Reverse Apocalypse: The Devil's Revenge

[1x『500 Black Tarthear Needles (D Rank)』, 1x『Casket of Trickery (E- Rank)』, 1x『Blanchal Silk Gloves (C- Rank)』have been purchased. 150 Arcanium have been deducted!]

A pair of white, fingerless gloves, and two small black boxes materialized in front of Liam. He reached out to them and smiled lightly.

The fabric of the gloves was extremely thin and the color perfectly matched the skin tone of Liam which made it seem as if he wasn't wearing anything when he put them on.

As for the two black boxes, one was the Casket of Trickery. It was black in color with a small button on the left side. The backside of the Casket of Trickery had two loops which made it easy for him to attach it to his belt. Overall, the Casket of Trickery was ten centimeters long, five centimeters wide, and not even two centimeters in height.

It was an extremely small box with a simple, yet extremely important function…the Casket of Trickery could store a total of 500 needles inside and release one at a time under the influx of Arcane Power or by pressing the small button on the left side.

That was a sleek mechanism behind the Casket of Trickery that could barely be perceived when someone wore a black belt!

[『Casket of Trickery』–Circleless Accesory(E- Rank)–

Description: Simple box that fits 500 Needles. It can dispense one Needle whenever accessed through the trigger on the left. Arcane Power can function as a trigger as well.

Remark: Customized item for 500 Tarthear Needles. May not fit other Needles!]

The Casket of Trickery had a unique name but it was a rather simple box. Nonetheless, it cost Liam five Arcanium which was not cheap under the current circumstances. Liam was pretty sure that it was worth the investment since it would allow him to move much more smoothly when initiating sudden attacks with the Black Tarthear Needles and taking his enemy by surprise, but that was only something the future could tell.

He opened the other box in which the 500 Black Tarthear Needles were stored and transferred them into the Casket of Trickery. Afterward, he was testing a few things such as the functioning of the Casket's dispenser and how easy it was to use the Black Tarthear Needles.

Liam rarely used needles or similar means to fight his opponents in the past. The fighting style of an assassin hadn't been suitable for him since his combat style was usually brutal and straightforward not deceptive or cunning.

That had always been enough for him to defeat his opponents since he was resilient like a cockroach. Being hard to kill had been quite an advantage in the past but that didn't mean he was the same as before, especially since he was not in possession of the same Soultrait as before.

That was also why he had gotten his hands on a hidden weapon, small and deadly, and perfect to use against his current opponents.

[『500 Black Tarthear Needles』–Circleless Hidden Weapon(D Rank)–

Description: The destructiveness of the Black Tarthear Needle is the same as an ordinary needle if not used with Arcane Power. Coated with Arcane Power the Black Tarthear Needle unfolds its true prowess. Poison will spread through the designated target upon contact with anything that possesses Arcane Power!

Remark: Don't play around with it, or you may accidentally kill your own comrades. Many have experienced this!]

Not using any Arcane Power turned the Black Tarthear Needles into ordinary black-colored needles. They were special since they were created from a unique metal that released a toxin after it came in contact with Arcane Power. The Black Tarthear Needles were adjusted to make sure that the wielder won't sustain any injuries if the needles coated in Arcane Power won't remain in his hands for more than five seconds.

The 500 needles cost him 45 Arcanium, which meant that the set of needles and the Casket of Trickery cost him a total of 50 Arcanium. That was quite a lot, considering that the Black Tarthear Needles were hard to locate and retrieve once they hit their target.

Liam didn't think that he would have enough time to search for a bunch of needles in the middle of a fight. Thus, he considered them a one-time use item, which meant that he had to earn 1 Arcanium for every 10 Black Tarthear Needles he used to make up for the loss.

But Liam didn't plan to earn back just what he invested. He wanted to make big profits with the Black Tarthear Needles since it was a waste of precious resources to throw the needles at ordinary huge rats, or the ordinary Meheks.

However, even if the Casket of Trickery and the 500 Black Tarthear Needles had been expensive, the Blanchal Silk Gloves were certainly the most expensive item Liam purchased from the Arcane Shop.

The Blanchal Silk Gloves were fingerless which was a necessity since it allowed Liam to fight with his hands and give room to let them morph into claws while also using the Black Tarthear Needles. The steel battle-axe was not essential anymore even though Liam chose to carry it around with him. After all, it might come in handy in the future.

Liam didn't think that it would be necessary since the Blanchal Silk Gloves were exceptional but he might be mistaken.

[『Blanchal Silk Gloves』–Circleless Armament(C- Rank)–

Description: The Blanchal Silk Gloves are made from the silk of a Blanchal Silkworm. The silk is known for its great conductivity of Arcane Power and the effect to store Arcane Power inside it.

Once filled to the brim, the gloves will naturally circulate Arcane Power through the wearer's hands.

The stored Arcane Power can be controlled freely and it can be released in an instant if desired.

Remark: The surge of Arcane Power can damage the wearer's hands if not controlled properly!]

The Blanchal Silk Gloves were very helpful for Liam since he could use the Arcane Power stored inside the gloves to reinforce his claws if necessary.

In the worst case, he could even use the Arcane Power inside the Blanchal Silk Gloves to trigger the effect of the Black Tarthear Needles. It was great to have a small storage of Arcane Power that could be controlled freely.

Liam tried to fill the Blanchal Silk Gloves with his Arcane Power but he noticed quickly that the gloves had a storage capacity that exceeded the Arcane Power his body could hold at once.

It was not much of a difference but it was more than enough for Liam to nod his head in satisfaction. The Blanchal Silk Gloves cost him 100 Arcanium, which was also why it had been a hard decision to arrive at and he had spent some time debating whether he should purchase them, or if it would be better to purchase a weapon for the same price.

In the end, Liam chose the Blanchal Silk Gloves since he required more Arcane Power, to begin with. His Devil's Eyes Soultrait required a considerable amount of Arcane Power to be triggered and to sustain it and the same could be said about the Black Tartheart Needles. If he were to use many of them within a short period of time, his Arcane Power would be drained real quick.

Of course, there was more to Liam's purchase!
