Chapter 477 Armory
"Ugh… You don't have to speak now… Return here…" Vincent awkwardly smiled after he heard the Source Cube speak. He swiftly placed it inside his System's inventory space as it disappeared from the Celestial's senses…
Vincent already knows that he will be questioned by the Celestials so he wanted to think of an excuse. He can't reveal that limit of his skills after all.
"What's this? Did you give life to it?" Rem asked jokingly. However, it actually made some sense considering they are in a world filled with mysteries.
Furthermore, they were already informed that Vincent had some sort of blessings that he received from a Deity.
"Did you install artificial intelligence? Is that possible? Where did you even put it?" Luna followed up as she looked at Vincent with passionate eyes.
"It's not like that… Well, it might be… But it's not really important, I need you guys to get your weapons in the armory. Since most of you don't have Celestial Weapons and Armor, you all need to have better items. Take whatever suited your taste… If possible, I want you all to have a pistol as well."
"Pistol? You've made one?" Agatha asked.
"Yes… There's a rifle as well but it's still in the trial period since it can't handle prolonged bursts… Anyway, hurry up… I will give you an assignment later on. For now, just familiarize yourself with the city."
Vincent said as he heaved a sigh of relief after successfully changing the topic. He doesn't really want to discuss his Awakening Skill. He wanted to at least keep it a mystery to them.
"Alright, let me lead you all to the armory…" Luna noticed that Vincent wanted to keep his secret so she urged the Celestials to follow her.
***
After passing through the barracks and meeting a few Magic Knights along the way, the group of Celestials safely entered the armory.
There were several shelves inside filled with weapons and pieces of equipment.
Furthermore, they were all top-quality items!
If not for the Formation Art restricting the aura of the weapons, it will certainly create a disturbance and everyone within a hundred miles will notice it.
"The Epic Grade items are on the leftmost shelf to the middle. The remaining ones have Pseudo-Legendary Grade items and there is one shelf with Legendary Items. If you think they're suited to your fighting style, you can take one of them." Luna declared as she showed the Armory to the new Celestials.
"We can even take Legendary Items? Did you guys excavate a dungeon filled with treasures?" One of the Celestials asked.
"It's not like that… Vincent has his own way of obtaining items. You will learn more about this if you stay closer to him." Luna replied.
"I didn't expect that Vincent would be this rich…" Agatha muttered as she looked around.
She also noticed that the items weren't too eye-catching. If they also suppressed the items' aura, these weapons would seem normal to the public's eyes. She liked this kind of style since she doesn't want to appear too conspicuous.
"This is impressive… I've contracted with a powerful Hunter Group with centuries of history but they weren't even able to collect this much wealth." Number 105 added as she approached the nearest shelf.
The shelves containing Epic-Grade Items were filled without any spaces in between as if someone was always filling them up if one was taken.
There were swords, blades, spears, shields, and even pieces of equipment like bracers, shoulder guards, chest plates, and helmets.
"You don't need to be shy and take what you need. Sir Vincent is richer than you thought…" Luna added as she had already seen Vincent use his modification ability.
She was previously ordered to deliver things from Beacon Magic Store to Vincent's workshop. Then, he would later return these things to her and send them back to the Store. This time, however, things were already in a higher-quality form… She may not have seen it personally, but she knows how efficient Vincent was in terms of upgrading these items.
Anyway, she had a similar reaction when she first saw this armory. Even if their Celestial Weapon and Armor are quite superior to these weapons in terms of durability and destructive power, the items within this place are still more convenient…
After all, the items have various skills that Celestials like them can trigger as expected of Epic Grade weapons. It was quite fun checking them. They contain fantastic elemental skills and some of them have convenient skills like weight overload, float, cleanse, corrosion resistance, and other skills that make them a very convenient weapon.
Well, uncommon-rank items, or perhaps even rare items, couldn't handle their Celestial Energy and can be easily destroyed if they weren't careful. Only Unique-Grade items and above can somewhat handle their energy and would at least not be destroyed as quickly as uncommon items.
This is why they couldn't help but be happy to get several high-grade items with them…
"Finally, I can replace my rapier…" Number 115 muttered as she tried looking around at Epic-Grade items' shelves. The others also started walking around to look for their weapons.
Number 115 first looked at the shelf containing Legendary Items, but unfortunately, there are no swords or blades there…
As she checked the shelves with Pseudo-Legendary items, she noticed that all the swords were too thick… They were broadswords or double-handed swords which does not fit her combat style.
These kinds of swords weren't popular so she could understand why they were left on the shelves. Of course, a rapier is also quite unpopular and the reason why there weren't any Pseudo-Legendary of this kind was most likely because they were too unconventional…
"Eh?"
As she was looking for a piercing sword, she suddenly noticed a wooden sword in the row of Epic-Grade items…
She looked around again and confirmed that there is only one wooden sword there. It was obviously ignored by other Celestials who are also looking for their weapon.
However, for some reason, she felt attracted to this black wooden sword and decided to pick it up.
