Chapter 40: The Labyrinth Challenge
Before diving headfirst into the newly announced "Power Core Scramble," Ryan decided to check the loot box he’d gotten from the last Temporal Hound.
A "Minor Temporal Cache." It sounded promising. He tapped the shimmering, ornate box, and it dissolved into light, leaving behind a new piece of gear in his hands.
They were a pair of sleek, dark grey boots that seemed to absorb the light around them. They felt incredibly light, almost weightless. The god Interface gave him the details.
[Boots of Alacrity (Tier 3)]
Description: Advanced Precursor footwear designed for rapid movement and enhanced reaction time.
Grants: +20 Agility
Movement Speed: +25%
Skill: "Accelerated Reflex" - Grants a brief, massive burst of speed and reaction time immediately after successfully dodging an attack. (Cooldown: 30 seconds)
Ryan’s eyes widened. "Plus twenty Agility? And a speed boost? Hello, gorgeous." He quickly unlaced his worn-out, basic footwraps, which were little more than tough pieces of cloth at this point, and slipped on the new boots.
They molded to his feet perfectly, as if they were made for him. He took a few test steps and felt an immediate difference. He felt lighter, springier, like he could run a marathon and barely break a sweat.
The "Accelerated Reflex" skill sounded perfect for his fighting style, rewarding him for not getting hit.
