Opening the Treasure Chest

"The Purgatory Monk Togu!? Main quest changed?"

It's not just Cas.

Even Sophia, who came from a prestigious family, had never heard of such an 'absurd' thing... directly changing the main storyline and even increasing the difficulty.

"Let's go to the Clown House and wait. We'll explain the details when the clown returns."

"Alright... Brother Allen! From now on, you will be in charge of leading the team."

Cas decisively transferred the 'captain' title to Han Dong.

After all, he knew nothing about the specifics of what had happened... During this time, he worked with Sophia to complete some side stories involving the Joker.

The Main Plot has changed, and these clues have become less useful.

The Clown House, located at the end of the ' Vanishing Street ', is a villa painted with seven colors.

Han Dong pulled out a Red Balloon from his waist and inserted it into the keyhole!

The seal left on the door was broken on its own, and the group successfully entered the Joker's lair.

If the story were to unfold as it normally would, the team members, having gathered enough clues, would engage in a final battle with the Joker here... but the situation takes a completely different turn.

This Clown House will become everyone's last stronghold.

Before the clown returns, Han Dong must make some preparations... preparations for the possible complete fall of Derry Town.

"Brother Koslin, can you make heat-resistant equipment?"

"If we use materials from this world, Sophia must cooperate with me to embed their [Library] arrays during the forging process, including some fire-resistant or cold-resistant magic."

"Then let's have Bella take you to the town's ironworks and make as much heat-resistant equipment as possible, ideally one for each of us."

"OK!"

There's no time to lose.

The parasite Bella immediately led Koslin and Sophia away.

"The clown can tear open three layers of iron doors with his bare hands, but this suddenly appearing Purgatory Monk is even more powerful... Cas, do you have Trump Card? Otherwise, it would be quite dangerous for you to fight this kind of being in close combat."

When they were alone, Han Dong wanted Cas to open up to him.

"Yes... but we'll have to wait for the clown to return and explain the situation of the [Purgatory Monk] in detail."

If the target is related to 'hell,' we Crusaders can, to some extent, have Attribute Restraint... I should be able to barely fight them head-on."

"Okay, that's good."

Han Dong took out the "Sleep Potion" he had prepared beforehand.

"Cas, you will be the only person besides the Joker who can fight the [Purgatory Monk] in close combat... Go and rest! Make sure you are in top condition."

"OK."

Cas placed a hand on Han Dong's shoulder.

"If we manage to leave alive this time, it's my treat! I'll treat everyone to a Knight-class feast on the Third Floor... If something happens to me, please continue to take care of Fia, Brother Allen. Don't find her troublesome. In terms of talent, she's a rare gifted Priest Apprentice. Once she grows into a knight, she'll be a top-notch healer."

Who knew?

Han Dong did not respond at all.

Instead, he used a bit of the Ghoul's power and punched Cas in the chest.

Ache!

Cas covered his chest muscles, looking puzzled.

"Don't set a flag for yourself! If the main storyline doesn't change, we might suffer casualties! After all, the Joker has completely taken control of [Derry Town]... But it's different now. Even if this Purgatory Monk is stronger than the Joker, this is also his first time here."

Besides, we have the Joker as a powerful ally.

If you can't hold on any longer and have to come back, don't push yourself! Your age has been suppressed to 14, and your physical strength and power are nowhere near what they were in your prime. You must be mindful of this.

Hearing how much Han Dong cared about him.

Cas laughed heartily, "Haha, I know! I'll try my best not to push myself too hard... I'm going to sleep now."

"Call..."

My teammates are settled in.

Han Dong took a deep breath and headed to the top floor of the Clown House.

An ancient book bearing the name ' Derry Town ' and a treasure chest covered in a light blue halo appeared before Han Dong.

Put the books away safely.

Han Dong rubbed his hands together, preparing to open the treasure chest... A piece of excellent equipment that matches one's own attributes can greatly enhance one's strength.

Click!

When the latch clicked, Han Dong also became excited.

The equipment here can be worth thousands of Copper Coin, which is fundamentally different from high-quality items.

The moment the treasure chest is opened.

It even exudes a refreshing, watery sensation.

"This is!"

A ring with a coral setting and inlaid with aquamarine crystal floats in the center of a treasure chest filled with water.

The Destiny System also provides relevant attributes the moment the treasure chest is opened.

Congratulations on obtaining the accessory "Coral Seal" (Blue)

Destiny Gear - "Coral Seal"

Type: Ring

Quality: Excellent

Basic attributes: Slightly increases control over water magic, and moderately increases magic resistance.

Equipment effects:

"Sea Mark" (Active Skill) - Allows you to brand an ocean mark onto any weapon (requires a moderate amount of energy).

The mark lasts for half an hour, and the effect varies depending on the type of weapon.

①. Swords, axes, and spears (blades): Inflict "water attribute" damage on the weapon, and have a certain probability of triggering "Tidal Surge" when attacking.

②. Club, Hammer, and Shield (Blunt): Inflicts "Water Attribute" damage on the weapon, and has a certain probability of triggering "Turtle Shell" when attacking.

③. Magical Items: Reduce the casting time of water magic, and have a certain probability of triggering "Double Casting" when casting.

.

Note: An imprint can only be applied once during its duration.

"Ocean Shield" (Passive Skill) - When attacked, the ring will automatically generate an ocean shield to reduce the damage received by the main body.

(①. This shield has high resistance to water or Fire Magic, and can reduce damage by up to 30%, and other sources of damage by up to 15%.)

②. The Ocean Shield is not permanent; it will automatically deactivate after absorbing a certain amount of damage. It can be maintained by consuming your own energy.
