Chapter 17: Double Kill! A Luxurious Piece of Equipment!

Brandon played with his dagger as he looked at the tall and thin man with a smug expression.

On the other hand, the tall and thin man’s face turned pale bit by bit.

When the short and fat man was ambushed for the second time, he already knew that he and his opponent were being targeted by this mysterious third person, who was now standing in front of him.

The reason why he attacked the short and fat man first was for one reason.

Balance!

Balance the state between him and the short and fat man.

To ensure that he would not be killed by the short and fat man first.

A kill could increase all attributes by 5 points. No one would let it go easily.

The process was as the third person had planned. He and the short and fat man were madly fighting each other while the third person could watch the battle and make a move at the right time, obtaining the greatest result at the smallest price.

He had thought of resisting, but this was an open plot.

He knew, but he could not resist.

Looking at Brandon who was in good condition and without any damage to his equipment, the tall and thin man raised both his hands and said, “Don’t kill me!”

“I’ll give you all my equipment. Spare my life.”

Although the possibility was not high, he still wanted to struggle.

Brandon raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that there would be such a method of exchanging equipment for life in an escape game.

‘However, if I kill you, I will still be able to gain all your equipment and increase all my attributes by 5 points,’ Brandon thought to himself.

Brandon did not reply.

He waved his hand and a blade flashed. He heard the system notification sound in his mind.

[You have hit the target, causing 216 critical hit damage!]

[You have killed an enemy (Bruce O’Neill)!]

[All your attributes have increased by 5 points (only valid in this game)!]

“The eighth kill!”

Brandon’s lips curled up. After returning to his invisibility state, he began to check the soul tomb on the second floor.

This time, he did not hear anyone approaching.

It seemed that by now, the people who had entered Holy Fire City had used up most of their energy.

Five soul tombs.

There were a lot of things inside, but not many things could catch Brandon’s eye.

After all, before he entered Holy Fire City, he was already wearing a full set of blue equipment, and his weapons and armor were purple in quality.

Killing three people in a row here did not even cost him 1 armor point.

Suddenly.

Brandon’s eyes suddenly widened, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

“This is…”

“Equipment that is above purple quality?!”

[

Armor (orange): Provides 150 additional armor points

Special effect: When the torso is attacked, it will never receive a critical hit effect. However, when the armor points are exhausted, it will not be able to resist the negative effects (including stun, poison, slow, etc.)

Additional skill: When the armor points reach 0, it will reflect the next attack.

Description: When you are attacked, the priority will be to consume the armor value. When the armor value goes down to 0, the HP will be consumed

(Hint: This armor is in a broken state. It can only be used if it is repaired.)

]

“Oh my god!”

Seeing the effect of the orange armor, Brandon’s breathing almost stopped.

What could possibly be better than this?!

The attributes of this equipment were too insane!

The armor value was as high as 150!

Previously, when the armor value was increased by one grade, the armor value was only increased by 25 points. However, when the armor value was increased from purple to orange, the armor value was increased by a whole 50 points!

Moreover, the characteristic of not receiving critical hit damage was now permanent.

In other words, unless the orange armor was taken off, even if the armor value was reduced to 0, one would not receive critical hit damage when hit in the torso.

“So that’s why he was poisoned but didn’t receive a critical hit when I slashed him the second time. It’s the characteristic of the orange armor,” Brandon said in realization.

Not only that!

In addition to the armor value and the characteristic enhancement, there was actually an additional skill!

Reflect damage!

This skill could save lives.

“Infinite invisibility + instant step + orange armor. My self-protection ability will reach the peak!”

Brandon’s face was full of joy. Without any delay, he immediately put on the orange armor.

At the same time, he used [armor repair box (blue)] to fix his armor.

He continued to read.

[

Shoes (purple): + 18 movement speed

Special effect: Immune to slow

]

[

Helmet (purple): -30 head damage

Durability: 2/12

Special effect: Immune to blindness

Description: When wearing a helmet, even if other players attack your head, it will not trigger a critical hit, and the damage will be reduced by 30 points. When the durability value is reduced to 0, this effect will not be activated

]

“Almost all of my equipment is purple!” Brandon was overjoyed.

Compared to when he had just entered Holy Fire City, the quality of his equipment had almost doubled. He even had orange equipment now. The increase was not just ordinary.

Moreover, he had received four kills. All of his attributes had increased by 20 points!

Brandon looked through all five soul tombs. Other than the equipment and consumables, he did not see any skill books.

“Heh, I’m too greedy.”

“In this chaotic battle, it’s already pretty good to be able to upgrade all of my equipment to purple-quality.”

“There are no skill books dropped, so I can’t force it.”

Without a skill book, Brandon changed his consumables to higher-quality consumables.

[First aid kit (purple): Recovers 100% maximum HP] * 2

[Antidote (purple): Dispels poison and reduces the effects of subsequent poisons (duration, damage) to 10%. Duration: 10s] * 4

…

When Brandon saw the purple-quality consumables, he was a little curious about their special characteristics,but they had no special characteristics at all.

Based on this, he guessed that perhaps only purple-quality equipment, and not consumables, had special characteristics.

“It’s so troublesome to not have information. It’s fine for such a small disappointment.”

“But if there’s some very important information that I don’t know, and it ends up killing me, then I’ll really be at a disadvantage.”

“When I go back, I must think of a way to recover my memories.”

Brandon once again felt the inconveniences of not having information. If he had the memory of his past, he would have been much more comfortable in the escape game and would not have felt so lost.

He clicked on the personal information panel.

]

As the equipment took up too much space, Brandon did not plan to bring the extra purple weapon.

In any case, the equipment of those who could walk to Holy Fire City and survive until now would not be too bad.

During this period of time, purple-quality equipment was not as rare as before.

After packing up, Brandon walked towards the direction of the Holy Fire Platform.

At this moment, the sky was already dark. The flames on the Holy Fire Platform illuminated the entire city.

His figure gradually disappeared into the orange flames.

“There are so many people in Holy Fire Platform. If I kill all of them, I might be able to gather a complete set of orange equipment….”
