My Salvation Game Became true?!

Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Lantern White Robe and Treasure Box Black Cat
 

There were many great things gained from this time, except for the ‘Physical Fitness Elixir’ which was of no use, the rest all had significant effects, some of which could be said to have come just in time.

Take the Energy Elixir, for example, its effect is similar to the Physical Fitness Elixir, but what it enhances is not the basic two dimensions but the upper limit of life energy.

Increasing the blue bar.

As a green-grade elixir, it’s probably not a small increase.

Fang You looked forward to it… Running out of life energy had always been a headache for him, even after his Awakening, he held the power of fifteen to twenty Palm Thunders, but was that a lot? Not at all.

Not to mention, the number of Mysterious Evil he was going to face this time was definitely not small, and having more life energy meant having more assurance.

Both bottles of Energy Elixir had their place, one for him, and one for Black Blade brother.

It’s true that An Jianyou worked hard with a 996 schedule, but her demand for life energy was relatively low compared to the two of them.

Her combat strength mostly came from her regular development, especially since the ‘Strange Implement Soul Banner’ could replenish and recover Xiao Hei No. 1, 2, and 3. If it weren’t for her recent Awakening, gaining a new ability, An Jianyou would normally fight without consuming much life energy.

Moreover, “Black Blade brother has been working diligently for so long, providing a good start for the organization, it’s time to enhance him a bit.”

“Not just the Energy Elixir, the Evil-Slaying Greatsword is also a piece of equipment that suits Black Blade brother well.”

‘Evil-Slaying Greatsword (Blue)’

‘Type: Strange Implement’

‘Effect: A weapon specialized against Mysterious Evil. Nemesis of Mysterious Evil, it possesses strong direct killing effects on Mysterious Evil. When injuring or killing Mysterious Evil, it can extract and absorb the mysterious factors from their bodies to replenish the holder’s life energy.’

‘Side effect: Each use of the Evil-Slaying Greatsword must result in a Mysterious Evil being slain. If it fails to kill at least one Mysterious Evil, it will backlash against the holder, absorbing their life energy and a small amount of life force.’

The Beginner’s Wooden Sword and Beginner’s Battle Knife do minimal direct damage to Mysterious Evil, barely more than scratching the surface.

Of course, these two beginner’s equipment are actually very strong, and using life energy is what makes them fully effective, with tremendous killing power. However, undoubtedly, the Evil-Slaying Greatsword is stronger, almost like the difference between beginner’s equipment and endgame gear.

Even an ordinary person wielding the Evil-Slaying Greatsword could easily slay a small Mysterious Evil, based on the description.

And…

“It seems the side effects are quite minor.”

“Unlike the Strange Implement Soul Banner, which continuously lowers one’s sanity. If it wasn’t for An Jianyou being coincidentally immune to it, that Strange Implement would actually be somewhat useless.”

The Evil-Slaying Greatsword, on the other hand, as long as one slays a small Mysterious Evil with each strike, there would essentially be no side effects, usable throughout the entire battle.

A rather nice piece of equipment.

“The category label on top is still ‘Strange Implement’ rather than ‘Strange Object’, maybe because the side effects of Strange Implements are much lower.”

The second blue item, ‘Lantern White Robe’, is also a Strange Implement.

And this one seems, perhaps, most likely… suited for the savior himself! It’s my turn to get stronger!

‘Lantern White Robe (Blue)’

‘Type: Strange Implement’

‘Effect·Lightless: Activates the Lightless ability, significantly reducing the presence of the wearer of the Lantern White Robe and blurring their form while accumulating Lantern Energy.’

‘Effect·Lighthouse: Releases Lantern Energy to enter Lighthouse state, during which the wearer’s spiritual power and resistances are greatly enhanced, while also providing Lantern protection.’

‘Side effect: Upon entering Lighthouse state, the wearer becomes extremely conspicuous and hard to move.’

Fang You’s expression was complex.

Saying that the Lantern White Robe has a weak side effect is indeed true; it’s almost not a side effect, but its effects don’t quite align with the philosophy that Fang You, the Savior, Torch Mentor, has always upheld.

He was a low-profile person, detached from the petty pleasures of showing off. However, the Lantern White Robe was too alluring; setting aside its two effects, the robe itself had formidable defensive capabilities. He estimated that it could probably even withstand the claw strikes from Mysterious Evil… although he wouldn’t actually test it.

What if it got damaged? There would be no way to fix it.

If he didn’t enter the Lighthouse state and depended solely on the first “Lightless” effect, it would have no side effects and was quite enticing to Fang You. With its presence-reducing and form-blurring effects, he wouldn’t have to worry about being discovered by the Investigation Bureau like An Jianyou when he went out to eliminate Mysterious Evil and gain experience.

But he still needed to test it to be certain about its effects.

Fang You immediately equipped the “Lantern White Robe” to his character.

Instantly,

Particles of light converged around him and in a moment, a hooded white robe with a cool texture and exquisite design materialized. It fit him perfectly without hindering his movements.

It even seemed to make him slightly more agile.

“The Lantern White Robe has a built-in switch that requires life energy to operate… The usage conditions are relatively high,” he noted.

The Evil-Slaying Greatsword could be wielded by anyone, while the Mysterious Evil’s “Strange Implement” had significant side effects…well, before An Jianyou’s Awakening, it seemed he couldn’t really control the Strange Implement either. It was always Xiao Hei number one and number two coming in and out on their own, not being remotely retrieved with a swoosh.

Fang You entered the “Lightless” state. There didn’t seem to be anything special about it; the entire robe just dimmed, becoming very plain as if it were covered with a thin layer of dust.

He looked at himself in the mirror. Still no change, he was as handsome as ever, standing out from the crowd like a crane among chickens.

This wasn’t right, why couldn’t he be low-profile?

He didn’t believe a blue-tier Strange Implement would be a sham.

Fang You then turned on the video recording function on his phone and took a video of himself. Now he could see what was special.

His figure in the video was blurry…no, it couldn’t really be called blurry, but a sort of indescribable unremarkableness, like any Tom, Dick, or Harry on the street that you would forget as soon as you looked away, leaving no impression at all.

This was excellent.

The safety of his travels had greatly increased and, besides this robe and the unused Physical Fitness Elixir, there was one more precious item he had drawn from fate—of purple tier!

It wasn’t the Apostle of Fate he was most hoping for, but it wasn’t completely unrelated either.

Mainly because it wasn’t human.

‘Sealed Artifact: Black Cat (Purple)’

‘Description: A special type of equipment, which can be bound to any Apostle of Fate, summoning a black cat sealed within the artifact to battle, while also sharing a portion of life energy.’

Beyond that was no further explanation.

Just from the description and its purple-tier rating, this black cat couldn’t possibly be just a regular black cat; it might even be powerful in combat, which was precisely what he needed the most right now.

Much better than getting an Angel Envoy novice like An Jianyou.

Uh… he just hoped this black cat wasn’t a novice as well.

The binding method was the same—directly equip it to the character. The game’s equipment generally had no limits; if you could take it, that was enough. However, when equipping this ‘Sealed Artifact’, the process was a bit slower.

Equipping: 1%…5%…18%…32%…

Fang You had to wait a full few minutes, during which his life energy was continuously drawn out. It was fortunate that the process was slow, or he might have been completely drained.

Once the process was complete, a black box with intricate and elegant patterns carved on it appeared in his hands.

Accompanied by a series of clicking sounds, the intricate mechanisms on the box slowly began to open, and puffs of black smoke billowed out from within.

Fang You’s eyes widened in anticipation.
