Chapter 46: Chapter46-The Second Form of the Godslayer Staff!
Spatial magic?
Owen examined the surrounding mirrors, vaguely sensing that they weren’t real mirrors but rather spatial magic resembling illusions.
Without the family crest, anyone entering here would be lost among the mirrors, unable to obtain any of the items within.
The more the Azure royal family cherished these treasures, the more layers of protection they added to the Kingdom Vault.
Owen’s excitement grew. After all, only items that the royal family valued would be kept here!
Owen immediately used his mind power to manipulate mana perception, spreading out like invisible tendrils in all directions.
Every mirror around him contained an independent mirrored space, each holding a single treasure.
The interwoven light and shadows from the mirrored spaces created a dazzling and confusing spectacle.
“A master-tier staff! And it’s forged from the horn of an earth dragon. If this were to be auctioned, it would drive platinum-tier mages mad, and even diamond-tier mages might bid for it…”
In one of the mirrors, Owen perceived a crescent-shaped staff.
It was covered in dense dragon bone patterns, as if an earth dragon was coiled around the staff, exuding an oppressive aura that slowed one’s breath.
If Owen didn’t already have the Godslayer Staff, he wouldn’t have passed up this earth dragon staff.
“Nine-leaf begonia…”
“The bones of a void spellbeast…”
A cursory glance at the surrounding mirrors left Owen dazzled and drooling over the treasures.
The depth of the Azure Kingdom’s heritage was indeed astonishing.
However, Owen quickly suppressed his greed. The mana fluctuations in this space were unique.
Even with Princess Marry’s family crest, taking too many items would undoubtedly alert others.
Finding the Godslayer Staff was the top priority.
As Owen’s expression grew serious, he suddenly noticed an ancient parchment scroll in a nearby mirrored space.
The parchment was yellowed, as brittle as a thin crisp, but it emitted strong mana fluctuations.
Its appearance matched Leslie’s description of the royal treasure map almost exactly.
Owen’s eyes lit up as he carried the family crest into the mirror. Inside, the space was small but brightly lit.
He slowly unrolled the parchment, examining it with curiosity.
The terrain, the inscriptions, and the unique mana fluctuations left on it—this was indeed the treasure map of the Azure royal family! It was also the item Leslie had been yearning for.
It was rumored that the greatest treasure of the Azure Kingdom was stored there, a heritage left by the ancestors of the Azure royal family.
It was not to be opened unless the kingdom faced the danger of destruction.
Owen was quite curious about this. As he closely examined the treasure map, he squinted and murmured with interest:
“So, the treasure is located in the mountains at the border between Kyrik and the Azure Kingdom. No wonder there has been constant warfare between the two countries. The greatest treasure of the Azure royal family isn’t gold, but…”
Before he could finish speaking, the Kingdom Vault suddenly trembled, indicating that someone guarding the vault had been alerted.
Owen quickly stored the parchment in his storage ring and, not daring to waste any more time, rushed out of the mirrored space.
He expanded his senses, continuing his search for the Godslayer Staff fragment.
As Owen continued his in-depth search and neared the center of the space, he noticed that the mana fluctuations from the mirrors were becoming weaker.
While he was feeling puzzled, his eyebrows raised as he locked onto a mirror that had no mana fluctuations at all.
Inside the mirrored space was a very ordinary wooden box, about the size of a head. The wood was yellowed and dull, showing no remarkable features.
However, this was the Kingdom Vault of the Azure Kingdom.
The items stored here were rare and extraordinary treasures that would cause a sensation in the outside world.
The more ordinary something appeared here, the more unusual it likely was!
Besides, Owen’s intuition told him that this box was not simple.
Without hesitation, Owen rushed into the mirrored space.
Once inside the small space, he realized that not only was the mana around the box isolated, but even the mana within his own body felt repelled and unusual.
He attempted to use his mind power like a light veil to cover the wooden box and probe its secrets.
However, the box seemed to be an excellent shield, preventing him from sensing anything inside.
However, upon closer inspection, Owen suddenly noticed a conical hole at the top of the box.
It seemed perfectly shaped to fit the Godslayer Staff!
Owen’s heart surged with excitement.
No wonder the Azure royal family had kept such tight control over the news of obtaining the Godslayer Staff fragment.
Even if they had revealed it, no one would have believed it.
Without the main body of the Godslayer Staff, even if someone obtained this wooden box, they wouldn’t be able to open it.
Thus, it could only be temporarily stored in the Kingdom Vault. This wooden box could only be opened by him!
Feeling a slight joy in his heart, Owen grasped the Godslayer Staff in his right hand.
The dark gold staff emitted a radiant golden light, making the small mirrored space appear as if it had been coated with a layer of gold leaf.
Then, as if sensing something, the Godslayer Staff began to hum softly, seemingly wanting to fly out of his hand and toward the wooden box.
Seeing this, Owen hesitated no longer. He inserted the bottom of the Godslayer Staff into the top of the box.
Click…
The seams of the wooden box fit perfectly with the Godslayer Staff!
Owen gently turned the Godslayer Staff, and the box, like a tightly clenched fist, slowly opened, revealing a section of the Godslayer Staff’s handle.
The handle was not large, emitting a soft glow and exuding an indestructible aura, as if neither the passage of time nor any magical attack could destroy it.
Then, as the box opened further, the handle rose and fused with the Godslayer Staff.
At that moment, Owen suddenly felt a sense of completeness, as if something missing had been restored.
The Godslayer Staff then began to tremble more violently, and a vast wave of mana surged from within it!
Boom!
The immense mana wave expanded rapidly, filling every corner of the mirrored space.
Unable to withstand this terrifying power, the mirrored space quickly developed spiderweb-like cracks and shattered.
As this mirrored space broke apart, the terrifying mana wave spread in all directions, affecting the entire Kingdom Vault.
All the mirrors in the area shook violently, and the space became unstable, as if it would shatter under the intense mana waves.
Owen gripped the Godslayer Staff even tighter, feeling a terrifying power flowing into him.
Although it didn’t elevate his tier, it deepened his connection with the Godslayer Staff.
The Godslayer Staff also became more responsive and agile, no longer the cold, unyielding weapon it had been.
The waves and aura it emitted were now several times stronger!
Even though his tier hadn’t changed, his combat power increased significantly thanks to the enhanced Godslayer Staff.
If he were to fight Alfonso and the Fire Dragon King again with the enhanced Godslayer Staff, the Supreme Sword would wipe them out instantly, giving them no chance to fight back.
As Owen felt the transformation of the Godslayer Staff, the system’s voice slowly sounded:
“Congratulations to the host for unlocking the second form of the Godslayer Staff—Guardian Shield.”
“Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Guardian Shield skill—Echo Barrier.”
Owen wasn’t surprised by the system’s announcement.
The Godslayer Staff had seven forms in total. Previously, unlocking the Supreme Sword form granted him powerful offensive skills.
Now, it seemed he had unlocked a defensive form.
With a touch of anticipation, Owen looked at the system interface.
Guardian Shield, the second form of the Godslayer Staff, grants the skill—Echo Barrier. All projectile attacks can be absorbed by the Guardian Shield and reflected back with three times the damage.
Note: This skill ignores level differences but can only be used twice a day!*
After reading the skill description, Owen was so excited he almost burst out laughing.
A divine skill! Another divine skill!
Although it only deflected projectile attacks, ignoring level differences and reflecting three times the damage was incredibly powerful! This skill touched upon the level of fundamental rules!
