I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

56 – Late Night in Black

I looked down at the jet-black jeweled brooch.

‘When this came out, it was such an amazing item that I took my breath away…. It was an item that could be said to be a kind of ‘end item’ that would be useful right now, and its effect would not fade even in the latter half of the year.’

Item: A black robe for late night.

Rating: S+

Description: A tiny piece of night that fell from the deepest, darkest night sky.

It has the form of a substance, but it has the property of a transforming material that does not have a clear form.

It has the characteristics of a night that embraces all things.

– It ‘halves’ the damage caused by all physical and attribute attacks.

– For 10 seconds, acquires ‘immunity’ to the selected attribute. For 5 minutes after this, the item’s ability is ‘disabled’.

It has very few abilities, only two for an S+ class item, but…

‘It’s no exaggeration to say that each of those abilities is almost equivalent to an S-class trait.’

Should I say that it is an S+ grade item?

The first ability was very simple, but just as powerful.

‘Half all damage…. In other words, it’s a terrifying effect of always 50% damage cut.’

If I combine this effect with my high elemental resistance…

‘Even if I get hit with moderate magic, I can’t do a single damage to me?’

The higher the attribute value, the more resistance to the attribute.

If I wear this item because all attribute values are over 80 due to [Cheap Change], I will be able to reduce the damage to attributes by 70%.

‘… Well, as the level of magic increases, the firepower increases exponentially, and this clothing itself is a kind of cloth, except for the ability, the defense itself is low, so magic of higher level or higher is dangerous even if it halves damage….’

The second ability is to be used at such times.

‘To test the second ability, I deliberately hit the advanced magic that the platinum mercenary mage Gaper used last….’

Befitting the effect of ‘immunity’, even though it was a high-level magic, it didn’t do me any damage.

‘To put it simply, the second ability is limited to elemental attacks… It can be called an ‘invincibility’ that lasts for 10 seconds.’

Though 10 seconds doesn’t seem that long.

For those who have reached the level of a superman, it is a long enough time to compete with dozens of sums.

‘Of course, using the second ability has the downside of inactivating the item’s ability for the next 5 minutes, so I have to use it at the decisive moment.’

Even that said, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a tremendous ability.

‘Hmm—. Anyway, I finished the mercenary registration, magic use test, and equipment performance test. On the next schedule… ‘Is it my turn to go there?’

“Change.”

Shrulook-

I changed my late-night black robe from a brooch to a robe, and put on the mask I had left on the desk.

“Let’s go, Baek.”

“sh*t! (Yes!)”

When I reached out to Baek-myeon, who was coiled on the desk, Baek-myeon climbed up my arm and wrapped itself around his neck.

“Shhh…? (Where are we going this time, master?)”

“Huh? Ah, this time…”

I took out a business card from my pocket and showed it to Baekmyeon, who asked with curiosity in his innocent eyes.

A business card with an impressive black cat drawn in gold on luxurious black paper.

“I’m just going to see my friend’s mother.”

******

‘… Is this place?’

I looked up at the building in front of me.

According to the contents of the strategy guide, the shop in front of you is a shop connected to the ‘secret’.

‘… But I can’t believe it’s a jewelry store.’

Isn’t it usually the same as a pub?

I didn’t express it outwardly, but I opened the door and entered with a strange feeling that my romance was broken.

Kikki-

“Welcome! Welcome to the jewelry shop ‘Chateoyancy’!”

As I opened the door and entered, a clerk with a pleasant impression greeted me politely.

Sug-

The clerk greeted me politely, but was examining my clothes so casually that it was hard to notice.

‘Well, jewelry itself is a high-value item, and it’s a store that handles valuable items that go into high-end magic tools, so it’s natural.’

I have no idea what to say about it. In the first place, the clerk’s observation was so natural that only a person with excellent senses would not know about it.

“Ah! You are a famous wizard! Are you by any chance looking for magic tools or jewels needed for magic staff? If so, welcome! The quality of our Chatoyancy’s jewels is the best in the city, so we can take pride in it. I bet you can buy jewels worthy of a wizard!”

The clerk looked at my robe and judged that I was a wizard who had come to look for jewels to use in making magic tools.

“What kind of jewel do you need? If you are in need of a fire-type jewel, you have come to the right place! The highest quality ruby containing high-purity firearms collected from the extremely salty zone in the volcano of Man-yung, one of the foremost frontlines of mankind. Was just worn yesterday! A very rare item that you cannot even see unless you are lucky enough to buy a gem like this! If you miss this opportunity now, you will never get it again!”

A clerk who casually guides me into the store and speaks dazzlingly.

For most people, just listening to the clerk’s words was a great way to open a wallet.

‘It’s a speech technique that doesn’t mean much to me, who didn’t come here to buy jewelry in the first place.’

I interrupted the clerk recommending jewelry.

“If what you’re looking for is an earth element gem, even if it doesn’t come close to the top quality ruby I just introduced, the top quality topaz from the nearby Metasla Mine…”

“……I came to find a reservation product.”

“…Ah! Are you here to find a product! Please wait a moment. I’m sure, here’s the reserved guest list…”

Flutter-flutter-

After hearing my words, the clerk took out a notebook from his pocket and started looking through it.

The clerk looked at the notebook and asked me.

“Could you tell me what product you reserved? If you tell me, I’ll find it right away.”

To the clerk who asked me that, I spoke the secret phrase to the information store ‘Secret Temple’.

“A cat’s eye stone bathed in the moonlight of Jawol.”

“…….”

… Tall.

Flutter- Flutter-

The clerk, who hesitated a little when he heard the phrase, started handing over the notebook naturally again.

“Ah, I’ve found it. If it’s the jewel, it must have been the day before yesterday. Then, could you show me the proof of purchase?”

“…….”

Sug-

I silently handed out the black business card I had received from Nice.

“Okay. Then please wait. I’ll check it.”

The clerk who took the business card soon pulled out a transparent rectangular case from his pocket.

A case large enough to fit a business card into.

“…….”

Let the clerk carefully put the business card into the case

Sue-

As if white paper touched water mixed with paint, the black business card began to be dyed a clear purple color.

“Yes. I’ve checked. Then come this way. I put it in a special safe because it’s a precious jewel.”

“…….”

The clerk checked the purple business card and gave it back to me. He pointed to the iron door in the back of the store and led me towards it.

From noble mtl dot com

A dozen or so complicated locks were attached to the iron door that was approaching.

Not only did it have complex mechanical locks, but seeing that some of them had magical powers, it seemed that locks using magic were also mixed in.

“Wait a minute.”

Weeing- Click-

Druck- tadadak-

The clerk stopped me and approached the iron door, bringing his eyes close to the crystal attached to the iron door, dropping a drop of blood, drawing a certain picture with magic, and so on.

I started to unlock the lock, using my hands busily.

─Clap!

Soon, the iron door opened with a heavy sound.

“Come in.”

After following the clerk into the iron door, there was a larger space than expected.

At both ends of the room, which looked to be dozens of pyeong, there were long showcases along the walls.

Inside the transparent showcase, gems that looked good at a glance were scattered with light that stimulated people’s greed.

“This way.”

But the clerk didn’t even look at it, he only guided me into the depths of the room.

Jeobeok-jeobeok-

Tak-

The clerk’s footsteps stopped at an ordinary wall without any features.

And the clerk approached the wall

Knock- Knock- Knock- Knock-

Let’s hit the wall with a certain beat.

───

Without making any sound, a secret passage large enough for one person to enter appeared on the empty wall.

“You can go in alone from here. Then, I’m done.”

Nodding off

As she said that, the clerk lowered her head and left.

“…….”

I confirmed that the clerk had disappeared from sight, and stepped out into the dark aisle.

Judge-

I couldn’t even see the floor I was stepping on, wondering if a special ability was hanging all over the secret passage.

The time when I tried to create light using at least light magic.

Hwaruk-

In the distance, a blue flame the size of a fist burning in the air, like a demon’s fire, appeared.

Hwaruk-Hwaruk-

As I cast my gaze, the demon fire made several rounds and circles in the air.

‘… Are you asking me to follow you?’

As I approached it, the ogre’s fire also began to move forward, harming the darkness.

Hwaruk-Hwaruk-

Jeobeok-jeobeok-

The goblin fire moving forward while maintaining a certain distance from me seemed to go in a straight line along the road from the outside, but….

It was hard to perceive even with the senses of a superman, and he was moving forward, turning very little.

It interlocked with this place, where one could not see an inch ahead, and naturally distorted the walker’s sense of direction.

‘If it wasn’t for the golden sense, it would be hard for me to go back.’

I wonder if he walked for about 5 minutes with the goblin fire as his guide.

Hwaruk-Hwaruk-

Puss-

The ogre’s fire stopped in place, flickering several times as if it had done its job before disappearing.

But there was no need to panic.

Because I already saw the destination before the demon fire disappeared.

A few dozen steps away, as the ogre’s fire disappeared, under the only light source in the darkness.

“…….”

Sweep-Sweep-

A mysterious woman was stroking a distinctive purple-haired cat curled up on her lap.

I couldn’t tell what she looked like because I had her hood pulled over her head.

The line above her clothes made it clear that she was a woman.

“…….”

Push-

I went over to it and sat down on the sofa across from her lady.

The woman in the hood who had been staring at me since I walked in, no…

“Whoa, what kind of information did you come to our night cat’s realm?”

Head of the Catsy family, Bastet Catsy said playfully, her purple eyes resembling amethyst shining.
