[The Defense Fragment of Arkham(Artifact)(Rare)]

[When the war between Nevas and Arkhams started, the Arkhams had many offensive and defensive strategies to win that war. One of their niche strategies, however, still stayed as an integral part of their core. This Defense Fragment is crafted by one of the most skilled craftsmen of Arkham and has power that runs deep within the planet of Arcadia.

Effects:

(1) When this artifact is placed in an area, a shield covers the area of 100 meters around the artifact, preventing the entry of any living being.

(2) The shield lasts for 24 hours before it needs to be on cooldown for 2 hours.

(3) Within the area covered by the shield, the regeneration power of all the allies increases by 200%.

(4) When the shield gets broken, every ally gains a passive shield that could absorb damage to an equal amount of the health of the allies within the area.

(5) Arkham's Revenge: If the shield gets broken, every ally within the area gets their energy and defense upped by 300% for 20 minutes]

"Good investment," I thought before checking the amount of Cronas I had left

[Total Cronas: 12500]

Then I began checking the [Shop] for anything related to UV or something, but sadly, either they were too costly or too useless in this situation.

After searching in the Weapons, Skills, Armor Section, I finally looked into the [Room] Section, hoping to find something in there.

"Fucking finally!" I spoke out as I found something that would work better for me

[UV Lamp(Uncommon)]

[Just your normal UV-Lamp with a tinge of enchantments

Effect:

(1) Burn all the enemies who belong to darkness. Attack power: 5000/second

(2) It's healing effect restores the plants around and also heals allies at the rate of 500HP/ second

(3) Can continuously function for as long as it isn't damaged.

Cost: 10,000 Cronas]

Looking at that, I nodded before cashing this one out as well.

As for the rest of the 2500 Cronas, I decided to upgrade the efficiency of the dungeon for 1000 and save the rest for later.

[Efficiency Increase:

Current Efficiency: 11% (Grade 0A)historical

Cost of increasing the efficiency by 1%: 10,000 Cronas]

"Now that is all done.. let's check outside," I spoke as I let myself out and saw that Irene had already set up the whole UV-Light thing. Though as soon as I opened up my eyes, the ground started shaking really heavily.

"What.. is.. going..on?" Irene, confused, widened her eyes, but before she could speak anymore, the rumbling stopped and she just looked at me.

Already knowing what happened, I looked at her with a smile,"I guess I found a way to survive the night. Sorry, but can you remove the UV-Light? We are moving."

Hearing my voice, her eyes shook for a moment, but even though skeptical, she decided to trust me and started removing all the UV-Light at a rapid speed.

"About 10 minutes till sundown, huh?" I spoke out loud before she finished removing those UV-Lights and said,"they are coming!"

Using the [Space Time Map], I did see some strange things coming towards us at a rapid speed. Even my Stats were multiplied by 10 times, indicating the strength of the enemy.

"What are we-" she was questioning with a worried face but I immediately took her in my arms and began running to the [Dungeon of Libra]

"Huh?!" Her shocked eyes just looked at my sudden increased speed as I was running and behind us those beings the NightCrawlers were coming towards us at a rapid speed. Even though I was using this speed with these monstrous Stats, I still couldn't outrun them at all.

Looking at the map, there were at least 50 of them, and their number was ever increasing. Looking at the front, I saw the Dungeon of Libra, or more like the Libra building, standing tall among the piles of rubbles.

"What.. is that?" Questioned Irene as she too observed the Libra building and I just answered with a smile,"my domain," and ran with all my might before reaching inside the building.

And as soon as I did that, I took out the item.

[UV Lamp(Uncommon)]

And placed it right in front of me. Turning around, I saw a couple of NightCrawlers almost reaching us, then catching on fire, before finally turning into ashes.

It wasn't just them, but every other NightCrawler that was coming towards us burned down to ashes as well.

NightCrawlers were like Lickers, but completely charred in black and their skin was slimy with ashes flying out of it slowly. It felt like I was looking at the demons from hell itself.

[Inspect!]

[NightCrawler (B-Grade)]

[Beings of the night that have evolved from the Darkness. They have lost their powers to stay in the sun, in an exchange for superior powers. However, their bloodlust has taken over them and they would attack any living being they find in the vicinity.

Reward for Killing: +75,000 Exp]

Slowly I put Irene down, as she just looked at those NightCrawlers burning as they went closer to the UV-Light before some of them who were far away actually started running.

Not wasting time, I took out

[The Defense Fragment of Arkham(Artifact)(Rare)]

And a golden shield formed around us at a distance of 100 meters and I finally sighed in relaxation as I spoke,

"Now we are more or less safe."

-Thud!

Irene fell down with exhaustion as she looked at those creatures running away from here. It wasn't just that.. the UV-Lamp was really bright.. it was bright enough to light up at least 500 meters of distance.

"Hmmm.. All right. Now that we are safe.." I spoke as I turned to Irene, who was still as dumbfounded as before. She still couldn't process what was going on around her. Her eyes shifted from the UV-Light, then to the Artifact that I just took out, before reaching up to me.

"Ummm.. you okay?" I asked, and she looked at me with a questioning face as she asked,"who.. are you?"

"The name is Michael. I.. well, I have my situation here. What about you?" I asked with a friendly voice and she bowed her head down for a little before speaking,

"Irene.. Irene Campbell. Thank you for saving me, Michael."

Then her eyes turned up to me and spoke out directly,"I might sound a bit selfish.. but can you please help me with something? My life depends upon it.."
