Chapter 200 - Purchase
"Don't worry, 2 weeks is plenty of time," Yuki replied with a smirk.
After his speech, Yuki got out of the room before asking Zero to teleport him to the 4th dungeon so that he could get started on his training for the following 2 weeks so that he could demolish the enemies which Scar had created for him.
"Hey Zero, do you mind teleporting me to the 4th dungeon of this world. What is the theme of it?" Yuki asked Zero in a confused tone.
"Of course, master. The name of the dungeon is 'Elven Garden'. From the name alone, you should know that all of the creatures in there should be elves which you will have to battle in exchange for exp. I assume that you'll be relying on your own strength instead of calling out to me, One or absorbing potions?" Zero questions Yuki as he teleports him to the dungeon gate of the 4th dungeon.
"Ya ya, I know. I'll only use what I have. This shouldn't take too long as long as I kill each of the elves quickly so that the system doesn't balance their strength to mine," said Yuki as he entered the dungeon with the doors closing behind him after he passed through.
"Let's get this started," said Yuki as he pulled out "Fallen angel of hell'' from his inventory.
...
"I guess he really did teleport out of here. I wonder if he'll be okay though. I mean is it ever possible to clear a dungeon in a single week? I haven't even heard of raid squads which have managed to accomplish that," Avila said to Scar.
"Don't worry, he'll be back alive. The only question is if he'll make it back in time. I'm pretty sure he wasn't lying about clearing a dungeon in 1 week but although that is impressive, it was done in one of the first dungeons if not the first dungeon a player has to go in. As the dungeon's number increases, the tougher it is not only strength wise but with how versatile the monsters in it are as well, in turn making the process take much longer than possible. Anyway, I should leave and tell the squad which challenged Yuki that their battle will have to take place in 2 weeks' time," said Scar before he left as well, leaving Avila all alone once again.
After a while of walking, Scar finally made it back to the castle-like structure in the kingdom where the group of people which had offered to challenge Yuki were. Although a bit odd, they hadn't left the place.
"Oh look who's back. Are you here to cancel the fight after you get scared?" one of them asked in a taunting tone so that Scar wouldn't back out even though he hadn't.
"I'm not here to back out of the deal. However I would like to make a change," said Scar.
"What? So are you going to add some rule that only one of you can fight him and the person who fights him has to be the weakest person here, huh?`` They continued to try to provoke him.
"You guys seriously have a problem with talking over people before they can finish. Anyway, I only came here to tell you that the fight will have to take place in 2 weeks instead of one since it looks like Yuki is in worse condition than I thought. Would that be a problem for you?" Scar asked them.
"Oh that's it? I thought you wanted to back out or something. Never mind then, if you only need an extension by 1 more week, be our guest. It'll be more fun to beat Yuki when he's at full strength anyway," One of them replied, which allowed Scar to let out a sigh of relief.
"Why are you so relieved? It's not like you're safe. Whether it be 1 week from now or 2 weeks, you'll eventually have to join us and there's no way to escape that fate of yours," they said before going back to their conversation.
"Good, it's best that they don't know about what Yuki is doing. The more that they believe that they're safe from him, the better. His new found power will shock them straight to hell," Scar thought to himself before leaving the castle-like building and heading back home.
...
"I'm home," said Scar as he opened the door before closing the door behind him once he had entered the house.
"Hey, didn't you say that you were going to train me so that I wouldn't be a setback to you guys? Well I'm waiting because I'm getting tired of staying here all day," Avila finally said to Scar.
"Oh right. My bad, I shouldn't have forgotten. The longer you stay weak, the more Yuki will resent accepting you into our group. If you want to be seen as an asset, you'll have to prove that you're useful to him," said Scar as he put on his shoes once again.
"What are you waiting for? Let's get going," said Scar as he opened the door for her.
"But wait, I need to get ready first. I can't leave in these clothes," said Avila as he began to turn back towards her room which was upstairs.
"You're going to risk your life in a dungeon where you'll be facing dozens of undead beasts. I don't think a single one of them cares what their prey looks like as long as it's human," said Scar to which Avila nodded and went to wear her sneakers.
"Good, now that we can start heading out, do you have any equipment on you?" Scar asked Avila.
"I actually do. Is a single dagger enough?" Avila asked with an air head's face which made Scar sigh.
"I guess we better go to an equipment shop first so that we can get you something which you can use in the fight. I assume that you usually use daggers so I'll buy you a dagger. Don't worry, it'll be on me," said Scar as he began to walk towards where he believed the shops were run by the NPCs.
"Now that I think about it, I never really go to many shops here. The only store which I ever go to is the potion shop to restock. Most of my weaponry is gained from the dungeons," said Scar as he continued to walk with Avila.
"Actually, I hear that's the case for most of the advanced players. They choose to opt for the weapons they earned in dungeons because they feel some sort of connection with any blade or weapon they fought for,"Avila replied as the two finally made it to the shopping district of the kingdom.
After a few minutes of walking around, Scar noticed a store which had a lot of different weapons inside of it from varying sizes and shapes. As such, Scar went inside of it with Avila following behind him. Scar instantly headed off to an area which had a lot of daggers so that he could pick one for Avila which he believed to be of the best quality.
"Uh, Scar, daggers aren't actually my specialty. It was whatever I could afford at the time and I used it until I could get more money. Actually, I was hoping that I could get a gun instead if that would be okay with you of course," Avila requested.
"Of course. You can get any weapon you like and I'll pay for it. Although you should know that there's a reason why not many people use bullet-based weapons. Most guns and things of that sort are actually basically useless in this world since their base is limited unlike the weapons which you gain from dungeons. In the dungeons, the power which a weapon holds is entirely dependent on what stage and which dungeon you're in as opposed to the guns which always stay the same," Scar explained which made Avila rather sad.
"However, if you insist on getting the guns, you can still get it but to make the guns useful, you'll have to change your ability to be that which enhances the gun's capability so that it is more viable in dungeons," Scar offered, to which Avila quickly nodded in agreement.
"Okay then pick out the guns you would like to get from this store," said Scar, to which Avila quickly pulled out a dual machine gun pair that spooked Scar at first before he took the guns out of her hands and placed them on the counter.
"That'll be 2000 silver young men," said the old NPC who was the owner of the store. Scar instantly knew that the old man was an NPC as no one except for them would have access to such weapons.
Scar quickly paid the old man and had Avila store the guns in her inventory.
"Oh wait, don't I need ammo for this?" Avila asked.
"Don't worry about that, you can just make your ability create augmented bullets which when created drain stamina from you," said Scar which Avila nodded in agreement.
