Chapter 42 Upgrade Equipment!
?Seems about right. Everything should be balanced.
*Umu 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
Looking over at my inventory, the only notable weapons I have were the [Golden Hammer], [Golden Axe], and [Golden Pickaxe].
I looked over the sky and released a big breath.
System, is there some kind of an equipment in the [Evil System Shop] that I could use?
<New ITEMS available in Evil System Shop!>
Huh . . . that was fast. How about some Tokens and Blueprints while you're at it.
<System could only provide items and quests that contained Tokens and Blueprints as rewards>
I know. I just wanted to ask and try my luck.
<However, System will provide Host all needed equipment at his current ATP . . . for the right price, of course>
I opened the [Evil System Shop] and chose from the inventory list.

? Lunatic Purgatory
The blade of a mass murderer who lived hundreds of years by drinking the blood of his victims.
This blade was strengthened by the countless blood it killed and drank. It transformed into something of a weapon and beast. Two swords combined together through a mouth filled with razor-sharp jaws with three eyes on each hilt. Blood constantly dripped from its maw, and poison coated its double blades.
It's like the head of a dragon from the Purgatory itself.
WARNING!
This blade constantly required blood. Once equipped, the wearer should feed it blood each day. Failure to do so, it would take its owner's blood as compensation.

That's what I'm talking about!
Though the names and description were a little . . . unsettling, my ATP was high to suppress its negative effects . . . I hope.
I bought every piece of equipment in the shop for a total of 130 000 Evil points like the system knew how much Evil Points I had left.
I checked my equipment. The mantle was so light contrary to its appearance of gleaming dark scales. It didn't hinder my movement at all, and it felt like I was not wearing any cape.
The boots were perfect too. Comfy and light.
. . . The problem was . . . I felt the maw mask on my jaw. The big long tusks weren't hindering my vision, but I still wanted to see if I was recognizable amidst the mask.
If it could hide my appearance, the better.
Another thing . . . I check [Lunatic Purgatory] in my hand. I felt it pulsating. Its three pairs of eyes twirling around and around, unsettling, never in one place, searching for something to eat.
Ehehe . . . Ahahahaha!
I swung the sword, feeling its heaviness in each sway.
Not bad.
It was light, but I felt every strike of it. It was bigger than I imagined, about half the size of my height, so I expected it to be heavy.
GrrR . . . the jaws between the two swords were making gurgling sounds, hungry, seeking, needing blood to feast.
Is that so?
There were no beasts nor monsters in sight. The surroundings turned quiet, unlike when it was buzzing with noises a while ago.
Every presence was gone. Every beast that was hiding from the bushes, stalking me the moment I entered the forest . . . they all disappeared.
GrRrR . . .
Calm down.
You'll have your blood soon enough.
Rechecking my stats, I felt confident that I could take that Old Hag and her sons.
But more importantly, I wasn't after them . . . I was after that player . . . Lisa. Specifically her Tokens.
A grin stretched my lips so wide.
It's time for the hunt.
