This is obviously an insane item! From what I can recall, this kind of item that can be reused after a few amount of time is called Zertex in the game. I have no idea why they call it Zertex but that is the term that are branded on this item. Looking at its effects, its only inferior on Midas' Gloves which has the ability to turn any items into gold coins without limitations. It was a God Tier Item so it was considered to be really hard to obtain.
But this item is not too bad. A monster below Boss and Mini Boss levels can be converted to 100 gold coins without killing it 5 times a month. A month to recharge its usage again might be long but it was already considered as an oppression on how OP it is. Imagine, using this item by converting every monsters below your level into gold will be too excessive already, what is more, there is no limit, anyone seeing it will tremble so in actuality, the developers made it with limit.
This should be considered as a good reward in return from the experience I should have earned. I quickly put the item in my inventory, when I put the item, the panel of completion appeared.
"Oh yeah, I also repaired the Pole Of Weakening. If you want to clear the Lesser Purgatory this time, you can now do it. However, let me warn you, do not go to the abyss mode yet. It is not something you can challenge without preparation and in a hasty manner. Understand?" Simona raised her eyebrow as she looked at me sternly.
I was forced to nod but deep inside, I was already planning on going to the Abyss mode and also make a few preparations this time around. Mayor Bruno also nodded and I bid farewell to them. Before going back to the Capital, I decided to buy a few more papyrus around 200 pieces in good quality and a few more Excellent Quality which cost me a few gold coins. Though I am not planning to use them yet, it is better for me to stock up so that I won't be coming back and forth here in the future if I lacked papyrus.
Looking around town one last time, I departed after not finding anything that can interest me. Leona transformed back into her real form before departing alongside with me.
...
I did not land to the Capital directly as Leona is too eye catching therefore, I landed to the nearby forest. No monsters can actually threaten me here. With Leona in my side, I walked towards the Capital again. I first go to the Bank and deposited all of the excess equipments, a few amount of Papyrus, and a few materials. After all of that, I decided to go to the Alchemy Shop once again. I have not used the Dragon Strength potion last time and I have not consumed Wizard Potion either. However, only one if each potions are not enough if I plan to dive the Abyss Mode. This is not a joke. If I have to finish the Abyss Mode in the fastest way, drinking similar kinds of these potions are the only way.
I spent 10 gold to buy 20 Dragon Strength Potions and 20 Wizard Potions. Since I have not got the chance to learn the Brewmaster Ex Job yet, this is enough for now. With 21 potions for each, this is now enough to last to the abyss dungeon. I also bought 50 Mana Potions and 50 Health Potions. I can't rely on my recovery speed alone. If I wanted to gain the fastest abyss dungeon run and the first clear in solo, I will now rely on potions this time. As what Simona said before, Abyss Mode is not something to be trifled easily. It is several times harder to compare on Normal, Hard and Hell modes. Also, you can't revive once you die in the Abyss mode and will be sent directly to cathedral if in party. Moreover, you are forbidden to enter the dungeon again for a week unless the party you have before emerge triumphant.
With that said, after a few more preparation, I also checked the remaining scrolls. I also made a Teleport Scroll in advance. This is not one of the scrolls I am currently making but a scroll bought in the market. Abyss Mode allows teleportation so unless someone wanted to escape, Teleport Scrolls are the way, though you still are induced to the forbidden entrance duration if you used it. This scroll is just for emergency purposes.
I didn't bother changing the appearance of my Versatile Weapon until now but that can wait later on. I checked my equipment and after finding out no problems, I nodded and directly go to the dungeon just outside the Capital...
When I arrived, many players are loitering around. They seemed to be trying to find out some hidden quest to trigger or some sort of way to trigger the opening of the dungeon. Of course, they can't open it yet unless Simona allows one to enter and exit as per the Pole of Weakening used.
I spotted a lot of them and I even find Black Hue Waters and Panther Fang trying to find some sort of clues, blocking the main entrance. I have known them in my past timeline via an Alternate World Arena tournament. I really don't have a good opinion on them so I did not bother. They are so arrogant so just forget them.
"Strange, this dungeon should be open to the players. How cone you can't enter it?" Black Hue Waters probed the barrier currently stopping anyone's advance inside.
"There should be dome sort of event or a series of quest needed to complete before we can unlock this dungeon. That is what I think anyway," Panther Fang said.
"Then, we should start investigating this place," Black Hue Waters said.
I did not bother on them and pushed through the crowd, still wearing the Earrings of Anonymity, Mask of the Oni and Cloak of Darkness. The players were speechless on me as I trudge through.
Black Hue Waters already have noticed me but since I am hiding my face, and name, everything appeared concealed to them, causing him to frown.
"What are you doing here? Aqua Blood Alliance is currently taking this place as our hideout for a while," Black Hue Waters said.
Pft! I almost burst to laughing. You? Taking this place as your hideout? Are you pulling my leg or what? This place is useless if you don't have the power of the Weakening Pole. How can you even enter the place?
"..." I did not respond at him but he was quite persistent.
Black Hue Waters was still trying to say something then he discovered that I disregarded him while he was talking causing him to get angry.
"You, don't you know who you are talking to?!"
Who are you, some sort of good man? Nope, he didn't fit. As he was currently blocking my way, I pushed him away to the side. My push was somewhat strong causing him to fall.
"Eh?"
Black Hue Waters was not able to know how come this guy was able to push him without effort. Panther Fang looked at me and pointed in the dungeon.
"You still can't enter it, you will be wasting your effort," Panther Fang reminded.
"Piss off," I said before brushing
him off which made him feel agitated.
"What a dick!" he growled.
"Heh, let's see him humiliate himself for being a dick," Black Hue Waters said. Even the other players looked at me with a disdain.
I quickly pull out the Pole of Weakening out and stick in the Pole of Weakening to the same place I put it last time.
WENG!
The barrier that was limiting me from entering was removed and a panel visible to all appeared to me.
"Please Choose difficulty in the Lesser Purgatory"
"Abyss" I said flatly without even looking at the reactions of the people outside.
As soon as I said Abyss, the air inside the dungeon turned heavy and Euclid. this is no longer normal mode but Abyss Mode. With that, I go inside the door and with large strides, I get inside the dungeon leaving the stupefied reactions of the Aqua Blood Alliance.
Black Hue Waters was the first to react.
"Hey, he got inside! Does that means we can also get in?!" his eyes glowed in excitement.
"Let's do it!" Everyone regained composure and began marching towards the entrance when...
Pu!
Black Hue Waters were stumped to the invisible wall. Everyone also got bumped and they failed to enter.
"What is going on?!" Black Hue Waters roared.
"How did that guy enter?!" everyone howled.
Panther Fang was more observant and saw the Pole of Weakening stuck in the nearby land.
"Guild Leader, maybe we can use this? That guy before put it in the ground before going inside," Panther Fang explained.
"I see! Then do it!" Black Hue Waters was hopeful.
Just as Panther Fang was about to hold the Pole of Weakening, a strong current of lightning emitted and sent Panther Fang flying, leaving him with 1 HP left.
"..." Black Hue Waters
"..." Everyone.
Panther Fang struggled as he slowly move his body. The electric attack that shot him away was clearly emitted in the pole. He look at the log and saw the words on the log.
"Forbidden. This item is not yours to begin with. Do not be a thief!"
"..." Panther Fang.
I am just trying to touch it! Why label me as a thief?!
