The Prince of Heaven's Gate - Last Stand At World's End

Lux was still inside his tent even when the sun had slowly set in the horizon.

He had busied himself with drafting out a plan in order to win against Orobak with the least casualties possible. After he finished doing that, he then sorted through the items that Eiko had taken from Orobak’s room. The Half-Elf was quite surprised by the goodies she managed to bring back with her. Some of them provided extra stats.

All the bone amulets, as well as the tooth amulets, that Eiko had taken with her had stats, which was an unexpected boon to Lux. However, there was just one big problem.

“Only Orcs can wear them?” Lux scratched his head for the umpteenth time due to the unreasonable requirements that the amulets had.

Most of them gave an additional +10 points to a certain stat, which made them quite valuable. Unfortunately, since only Orcs could wear them, Lux’s plan to overgear himself was put on hold.

‘I’ll just let Barca wear them,’ Lux thought. ‘That way, he can increase his stats before the final confrontation. After that, I’ll take them back with me, so I can transmute them all to make an overpowered accessory. I knew that my Skill Item Transmutation [EX] would come in handy.”

Lux understood the value of this skill, and was quite grateful to have it. The only reason he hadn’t managed to abuse it was due to his lack of resources, as well as lack of equipment that had stats, or abilities that he could transfer.

“Now, time to open this wooden chest,” Lux muttered as he opened the wooden chest that Eiko had taken with her as well. “I wonder what is inside.”_-.

The first thing that Lux took out from the wooden crate was a dagger. It looked very crude, and yet its simplicity held a certain charm of its own. Lux used the Elysium Compendium that had merged with his Soul Book to appraise it and his jaw almost dropped after reading its information.

< Beloved’s Memento >

Rarity: Mythical

– This crude dagger once belonged to Barca’s Mother. Due to her sacrifice, some of her stats were transferred to this dagger at the moment of her death.

Requirement: The effect of this dagger will only activate if it is equipped by the Half-Orc, Barca.

+50 to all Stats

“T-This!” Lux couldn’t believe what he was seeing. A mythical dagger that could increase the wearer’s stats by 50 points was something that you didn’t see everyday. Unfortunately, this was a weapon that was exclusively for Barca, which made Lux’s teeth ache.

Setting the dagger to the side, Lux then unfurled one of the scrolls inside the wooden crate.

“A single-use magic scroll,” Lux muttered as he looked at the scroll in his hand. “Not bad. I can use this.”

Single-use magic scrolls were scrolls that allowed anyone to activate the Spell that was inscribed on it. They could be thought of as hand grenades or other similar consumables that could be used to deal great damage to one’s enemies.

Lux checked the scrolls one by one and was pleasantly surprised to see five Rank 3 Fire Blast Spells that could be used to deal great damage to an enemy.

After setting the scrolls aside, Lux then picked up one of the gems that was inside the crate. They were just ordinary gems, which could be sold for a decent price to merchants. After making sure that all of the gems had nothing special about them, Lux then opened the ornate wooden box that he had saved for last.

Inside it was a Medallion.

Upon closer inspection, Lux could tell that this item didn’t belong to the Orcs. The Medallion was well-crafted making it impossible for the Orcs to produce such a thing.

After using appraisal, the Orc Medallion’s origin came to light.

—–

Avetia Kingdom’s Elite Cavalry Medallion.

Rarity: Mythical

Requirement: Only for Professions that specialize in mounted combat.

– When wielding a spear, you will be able to use the skill Hero’s Charge.

+20 to All Stats for any classes that allows you to fight while mounted on a beast.

+10% increase to mobility, and physical attack.

+100 to Physical Attack.

< Hero’s Charge >

– If your enemy is bigger than you, it deals an additional 100% damage to your target. Can only be used when mounted on a beast.

‘This one is better. At least, Diablo can use it,’ Lux thought as he stared at the Medallion with a smile.

The Half-Elf immediately equipped the Medallion to Diablo, making his Named Creature stronger than it ever was before.

Now that everything had been sorted out, Lux left the tent and started looking for Tanabur’s men. Since the sun was no longer up, it was now time to execute his plan.

Barca was still recovering from his injuries, and according to Baronar, it would still take him a day to fully recover. Lux thought that this was fine since he was still in the process of executing his plan.

After looking for the Orc Warlord, the latter looked at Lux weirdly before reluctantly nodding his head.

Half an hour later, Lux, alongside a hundred Orc Riders, rode towards the Stronghold where the Orc Chieftain was. Their plan was not to fight him, but to create a battlefield that would tilt the favor to their side.

Although Lux didn’t know whether his plan would work or not, it was still better than doing nothing at all.

They only had one enemy remaining before he and his friends could clear the dungeon and go home. Since that was the case, he needed to put a lot of effort in order to make sure that all of them would be able to clear the dungeon, while making sure that their heads would remain attached to their bodies after fighting the Orc Chieftain one last time.
