YM778.TV Chapter 46 – Spectre Set
Seeing Rui’s amazing skills, everyone couldn’t help but stare with open mouths, with the ends twitching. They’ve seen crazy Rogues, but they’ve never seen a Rogue as crazy as him. This Rogue was soloing a Boss; is he really a rogue?
Even a Knight wouldn’t dare to be this confident, right? What’s most unbelievable was not only was he taking damage while holding the Boss back, he was also doing abnormal damage (DPS) to it.
When one thinks of a Boss, they would relate it to something of a strong existence that can only be defeated by teamwork. However, what is with the situation right now? A Rogue, widely known as a melee glass cannon fodder, has the advantage against a Boss in a 1v1 fight!
‘Damn, was this game cheating? How does one play a Rogue like that?’
“Dammit, dammit, dammit…”
Halief, who was being suppressed by Rui’s strong and incessant attacks, shouted in rage. However, he had used all his strength earlier to use the “Strike of Honour.” He was now feeling weak, and was being pushed back. It was only a matter of time before Halief is defeated.
Rui ignored Halief’s loud and tenacious yelling while the dagger in his hands danced and dealt vicious blows repeatedly, causing Halief, who was already on the verge of death, to nearly die.
“…K…ri…s…”
As Rui cleanly sliced across his throat, Halief’s long HP bar was finally depleted. Before he was died, he glared towards Ronnie, then looked at Kris. Resenting yet cherishing, with a voice filled with both hate and love, he called out her name.
“Halief!”
Seeing Halief dying, Kris’ tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Ronnie also looked upon his erstwhile companion with mixed feelings in his heart, as he tenderly embraced Kris’ head into his chest, not letting her to look upon the scene anymore.

Getting 250 thousand experience caused Rui to shoot up 2 levels to reach level 12.
“I choose Option 2!” Previously, Rui had chosen to add his stats to be more like a Warrior since he was still in the newbie village. However, now that he was able to leave the village, change classes, and get new skills, naturally he would start adding his stats befitting of a Rogue.
To replace the Agility he had not previously added, Rui did not hesitate to place all 10 of his recently gained stat points into Agility, causing his Speed to increase by 1.
“He is indeed worthy of being a Final Boss. That was some experience.”
The rest of the party had risen to level 10, and Yezekael said in admiration as he walked over to join Rui with his face filled with happiness.
Originally, he had expected it would take them at least 2 more days to reach level 10. This was an unexpected, unbelievable efficiency. Being able to enter the city a step ahead of other players would bring him great, almost inestimable, profit.
“This time we really have to thank Bro Sly Hand. Do let this ‘little brother’ know if you have any good deals like this in the future.”
Upon hearing Yezekael’s words, Rui smiled without saying anything. He had brought Yezekael and the rest into the Lost Mines because he wanted to repay the goodwill debt of the one gold coin they loaned.
They seemed nice, so he had taken them in as temporary partners in game. To him, who was used to being a lone wolf, especially one with such power, it was normal to have a business partner. Since he found them agreeable, why bother finding another partner.
As for Yezekael calling himself ‘little brother,’ Rui just accepted it. He couldn’t really be bothered with names, as long as he himself wasn’t the subordinate.
Nodding, Rui walked over to Halief’s corpse, and retrieved the loot that had dropped. There were 6 pieces of equipment, 2 tattered scrolls, a book, and 8 gold coins. Definitely a bountiful harvest!
Roughly checking out the equipment, Rui found only one Gold equipment, while the rest were Silver.
“This… Isn’t this the Guardian Set? It has unexpectedly changed into the Spectre Set.”
Looking at the equipment in Rui’s hands, Ronnie walked over and said in surprised.
“Guardian Set? What’s that?” Rui asked.
“That’s a set of equipment that only those who have risen to become a true Knight can wear. After all these years, Halief’s resentful aura has caused it to warp into this, even changing its properties and lowering its stats. What a shame.” Ronnie shook his head and said with a sigh.
“It’s stats have been lowered? It’s already not bad. After all, they are Silver equipment; they are already better than what I am currently using.” Rui said with a smile.
“True. Although these equipment have been corroded, their effects are still not bad. Then, let me help you appraise them!” Ronnie said while smiling.
“Oh, you can appraise equipment?” Yezekael and the rest were surprised, while Rui only gave a faint smile. Since Ronnie’s father could appraise equipment, it wasn’t a surprise Ronnie had learnt the trade as well.
“Of course, that is my ancestral technique.” Ronnie laughed as he took the equipment from Rui for appraisal.

Such a powerful sword definitely lived up to its name as a Gold equipment. In the hands of a strong Warrior, it would be a disaster to the current players who were currently considered fragile in comparison. One Rage Blow would instantly kill most players, or at least bring them to the verge of death.

Seeing this set of equipment, Yezekael drooled in admiration. These items were already pretty good individually, without counting the fact that they were a full set of gear!
