I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 268: Power Arm

Chapter 268: Power Arm

"Show us the item." said Draught.

Then, Vigo begins to take out a pair of leather gauntlets from his space storage. Both Gilford and Angus could see many complicated enchantment runes on the gauntlet.

"I call this gauntlet Power Arm. There are two main functions of this gauntlet. The first is to change its weight. By imbuing it with mana, it could change its weight up to a few tons in less than a second. It could turn as light as a feather."

"The second function is to absorb and contain energy. This energy could be used as an energy reserve to imbue the user attack. So far, it could only contain energy such as ordinary mana, fire mana, blue flame mana, miasma, and soul power." explained Vigo.

Hearing Vigo's explanation, everyone is surprised, especially Draught and Millie. For them, soul power is the most mysterious and bizarre force.

Only a few people could detect and use Soul Power. Therefore, there are few items with the soul power, much less the one that could contain it.

"Vigo, are you sure that it could contain Soul Power?" asked Draught seriously.

"Y-Yes, master it should be. During the last few weeks, I am getting help from Lady Millie to understand more about Soul Power." replied Vigo.

"Hmm… I see. Then, little girl, why don't you try this Power Arm first?" said Draught, giving the Power Arm to Millie.

Receiving the Power Arm, Millie immediately wants to test the item since she is excited to have an item that correlates with Soul Power. After getting some explanation about how to use it from Vigo, she immediately imbues the gauntlet with Soul Power.

Millie created [Soul Ball] while using? Power Arm. *Whossh* a small grey ball hovering above Millie's hand. Then, Millie imbues the Power Arm with mana and is willing it to absorb [Soul Ball].

Suddenly, the grey ball disappeared into the Power Arm. Everyone was immediately surprised at this phenomenon, especially Draught, who was smiling creepily.

"Now, try to bring it back." said Draught.

Like before, Millie imbues the Power Arm with a bit of mana before controlling it to bring back [Soul Ball].

Suddenly, a small grey ball appeared and flew fast into the air. Fortunately, Millie immediately reacts quickly and controls [Soul Ball]. Before anyone could respond to this, Draught appeared in front of [Soul Ball], observing it.

"Hmm… There is a bit more loss of Soul Power than before being absorbed into the Power Arm. But, it is minuscule and almost unnoticeable."

"Moreover, the fact the little girl could easily take control of it means it is still her own Soul Power…." as Draught keeps analyzing the Power Arm.

Then, Draught makes everyone test the Power Arm. Jayna, Mia, and Anna try its energy absorption with their respective energy. Gilford and Ilgor test its weight changer ability.

After doing all the tests of Power Arm, Draught couldn't help but smile happily as he like found a new toy.

"I get it. You use many complex enchantment runes to absorb and contain the energy. This is truly marvelous work. But, I still don't get why you added the weight changer ability." said Draught.

"Err.. I read in some books that a strong and heavy attack will create more destructive force. If you manage to get the right timing and make the power arm heavy during the attack, it will produce a more devastating attack." replied Vigo.

"Hmm… I see what you did there. You actually make this Power Arm to complement their combat capability. the orc and Jade's son could use the weight changer while others could use the energy absorption. Good.. Excellent.. Hahahha." laughed Draught.

"Y-Yeah, but in the middle of the experiment, I end up using all your resources and my money. I could not even create the Power Arm for everyone like I planned." said Vigo downheartedly.

"Nonsense, why do you care about such a thing?!! Don't you know what you are creating is revolutionized technology? Your Power Arm has a lot of prospects to develop further. Such a resource is nothing compared to this Power Arm." said Draught.

"B-But, master. I still failed your test. I still cannot make suitable weapons for everyone." replied Vigo.

"And?? Just forget the test. This thing is the real deal. Oohhh… The enchantment rune is like alive. It changes depending on the energy it absorbs. Interesting.. Interesting…" said Draught as he checked the Power Arm further.

Seeing this, Angus and the others couldn't help but be surprised at the Draught's eccentric behavior. At one moment, he was earnest about the test. In the next moment, he told everyone to forget the test and keep fiddling with the Power Arm like a child.

"Ahh.. Why are all of you still here? Get out!! I and Vigo have many things to discuss about this Power Arm." said Draught while dragging Vigo to his small house and ignoring everyone.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be speechless, but they decided to go back to do their own stuff. Although Angus and Gilford are also interested in Power Arm, they could only reluctantly give Vigo away to Draught for now.

They believe they will have more time to work with Vigo in the future as he is already bound by a contract with Jayna.

Gilford even daydreams about the thought of all his battle golems having Power Arm. Such an army will be ridiculous and could easily fight a fifth or probably six grade combatant.

As for Angus, he wants to develop the Power Arm further to enhance his combat prowess. Just by the weight-changing ability, it is already making him drool.

He knows the importance of a heavy attack during a close combat attack. By changing the weight at the right moment, he could easily beat their opponent with just one attack.

After getting out of Draugh's small mountain, everyone goes towards their own respective place. Only Angus and Anna decide to go back to the inn while the others decide to venture independently.

Angus wants to keep cultivating the chi while Anna decides to look out for him while playing with bubbles. Apparently, Anna notices that Angus is fastening his chi cultivation and making it more dangerous than before.

The approaching Endless Battlefield makes Angus worry and he wants to be ready with all his power. He also hears some story about the Endless Battlefield from both Jade and Draught, which increases his worry.

He feels like going to have an exam without knowing what the subject is and the topic. All he could do was prepare anything for the worst case.

As time goes by, the day Endless Battle opens finally arrives. Currently, every person in the Porros is wearing their battle gear and enchanted armor, ready to battle.

At the same time, there is no single merchant shop open. Every single shop in the merchant district is closed. The atmosphere is very tense as they are going through a war. While all of this is happening, Draught and Vigo still stay at Draught's small house leisurely.

"Master, do you think they will survive?" asked Vigo worriedly.

"If after they have your Power Arm and still not survive this, then they simply are not worthy of your creation." replied Draught while drinking tea.

"You are right, but, How about master Angus?" asked Vigo.

Hearing this, Draught stops drinking his tea for a moment before answering.

"We could only hope fate is on his side." said Draught solemnly while looking in a certain direction like he could see past the wall.

In the meantime, at a certain area near Porros city. A huge black stone Pillar is erected from the ground. This is one of the entrances of the Endless Battlefield.

Although Endless Battlefield is located at the center of this dimension, the area is covered and protected by a powerful barrier. Once in a few years, the barrier will be weakened from the dimension's space turbulence and create an opening.

This opening has also become a sort of entrance and exit to this place. During the opening time, there will be a massive fluctuation of mana from it. Therefore, many monsters couldn't resist the temptation of approaching this place.

In some cases, even Monster Overlord couldn't resist their instinct and started to go on berserk from the huge mana fluctuation. Therefore, every city near the entrance, like the Porros city, will need to be ready to fight and fend off the incoming monster horde.

At the same time, many kinds of people are also gathering near the Stone Pillar to enter the Endless Battlefield. Near the stone pillar, a few black robbed people are sitting on the ground while mumbling something.

These people are known as Soul Keepers. They are one of the most secretive and mysterious people in the world. All the Soul Keeper keeps chanting in an unknown language and low voice while ignoring the gathering people in the surrounding.

Unexpectedly, the surrounding people also do not bother to disrupt the Soul Keeper. They know that each of these Soul keepers is very strong individually and could kill them easily. Some ignorant people already pay with their life as they try to disrupt these soul keepers.

During this time, Angus and everyone else also arrives near the Stone Pillar. Like everyone else, they decide to wait silently and on a certain spot. Suddenly, a green flash appeared in front of them and approached Jayna.
