Chapter 17: Face the Darkness! (Late)

Seeing the four words that appeared below the attributes of the Crescent Moon Shield in the light curtain, Tesla remembered the question he had forgotten to ask because he had entered the door of trials in a hurry.

"System, what is soul arming? Crescent Moon Shield, isn't it dark gold equipment? Or is the dark gold equipment the so-called soul armament? "Tesla used to be a certain high-level V who had read countless books, and based on the information available, he made his own assumptions.

But the system's answer surprised him a little: "Soul armament is a special equipment that will still have an effect on the host after leaving the dark world. This type of equipment cannot exist physically after leaving the dark world, but it can continue to function by attaching itself to the host's soul. This crescent moon shield is dark gold equipment, and it is also a soul weapon, but not every crescent moon shield is a soul weapon. Soul armaments include, but are not limited to, dark gold equipment and other equipment. ”

"So, any piece of equipment can be a soul weapon? Including Runic Words? Tesla, who was in the light curtain, subconsciously pinched his chin and asked.

"Yes, any piece of equipment produced in the dark world has the potential to become a soul weapon, but the possibility of dark gold equipment becoming a soul weapon will be higher." The system's reply gave Tesla some understanding.

"That is, soul armament is not so much a piece of equipment as it is a special equipment modifier? This modifier can appear on any piece of equipment, but the probability of appearing on dark gold equipment is higher, which is probably what it means, right? "Tesla's self-talk is less like asking the system, more like giving himself an answer.

There was no reply, as if acquiescing to Tesla's opinion.

……

Powerful, this is the only thing Tesla has to say about this equipment with a small shield of the crescent.

This strength is not only reflected in the increased 10 mana and stamina, but also in the two points of strength added when holding the shield!

If Tesla's 2 physical fitness attribute points contain about 2-3 of the range of strength, not counting the +1 strength glove he is wearing at the moment, his strength is nearly doubled when holding the shield!

In short, Tesla, who wears the Crescent Shield, has about twice as much strength as he did when he first stepped through the Trials Gate.

As for the other attributes that increase defense, Tesla really doesn't feel that it has any effect.

"Sister Na, how far are we from your closest companion?" The joy of getting the dark gold equipment for the first time was quickly ruined by the system's prompt.

In less than half an hour, Tesla must complete the main quest, or his fate may be over.

Fiona, who was still in a state of disbelief, hurriedly closed her eyes and sensed the location of her companion after hearing Tesla's words, and then pointed to the direction where those sinking demons appeared just now and said, "That direction, recently!" It should be less than 200 meters or so! ”

After hearing this, Tesla's eyes lit up.

For him, time is becoming more and more precious, which is nothing less than the sound of heaven.

"Sister Na, follow me, let's go and save your companion together!" Tesla, who held a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, did not have a trace of the elegant demeanor of a mage at all, and was more like a reckless warrior with blood.

Fiona nodded, following Tesla's footsteps and heading towards her companion's direction.

……

"Strange, what happened to these sinking demons, why did they all look panicked, by the way, what about their nannies? Where are those Fallen Demon Wizards? Karis, who had the same fate as Fiona but had a distinctly different mentality, not only did not worry about her fate, but instead judged the Demons of Doom who could kill her at any moment.

"Could it be that Kasha himself led the team to save us? No, no, no, it's impossible, if she does come, who will guard Camp Rog? But if it weren't for her, what would be going on with these Sinking Demons? Could it be that there was infighting or something? At the slightest disagreement, Karis, who had a big brain, began to wander.

In her bored distraction, the Sinking Demons suddenly let out a loud scream, and then heard a "boom", and one of the Sinking Demons fell to the ground.

"What is this?" Karis is just a natural optimist, but that doesn't mean she's brainless. Hearing the familiar sound of arrows, and seeing the panicked faces of those Fallen Demons, she had a vague conjecture in her heart.

Soon, a voice came from the dark hole to confirm her suspicion: "Sister Na, you hurry up and save your companions, and leave these Sinking Demons to me to deal with...... Rest assured, without the Sinking Wizards, these Sinking Demons are better to kill than those wandering zombies! ”

Then, she saw a petite figure appear in front of the group of Fallen Demons who shouted "Lacanixiu".

"Karis, sorry, we're late......" came the familiar voice of Sister Fiona.

……

It was the most hearty battle Tesla had had since entering the Trials Gate.

Far beyond the power of ordinary Sinking Demon, he used the Crescent Moon Shield to block the Iron Knife wielded by the Sinking Demon without feeling the slightest pressure.

This group of defeated soldiers without the Sinking Demon Wizard is probably the guy who ran out of the large group of Sinking Demons just now.

This would explain the inexplicable appearance of a large team of 4 Fallen Demon Wizards.

When Tesla was about to deliver the final blow to the last Demon of Destruction who was desperately running away with his back to him, two consecutive "Boom" and "Boom" sounds came from his ears, and he saw the Devil of Destruction fall to the ground, motionless.

"Tesla, this is my companion and my good sister, Karis." Fiona was about to introduce Tesla and Karis to each other, but Tesla interrupted her anxiously.

"Sister Na, what to introduce, there's no rush to wait, the key now is to rescue your other companions! I have an ominous feeling that if I don't hurry, something will probably happen to them! Seeing that the time was less than 20 minutes, Tesla looked very anxious.

Fiona and Karis looked at each other for a moment, then began to sense the location of their nearest companion.

……

"Main quest completed." When the system prompt appeared in Tesla's mind, he suddenly fell to the ground with complete relaxation.

In order to save the last Roger scout named Darcy, Tesla and they ran all the way without any rest.

When she finally arrived, she found that in addition to a group of Sinking Demons led by two Sinking Demon Wizards, there were also several zombies around her.

In order to save Darcy, who was tightly surrounded in the innermost part, these monsters in front of him became objects that he could not ignore.

Finally, with the help of Fiona and Karis, Tesla ran out of mana, so he barely managed to save Darcy before the time ended. Therefore, Tesla, who felt the information from the system and avoided a death crisis, relaxed his nerves that were originally stretched to the limit, and because of this, he exhausted his physical strength and energy, so he couldn't care about maintaining the image in front of the three royal sisters Fan Da Beauty, and directly sat on the ground covered with blood.

However, the system doesn't seem to want to let him go so easily.

"Hint, side quest: Face the Darkness has been triggered."
