Chapter 377
The Golden Origin Armor, the one recently discovered in Russia, was the most dangerous and powerful among all pieces of the Five Element Equipment. Its skill, storing the wearer’s ability internally for later use, was relatively common. However, the armor had a unique feature—it permanently kept the ability.
“For the first owner, it was simply a sturdy suit of armor. The second, it was still a sturdy suit of armor but with an eruption ability. And the third, it was sturdy, had eruption powers, and had gained electrical discharge capabilities.... Like so, the armor has continued to evolve in such a fashion.”
Stepping out of the Void Terminal, Meirin walked along the snow-covered streets of Moscow while calmly briefing Se-Hoon.
“The previous owner was a C-rank demon who got caught up in a power struggle. The moment he donned the Golden Origin Armor, he ended up facing an S-rank hero. What do you think happened?”
“Hmm... he barely managed to escape?”
“No. He killed the S-rank hero right there on the spot.”
Meirin took out a cigarette, placed it between her lips, and lit it.
“He was gravely injured, but still. An S-rank hero losing to a C-rank grunt who barely knew how to fight? Simply absurd.”
When it came to battles, strength alone normally wasn’t the deciding factor. Skills, experience, natural talent—all things that couldn’t even be compared needed to be factored in. Yet, even then, an S-rank hero died to a mere C-rank demon who had the fortune of acquiring the Golden Origin Armor?
Exhaling a deeper cloud of smoke than usual, Meirin posed a question to Se-Hoon. “What do you think?”
“Hmmm, could it be that the Golden Origin Armor is a bioweapon?” Se-Hoon questioned seriously, having given it a moment of thought.
