The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 218 [Sun Armor]

This radiant golden armor is a divine artifact forged using the primordial divine power and divinity of the Sun Prince.

To forge this artifact, Elion spent at least 12 hours a day in this ritual chamber for the past six months since the Abyss invasion, rarely venturing out to confront the demon army and only making a few moves.

Fortunately, Eldoron also has mid-level legendary bone dragons skilled in fighting large armies, three human legendary spellcasters, soldiers who have undergone years of special anti-demon training, and a golem legion that can restrain demons, which is enough to defend this not-so-vast territory.

Selling Cold Iron weapons to the Elven Court brought Eldoron a profit of over 400 million gold coins.

Elion converted most of these profits into legendary-grade extraordinary materials, which he then used to forge this divine armor.

Faced with a crisis, the Elven Royal Court was forced to sell its treasured legendary materials at a lower price than before. This allowed Elion to purchase materials worth over 600 million gold coins.

Now, after more than half a year of effort and consuming enough legendary materials to buy an entire country, the [Sun Armor] has finally been forged!
Elion beckoned to the illusory armor in the air, and the energy armor collapsed into a brilliant golden gem, which flew into Elion's hand.

Information about this artifact flashed through Elian's mind at lightning speed.

【Sun Armor】(Secondary Artifact)

The power of this artifact is roughly the same as the extraordinary divine power displayed by the Sun Prince's battle avatar, and it has roughly the following four functions:
First, there's the "victory halo," which strengthens the army and boosts morale. It's a concrete manifestation of the "war" domain.

Secondly, create a concentrated miniature sun, generating a large-scale radiant explosion of the [Holy Blazing Sun].

This is somewhat similar to the spell [Sunburst], but far more powerful, equivalent to a high-level legendary ultimate attack. Furthermore, it is extremely effective against mud goblins, undead, and demons.

Both of the above features can only be used once a day.

Although used less frequently, its power is no less than the original version used by the Sun Prince in his incarnation.

Thirdly, it allows the wearer to cast divine spells like a nine-ringed priest, including the priest's general divine spells, as well as divine spells in the fields of [War] and [Sun].

Fourthly, as armor, it provides considerable defensive power, with high resistance to fire and light damage. It can even withstand a full-force attack from a weakened divine god at the cost of its own shattering.

As for the [Summoning of the Celestial Legion] that Prince Sunlight previously demonstrated, it was a supernatural power resulting from the fusion of the [Sun Elf] and [War] divine powers, and it was not copied over.

The artifact's abilities are definitely fewer than those of the original divine incarnation, so a choice must be made.

Therefore, during the forging process, Elian deliberately abandoned this overly conspicuous characteristic to avoid any unnecessary associations with the Elven Royal Court.

As for the abilities [Victory Aura] and [Divine Blaze], Elion also adjusted their visual effects to ensure that they look significantly different from the original Sun Prince's extraordinary divine power.

Furthermore, this armor is formed from pure energy, so it won't interfere with arcane spellcasting like physical armor. Mages can wear it normally.

In short, this is definitely the most powerful magical item in Eldoron at present.

Moreover, as a lesser artifact, it is a whole level more powerful than a typical legendary magical item!
Elian carefully put away the glittering golden gem, and with a flick of his sleeve:
"Latour, let's go."

"Go and provide support to the Moon Elf's royal city!"

……

The Elven Royal Court, the main city of the "Whispers of the Moon" family, the royal capital of the Moon Elves, is called Silvermoon City.

This once beautiful city is now shrouded in the shadow of despair.

The silver city wall, seemingly formed from pure moonlight, was riddled with pits and covered with black marks from being scorched by fire.

Beneath the city walls, the corpses of elven warriors lay scattered about, emitting a pungent stench.

The entire city was bathed in the bright, silvery moonlight.

Outside the moonlight barrier, a dark, menacing horde of demons lurked menacingly.

—The Great Enchanted Lock of Silvermoon City. A creation woven from high-level elven magic, the Enchanted Lock, a signature feature of the Elven Royal Court, is a powerful regional magical barrier used to protect the Elven Royal Court's cities or sacred sites.

The [Maze Lock] has many functions.

For example, it can regulate the climate of a certain area, allow creatures that utter commands to fly in the air or teleport within a city, provide medical treatment to residents, restrict the spells of a specific school of magic within an area, and prevent foreign enemies from teleporting in...

In terms of civilian functionality, the Elven Royal Court's [Maze Lock] is no less advanced than Eldoron's elemental binding technology; rather, each has its own merits.

However, the residents of Silvermoon City also knew that, faced with the massive Abyss Legion, even the Royal Court's Enchanted Barrier could only temporarily delay the enemy's advance.

On previous occasions, when the demon army attacked the city, the [Silvermoon City Great Lock] exceeded its capacity limit and temporarily failed.

"Have you heard? Just a few days ago, the Sun Elf capital, Sun City, fell."

"What? How is that possible!"

"It is said that after conquering Sun City, the demon army massacred the entire city and held a large-scale blood sacrifice."

"The Sun Elf capital has already fallen. Will we be next?"

"..."

An atmosphere of despair permeated the city.

Doron, an elf student who had just graduated from the Moonsong City Magic School two years ago and returned to his hometown, stood atop the city wall, listening to the pessimistic words of those around him, gazing at the dark, imposing army of demons before him, and let out a long sigh:

"Hey……"

Now, Doron is one of the countless elven mages guarding Silvermoon City. His daily work is to repair and maintain the already riddled-with-holes [Silvermoon City Great Lock].

Sometimes, he couldn't help but reminisce about his wonderful school days, the days of haggling with the magic shop owner, and the joy of buying that cheap robe for a few gold coins for the first time.

Day after day, fighting off the endless attacks of demons and watching his comrades-in-arms return to Avanto, Toron became somewhat numb to the situation.

When will these days ever end...?

Perhaps tomorrow, I too will be lucky enough to return to Avanto, just like Thorin...

I can only hope that the demon that kills me isn't one of those species with the ability to devour or imprison souls...

As Doron was bewildered, the young elf who had just graduated was unaware that a human had already arrived at the distant military camp.

……

Inside the Silvermoon City military camp.

"Your Majesty, King of Mankind, Sovereign of the Eastern Kingdom, and Your Majesty the Great Elion, this is the detailed intelligence on the several demon legions currently besieging Silvermoon City."

An elven servant respectfully handed Elian a large stack of documents.

As Elian flipped through the intelligence in his hand, he frowned slightly.

"It seems the situation is not optimistic."

"Even the most powerful maze in the Elven Royal Court, the Silvermoon City Great Maze, was overwhelmed by the countless demon legions..."

Previously, when Eldoron's high-level forces launched a full-scale attack on the Sun Elf's palace, they temporarily broke through the defenses of the [Maze Lock] barrier.

However, that was just a small-scale, ordinary [Maze Lock], far inferior in strength and effect to the [Silvermoon City Great Maze Lock].
