Free End Online: Volume 2 by D. Wolfin Page A

some
crazy laugh was the only way to restrain my anxiety and stop my legs from
shaking.
    This was a game, there was no gore, not much pain, yet right in
front of me I almost lost Fen forever.
    I kept some distance now that the boss monster had the 'aggro'
status, leading it away from my downed companion.
    With Fen out of danger, I start launching my high speed attacks
again, treating its defence like paper. I couldn’t create the
afterimage but I landed multiple critical hits, and barely received any damage
thanks to only striking as I pass by the boss, out of reach by the time it
could react.
    Once Grigor's health reached five percent, he underwent a change
in his attacks. Swinging his club in a frenzy, I was taken by surprise at the
ferocity of it.
    But the attack is not enough to finish me, as soon as the
cudgel came swinging in my direction the contest was over. The weapon
passed right through me, or at least, it passed right through a mirage of me.
    While being surprised, I did not lose my composure. Silently
activating 'Back Stab' and using two swords, eradicate the
remainder of Grigor's health.
    The massive goblin drops to his knees. Falling face first on the
ground and signifying the end of the battle. The corner of my view showing
notifications that I had gained a level. It said that five times.
    Now that combat has finished, all of the dead bodies generated
loot boxes above their corpses, flooding the area. 
    The most important look however was the boss’s. It dropped
twenty gold coins, its armour and fortunately the sword from its belt.
Bringing up the boots I garnered from the chest before the battle, I inspect all
the loot I gained.
    Old
Bronyx Plate Armour
Plate armour that has never been repaired nor maintained. It is only in one
piece today thanks to being made of pure bronyx, an extremely tough metal that
will slowly self-regenerate over time. Any serious will not be repaired but
scratches and cracks will.

- Str 84
- Agi 51

Armour Type: Bronyx(Heavy)
Defence: 82
Durability: 52/60

Slash Resistance: 15%

Abilities:
- Durability will self-repair. However, any durability lost under 30 must be manually
repaired with bronyx.
- There is a 5% chance that fire attacks will be completely nullified.
     
    Meridium
Boots of Haste
Boots made of the rare ore Meridium. The metal is rather light and said to be
easily enchantable. This pair of boots in particularly has a strong haste
enchantment on them.

    Fire
Imbued Meridium Scramasax
A scramasax made from high quality meridium. The ruby embedded at the base of
the blade has been around the goblin 'Grigor' for so long that it has absorbed
some of the goblin's fire powers for attack and defence.
The metal has been tempered to have a sharper edge for longer, but meridium is a
naturally stiff metal, causing it to easily break under pressure.
The blade is 43cm long.

 Attack: 78 - 86
 Durability: 28/28

    What incredible equipment! But looking at the high requirements
for them showed that this dungeon was clearly meant for players much higher
levelled than me.    
    I also take note of these two new materials that the equipment
is made of. Meridium appears to be a very stiff metal, quite strong but with a
low durability. Bronyx was clearly your heavy armour providing fantastic
defence that a tanker would wear, it even had a self-repair ability that
massively increased its value.
    Truthfully, I have been a little concerned with money, the apple
sales have been great, but they barely payed for half of my expenses. I decide
to keep the
