What entered Bella and Mathias\' sight the moment they entered the fifth floor was a whole floor filled with runic armaments!

Not only were there numerous weapon stands exhibiting powerful weapons, but even the armors they saw released a terrifying pressure.

The presence of every single piece of runic armament was clearly perceptible. When Nial sensed this, he couldn\'t help but smile oddly.

It was truly unexpected to encounter so many runic armaments. This was even more so the case because the three could clearly sense that amongst the sea of runic armaments there were a handful of them powerful enough to momentarily suppress their movements.

Only after several seconds passed was Nial able to move.

"Why didn\'t my Mana sense perceive all of these runic armaments?" 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 some runic armaments in the entire tower.

However, what he hadn\'t been able to perceive were the Tier-1 runic armaments 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 equipment.

There were, at least, 100 Tier-0 runic armaments in the entire room that resembled more of a treasure vault than anything else.

Tier-0 runic armaments may not be comparable to Tier-1 armaments, but each of them was still several times more powerful than the few items Nial and his friends possessed.

Even the Viper spear was much worse than stronger Tier-0 runic armaments.

Swallowing nervously, Nial\'s eyes shone in delight as his desire to inspect every single piece of runic armament in the room increased manifold.

Mathias and Bella were itching to get their hands on the numerous armaments just like him. That was also why Mathias took his first step ahead, his impatience pushing him forward.

"Stop!" Bella suddenly shouted in an alarmed voice, causing Mathias to freeze. This was exactly what she wanted to happen before she calmly added,

"We don\'t know if the runic armaments 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 armaments 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 armament each and began testing it out.

"The mana consumption is so low!" Mathias exclaimed 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 elemental attacks were extremely low.

His control over the earthen projectiles around him had increased as well.

\'Just by conjuring my Elemental 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 centimeters long black wand in Mathias\' hand was an extremely powerful runic armament.

Made from a plank of rare, mana-afine wood, and numerous 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 something 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 same 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 same effect as a Tier-1 wand, which could be used by an Origin rank Original, turning it into a phenomenal achievement.

But this clearly showed just how terrifying the existence of runic armaments was, and also how weak mankind\'s technology development was.

Nial could only shake his head while smiling bitterly as well.

His heart had already been prepared to receive a shock because the memories of the late Darkness God had already warned him in advance.

There were far more shocking things the memories had shown him than the might of Tier-1 runic armaments.

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 name engraved on the spear was Dragonflame, which was quite suitable.

By inserting some mana into the Dragonflame 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 flame 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 Dragonflame spear is several times sharper than the Viper spear in its unenhanced form…If I add the superior runic constellations inscribed on the Dragonflame spear to it, the heat its blade can create and the flames 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 armaments 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 Dragonflame spear around him. It was roughly 2.2 meters long, with a broad 30-centimeter-long blade at the tip.

Nial may not be able to see the colors of the Dragonflame 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 metal rings that were evenly spaced along the length of the staff.

Reaching for them, he touched it and immediately sensed that his ability to control the mana inside the Dragonflame spear increased quite a bit. In fact, he felt that a faint connection was built between him and the Dragonflame spear.

This made it seem as if the Dragonflame spear became 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 armament had been crafted by a Master Blacksmith and Runicier!

\'Even Intermediate Blacksmiths and Runiciers are able to create Tier-1 runic armaments…so why would these few Tier-1 runic armaments be here?! They\'re worth a fortune!\'

Turning his attention over to Bella, who had put on a metal 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 same time, 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 means significantly.

Her enhancements 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 armaments, the drastic enhancement one would receive was best left to the imagination

Nial could only smile drily as he stored the Dragonflame spear away. He tested out several more armaments 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 some 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 armaments??

The value of the Tier-1 runic armaments was tremendous, to put it simply, while the accumulated fortune they were bound to receive from the Tier-0 runic armaments ought to be similar.

Even if they were to sell only a third of their gains from one tower, Nial, Bella, and Mathias would become influential, and wealthy to the extent that they might have trouble thinking of ways to use up the fortune in a lifetime!

This was somewhat scary when one thought about it.

In a mere week, they became filthy rich, and they would be able to advance mankind\'s technological stance to an unprecedented level.

But at the same time, 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 anytime 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!
