Chapter 433: The Beginning Of The War (Part 1)

Meanwhile, Amalia did not go to find Kenny Lin.

Instead, she returned to her room and picked up the last spiritual artifact she had just completed.

This spiritual artifact was different from the previous ones in terms of its properties.

Instead of triangular inscriptions, it had a few grooves.

Inside the grooves were several bright crystal cores.

This was the second form of spiritual artifacts and the second phase of artifact refining, commonly known as evolution.

During her retreat over the past few days, Amalia attempted it several times and succeeded only this time.

Although it was just a beginner level spiritual artifact, due to the different refining methods and materials used, she could tell that the power of this beginner level crystal core on the spiritual artifact was likely on par with that of an intermediate level amulet spiritual artifact.

The physical form of the crystal core spiritual artifact was still a knife.

Amalia preferred knives and daggers to swords.

However, daggers were too short and better suited for surprise attacks, making them less appropriate for large-scale battlefields, especially in aerial combat.

Once she finished collecting data on the crystal core spiritual artifact, she temporarily put it away and retrieved a book from her Soltice ring.

The book’s cover bore the ancient title "Eight God Blade."

The Eight God Blade techniques were fewer in number than the 108 styles of the Emerald Dragon Spiritual Sword, but each style of the Eight God Blade was more difficult to learn.

Amalia had not originally planned to study blade techniques because of her habits in her past life.

She preferred one-shot and lethal surprise attacks over open, direct confrontations.

However, on the battlefield or when facing many opponents, one would not have the luxury of one-on-one fights or opportunities for sneak attacks.

Therefore, it became necessary to learn a set of blade techniques.

As she was thinking, a long horn sounded outside.

It was the sound of the beginning of the war.

Amalia immediately put away the blade techniques.

Kenny Lin happened to push open the door and enter.

Before he could ask, there was a loud noise from outside.

"Has it started?" Amalia quickly asked.

Kenny Lin nodded without any sign of tension, "How did your retreat go?"

Seeing his lack of reaction, Amalia tossed the spiritual artifact she was holding to him.

Kenny Lin caught the spiritual artifact and examined it, exclaiming in surprise.

"This spiritual artifact is different from ordinary spiritual artifacts?"

"To be precise, it’s a crystal core spiritual artifact. During the refining process, I not only incorporated some attribute crystal cores into the materials but also changed the inscriptions function. Now, the amplification relies on the energy of the crystal cores."

Crystal cores were cultivated by mutated creatures and contained as much energy as amulets, especially advanced level crystal cores, which could not be compared to advanced level amulets.

Kenny Lin quickly realized that the emergence of crystal core spiritual artifacts would not only impact artificers but also have a major effect on amulet masters.

What he could think of, Amalia had already thought about.

"Although we’re no longer using amulets, their usefulness will not decrease at all."

"Oh?" From what Kenny Lin knew, the popularity of amulets depended on the existence of inscription-type artifacts.

Amalia smiled slightly, "Have you forgotten? My father also enjoys studying auxiliary items and amulets, such as the Immobilization amulet, which is actually one of them."

Previously, Amalia had mentioned that the current system of amulets was relatively uniform.

Moreover, the variety of amulets was incomplete.

This might be due to the influence of the amulet files and artifacts, causing the system of amulets to gradually lean towards these artifacts.

This formed a dependency system, whereas the amulet system Amalia understood from the Solstice ring was varied.

Outside, the deafening roars of mutated creatures were everywhere.

The two of them walked out of the room, and the surroundings were already illuminated, making the entire city appear as bright as day.

Amalia looked up to see the night sky filled with a myriad of differently shaped mutated creatures.

Various spiritual energies and mutated creatures’s attacks intertwined.

With prior preparation, humans and mutated creatures’ initial clash did not catch them off guard.

The defense and attacks were orderly, while on the side of the mutated creatures, bodies frequently fell from the sky like a sudden downpour.

If it were daytime, the scene would have been quite spectacular.

This sight shocked the high-level mutated creatures at the back of the army.

At this moment, they realized that this surprise attack had not thrown humans into chaos, nor resulted in heavy casualties.

Instead, it was their side that suffered, as swarms of mutated creatures such as Red Noctust and Green Morphaloth fell from the sky.

This scene prompted some high-level mutated creatures to no longer wait and burst forward from the rear.

However, the human experts were well-prepared.

Seeing a high-level mutated creature charging forward, one of the Tier 1 experts immediately met it head-on—it was Hans Manuel.

Hans Manuel was incredibly powerful.

Although he only possessed cultivation level Tier 1 beginner stage, the high-level mutated creature opposite him was only a level 13 mutated creature.

Wielding a lightning hammer spiritual artifact, Hans Manuel turned into a long streak of light and charged at the high-level mutated creature.

The strike of the lightning hammer resonated, stunning the nearby mutated creatures that could not escape and were then shot by humans on the city wall.

As Amalia stepped onto the city wall, he saw several high-level mutated creatures already unable to restrain themselves.

The high-level mutated creature battling with Hans Manuel was the Yellow Owlfire.

Seeing many of its subordinates fall at once, the Yellow Owlfire could not hold back any longer and was the first to rush forward.

The Yellow Owlfire’s most formidable asset was its razor-sharp, hook-like beak, but they had already anticipated which high-level creatures would emerge, so Hans Manuel, who was chosen to face it, was specifically selected for this battle.
