What entered Bella and Mathias' sight the mont they entered the fifth floor was a whole floor filled with runic armants!
Not only were there nurous weapon stands exhibiting powerful weapons, but even the armors they saw released a terrifying pressure.
The presence of every single piece of runic armant was clearly perceptible. When Nial sensed this, he couldn't help but smile oddly.
It was truly unexpected to encounter so many runic armants. This was even more so the case because the three could clearly sense that amongst the sea of runic armants there were a handful of them powerful enough to montarily suppress their movents.
Only after several seconds passed was Nial able to move.
"Why didn't my Mana sense perceive all of these runic armants?" Nial was utterly dumbfounded.
He was pretty sure that his range of perception had reached the tower's fifth floor and he could also tell that there were so runic armants in the entire tower.
However, what he hadn't been able to perceive were the Tier-1 runic armants that were collecting dust on the tower's fifth floor.
Nial could only smile drily as he used his mana fluctuations to shroud every single piece of equipnt.
There were, at least, 100 Tier-0 runic armants in the entire room that resembled more of a treasure vault than anything else.
Tier-0 runic armants may not be comparable to Tier-1 armants, but each of them was still several tis more powerful than the few items Nial and his friends possessed.
Even the Viper spear was much worse than stronger Tier-0 runic armants.
Swallowing nervously, Nial's eyes shone in delight as his desire to inspect every single piece of runic armant in the room increased manifold.
Mathias and Bella were itching to get their hands on the nurous armants just like him. That was also why Mathias took his first step ahead, his impatience pushing him forward.
"Stop!" Bella suddenly shouted in an alard voice, causing Mathias to freeze. This was exactly what she wanted to happen before she calmly added,
"We don't know if the runic armants are connected to traps. I really don't want to die, so let's be a little bit more careful and not rush hastily!"
It was only obvious that none of them was eager to die. After Bella's warning, they decided to move with vigilance and focused on their surroundings.
However, it didn't take them long to understand that only the first four floors had been filled with lethal traps of all kinds.
This realization made the three youths swiftly lower their guard. When looking at the runic armants in the room, none of them was able to calm down their trembling hands and thumping hearts.
Thus, in a matter of minutes, Nial and the others grabbed a Tier-1 runic armant each and began testing it out.
"The mana consumption is so low!" Mathias exclaid while holding a small wand.
He thought that it resembled the wands used in various movies he had seen in his past life.
As such, he was naturally attracted to them, just to realize that his mana consumption while manifesting Earth spears and other elental attacks were extrely low.
His control over the earthen projectiles around him had increased as well.
'Just by conjuring my Elental affinity through the wand, my mana consumption decreased by more than 10%! With the increased control, I might even be able to conjure four more earthen projectiles considering my current proficiency of the Earth affinity!'
It was only obvious for Mathias to be shocked. Despite not appearing to be anything extraordinary at the first glance, the 30 centiters long black wand in Mathias' hand was an extrely powerful runic armant.
Made from a plank of rare, mana-afine wood, and nurous black, and untraceable runes inscribed on them, it was able to release effects that increased Mathias' strength by far more than 30%!
That was not sothing any kind of Common weapon made by humans was capable of achieving.
Even Superior grade weapons used by Originals at the Prym and even Seclon rank were incapable of achieving such a feat.
Maybe mythical Superior grade wands could exhibit a similar or even the sa effect, but only a handful of such items had been manufactured until now.
Furthermore, one required Advanced Origin rings to wield such a Mythical Superior grade wand, which was entirely different from the Tier-1 wand Mathias was able to wield.
The Seclon rank was what Originals attained while possessing anywhere between four to six Origin rings.
Thus, for them to be barely able to wield a Mythical Superior grade wand was a big thing. After all, it had the sa effect as a Tier-1 wand, which could be used by an Origin rank Original, turning it into a phenonal achievent.
But this clearly showed just how terrifying the existence of runic armants was, and also how weak mankind's technology developnt was.
Nial could only shake his head while smiling bitterly as well.
His heart had already been prepared to receive a shock because the mories of the late Darkness God had already warned him in advance.
There were far more shocking things the mories had shown him than the might of Tier-1 runic armants.
As such, he believed that it would be no problem for him to stay unbothered when testing out the true strength behind a spear, whose tip was fiery hot.
The na engraved on the spear was Dragonfla, which was quite suitable.
By inserting so mana into the Dragonfla spear, it was possible for Nial to choose from a wide variety of options. He could either increase the sharpness, and endurance of the weapon, heat up the blade, or manifest a blazing fla that would envelop the blade as well.
Nial tested out all functions without hesitation. The mana consumption of the rather ordinary functions was not high. However, the effects he could achieve were quite drastic, outclassing the runes that had been inscribed in the Viper spear.
Recalling the high praises the Viper spear had received before, whether it was his own words or the people around him, Nial couldn't help but smile.
'The Dragonfla spear is several tis sharper than the Viper spear in its unenhanced form…If I add the superior runic constellations inscribed on the Dragonfla spear to it, the heat its blade can create and the flas it releases have an additional destructive factor…'
Nial felt a shudder run down his spine.
He couldn't imagine that anyone would leave such valuable pieces of Tier-1 runic armants behind to bite dust.
That was simply unimaginable and made one particular question arise in his mind.
'Who materialized the Ancient ruins dungeon, and what is the goal behind its creation?'
Shaking his head, Nial wielded the Dragonfla spear around him. It was roughly 2.2 ters long, with a broad 30-centiter-long blade at the tip.
Nial may not be able to see the colors of the Dragonfla spear, but he could clearly visualize the weapon thanks to his range of perception.
It was possible for him to sense that the staff had two bulgings tal rings that were evenly spaced along the length of the staff.
Reaching for them, he touched it and imdiately sensed that his ability to control the mana inside the Dragonfla spear increased quite a bit. In fact, he felt that a faint connection was built between him and the Dragonfla spear.
This made it seem as if the Dragonfla spear beca an extension of his arms.
Feeling elated, he continued to wield it for a few minutes. Nial was pretty sure that the Tier-1 runic armant had been crafted by a Master Blacksmith and Runicier!
'Even Interdiate Blacksmiths and Runiciers are able to create Tier-1 runic armants…so why would these few Tier-1 runic armants be here?! They're worth a fortune!'
Turning his attention over to Bella, who had put on a tal chestplate, Nial could only shake his head.
He could clearly sense that Bella's physical strength was enhanced while inserting mana in the platen chestplate.
At the sa ti, it was not difficult for him to sense the compressed layer of protection that shrouded the chestplate.
The runic armor increased Bella's physical strength and defensive ans significantly.
Her enhancents were not enough to compare the runic armor with the Tier-1 weapon Nial and Mathias had picked up.
However, if one wore an entire armor made out of Tier-1 runic armants, the drastic enhancent one would receive was best left to the imagination
Nial could only smile drily as he stored the Dragonfla spear away. He tested out several more armants to his heart's content before he stored everything inside his spatial ring.
The more he thought about the given situation, the weirder he felt about it.
They had only faced so Goblins and a hundred or so traps! Was that was enough for them to be rewarded with a fortune of hundreds of books, and more than 108 Tier-0 and 8 Tier-1 runic armants??
The value of the Tier-1 runic armants was trendous, to put it simply, while the accumulated fortune they were bound to receive from the Tier-0 runic armants ought to be similar.
Even if they were to sell only a third of their gains from one tower, Nial, Bella, and Mathias would beco influential, and wealthy to the extent that they might have trouble thinking of ways to use up the fortune in a lifeti!
This was sowhat scary when one thought about it.
In a re week, they beca filthy rich, and they would be able to advance mankind's technological stance to an unprecedented level.
But at the sa ti, Nial and the others had to be careful.
After all, they had not yet left the ancient ruins dungeon…and neither were they ready to leave anyti soon.
There was still a palace they wanted to enter, especially because the loot inside it should exceed everything they got their hands on in the ruins of the tower so far!
