Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1160 - 753: Wedge-shaped Stone Slab
"What the hell is this?"
Hevi held up, no, he should say lifted, this huge stone slab that suddenly fell from the sky, looking bewildered.
This thing called the Wedge Stone Plate was bigger than his body!
Just now, when this thing fell from the sky, a small corner of it hit his head, almost knocking him unconscious. Thankfully, a piece of Suffocating Dragon Tooth rushed out and blocked it.
He looked down and saw that the Dragon Scale that had just rushed out to defend him was now shattered into pieces all over the ground.
"...Gollum."
The sound of swallowing saliva was clearly audible in this pitch-black space, filled with a sense of the person involved being frightened afterward.
If it weren't for the Suffocating Dragon Tooth blocking it, he might not have just passed out; he'd probably have his head burst into a crimson mess.
"Being crushed to death by a Dungeon's loot sounds way too low-class."
Hevi sighed, shook his head, and tried to lift and inspect the Wedge Stone Plate carefully, but exerting force surprisingly didn't lift it much.
"So heavy! Much heavier than it looks."
He had to urge the Suffocating Dragon Tooth to help, and only then did he manage to prop the Wedge Stone Plate, as big as him, against a wall, during which sweating even broke out on his forehead.
This is definitely not an ordinary object! You can feel it just from the touch!
The surface of the Wedge Stone Plate is a large heavy slab, engraved densely with runes whose meanings are unclear; it looks like it was chiseled and cut, as if it fell from a larger object.
Wedge Stone Plate, Wedge Stone Shard... names so similar, even a fool wouldn't believe there's no connection between them.
Hevi pulled out the Hunting Manual kept as a souvenir, and sure enough, on the latest page appeared the record on the Wedge Stone Plate.
[Wedge Stone Plate]
[The raw material used by craftsmen to enhance weapons, said to be an item owned by the Gods. Weapons forged with this material can achieve an unparalleled perfect state, awakening the weapon's full power]
[The Plate is a crafting material among the Gods, and weapons forged using the Plate can compare with the few legendary weapons, its power sufficient to kill Gods]
"Hiss... hoo..."
His action of flipping through the Hunting Manual paused at this moment, his gaze stuck to the page like someone licking a frozen railing in winter, reading the words over and over.
For a moment, he even doubted if his reading comprehension was malfunctioning; otherwise, otherwise...
"Why would such a level of treasure appear here!"
Hevi could no longer suppress the astonishment inside him and shouted out, his voice penetrating the dispersing Fog Gate and reaching high into the sky.
"Hu, hu..."
The sound of heavy breathing; he could hear his breath becoming beast-like. If placed in Yarn, he'd become beastified instantly.
He knows that the item descriptions from Sain Dungeon are never exaggerated. Like the odorous bomb claiming to drive away strong Dragons actually does; the Wedge Stone Plate before him...
It's truly a super-super-super powerful enhancement material!
Unbelievable, this must be Gold light point-level material, existing on the same level as the Sun Elder Son Ring.
He couldn't believe this is something he could just get from casually visiting a dungeon to complete a job!
"No, this isn't right," he shook his head in disbelief, pacing around the area and muttering to himself:
"This kind of material should follow proper procedures. First, it's accidentally discovered by adventurers who realize the possibility and then spread the information, attracting numerous adventurers' joint efforts. Only after experiencing a fierce and tragic battle with a powerful guardian Demon Beast can it be obtained... why would it be with the Undead Demon!?"
Although the Undead Demon down below is indeed very strong, without a weapon, he really couldn't beat it. At least a seasoned Silver Level adventurer team would be needed to win.
But it doesn't seem worthy of placing such a level of treasure on it!
"Could it be, I'm actually super lucky?"
The Wedge Stone Plate should be randomly dropped in Sain Dungeon, right?
This level of material can't be set as a 100% drop after defeating the Undead Demon, that would be too cheap.
No matter how shocking he feels inside, how inconceivable his emotions are, there's one thing he now knows is certain.
"I've obtained the Wedge Stone Plate!"
Wedge Stone Shards, Large Wedge Stone Shards, Wedge Stone Blocks...
The adventurers noticed early on that these weapon enhancement materials produced within the Sain Dungeon are all fundamentally linked, with the difference being in their size.
In other words, the larger and more complete the wedge stone, the more powerful the enhancement effect. Thus, people have always speculated whether the most complete wedge stone might be the strongest enhancement material.
This speculation has now been verified; it appears the most complete wedge stone disc is indeed the strongest enhancement material!
Hevi held the cold stone block, caressing its surface as if he were stroking the world's most beautiful person, filled with deep affection. If not for the dust on its surface, he would have kissed it.
Until his hands were chafed by the rough texture of the wedge stone disc did he come back to his senses, excitedly shoving the heavy stone into his backpack, and with a buoyant and swift stride, he climbed to the top of the giant pit.
"What weapon should I enhance? It certainly can't be any ordinary weapon; at the very least, it has to be of the level of the Artorias Great Sword."
"Weapons? What a pity, after experimentation, neither wedge stones nor forging stones can be used on weapons. Otherwise, I really want to see if my old pal could get even stronger."
"Does our Church have any powerful weapons? Hmm, it seems not. How about I head over to the Battle Festival now? Even if it kills me, I have to snatch away the Shattered Star General's Great Sword!"
Hevi was completely immersed in thoughts of the future, imagining how great it would be if he could obtain the Sun Elder Son's spear. Surely then, any god in his path would be slain.
He deliberately went back to the Undead Asylum, scavenging some worthless junk just to conceal the wedge stone disc.
Their Starfire Church is currently cooperating with other churches, but even someone least concerned with current affairs knows that if the rebel army wins, this fragile alliance will immediately collapse.
At that time, the churches in the alliance would surely fight over the positions left by the Three Great Churches, akin to a chicken-eating competition, with the church surviving till the end as the ultimate winner.
Therefore, the matter of the wedge stone disc is something Hevi must keep secret, only sharing it with trusted members within the church!
Before taking the great bird back to the Fire Transmission Ceremony and stepping out of the Sain Dungeon, he glanced back at the Sain Dungeon.
"Truly a vault brimming with countless treasures; I'll never forget coming here in my lifetime!"
Because of this uttered sentiment, the Sain Dungeon automatically increased the drop rate of light points above the white level for him, a change he absolutely would not notice.
Pampering those who love the Sain Dungeon, ensuring their smiles, this was all planned out by Gong Qiying early on.
Since adventurers love the Sain Dungeon so much, he would naturally treat them a bit better.
Otherwise, was there any thought of cutting their rewards because they'd surely come regardless, and instead lavish rewards on those unfamiliar few who visit scant times in hopes of expansion?
Don't be ridiculous, Gong Qiying loves treating 'his own people' well.
A short while later.
Hevi successfully utilized his mobility speed to return to the camp without being noticed by anyone. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
What is called a camp is actually a temporary residence assembled with magic; each church has its own dwelling, and the Golden Church, having rushed here now, is still in the midst of building, causing quite a ruckus nearby.
As soon as Hevi returned, he used dragon scales to soundproof his room and conveyed the happenings here to the bishops far away through remote communication magic tools.
The magic tool was brought by the Starfire Knight, who had previously performed imitations of the Eternal Darkness, and is a reinforcement from Yanor Kingdom. There are quite a few others like him, but most are at the rebel army's headquarters.
"Your Grace, do we possess any Legendary level weapons? I can hardly contain my enthusiasm for enhancement."
"Hevi, you seem to have overlooked a very important question."
On the opposite end, the distant Archbishop Jenoson from Yanor Kingdom sighed deeply and said earnestly:
"Where exactly will you find a blacksmith capable of using the wedge stone disc?"
"..."
Hevi was stunned for a moment, his enthusiasm suddenly doused by a bucketful of cold water.
An overwhelming amount of information combined in his mind, ultimately forming into a formula.
Desiring to enhance a weapon using the wedge stone disc — seeking a blacksmith capable of utilizing this item — known blacksmiths are in the forest region or Academy Gate Town — he needs to find a way to reach those old areas.
The instant this equation was comprehended by him, a flame named exploration and pioneering reignited within Hevi.
"I've got to turn this Sain Dungeon inside out!"
And just like that, the Starfire Church was wholly absorbed within the Sain Dungeon.
Meanwhile, not so far from here, within the command city of the Holy Light Church established along this battle line.
A group of Holy Light Knights finally returned here.
