So the person for whom Gozer was waiting here in the waiting room must have been Luke. I guess that should not be all that surprising, since it is nothing unusual for the nobles to take part in the auctions organized by the Merchants Guild through the brokers and middlemen just like the rest of us common folk do. And since he knows Luke, then I guess that has to mean that Luke must have some connections to the Hartz Duchy.
I guess you can say so.
Is that so? Then please excuse my intrusion.
Gozer then left along with his two subordinates, who were accompanying Luke. They were also elves, and of the especially good-looking variety at that.
Damn you, pretty boys! Damn you all to hell, truly!
*Sigh* Are all elves as good looking as these guys?
It would seem so.
Roxanne replied to my weary comment without any particular expression on her face and speaking incredibly matter-of-factly. From the looks of it, it appears that she is was not interested in them at all, which made me feel relieved. The last thing that I want in my life is Roxanne getting NTRed by some pretty-looking elven fag.
An elf and a broker, what a perfect combination.
Oh no! Sherry seems to be interested I them! What should I do? Should I start worrying? Or maybe try to somehow persuade her that noting good will come from her being interested in elven ikemen, or maybe I should play my Master Card and outright forbid her to associate herself with any Elven men? For the time being, maybe I should try asking her what exactly did she mean by the words perfect combination.
Perfect combination?
To put it really simply, it is an item that allows its user to perform a suicide attack.
A suicide attack? That sounds pretty scary.
If you use Orb of Self Destruction, you inflict massive damage to your opponent in exchange for your own life. It is being advertised as a perfect method of self defense when everything else fails and you do not want to simply allow monsters from the Labyrinths to kill you without putting up a fight, but I have not heard about many people actually using it.
Well, I can definitely see why that would be.
After all, even if it is meant to be used a s a weapon of last resort, I think we are all going to agree that you would have to be a very special kind of insane to actually want to use something that would wipe out all of your enemies but ended up killing you in the process of doing so.
and how exactly does that item work? The attack that it triggers, I mean.
When it comes to The Orb of Self Destruction and how it works, it seems to be causing a huge explosion that ends up obliterating the user and everything around him, leaving only the bloodstains on the floor and walls behind.
Wow, that sounds like a pretty terrifying item, so I definitely do not want to have anything to do with it, and even think about what would have happened if someone were to use such a dangerous tool incorrectly or irresponsibly. Yeah, the best thing that you can do when you come across something like that is to just leave it be and do not touch it at all. That would be one less problem to worry about for you and everyone in your immediate surroundings.
Ahh, so that must have been what one of the Bandits who attacked the Slave Shop in Vale used when master found him dead in one of those rooms on the first floor, right? He even looked extremely similarly to what Sherry was describing when it came to how much blood was left from him.
Roxanne remarked when she picked up on mine and Sherrys talk. Yes, she is talking about that one guy whom I have found in one of the rooms on the first floor of Alan-sans Slave Shop, the one that I have defeated by using the Equivalent ExchangeSkill from the repertoire of the Bonus Spells section of my Bonus Skills. When I used that Skill on him, there really was nothing left of him aside from that bloody smear on the rooms walls and floor. And apparently the usage of The Orb of Destruction would have had pretty much the same effect.
Damn.
Of course, on that night in the Slave Shop, it was not the Bandit that used The Orb of Self Destruction, but it was the result of me using Equivalent Exchange, but I guess that from the perspective of someone who was not there the entire time and did not see it all happen, the difference between one and the other would probably be pretty much indistinguishable. Back then, when I first saw what happened to that poor sap when the spell got to him, I told myself that I should not be using it at all, but with how the current situation has developed, I think that I can start employing that Spell again and then cheat both the system and those around me by saying that said enemy used The Orb of Self Destruction.
Are there any restrictions or limitations for as to how The Orb of Self Destruction can work?
