? You have acquired All-Purpose Weapon! ?
? All-Purpose Weapon ?
? Grade: F
It's an item that could transform into a weapon that the owner has experienced.
(Only when the system recognizes one as a weapon.)
Growth-type weapon. ?
Sheila stares at the inventory window, precisely at the bracelet among all items there. With a simple thought, a green bracelet disappeared from the inventory and materialized in front of her. She grabs the bracelet and inspects all around it, trying to find something. And after all that inspecting, she concludes that it is a bracelet; she didn't see thing incorrectly. Yes, the so-called All-Purpose weapon is a beautiful natural green jade bracelet.
She thought it was a swiss knife that she was getting at. Or maybe a long spear that could change its form into a short spear. But not this bracelet. She equips the green bracelet on her left hand, and it smoothly fit in her thin and feminine hand. She has an uncomfortable feeling the moment she wears it; it was because she has never wear accessories in her life other than the gift from her mother on her birthday. And that's also merely a short time before she stopped wearing it.
But what she didn't expect was when she feel uncomfortable for a moment before it disappeared completely, as if she hasn't worn anything on her hand. She looked at her left hand and was surprised that the bracelet is gone and immediately went into the inventory to check. But it wasn't there. She checks all over the leveling system before finding it at an unexpected place. It was in the status window; the chibi version of her was wearing a green bracelet on her left hand.
So does this mean that she was still wearing the bracelet, but she could make it invisible to the naked eyes? Is this the system power, or is it from the bracelet? She tried to imagine the bracelet appearing in her left hand and not so surprisingly, it appears. She won't say that she was unexpectedly excited when seeing such a magical scene, all thing considered when Sheila herself could conjure fireball out of thin air.
But how does this small bracelet can transform into a weapon that would bring death to life? The description said it could turn into a weapon that she had experienced, so does it also include the rusty sword from back then? Whatever it is, she shall give it a try. She closes her eyes and shut down any useless thought in her mind before imagining her bracelet turning into the rusty sword and gripped the handle hard. When she could feel the sensation of the cold hard handle in her hand, she opened her eyes wide only to see a sword that's entirely different than the rusty one.
The blade seems very sharp, enough to cut someone with ease. It was like seeing a new sword, totally different than a rusty one. Well, of course. It is a new sword.
This is weird, Sheila thought in her mind. She had imagined it to be the rusty sword when she once used, but how did it turn like this? She tries to transform the sword into a kitchen knife, and without any surprise, it immediately went from a long blade into a short looking blade that of the knife.
Although it has such a cool and useful function, the grade of the weapon is F, the lowest grade. But it did say in the description that it is a growth-type of weapon. So does that mean as it grows stronger, the higher the grade goes? There's no durability in its description, unlike the saber in the shop that she had seen. Does it mean it is indestructible?! No way. Sheila refuted her word within a second.
If it's indestructible, then the grade would have been higher even when it was a growth-type of weapon. Just that indestructible attribute alone could make anything into a mystical item. Sheila remembered reading a comic when the protagonist defeated a new monster in Instant Dungeon, and the drop was indestructible shorts that would protect a specific important region only known to man. She hopes that she wouldn't get anything of that sort. No matter how powerful the attribute is, if it were just underwear, she wouldn't take it.
Either way, she could just test it out in actual combat and see if the sword gets chipped after slaying a group of goblins in not so distance away from her. She checks out the inventory and makes sure she had enough potions for the battle ahead. One can't look down on goblin, or you will be trash in no time like a particular anime.
When she had first come across the group of goblins, she was unsure if she can safely fight with a small kitchen knife. At most, she could handle three goblins at once, and that still required her to use magic. It is also the reason why she decided to do the lottery moments ago. She prefers doing ten rolls at once instead of doing one roll. She didn't know if the ten rolls bonus reward influenced her like in the game she played, but she always goes for a ten if there's such option.
Anyway, that's enough of getting sidetrack midway. It's time to slay all the goblins to their last kind. That is if the boss in the room on the other side of the door is actually Goblin King. Without wasting any time further, Sheila jumped toward the closest goblin to her location and swung her sword at it.
"GAGA!" "Guga!"
The goblin that was cut by her sword gives the last shriek before it died, which alert the other goblins. She didn't wait for them to react and instead runs toward the next prey before pulling out a huge rock from the inventory on top of the goblin. The huge rock smashes the goblin apart from right above the head as the brain matter splattered on the ground. It couldn't even shriek before dying from getting crushed. She never tried this out before and thankfully it works in the dungeon.
"Gugaga!"
It was not even a minute, but the two goblins were already dead. The three other finally came to their sense, and they rush to Sheila with the club in hands. The first to arrive in front of her was greeted with a burning sensation on its whole body; a fireball hit it. It went mad and shrieked as it wildly attacks the surrounding with the club, hoping to catch the one who causes it to be in flame, but Sheila has already escaped.
Once the flame subdued, a goblin with a burning red skin appear. It was a horrific graphic that sheila wish she didn't see it. But either way, it is still alive although how horrible its body had come to be. She provokes the goblin with her gesture, and in no time, it bit and charge at her like an idiot. She has this weird feeling of wondering how in the world does the goblin understand from a simple gesture from her. If she weren't in the middle of the battle, she would have considered thinking deeply about what is life.
Joking aside, it seems that she had grown stronger, considering how she was calm and could make a joke while amid the battle as she dodges the goblin attack with ease. While she was having her time avoiding the goblin attack, she didn't notice that the door was slowly being open until it was wide, enough for a couple of goblins to walk out. But only one came out of the huge door.
It was a goblin yet unlike the common who only wear dirty drag covering their most important part; this one is wearing a cloak covering its head while holding onto staff as it walks forward. When it sees the figure of Sheila, it opened its mouth and mumbled something unintelligible, and before long an arrow made of flame appear out of thin air and flew toward Sheila.
The Boss of the Second Floor is a Goblin Shaman.
