Chapter 40 Void Cloak
At this point, Hikaru still hadn\'t calmed down when he saw all the notifications from the system. He wanted to cry, but he couldn\'t.
Rika, what the hell is going on? Doesn\'t the system only announce the first 3 people to defeat the hidden boss? What the hell is the Golden Boss? "
[Master, there is only one Golden Boss in this event. The undead monster you just killed is it.]
Rika was also confused. She didn\'t know why the Hidden Boss they were going to defeat turned into a Golden Boss. However, Rika suddenly realized why the Golden Boss appeared.
[Master, I think you should see Anno\'s information.]
"Anno?"
Hikaru immediately used the skill "Scrutiny" to view Anno\'s information.
…
Name: Anno-princess
Race: Dark Elf
Level: 12
Agility: 500
Strength: 200
Intelligence: 1,700
Skills: Growth, double strength, chant.... ,
Description: Anno is a dark elf, but because she was taught by the sage Nasisa, most of her skills are support-type skills. However, Anno has a power that she isn\'t aware of, which is [The blessing of the goddess of luck]. Thanks to this hidden power, Anno is constantly lucky and is never threatened by any danger.
…
Hikaru: "..."
Hikaru immediately realized why the Hidden Boss became the Golden Boss. That\'s not a hidden power, that\'s a cheat.
He was silent for a while, then took a sip of water to calm his mind. Hikaru let out a sigh. He felt that this world was harsh. He really just wanted to level up quietly, and not always be drawn into trouble.
Besides, Hikaru felt that his possession of an SSS Class skill was nothing special after meeting Sherwin, Anno, and Rhon.
Sherwin owns a UR Talent, but he seems to be a protagonist, so he is always lucky. Sherwin seemed to have plot Armor like the main characters in novels.
Rhon probably possesses the ability to revive. Each time he revives, he becomes stronger, and he is almost immortal.
Anno is blessed by the goddess of luck. No, to be more precise, it was her Golden Finger, a cheat in this world.
What about his SSS skills? He still had to farm and put himself in danger to find resources and be able to use them. As for the others...
Hikaru tried not to think about this anymore. The more he thought about it, the more painful he felt. It turns out that in this world, anyone could be the main character except for him.
[Ding! Congratulations on being the only one to defeat the Golden Boss. You have received a Golden Chest from the System.]
[Ding! You have received a Golden Chest. Do you want to open it or not?]
Hikaru sighed and replied: "Yes!"
[Ding! You have received an equipment card and a function card.]
"Equipment card?" Hikaru seemed to be interested in the equipment card because he lacked equipment compared to Sherwin. Looking at Sherwin wearing all that high-class equipment, someone like Hikaru, who possessed an SSS level evolution skill, felt humiliated.
…
Name: Void cloak
Type: Legendary
Description 1: The Void cloak stays with the owner forever. After every level increase of 10 levels, the Void cloak will unlock a new function.
Description 2: The Void cloak will create a [Void] effect on the user, helping him or her to hide their identity, and no one can peek at their information. (The person trying to discern your information must not have a skill higher than the SSR level).
Description 3: When wearing the Void cloak, if the wearer takes damage, the damage will be absorbed (maximum 60 second damage absorption time). The player can then use the damage received to attack as a skill. The damage from the attack will not be higher than 100% of the Void cloak\'s owner\'s total stats. (Note: The level of the person who damaged the owner should not be 10 levels above him.)
Description 4: The owner of the Void cloak can meet another person by communicating with their consciousness. The level of the person you can meet should not be 20 levels higher than yours.
…
After reading the descriptions, Hikaru felt that the Void cloak was too powerful. Suddenly, Hikaru\'s feelings of inferiority towards Sherwin disappeared. He immediately used the Maximum Evolution skill on the Void cloak , when suddenly, a message popped up.
[Ding! Because the Void Cloak is not a common item, it cannot be evolved using the M.E skill.]
"It can\'t evolve?" Hikaru was a little disappointed. However, the current Void cloak was enough to help him a lot for now.
Right after Hikaru used the Void cloak equipment card, a cloak wrapped around his body, revealing only his eyes. Hikaru looked at himself in the mirror. He only saw his face. His whole body was like infinite space with countless planets, nebulae, galaxies, etc. It was as if his body was made from space.
Hikaru looked at himself in the mirror and felt really cool. The current Him looked like a cosmic god who looked down at the world.
This equipment is great. I really respect the person who made this equipment.
After that, Hikaru felt like he had forgotten that this equipment must have been made by humans. The effects of the Void cloak could be turned on or off depending on Hikaru\'s thoughts. After turning it off, the concealing effect remained, and the Void cloak also became invisible and could not be seen.
Then, Hikaru suddenly asked Rika about the 4th function of the Void cloak - [Description 4: The wearer of the Void cloak can meet another person by using their consciousness. The level of the person you can meet must not be 20 levels higher than you.
[This means that the master\'s consciousness and the person you need to meet will meet at any place you want. However, the master and that person can only talk, and are unable to attack or harm each other.]
Listening to Rika\'s explanation, Hikaru understood what this function did. Suddenly, Hikaru realized something: "Consciousness can meet anywhere I want." Maybe...
Hikaru thought for a long time and decided to test out this function.
…
Elsewhere, Petran and Ratia were moving in the fog. Ratia felt very uncomfortable having to move without seeing their way.
Ratia could only follow closely behind Petran because only he had the ability to see through the fog. During the journey, Petran didn\'t say a word, and just walked.
Ratia couldn\'t help but ask, "How long will it take us before we reach Hikaru\'s territory?"
Petran suddenly stopped, glanced at Ratia, and said, "About three days."
Ratia was a bit surprised. "Three days? So, we will arrive earlier than he expected?"
"Earlier than he expected?" Petran felt strange hearing that.
"Right. Didn\'t you tell Hikaru that Sherwin would come to Hikaru\'s territory after five days?"
Ratia heard Petran\'s words and smiled mysteriously, then explained: "Do you really believe that statement is true? That statement was what I said to deceive Hikaru. In fact, Sherwin can come to Hikaru\'s territory after just 3 days."
Ratia asked in surprise, then, as if realizing something, she continued to ask: "Could it be... in the first place, you didn\'t intend to cooperate with Hikaru or Sherwin. You\'re just making them fight each other, and the winner in the end would be... you?"
Petran glanced at Ratia but did not answer. He continued walking forward. He thought that Hikaru\'s strength wasn\'t too high. He thought that Hikaru\'s highest skill or talent was just UR.
However, now Petran was beginning to reconsider. He was a little worried because he couldn\'t see what skill Hikaru possessed. His skill, the Ancient Hawk Eye, had a disadvantage it was that if the enemy owned a skill or talent with a class higher than UR+, he could not see the information about that person.
Therefore, Petran thinks that Hikaru has at least one skill or talent higher than the UR+ class. That means that Hikaru was very strong. However, Petran can see that Sherwin possesses two talents in the UR Class. Thus, the fight between Sherwin and Hikaru could go either way, so the winner could be either of them.
\'It would be fantastic if they both fought to the death and I came out on top.In the future, I will be rid of two enemies with frightening potential\' Petran thought.
Suddenly, Petran stopped walking. He felt his head a little dizzy, then he suddenly blacked out. Ratia, who was walking in the back, suddenly saw Petran stop in confusion, but she didn\'t say anything.
…
Soon, Petran opened his eyes. He saw tall buildings, cars, trucks, and traffic lights. Everyone around him was rushing on the road.
"T-this is... Earth?" Petran was startled when he saw the scene in front of him. Petran reached out his trembling hand to try to touch a man in front of him.
The standing man who was touched by Petran\'s back turned around in surprise. When he saw Petran, he angrily shouted: "What the hell are you doing? Do I know you?"
"N-no!" Petran was even more startled when the man in front of him turned around and yelled at him. He even scolded him for being crazy and left. People around us felt that Petran\'s actions were too bizarre, so they kept a distance from him.
Petran didn\'t pay attention to the gazes of the others. He looked around as if trying to confirm once again whether this place was Earth or an illusion.
"Is this... really Earth? Why did I come back?" Petran could hardly believe that he was actually on Earth.
Suddenly, everything stopped. People hurrying along the road, moving cars, flying pigeons, falling leaves, all stopped. Petran saw that and was surprised. He did not know what was happening anymore.
"We meet again, Petran."
