Bab 562: Ancient Ruins (6)

Rudra reached the top of the mage tower as he used Excalibur's size expansion to use his full might and chop the black crystal in half. 

Rudra expected a loud clang , or a great resistance when his sword came in contact with the black crystal however instead the moment Excalibur's edge came into contact with the black crystal , it caught black fire , as within moments the dark gold grade sword was turned into a pool of metal. 

Rudra was utterly stupefied , as he watched the destruction of his beloved sword with his own eyes , as he understood that the crystal was something that he should not mess with lightly , lest he suffer consequences. 

However not one to give up on things he desperately wanted , Rudra decided to take the metal rod that was supporting the crystal out , and use that metal itself to hammer the crystal to break into smaller pieces.
