Chapter 489: Volume 11: Misty Cage and Smoke Lock, - 1: Entering the Trap
Gently plucking the seven-string harp in his hand, a few enchanting notes immediately leapt into the air, like wind spirits gracefully dancing in the sky, instilling an urge to break free and soar. The air magic curtain surrounding the area slowly dispersed, and of course, outsiders were unable to detect this change in the elements of space magic, but Komer knew that his experiment using musical notes to control air magic had been a resounding success.
This magic curtain was in fact a combination of air magic and perception magic, controlled by two factors. One was tactile; should anyone enter its range, it would swiftly transform into the preset attack magic array. Whether it was a mage or a Martial Arts Expert wanting to forcefully enter, they would have to break the magic array first.
And to protect his most important workshop, Komer deliberately set up a mixed magic array of earth-based and Dark Corrosion magic.
Dark Corrosion magic was a challenge for any mage or Paladin, who could only break it if they were a Dark wizard or possessed exceptionally strong magic strength.
As for earth-based magic, Komer took advantage of the secret chamber set up beneath the room. On one hand, it could launch powerful earth-based attack magic; on the other, it allowed the invaded equipment and items in the room to retreat into the underground passage at their location in the shortest time possible, ensuring their protection.
On the workbench still lay the round cylindrical metal tube, barely taking shape. Just the processing of the metal tube had taken quite a bit of effort from Komer, who had mixed a large number of other magic power ores into the magic metal alloy dark iron tube which, in the dim light, faintly shimmered with sparks.
This was due to the addition of Fenn Stone to the forging of Usteel, known as the peak of fire-type magic ores, an extremely unstable fire magic power ore. It was supposed to be a non-metallic ore, yet it could be forged in special ways to imbue its magical properties onto metals, significantly enhancing the fire magic nature of the metal.
However, incorporating this ore into metal was a difficult task. To accomplish this, both the blacksmith and the mage needed not only a mastery of Fire Magic but also a deep understanding of the properties of both metal and this fire magic power ore.
