Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

1/4

Beastmen might drink [Healing Potions] like water.

It's also possible that they couldn't recognize those rare spell scrolls and exquisite artifacts, treating them as useless trinkets and dismissing them.

However, "weapons" are different.

For those who are keen on fighting, with battle running in their veins, weapons might be more important than their wives. They might not cuddle with their wives every night, but they will definitely embrace their favorite weapons daily.

In fact, each beastman tribe has ancestral weapons passed down from their ancestors, which have been honed and battled countless times. These are regarded as the lifeblood and family heirlooms of each respective tribe. Some tribes even select their next chief based on the recognition of the weapons.

This shows the status of weapon culture in the beastmen's heritage.

Unfortunately, since their defeat 500 years ago, when they were thrown into the Stillwater Prison, the ancestral weapons of each tribe were naturally confiscated.

Later, in order to completely cut off their thoughts and crush the prisoners' spirits, the Grand Sage Judges of the Court of Judgment, in front of the beastmen, threw those extremely meaningful ancestral weapons, one by one, into the infernal furnace and destroyed them all.

This method proved very successful.

It was no different from breaking the beastmen's backbone.

Since then, the beastmen have completely lost their momentum and fallen into depression. Even though many generations have passed and the lingering shadows of that year have gradually faded away, the lost heritage can never be regained once it's gone.

Now, apart from being suppressed and restrained by the black rings on their necks, the lack of weapons is also a key factor in the beastmen's weakness.

After all, with the human society they can currently access, the forged weapons can't even compare to those ancestral weapons of the tribe level, let alone find a handy one.

Beastmen put all their talent points into strength, so their requirements for weapons are also particularly high. The axes, rusty swords, iron hammers, etc. in the hands of the Animal Gang members may not last long before they are damaged beyond recognition and need to be replaced.

Even the second and third in command of the Animal Gang, the dog-faced man and the crocodile-headed man, are currently using some junk.

There's no choice. The stronger the beastmen, the less ordinary weapons can withstand their usage. So in the end, if there are no suitable weapons, it's better to directly use their own fists, just like their boss Kitsune.

But now...

Gulp!

Many beastmen of the Animal Gang involuntarily made a sound of swallowing saliva.

Their fiery gazes all unanimously focused on that incredibly gorgeous golden chest, or more precisely, through the cracks of the chest, on the weapon lying inside.

Several of them couldn't wait to secretly stretch their necks, trying their best to steal a glance inside, wanting to know what exactly it was.

They looked like a group of hungry single men who were fortunate enough to run into a beauty coming out of the bath, scrambling to catch a glimpse of her beauty.

Kitsune, as the boss, had the strongest willpower. She heavily coughed twice, then glared fiercely at her group of spineless underlings with her eyes, indicating them to restrain their appearance.

Although they were poor, they couldn't lose their backbone! They couldn't be looked down upon by others!

Back then, Kitsune had already said that for this dungeon exploration, they wouldn't ask for even half of the treasures obtained, and everything would belong to that human. They were only doing it for the sake of doing good and accumulating virtue, just for the sake of doing good!

However, although the weapon in the chest was to be returned to Reji, it should still be fine for them to open it and take a look.

In fact, Kitsune herself was also feeling a bit itchy inside. If they couldn't eat the pork, at least they could see the pig running and relieve their cravings.

Just, just take a peek!

Hmm!

With this mindset, the white-haired woman quickly came to the front of the chest. As a result, before she even used any force, the chest seemed to sense her presence, and the lid actually lifted up on its own. At the same time, the glow inside the chest grew brighter, startling Kitsune.

By the time the beastmen came back to their senses, they saw a weapon, shimmering with flowing light, floating and hovering above the chest.

Now all the beastmens could see it.

It was a weapon similar to an "axe-staff." It had a long handle like a scepter, but at the tip, it resembled an axe head with a sharp blade.

Arcane runes, filled with magical aura, surrounded the tip of the axe, symbolizing its uniqueness. It was a very rare enchanted weapon, and each strike of the axe could gain arcane amplification, greatly enhancing its attack power.

On the handle of the scepter, carvings of pyramid emblems, seemingly related to a desert theme, were engraved. Just by holding the scepter, it felt as if one was standing atop a golden pyramid in the yellow sands, with a dominating power bestowed upon them.

Gulp!!

If earlier, when this absolutely epic-level axe-staff weapon was still half-hidden in the chest, the beastmens were only swallowing saliva...

Now, when the true form of the axe was revealed, not only was it an enchanted weapon, but it was also clearly crafted from extremely high-grade metal. Its simple and unadorned heaviness made the beastmen drool uncontrollably, unable to stop their saliva from flowing.

Especially for the second-in-command, the dog-faced man.

For some reason...

The moment he laid eyes on this axe, he felt a certain kind of soul resonance in the depths of his being, as if it was tailor-made for him.

If it weren't for Kitsune's presence, restraining them, doggy would have already pounced forward and hugged this axe refusing to let go even if it meant death.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Kitsune also came back to her senses from her amazement. She still had a stronger willpower.

Although she was reluctant to part with it, although she was facing the deep, longing gazes of her Animal Gang underlings, her own tribesmen, especially Doggy's, Kitsune had to keep her word and hand this axe-staff over to Reji.

After all, Kitsune hadn't forgotten what her mother said: Beastmen stand tall and upright, once a word is given, even four horses can't chase it back!

However...

"Miss Kitsune, this weapon is of no use to me now. I think it's better to directly give it to the heroes of the Animal Gang to use."

"After all, Miss Kitsune, you've also seen that as we delve deeper into the dungeon, the strength of the monsters here seems to be getting stronger and stronger. In this case, having one more useful weapon also ensures the safety of all of us and increases our chances of successfully clearing the dungeon, doesn't it?"

As soon as Reji said these words, before Kitsune could say anything, the second-in-command of the Animal Gang, Doggy, immediately echoed Reji for the first time, "Yes, yes, yes, Boss! I think this human, cough, this teacher is right!"
