Chapter 348 Power of runes
Since both sides had finished forging, the only thing left to do now was to test the blades that they had created to see which side had forged the better blade.
But since I had crafted a dagger with runes, it wasn't suitable to do the same test as before.
Testing the blades against each other wouldn't show the true power of the blade.
Especially since both of them were made of mithril.
Mithril weapons would become stronger when magic was injected into them, so just testing them against each other wasn't a good measure of how good these weapons were.
So instead, we settled on the armour test.
This was testing the weapons against armour prepared.
This would be considered a waste of good armour, but the armour had been prepared by the dwarves in the first place. The armour used were failed products, so it didn't matter if they were cut up.
But even if they were failed products...these were pieces of armour that were made of mithril.
When my human companions saw this, they all revealed looks of regret.
Mithril armour, even failed mithril armour, was considered rare in the human kingdoms.
If they could obtain just even a single set of this failed mithril armour, they would be able to die of happiness.
However, here we were using them as tests for our blades.
It really seemed wasteful...
After the mithril armour was set up, it was our turn to test our blades.
The mithril armour was put on a stand that had a magic crystal inside of it that would release magic into the mithril armour, making it much stronger than normal.
This set of mithril armour failed because it absorbed more magic than normal, which made it harder than normal mithril. That was a problem since that made it too heavy for anyone to wear, so they couldn't find a use for it.
Even if one controlled the amount of magic that they injected into the armour, the mithril armour just kept draining magic without a care.
So there really was no way to use the armour...that was until now.
Since it was so hard, it would be perfect to test the blades on them.
The Dwarven King stepped up first and said, "I'll go first."
I didn't mind at all since I knew that the results from my dagger would go beyond what they expected. It was better to let the Dwarven King go first before going myself since I was confident that I would be able to destroy this armour.
The Dwarven King gave a nod in response to my nod and stepped up in front of the mithril armour with his sword in hand.
He took a deep breath before suddenly giving a roar.
When he did, he slashed out with that sword in his hand.
There was the sound of metal clashing with metal that rang out when the mithril sword in his hand hit the armour, but he didn't cut through it.
He was only able to make a gash in the mithril armour with the sword in his hand, but that was already enough to shock the other dwarves.
They all knew just how hard this failed mithril armour was, so just being able to make this gash was already proof enough of how sharp this mithril sword was.
But on the face of the Dwarven King was a look of disappointment.
It was almost as if he wasn't satisfied with this mithril sword that he forged at all.
With a sigh, the Dwarven King came back and said, "It's your turn now."
I gave a nod before walking forward with the dagger in hand.
As I walked forward, I could feel the gazes of the dwarves on me. Even the Dwarven King's eyes were on me as I came up to the armour.
The Dwarven King had slashed down at the armour from one side, creating a gash on one of the shoulders.
So I would be slashing down on the other shoulder and then comparing the results with the Dwarven King's gash.
But I knew that there wouldn't be anything to compare.
I just calmly stood in front of the armour and took a deep breath before bringing the dagger to place on the left shoulder of the set of armour.
Taking another deep breath, I released my magic power to fill the dagger.
Ever since I obtained the Orb of the Dead, my magic power had awakened.
It was still very weak, but I had been working with Moon to learn how to control it.
She had given me exercises on how to use that magic power and I had been diligently training with those exercises.
So I was able to squeeze out a bit of magic power to use this dagger with.
That was all that I needed since the runes on the dagger already contained magic power. They just needed a little bit of mana to activate the power that was inside.
When the dagger received my mana, the first rune on it started to glow.
Then as more and more of my mana flowed in, all five runes were lit up.
Only then did I bring the dagger down with a deep breath.
The moment that the dagger made contact with the mithril armour...there was no resistance at all.
The dagger cut right through the mithril armour like a hot knife through butter.
I didn't stop after cutting into armour and just pulled my arm all the way down until the dagger came out of the armour the other way.
Just like this, I had cut not only the armour, but also the stand that it was on in half.
The top part of the armour with the stand inside fell off the bottom part.
The bottom part fell to the ground since there was nothing holding it up anymore.
There was a loud clattering sound as both parts fell to the ground.n/(o(-V.-E-)l--b/-1(-n
All that followed afterwards was silence as everyone stared on in shock.
