"Limit Break?" I looked at the stone in my hand for a few seconds before looking around to see if I could find more, but this seemed to be the only one.
"Faith that is?" Adel walked up to me. She always seemed to be first after me when it came to treasure. Maybe she had a shiny obsession too?
"It is a Limit Break Stone. There only seems to be one, so to be on the safe side, I will use it first. Then we can report to the others. I am not sure if this is a rare drop or not but we will see what happens." I was kinda being selfish, but with everything that happened, I needed as much strength as possible. While I had Diablo, this was only when he was around. What if something big happens like in my dreams? If war really does break out and it has something to do with that man. Then The enemy will definitely become very strong. I not only want to protect my family but everyone else around me.
"Don't worry, if anything happens, I will be here." Adel said as she once again got into battle mode. I chuckled and closed my eyes, and took a deep breath. I then hit the yes button.
[Limit Breaks Slots Available 3/3]
[By consuming this Limit Break Stone you will take up one Limit Break Slot.]
[Limit Break: Total Domination]
[Would you like to consume?]
As soon as I hit the yes button, another notification suddenly popped up in front of me.
[Limit Break Abilities are now available and can be seen in the status window.]
Sure enough, as soon as I opened my status window, I had a new section above my skills. "Let's see…. Appraisal!"
"I see…." I pursed my lips while reading the description.
"So?" Adel spoke up while giving me a questioning gaze.
"I got a limit break called: Total Domination. Basically, it is an instant movement skill that raises my attack power by one thousand times its original value. For each strike I make on my opponent, it will build up the final attack, which is supposed to be an overhead strike. This strike is basically every attack I make on the target built up into a single attack that is infused with gravity. The only downside is that it puts a huge burden on the body, making it a skill you only want to use when you absolutely have to. I have no real way of testing it out unless I go and fight a strong monster someplace." I guess this was kind of a final trump card that should only be used when necessary. But I still wished to test it, not now, but at a later time. "Ah, also, It seems we can only have three of them at any given time. I am not sure what happens when you reach your max amount of limit breaks."
"Well, when we get back, we will try to test it out on a dummy or something that can withstand such attacks. We will need to make sure it is in a secure environment where you will not come under attack from outside sources in case something goes wrong." Adel's words made sense. It would be bad to just run out and fight some random monster to test the skill out without knowing its ins and outs.
"Alright, let's do that. For now, let's gather all the stones here. There seems to be plenty of system and skill stones. Save them and give them to your father. I am sure he will use them wisely." I already had enough for my family, so I was not worried about skill stones and such. And while I could get more skills, I would rather beef up the kingdom's forces first.
"Boss! This one is yours! We can't lift it." I turned to see a sword sticking in the ground. Steven was pulling it to the point that his face was turning red. It was not a big sword by any means. It was a normal sword like the one I was used to using. It had a black hilt with a black blade, only the guard was a dark shade of red. I walked over and looked it over. "Appraisal!"
[Athena's Promise]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Sword Spirit Athena]
[Attack Power: 30000]
[Defense: 10000]
[Growth Item]
"Hmmm…" I reached out and gripped the handle. As I did, I felt a warmth coming from the sword that made it seem like I had wielded it forever. I pulled on it, and the sword pulled out of the ground effortlessly. [You have been deemed worthy. I accept you as my Master….] "Huh?"
I was confused when I heard the voice in my head. "Is this the sword spirit?" I pursed my lips and held the sword up. It reflected the dim lighting of the room well. But after a few swings and trying to say hello to it in my mind, I got no reply.
"How is it?" Sophie asked as she stared at the sword with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
"It's a good sword." I replied. It truly is a good sword. It felt like an extension of my own body. I was not sure what a Growth Item was, but I guess I will figure it out in time. Other than that, this was a pretty amazing sword.
"You are so lucky. I tried picking it up too, but it wouldn't budge!" Sophie whined. During this trip, she has opened up a lot more. She was still quiet, but she let her true feelings out naturally now. It was a good sign for her.
"Hehe… There are a lot of good weapons here. Let's see if we can find you something suitable." With this, I helped begin dishing out items. The last boss dropped a lot of items, and when I say a lot, I mean it. There are a ton of items here. Complete sets of armor, weapons, potions, even I got a full set of leather armor. I did not like metal armor, so I went with something lighter as it was easier to move in. But the boys dived right into the plate armor. All leftovers were stashed in my inventory to give to the kingdom. The only thing left now was to destroy the dungeon core.
