Weapon Enchantment
According to the information obtained, this disturbance in the Void is not the entire Void, but a part located in Icathia... to be precise, it is the remaining Void Creature in the crashed area of Monolith Fortress.
Based on what Yuan Chen has learned during this period, the inheritance of the Void is very special. Apart from the chaotic Void and the pure Void mentioned before, the Void itself did not have any will in the beginning, but was a pure sea of nothingness.
However, after Runeterra came into contact with the Void, numerous ripples appeared in this sea of nothingness. In order to restore calm to the Void, the life forms born within these ripples—the original Watchers— decided to destroy the entire Runeterra.
The Void Creature in Monolith Fortress... likely do not have Watchers, but are remnants of life from the Void War a thousand years ago.
These Void Creature vividly remember Ixialia through the memory transmission between individuals. With the opening of the kingdom, Ixialia's act of removing the Concealment Spell also drew the attention of these Ixialia Void Creature, who then decided to launch a revenge attack.
After all, if the Monolith Fortress hadn't crashed into the land of Icathia, shattering the stability of its fissures, then at least the entire eastern Shurima would have been completely torn apart by the spreading Void before the arrival of the Golden Army.
Although this part of the Void cannot represent the entire Void, no one knows what strange creatures these Void have produced after thousands of years of reproduction...
Call for backup; it's not shameful.
Standing on the shore waiting, Yuan Chen didn't feel ashamed for calling for reinforcements. Or perhaps, if Nedeli and Nila's help could reduce the number of deaths in this war, then losing face wouldn't matter.
He didn't have to wait long, only about ten minutes, before Yuan Chen saw a rainbow-like, brilliant light of dawn appear on the distant horizon.
Bathed in the light of dawn, a beautiful, agile lioness, adorned with Heavenly Power, led a pride of more than ten lions as they galloped in.
When she was still about twenty meters away from Yuan Chen, the leading lioness leaped into the air, drawing a dazzling arc in mid-air. In a few spins, she transformed from her original ten-meter-long body into a tall woman of about 1.75 meters.
Her skin remained a healthy, vibrant wheat color, and her hair was still the same, only now even more radiant than when she had just completed her job change. That golden hue, under the sunlight, was virtually indistinguishable from flowing gold to the naked eye.
If I had to pinpoint anything special about her... it would be Nedeli's eyes.
After this period of familiarization, his body has been elevated under the transformation of the Heavenly Power, and the brilliance in his eyes is no longer the color he had when he was a mortal, but as dazzling and radiant as the stars.
"Haven't seen you for a long time."
Upon hearing Yuan Chen's greeting, Nedeli raised an eyebrow, then circled Yuan Chen twice, a smile appearing on her lips.
"The aura around you... has changed a lot."
"Yes, some things have happened."
Yuan Chen shook his head helplessly and looked at Nedeli, asking bluntly, "How well do you understand the Dawn Power now?"
"I have it completely." Nedeli stretched out her palm, and the Shimmer of dawn formed a burning flame in her hand. Catalyzed by power, it instantly transformed into a sharp spear:
"If we did it again now, I would beat you to a pulp!"
"Hehehe, I deserve at least two-thirds of the credit for your good fortune, right?"
Hearing Nedeli's confident voice, Yuan Chen temporarily forgot the pressure of the Void and couldn't help but chuckle:
"While you certainly deserve the right to inherit the Dawn Power, if I hadn't delivered the Azure Starfire to you, you might still be scavenging for food with the lions on the edge of the forest right now."
"Hmm... that makes sense." Hearing Yuan Chen's words, Nedeli didn't seem to care, instead shrugging indifferently.
"But what does that have to do with me beating you to a pulp?"
"?" Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen tilted his head in confusion. "We haven't seen each other for a while... where did you learn all these principles from?"
"Isn't that what you told me?"
Nedeli shrugged nonchalantly, a slight smile and subtle smugness in her eyes as she said:
The civilized world generally refers to this as "maturity."
Having been outmaneuvered by Nedeli, Yuan Chen's expression showed a hint of speechlessness.
"You learn this stuff really fast... but you probably don't need it to lead a pride of lions, do you?"
As he spoke, Yuan Chen shook his head and simply took out half a jar of pure Dragon Blood and some dragon materials from his spatial silk bag.
This was Nedeli's spoils from the War of the Dragons.
Upon seeing the half-empty jar of pure Dragon Blood, Nedeli raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there any Pure Dragon Blood left?"
Although they did not participate in the distribution process, based on the distribution before the battle, the final distribution of pure Dragon Blood was one jar each for Yuan Chen, the Meat-toothed Beast, and Lupe, and half a jar for the villagers.
Nedeli wasn't included because Nedeli left on her own after the battle. During her process of absorbing the Heavenly Power to become Dawn Bringer, she didn't participate in the distribution of the spoils.
There are many kinds of Dragon Blood, and purified Dragon Blood is equally effective. However, as the only Pure Dragon Blood inside the Dragon Heart, whether used directly to temper weapons or as an enchanting material, it is incomparable to simple purified Dragon Blood.
Logically speaking... this should have been used up long ago.
And even if you don't finish using it all, there's no need to keep it for yourself...
In response, Yuan Chen stated simply, "This is the remaining portion, which was agreed upon before the hunt even began."
"I've been saving this for you. I won't take it just because you're busy changing jobs. I won't embezzle my partner's loot, so don't worry about it."
Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Nedeli gave Yuan Chen a strange look, then simply said:
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
With that, Nedeli took it directly and tossed it behind her, where it landed in the mouth of a lion that had come along.
After inheriting the Dawn Power and becoming Dawn Bringer, Nedeli's strength increased rapidly. While she couldn't compare to some powerful ancient dragons, ordinary Elemental Drake were no match for Nedeli.
The power of Dawn Power, has a natural suppressive effect on dragons.
In this situation, as long as Nedeli doesn't actively provoke these Elemental Drake, they will avoid Nedeli due to the influence of the celestial aura.
To be honest, apart from pure Dragon Blood, other dragon materials have limited use for Nedeli right now—but they are invaluable to the lion pride.
By fusing with the Dawn Power, it might be possible to produce a large number of dragon-born monsters within the pride.
So-called magical beasts are powerful wild animals that have mastered magic and magical power. And dragonborn are the Great Demon among magical beasts.
It can be said that, apart from beings like Nedeli who were elevated through the Heavenly Power, in most cases, having the word "dragon" in one's name indicates that such magical beasts are stronger than ordinary magical beasts.
Considering that the Elemental Drake hunted by Yuan Chen and the others were fire elementals, Nedeli's pride of lions should also be called "Fire Dragon Lions" or "Dragonborn Flame Lions" after the transformation is completed.
Although Nedeli can no longer be categorized by her biological origins, her thinking is still influenced by Nedeli pride's mindset, stemming from her lion pride background.
After Nedeli put away her share of the spoils, Yuan Chen didn't sit idle. Instead, he manipulated the Flying Dagger knives at his waist, which flew out of their scabbards.
Twelve sharp blades were displayed before Nedeli, with Yuan Chen manipulating six of them.
"...?"
Looking at the six Dragon Tooth blades that resembled works of art, Nedeli raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously, "Are you... showing off to me?"
"You're overthinking it. I'm not that free."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen shook his head and said:
"This is a flying blade forged from Dragon Tooth, and it hasn't been enchanted yet. Your Dawn Power is one of the highest-level powers I can access. Please do me a small favor."
Upon hearing Yuan Chen's request, Nedeli did not refuse. Instead, she simply reached out and took the blade floating in front of her, then channeled the Dawn Power within her to imbue it with her own energy.
There are many ways to enchant, the most common being engraving during the forging process and enchanting through magic spells.
The advantages of this enchanting method are its stability and convenience. Some low-level spell enchantments can even be mass-produced using Magic Item.
However, its drawback lies in its singular effect; apart from the predetermined magical effect within the spell, it has no other uses.
For example, if you inscribe a fiery spell, then your weapon can only become fiery; it cannot be enchanted to have effects like ice, sharpness, or poison.
Furthermore, spell enchantments cannot be changed. Attempting to alter an enchantment after it has been applied will most likely render the entire weapon unusable.
It's not that it can't be changed, but rather that changing the technique isn't just a matter of adding or modifying a few strokes; it involves the entire weapon's energy cycle and even its material compatibility.
The enchanting method Nedeli is currently using is "energy tempering," commonly known as energy enchanting.
This enchanting method has rather demanding requirements, as it requires the materials used to forge the weapon to be of sufficient quality, such as Dragon Tooth, which possess innate Mana Circuit that can be used for tempering.
Secondly, a large amount of high-quality energy is needed to fully permeate the weapon inside and out in order to change the weapon's inherent properties.
After the demanding energy enchantment is completed, the weapon's performance will experience a qualitative leap based on the intensity of the energy itself.
Just like now, after the first blade completed its energy tempering, its quality was directly upgraded from Epic Lower Grade to Epic Upper Grade!
