The thick iron doors in front of him had split in half. He was standing in front of the building in the centre of Soul City and the doors immediately opened as soon as he said ‘Open Sesame.’ Well he found the answer but….what the h.e.l.l, something like this….
Ark made a bemused expression for a while before shaking his head.
‘No, I should stop thinking like this. The important thing is that I found the answer. And it isn’t finished yet. And there is no guarantee this building will be safe. This isn’t the time to be discouraged. Let’s relax.’
Ark took a deep breath. And he slowly entered the building.
Behind the door was a steep staircase leading down. The stairs were very long. He warily walked down the stairs but didn’t see anything for a while. He travelled hundreds of metres downwards on the seemingly never-ending stairs.
Pajajak.
He heard the sound of something crumbling at his feet.
‘What is this? Is it due to insects? If this is an insect’s fault then they need to be a considerable size….’
It was the same leather texture like a shed piece of skin. Ark continued descending until he reached the floor of the underground s.p.a.ce. Thick cobwebs were stuck every 1 metre and large oval objects approximate 3~4 metres large were placed everywhere.
‘This looks like an alien’s hatchery.’
Soul City had the atmosphere of an 80’s RPG while the building was like a weird 80’s movie. Well, it didn’t matter right now.
Pajajak! Pajajak! Pajajak!
Ark looked around with a tense expression. The sound of someone continuously stepping on leather could be heard. Ark reflexively grabbed his sword and swung around. However, the only one who caught his eye was Basak.
Ark shouted with a displeased expression.
“D-d.a.m.n! You surprised me. What are you doing all of a sudden?”
–Huh? Ah no, there seems to be something there….
“Over there? Eh?”
He turned in the direction Basak pointed towards. Ark walked closer towards a stone statue that looked like a scarab. It also had cobwebs stuck to it but once he cleared it, the statue looked like a sarcophagus. It was common sense to open it when finding something like this in a dungeon!
Ark lifted the lid.
“Eh? P-perhaps this is?”
Ark’s eyes popped out with surprise. An item inside the sarcophagus!
They were glossy boots made of a polished, black sh.e.l.l. Ark sceptically picked up the boots and an information window popped up.
-Phantom Boots (Artefact)
Item Type: Light Armor (Shoes) Wearer Restriction: Elim’s Heir only
Defense: 70 Durability: 100/100
Thousands of years ago, the Murat created 5 Divine Artefacts for their Elim. This Divine Artefact is different from the others as it is made using the biological tissue of a strange organism. It is the biological tissue from the life form called Drone.
The Murat originally called the Drone ‘Scarabaeus.’ They prayed to this creature for ‘eternal life’ and were used to make protective amulets. The Scarabaeus that the Murat found in the past was a precursor to the creatures found in a s.p.a.ce time gap. Since then, the Murat studied the creature and used them to make the Rama battle suits. In ancient times, Kuhwen who was the Horus of the Murat studied the Drones and made the Divine Artefact Phantom Boots.
The most surprising performance of the Phantom Boots is the technique called ‘Soul Sprint.’ When Soul Sprint is used, the s.p.a.ce around the user will distort and evasion will increase by 50%.
Special Options (Soul Sprint): The surrounding s.p.a.ce will distort and the body’s ability to evade attacks will increase by 50% for 20 minutes. However, this effect is only applied when moving (Force Consumption: 200 Cool down time: 1 hour>
