Chapter 347 Runes (2)

Chapter 347 Runes (2)

I just ignored their disappointed looks and focused on my work.

Slowly, I carved more and more ruins onto the dagger, but they were still inactive.

For these ruins to have any effect on the dagger, they needed to be infused with magic first.

I was just carving them into the dagger first without the magic. Once I finished engraving these runes on the dagger, I would need Moon's help to activate them with magic.

I slowly but surely carved out five different ruins on the dagger.

There was still space for more runes to be carved onto the dagger, but I felt that five was enough for now.

If it was any more, Moon might not have enough mana to activate them all and there was no need to mention the miniscule amount of mana that I had.

So five should be considered the limit.

But then again, it wasn't as if I was creating a dagger to kill the gods with, so five was already more than enough.

Once I finished carving, I waved for Moon to come over.

She came to my side and looked at the runes that I had carved with a curious look.

She had never seen these runes before, but she could tell that there was some strange power that was coming from it. She could feel that as long as there was magic infused into these runes, they would demonstrate some kind of incredible power.

So Moon couldn't help feeling a bit excited seeing these runes.

She looked at me and asked, "What do I need to do?"

I was happy seeing that she was interested in this, it would mean that she would do a better job since she was interested to see how this would turn out.

I pointed at one of the runes and said, "Inject your magic after I've finished spreading the powder. That will finish the magic infusion of the runes and allow it to absorb mana to operate."

Moon gave a nod before reaching her hand up over the rune.

Seeing this, I took a pinch of the powder that I had requested.

This powder was mithril powder.

Mithril was a metal that was very good at conducting magic, which was why it was a very sought after metal.

If it was used in armour, it would be able to conduct magic to become stronger. At the same time, it would allow magic to pass through, which would lower the effectiveness of any spell thrown at the person wearing the armour.

If it was used in a weapon, then it would allow the user to inject magic into the weapon, making it even more powerful either in the form of making it sharper or infusing it with some kind of elemental magic.

Mithril was a metal that was very useful in this sense, which was why it was so sought after.

As for the powdered mithril, it would also conduct magic, allowing us to create a magic circuit on the runes that would allow them to absorb mana and activate.

Once the mithril powder was spread on the first rune, Moon released her mana and infused it.

The main magic circuit was in the rune, so the powder was just there to catch the mana that Moon infused.

Once the mana was infused into the rune, the rune released a glow before dimming.

However, the rune no longer looked like scratches made on the surface of the dagger. Rather, it looked like a silver painted rune on the dagger because of the mithril powder sticking to it.

Seeing this, I knew that the first rune had been finished, so I moved on to the second rune.

Using the same process as the first rune, we infused the second, third, fourth, and fifth rune with magic.

When we were done, the dagger now had five silver looking runes engraved onto it.

At the same time, there was a strong magic power that came from the dagger itself.

Just based on this, it was clear that these runes had turned this dagger into a magic weapon.

But just that wasn't enough for this dagger to qualify as a proper magic weapon.

It would depend on what abilities these runes would give the dagger.

When the dwarves looked at the dagger that I held, they noticed that they didn't recognize the runes at all. The runes that were engraved on this dagger were completely different from any runes that they had seen before.

Even those that had studied runes before weren't able to figure out what these runes were or what they meant.

So they all couldn't help being curious as to what this dagger was capable of.

But it wasn't time to demonstrate that yet since the Dwarven King still wasn't finished with his forging yet.

He had been watching our forging a bit, but he had also been focused on his own weapon.

This was a normal sized sword that was completely made of mithril.

With the sheen that this sword possessed, it was clear that it was a very sharp sword.

It seemed like it could even cut a hair in half with how sharp it was.

After putting on the finishing touches, the Dwarven King brought his sword forward with a satisfied look on his face.n/(OvelB1n

When he was done, the Dwarven King was finally able to come over and admire our dagger.

The other dwarves who had been crowding around it, trying to figure out just what these runes did made room for him to study this dagger.

After looking at it for a bit, he said, "These are quite interesting, I've never seen them before. But I can sense the magic power coming from them and I can tell that these runes definitely aren't weak. How did you engrave them on?"

I just said with a faint smile, "How about we test them first before I say anything?"

The Dwarven King looked at the dagger again before saying with a nod, "Alright."

He was also interested in seeing this dagger in action.

He wanted to see just what these runes could do.
