Chapter 562 Ancient Ruins (6)

Rudra reached the top of the mage tower as he used Excalibur's size expansion to use his full might and chop the black crystal in half.

Rudra expected a loud clang , or a great resistance when his sword came in contact with the black crystal however instead the moment Excalibur's edge came into contact with the black crystal , it caught black fire , as within moments the dark gold grade sword was turned into a pool of metal.

Rudra was utterly stupefied , as he watched the destruction of his beloved sword with his own eyes , as he understood that the crystal was something that he should not mess with lightly , lest he suffer consequences.

However not one to give up on things he desperately wanted , Rudra decided to take the metal rod that was supporting the crystal out , and use that metal itself to hammer the crystal to break into smaller pieces.

Should any metallurgist have seen Rudra at that moment , they would have died of heartattack as Rudra took a very rare form of enhanced t.i.tanium , that was nearly indestructible and used it as a battering ram for mining death crystal.

The value of the metal itself was 15 million gold per gram , and the rod in Rudra's hands was already 2 kgs while there were 3 more of it.

Rudra could have pocketed a fortune by only selling the rods , however his sights were set on the mysterious black crystal as everything else was secondary.

For half a day Rudra degraded one rod at a time as he broke the huge diamond crystal into smaller and smaller chunks storing them into his inventory.

Although he had no idea about the origins of the crystal or what use he had for it , he had a gut feeling that it would be very useful for the guild , hence he worked his a** off to mine it.

Everyone had significant gains at the end of the one day , while facing moderate risk. As every major structure in the ruins hid a valuable secret , hence when the elites rea.s.sembled at the end of one day everyone had wide smiles as they shared information about their loots.

Karna and Skyla had found an ancient library where they found Four One time use tier 4 spell scrolls .

The spell was the ancient version of the skill ' Chasm fall ' , as it was called [ endless chasm ]

It was a tier 4 spell that created 30 feet chasm falls over a terrain randomly with earth spikes being at the end of that fall , which resulted in a 100% kill for anyone unfortunate enough to be caught within the move.

The four scrolls if used properly could easily neutralize a million troops for sure , which could change the momentum of the war!

Rudra hence gave a thumbs up to the duo.

Jhonny and Yume had explored what they thought was the bull fighting arena , as they had to fight against mutated undead bulls there as hundereds of thousands of ghost spectators placed bets on their death.

Apparently they were chased around quite a bit before Jhonny remembered that he could just let the bull pa.s.s through without hurting himself , as then he defeated the Bulls within 10 minutes.

This caused Yume to fly into rage for having to perform unnecessary cardio. However despite the duo's squabbles they managed to gain the blueprint for making the bull fighting arena, which was useless towards the war effort however useful for a booming economy.

Neatwit and Yua had found good accessories from a blacksmithing hall , while Bo and SMG had found lost alchemy recipes that could make a myriad of potent potions .

The most potent potion amongst them was the camouflage potion , that gave the user the ability to completely blend into their surroundings while being still.

Overall the loot was extremely rea.s.suring as the antic.i.p.ation for what the biggest building in the ancient ruins held became even higher.

The building was designed as a church , however it was not the church of the G.o.dess of light but some unknown male G.o.d.

Around the ma.s.sive temple was an equally ma.s.sive graveyard which was covered in purple mist and although nothing seemed out of the ordinary , Rudra had a feeling in his spine that this was an extremely dangerous place as the group took every step cautiously in a tight formation , ready to counter anything that may pop up.

Although the elites did not know it , the temple was actually dedicated to the G.o.d of death and the original ruler of h.e.l.l , the one who presided over the dead before Lucifer usurped the throne.

Hades ruled over the underworld as a servant of the one true G.o.d as the strongest reagent at the peak of tier 6.

Having an amiable relations.h.i.+p with all other G.o.ds and even with the G.o.dess of light , Hades was wors.h.i.+pped by the ancients as a revered deity and was hailed as the father of demonkind.

However tricked into providing shelter to the fallen angel Lucifer , Hades was put into slumber by the devil as he rose to become the antiG.o.d as he took over the control of the underworld.

With the fall of the death G.o.d , started the chaos between heaven and earth as the world was divided between the light and the dark , with factions being born .

Lucifer headed the faction that wanted to destroy the one true G.o.d , while the G.o.ddess of light and the other archangels protected the true G.o.d's teachings.

With time the legend of the death G.o.d Hades started being forgotten by humans as Lucifer wiped his existence from all the tales , as now he was but a memory in the fleeting history.

However within the ancient ruins , the death G.o.d's glory was at full display , as the elites were at the brink of a great disaster as well as a once in a lifetime opportunity.
