Chapter 617: Last Ancestral Place

This mysterious altar was about six meters tall, it was in the shape of an octagon, and there was a total of eight levels. It was made from a type of unknown black stone, and it felt heavy just by looking at it. The blue portal at the top level of the altar lit up the entire structure, making it look like a lighthouse of hell.

On the surface of the bottom seven levels, there were thick, finger-wide magic engravings. They looked ancient yet fundamental, and the smooth lines formed many magic pathings that were filled with an ancient magic energy sensation. However, Fei, who wasn’t a magic connoisseur, didn’t understand the magic arrays.

Nevertheless, he knew that the style of magic was from the Mythical Era, which was quite different from the current day magic.

On the side of the eighth level, Fei discovered a line of writing.

“In the name of the great Dwarf God, Fiat, open the gate to the last ancestral place……”

These were written in the ancient language used in the Mythical Era, and the modern language used on the Azeroth Continent was based on it. What was surprising was that the language in Diablo World was strikingly similar to this ancient language. Fei studied this language from Cain and Akara a little, so he was able to make out the meaning of this sentence after a while.

“Dwarf God Fiat?” Fei heard stories about the legendary heroes and gods in the Mythical Era from traveling poets, and Dwarf God Fiat was one of the protagonists in those stories.

It was heard that this dwarf god was one of the terrifying heroes on the side of the demons, and he was the primordial god to all the branches and clans of dwarfs. He controlled one of the ten major god-tier combat weapons, [Ax of Earth], and he killed many powerful masters on the side of the gods. He was well-known and invincible.

However, for some reason, this powerful god still fell.

Now, a lot of people believed that the dwarfs disappeared from the continent because their god suddenly died. The dwarfs were half as tall as a human, lived in underground caves, had long hair and beard, and were all great blacksmiths. Without the protection of their god, they lost their honors and went extinct.

Even though they disappeared, they once formed gigantic empires and had great civilizations. Until now, the marks they left on this continent were still affecting how people lived. For example, they were the ones who created combat weapons.

A famous traveling poet had once said that all the famous god-tier items, god-tier combat weapons, and semi-god-tier combat weapons were all created by the dwarfs from the Mythical Era, and all the skills the blacksmiths on the continent nowadays used were all the inheritance from the dwarfs.

This just went to show how powerful the dwarfs were back in the days.

Fei didn’t expect that this altar below the mountain of white bones was the creation of the dwarfs.

From the look of it, it seemed like this altar was crucial to the dwarfs, and it led to the so-called last ancestral place.

Fei looked back at the blue portal on the top of the altar.

After thinking for a bit, he summoned [The Throne of Chaos], sat on it, and entered the portal with a determined expression on his face.

[The Throne of Chaos] could break all the restrictions, and it could protect Fei so that he wouldn’t get lost in the spatial and temporal portal. Even if there were dangers, Fei could escape.

With several other trump cards on him, Fei decided to explore this mysterious place.

After all, this was under the back mountain of Chambord. Fei had to make sure that this portal wasn’t connected to a dangerous and deadly place. Otherwise, Chambord would be sitting on a volcano that could erupt at any moment, and Fei would have to move the city away.

……

After a series of buzzing noises and blurry visions, Fei appeared in another place.

The wind was lightly blowing, and the bright sun could be seen in the sky; he was no longer in an underground cave.

The danger he was anticipating didn’t appear. There were no warrior energy or magic energy surges around him, and there was no cranking metal gear that activated traps.

It just looked like an ordinary deserted and isolated place.

However, when Fei looked up, his expression got interesting.

White bones! Seas of white bones!

All that Fei could see were white bones!

Fei was standing on an octangular altar that was identical to the one under the back mountain of Chambord, and behind him was the blue portal.

Fei had no idea how long these white bones had been here. The soil already buried a lot of them, and new grasses grew on top of them.

“This…… Is this the last ancestral place of the dwarfs? It just looks like a ton of corpses were thrown here.” Fei was confused.

“Could it be that the dwarfs have fallen, and their last ancestral place turned from a fancy palace to this as time passed? But where did these skeletons and bones come from? Could it be that all the dwarfs on the continent came here and died off?”

Fei spread out his spirit energy and didn’t sense any danger, so he slowly walked off the altar.

He started his detailed investigate.

Soon, he made discoveries.

This should be a valley that was entirely in isolation. To be exact, all four sides of this place were huge mountains, blocking people out. The mountains were also all tilting inward drastically, and it looked like they were about to collapse at any time. They blocked most of the sunlight that would otherwise enter this isolated valley that covered an area of a dozen square kilometers. The opening on the top was a circle that had a diameter of about 600 meters.

As Fei walked around, all he could see were white bones.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that most of the bones were thick. The joints were the same size as humans’, but most of the bones were half the length. It was clear that these were the bones and skeletons of the dwarfs.

However, there were the bones and skeletons of other unknown creatures.

Some of the bones were so thin that it was shocking, and some were so big that it was unbelievable. There were also the skeletons of creatures that had wings and giants that were more than ten meters tall……

Fei felt like the dwarfs and these creatures were enemies.

As Fei wandered around, he saw too many skeletons that were mingled together since they were battling when they were alive. Most of them had armors on, and their weapons punctured their enemies’ bodies while their enemies’ weapons pierced through theirs. Also, some skeletons had more than a dozen spears stuck to them, displaying how terrifying the battle was.

Although it looked like this battle happened a long time ago, Fei could still sense the bloodiness and the cruelness of it.

Most of the skeletons were broken into pieces while a small number of them were complete.

The complete ones had the whitest bones, and there were still faint warrior energy and magic energy surges on them. These skeletons were all insanely powerful when they were alive, so bits of their auras were still around years later.

Fei randomly picked up a lightly-rusty blade, and he knocked it with his knuckle.

Tink!

As the crisp sound resonated in the area, the rust fell off, and the body of the blade turned shiny and bright.

“This…… the weapon of the dwarves….. It is a combat weapon?!” Fei was shocked. He didn’t expect that a random weapon he picked up was a combat weapon. After the rust fell off quickly, it felt like this blade was newly forged; time didn’t leave a mark on it.

Fei lightly slashed his finger, and blood dripped down.

Fei’s barbarian character had an insane body! Even Sun-Class Lords’ bodies couldn’t be compared to his. Ordinary weapons couldn’t even leave a white mark on his skin, but this blade created a wound on his finger easily!

“Such a sharp weapon! This must be a level 5 combat weapon at least! It is a treasure in the outside world! It must be a masterpiece of the dwarves! It could increase the combat ability of an ordinary warrior by five times!”

Fei instantly realized the value of this weapon. Then, as if he was shocked by lightning, he screamed out in excitement.
