Chapter 112: Legendary Equipment
〜Aun’s point of view〜
At the same time as everyone came over to where I was, the Arch Chimera was absorbed into the dungeon, and a treasure chest appeared from the ground.
「H-Hey… what is this…?」
「It’s purple…」Drake.
「Yeah…. I’m not imagining it, am I?」
「There doesn’t seem to be any traps. I don’t think there is any doubt that Aun should open the box this time.」Nelfie.
「…Y-Yeah… But it can’t be, right?」
Just because the box is purple doesn’t mean the item within will also be purple rank. Besides, I’ve heard that purple-rank items are called legendary-class which are so rare that even whole countries only possess one.
I’ve been getting pretty lucky recently, but I was already grateful enough for getting red rank items.
Don’t place hope, don’t place hope, don’t place hope…
「Go ahead and open it, Aun.」Kinu.
「Here I go!」
「Ha, ha… I can’t believe it…」
「Bro, what is it?」
「…A purple rank men’s kimono set.」
「…………」
「…………」
「…………」
「…………」
「Seriouslyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!??」Drake.
「Seriouslyyyyyyyy!! Wowoooo!!!」
「U-Unbelievable… To be able to draw a purple rank armor, and a kimono at that. That’s another level of luck…」Nelfie.
「It’s Aun, after all.」Kinu.
「How wonderful! This should be used by Aun-sama!」
「Are you sure!? Is it really okay for me to use it!?」
「Isn’t that obvious! You won it with your power and good luck, after all!」Drake.
「Hooray! I’m going to use it, okay!!!」
「Nn. Let’s return to the base for now.」
After that, we returned to the base. and quickly changed my clothes.
The treasure chest contained a haori, a hakama, tekko gloves, and a shoulder pad, which replaced King Akura’s kimono set. I don’t know when King Akura’s kimono will come in handy in the future, so I don’t plan to sell it.
「I’m sorry for the delay, I’ve changed clothes. I’ve been wearing a kimono up until now, so the ease of movement is still the same, and it feels like my performance has simply improved.」
「Nn. It really suits you.」
「A kimono definitely suits you the best, bro! You look crazy cool!」
「Thank you! It seems that defense will improve if I circulate mana through this armor. The feeling is the same as circulating mana through a weapon. This seems like it would be advantageous in battles against the demons.」
「Indeed!」Drake.
「Nevertheless, it was a great battle, Aun-sama.」
「It’s the first time I’ve seen you go all out, bro. To be honest, I was a little bummed because my goal is to be like you. I realized that there is still a huge distance before I can catch up to you. But I’m happy at the same time. After all, it’s better to have a big goal.」
「As Quereble said, we are all still in the process of growing. That means we can become even stronger. As I told you before, Drake, there is a fighting style that only you can do. Besides, since you said I’m your goal, I also feel nervous in a good way, you know?」
「Right… Oh, come to think of it, your final attack, that firepower was unbelievably crazy! Also, you were moving so fast that I could barely follow with my eyes…」
「The last attack is called [The Roaring Lightning King]. It’s an incredibly specialized skill. To be honest, I still don’t understand it well myself. It feels like a combination of both magic and skill. It has a tremendous amount of instantaneous firepower, but it also has its drawbacks. After activation, my MP drops to 1 and does not recover for 20 minutes.
The buff skill that increased my speed is called “Festival Music” and it has a special condition to activate, which is when my spirit rises. The trigger condition itself is an uncertain factor, but it’s a broken skill that doubles all stats. However, this also has the disadvantage of halving my stats after the effective time ends. It’s not something I can use normally.」
「So there are such things as well… Perhaps I should try various things too.」
「I don’t really understand the conditions for acquiring skills, but I think it’s worth trying out various things.」
「Understood! I’ll do my best!」
In the case of the human race, skills are not something that can be “acquired” that easily.
As for me, Kinu, and Shinku, we are generally classified under the category of “monsters”, and since we have experienced “evolution” many times, a process that humans do not experience, it is easier for us to acquire skills.
However, when it comes to Drake and Nelfie, even demi-humans practically fall under the umbrella of the human race. Nelfie is from a long-lived species, and the core of her skills was imprinted on by many excellent teachers in her life of over 100 years. Drake does not have that experience or knowledge.
However, having evolved from a dragonewt to a dragonite, and the innate sense of battle and magic undoubtedly puts Drake at the top of the human race.
If it’s Drake, I think there’s a good chance he’ll acquire new skills through trial and error in future battles.
「Alright, then. Let’s go back to the dungeon! Huh? Ruzark is calling me.」
Just as we were about to resume the round raid, I received a call from Ruzark from the communication magic tool.
『Aun, is now a good time?』
『Yeah, I’m just resting at the base. Weren’t we supposed to meet three days later?』
『Yes, but I received some unexpected information, so… though it’s a little early, I’d like to move the meeting forward to tomorrow morning. There is a possibility that the plan will change depending on the direction of the discussion.』
『Information sharing first, huh… Alright. Is it the usual place tomorrow morning?』
『Yes. See you there.』
After that, I told the other four that Ruzark had contacted about a schedule change.
Since I was the only one attending the meeting every time, it was decided that the other four would remain back in this dungeon, raise their levels, and challenge the Arch Chimera.

If luck is helping him this much wouldn’t it be better to add at least 5 points to his luck stats? Or is he unable to raise that stat only?
