Chapter 622 - Issac's Shop Again
“Now that I'm done with this part of the shop.” Ren said and walked over to the front counter and then behind it. “You can take me into the back room and show me the rest of it.”
“Wh-what?” Issac said with wide eyes.
“You told me that I could look around as much as I wanted.” Ren said and opened the door that was there. “You didn't say I was limited to looking at the part of the shop that everyone else can see.”
“No! You can't go back there!” Issac exclaimed and ran over to the counter.
“Really?” Ren asked and stood in the doorway. “Are you going back on your word? Did you lie?”
Issac came to a stop at the counter and stared at Ren. “You know full well that I only meant the front of the shop and the items I have on display.”
“...and you know full well that nearly all of them are things I can make already. I only found four interesting things in the whole display.” Ren said. “So, did you lie? Was it all a ruse just to sell me the book?”
“I...” Issac sighed. “Yes, it was a...”
*KRACKOOOOOM!*
The thunderclap shattered every piece of glass in the shop as a thick bolt of Lightning shot out of the lie detector on the ceiling. Ren reacted instantly and equipped his full set of platinum armor as he jumped forward, then activated the Anti-lightning runes in his armor and reached over the counter to grab Issac and put him in a bear hug. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to stem the bolt's power. It struck Issac in the back and shocked him before the armor could negate it fully.
“N-no.” Ren said as Issac slumped in his arms. “Issac! ISSAC!”
“Can't... hear.” Issac whispered. “Too... loud.”
“Issac! What happened?” Ren yelled. “The amulet doesn't have that much damage capability!”
“Lie... was too... big.” Issac said. “Too... long to... tell truth.” He gasped in pain. “Saved up... energy.”
“It's not supposed to scale like that!” Ren said and tried to cast a Major Healing spell.
“Healing... won't work.” Issac said when he felt the tingle of Mana flow over him and dissipate. “Too... late.”
“NO!” Ren exclaimed.
Issac slumped in his arms, and Ren laid him down on the floor.
“Here.” Issac said and held out a thick book. “In... in... inventory.”
“What?”
Issac dropped the book on the floor and held out a scroll. “Take.”
“Issac, what...”
“Don't... no back room.” Issac said and shook the scroll at Ren. “TAKE!”
Ren took it and received a popup.
