Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 374 What Is This? (8)

Drogath opened his mouth to say sothing, but he found that there was nothing that he could say.

After all, he wasn't able to refute this.

He might know so things about runes, but it couldn't be said that he knew everything about them.

It was perfectly logical that there should be runes that have capacity for this much mana.

So he couldn't just completely deny this.

But the one thing that he could deny was…

"You're saying that soone like you who can't even forge his own weapon can write runes of this capacity? If you want to tell a joke, I think that you should find a better one." Drogath said with a snort filled with disdain.

The judges all looked at Drogath in disdain when they heard this.

I just gave a chuckle before suddenly lifting the sword up to point at Drogath.

When he saw this sword pointing at him, there was a trace of fear that filled his heart.

He had already been on the receiving end of this sword, so it had left a trauma in his heart.

When he was facing this sword again, his legs turned soft and he couldn't help taking a step back.

With a stutter, he said, "What…What are you doing? Are you trying to cause trouble now that I've hit the nail on the head? Do you know where you are?"

I didn't react at all to his provocation and just injected a bit of mana into the sword.

When the sword received this mana, the first rune near the hilt of the sword suddenly lit up. There was a powerful mana fluctuation that ca from it as the rune lit up.

This was more than enough to prove that this mana fluctuation had indeed co from the sword itself.

But I wasn't satisfied with just that.

So slowly, I injected more mana into the sword.

With more mana received, the runes of the sword started to light up one by one.

As the runes lit up, the mana fluctuation that ca from this sword also beca stronger and stronger until they reached the sa level as before.

I looked at Drogath with a smirk on my face and asked, "How about now? Is it still impossible?"

Drogath didn't know what to say since there was nothing that he could say to refute it.

If I didn't do this, he might be able to say that this was just a trick.

But when I gave such a clear demonstration, there wasn't a thing that he could say that would twist this around.

Everyone was able to see it clearly just where this mana fluctuation ca from.

After showing this, I put the sword back onto the ground and went back to my furnace.

I picked up the empty magic stones that I had used to imprint these runes on the sword before saying, "You should be able to see what kind of magic stones these were. If even these were used, then you should know just how much mana is contained in this sword, in these runes."

Even the crowd gave a nod of agreent when they heard this.

Everyone could see just how big these magic stones were, so they were able to tell what grade of magic stones had been used for this sword.

If magic crystals of this grade were used, it was no wonder there was so much mana contained in these runes.

They all looked at Drogath with looks of disdain once more after hearing this.

It was clear at this point that he wasn't willing to accept his loss and was making all these excuses.

As fellow dwarves, they couldn't help feeling ashad of him.

I just ignored him and went back to the judges while being bombarded with questions.

"It isn't just the magic stones used, there's sothing special about the runes as well."

"That's right, where did you find these runes?"

"Also, how did you imprint them that they could accept this much mana? It just doesn't make any sense at all."

I just revealed a smile without saying anything.

The judges couldn't help becoming more and more anxious when they saw like this.

But slowly, they also started to recognize what was happening.

It was wrong to get knowledge without paying for it, so if they wanted this knowledge…they should show their sincerity.

After a mont of hesitation, they all started making different offers for this knowledge.

However, the offers that they made were all shallow.

They offered their skills which was what they had the most confidence in, but I wasn't interested in that at all.

After all, I had knowledge from the ga, so my techniques were far greater than theirs.

I didn't need their abilities since I could make things that were better than what they had.

The sword on the table was already the best example of this.

As they kept making their offers, it was clear that they weren't planning on going in the direction that I wanted them to.

So instead of forcing it, it was better to give them so ti to mull it over so that they could think it through and finally co to the conclusion that I wanted them to.

With a smile, I said, "Thank you everyone for your offers, but let's talk about this later."

I turned to look at Drogath who was just frozen in place and walked over to him.

When he saw walking over, he couldn't help taking a step back as if he was scared of .

But then he realized what he was doing and stopped himself from moving backwards.

Instead of backing down, he looked at with a defiant look and said, "What do you want?"

I just asked with a smile, "You didn't forget about what we bet on this duel did you? I'm here to collect what is due."

When Drogath heard this, he couldn't help shivering as if a chill ran down his spine.
