NTR Rogue in the Apocalypse-Chapter 233: New Weapon
Arthuro smirked, "Are you sure about this? My people are very powerful."
"I know, and so are mine," John answered.
"Let’s begin, then," Arthuro said and signalled a group of his warriors.
"Octavia, you’re up," John said, and the crowd cheered.
Octavia walked towards the centre of the court and her group of 5 followed.
Arthuro signalled a group of six warriors.
"We will take on all of them," Octavia declared and the crowd erupted in cheers.
Arthuro’s warriors looked at their leader who smirked and nodded.
"Let’s do this," Octavia’s group rushed towards Arthuro’s warriors.
The crowd erupted into a frenzy as the two groups clashed. Octavia’s team was clearly at a disadvantage, but they held their ground.
Arthuro’s warriors were surprised at the strength of the group, and their leader ordered them to fight back.
As the tides turned against Olivia, she shouted, "Now!"
Two men from her team stepped forward and cast their skills.
One cast a wind-based spell while the other cast a lightning-based spell.
The combination of the two spells created a violent storm that swept up everyone on the court.
The spectators gasped as they watched the scene unfold, and Arthuro’s expression darkened.
"Worried?" John teased, a smirk playing on his lips.
Arthuro didn’t reply.
The storm cleared, and everyone was surprised at the sight of Octavia’s group, each standing tall.
"How?" Arthuro muttered.
"You underestimated them, and now they’re going to beat your warriors," John declared, a wide grin on his face.
"This is not over yet," Arthuro said and signalled his warriors to attack again.
Octavia and her group countered and the battle raged on.
John could feel Arthuro’s frustration as his warriors were slowly pushed back.
Finally, the last of Arthuro’s warriors fell, and Octavia’s group was victorious.
Octavia wiped the sweat from her brow and grinned, her eyes locked on Arthuro.
The commander clenched his jaw and turned to John.
"Well done," he said, his voice laced with grudging admiration.
John nodded and turned to his people, "Great work, everyone!"
The crowd erupted into cheers and whistles, and Octavia’s group basked in the adoration.
"Now, you see the power we have," John said, and Arthuro nodded.
"I must admit, I am impressed," Arthuro said, and he looked at his warriors.
They were bruised and battered, but they had no visible injuries.
"So, now that you’ve seen we’re not just playing around, do you care to sit down and consider an alliance?" John asked.
Arthuro’s eyes narrowed, "Before I agree to anything, I need to discuss it with my people. I am not the only making making decisions."
"That’s understandable," John said.
"We will return soon," Arthuro said and walked away.
Nova approached him and smiled, "Well done."
"Thanks. I’m glad they are taking us seriously."
"Me too. What will you do now?"
"For now, I have to get a new weapon," John sighed, remembering his old trashed Venomlash. It had broke apart during the fight against the Shadow Knight.
"I can take you to a System Shop," Nova said.
"Oh, I know of a few."
"Better than a B-tier System Shop?" Nova said, her head lolling to the side.
John’s eyebrows furrowed, "they have tiers?"
Nova chuckled. Her laughter was infectious and John couldn’t help but smile before he even understood why she was laughing.
"Yes, they do."
"And how do you know their tier?"
"Usually, you know by the type of items it has in stock, but if it’s a low tier System Shop, you can just check using the console. If it’s C-tier or higher, you can ask the administrator."
"Administrator, huh?" John thought about the strange guy who sold him the Vanishing Orbs.
"So, want me to take you?"
"Yeah, let’s go," John said and told Octavia and the others to go back.
Nova led him to her vehicle. It was John’s first time seeing a Luminar ground vehicle up close. It looked similar to a car, but the body was more aerodynamic and the wheels were larger. The interior was surprisingly spacious, and there were two seats in the front and three in the back.
"Get in," Nova said.
"Sure."
He got in the passenger seat and she started the engine. The vehicle hummed to life, and the dashboard lit up with a holographic display.
Nova pressed a button, and the vehicle rose off the ground.
"Wow!" John exclaimed.
"Pretty cool, right?" Nova grinned, her eyes still focused on the road.
"Yeah, it’s amazing," John said, his eyes glued to the view outside.
Nova’s smile widened as she drove, her gaze occasionally darting towards John’s direction.
John noticed her looking, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Is there something on my face?"
"What? No," she chuckled, her cheeks turning slightly red.
John chuckled, ’I wouldn’t mind getting a quest to steal her from someone.’
It didn’t take long for the vehicle to arrive at an old supermarket.
"We’re here," Nova said.
John stepped out and his eyes narrowed.
"This is it?"
Nova smiled and replied, "The interior is different. Don’t worry and go, I’ll wait for you."
"Okay," John said and entered the store.
His eyes widened as he entered. The place was bustling with activity. There were Luminars and other humanoid creatures walking around and checking the various items.
John’s eyes wandered as he strolled down the aisle.
"I’m looking for a weapon," John thought and a System screen guided him to a section of the store dedicated to weapons.
’Going by the size of this place, I can say with certainty that it’s a higher tier than the previous one.’
The selection was vast, and John felt a bit overwhelmed.
He scanned the displays and found several items that piqued his interest.
"Can I help you, sir?" A familiar voice called out.

"Administrator," John said.
The administrator smiled, "You know me?"
"From the other shop."
"Oh, you met my brother."
"Your brother?"
"Yes."
"I see," John said.
"So, what can I help you with?"
"I’m looking for a new weapon."
"I see. What type of weapon are you looking for?"
"A dagger."
"Oh, you’re a Rogue. How interesting. I don’t get many Rogues coming in here."
"Why not?"
"Well, the System usually provides a basic weapon at the start of the Apocalypse. So, most Rogues never have to come to a System Shop for a weapon because their weapons usually last for a long time."
"Oh, I see," John thought and wondered why he hadn’t received a weapon from the system.
’Must be because of my unique class,’ He thought to himself.
"Anyway, do you have any recommendations?"
"I have just the thing for you," the administrator said, a wide smile on his face.
He led John towards a display case filled with various types of daggers.
"Take a look," the administrator said.
John’s eyes were immediately drawn to a pair of dark grey daggers with green accents. But he decided to see the list of daggers in the holographic screen above.
1. Nightstalker
2. Pyroclaw
3. Blacklight
4. Soulseeker
5. Deathblade
6. Shadowstrike
7. Vengeance
8. Frostbite
9. Fatal Blow
10. Reaper’s Edge
11. Bloodlust
12. Soulreaper
’Well, I guess I should inspect these carefully.’ John thought and brought the Nightstalker’s description.
