He reached the safe tree line to find Muna waiting for him there with a big smile over her face. "It seems you got many levels," he smiled while crossing the line.
"Master, I have reached level fourteen," she replied, and her reply gave him a scare!
He was still at level twelve, making him lower than her with one level. "Do the experience points for you to level up be small perhaps?" he asked, but she seemed quite puzzled by this question. "Forget it, the stronger you are the better," he said before feeling another problem.
She told him she and other agents would mimic any player's skills, but he didn't want them to mimic him. He already had his shades and he didn't need more of his copies, or else this might raise suspicion. "I need to make them play with other players then, I think the shield bearers and light daughters would increase my ability to level up faster. Also shade sons might be quite useful at some point."
He was now thinking of using all the dark agents he had to make them much stronger, to make himself far stronger. "Come, we will go deeper," he said before heading towards the wilderness again, while Muna just followed him.
"I will level them all to level fifteen and then release them with players around here," he thought about the five veteran players he fought with while clashing with Panty. "Players like them would be useful to mimic skills from," he murmured while moving towards a small hill.
He knew this hill resembled the one he once used to hide, and after this large battle here, he had such a rare and clear path towards this hill. The moment he reached it, and climbed it, he found the remaining red zone filled with many monsters again.
"Time for them to use the old tactic," he thought to himself before checking the shade doppelganger festival skill; it was still on cooldown. "Sigh, ten more minutes then," he said before turning to glance at Muna and thinking, "will the other agents be with such beauty? I hope so!"
He decided to summon the rest of the agents now. Muna's level was already higher than his, so he needed to raise up the others' levels as well, before finally releasing them to the world.
He had now eight unused tokens inside his inventory, but when he was about to take them out, another thing caught his attention.
"I totally forgot about you," he muttered before taking out a box, the strange box he had acquired once before from the merchant caravan. "Let's see what magic you behold, little friend," he said while using the investigate skill over this box.
"Equipment nightmare box: A special equipment that was made to mimic the mythic equipment Pandora box. Gold grade. Can't be stored except inside the player's inventory. Has a certain falling rate if a player loses more than two levels in a single day.
Effect: It's the nightmare of any gear; with even such a clumsy mimic of the original, it has the effect of tearing down any gear and turning it into its original materials plus a large sum of gold. Can be used once per ten minutes. no limit on the grade of equipment it can demolish."
"Wow, it's a small gear eating shark then!!" Bloom was speechless for a moment there before recalling the many equipment he had in his inventory. "Let's try these level ten grade green useless equipment," he muttered before taking out a sword as he put it into the cone of the box.
The box was compact, with nothing opened to receive equipment except for that cone.
The moment he put the sword there, the box started humming on its own. The box was made of dark blue metal with long red stripes covering its surface; and these red stripes started to shine brightly, while the rest of the box started to pulsate slowly then rapidly.
This kept going for a minute, giving Bloom the feeling it would explode! As the minute passed, the box calmed down, and a strange fog started to dissipate from its base, covering an area of three meters around it.
"Really? That's such an amusing tool!"
The fog disappeared as it appeared; slowly returning to the box before vanishing there, exposing the stretch of land it covered, showing the materials and gold it left behind.
"One hundred level ten grade green materials, plus one thousand gold coins! That's really a fortune!"
He was shocked beyond description when he collected the materials and the gold coins. Merely with this amount of gold he could easily buy a level ten grade gold equipment, or even two!
As for these materials, he stored them while thinking about the relation between their grade and the grade of the decomposed gear.
"Let's try this sword later," he said while taking out one of the swords he took from the NPCs back at the caravan. He examined it and found it was a gold grade level fifty sword.
"According to my calculations, I would have level fifty grade gold materials, and many gold coins."
He put the sword next to the box as he had to wait for ten minutes. "Time to summon the rest of dark agents," he muttered, before taking the eight tokens from his inventory, and started to summon them one by one.
"Master!"
"Master!"
.
.
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Oh my gosh! I'm now pretty confident the developer who did these agents was such a pervert one!"
In front of Bloom, eight stunning beauties knelt to the ground, while respectfully saluting him. they weren't anyway lower than Muna in beauty, and each one of them had her own taste, making him really drool when they appeared.
Their voices were such a melody that made even his heart palpitate. "Thank you Mr. Perverted developer, I really will treat such a creation with extra care! From now on, you aren't called the dark agents, you are called my dark harem, hehehehe!"
