Heart of Obsidian

Boom!

Looking at the system prompt, Jiang Han's mind went blank, as if it had been bombed by a nuclear explosion, momentarily unable to turn the corner.

Divine-level equipment?!

It's truly divine-level equipment, not just the "growable" Earth or Sky-level equipment?

What's going on with this game? Getting divine-level equipment so early, isn't it a bit too soon?

Truly speechless, I, Jiang, can barely continue watching!

"Hold on tight!" Sasha reminded aloud.

"Huh?"

Jiang Han didn't understand.

"Swoosh!"

In the next instant, Jiang Han felt an extremely majestic and domineering force surging into his hands through the hilt. However, at the same time, the weight of the weapon multiplied countless times. Unable to hold it firmly, the blade turned over, easily piercing the ground like cutting tofu, the entire blade immersed and difficult to pull out.

Jiang Han: "..."

So heavy!

"The Obsidian Crystal is a top-grade among divine-level ores, but it has a so-called flaw." Sasha explained, "It makes the blade extremely heavy, difficult for ordinary people to wield."

"I see."

Jiang Han nodded, knowing he wasn't lying because the introduction of the Obsidian Crystal did contain relevant information.

Holding his breath, he gripped the hilt with both hands and pulled it out from the ground. His arms trembled, veins bulging, attempting to hold it with one hand was a struggle.

Helplessly, Jiang Han could only store it in the storage ring. Fortunately, his storage ring was a spiritual-grade, providing up to a hundred slots. If given to other players, this sword probably couldn't be taken away.

With anticipation, Jiang Han nervously checked the weapon's attributes.

The system said it's divine-level equipment, a divine artifact should not be weak—

Introduction: A divine weapon forged from countless rare ore materials. It will shake the world, drink the blood of the strong, whether it ends in glory or obscurity, remains unknown...

...

Damn!

Jiang Han was utterly amazed.

Indeed, a divine artifact is a divine artifact, with numerous additional effects and skills. Moreover, the base values are outrageously high, considering Jiang Han's overall strength, including skills, free attribute points, level 88 basic attack growth star level, ring equipment, and other bonuses, none of them surpass this sword.

Besides, although the required level is 80, and it doesn't explicitly state "growable," Jiang Han found the answer in the special effect—

[Obsidian Heart](Passive)(SS-level): This weapon possesses spirituality and will grow with its owner, releasing a bit of its suppressed sharpness every 10 levels, until the owner's strength is sufficient to fully unleash its power, revealing its true form.

The only regret is the current attack speed is absurdly low.

-500%!

Can you even hit anyone with that?

As if understanding Jiang Han's thoughts, Sasha explained, "With your current strength, swinging this weapon is indeed too difficult, almost impossible to control like an arm."

"Is there a way to reduce the difficulty?" Jiang Han asked helplessly.

He wanted to get used to it quickly.

You can't just keep such a sky-high divine artifact for collection temporarily, right?

"There is, but..."

Sasha frowned slightly, somewhat hesitant. "That's a secret method of our Dwarf race, and only core members can enjoy it..."

Although he successfully became a divine-level blacksmith by forging divine weapons, the potion was still a unique secret of the Dwarf race, and Jiang Han has always been an outsider, not easy to give.

"You mean... the Great Strength Pill?" Jiang Han thoughtfully.

On the side, Bo Wen was astonished, "How did you know?"

"In... in historical records." Jiang Han was about to say "in the Devil's Treasure Vault," suddenly coming back to his senses.

He wanted to bring the Dwarves in, letting them know about the Great Strength Pill in the Devil's Treasure Vault might cause them to reject it.

Now that the arrow is on the string, he can't afford to make mistakes at critical moments.

"Records?"

Bo Wen suddenly realized, "I see."

"By the way, why do you always hide in the underground palace?" Not wanting to dwell too much on the Great Strength Pill, Jiang Han shifted the topic reasonably, entering the purpose of his visit, "Is it because you like it?"

Sasha: "..."

Bo Wen: "..."

Like?

You can say such words?

"You don't know this." Sasha shook his head, looking melancholic, "Our Dwarves hiding is also a last resort."

Jiang Han clasped his fists, "I would like to hear the details."

"But it's a long story..."

"You can talk as much as you want."

"..."

Unable to resist Jiang Han's persistence, Sasha sighed, "To put it simply, it's because of the ancestors..."

"You can also explain it in more detail."

"..."

Actually, he couldn't resist Jiang Han, so Sasha reluctantly smiled, "Simply put, it's because when the Light and Dark factions were at war, the Light faction won. Then, the Light faction's ambitions grew, and we Dwarves became laborers for refining, oppressed to the point of unbearable. But unfortunately, we couldn't fight against you humans, so we had to hide."

"The Elves also hid for the same reason." Bo Wen quickly added, fearing that the Dwarves would be looked down upon by Jiang Han, "The Elves, both handsome men and beautiful women, became toys for the nobles after the victory. Unable to endure, they hid in the Elven sanctuary for recuperation, and haven't emerged for thousands of years."

"Okay."

Jiang Han nodded.

"In that case, you should hate the Light faction very much, why not join the Dark faction?" Jiang Han continued to lead the conversation towards convincing them to join the Dark faction, resisting the rule of the Light faction, "I know you're from the Dark faction, and I understand that you came here to persuade us to join the Dark faction and resist the rule of the Light faction, but..."

"But what?" Jiang Han had a headache.

From the three-day time limit mentioned by Wei Qian Duo until now, it took half a day to find the Dwarves, two days to forge weapons, and now there's only half a day left. Bringing in more trouble, time is simply not enough.

The task rewards are indeed abundant, but it's too much of a pit!

"Our ancestors set up obstacles. If we can't defeat the remnants they left behind, we can't leave the underground palace." Sasha smiled bitterly, "We've had enough of the environment without sunlight, but

 the shadow is too strong, and its strength is at the divine level. I can't defeat it..."

In fact, relying on the forging of divine weapons, he successfully became a divine-level blacksmith, which is also one of the key reasons.

"Do you have to fight alone?" Jiang Han asked.

"That's right."

Sasha nodded, "But now that I have become a divine-level powerhouse, defeating the shadow is only a matter of time."

"This..."

Jiang Han was at a loss for words.

A matter of time?

But the problem is, time is not enough!

"Remote assistance won't work?" Jiang Han asked unwillingly.

Sasha thought for a moment and shook his head gently, "Without causing any harm to the shadow, that should be possible, but we Dwarves are all melee, and you seem to be too..."

"Wrong! Absolutely wrong!"

Jiang Han's eyes lit up, finding his breakthrough point, almost moved to tears, quickly interrupting, "I haven't told you the truth. Actually, I am a melee priest!"

Sasha: "???"
