However, Old Book's next words shattered our hope.
"That is to utilize the Divine Stone Fragnts to create Divine Stone Weapons. Whether inlaid in Longswords, Longbows, or Magic Wands, they can have the effect of countering 'Corrosion'."
"Though this effect is far inferior to the power of the [God's Stone] itself, and cannot be as extrely restraining as before, even killing in a single strike, it can barely withstand the opponent's attack only when combined with concentrated fire and the Power of Divine Grace. But it does grant us a glimr of hope for survival."
After speaking, Old Book revealed his Magic Wand, and at the top end, Leo Ray indeed saw a God's Stone Fragnt the size of half a fist.
"City Lord, may I borrow the Magic Wand for a look?"
Leo Ray nodded slightly and inquired towards the counterpart.
Including Moli, the other strong individuals on our side, who had just been uplifted, now felt gloomy again. This thod is clearly difficult for us to replicate.
"Of course you can."
With no hesitation, Old Book handed the Magic Wand over.
Upon taking the Magic Wand, Leo Ray wasted no ti, imdiately opening the Attribute Column.
[Na: Radiance's Glory]
[Grade: Tier 6 - Legend (Gold)]
[Attack Strength: Seven Stars]
[Additional Effect One: Dim Power of the Stars "Inflict certain damage to (Corrosion)"]
[Additional Effect Two: Power of the Stars Sharing "When used by the Chosen Son of God, can share the Power of the Stars with a certain number of nearby targets"]
[Note: Special Magic Wand crafted with Divine Stone Fragnt able to cause certain damage to "Corrosion."]
Closing the Attribute Column, Leo Ray stood up from his seat, starting to leisurely pace in the room, but actually taking advantage of facing away from Old Book and Moli by storing the Magic Wand into his Storage Space.
Without delay, he directly began the upgrade.
[Congratulations, your "Tier 6 Weapon: Radiance's Glory" has been upgraded to "Tier 6 Weapon: Radiance's Glory" 128 pieces!]
After completing the upgrade, Leo Ray flipped his palm, and the Magic Wand reappeared, then turned back around; because this series of actions was smoothly executed, it went unnoticed by the two.
Leo Ray's intention in doing so was, of course, to increase hope against "Corrosion."
After returning the Magic Wand to Old Book, Leo Ray asked, "City Lord, currently how many of such special weapons are there in the city?"
"Not to hide from Lord Brave, including this one of mine, there are only five in total."
Old Book heaved a heavy sigh again, responding, "I'm sure Lord Brave also realized, to make the weapons function, large chunks of Divine Stone Fragnts must be used. The small fragnts taken out beforehand are utterly insufficient to cause harm to 'Corrosion.'"
"Hence, the suitable fragnt numbers are extrely limited as it is, plus the process of combating 'Corrosion' damaged so, so having five is already quite a luxurious setup for a city."
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully; it seems the next crucial step is to upgrade all these weapons quietly.
Whether to share so with the Human Clan here, however, needs observing the situation first; if coveted by them, our side with limited strength could potentially be wiped out, for there are plenty of strong warriors standing behind us, so reckless risk-taking isn't possible.
Thinking about this, a trace of puzzlent appeared on Leo Ray's face.
According to Old Book's words, even if there are only a few weapons in the city, shouldn't gathering them form a force not to be underestimated?
Knowing that "Corrosion" will attack soon, wouldn't gathering them all together outweigh the so-called strength of us brave folks?
"City Lord, why aren't the allies from other cities coming to assist then?"
Moli too evidently realized this issue, her fair face full of confusion as she spoke.
"This is exactly what I'm about to explain," Old Book's eyes filled with helplessness, responding, "Not to hide from all the brave lords, this place has been completely sealed by 'Corrosion,' all teleportation arrays destroyed, while ground allies trying their best to aid are currently held up by 'Corrosion' outside, completely unable to act."
"Therefore, with the brave lords' assistance, we must persevere until reinforcents arrive to escape destruction. According to Old Book's projections, the fastest would be ten days for reinforcents to reach us."
Accompanied by Old Book's words, a prompting voice suddenly sounded in Leo Ray's ear.
[Dear Lord Leo Ray, welco to participate in the 002398th "Lord Trial," the arena for this trial is numbered 001621, trial goal is to protect the city, pass the trial successfully and return to the original sector, with a random reward granted.]
[Prompt: The flow of ti here is different from your original sector, the ratio is 10:1, aning 10 days here equals 1 day in the original sector.]
[Prompt: According to Divine Revelation guidance, people here won't attack you nor covet any items you carry, rest assured to participate in the trial.]
[Prompt: The trial has started.]
[Prompt: "Corrosion" could launch an attack on this city any mont in various forms.]
"Sure enough, the prompting voice is behind this sche!"
Listening to the series of sounds, Leo Ray's brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
Although the prompting voice spoke simply, it indeed contained vast amounts of information.
The first sentence reveals that this so-called trial is quite similar to the Lord Arena.
Only this ti it's a solo mode, not multiplayer, and judging by the sequence number, countless Lords have experienced it already; they should all be Overlord Level Lords.
Furthermore, given the site sequence numbers being beyond a thousand, could it be there are over a thousand parallel worlds similar to this place? Or is each Lord's trial unique?
Either way, these are unimaginable things.
Besides, the most noteworthy is certainly the ti flow rate.
Here, 10 days equal only 1 day in the original sector, which undoubtedly ans the prompting voice possesses the frightening ability to interfere with ti!
"A true deity indeed, simply omnipotent, and the very reason for this prompt is likely to reassure to focus on participating in the trial without worrying over territory status."
Inwardly sighing, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.
As for the last key point, it's that people here won't attack us, evidently arranged by the prompting voice through Divine Revelation.
Judging by the piety level of these people, it's indeed impossible for them to defy the prompting voice's commands.
"Undeniably, the prompting voice is ticulous indeed."
As Leo Ray contemplated this, Old Book had already knelt down, pleading to the forr: "Lord Brave, although this might be just my one-sided desire, please, Lord Brave, save this city! Rescue the residents living in fear and despair!"
"Please rise, Old City Lord. Since we're here, we should settle in peace, naturally it's our duty to fulfill the mission of the summoned brave. Being summoned by the deity, the brave must complete the quest."
Leo Ray helped the counterpart up, nodding firmly.
Since this is a trial that must be completed, I must give it my all.
Moreover, the people here have long been fighting "Corrosion," surely holding valuable experience, which could be extrely beneficial for to cope with the impending Great Catastrophe.
Besides, during this ti, I could learn more about the history and events here, possibly advancing towards the truth of the Era of Blankness.
Of course, regardless of any point, the prerequisite is to lead our strong individuals to assist the Old City Lord and others in safeguarding this city, else in vain will everything turn.
Alongside Leo Ray, the other strong figures also bore the sa determination, their faces resolute.
Since the Lord says this, seems only by protecting the city can we return to the original place.
Just as everyone almost grasped the current situation, Old Book's aged face tightened, his expression suddenly becoming very grim.
