Magic Weapon Skills Are What Make You Superior!

The name "Zane Dungeon" is probably known to people in every country to some extent.

The countries surrounding the Arnor Kingdom are probably very familiar with this name.

People regard every underground city as a strategic resource, and the emergence of a new underground city can often bring about tremendous changes to the local area.

Putting aside the obvious fact that dungeons attract adventurers and boost the local economy, if there are powerful rewards within dungeons that are worthy of people's attention, then the entire country will benefit from it.

Besides its military prowess, the Warrior Country is also renowned for its excellent mineral resources. This fame stems not only from the abundant mineral veins on the map but also from several mineral-producing dungeons, including the Boulder Dungeon.

The most recent and obvious example of how dungeons can change one's fate is the Arnor Kingdom.

If it weren't for the emergence of the Zane Dungeon, the entire country would probably be a dead zone ravaged by monsters by now, due to the Black Eagle Rebellion —no, it would probably have been during the Meteor Shower.

Little Reid was able to fulfill his ancestors' wish thanks to the appearance of the Zane Dungeon, and successfully ate rice from two powerful nations.

However, the Rhinos are currently keen on using the underground city to migrate to those two countries and stay there permanently. Although it's nice to stay in their hometown and eat rice, it's even better to migrate to a better country and live a more comfortable life.

With these two countries serving as living examples, it's hard for the Zane Dungeon to remain unknown.

Furthermore, King Anzi III of the Arnor Kingdom personally testified to the threat posed by the demons and evil gods, and demonstrated the effectiveness of the Happiny in resisting the Fallen Devil Egg. For a time, the Happiny produced in the Zane Dungeon were sold out several times, and even now they remain a hot commodity in the eyes of merchants.

When the existence of the Fallen Devil Egg was made public, for a time, people with even a little power required those around them to eat a Happiny to check if they were demons, not to mention the nobility. Even disregarding its demon-detection effects, the Happiny itself was delicious enough, and it remains an indispensable delicacy on many people's tables to this day.

Unfortunately, when the Arnor Kingdom realized the demand for Happiny from various countries, it began to restrict exports, thus making a considerable profit in the short term.

"Boss, do you still have any Happiny today? I'd like to order two servings."

"Sorry, we've run out of slots for today."

"Huh? I got up really early this morning to come here, and it's gone already?"

In the Black Rock City market, a young man dressed from head to toe as a classic adventurer Warrior was pounding on the counter, looking somewhat agitated. Beside him, a young woman dressed as a classic adventurer mage was covering her forehead and sighing while trying to calm him down.

Warrior and mage, a very classic combination.

Various statistics often use the term "adventurer" in a general way, such as which area of Zane Dungeon has the highest adventurer mortality rate, or which area is most popular among adventurers. But what exactly qualifies someone as an adventurer? Is it someone who is registered in a guild? Or someone who engages in adventure activities?

This combination of two young men and women is the most classic in every aspect; you can tell at a glance that they are adventurers!

They best fit the stereotypical image of adventurers in the public eye, also known as passersby.

"There aren't any left. There's a real shortage of Happiny lately," the restaurant owner sighed. "The last truck that delivered them was attacked by unknown monsters outside the city. We won't be able to eat Happiny for a while now."

"How could this be?" The boy sat down on the ground with an expression that said, "There is no hope for my future." His expression was full of unwillingness to accept the current situation.

"Aren't you adventurers? The Zane Dungeon has recently opened, why don't you go there and try to find a solution?" the shopkeeper said.

"We're on our way in there, but not for the Happiny."

The boy glanced at the girl, and she looked at him at the same time. Their eyes met, and it was as if a spark flew through the air.

The boy's expression immediately turned serious, and he said, "Weapon Skill are the strongest."

The girl raised her eyebrows and emphasized, word by word, "Magicians are the superior beings."

"The strongest Weapon Skill!"

Magic is the best!

In the blink of an eye, their foreheads collided, staring intently into each other's eyes, their faces contorted as if they were ghosts!

"Today I'm going to show you just how powerful that Zane Dungeon, who taught me Weapon Skill, really is!" the boy shouted.

"Hmph, I hear you talking about Sien Sien all the time, go and see for yourself!" The girl gave a mocking sneer.

The two of them, maintaining their strange postures, walked towards the portal to the Zane Dungeon with an aggressive air.

"Are these two idiots?" the restaurant owner asked, looking completely bewildered.

However, considering that they were adventurers, this behavior didn't seem so strange.

Not long ago, news that the Zane Dungeon, originally located in the Arnor Kingdom, had suddenly appeared in the Warrior Country spread rapidly throughout the country.

In the days leading up to the news, the people of Black Rock City, including Lan Le and Te Pi, didn't seem to have any major reaction; it was just that there were more people gathering around the portal every day.

But later Te Pi learned that the quiet of the past few days was because people were all heading towards Black Rock City!

After his match with Ge Ha De ended, more and more people flocked to Black Rock City. By the time he announced today that he was lifting control of the Zane Dungeon portal, the number of people gathered in the city for Zane Dungeon had reached an astonishing number!

"Wow, so many people!" The boy exclaimed, looking at the sea of people crowding around the teleportation portal. "There are even more people than I saw in the Red Fang Dungeon!"

His name is Sai Ke, an ordinary Bronze Rank adventurer who is currently working hard to advance to Silver Rank.

Despite his young age, he has been an adventurer for several years and participated in the Meteor Shower event organized by multiple dungeons. He also became one of the thousands of Red Spirit who invaded the Zane Dungeon, fighting to the death with veteran Sien adventurers.

By chance, he acquired a Greatsword with the Weapon Skill [Lion Slash], as well as [Battle Ash: Vacuum Slash].

[War Ash: Vacuum Slash]

[A lost Weapon Skill of ancient heroes: raise the sword to create a vacuum, then transform it into a vacuum blade and release it forward.]

Due to his own limitations, he couldn't sustain the ability to unleash these two types of battle ash multiple times. He usually used Lion Slash and Vacuum Slash as his Ultimate Skill.

However, thanks to these two Weapon Skills, he jumped from an ordinary Bronze Rank to one of the best in his class. He could even solve missions that he couldn't beat before, and he was qualified to knock on the door of Silver Rank.

From then on, he became a die-hard fan of the Zane Dungeon Weapon Skill, maintaining a high level of Furious Rajang even though he had never explored even a single area of Sion.

His current life dream is to save enough money to go to the Arnor Kingdom and pursue his dream of the Zane Dungeon.

"There are also people who are clearly not adventurers joining in the fun." The girl surveyed the crowd with a blank and somewhat indifferent expression, her valuable magic wand gleaming in her hand.

The girl's Qiao Ke La. She is an ordinary Bronze Rank adventurer and also a rich second-generation heiress. She goes on adventures purely out of interest.

She also participated in the Meteor Shower event, similarly transforming into Red Spirit to invade the adventurers in the Zane Dungeon. It was during that time that she obtained the magic [Swirling Magic Pebble] from the Zane Dungeon.

[Swirling Magic Pebble]

The Glintstone Magic taught at the Magic Academy of Raya Lucaria

[The ability to unleash two swirling jets of stone is a magic taught in the Kalos Classroom, the oldest classroom in the academy.]

This magic was a failed attempt to create a new comet.

She had lost interest in the Swirling Magic Pebble after seeing the words "failed product" in the description. However, during a challenge against a giant python, she accidentally fired a Spinning Swirling Magic Pebble, which spun in a straight line and shredded the giant python into mincemeat!

She was deeply shocked.

Since then Qiao Ke La has been collecting various magic pages from Sion. Unfortunately, magic pages are rare, and even fewer are available on the market. There are also people richer than her who are collecting them, so so far she has only managed to get her hands on another [Glintstone Swift Pebble].

But that didn't stop her from becoming a die-hard fan of the magic in the Zane Dungeon.

Her current life dream is to break free from her family's constraints and go to Raya Lucaria, a place she has always longed to visit. To this end, she no longer wants her family's money and relies entirely on the rewards she earns from her adventures for food, clothing, and shelter.

Then, by chance, Sai Ke and Qiao Ke La formed a team.

The two had been getting along very well until recently, when a portal to the Zane Dungeon suddenly appeared in the Warrior Country. They discussed Sion, and then...

"What? You think Sion's Weapon Skill /magic are the strongest!?" x2

"Bullshit!" x2

Thus, the current situation has evolved, with the two preparing to venture into the Zane Dungeon to find proof that Weapon Skill /magic are the strongest.

Considering their ages, this is probably just kids sulking.

"Well then, welcome everyone to the Zane Dungeon. Before it officially opens, there are a few things I need to explain to you."

The guards hired by Te Pi to maintain order stood on the high platform and explained some rules to the adventurers. Everyone quieted down and listened carefully.

"The exploration of the new area of Zane Dungeon is currently in its early stages. I'm sure you'll all make some discoveries within the dungeon. To encourage your exploration, our Lord Basque has allocated a special fund to reward those who make new discoveries. If you do make any discoveries, please be sure to come and collect your reward!"

"Of course, there are conditions for receiving the prize money. Your discovery must be published in the announcement. Those who can accept the conditions, please come and make a fortune! Lord Basque will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

"In addition, considering that a considerable number of people have not been exposed to the Zane Dungeon before, we need to remind you that this is a unique dungeon. If you look at it with conventional eyes, you will suffer a great loss. Therefore, we have prepared a booklet summarizing some precautions for exploring the Zane Dungeon, which you can get for free."

"Oh, by the way, if you pay an extra silver coin, you can also get an upgraded booklet, which contains absolutely top-quality content that summarizes all the strategies from the Skyrim Strategy Team."

In short, it's a condensed version of the Skyrim Strategy Team, and an unauthorized pirated version at that. If Lu Lu Wo were here, she'd probably be ready to kill someone.

"Did you hear that? It's the Skyrim Strategy Team!" Sai Ke felt a strong urge to buy it.

"We have to queue to buy the booklet and we also have to queue to enter the dungeon. Are you sure we can still enter the dungeon this morning after we buy it?"

Qiao Ke La calmly assessed the situation, grabbed Sai Ke's wrist, and pulled him through the crowd vying to buy the booklets, leading him to the portal.

This is a short adventure undertaken by two ordinary adventurers in an attempt to prove which magic or Weapon Skill is the strongest.
