Juri was sitting looking at a gigantic metal sword.
Naturally she is inside her Dungeon, she does not wish to destroy her home... in fact she ended up destroying it and was forced to go back in time to when she left the portal, since she saved at that point.
The sword is literally the one Akaryor wielded, perhaps stronger from the System having worked its magic, but it is still her!
Juri tried to equip it, too heavy, if not for [Giant Strength], which made her Strength around 1,700, as well as all her buffs of carrying capacity above the demonstrated strength, she would be unable to lift this sword.
But even lifting it, what is she going to do with it?
"There's only one way to deal with it, melt it in the future!" - Said Juri determined, there is no way this sword will be of any use to her, but at least it will turn a lot of materials.
Assenting slightly, Juri got up and left, only to find Luria in the basement.
"... hi..." - Said Juri looking down.
"Hi..." - Said Luria, who soon continued. - "Can you create the Level 150 Dungeon?"
"Sure!" - Said Juri, holding out his hand and activating [Create Dungeon], converted everything and that was it.
"See you later!" - Said Luria already entering the Dungeon.
...
Since what happened in the Dungeon, Juri and Luria's relationship has turned quite sour, they didn't fight that badly, but Luria's trust in Juri has been shaken.
Luria understands that Juri really loves her enough to be selfish and do this to her, Juri doesn't want to lose her, Luria doesn't want that either.
But if Juri had talked to her earlier, a lot would have been fixed, she could have prepared herself better.
Now she is very angry with Juri, for not trusting her to talk about it.
But Luria tries to forgive Juri, thinking from her point of view, a complicated woman who acts childishly
She is so good at lying, it's even annoying, Luria doesn't even know if what she says is true or not, which only made her view of Juri worse.
But she still thought from her point of view, Juri is human, while she can live for almost 3 centuries, about 4 because of Chi, Juri is not like that.
Juri is human and could live around 100~150 years relying on Magic, with Chi, that probably increases to 200~300 Years, the life expectancy of an Elf.
And not to mention that Juri has many enemies and needs to constantly grow, if she were to stay with her protecting and helping the Winter Kingdom, the result would be that Juri would stagnate.
Even though she can level up, she knows that she has limits to what the Dungeon can provide, such as the best items that fall from the BOSSES, are only Epic.
This is something they discovered, maybe it has a very minuscule chance of a Legendary Item falling, but so far it hasn't, only in her world, by killing Normandak, Preyor and others, Juri got Legendary items!
So if they stayed in the Winter Kingdom, maybe in 2 or 3 years, they could reach Level 400, but only they would use Epic Items.
But of course, Epic Items are not weak, a Tier 1~2 set practically gave him 250 Levels in Attributes.
But after wielding Preyor's sword, that Cursed National Relic, she saw that it was all garbage!
The sword alone gave her 1,000 Levels of Attributes, with the ring, that increased to almost 2,000 Levels in Attributes!
That's just from 2 Items, 1 Legendary and 1 Relic!
To achieve this in the territory of the Winter Kingdom would be extremely difficult, perhaps impossible!
Luria doesn't wish to limit her beloved's potential, never that she would wish that, but it was her people, they were in need, she didn't even know if her family is still alive or not.
Even though she is not close to them, it is still her family, her blood and she has some good memories with her parents.
She didn't even have time to try to get a picture of her parents... she really wanted to stop by their house and get one, at least take a picture and frame it.
But Juri took that away from her, and now... she can never go home again, unless she has the power to cross Continents!
But the System has explained to her with Juri's permission, that each continent is very far from each other, even a fleet of Military Ships would be unable to cross, not for inability or fuel, but for the danger at sea!
The sea is certainly full of treasure, for the greater the danger, the greater the rewards, even the System talked about the Tritons, who live at the bottom of the sea.
So knowing this, she understands that it is very difficult to go by sea, as much as by sky... even Neferu or Priscilla in their prime would be incapable of this.
The distance is too great and they would spend too much Energy flying, likely to stop halfway and fall into the sea.
But then she thought about the future, when she and Juri are much more powerful, it will be possible to travel between Continents and maybe the System will help.
Then they can return to the Winter Kingdom...
...…
Days passed, after 2 weeks, Juri went out to meet Pietro!
"Opa!" - Said Juri smiling, Pietro narrowing his eyes in some surprise, as Juri's aura... is much more powerful!
"Are you feeling it? I got stronger!" - Said Juri smiling, but looking at Pietro, he also felt something.
"I see you were successful in manifesting the [Magic Force]!" - Said Juri smiling.
"Yes, strangely enough it has a compatibility with [Negative Energy], thank you very much!" - Said Pietro.
"No problem, I owe you anyway!" - Said Juri waving his hand.
"Oh, almost forgot, keep an eye on anything related to the Cults, the fucking Entities want to kill me!" - Said Juri sighing.
"What?!" - Pietro was surprised.
"I was in the world of Luria, when we came back, the Winter Kingdom, country of the Ice Elves, was suffering a gigantic catastrophe, an extremely powerful being was there, the Entities revived an Ice Elf into a creature that is the mixture of the Elements Blood, Flesh, Bone, Hate and Knowledge!" - Juri sighed and continued explaining.
(Note: It also has "Energy", but Juri didn't know, since Priscila didn't use any Energy Rituals, the only thing she showed was abnormal madness and large reserves of Negative Energy, but in the end they may have many reasons for that!)
"That... doesn't make sense! Entities don't break the rules like that, much less would they give away that much power for free!" - Pietro said seriously.
"Exactly! She was after me, it seems that was the mission given to her, kill me and sacrifice me to the Entities, likely my blood or soul has what they want, maybe that will allow them to break the reality barrier and invade our world more easily, or maybe they have other plans!" - Juri said calmly.
"This is dangerous, if you need it, I can ask a friend to protect you, don't worry, I trust him with my life... even if he is quite eccentric!" - Pietro said seriously.
"No need, I recently reached Special Level in my Paranormal Exposure, just as I reached new heights in my Martial Arts and Magic!" - Said Juri calmly.
"Understood, but be careful, if you need help, talk to me, I can't allow the Other Side to get stronger!" - Said Pietro seriously.
"Don't worry, they'll need more than one crazy bitch to kill me, maybe 2!" - Said Juri scratching his chin, but soon shrugging and calling Pietro to the back of the van.
There Pietro looked at the various Paranormal equipment.
"Each piece of equipment is with a little note, just like you asked, I also put a price on it!" - Juri said calmly.
Pietro nodded and picked up an interesting scimitar, he read its contents, increased strength, attack speed, as well as having a ritual that consumes the wearer's blood so that the blade expands and becomes even sharper and bloodier!
Not to mention that by taking lives, it sucks the remaining vitality of the one it killed to heal its bearer, this can even be used to heal severed limbs without too many side effects!
Pietro kept glancing at the information and noticed the colors, vaguely remembering them.
White = Common
Green = Uncommon
Blue = Rare
Purple = Epic
Along with this, the items would have 1 or 2 scratches, symbolizing Tier 1 and Tier 2!
Tier 1 White items cost 5,000 Credits, Tier 2 items cost 10,000 Credits.
It turns out that Juri has no use for these items, for her, it's all garbage, but as it falls a lot in the Dungeon and gives attribute bonuses, she decided to save it to sell.
Not to mention that these items in the Order, would easily be worth 50,000 to 100,000 Credits!
"Are you sure of this price?" - Pietro asked frowning.
"These items are junk to tell you the truth, I will never use white quality items and I would normally never collect them, but since I thought of you, I decided to start picking them up to sell!" - Said Juri calmly, Pietro nodded.
"I'll take all the White Items I have, as well as the Verds!" - Said Pietro seriously.
Tier 1 Green Items, cost 25,000, Tier 2 cost 60,000.
"That's 83 Tier 1 Whites, 103 Tier 2, totaling 1.4 Million, I rounded down, a small discount!
The Green Items I own are 53 Tier 1 and 80 Tier 2, totaling 6 Million, another discount for you sir!" - Said Juri smiling, a total of 7.4 Million!
Pietro then looked at the Blue items, Tier 1 cost 200,000, Tier 2 cost 500,000!
"Ah, I have a special gift for you, I know you like Katanas, this here dropped and I thought especially of you!" - Said Juri pulling out a very long, red and black Katana from Inventory.
Pietro was surprised and reached out his hand to take it, Juri handed it to him with no problem.
"Uwo..." - Pietro was surprised feeling a strange power flooding through him.
But it wasn't just that, he noticed that there is something more to this sword.
"Can I test it?" - He asked showing some animation.
Juri laughed and said. - "It's yours!"
Pietro just nodded and stepped back a bit, he put the sword around his waist, stood in a Samurai-like plundering posture, then drew the sword and slashed towards an old toy!
The blade of the Katana suddenly generated large amounts of red and purple flames, an abnormally strange and crazed sound rang out, before everything went silent!
But after the silence came a loud explosion as red flames exploded, the toy was split in two, its top half flying off due to the explosion as the fire spread.
Pietro raised an eyebrow, looking at the sword that had faint red flames enveloping it.
"Is that from Energy and Blood?" - Pietro asked curiously.
"Yep!" - Said Juri smiling, even though the Energy Element is very chaotic and everyone has great prejudice about it, it is still a powerful Element with destructive capabilities that hardly other Elements can match.
Juri got the [Katana of the Bloody Flame Oni(Epic) - Tier 2], it came from a Level 150 Dungeon, the one who gave it to him was Luria, who was curious.
She said she killed a humanoid being with red skin and long horns, a really powerful BOSS, but in the end, it's only Level 150 and she was carrying its Chi!
Thus fell this powerful Katana that when injected with a little Negative Energy or Mana, whichever you prefer, will generate powerful flames that are of the Energy and Blood Element of the Paranormal.
But that's if you use Negative Energy, if you use Mana, it will be Fire (Magic) and Blood (Paranormal).
A combination of Magic and Paranormal, something Juri would have thought impossible, until he met Filanodora, who made it obvious that she mixed the Element of Death with her Magic!
Juri really wanted to know how, but decided not to waste time, she feels that if she can raise her [Negative Energy Control] to Tier 2, or her [Paranormal Knowledge] to something more Advanced, she will know how.
"Are you sure I can keep this?" - Pietro asked, as he saw the immense power of this sword, maybe even Rouseph would be envious of something like that.
"You can have it, it's free! I've wanted to give you something like this in the past, but I could never get something that matched you, even though I still think you have a physical build more suited to be one of those European Knights than someone who uses Samurai Katanas, but well, you're the one who likes it, why should I complain?" - Juri said shrugging.
Pietro smiled and said. - "Youth... 100 years ago, when I was about 15, I witnessed the demonstration of a famous Samurai of the time, I was ecstatic at that sight and fell in love with Katanas, since then I practiced, got involved with the Order and here I am!"
Juri was surprised at Pietro suddenly saying that, so she smiled and said. - "That's something you didn't tell me before, even though you told me about your daughter."
Pietro was surprised when Juri said this, but he only nodded, then he reached out his arm and picked up something, a sheath!
He looked at it, compared it to the sword, and said. - "It won't fit!"
"Trust me!" - Juri said smiling.
Pietro was still in doubt, but he put it on and... the sword of about 2 meters long fit into the scabbard of about 1 meter!
"How?" - He asked surprised.
"This item I have 5 in my Inventory, they are called [Space Sealing Scabbards], they hold any kind of blade as long as it has a similar shape, the one I handed you and for Katana, but I have some from other weapons here.
But the focus is, this scabbard distorts space and allows you to store up to 5 times its size, as well as accelerates the weapon's draw speed by 50%, not to mention it seals the sword's energy and to everyone, it will look like something very ordinary!" - Juri said smiling.
Pietro nodded, then noticed something and asked. - "I didn't realize it until now, but didn't you come with it?"
"We're quarreling!" - Said Juri sighing.
Pietro narrowed his eyes and said. - "Well... if you want to say something, I'll listen..."
Juri smiled, then started talking, she even brought some items for them to eat while they talked.
In the middle of this, some Agents came and picked up the fallen items, Juri and Pietro continued talking for a while, before saying goodbye.
And at the end of the transaction, Juri acquired 28.5 Million Credits, along with the more than 15 Million she had, she has a total of 43.5 Million Credits!
