The Devil's Cage Chapter 1424 – Repair

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Inside the living room, Wu still sat on her seat as though she had never moved after Kieran left.

Kieran walked over and initiated a trade.

He kept 32,000 Points and 17 Skill Points for himself and put everything else into the trade with Wu.

“I know this isn’t enough, but the auction outside is still ongoing, and everything I get from there will be yours. I’ll keep a little bit for myself to buy some stuff, but it won’t be much, just enough for a Basic skill book. I also know there is still a gap to fill before I can make it up to [Lucky Card IV]’s true value, so don’t worry, I’ll pay you back next time.” Kieran looked at Wu.

He awaited her answer, and if she rejected this proposition, he would have to find another way.

As for the watcher he killed after Server IV’s death?

Not only were the Points and Skill Points less, he’d only gotten a single item from the watcher.

[Name: Garse’s Arrow Replica]

[Type: Weapon]

[Rarity: Legendary]

[Attribute: Arrow Kill 1/1]

[Effect: None]

[Prerequisite: None]

[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]

[Remark: It isn’t the real Garse’s Arrow, but it has some of the scary traits of the original.]

…

[Arrow Kill: Inflict one Advance Rank damage to locked target. (Locked target cannot escape, and the damage will receive a High Rank Immunity. It will ignore defense below rank II, and when it faces rank III defense, attacks will drop to Strong; when it faces rank IV defense, attacks will drop to Average)]

…

This was no doubt a very specific item.

A one-time consumable Legendary rank item, but it had power that some Advance Rank items couldn’t even compare to. It was the reason why Kieran placed it in his bag. With the addition of the two scrolls he got from killing Server II back then, all the one-time consumable items had the ability to turn the tides of a battle.

Despite being consumable, Kieran didn’t mind and hoped he could get more.

As for the [Damaged High Blood Kindred Tooth]?

Kieran had other thoughts for it, similar to [Blood Kindred Replica].

The only thing he was able to let go of was the [Vicious Venom Pearl] that he got earlier.

But if he could, he would have liked to keep it as well, for the same reason as [Damaged High Blood Kindred Tooth].

“Sure, but I’ll take interest,” said Wu.

“How much?” Kieran frowned but didn’t reject.

To Kieran, as long as the condition wasn’t too harsh, if he could repair [Extreme Night], he would take it.

Moreover, [Lucky Card IV]’s rank IV rarity had proven its value.

The system was fair, and it was acknowledged by all players.

Wu looked at Kieran. She really wanted to say ‘No need, just be with me’ or something like that, but she knew that if she really said something like that, the man before her eyes would turn around and leave without a question.

Wu had slowly gotten a grasp of Kieran’s personality; she’d even experienced for herself the harsh coldness.

Therefore, she switched ways of dealing with him.

“30% and no extra, due after you come back from the next dungeon,” Wu said.

“Sure.” Kieran nodded and accepted the proposition.

When giving 90% and getting 120% back, 30% interest seemed very high, but without extra interest, it was still considered fair.

Kieran also didn’t reject the proposed time, as he didn’t want to owe her a favour for too long.

After the contract, Wu was sensible enough to leave the living room, leaving Kieran alone.

Once Kieran was finally left alone, he used [Lucky Card IV] right away.

A white light came from the card. It slowly dispersed like a mist and enveloped Kieran; it was faint as always, yet possessed outstanding power.

On the other hand, [Siegel Iron Hammer] made a lot of noise.

Amidst a series of fierce hammering, muffled, blurry noises of drinking with big gulps were heard. Kieran thought he saw a bearded dwarf wielding [Siegel Iron Hammer] in one hand while holding a wine barrel with the other; the dwarf was shouting too.

Of course, it was just an illusion, it didn’t really happen. What really happened was that the remaining cracks on [Extreme Night] quickly healed up, but after half of the remaining cracks were healed, it stopped.

Kieran used [Siegel Iron Hammer] again without a second thought, and this time, finally, all the cracks on [Extreme Night] were healed.

A pitch-black, abysmal longsword appeared in Kieran’s hand.

[Name: Extreme Night (Unawoken)]

[Type: Sword Type Weapon]

[Rarity: IV]

[Attack: IV]

[Attributes: 1. Night Veil; 2. Night Slash]

[Effect: Night Protection]

[Prerequisite: Eliminate Ye Jing]

[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]

[Remark: As the longsword that Ye Jing gained in an accident before following him on his long conquest, its power is undisputed, but it was damaged during the battle with you. Although you tried your best in fixing it, some essence was lost, but it isn’t a bad thing. At least you can awaken it, making it truly serve you!]

…

[Night Veil: Extreme Night transforms into a black moving light, blocking attacks that don’t surpass rank IV (including rank IV), 30-second durations, 3 per day]

[Night Slash: Perform a black light slash with a rank IV attack on a single target within a 300-meters radius, 3 per day]

…

[Night Protection: In the night/darkness, Night Veil’s duration increases by 25 seconds and Night Slash’s range increases by 100 meters.]

…

“Unawoken?” Kieran raised a puzzled brow.

He was surprised but not angry because it meant [Extreme Night] had potential he never imagined; it was good news for him.

As for how to awaken the sword?

He had no clear idea, only inklings, but that was a matter to think about after completing the matter with J. Pearlman.

For now?

Kieran hung [Extreme Night] at his waist. The black-feathered mantle covered the black longsword, showing only the hilt, and because everything was black, it was easy for others to overlook it; it was placed at the most convenient position for Kieran.

Kieran could instantly draw the sword out to fend off any kind of sudden attack.

He carefully tidied up his backpack and [War Zealot Box], and after making sure everything was ready, he walked out.

He’d only ever tidied up his items before he entered a dungeon world, so it was a first for him to do it in the big city.

Though, if it was to face off against that particular person, the preparation was necessary.

Kieran’s steps were firm but not slow.

J. Pearlman had been waiting for him in the bar for quite some time.

And the one who controlled all of this must be waiting for a long time as well.

Will it be you, Broker?
