Chapter 39: Goldy's Challenge



Chapter 39: Goldy's Challenge

[Time remaining: 1:00]

Harvard took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

He had one skill that if he activated at the right time would make it impossible for Stealthy to get away from him! He just needed to time it right.

Swoosh!

A breeze blew past Harvard while the tomb started to shake.

Rumble! Rumble!

Harvard nodded his head and felt a breeze pass by him while he held out his hand and held out a pair of glasses.

This was his golden opportunity!

"You think I don't know what you're trying to do!" Stealthy stopped and smiled. "You want to trick me into taking the glasses! Well, I'm not falling for it!

"Smokescreen activate!" Harvard yelled! "Ghost Mirror Activate! Shadow Agent Activate!"

Shadow Agent was a skill of the Midnight Ruler he read about after failing to catch Stealthy Several times. It let the Midnight Ruler bind someone to their shadow for one second, which decreased speed by over 50 percent.

However, this wasn't enough to catch Stealthy! That made her agility just a 1000 Agility, which was still double his own! However, when he added Ghost Mirror which attached him to her shadow and smokescreen which also increased his agility by one percent and blinded her he was sure his plan would work!

Boom!

Stealthy ran at her maximum speed out of the smokescreen and coughed when she made it to the wall. However, she felt heavier. Luckily, Ghost Mirror had another affect that wasn't listed as a main effect. It slightly decreased agility as well!

Harvard looked up from inside Stealthy's shadow and watched the timer tick down. All he had to do is reach fast enough out of the shadow that he could catch Stealthy!

[Current time remaining: 10 seconds]

[9 seconds]

'You got this Harvard,' Smokey darted towards the other side of the room and then the other side and the other side. She was so fast because of her extra agility that Harvard started to feel sick. It was like being in the backseat of a powerful vehicle, and no matter what he did the driver couldn't just get his shit together.

[Current time remaining 5 seconds!]

"Ha, I won! There is no way you can catch me!" Stealthy stuck out her tongue at the cloud of smoke! You lose Harvard!"

"You're mine!" Harvards had tore through the shadow before he body got sent flying into Smokey's. He was able to jump out of the shadow because that's what Midnight Ruler's could do any time of day! His hand swiped towards Stealthy and gently touched her hair. The next second, she disappeared to the other side of the room.

###

"You cheated!" Stealthy stomped on the floor and smacked Harvard in the back, and then his chest and then his face. "You-you tricked me!"

[Quest update: Stealthy has been defeated in battle, but you have still not yet earned the right to take the daggers.]

[Take the first Magnificent Ruler Dagger and go to the next room.]

[To get the second dagger, there will be a much harder quest!

'There is another room! Are you kidding me! Please! Please tell me there isn't more coins to deposit! My hands still hurt!'

"What's wrong?" Stealthy pouted and looked up at Harvard. "Did I hit you too hard? Are you amd at me?"

"No, just happy I finally got this," Harvard snatched the dagger out of the pedestal and smiled. Let's take a look!

###

[Magnificent Daylight Ruler's Daggers] (Class 2 Heirloom)

[Level 31]

[Damage 500]

[Attack Speed: 10,051]

[Stats unlocked until Menace Lord approves of you and has some meaningful offspring!]

'I forgot about that. I thought it was a joke' Harvard sighed and looked up at Stealthy who had decided to ride his shoulders without his permission. She was really cute, and had a white dress and big green eyes with beautiful pale skin that looked nice with her blue hair. Her feet were also really small and beautiful with running shoes on that were two sizes too large. She seemed right at home on his shoulders.

"I'm upset. If you get the other dagger, then I can finally leave, but I'm afraid no one will like me."

"Everyone likes cute little angels," Harvard smiled and slowly walked towards the other room. He put the dagger in his inventory so Stealthy couldn't steal it and put it back. He imagined having to put all those coins in again, and his heart nearly stopped. "Want to tell me what's in the other room?"

"Heh, my brother, and an extremely fast Fish. A very special Fish."

###

Harvard walked into a room that had a large aquarium with dead fish that smelled really bad. He imagined it had once been a majestic room, but the only true treasure left seemed to be the magnificent daylight dagger in the pedestal.

He walked over to it and leaned down with Stealthy snoring on his shoulders.

"Cute Kid. Can you get off now?"

"Hoho! Never! I'm the captain of this ship! Rawr!" Stealthy smiled and flipped off his body. "Haha! I'm the terror of the seas! Watch me roar!"

"You'll love Tabitha," Harvard tried to pick up the dagger and it just came out. "Wait, where is the other quest?"

[New Quest Received: Find the golden fish]

[To use the magnificent daylight daggers, you must dive into the legendary fishtank and find the golden fish that will have the clue to activate the Magnificent Daylight Daggers!]

[Note: Since you're technically dead, you can breath under water! Don't worry about running out of breath!]

[System Information: It is recommended you walk on the bottom of the fish tank or your speed will be greatly reduced. Find something heavy to weigh you down first, or the quest could take 5 years.]

'I see where they got that five years from,' Harvard slightly twitched with anger before he cheerfully smiled. "Stealthy, you wouldn't happen to have anything heavy I can put in my shoes, do you!"
