I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 1222 - 704: Half-God Artifact [Mountain Soul’s Fury]

"Because it uses teorite Iron and the power of the Heart of the Mountain, each swing can cause the earth to tremble and the mountains to resonate, shocking the enemy."

"At the sa ti, this warhamr possesses the physical destructive power to split mountains and rocks, and can endow the power of the mountain at key monts, making both people and cities as unshakable as mountains."

Tomun introduced to Lis as if counting his treasures:

"This ti, the Royal Court and the temple must have considered the possibility of Lonely Mountain City being attacked, so they awakened this Half-God Artifact. If any problem occurs, they can also use the ’Mountain Soul’s Fury’ to protect Lonely Mountain City."

Upon hearing this, Lis nodded and said:

"Uncle Tomun, you seem to be very familiar with this Half-God Artifact?"

"Of course!"

Tomun said with so pride:

"After all, my forging skills in Lonely Mountain City were top-notch, and both the temple and the Royal Court would have us check the status of Half-God Artifacts and Holy Artifacts from ti to ti."

"Living long enough lets you co into contact with these things."

"However, the Half-God Artifacts and Holy Artifacts we encountered back then were in a dormant state, not like now when you can feel the imnse power they truly contain!"

Having said that, Tomun pointed to the magic array surrounding the stone platform in front of him and said:

"To protect the Half-God Artifacts and Holy Artifacts, each tower where they are stored has such a magic array, a gift from Dugumar, the God of Knowledge and Invention."

"According to the different attributes and characteristics of the Half-God Artifacts and Holy Artifacts, they are nourished by using the corresponding Extraordinary Materials. Not only can this prevent the damage of the Half-God Artifacts, but it can also fully unleash their true power."

Lis nodded; he had noticed this earlier.

This magic rune formation also held certain reference value for Lis.

Tomun ntioned the advantages, and the only disadvantage might be the requirent of consuming a large amount of precious Extraordinary Materials.

It’s nothing to the wealthy Dwarf Kingdom, but for Lis, who has the money-consuming Kane Floating City, it seed a bit impractical.

Moreover, Lis currently had no Half-God Artifacts available.

However, Lis still tried his best to rember it all.

Who knows, it might co in handy soday?

At this mont, the servant walked towards the central stone platform, standing around the magic array.

He took out a brownish crystal stone key and extended it forward, slowly rotating it in circles.

Lis could see clearly that as the servant moved, a circle of dense magic rune glows dimd around each layer of the magic array.

Though there was nothing visible in front, Lis felt as if a door lock had been opened.

"Alright, everyone."

The servant, turning around, looked at the dwarf masters in front of him with a smile and said:

"Now I’ve lifted part of the protection. You can enter the magic array and touch the ’Mountain Soul’s Fury’."

"Although you all should know the rules, I still have to remind you in advance."

"First, all the Half-God Artifacts and Holy Artifacts you co into contact with cannot be taken out of the high tower’s magic array."

"Of course, you wouldn’t be able to take them out anyway. Doing so would result in an attack from the tower’s magic array, which even a legendary figure might not be able to resist."

"Second, only one person can touch a Half-God Artifact at a ti, and each person has an hour with the artifact. Overstepping the ti will cause the magic array to forcibly interrupt, injury is inevitable."

"Third, everyone can move the Half-God Artifact, but using the Half-God Artifact to attack is prohibited."

"This is mainly for your safety. Recklessly using a Half-God Artifact without its recognition is very dangerous."

After finishing, the servant waited for a mont, seeing no objections, he smiled and said to the dwarf standing at the front:

"Master Samuel, you go first!"

Samuel nodded, without any formality, directly entered the magic array, and approached the stone platform.

He did not imdiately touch the Half-God Artifact ’Mountain Soul’s Fury’ but instead stood around the stone platform, srized, gazing at the warhamr in front of him.

Pointing at Samuel, Tomun quietly said to Lis:

"You probably haven’t t him before; he hasn’t joined any Forging Workshop and is directly a forging master under the temple."

"His abilities are quite impressive, much stronger than what I am now, and compared to , he’s relatively young, still with potential to further improve his forging skills."

"But of course, you’re incomparable, Lis, you will surpass him sooner or later."

After a pause, Tomun continued to advise Lis:

"This opportunity is quite rare, Lis. You should first observe the situation, don’t rush."

"After all, besides the ’Mountain Soul’s Fury’, there are also two Holy Artifacts, and it will take quite a bit of ti for everyone to take turns, so you can take advantage of this ti to observe more."

"I understand."

Lis nodded in response to the advice.

Having the chance to contact a Half-God Artifact, Lis certainly didn’t mind waiting a bit longer.

Moreover, he could also seize this opportunity to further scrutinize the magic array patterns ant for storing and nourishing Half-God Artifacts.

If he wasn’t mistaken, those array patterns not only consud the resources ntioned but also possessed considerable protective and counterattack powers.

No wonder it’s a gift from the Divine; the magic array alone holds substantial value.

With this thought, Lis no longer wasted ti waiting.

He whispered sothing to Tomun and then attentively began observing the surrounding magic array.

The dwarf servant, noticing Lis not entering the magic array, didn’t say much.

As for the other dwarf masters, they weren’t surprised.

On their first opportunity to enter here, they too were greatly intrigued by these magic array patterns.

After all, these were Divine-gifted magic runes, possessing extrely practical abilities upon mastery.

But only a small fraction of people have gained insights, and most dwarf masters haven’t grasped even the basic idea.

So, they currently have no further research intentions; they closed their eyes to replenish energy, quietly waiting for their turn.

Lis didn’t feel awkward due to being different from others.

Even though Tomun previously shared the dwarf masters’ past failures with him, Lis was different.

He was a Legendary Arcanist after all!

This was his forte.

Lis could infer why those dwarf masters failed to gain anything.

Although forging craftsn usually master so magic rune knowledge to enhance gear, that knowledge is specifically for strengthening weapons and equipnt.

It’s entirely different from the magic runes used to construct the magic array here.

To master this magic array, those dwarf masters would need to start learning the relevant magic rune knowledge from scratch.

This would be more ti-consuming for them, sotis not worth the while.

But this wasn’t an issue for Lis.

In fact, when he saw each magic rune in the array, even if unfamiliar, he could quickly deduce its function.

Though it would take so ti, the gains were tangible indeed.

Mastering these special magic runes was indeed a delightful surprise for Lis.

...

"Lis, get ready, it’s your turn!"

Just as Lis was indulged in the magic runes, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

He looked up to find only a few people left in the entire tower.

Besides the previous dwarf servant and Tomun, there was only one forging master standing on the stone platform.

Tomun patted Lis on the shoulder and said:

"There’s only one person ahead of you; it will be your turn soon, so get ready."

"I told you the opportunity is rare, yet you spend so much ti studying the magic array."

Tomun shook his head, slightly dissatisfied.

However, he was fond of Lis’s habit of engrossing in studying knowledge.

Thus, he didn’t disturb Lis prematurely.

Young people, a little loss might be a good lesson.

As long as Lis stays in the Iron Hamr Workshop, future opportunities will be his for the taking.

"It’s fine, I’m still young, it’s not an issue."

Lis looked at the situation at the top of the tower, nodded, and said.

It didn’t take long before the forging master on the stone platform reluctantly stepped down under the servant’s urging and was led to another tower housing a Holy Artifact.

Lis glanced at the ’Mountain Soul’s Fury’ on the stone platform and proceeded towards it.
