489 Phoenix Feathered Cloak
Evan looked at the monster army and took a deep breath.
He was about to take action when suddenly a voice sounded inside his and Sebastian's mind.
'Ummm...can I also join the bet?'
Evan and Sebastian turned their heads at the same time and looked at Nathan who had an awkward expression on his face.
'Oy old man, don't try to interfere in our bet. That fruit belongs to me' After seeing the details of the mana affinity fruit, Sebastian decided to use all of his trump cards to finish off Stone Buffalo as soon as possible. In his eyes, the mana affinity fruit already belongs to him so there is no way he would allow Nathan to interfere in their bet.
'What do you mean by that the fruit belongs to you, don't talk like you've already won the bet' Nathan said in a sneering tone.
Evan was speechless when he saw they were arguing because of the mana affinity fruit.
'I don't have time for their useless bickering' Evan thought and was about to refuse Nathan because he only had one Mana Affinity Fruit when suddenly a shrewd idea came to his mind.
He pondered for a moment and a dark smile appeared on his face.
It was a pity that both Nathan and Sebastian didn't see that smile, otherwise, they would definitely have dropped the idea of betting with Evan.
'Alright, stop arguing both of you..' Evan quickly hid his shrewd smile and said in a serious voice.
Hearing Evan's serious voice, both Nathan and Sebastian stopped arguing and looked at him.
'Let him join us, I have two mana affinity fruits so there wouldn't be any problem even if he joins us.' Evan said using the telepathy skill of his whispering earring.
Nathan's eyes lit up when he heard Evan, on the other hand, Sebastian's eyes narrowed.
Because of his skill, he could tell that Evan was lying about the number of fruits. Just as he was about to expose him, Evan looked at him and sent a voice transmission without alerting Nathan.
When Sebastian heard Evan's voice, his eyes lit up. Soon he smiled knowingly and looked somewhat pityingly at Nathan who was still smiling because of joining the bet.
Evan also sighed in relief when he saw Sebastian didn't expose him.
'By the way, there are only two S rank monsters so how will we play?' Nathan suddenly asked in a doubtful voice.
'There is no need to think too much. You and guild master Sebastian will face Stone Buffalo and I will face the Titan Elephant. If you guys successfully kill the Stone Buffalo before I kill the Titan Elephant, the mana affinity fruits will be yours' Evan said casually shocking both Nathan and Sebastian.
They wanted to ask if he was being serious but stopped after thinking about it for a moment.
'Well...there is no disadvantage for us so there is no need to say anything' both of them thought at the same time and smiled.
Evan sneered inwardly when he saw their smiles but didn't show any kind of expression outwardly.
'Oh Right Principal, guild master Sebastian is betting an S rank armour, what are you going to bet?' Evan asked.
Nathan didn't say anything after hearing Evan and waved his hand. He already thought about what he was going to bet.
Just as he waved his hand, a golden coloured cloak that was emitting light golden flames appeared in his hand.
Nathan created a mana barrier around the cloak so that its aura wouldn't spill into the surroundings.
Evan's eyes lit up when he saw the golden cloak. Just by looking at it, he could tell that it was not a simple artefact.
Sebastian also raised an eyebrow when he saw the cloak.
'I will give you this if you won the bet....' Nathan said and passed the cloak to Evan.
Evan held the cloak and looked at it carefully. The cloak was very smooth and even though it was emitting golden flames from time to time, he did not feel any kind of danger from those flames, on the contrary, when those flames touched his hand he felt a comfortable feeling spreading all over his body.
---) Phoenix Feathered Cloak: The Phoenix Feathered Cloak is a majestic and rare accessory crafted from the feathers of a legendary fire phoenix. Wearing this cloak imbues the wearer with the 'Flame Rebirth' and 'High-Level Fire Resistance' skills.
---) Flame Rebirth: The primary ability of the Phoenix Feathered Cloak is its power of "Flame Rebirth." if its wearer faces death, the cloak's nirvana flames activate. Using the Flame Rebirth, the wearer can come back to life.
(The 'Flame Rebirth' skill can only be used one time. After using it for one time, 'The Phoenix Feathered Cloak' will lose its Flame Rebirth skill)
---) High-Level Fire Resistance: Increases the user's Fire Resistance by +50%.
Evan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw the details of Phoenix Feathered Cloak.
Sebastian was the same and looked at the cloak with a look of disbelief on his face.
Both of them couldn't take their eyes off the details of the 'Flame Rebirth' skill. Although this skill could only be used once, they both knew the importance of such a skill very well.
"This_" Evan was so shocked that he wasn't able to say anything.
'I got this cloak around fifty years ago after clearing an S rank dungeon' Nathan's voice sounded inside Evan and Sebastian's minds, 'What do you think? Is it good enough for this bet?'
Although Nathan asked the question, he already knew the answer, after all, he was well aware of the importance of such an artefact.
Evan took a deep breath and gave back the cloak to Nathan. Although he was not showing anything on the surface, he was laughing in his heart because he was sure that this cloak would soon be his.
Sebastian also thought about what Evan said to him earlier and looked at Nathan with weird eyes.
'This old man is really generous' Sebastian muttered inwardly and shook his head.
'I hope this old man won't cry after losing this cloak' Evan thought to himself and took a deep breath.
'Get ready, I am about to begin' Evan said to Nathan and Sebastian and looked at the monster army.
