Chapter 72: [Chalice of Equilibrium!]



"Well. This looks pretty bland," I thought as I found myself in the empty space same as the [Freestyle] one. Unlike the [Freestyle], this did not have any options except for a button to exit it.

"Seems like I need to bring things from outside to place it in here." I reached a conclusion on my own before I got out of the space.

Since we checked the [Extras], it was time to check the other two things that I received as well.

[Inversion (Common)!]

[Effects: Allows the User to reverse 20% of a common attack or lower back to the enemy

Cooldown: 5 Minutes!]

'Well. This could come handy in tricky situations.' I pondered a little about where I could use this.

"Now finally," I looked at the [Artifact] that I received as 'Compensation' for our delayed meeting.

[Chalice of Equilibrium (???)!]

[Description: This Chalice was created by the Goddess of Equilibrium, Equi, to grant an equivalent exchange to her followers. Though 20% of the powers are absorbed by the Artifact so the received product is always of lower value than the given product.

Effects: Will give you a desired product as long as an equal price is paid!]

"You lose something, you get something worse, huh? But still… if I feed it something that I don't need or cannot use, then this could become a very valuable asset," I thought, as it wasn't really a bad product.

"Let's find something to test it with," I thought as I began searching the bandit's hideout. I had a hunch that they must have a lot of stolen goods and pretty much on the mark, I found a hidden basement containing a huge stack of gold and jewelry.

"Now, how do I use this artifact? Do I need to pour the gold in it?" I mumbled as I started pouring the gold first, but nothing happened as the chalice immediately filled up with a few gold coins.

Removing the Gold coins, I forced on the chalice itself.

[Name Your Wish!]

"Ah! It's something like that, huh?" I thought as I looked at the Ring which Alepsia gave me.

[Greater Ring of Illusions (Legendary)!]

[Description: This ring was forged by the Goddess of Light, Alepsia, for doing mischief with her siblings. She used to play with them all the time, one of the best items from her childhood. Even the Gods won't be able to see through the disguise. A curse has been placed upon it to limit its functions.

Effect: Allows the user to mask himself in any humanoid form.

Limitations: This ring will be bound to the user and cannot be exchanged.

Base Mana Cost: 100MP/minute!]

"Let's go with removing the Mana Cost," I spoke out as I looked at the Chalice..

[Searching for Valuables that would compensate for the given wish!]

A flash of light came from the chalice before another message appeared.

[Nothing of equal worth Found!]

"Hmmm… then let's go with reducing the Mana cost by 90%."

[Nothing of equal worth found!]

"75%."

[Nothing of equal worth found!]

"50%."

[Nothing of equal worth found!]

"25%."

[Nothing of equal worth found!]

"20%."

[Nothing of equal worth found!]

"10%."

[Nothing of equal worth found!]

"5%"

[Nothing of equal worth found!]

"1%."

[Nothing of equal worth found!]

"..."

I looked at the chalice and then at the ring. I couldn't help but sigh as I pondered if there is anything else that I need right now, obviously something that I could afford.

"A ring that can store items?" I came to this conclusion. The store wasn't selling something like that and I guess, it's something that any fantasy adventurer would die to have with him.

Unlike the previous [Nothing of equal worth found!], this time the ring showed me what it can get for me and how much the cost would be. So, I began doing some hits and trials with the chalice before I was satisfied.

[Would you like to have a [Equipment Storage Ring (Uncommon)!] in exchange for the gold and jewelry?]

I pressed yes, as a bright flash appeared again, taking 95% of the items and golds around me. There were still about 50 gold coins left there, but all the jewelry was gone.

And in front of me was a levitating ring shining in green.

[Equipment Storage Ring (Uncommon)!]

[Effects:

-Allows the user to store any weapons, armor or equipment.

-Allows the user to store any gold and valuables

Limitations:

-Cannot store Living Beings

-Time passes the same as outside.

-The weight is transferred to the wearer!

Remarks: It's good if you are strong enough to carry the weight of it!]

"Well. Better than nothing," I smiled as I placed the [Chalice of Equilibrium] in the storage ring and began walking outside there. I can probably place my things within my [Personal Storage] but I need to figure out how to do it first.

Walking out of the bandit's hideout, I slowly reached the surface. Unsurprisingly, I didn't find anyone on the way out.

'Since I finished the quest, both should be safe. And I can assume Gray is free as well,' I thought as I wondered again if I should go back to the Town or just move out of here.

"Well. There is still that quest that Alepsia gave me," I thought as I looked through the system before finding it.

[Guardian of the Night!]

[Grade: Rare

Difficulty: Moderate

Description: You have been tasked by the Goddess of Light to protect her city in the absence of her saintess. Follow her commands for the next two weeks to fulfill the mission. Since the Goddess has given you an item from her arsenal, she is expecting good results from you on this mission.

Time left till Quest completion: 12 Days 8 Hours 31 Minutes

Rewards: ???

Penalty: ???

Remark: Try not using Light Magic at all for better rewards!]

"Well. It better be worth it," I thought as I began walking towards the city again. Though avoiding any possible problems, let's avoid the Adventurers' guild all together.

'I can just get there when I have collected enough information about the situation,' I decided, not knowing how much trouble this decision was going to save me.
