Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 59 Anything made by dwarves is guaranteed to be top-notch! Broken? Then it wasn't made by dwarves...

"Thump!"

"what!"

"Is this the kind of thing you're going to use to fight me?"

Alien Empera scoffed, raising his hand to shatter the energy guns held by Ken and Belial.

Then a new round of beatings began.

……

On an observation spaceship on the outskirts of the battlefield in the Land of Light.

A powerful Baltan alien, standing three meters tall, said, "The gun you forged was smashed; its quality is poor."

As he said this, a burly man, five meters tall, who was forging iron nearby, swung his hammer.

He said in a muffled voice, "Nonsense! That Alien Empera is so strong, isn't it normal for him to interrupt?"

He had fiery red hair that was completely frizzy, like a lion's mane, and a brown beard that covered his mouth and nose in a large circle.

Most notably, his left hand was engulfed in flames, and runes could be faintly seen on it.

This magical blacksmith comes from the planet Dwarfs and is a lava dwarf.

The dwarves of Dwarf Star originated from the giant dwarves, and later awakened the Lava Dwarves, Frost Dwarves, and Mountain Dwarves.

The giant dwarves are called "dwarves" simply because they are much smaller than the "giants" in the legends of the dwarf planet...

Giant dwarves are on average 7 to 8 meters tall, with a few reaching 10 meters. They are extremely powerful and naturally adapted to the cosmic environment.

Possessing the bloodlines of the Children of the Night and the Dwarfs, they can transform into 30-meter-tall blood giants. Although few in number, once they reach adulthood and undergo training, they can reach the peak of the surface level and are one of the core combat forces in the Shadow Empire's army.

Lava dwarves are a mutant species. Their left hands are naturally imbued with magical flames, and each of them is born with their own unique magical runes, making them exceptionally gifted in magic.

They are shorter than giant dwarves, with the tallest recorded height being 7 meters and an average height of around 5 meters. They also possess innate forging heritage memories, enabling them to forge eighth-tier artifacts!

Frost dwarves are a variant of lava dwarves. The flames on their left hands have been transformed into natural ice runes. They are entirely white, possess rune inheritance memories, and combine powerful close-combat abilities with magical talent.

Using rune magic naturally results in a more efficient enchanting skill.

Mountain dwarves are the most unique, being a direct mutation of giant dwarves, and are also the most common type of post-apocalyptic dwarves in fantasy worlds.

They are only half the height of humans, and they all enjoy brewing wine, as well as forging and using runes.

They say that good things come in small packages, and that’s certainly true for the mountain dwarves!

Their talent is the highest among the four types of dwarves, and there are already several planetary-level powerhouses among them, who are all generals in the army.

He was just waiting to make a name for himself so that he would be promoted to general.

The Baltan alien shook his head and said, "Even so, I haven't seen you create anything of value."

"You've just joined the Empire, so of course you don't know about our dwarven craftsmanship! We're preparing to forge a divine artifact, and you'll see when the time comes!"

Teton Lava was very unhappy about this, but he knew that he couldn't beat the Baltan alien in front of him.

This Baltan alien individual is named Holsodi.

He is a special individual among the Baltans, and currently the strongest Baltan who has truly joined the Shadow Empire.

He idolizes Norman and wants to become Norman's bodyguard, so he is not currently serving in the military; otherwise, he could be a general.

He followed Teton to protect him, but Holsodi didn't value Teton much, or rather, he didn't value any of the dwarves or goblins.

He felt that external things were not very useful; in the end, it all depended on one's own abilities.

Magic can be categorized as one's own power, and runes can be imprinted on one's body, but weapons, spaceships, armor, and the like are at most just auxiliary; they are simply not enough in the face of a true powerhouse!

"Another one interrupted," Holsodi said.

"A product made by dwarves is always of the highest quality. If it's broken, then it means it wasn't made by us dwarves," Teton said in a deep voice.

"Hmm...that makes sense. I saw the markings; it was made by goblins."

"That's normal."

Goblins are a species that emerged later on the planet Dwarfs.

They are actually closer to elves and dryads, possessing some mountain dwarf blood, and are distant relatives of the dwarves.

Note that goblins are not goblins!

Goblins are short in stature but extremely intelligent; in a sense, they are a variant of elves.

Although they have eccentric and irritable tempers, their inventiveness is undeniable; many high-tech products were developed after they joined the company.

It's just that the goblins are always careless, or rather, too aggressive.

They would put a product into practice before it was fully developed.

This led to many unexpected events...

Furthermore, since they did not have the bloodline of the Nightborne, the repeated explosions led to the deaths of many goblin scientists.

In the end, it was Norman who intervened, asking the goblins to be a little more careful about their lives, which finally made them reluctantly equip themselves with some life-saving runes...

However, goblins are actually better at business!

Most of the "Baltan merchants" who are out in the open are actually goblins in disguise.

They travel all over the universe, tirelessly making huge profits and contributing to the great empire in their hearts!

"What are you talking about?"

Just as the two were talking, the captain walked over.

The one in charge of piloting this exploration spaceship is an Emerald Treeman.

"Treemen, do you still call His Majesty...Evil King?" Holsodi asked.

After joining the Shadow Empire, Holsodi learned about the situation within the country and the various races.

There are no conflicts between the races. Under the leadership of the great Shadow Emperor, each race performs its duties and contributes to the Shadow Empire.

The rapid advancement caused various races, including the original citizens of the Black Kingdom who were officially named the "Night Clan," to continue using the old names for Norman.

This includes, but is not limited to, titles such as "Your Majesty," "King," "Heavenly Khan," "Heaven," "Father," and "Lord of the Oath."

The tree people and merfolk from the Star of Shadows still call Norman "King of Evil Hearts".

"Yes, it is an ancient title, meaning a god sent from heaven, a savior. 'Evil' is an auxiliary word."

"What a strange title. If you hadn't explained it, I would have thought His Majesty had done something wicked."

Holsodi raised his hand and tapped his chin as he spoke, "Well, it's not impossible. Before joining the Empire, we will continue to act in an 'evil' manner."

"The forces of darkness drive us, yet we have never waged wars without cause, nor have we invaded other civilizations or planets. It's strange."

"Your Majesty has your own ideas, and Your Majesty is never wrong," the tree man said.

"Alright, let's watch their battle. My bell might just be a divine weapon..."

Ahem, I forgot to post this while reading a novel.
