The Devil’s Cage - Chapter 234

Chapter 234

[Hundred Violent Kicks] and [Boots of Modii] .

The screenshot showed the details of the items .

Every small detail regarding their attributes was included .

[Name: Boots of Modii]

[Type: Armor]

[Rarity: Rare]

[Attack: Common]

[Defense: Strong]

[Attributes: Modii Sprint, Modii Jump]

[Effects: None]

[Prerequisites: None]

[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]

[Remark: Modii is not the fastest, but he runs the longest! Modii is not the highest jumper, but he always jumps a second time!]

. . .

[Modii Sprint: When you wear the Boots of Modii, -30% Stamina usage while walking, running, and jumping]

[Modii Jump: When activated, after the first jump, you can perform a second one in mid-air by consuming more Stamina, three times per day]

. . .

"Stamina saving? Jumping twice?"

Kieran frowned over the attributes .

Both of them were good . Their attack and defense was higher than his [Iron Flaming Boots], but Kieran’s precious elemental attack would be gone .

It would be bad news if he had to face a sea of formless souls without his flaming kicks .

Although an elemental attack could be compensated for with other methods, such as [Holy Water VIII], it still would be a little lackluster compared to the convenience of the elemental kicks .

Meanwhile, Broker started to promote his items via PMs .

. . .

Monien: How are they?

Monien: [Hundred Violent Kicks] can unleash powerful raging waves of energy to drown your opponent if it reaches its highest rank .

Monien: The [Boots of Modii]’s stamina-saving attribute would also provide you with an extra surprise element during a crucial time .

Monien: The [Modii Jump]’s double jump is an unexpected countermeasure as well .

. . .

Kieran did not reply to Broker’s selling pitch . He just showed the screenshot to Lawless . He believed Lawless would know more about the items, not just the pros Broker had mentioned, but their cons as well .

Lawless’ answer was definitely not disappointing . After a quick glance at the screenshot, he replied .

. . .

Lawless: [Hundred Violent Kicks] could really drown your opponent with just one strike of raging wave energy .

Lawless: But that is when the skill is maxed-out, and the cost to max it out is not something any John Doe could afford!

Lawless: Plus, it has a lethal disadvantage . Whenever the skill is used, the user is immobilized for a while and turned into a shooting target!

Lawless: As far as the [Boots of Modii] are concerned, their attributes are not bad, but they’re only for normal players . For 2567, who is mastering kicking combat, they’re far from enough!

(As Lawless stated all the cons of the items, Broker did not get angry . He just replied in an explanatory tone . )

Monien: Every equipment has its pros and cons, the most important element is the person who uses it!

Monien: I believe 2567 could take advantage of its full potential .

Monien: What do you say?

2567: We are making a deal here, not discussing users’ abilities .

2567: If we are including those though, then I must say that, judging by your reputation, I bet you could sell the [Rose Thorn] and the [Monolith Armor] for 10 times their normal price .

2567: So cut the crap and just give me five times their value .

(Kieran was not fooled by Broker’s praise . When the matter at hand was related to his benefit and rewards, Kieran had a clearer mind than anyone . He did not want to be regretting this move for a year .

The attitude of a stingy guy was something others could easily understand . Lawless praised Kieran’s counter offer and joined in the conversation . )

Lawless: That’s right, Broker! Just cut the crap and pay 2567 five times the items’ value!

Lawless: It’s not much for you anyway!

Lawless: Just another four or five Skill Books with the same value as [Hundred Violent Kicks] will suffice!

Monien: Do you think I’m an idiot?

Lawless: Do you think 2567 and I are?

. . .

The conversation that followed became even fiercer . It went on for 20 more minutes before coming to an end .

Kieran traded the [Rose Thorn] and the [Monolith Armor] for the [Hundred Violent Kicks], the [Boots of Modii] and 10,000 Points .

"What an unpleasant trade this was!" Broker said, sealing the deal .

Meanwhile, Zorl also ended the endless chat that worked as a cover-up .

"It was nice doing business with you! I’ll be looking forward to the next time! Goodbye, everyone!"

Zorl stood up and bid Kieran, Lawless and the others farewell .

However, most of the veterans gave him the cold shoulder, as they knew Kieran had already completed a deal with him .

This made the veterans who had gone there for the [Rose Thorn] and the [Monolith Armor] a little unhappy, but that was to be expected .

Freedom was what all solo veterans thrived for . No one could stop Kieran from trading with whomever he wanted to, even if that was Broker .

Kieran frowned over the scene, not because he felt any empathy for Zorl, but because he was feeling suspicious about Broker’s actions .

It seemed like Broker wanted to take a clear stand against the veterans .

That was a strange move, considering he was a businessman .

"What is he after?"

Kieran was baffled by that question, but that was not the only question he had about Broker .

He also had his doubts about the description of the killers he had provided .

Kieran PMed Lawless .

. . .

2567: What do you think about Broker’s plan?

Lawless: It’s always hard to understand what that guy is saying .

Lawless: It might be true, or it might be false .

Lawless: He might really know where Coll is being held, but he might also be lying about the killers .

Lawless: This might even be a trap set up by Broker and the killers to get rid of you and me!

Lawless: Who knows?

Lawless: One thing is for sure though . He really knows where Coll is being held!

. . .

Kieran read Lawless’ reply and frowned hard . In the end, he sighed .

He could tell that Lawless would definitely go along with the plan to save Coll, even though it had major disadvantages to it .

Broker was taking advantage of Lawless’ weakness .

"That bastard!"

Kieran understood why Lawless disliked Broker so much, as Broker knew Kieran’s weakness as well .

He knew Kieran would not let Lawless take that risk alone . Even if it was just to return the favor, he would definitely follow Lawless . If he didn’t, he would lose sleep over it .

"Seven more hours left!" Kieran mumbled to himself .

There was immense danger looming around the corner, and the only way to overcome it was by getting stronger .

Coincidentally, Kieran’s single player dungeon cooldown had been reset .

According to the rules, no matter how much time he spent inside a dungeon, it would only equal to one hour in real life .

Kieran still had sufficient time to clear a dungeon . It was just that…

Would one single player dungeon be enough?
