Legendary Broken Player - VRMMORPG

Chapter 639: Chapter 639 - Trapped Beneath the Earth



Broken continued his journey through the damp cave, Aerin walking beside him while the two Elven Knights followed silently a few paces behind.

[Name: Broken]

[Level: 147]

[Class: Unique - Super Novice | Unique - Royal Blacksmith | Unique - Rift Digger | Unique - Elemental Forger]

[Health: 15,575 | Mana: 8,278]

[Strength: 1,124 | Agility: 524 | Intelligence: 579 | Constitution: 858 | Stamina: 884]

[Charisma: 100 | Luck: 57 | Dexterity: 50 | Survival: 30 | Perception: 20]

[Available Stat Points: 280]

[Weight: 4,877/6,744]

Broken checked his overall status, noting with satisfaction that his level had reached 147. It was a significant milestone, especially considering his passive leveling over the past year in Yunatea's time.

Still, he knew much of his current power came from his Invincible Paragon armor set, which granted him substantial stat boosts.

Curious about his base stats without any equipment, he decided to unequip the armor.

As he removed the gear, his status display adjusted, and he found himself in just a plain white T-shirt and a pair of brown shorts.

[Health: 3,830 | Mana: 6,828]

[Strength: 915 | Agility: 384 | Intelligence: 569 | Constitution: 383 | Stamina: 365]

[Charisma: 100 | Luck: 57 | Dexterity: 50 | Survival: 30 | Perception: 20]

[Available Stat Points: 280]

[Weight: 23/5,490]

Broken frowned as he reviewed his raw stats, the glaring disparity between his current Stamina and the boost from his Invincible Paragon Armor immediately apparent.

The Armor greatly increased his Stamina, but it was clear that without it, his endurance would plummet. This dependency troubled him he needed to raise his Stamina stats

independently to avoid relying too heavily on gear for survival.

His Constitution, on the other hand, was impressively high, thanks in large part to the Abyssal Shatter Cuff, a Legendary-grade bracelet he had acquired after defeating Morel. It added a substantial 200 points to his Constitution. It was worth 20 level stats!

Now, with 280 unallocated skill points to spend, he mulled over his options. He needed to ensure a careful balance between his stats.

Strength was a priority since many of his weapons were melee-focused and required a solid physical foundation.

But he couldn't neglect Magic either, as his Eternal Flame Scythe skill dealt significant damage through Elemental Magic. Additionally, his bow required dexterity and precision, meaning a balanced distribution across attributes was essential to maintain versatility in combat.

"Broken..."

Aerin's gentle voice pulled him from his thoughts.

"What is it, Aerin?"

"Why did you take off your armor?"

"Oh, nothing," he replied quickly, brushing it off as he began re-equipping his gear.

They continued their journey through the cave. Nearly an hour had passed, and the path only seemed to stretch deeper into the earth with every step.

He glanced around at the jagged walls and the stone surrounding them.

Will they bury us alive down here?

"Broken!" Pawpaw's voice suddenly echoed in his ear. "The entrance to the cave has been abruptly blocked by a powerful force."

What?!

The exit had been sealed, trapping them inside the cave with no visible way out.

Why would they do that?

From the very beginning, something about this situation had felt suspicious, and now the pieces were falling into place in the worst possible way.

If the elves wanted to harm us, they could've done it easily—especially with their superior skills and strength. So why trap us here?

The more he thought about it, the clearer it became-they had stumbled into something far more significant than they'd anticipated. And now, they were caught in the middle of it, with no clear way out.

His thoughts turned to the two elven knights following them.

Despite their high levels and stoic demeanor, he couldn't shake the sense that their presence wasn't just a coincidence.

Were they here as guards? Or were they simply observers, tasked with ensuring he and Aerin didn't interfere with something they weren't supposed to see?

Instinctively, his mind drifted toward a familiar solution: eliminate the problem at its

source.

He entertained the idea of taking down the two knights. Their high skill level didn't intimidate him—he had overcome worse odds before. This wouldn't be an exception if it

came to that.

Broken knew he could easily unleash his Soul Blast skill, dealing devastating damage to one of the elven knights and likely ending their life in an instant.

But a moment of hesitation froze him in place. He had nearly forgotten about Aerin's bond

with her forest elf clan.

They were her family, after all.

Family doesn't turn against its own without a compelling reason.

Broken sighed, lowering his hand. He couldn't bring himself to harm Aerin's kin-not unlessn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

he was absolutely sure of their intentions.

At the same time, he couldn't afford to drop his guard.

Were the elves really on the opposing side?

Damn it.

Thinking about it all made his head spin.

I hate these kinds of situations.

Broken suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Aerin turned to him with a curious expression. "What is it, Broken?"

Behind them, the two elven knights halted as well.

Without a word, Broken reached for Aerin's hand, gripping it gently as he turned to address

the knights.

"Could you give us a few moments of privacy?"

The knights exchanged a glance.

The way Broken had phrased his request made them wonder-was this a romantic matter?

Aerin glanced at Broken. "Broken?"

"I want a few moments alone with you," he said. "Let's walk a bit further ahead and leave them here for now. I don't want anyone to see what we're about to do."

Aerin's brow furrowed briefly, but she nodded in agreement.

Together, they walked further into the dim cave, leaving the two knights behind.

The elves exchanged curious glances.

What could possibly be so urgent that Broken needed privacy with Aerin?

As the pair disappeared into the shadows ahead, the knights' thoughts lingered on the unusual situation. Their orders were clear: observe Aerin and Broken.

However, there was nothing in their directive that explicitly prohibited the two from engaging in something personal-romantic or otherwise.

"It seems Ms. Aerin has inherited her mother's interests. She appears to have a fondness for

humans."

The other knight shrugged. "And why not? She isn't a pure elf anymore. Honestly, I have no opinion on the matter."

"As long as she doesn't endanger herself or the clan, I suppose it's none of our concern."

With that, they returned to their silent vigil.

But seriously, what were Aerin and Broken planning to do by walking ahead?

Did they really think they'd find a way out deeper in the cave?
