Chapter 28: Talent

Gonty, a bodyguard, took the Power Gloves.

Afterward, Rin moved beside the 2nd Cyan patterned treasure chest and opened it.

A cyan orb appeared, which had a bow weapon.

A green bow with a tiny vine weaved around its body.

***

[Druid's Bow(Rare): Consume 5 to 30 mana points to shoot an arrow. Hitting a team member will heal them, and hitting an enemy will deal them wood-attributed damage. ]

-Damage depends on the Strength and Magic stats of the user and mana used to produce an arrow.

-Heal depends on the Health and Magic stats of the user and mana used to produce an arrow.

"Who can use a bow here?" Erix asked as he looked at others.

"I can use it," Serina said before throwing her long Baton to a bodyguard, "Ponty, you use this."

The bodyguard named Ponty caught the Baton and swung it in the air a few times before grinning, "This is more suitable for me."

The Baton was of lightning attribute and had a chance to numb enemies where they get hit by the Baton.

Rin gave the bow to Serina and said, "This bow produces magic arrows by consuming mana. So it won't be usable for constant use. You still need a normal weapon that doesn't consume mana."

Serina looked at the bow's information and frowned. "Minimum five mana per arrow? That's expensive. Alright, I'll use Jacob's sword as a normal weapon."

"Jacob, give me your swor-"Serina turned her head while speaking but suddenly realized Jacob was no longer alive.

The atmosphere turned heavy as Lena became tearful again but held back and wiped her face before saying to Rin, "Rin, please continue."

One of the bodyguards named Jonty gave Jacob's sword to Serina.

On the other hand, Rin opened a blue patterned treasure chest (Rare).

A blue orb appeared, which turned into a palm-sized stone tablet with eccentric symbols.

[ Defense Talent Stone: Put a drop of your blood on the stone to active the stone tablet, which will give you a random defense-type talent. ]

"Sister Isabella can use this. Her defensive skill has helped us a lot, so I think this talent might enhance her protective capability, " Rin said after showing the item's details to everyone.

"No problem," Lena nodded.

Serina and the bodyguards also nodded. Isabella's Frost Shield had indeed helped them a lot.

Rin helped Isabella make a small cut on her thumb to drop blood on the stone tablet and activate the item.

The stone tablet started glowing before it turned into motes and entered Isabella's forehead at a blinding speed.

Isabella felt a slight headache before she heard a sound in her head.

[You have awakened a talent, Renewed Defense ]

[ Renewed Defense (Rare talent): After your projectile defensive skill is destroyed, It instantly renews with half its initial effects and properties. If the renewed defensive skill is destroyed, it won't renew again. ]

Isabella showed her talent to everyone with a thought as they saw a small window of talent's description appearing outside like a hologram. n/-0VelBIn

"I see, so talents are like that. This one can enhance skills and is quite powerful." Erix was impressed as he continued, "Renewing a defensive skill with half of its effects and properties without any cost is big."

"I just checked. It seems we can only have three talents max," Isabella said after she asked the question in her head and got an answer in a monotone female voice.

"Talents seem hard to get anyway," Rin said with a wry smile before she moved to the last treasure chest.

It was the 2nd blue patterned treasure chest, and after opening it, everyone saw a blue orb with a talisman image in it.

Rin touched the orb, which turned into a yellow talisman with eccentric red symbols.

***

[ Fire Talisman (Rare): Infuse 1 mana point to activate it. You can control it with your index finger after throwing it, and it will explode in a five-meter radius upon hitting the first thing to deal 2000 flat damage that ignores defense. ]

-Note: It will not damage this world's native beings and will only work on zombies, mutated beasts, and other monsters below level 100.

"Alright, this item is like that Jeep. I'll hold on to it for now. Or, if any of you want to hold on to it, I don't have any problem," Erix said as he glanced at everyone from Lena and Serina to all bodyguards.

Toshin was resting inside the Jeep, so he was not participating in the distribution.

"You should hold on to it."

Lena decided on behalf of everyone, and with an understanding expression, she continued, "You can fly and use it better than us. Even in the fight, you three had the highest contribution."

"Yep. You can use it better," Serina said with a nod.

"Now, let's move on to the last three things, the black orbs."

Saying that, Rin moved towards the black orbs with anticipation in her eyes.

The black orbs were mysterious since they couldn't see anything, as there was only a whirl of chaotic black clouds inside.
