Besides that, they had to watch out for all kinds of hidden monsters, as well as Treasure Chest Monsters that lurked inside chests specifically to ambush players.
If they were careless, players would not float in midair like these houses. Once they fell, they would be smashed to pieces.
After half a day of traveling, the group finally arrived before the inverted castle.
They walked along a path formed from castle walls, which was no different from an ordinary road.
Here, Tsukikawa Shu finally put down Yui Hama, whose face had remained flushed the entire time.
Then, from afar, Tsukikawa Shu's eyes lit up again.
At the entrance of that pitch-black inverted castle sat a treasure chest glowing with a faint purple light. It was an exceptionally rare Epic Grade treasure chest.
Moreover, when Tsukikawa Shu and the others drew closer, they discovered that the chest was neither guarded by monsters nor protected by traps. It had simply been placed there like a stone.
"There's just a treasure chest sitting right at the entrance?"
Even Hiratsuka Shizuka found such luck hard to believe.
An Epic Treasure Chest had been placed in the most conspicuous spot at the entrance, and there were no monsters guarding it whatsoever.
Never try to reason with a Child of Fortune.
Tsukikawa Shu opened the chest. Purple light flashed, followed by a system notification:
[You have opened an Epic Treasure Chest] [You have obtained weapon: Wind Chaser] [Wind Chaser] [Quality: Epic] [Weapon Type: Sniper Rifle] [Compatible Class: Gunner] [Weapon Skill: Storm's Fury] [Obtain a special bullet. Upon firing, it gains a 1000% attack power bonus, possesses extremely high penetration and destructive power, and explodes upon hitting the target, dealing area-of-effect damage.]
"It's even a weapon. That's pretty rare." Even Tsukikawa Shu was somewhat surprised.
