Chapter 81 - Unbreakable

I entered the shop, and saw variety of weapons inside. I quickly looked for gauntlets, and saw that there were only a few gauntlets available that I can choose from.

Before I can go there, someone was already going to my direction. It was a girl, she must be the little girl's sister. The girl looked like a 12 year old child. She has little bit of sweat and was holding a little hammer while walking at me.

"Hello young sir, what kind of weapon are you looking for?" The girl said when she arrived in front of me.

"I'm currently looking for a pair of gauntlets." I answered.

"Follow me sir. This is where we keep all our gauntlets." She said while showing me the gauntlets I had seen before.

There were three gauntlets available in the shelf that the girl was showing. The first one has the same level as my current gauntlet so it's a no. The next one was a level 200 gauntlet which was also obviously a no since I'm already level 245. The last one was a level 50 gauntlet so it's a no too.

"Are there other gauntlets available than this three?" I asked since I don't like any of the gauntlets shown.

"Umm... there are sir but we don't have any responsibilities when something happens to you. Do you agree sir?" She asked.

"Yes." I said while she nodded, and started to walk deeper into the shop. I followed her from behind, and I saw stairs going down. We went down, and what I saw downstairs was amazing.

There was another section of weapons here but I can see rusty, dusty, and broken weapons inside.

"This is a place in which there are full of useless weapons inside but don't worry since what I'm gonna show you are not these weapons." She said while continuing to walk deeper.

I nodded and quietly followed her. After a few minutes of walking, we arrived at the section which has four weapons inside that has a eerie feeling around them.

'Those must be cursed weapons!' Akira said.

'Oh so you're telling me that the girl wants me to use a cursed weapon? Won't that just burden me instead of helping me.' I said.

'Don't worry since curse weapons are powerful weapons when used but in exchanged there will be a debuff in using it.' Akira explained.

'Then I shouldn't bother using it, and besides I have Blite who can maybe transform into a gauntlet when his Shape Shift skill levels up.' I replied.

'How about looking at the cursed weapons first before saying you won't use them? After checking the curse weapons, and thinking it's still useless then I won't stop you from not buying one.' Akira said.

'Fine.' I replied, and ended our conversation.

"Young sir, these weapons are called cursed weapons. These are weapons that'll give you extreme power but at the cost of an extreme debuff." The little girl explained.

"Is these kinds of weapons not illegal? And how can you make these kinds of weapons?" I asked curiously while looking at the different curse weapons.

"They're not illegal sir and we don't actually create these kinds of weapons. We just bought these weapons from others for us to research." The girl answered.

"So how can one make a curse weapon then?" I asked.

"It's created by different situations but the most common situation is when the blacksmith creating the weapon has thoughts full of hate, or the like while doing the weapon." She explains.

I nodded while looking at the cursed weapons displayed at the shelf. The weapons inside were a sword, a dagger, a small hammer, and a pair of gauntlets.

I specifically looked at the gauntlets. It was completely black, and has cracks all over it.

"The pair of gauntlets looks like it is about to be destroyed. Shouldn't you guys fix it?" I asked.

"We already tried fixing it but the look didn't change, and we even tried the opposite since it's not being fixed. The result was shocking since it was not even destroyed by a bit even after we hammered it multiple of times." The girl answered.

After hearing the answer, I appraised the gauntlets to see if it's worth buying.

0/100

______________________________________________

The weapon was great but the debuff was actually two which are; me being unable to equip other weapons, and me having uncontrollable rage to people who are unfaithful.

If I think about it carefully, I think the weapon gives me more disadvantages than the advantages I will get from equipping it.

'Akira, I think the curse weapon here ain't good since it's has a strict debuff when equipping it.' I said to let Akira give some opinions.

'Hmm, I think it'll still be alright to equip it. The problem here is not the debuff about being unable to equip other weapons but instead the other one. The debuff having uncontrollable rage when meeting someone unfaithful is a bit much but thankfully I have a skill that can help you remove all your emotions. So would you want the weapon?' Akira said.

'Fine but I think my emotions being removed is kind of weird. Does this mean I won't feel happy, sad, or angry anymore?' I asked.

'Yes, but don't worry since you can turn this skill on and off like your Pain Immunity skill. You should just turn the skill on when you feel the debuff kicking in.' Akira suggested.

'Oh that's great! Sometimes, I also need these emotions because they can be my driving force when I want to achieve something." I said while feeling relieved hearing Akira said that.

I ended our conversation, and instead checked the skill that the weapon has.

______________________________________________

??? Summon (Level MAX):

Summon ??? to help you in battles but ??? has the ability to not follow your commands. The stats of ??? will be 70% of the summoner's power.

??? can only be summoned once a day, and ??? will only return if ??? wants to do so or ??? died.

______________________________________________

So in short, the thing that I can summon will be uncontrollable. This might be hard but I can accept that since I'm pretty sure I can beat my own summon if I want to.

'Give me the skill Akira before I buy the gauntlets.' I said after forgetting to get the skill.

'Here.' He simply said, and a notification was soon heard.

Ding!

You learned Emotion Regulation (Level MAX)!

Once I heard the notification, I checked it up.

______________________________________________

Emotion Regulation (Level MAX):

Can control or completely erase one's emotion. Can be activated anytime or by putting a condition to turn the skill on.

Condition to activate: None

______________________________________________

So I can set a condition to let the skill automatically turn on. Since that's the case, I want to let this skill turn on when I feel extreme emotions.

"How much is this pair of gauntlets?" I asked after I was done setting up my skills.

"The pair of gauntlets is cheap, and only comes with the price of 10 purple banknotes." She said.

"Why is it so cheap? The gauntlets are actually strong." I said.

"Well no one wants to buy a curse weapon, and only a few people actually uses gauntlets as there weapons. So, you'll buy the gauntlets, sir?" The girl said while taking the gauntlets out. I simply nodded to confirm her question.

"Is it okay to touch the gauntlets barehanded? Won't the curse activate?" I asked seeing her touch the gauntlets.

"Some curse weapons are like that but this one is not." She said while I followed her. We're going back to the first floor to make the transaction complete.

I followed her quietly until we arrived at the first floor. We walked towards the counter where I will pay for the gauntlets.

"Should I pack the gauntlets sir or are you going to equip it now?" She asked.

"Just pack it for now." I said, and she then started to put the gauntlets inside a bag.

"Here you go sir." She said while smiling at me after she finished packing the gauntlets up.

"Thank you." I replied, and then took off to go back to the Guild.

I don't plan to wear the gauntlets yet because I want to wear the gauntlets in a secluded place. I ran fast so that I can take my lunch at the Guild before my training with the twin sisters starts.

A few minutes passed, and I have arrived at the Guild. I quickly entered and made my way towards the canteen. It was already 12:30 so I should hurry up so that I can make it to our training.
