Chapter 72 Teleportation Array, Divine Strike Arrives
Kurtz traced the ancient text. This legend might be true. After all, the Orger existed, so why not this?
But why would the Dwarves do that?
Kurtz didn't know. He could only guess the Dwarves felt lonely.
"But why does this legend exist? Aren't the Dwarves famously bad at magic?"
"The Dwarves cannot use magic. That's why this legend exists, they wanted to create Dwarves who could use magic." Serie spoke from what she'd read in old texts.
The Dwarf Kingdom was once prosperous and glorious. It gathered wealth from the entire continent, commanded the strongest Dwarf army, and even Skywing Clan Warriors avoided their forces.
The Dwarves had advanced technology back then. The Skywing Clan's flight advantage disappeared before the Dwarves' anti-air weapons.
At that time, the Dwarves almost became a third-tier race. Above them were only gods and dragons.
That's why such a legend exists. The Dwarves wanted to make their race stronger, so they tried using the Life Goddess's power to create magic-using Dwarves.
But everything vanished after that upheaval.
The Dwarves lost their former glory and most of their forging techniques. They became miserable.
"It's hard to imagine."
Kurtz couldn't picture these Dwarves exploring life magic.
Moreover, was it right to trace life magic's origin from Dwarves who never used magic?
Time passed slowly.
A week went by quickly.
Everyone stayed in the treasure vault. Serie's magic allowed them to survive without food or water, but the enclosed environment made everyone irritable.
Kurtz's bad feelings grew stronger.
Everyone gathered in the treasure vault's centre. Eric played with a gold coin and complained, "These runes are too difficult to understand. I can't decipher them at all. I think we should chop it into pieces and take them with us."
"Then you carry these stones." Serie glanced at him.
Serie felt frustrated with these ancient texts. She'd never encountered these characters,
These were the original Dwarf script with no clues for deciphering them.
Moreover, this stone weighed several tons. They couldn't take it away, so they had to decipher the text to find other methods.
"How about using levitation magic?"
Kurtz released his magic power and made his book float. This was a slight improvement he'd made to levitation magic that worked on other objects.
However, it hadn't reached the point of free flight yet. Kurtz kept experimenting with this.
"No, the magic consumption is too great." Serie shook her head.
"Can't we replenish it using this Holy Relic Stone Slab?" Norn pointed at the massive platform.
He didn't know why the Holy Relic Stone Slab had become such a large stone, but the magic power inside was incredibly strong. Norn felt they could use it to restore magic power.
"It's not that simple. Magic power replenishment requires purification." Serie explained patiently.
Not all magic powers can restore you.
External magic power contains impurities or pollution besides your naturally recovered magic. You can't replenish it as you wish.
Kurtz had infused the magic power stored in el's light with his own essence, so it worked as a power bank. Even Serie could use it to restore her magic safely.
But this stone platform couldn't work that way.
It was like a large power bank without a suitable cable. You could only look at it but not use it.
At most, they could use it to cast certain special magic spells.
Just like how the Demon Race used the Holy Relic Stone Slab to activate a super-large teleportation array back then.
"I see," Norn said with disappointment.
"The biggest problem is why it's such a huge stone platform. This is completely different from what the legends say." Kurtz said.
If it weren't such a heavy stone, Kurtz would have taken the valuable items here and left long ago. He wouldn't have delayed so long in the treasure vault.
Although it was quiet here with no monsters to disturb them since they'd closed the entrance, Kurtz always had a bad feeling.
Ever since he drew the Orger, he'd always felt this way.
"I also find it strange. Could the real stone slab be inside this?" Serie studied the platform. "How about we try splitting it open?"
"We can try." Kurtz nodded.
Dwarf Somo stood up: "I think it's my turn." He took out his battle-axe. "This kind of work should be left to a powerful Dwarf warrior!"
"Don't rush, Somo." Kurtz stopped him. "Let Serie and me investigate again to make sure it's safe before starting."
No one knew what would happen if they split open the stone platform. What if explosive power hid inside? Then everyone would have nowhere to escape.
This was why Kurtz hadn't taken action for a week.
The group came before the stone slab.
"What do you say? Investigate the internal structure first?"
"It's troublesome. The magic power inside is too chaotic, and detection magic is difficult..."
Before Serie could finish speaking, the stone platform suddenly emitted blinding light.
At the same time, above the Dwarf Ruins, the air began to crack.
A massive magic array appeared.
If survivors from the original Dwarf Kingdom existed, they would recognise this magic array. It was exactly the same as the super-large teleportation array the Demon Race had used back then.
This time, what appeared from the teleportation array were not demons and monsters, but powerful Skywing Clan Warriors.
The core Thirteen Council members led numerous Skywing Clan Warriors in a perfect square formation. Their white wings shone in the sunlight, their longswords pointed directly at the Dwarf Ruins below.
"All units, prepare God Strike!"
The leading Council member gave the order coldly.
The entire Skywing Clan had talent for learning magic, coupled with excellent physical qualities, making them the undisputed third-tier race in this world.
When all Skywing Clan Warriors simultaneously unleashed their strongest attack, it created a God Strike capable of destroying everything.
As the Council member's words fell, all Skywing Clan Warriors' magic power began to converge, forming a bright pillar of light in the centre of the magic array.
The light grew brighter, like a falling sun.
God Strike was about to descend!
