Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Opening the treasure chest
Translator: 549690339
“Purgatory Monk – Togu!? A main quest change?”
Not just Cass.
Even Sophia, who had been born into a prestigious family, had never heard of such ‘absurd’ things… a direct change to the main quest, and also a difficulty increase.
“We should first wait in the Clown House. We can talk about the specific situation when the clown comes back.”
“Ok…Aron! You’re in charge of leading the team from now on.”
Cass swiftly transferred the title of ‘team leader’ to Han Dong.
After all, he knew nothing about the specifics of the situation… during this period, he had cooperated with Sophia to finish some subplots regarding the clown.
Now that the main plot has changed, these clues have become rather useless.
The Clown House, also a villa painted with seven colors, was located at the end of the ‘disappeared street’.
Han Dong pulled out a red balloon from his waist, then stuffed it into the keyhole!
The seal on the door voluntarily unlocked itself, and everyone successfully entered the clown’s hideout.
If the story develops normally, team members who’ve collected enough clues will clash in a final battle with the clown here… but the situation has completely changed.
This Clown House will serve as their final fortress.
Before the clown returns, Han Dong must do a bit of preparation…just in case Derry Town completely falls.
“Koslin, can you make heat-resistant equipment?”
“If we use materials from this world, Sophia must assist me. During the forging process, we have to embed the formations from their ‘Library’ – some magic that can resist fire or cold spells.”
“Fine! Let Bella take you to the town’s smithy, try to produce as many pieces of heat-resistant equipment as possible, preferably one for each of us.”
“Sure!”
We need to act without delay.
The parasitic body, Bella, quickly led Koslin and Sophia on their way.
“The clown can tear open a three-layer thick iron door with his bare hands, and this suddenly appearing Purgatory Monk seems to be even stronger… Cass, do you have any trump cards? Otherwise, it would be very dangerous for you to engage in close combat with this kind of being.”
With just the two of them alone, Han Dong wanted Cass to show him his hand.
“I do… but we have to wait for the clown to return, so that we could fully understand the Purgatory Monk’s situation.
If the target is related to ‘Hell’, we, The Crusaders, to a certain extent, can restrain him by attribute… I should be able to barely face him in combat.”
“Well, that’s good.”
Han Dong then brought out the ‘Sleep Potion’ he prepared beforehand.
“Cass, you will be the only one who can fight the Purgatory Monk in close combat, apart from the clown… hurry and get some rest! Make sure you’re in the best condition.”
“Alright.”
Cass put one hand on Han Dong’s shoulder.
“If we can get out of this alive, I’ll treat everyone to a lavish knight-grade feast on the third floor… if something happens to me, I hope you will continue to take care of Fiya for me, don’t find her troublesome. She is a rare talent-type priest apprentice, once she grows up to be a knight, she will be a top-tier healer.”
Who knew.
Han Dong didn’t respond at all.
Instead, he drew upon a bit of a ghoul’s power and landed a punch on Cass’ chest.
Ache!
Cass held his chest, his face full of confusion.
“Don’t curse yourself! If the main quest remains unchanged, some of us might get hurt! After all, the clown has fully taken control of Derry Town… but it’s different now, even if Purgatory Monk Togu is slightly stronger, it’s his first time here.
Also, we have the clown, a powerful ally.
If you can’t take it anymore, retreat! Don’t push yourself! At the age of 14, your physical condition and strength can’t compare to your peak period, you have to remember this.”
Hearing Han Dong care about him so much,
Cass laughed heartily: “Haha, got it! I’ll try my best not to fight recklessly… I’ll go to sleep now.”
“Phew…”
After making arrangements for his teammates,
Han Dong took a deep breath and headed to the attic at the top of the Clown House.

An ancient book marked with ‘Derry Town’ and a treasure chest emitting a faint blue glow showed up in front of Han Dong.
After taking care of the book.
Han Dong rubbed his hands, preparing to open the treasure box… A piece of fine equipment that matched his attributes could greatly increase his strength.
Click!
When the lock sounded, Han Dong soon felt the excitement.
The equipment inside the box worth thousands of coppers, which was fundamentally different from high-quality items.
The moment the treasure box was opened.
Unexpectedly, a fresh surge of water spilled out.
“This is!”
A ring with a coral base and inlaid with a sea-blue crystal floated in the center of the treasure chest filled with water.
The Fate System also gave the relevant attributes for the first time when the treasure box was opened.
“Congratulations on obtaining the accessory ‘Coral Seal’ (Blue)”
Fate Equipment – ‘Coral Seal’
Type: Ring
Quality: Fine
Basic Attributes: Slightly increases the control of Water Series magic, moderately increases magic resistance.
Equipment Special Effect:
‘Sea Seal’ (Active Skill) – You can brand the ocean’s mark on any weapon (requires moderate energy consumption).
The mark lasts half an hour, and depending on the type of the weapon, the effects are different.
Swords and axes (blade type): Give ‘water attribute’ damage to the weapon, with a certain probability to unleash an ‘Ocean Tide Attack’.
Clubs and shields (blunt type): Give ‘water attribute’ damage to the weapon, with a certain probability to unleash a ‘Sea Turtle Shell’.
Magic artifacts: Reduce the casting time of Water Series magic, with a certain probability to launch ‘Double Casting’.
Note: The mark can only be added once during its duration.
‘Ocean Shield’ (Passive Skill) – When the main body is attacked, the ring will automatically generate an ocean shield, which will reduce the damage received by the main body.
This shield has a higher resistance to Water Series or Fire Magic, can reduce the damage by up to 30%, the damage from other sources can be reduced by up to 15%.
The ocean shield is not always present, after sustaining a certain amount of damage it will automatically turn off. Subsequently, you can consume your own energy to keep the shield on.)
