Tokyo underground city

Chapter 45 Gray Green Fury

"Which one to use?"

Lin Huai'en was stunned for a moment when he heard the mummy swordsman's prompt. He followed the mummy's fingers and saw a small black dot vaguely exposed inside the red crystal cluster.

"What is that?" He was a little confused.

"It's... a weapon..." the mummy swordsman replied:

"Weapons that come true...will also bring...misfortune...to...the user..."

Lin Huai'en staggered towards the red crystal cluster, looked at the things embedded in the red crystal, and was stunned:

"This is...an arm?!"

"This is... a weapon..." However, the mummy's voice sounded behind him: "It can... be... turned into a suitable... weapon... according to... your... ideas..."

"But how do I get it out..."

"You can take it out if you defeat me," the mummy said, "But... in the illusion... I can... let you... use it to... arm yourself first."

As the mummy finished speaking, the red crystal in front of him suddenly exploded.

This startled Lin Huaien, and he blocked the fragments flying towards his eyes. When he looked again, he saw that the arm in the crystal cluster had fallen to the ground.

【Ape Hand】.

Lin Huai'en thought of a famous supernatural story.

But although the hand in front of him was black, small, and as shriveled as a mummy, he could still tell that it was not the hand of an "ape" at all, but the hand of a "human"!

And it’s a child’s!

"This is a weapon...?!"

Lin Huaien's lips twitched, feeling that the mummy was joking with him.

"It is...a weapon of doom..."

However, the mummy swordsman just answered him calmly: "You can... choose to use it... or... not to use it."

Lin Huai'en hesitated and looked at the mummy swordsman: "If you pick it up in a dream, will you also suffer bad luck?"

"Yes." The mummy's answer made Lin Huaien's heart tighten, "But...if you leave...the illusion...it will...disappear."

"……I see."

Lin Huai'en didn't know if the mummy was lying to him, but he didn't have much choice.

The worst case scenario is to die, and then wait for the uncles from the engineering team to collect the body!

Lin Huai'en picked up the mummy's hand on the ground.

[Someone’s right forearm (including palm)]

【arms】

[Performance: Instrument of Doom, Form Transformation]

[Weapon of Doom: This weapon contains a strong power of curse, which can strengthen the curse carried by the user and give the user a "thirst for blood". 】

[Blood Thirst: When used, this weapon will continuously absorb the user's blood, 10 ml per hour. 】

[Note: This curse is not affected by curse resistance and will disappear after certain conditions are met. 】

[Form transformation: This weapon has no fixed form and can be transformed according to the user's needs. 】

[Weapon types currently convertible: sword type, knife type. 】

Lin Huai'en looked at the attribute column in front of him in surprise.

"Someone's right forearm" is obviously the same series of equipment as the "someone's left pupil" he has already obtained. However, "Someone's Right Forearm" does not have the same incubation time prompt as the "Green Man Bracer", which means that it is not a "treasure" but a "relic".

In the dungeon, all equipment that does not have hatching properties are considered to be "relics" left behind by certain beings. Like Treasure, there are three base levels, plus one special level.

Therefore, judging from Lin Huai'en's little experience in dungeons, the "right forearm" is at least a powerful relic of "level two" or above.

"No... this is a cursed item. It has extra properties in my hand. In the eyes of others, it shouldn't be that powerful."

Lin Huai'en carefully observed the weapon in his hand and said silently in his heart——

"Form transformation, long sword form!"

The moment his idea was formed, a large amount of black mist emerged from the "right forearm". When the black mist dissipated, what he held in his hand was no longer the mummy hand before.

Instead, it was a black long sword that was so black that it turned blue!

[Gray Green Fury (Long Sword Form)]

[Weapons/swords: sharpness 2.5, hardness 1.6]

[Performance: Instrument of Doom, Form Transformation]

The Gray Fury is much heavier than Lin Huai'en's previous short sword, but it is not outrageous. It weighs about 1.5 kilograms. Its style is close to a standard two-handed long sword, and it is heavier than the standard long sword of the Mummy Swordsman. A little longer.

There are faint cyan patterns on the sword blade, and the styles of the hilt and sword are very simple.

Although it is not gorgeous, in Lin Huai'en's hands, it has a solid sense of "weapon"!

"Now... we are... equal."

Seeing Lin Huai'en pick up the Gray Wrath, the mummy swordsman nodded and assumed a defensive posture again: "You... can... continue to attack...!"

.

Lin Huaien sat up suddenly, covered in sweat.

"Go to the toilet first..."

The first thing he did when he got up was to find a corner and happily picked a flower.

Then he turned his attention to the red crystal cluster at the end of his sight.

After obtaining the Gray Wrath, he also came out of the illusion once.

But in the red crystal, there is no mummy hand like a child's arm.

According to the mummy swordsman, if Lin Huai'en cannot defeat him in the illusion, then [someone's 'right forearm'] will never appear in reality.

"It's almost like a ghost story..."

Lin Huai'en murmured in a low voice, lying on the crystal cluster and observing it carefully.

Sure enough, this time he saw exactly the same scene as in the fantasy.

The mummy hand, like a child's arm, is quietly embedded in the red crystal cluster, as if it has always been there...

Lin Huaien breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his efforts in the illusion were not in vain.

But the crystal clusters in reality cannot be shattered instantly by the mummy swordsman's thought like the ones in the fantasy world.

Lin Huai'en had to pick up the mountaineering hammer and engineer shovel and dig it out bit by bit.

"For the sake of getting a good weapon, I did it!"

Lin Huai'en gritted his teeth, dragged his exhausted spirit, and walked towards his backpack.

The drinking water has been finished, leaving only nearly half of the dried meat and compressed biscuits.

According to the mummy swordsman, the exit is also behind the red crystal cluster.

"If I had discovered that there was a secret passage behind the crystal from the beginning... wouldn't I be able to get out of here without challenging you?!"

Hearing the mummy swordsman's words, Lin Huai'en had a strong feeling of "being fooled!"

However, he did not expect that the mummy swordsman actually nodded: "Yes... if... your observation skills are... good enough... you can... break the crystal... and escape from here..."

"But, in this case, I won't be able to get the 'Grey Wrath', right?"

Lin Huaien asked thoughtfully.

"Yes..." The mummy swordsman nodded as expected.

"But... I still don't understand why you revealed the 'Gray-Green Wrath' to me. If I hadn't obtained the 'Gray-Green Wrath', I wouldn't have been able to kill you."

It's one thing to "bravely" face a long sword with only a short sword in your hand.

It's another thing to face the mummy swordsman's sword while holding a two-handed long sword that's longer than the opponent's.

Although Lin Huai'en's swordsmanship cannot be regarded as beginners, after repeated attempts, even a rookie like him was able to stab the slightly falling bandage on the mummy swordsman's body with luck and weapon advantage.

Then cut it in two with one sword.

Looking at the broken bandage, Lin Huaien felt that it was impossible for the mummy swordsman to recognize him like this. However, he did not expect that the mummy swordsman was silent for a moment while looking at the falling bandage, but he actually nodded and admitted that he had been stabbed by Lin Huaien. .

However, no matter how slow he was, he could still detect that something was wrong with this serious act of letting off steam.

The mummy swordsman glanced at Lin Huai'en with his emotionless red eyes: "You are... a cursed... favored person... our... companion... not our... enemy. ...So I will...tell you...the...body of 'that lord'."

The mummy spoke extremely slowly, and Lin Huai'en listened for a long time before he finished speaking.

Then, Lin Huai'en was stunned.

"'That Lord'? 'The person favored by the curse'? Are you referring to my [Cursed Body] skill?!"

However, no matter how Lin Huai'en pressed the question, the mummy swordsman stopped answering.

He just walked slowly to the center of the illusion and sat down cross-legged.

"I will still... be here... if... your swordsmanship... reaches... a new stage... you can still... come to me..."

The mummy swordsman looked at Lin Huaien with his strange red eyes in the steaming black mist——

"I am...the...guardian of this level...kill me...and you can...obtain this level...the Heart of the Wilderness."
