Chapter 98: 92. Versatile weapon & The trap
Dexter turned to see a bald monk wearing a white combat outfit behind him.
"Oh... uhhh..." Dexter put a finger on his chin as he tried to remember the monks name.
"It's Lin Bai. How can you forget?" The monk furrowed his brows.
"Oh, by being chased by giant monsters who want to tear me apart." Dexter shrugged.
"Oh, I see. My name will escape your mind the moment you are in danger." Lin Bai nodded.
"So what are you looking for?" Lin Bai walked to Dexter's side.
"Well, my body isn't strong enough to withstand an attack from a particular monster so I was thinking if I could get some kind of armour for defence." Dexter said while grabbing orb after orb.
"Hm. I'm just looking for a new weapon, mine got destroyed in a fight." Lin Bai said with a smile and Dexter chuckled at his behavior.
"You're very funny." Dexter said.
"Eh? You think I'm a joke?" Lin Bai frowned.
"No, no, no. Its just that a lot has happened in the world and you can still smile and talk normally with others." Dexter said with a bitter smile.
"Well, the world isn't completely destroyed. Appreciate the things that are still here while you can." Lin Bai said while closing his eyes and Dexter walked over to the edge of the shelf.
"Yo. I'm going to the weapon section. Later." Lin Bai waved as he walked away.
Dexter sighed as he focused on what he was doing at that moment.
'Most of these armours have a significant boost in strength but they restrict movement. What type of armour did Leo get? It wasn't thick, it was convinient and simple.' Dexter continued to walk around until he saw a black orb on a pedestal which people around seemed to ignore and he walked towards it.
'Why is this one being ignored?' Dexter thought as he approached the pedestal and held the crystal ball in his hand to check the details.
[Blackthorn essence: Essence extracted from the blackthorn planet. It can morph into any form, be it solid, liquid, or gas.
This can be stronger with the more spirit energy used to weird it.]
[Cost: 28,000 Heaven tower points.]
'Holy shit! 28k points!!' Dexter's eyes were wide open as he saw the cost.
He then read the description and nodded to himself as he thought it was worthy. It wasn't a specific weapon that can do a specific thing.
The black essence was versatile and would be a great accomplice for him.
'On top of the fact that I can use it flexibly it is also Unranked. But I won't be able to show any of its potential at a low level because of spirit energy.' Dexter sighed.
'I'll get it anyway.' Dexter thought with a shrug as he pressed the buy button and he left the area to the general orb where he would be able to create anything of his choice.
He walked up to the large white orb and he then put a hand on his chin as he wondered what kind of trap would he best for the vampire hunter.
'He has a barrier ability and an item that restricts my vampire abilities. I need something that can bind him completely.' Dexter began to think hard about what he could possibly use to catch the hunter.
'He is very careful and skilled. I need something that he won't be able to dodge or cut through.' Dexter put a hand on his chin as he thought hard.
He sighed after a couple of minutes thinking.
'At the end, all I can come up with are clamp traps and rope traps.'
'I can do something with this, how about an auraless clamp trap. Then that'll buy time for the rope trap to bind him.'
'I'll make both able to turn invisible. This way, it'll be unexpected.' Dexter finally smiled as he touched the large orb and began to imagine his trap in his mind and all its functions.
...
More than two minutes passed and the people around wondered what Dexter was doing there for so long.
"Is he alright?"
"What's he doing there? Doesn't he knows that creating things is more pricey than buying."
"Plus, what could he be describing that's taking him so long."
Another minute passed and Dexter finally opened his eyes with a smile.
In his hand, two items appeared.
One was a steel jaw trap which was two times the size of a humans head.
[Ground clutch steel jaw trap (Aboriginal ranked item)]
[Description: This trap has a firm grip with the ground, making it impossible for a creature lower than level 21 to escape from its clutches.
Special ability: Invisibility, the one who set the trap can command it to become invisible with their mind or words.]
[Cost: 1500 heaven tower points.]
Dexter nodded at the first item. He was satisfied with the function of the first trap and he decided on what to do already.
He glanced over at the second item in his hand which was a long, metallic, silver rope.
[Hunter bind (Aboriginal ranked item)]
[Description: The rope can move and wrap its opponent as if it were alive and is very durable to physical attacks.
Special ability: Invisibility; the bind will be unable to be seen except for the person who holds it.]
[Cost: 3500 heaven tower points.]
"Phew." Dexter breathed out.
'I couldn't even make it a seventh class, unless the prices would be astronomical.' Dexter thought as the items in his hand vanished and appeared in his spirit.
"Huh? You again?" Dexter turned around to see a handsome boy with long black hair tied up in a pony tail.
He wore a blue robe with long collars and he had a thin sword which was in a sheath on his waist.
"Yuan?" Dexter raised his brows as he walked over but Yuan pulled out his sword in front of everyone and pointed it towards Dexter.
Dexter only sighed at the young man as he walked away, from him.
"Don't walk away. We still have a score to settle." Yuan charged at Dexter and Dexter vanished as soon as the blade was close to his face.
Dexter suddenly summoned a black spear in his hand and as Yuan's blade got closer, Dexter vanished without a trace, shocking both Yuan and the rest of the people who were watching.
...
'That guy seriously doesn't know when to stop.' Dexter thought, appearing under the stairs on the floor below.
He quickly left Heaven's tower to head back to the real world where he can fight life threatening creatures
