After using his experimental Scepter of Darkness and Chaos, the Space Piranhas had been annihilated. That was much easier than expected. Finding the materials to recreate the Scepter was not exactly easy because the deposits of the ores and high-quality onyx were pretty small, but that was only the smallest problem.
Only the best blacksmiths could handle the ores and work with the high-quality Onyx without damaging or destroying it. That was also why Nial had only a few experimental newly created runic armaments. They were his best masterpieces and also the runic armaments that required most of his time and care. Filling their mana storage runic constellations took also quite a while because the transfer had to be slow and constant to make sure that nothing bad could happen.
Putting the loss of one broken runic armament aside, Nial found himself levitating in front of the armored serpentine beast. He was not exactly sure what it was, or what to do with it.
