NOVEL WEB Chapter 70 Departing, Erix's first solid weapon
70 Departing, Erix's first solid weapon
Erix, Rin, and Isabella sat on Sanguinite Eagle, which floated twenty meters above the camp and were fully prepared.
The countdown only had ten seconds left, and once that hit zero, a boss would spawn.
Three teams of the camp had returned, and a couple of them were on the way from the wilderness.
"It will come soon."
"Get ready, everyone!"
The people of the camp stood as tension filled the area. After all, nobody knew how strong of a boss monster would spawn.
Time passed, and everyone waited with bated breath.

*Roar!!*
Everyone heard a distant roar that echoed from afar and gradually came near.
A kilometer from the camp in the direction of the forest, a burst of sparkling smoke blasted into existence before a giant hand rose from it, light blue and coarse.
And then came out a face with a single big eye and a straight horn on its head.
Its giant eye quickly spotted the camp as the monster roared again, sweeping away all smoke and revealing its massive twenty-five meters tall appearance!
[ Destruction Cyclops ]
_Type: Special Monster
_Vitality: [20,000/20,000]
_Attack: 600
_Defence: 500
"Attack!!"
Someone from below shouted as all those above level 40 rushed towards the monster!
Rin unfurled her lightning-spark wings and shot forward.
Erix flew up with two giant metal boulders with spikes all over them that he condensed by crushing several cars and other metal objects.
Each weighed two tons, but he easily controlled them as he flew high up in the sky.
On the other hand, Isabella moved towards the monster on Sanguinite Eagle.
Seeing the giant cyclops raising its hand with the intention to slap on the ground towards people, Isabella waved her hand as she consumed Ether energy after switching to Earth Elemental Gear and created a giant Earth pillar 45 degrees from behind the Cyclops and hit the back of its left knee.
Its knee bent, causing it to lose balance as the monster fell backward!
Everyone was surprised and then overjoyed as they started hurling their skills at the monster!
Rin also started unleashing lightning blade strikes on Cyclops' head from her Blade Eater for constant high damage.
With over thirty people constantly attacking it, its vitality was reducing alarmingly.
*Roar!*
The Cyclops angrily roared before its giant eye glowed, aimed straight at Isabella and the Sanguinite Eagle.
*Zeeem!*
A quick dark blue laser shot out from its eye. The attack was so quick that Sangle couldn't dodge in time and obliterated its left wing!
"Sangle!" Isabella was shocked and quickly used her skill, [Regrow Spirit] on it to regrow its wing, but the cooldown was not over yet!
Immediately after failing to heal Sangle, Isabella switched to her Wind Elemental Gear and created gusts of wind around Sangle to help it fly with one wing as they slowly and safely descended.
*Roar!*
The cyclops then stood up, intending to attack others around it.
But just when it stood up after the laser eye attack, Erix's spiky metal boulders descended like missiles! One on its head and one on its left shoulder!
*BOOOOOM!*
-3628!
-3294!
"Holy shit! Whose attack was that?!"
"What the fuck is that damage?!"
"It fell again! KILL IT!"
All the people who were fighting were shocked as that one attack brought the monster to its death door!
"Awesome, darling," Rin grinned and raised her sword high before she extended its blade by ten meters by consuming 300 Blade Energy and then spent 100 mana to infuse Lightning energy in it.
*Slash! Crackle!*
The blade struck Cyclops from its head to its stomach, dealing the final blow as its vitality hit zero.
[Congratulations! You have defeated the Destruction Cyclops!]
[Everyone gets Mystic Coins based on the damage dealt and other types of contribution. Mystic coins can be used in Mystic Shop in any Labyrinth Tower.]
Afterward, everyone got an individual notification about getting Mystic Coins.
Erix got 610 Mystic Coins, Rin got 430 Mystic Coins, and Isabella got 260 Mystic Coins.
After everyone returned to camp, people quickly got familiar with Erix, Rin, and Isabella as their contribution was massive and their power impressive.
A female doctor had a healing skill similar to Isabella, so she healed Sanguinite Eagle's destroyed wing.
And finally, after staying and resting for an hour, the trio departed from Lemon Town and flew towards Phoenix City in the night at approximately 1 AM.
With the barrier present around them on Sangle's back, they flew at a constant fast speed and expected their arrival at Phoenix City after an hour.
"Let's open treasures and see what items to feed the Tier-1 upgrade stones," Erix said right after they left the town and took out his items.
Rin and Isabella also took out their items.
-> Tier-1 Material Crate.
-> Consumable Crate.
-> Tier-1 Combat-type Item box.
-> Tier-1 Item box with guaranteed Epic grade item.
They first opened material crates, each getting three material-type items like fruits and pieces of ore. They had no use for these items since they were materials to create something out of them.
Next, each of their consumable crates gave them three potions with temporary effects: a recovery potion, a magic boost potion, and a mana recovery potion.
Next, the Tier-1 combat-type item box contained weapons.
Rin opened her item box first and got a futuristic-yet magical-looking black revolver with silver-blue patterns.
[Neon Revolvor]
_Rank: Tier-1
_Grade: Uncommon.
_Base Bullet Damage: 100 + 100% of the user's magic power.
_Effect: A revolver that produces bullets based on the user's energy input. You can store six bullets at a time.
Upon checking the weapon's description, Isabella thought of something and said, "Rin, can you give me that for a bit?"
"Sure."
Isabella took the revolver and infused 50 Ether Energy while her Earth Elemental Gear was activated.
The revolver readily produced a brown bullet in its cylinder.
Rin and Erix continued to observe as Isabella infused Ether energy again after changing her Elemental gear, causing a fiery red bullet to condense into the second slot of the revolver's cylinder!
"As expected of Tier-1 items," Erix said, his eyes slightly sparkling. "Even though it's just an uncommon-grade item, Its structure and the magic formation within it are more advanced."
"Eh? Did you manage to see that?!" Rin was startled.
"Nope," Erix chuckled. "But it's obvious, right?"
Rin smacked her lips and rolled her eyes at his response while Isabella let out a chuckle. They thought that Erix managed to see through the structure of the item.
"Isabella-sis, you can take the revolver since you can use it more efficiently, and guns are not my thing anyway."
"Alright," Isabella smiled and then opened her item box. "Let's hope I get a bladed weapon so you can feed it to your Blade Eater."
Unfortunately, what she got was a pair of gauntlets.
[Radiant Crush Gauntlets]
_Rank: Tier-1
_Grade: Rare
_Base Damage: 200 + 200% of the user's strength.
_Magic Punch Gauge: [0/100]
_Effect(s):
—> Magic Shatterer: Capable of destroying projectile skill shots. Consumes mana upon impact and consumption is based on the power difference between your punch against an incoming skill shot.
—> Magic Punch: Stores residual energy of shattered skill shots to be used as a projectile punch.
"Woah, I think I finally got a weapon I can use," Erix's face glowed upon seeing the item's description.
"Indeed," Isabella nodded with a smile and gave the gauntlets to Erix. "You also have punch force skill, so your damage will be insane."
"They are so cool," Aaron said with shining eyes looking at the dark gold gauntlets with red, blue, and silver carving designs.
Erix didn't have a weapon he constantly used, like Rin's swords and Isabella's staff, so these gauntlets would help him in the long run.
"Since we'll have solid Tier-1 weapons, we can use the Tier-1 upgrade stones on them," Erix nodded. The Tier-1 Upgrade stones were magical stones capable of upgrading a weapon-type equipment's effectiveness and damage.
"This weapon is powerful," Rin muttered before she urged Erix, "alright, now quickly open your item box."
"Don't worry, babe. This one definitely has a bladed weapon for you," Erix grinned and opened his item box.
The box glowed before it spewed out a rather long weapon.
"This…no way!" Rin's eyes shined like diamonds.
It was a type of weapon they had never gotten before, and it was bladed!
