Chapter 748 - 748 13 The Arcane Pathway and High-End Teammates 7200

748: Chapter 13 The Arcane Pathway and High-End Teammates (7200) 748: Chapter 13 The Arcane Pathway and High-End Teammates (7200) The Thunderous Sword, three meters long, was a weapon that only Giants could use, and indeed, Martin of the Hanging Peak who actually wielded it was a Giant—this was due to the unique Bloodline Inheritance of their clan known as the ‘Thunderous Behemoth.’

The Thunderous Behemoth is a type of Bison Giant Cow that has undergone Demon-beast Transformation.

Its size is colossal, almost comparable to an elephant, with thick fur all over its body that can accumulate a tremendous amount of electricity during movement, and then launch thunderous electric arcs with its spiral horns to attack enemies.

If Ian hadn’t killed Martin in an instant, and had instead given him a moment to exert his strength, then this chieftain of the Hanging Peak Sect would have even been able to demonstrate what is known as ‘Thunderous Body.’ In the fierce movements of battle, his flesh could generate an electrical force exceeding two hundred thousand volts, and with the Thunderous Sword, he could easily reach over seven hundred thousand volts.

By then, the entire street block would be scorched and shattered by the overflowing current, and even Armor Suits are likely to be pierced by electricity.

This was obviously a weapon that Sublimators specializing in lightning properties dreamed of, not only enhancing the innate electrical Origin Quality with their Inheritance but also possessing several additional abilities, indeed, worthy of the name of the last work of the Mountain Great Craftsman.

But Ian wanted to dismantle it.

“The Swift Thunder Bow, the Thunderous Sword, and the Heavy Stone Long Stick… all are valuable items.”

Ian, looking at the three weapons placed on the workshop table, was quite pleased.

The other two weapons, naturally, couldn’t compare with the Thunderous Sword.

The Swift Thunder Bow only had the bowstring as a valuable part, crafted from the electric tendons of the Illusory Light River Eel.

It generates an extremely intense high-heat current when stimulated by Primordial Essence.

Guided through the Inscriptions on the bow, this power could be concentrated on a specially made charged arrowhead to achieve an effect close to a charged-armour-piercing cannon.

As for the Heavy Stone Long Stick, it was destroyed.

Its sole usefulness lay in attracting rocks from the surroundings with Primordial Essence to increase its weight and destructive power, highly favored by Earth-element Sublimators of Phantasms and the complete opposite of Floatstone.

However, the last Silver-Scaled Dragon Ring was truly valuable.

[Silver-Scaled Dragon Ring]

[Third Power Level・Spirit Energy Accessory・Damaged・Foundation・Edible]

[A Spirit Energy defensive accessory crafted by the Great Craftsman Chrome Hamer by modifying the Scales of the Dragon God.

When intact, it could momentarily restore a Silver Scale protective shield with the peak strength of the Third Power Level, but became damaged more than two hundred years ago when the Dragon God High Priest and the Southern Expedition Legion Commander of the Empire battled, enduring attacks far exceeding its defensive ceiling.]

[Currently, it’s incapable of producing a 360-degree defense with no blind spots, and its defense ceiling has been reduced.]

[The wearer of this ring is a descendant of the oldest inheritance among Mountain People.]

[Contained Primordial Essence: 8497.7393 Foundation Units]

[…]

This is clearly a Third Energy Level defensive Spirit Energy accessory!

Even though it’s damaged, its strength is still quite exceptional among Third Energy Level accessories.

Especially that ‘Edible’ part…

“So the material belongs to the Fifth Energy Level, huh?”

Expectantly eyeing this inconspicuous ring, and then shaking his head with some disappointment, Ian thought, “The essence of Primordial Essence is only a tiny bit for defense; before it was damaged, it might be used as a scrap material from High Energy Level Ancient Dragons.

But now, not so much…

However, I can borrow this defensive pretext to further optimize the defensive strength of my Silver Scale Armor.”

After all, it was a defensive shield that barely survived being hit by thirty-one rounds of concentrated fire from a Charged Rifle and a hit from Ian’s main cannon powered by the Aether Crystal of an Ancient Dragon Heart Core.

When it comes to hardness, Ian, himself, might have to admit it somewhat.

Ian had reason to suspect that within the Inheritance’s abilities related to the Unyielding Fortress and the Ancient Dragons line, there must be elements of the Qing Steel Dragon involved—after all, the two designers of this True Form Heritage must have read the Book of Silver Radiance and known the secrets of the Qing Steel Dragon.

It was only natural for him to borrow from it.

Putting the ring on his wrist—since it is designed for a Giant over three meters tall, for Ian’s size, it could only be used as a bracelet—the youth turned his head, looking towards the bald craftsman with a frown: “How about it, using the Thunderous Sword and Swift Thunder Bow as raw materials for the weapons system of the Powered Armor, is it possible?”

“…Yes.”

Ambur’s face showed bitter distress, or rather pity: “I might be bothering you with this, but I have to tell you, the Thunderous Sword itself has significant value as a Sublimation Weapon beyond its historical significance to Mountain People.”

“It also has great cultural value.

Even selling it to a museum for their collection… What I mean is, it’s really expensive, almost ten thousand Talle, or even more!”

That wasn’t mere talk from Ambur—materials from Second Energy Level Magical Beasts could be worth a couple of thousand Talle, if not more.

The metal used for crafting Sublimation Weapons and other materials might be cheaper, but in large quantities, they’d have roughly the same price.

And a functional Second Energy Level Sublimation Weapon is valuable enough to be comparable to Magic Potions of the same level.

The raw materials of the Thunderous Sword might total up to about two thousand Talle.

Although its abilities are rather primitive and can’t compare to the power of Sublimation Weapons developed in recent years, in terms of its commemorative and collectible value, it’s quite normal to value it over ten thousand Talle.

In the hands of wealthy Sublimators with a taste for such ancient items, it could be sold for all the research funds currently in Ian’s possession!

But then there was the problem.

“Selling such a weapon through an auction would take at least half a year to find a buyer, to receive the payment, and to buy materials.

By then, our ashes and mud could probably be used to grow vegetables.”
