CHAPTER 169: CHAPTER 169 SPOILS OF WAR

The once-glorious Imperial Palace now appeared somewhat dilapidated.

Kreya trotted over on horseback toward Kane, who was sitting on the ground.

"That series of punches earlier was pretty cool."

The horse stopped, and Kreya sat down beside Kane, pouring healing particles she had acquired from Meizike around them both.

Red particles circled around them, slowly integrating into their bodies, repairing their wounds, swiftly healing some minor surface scratches.

As for Meizike, he was beside Longbei, precisely controlling the healing particles to restore Longbei’s injuries.

This time in the battle with the leader, Longbei took a continuous beating, especially the Skeleton Monarch’s final vengeful blow was particularly harsh on him.

"Are you alright, Kane?" Lilulu fluttered her colorful wings as she flew over to Kane and Kreya.

She circled around them a few times to ensure nothing serious had happened and then stopped in front of Kane.

Her eyes sparkled like stars, and her round, innocent eyes fixed intently on Kane: "Kane, um..."

Seeing her expression, Kane helplessly placed his hand on his forehead: "Go ahead, what is it you want me to make for you now?"

"Hehe..." Lilulu twisted her index fingers against her chest: "I want that mechanical outfit."

Then she suddenly adopted a boxing pose and began punching the air vigorously.

"Kane looked so cool just now, Lilulu wants to try too."

Kane, resigned, extended his hand, constructing an exoskeleton armor half a meter tall in front of her: "But it can only operate within two meters of me."

Since Lilulu could clearly sense Kane’s construction, Kane didn’t project it directly onto Lilulu’s body but allowed her to enter it herself.

Lilulu nodded joyfully and immediately dashed into the exoskeleton armor, which Kane then controlled to fit snugly against her body.

"Woohoo! Lilulu looks so cool!"

Kane and Kreya smiled as they watched Lilulu jump and dance around them.

At this moment, Longbei and Meizike also approached them.

Once there, Longbei continuously patted Kane on the shoulder: "Good buddy, your robot looks awesome, when did you hide such a skill?"

Kane rolled his eyes and swatted away Longbei’s hand: "I often keep a trick up my sleeve, don’t I?"

"Haha, indeed."

Then, everyone gathered beside the ashes of the Skeleton Monarch, and Kane crouched down, sifting through the ground’s ashes to reveal five magic items.

Kane first picked up his main goal for coming to this dungeon, the rune key.

[Rune Leading to the Secret Passage]

[Key]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: None]

[Introduction: A legendary warrior, Aiklonen has a treasury, and three rune keys are needed to open it. This is one of them.]

[Secret Intelligence Department: Once you gather the three runes, a brand new dungeon will open, the third one is in the Silver Dungeon [Demon Valley].]

This is exactly what he was looking for, the key obtained early during the first stage of clearing [Arena of Crystals].

Kreya, standing beside him, instantly recognized the item: "Isn’t this the one you repaired in front of me before? Is this one of the three keys?"

Hearing Kreya’s words, Kane nodded.

Kreya immediately became somewhat excited.

"What’s the matter? What about this thing?"

Longbei hastily asked from the side, and Lilulu, who was having fun, stopped in front of them, face full of curiosity.

Kane took out another key from his space equipment and waved the two keys in front of Longbei.

Then he explained to Longbei who didn’t know: "There are three rune keys like this, collect them all and you can open a brand new dungeon, and you all have the chance to become new Mist Warriors."

"Means we’re just one short?"

"Yes, and that is our next target."

After hearing Kane’s explanation, everyone’s expressions were a bit excited.

However, that’s fine, since their experiences over this period broadened their horizons, these events aren’t enough to make them overly excited.

Kane placed the rune key back into his space equipment and then picked up the remaining four magic items for appraisal.

First, he picked up a crown, directly from the Skeleton Monarch’s head.

[Antarik’s Crown]

[Crown]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Moderately enhance magic recovery speed]

[Skill: Illusory Journey] (Once a day, upon using the skill, the body enters a different space, freeing movement for 10 seconds, appearing back at your current location when time runs out or upon voluntary exit.)

[Introduction: Corrupt and angry tyrant, the king of the Glory of Mountains nation, deceased in three generations. He knew clearly how many wanted to take his life, so he crafted this crown to avoid assassination.]

Top quality, truly top-quality equipment, extremely suitable for Kane, both in attributes and skills.

After sharing the equipment’s attributes with everyone, he claimed it for himself.

He immediately wore the crown on his head, savoring the magic recovery speed provided by the equipment, it was very good.

On to the next item.

[Eternal Protection]

[Arm Armor]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Slightly increase physical defense]

[Skill: Shield of Immortality] (Wearing this equipment will drape the body in an invisible shield, capable of blocking one fatal attack. After destruction, it needs 7 days to recharge.)

[Introduction: An heirloom of the Antarik royal family, saving the lives of royal family members multiple times.]

After Kane informed everyone of this equipment’s attributes and skills, it was decided to be entrusted to Meizike.

With this equipment, Meizike’s survival likelihood considerably improved, essentially making it unlikely for him to be fatally wounded during team combat.

Meizike also wouldn’t refuse such equipment and accepted it before wearing it on his arm.

A faintly green shield appeared around him, subsequently becoming hidden.

The remaining two items, a magic accessory, and a large amount of magic materials.

Kane picked up the magic accessory; it was a very simple bracelet, lacking any embellishment.

[Powerful Magic Ring]

[Jewelry]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Slightly increase magic damage]

[Skill: Powerful Magic] (Twice a week, using the skill strengthens the next magic attack.)

[Introduction: A favored magic accessory among mages, those with the means would equip themselves with one.]

This equipment didn’t require much explanation, as Lilulu was the only mage in the team.

Yet the item’s appearance posed some difficulty, how would Lilulu wear it?

He handed the jewelry over to Lilulu.

Lilulu picked up the bracelet and tapped it with her magic staff.

The bracelet then shrank to a size she could wear, putting it on with an delighted expression.

Can such magic exist?
