Chapter 70: The Weapon

The treasure box showed a timer at the top of it. Meaning, he would need at least 40 seconds to open the treasure chest. The system even told him that while doing it, he shouldn't move away from his place with his hand on the top of the treasure chest, else the treasure will be gone.

He really wanna punch that god of Gnome at this moment. In all times that this needs to happen, why now?!

Although he knew he had some resistance to ice and fire, that didn't mean his resistance was enough to keep him alive! Add up the fact that this 4-headed turtle could use different elements, and had some human-like intelligence.

He tried to lower his presence but even how much he wanted to lower his presence so that the monster won't see him. The fact that the treasure chest was making, as if saying, 'Hello there monster. Me and your prey were here all along, come and get us'. Because of the pressure and the lights the treasure box brought out made him curse at the system and god of gnome.

He could feel it, the 4 headed turtles were looking in his direction. He could even feel its movement, although it was slow, it's heavy steps were too obvious to ignore.

Why the heck did he decide to show his real gender at that moment? Ah, but then it was so d.mn annoying just thinking how these people keep on insisting that he is a female. So that was also normal.

The shaking of the ground and the raising of the temperature, along with some of its pressing wind pressure, made Reigan's heart beats wildly.

If he was asked if he regretted it, he did. He regrets it a lot.

30 seconds left, the timer in front of him made him feel that it was taking so long when in fact it was just a few seconds.

"D.mn it, D.mn it. It just said I shouldn't move away from my place, but it didn't mean I couldn't do something to at least protect myself!"

Reigan checked his storage and saw the inconspicuous shield of nothingness inside of it. Although he had no idea what it used, he was sure this would help him live at least!

He took out the shield that was as small as his arm.

The stats were amazing, but he had no mana!

Why the heck did his soul and spirit have to be damaged. His mana was also sealed because of it. Why the heck do these things happen to him?

He felt despair eating his flesh as he glanced at the incoming attack. Reigan shook his head. This is not the time to be depressed. He's just gonna use the Shield of Nothingness, whatever the result. It didn't matter.

It is not as if someone will be worried about him, nor care if he is dead or alive.

He was alone here, so what's the point?

Reigan raised the shield and felt the strong pressure on the other side of it almost pushing him away from his original position. Even so, it was like that, he was not harmed a bit. Only feeling his arm turning numb.

The time kept on clicking on the chest.

15… 14… 13… 12… 11… 10…

The pressure was gone, making Reigan feel a bit relaxed. When his eyes darted on the 4-headed creature, he saw that the three heads were starting to create a meld elemental with their breath.

Sh!t Sh!t Sh!t!

Reigan felt the world would turn to shambles. If this chest was not worth it, and he kept his life intact, he was gonna hunt that god of Gnome and kill him. If he dies because of it, he is still going to hunt those gods and kill them!

How could they treat handsome people like him in this way?! It was because of them that a handsome man will be lost in the world!

Reigan watched the spherical element burst in his direction.

Was he going to die?

The element was going to him as the clock tick. The next moment was that he felt stifled. Not because he was shot, but because a green being suddenly took him away as the place where he was a while ago was engulfed by a raging fire.

His weapon! Ah!

All his hard work and waiting were gone.

"You're crying because I saved you. Heh, Lil guy." The voice of a woman was heard from the being who snatched things away from him.

Reigan gazed toward the person who grabbed him. No, she was not a person but a beautiful giant. With her skin color green, pointed ears that could be seen between her glaring red hair.

She had a beautiful face. A pair of fierce eyes, that scratch one heart and long eyelashes. Her pointy nose just fits perfectly with her vibrant purple lips.

She was wearing mismatched armor and an ax behind her, but her clothes didn't ruin her beauty.

The beautiful orc grinned at Reigan, then winked while putting him down. "Am I beautiful?"

Reigan nodded his head, forgetting what he was thinking a moment ago. "Very."

When his feet touched the ground. Reigan was still staring at the beautiful orc. She was indeed a beauty, if not for her height. "Thanks for the compliment, but next time ya should be careful. That 4 headed beast is called Spira elemento. It is one of the strongest beasts. An S-class to be exact.

It's just that, normally, this beast doesn't attack except if they are harmed--- Wait, how come it only had 3 heads? You killed the water head."

Water head? "Oh, yeah yeah."

"Tsk. tsk, tsk. No wonder the beast is mad. That thing likes to take revenge on the people who kill them. But doncha worry, I am strong." The female orc said. After that, the female face turned serious. She grabbed her ax, twirled it, and then threw it at the Spira Elemento.

"Wait-" Reigan looked at his hand, and noticed a tattoo on his wrist. He didn't remember putting on a tattoo, but that didn't matter at this moment. But that was not the point.

He couldn't allow a girl to protect him.

It was not that he was looking down on her but rather, it was not according to his taste to just sit back and be protected.

Reigan then felt his wrist turn hot. The moment he looked at it, his hand was holding a sharp tonfa. On its peak was a sharp spade, that could be controlled with a thought.

"Cool!" Reigan mumbled and glanced at the Spira Elemento, grinning. "Let's do this!"
