"So, Jay what did you do? Weren't you supposed to just fight a few goblins and come back? How did you end up getting attacked by a Silver Ranked mob? If it weren't for Max being 90% through the bronze rank, we would have all died." Sarah questioned me seriously.
"No we would have actually died if it weren't for Jay's Slowdown skill. I mean we did not know about the Goblin Leader, so if he was not here, we would have been done for." Max spoke.
"I have no idea where it came from honestly. There weren't even any bronze goblins inside. What's more is not a single goblin followed me outside, other than the leader. It's as if the Goblin Leader appeared behind me in an instant. I did not even hear it." I told them how it attacked me.
After a long silence, Max spoke again "It seems like this is a new mystery. I will report this to the guild as well. Anyways, we should check the loot for now."
The loot we got was a lot for killing just a mob, but I guess it was Silver Ranked, so it makes sense.
Max kept the sword and Sarah took the necklace as it boosted spell power, which was amazing for her. As for the main thing, the Resonator:
Item: Wind Resonator, Rarity: Rare
Use: On using the item, one shall gain the ability to wield Wind.
Note: On using this you will gain 1 Wind Skill Token.
Resonating forces:2/5 skills:2/10
Do you want to use the Wind Resonator? :Yes/No
"So, this is for me?" I asked the three.
"Yeah, you need 2 resonators before you get the confluence one. After that you can officially become a Protector. So you should use it. Maybe when we get back though." Max replied.
Hmm.... Wind Resonator might end up giving me ability to fly or something. Even if it doesn't, I should give the boots to Max or Cleo, they will have a better use for them.
"Uhh... Does anyone want these boots?" I ask them, pointing at the boots I took out from my inventory.
The three of them used 'Inspect' on it through the party interface and their faces were visibly shocked.
"Let me guess, you also got this from the Mansion. You are too damned lucky!!! This is an upgradable gear! Do you know how much they cost??? Not only that, these boots can literally give you the ability to fly at higher ranks! And you just kept them in your inventory? Honestly Jay, you keep surprising me." Sarah exclaimed.
Replying to my question, Max said- "I don't need boots that can fly, being a swordsman means you need strong footing and proper balance. Although it would be great for travelling, I won't be able to use it the best. Sarah should take it, if you don't want it obviously."
"I have similar reasons to you, I can barely fight with my sword right now, if I add a variable like gliding into it, I might end up getting killed or something"
So it was decided, Sarah will keep the Gliding Boots.
"Can I rest for a bit now?" I asked the leader.
"Actually, I was thinking we should head back to the town. We should make it a priority to report the Silver Ranked monster. Since this is a Sparse Zone, a silver monster is very rare. And what's more is according to you it appeared out of nowhere. So you can rest in the inn. And even use the resonator safely." Max suggests, while giving me my share of coins, 30 Bronze and 90 Iron coins. Did I saw being a protector is good? Well it is!! I got all the skill tokens and the Resonator as well.
We returned to the town, and I split up from them to go to the Inn.
At the inn I decide to use the Resonator before using my skill tokens.
Do you want to use the Wind Resonator? :Yes/No
"Yes"
As soon as I use the Wind Resonator, all the wind around me stops, and rushes towards me, making me feel overwhelmed. What's more is I slowly start seeing a greenish hue in the wind. As if the wind has a color to itself. I don't faint at least.
Skill Token: 1 Wind Token; 1 Goblin's Horde Token; 3 Common Token
"Use Wind Token"
This time the wind around me spins in a circle and slowly comes toward me.
Skill: Blade of Wind(Iron)
