took it and looked at himself in the mirror.

"I am so handsome."

Junhyuk thought about the Ice Crystal Mirror’s description and laughed. Bebe continued to look at himself in the mirror as he said:

"So, there aren’t many people who would buy this because of its description and attributes. I will give you thirty-five thousand gold for it."

The offer of thirty-five thousand gold really surprised Junhyuk. He wasn’t expecting it to be that high.

Bebe asked him:

"Are you selling it?"

"Of course!"

Junhyuk placed his hand on the plate, and the number increased to 48,390G. His mouth was agape, and Bebe asked him:

"So, what do you want?"

Junhyuk thought about it. He wanted a new suit of armor. Armor was very expensive, so he hadn’t thought about it before.

"Can I look at some armor?"

"Wise choice. Survival first."

Bebe opened the book, and it flipped endlessly. Junhyuk looked at it and sighed.

"Just show me what I can buy."

"About forty-thousand-gold worth, right?"

Bebe closed the book and opened it again, and five suits of armor showed up. Bebe began his explanation:

"So, do you want to know more about defense? I told you the last time that a minion had a defense of one. Shields also have a defense of one, so combining the two, a minion has a defense of two, but a novice has a defense of five, and novices also have a magic defense of five."

He understood that a novice’s armor was superior to a minion’s armor. He also had a defense runestone, so he could ignore minion attacks completely.

Bebe continued calmly:

"Since you became an expert, your basic armor has a defense and a magic defense of ten. You could ignore attacks from minions, but novices may still pose you problems."

Junhyuk nodded, and Bebe pointed to a suit of armor.

"It’s possible to upgrade this armor five times, and you may also synthesize it with something else. It has a defense and a magic defense of 30! Astounding, right?"

"What about the price?"

"This one is the most basic one, and it costs twenty thousand gold. It’s as I’ve already explained."

Junhyuk looked at the other suits.

"What about this one?"

It was a black-colored suit of armor, and he liked the look of it. It would fit him well.

"Check it out yourself. Press your finger against it."

Junhyuk touched the image of the armor and inspected the item.

Bebe’s Black Armor (30,000G)

Defense +35

Magic Defensive +35

Attack speed +5%

Bebe sells it, and it increases the speed of the wearer. You can upgrade it five times, and the attack speed increases with each upgrade.

---

Junhyuk liked the ability to increase his speed, but it was too expensive. Artlan walked over to the pensive Junhyuk.

"Basic armor sets are very much the same. This one or that one, it doesn’t matter. You have to upgrade it, so buy something with the bonus option you like."

"I understand."

Junhyuk looked at the other pieces. Except for one, all of them cost thirty thousand gold, and they all had different options.

The black armor increased attack speed; the blue armor decreased the opponent’s attack speed; the red armor increased attack; and the violet armor increased defense.

Junhyuk thought about it and wanted to picked the black armor.

"Can I engrave and upgrade it?"

"Sure. It’s just like your swords."

"I see."

Junhyuk nodded and asked:

"Then, do I get the effects while it is hidden?"

"That’s different for armors. You have to wear it to get the stats, but with the exception of defense, the bonus options will work."

"I see."

Junhyuk ordered the black armor.

"I will take this one."

Bebe placed the plate on the counter, and Junhyuk swallowed his saliva dry. The price was astronomical. He swiped his hand over the plate, and the number decreased by thirty thousand gold.

However, 18,390G remained. He didn’t used to have that much money before, but now he was getting used to having a large sum.

Bebe pulled out one black armor from behind his counter, and Junhyuk walked over to him.

"Take it off."

"What?"

"Take off your armor."

"I can take it off?"

Bebe smiled, and took off Junhyuk’s armor. Junhyuk couldn’t say anything. He was now completely naked.

"Ahh!"

He turned around, and Sarang was covering her face with her hands, but she had seen everything. He covered his male part quickly, and Bebe covered him with the new suit of armor.

Click! Click!

Junhyuk felt the full suit of armor shrinking to fit his body and smiled.

"I did not explain it before, but it will hold your body’s temperature even after hiding it," Bebe said.

"I like it."

That meant he could withstand heat and cold. It had been expensive, but it was worth it. It had nice bonuses.

Junhyuk moved around. It was easy to move in it, and he asked Bebe:

"How much would an upgrade cost?"

"You can upgrade it five times. The first upgrade will cost ten thousand gold, but it will be worth it."

Junhyuk asked carefully:

"What about second upgrade?"

"The second costs twenty thousand gold; the third costs thirty thousand gold; the fourth costs forty thousand gold; and the fifth costs eighty thousand gold."

"Why is the fifth upgrade so expensive?"

"You will see. The last upgrade is special and really different."

Junhyuk smacked his lips. It would cost two hundred and ten thousand gold in total, and it would cost him a lot more to upgrade everything.

He sighed.

"Engrave this for me."

"Sure."

Bebe moved his hand, and he took some big steps back. Bebe laughed at him.

"You have to take it off before I can engrave it."

Junhyuk sighed.

"Sarang, close your eyes," he said.

"They are closed."

He looked at her, and her eyes were still open. Junhyuk shook his head and asked Bebe:

"Is there a changing room?"

"Why do you need it?"

Bebe quickly pulled off Junhyuk’s armor and stopped his nagging.

Junhyuk was completely naked again.

"Where do you want it?"

Junhyuk thought about it and lifted his hand.

"Over here."

He pointed behind his ear, and Bebe nodded and said:

"I will make it small."

Bebe pushed the plate, and Junhyuk put his hand on it, decreasing the number by a thousand gold. Bebe poured the contents of a small bottle on the armor and engraved it. It looked like a cross, but slightly different.

Bebe waved Junhyuk over to him, and he made the same shape behind Junhyuk’s ear.

"Now, send it away."

Bebe was holding the armor, and the armor disappeared.

"Summon it."

He summoned it and he was wearing his suit of armor.

"I like it."

Bebe smiled and asked.

"Do you really like it?"

"Yes."

Junhyuk pulled out the two Golden Knight Elder bracelets.

"Engrave these as well."

"Where do you want it?"

Junhyuk paid for the engravings and tapped the area behind his other ear. He was wearing his armor, and the armor clinked against his finger.

"Right here?"

"Sure."

The number decreased by two thousand gold, and 15,390G remained. He was worrying about how much money he was spending when Bebe took his armor off again.

Junhyuk covered himself, and Bebe said smiling:

"You have to take if off before I engrave you."
