The Storm Rises Chapter 152 "Demon" Dragon
(When you read this chapter, it should already be January 1st, hahaha, happy roar in 2023!) )
"Strong!" After clearing all six rounds of ammunition from the wheel, Charles spun the Furnace Fury in a very coquettish manner, and put the large revolver back into the holster that matched the alchemy firearm.
The five or six dummies at the Alchemy Workshop's shooting range had been smashed into a pile of metal fragments by bullets fired from the Furnace Fury, and the partially molten metal flowed everywhere and solidified on the stone paved floor, which were all detachable, and when the time came, they were put into the furnace with the metal on them, and they were perfectly separated.
"This thing is too useful, it shouldn't be too difficult to seriously injure any official knight in the case of a sneak attack, although this kind of trajectory is easy to dodge by the knight if you pull it out and shoot it directly."
Charles watched with satisfaction the damage he had done to the hapless metal dummies after firing six rounds in a row, and took a smug look at the merits and limitations of Crucible Fury.
This one was completed by Avia, and it may be the pinnacle of the power of the work in her hand at the moment, and it is stronger than the exaggerated power after completing the energy storage in the "Crucible", and few such small magic guides can reach the same power.
The problem is that it takes about three seconds to charge the furnace, during which there will be obvious fluctuations in mana, and once it is detected, then with the knight's physical fitness, it is completely possible to avoid this straight trajectory during the pause of trigger activation.
"It can also be loaded with normal ammunition, just like the alchemy guns in the container above."
Wang Yu said, quickly pulling out his furnace rage, and quickly pulled the hammer, "Boom, boom, boom" Six sparks bloomed on the muzzle of the gun almost at the same time, and the bullets propelled by the alchemy burner flew out, hitting the mangled body of the fallen dummy.
The physical fitness of the knight allows him to be a sharpshooter when he gets a gun, and his dynamic vision and other abilities crush those beings on the earth too much...
The bullets were embedded in the metal dummy's body, but they didn't have the same exaggerated destructive effect as the Crucible's Fury Charge, which was pretty good.
"This kind of power should also pose a threat to us, the Iron Sun Shield should be able to eat five or six shots, and then, if the barrier is not hit at the same point in a row, it can hold it all the time."
Walking up to the metal dummy with the projectile embedded in the stump, Edward took a projectile from the dummy's body, looked at the gap where the metal dummy had been punched, and gave this judgment.
The barrier is Edward's inner potential awakened in the official knight stage, compared to Wang Yu's awakening of the inner submersion, he naturally has the ability to mark the unique power of the official knight.
For the time being, Wang Yu still doesn't know the specific ability of Edward's internal submarine, only that this is a specialized defensive ability, but Edward doesn't plan to hide it, and tells Wang Yu and Charles very calmly that this ability will naturally show up in battle.
"Haha, you have to be careful in the future, it's easy for me to deal with you with this alchemy firearm." With an inexplicable excitement, Charles took aim at Edward's unloaded Furnace Fury.
"Don't forget, I can also buy ordinary alchemy firearms from the crates above, although they don't have the explosive power of yours, but what do you think it would be like if a knight used this against you?"
Edward shrugged his shoulders and didn't even contradict Charles, just wondering what would happen if a knight used this against him as a mage.
"Shhh Charles gasped, and immediately realized how miserable he would be as a mage if he had the means to get up close.
"No, I'm going to go and learn the quagmire spell that all kinds of blow slashes are invalidated, or I'll be killed one day if I don't know what's going on." Charles immediately thought of a solution, there were quite a lot of physical nullification spells in magic and sorcery above the third order...
"Empty, empty..."The movement of the elevator behind him attracted the attention of Edward and Charles, and Wang Yu and Avia knew who would be coming at this time.
"Good afternoon, everyone." Ziggy stepped down from the elevator with a smile on his face and greeted the four.
"Uh, Professor, why are you here?" When Charles saw Zigger, he naturally ran behind Edward and shrunk up, although the disrespect was true, but he should be afraid of these two superiors.
"Confidentiality." Ziggy kept smiling, making a shushing gesture to Edward and Charles, and nodding to Wang Yu and Avia.
"Got it, then let's go first." Charles and Edward were about to meet Ziggy's meaning, it seemed that there was a need for secrecy, so there was no need to stay here, and the two of them left quickly without hesitation.
"Remember to use less special bullets, the cost of that thing is still very high, ordinary alchemy ammunition is sold on it, and then, the cost price of the two is seventy-fifty off, and it is permanently valid."
Before Edward and Charles left, Wang Yu reminded Charles and added a discount for the two.
"Thank you." Both of them thanked Wang Yu very seriously, these items in the alchemy shop were things that would really help them.
……
"The alchemy shop is good." Ziggy followed Avia and Wang Yu towards the larger venue deeper in the alchemy workshop, and sincerely praised the alchemy grocery store above.
These things are not very useful for a powerhouse of his level, but the members of the Night Blade should be able to use them.
"Hopefully, more people will be willing to put things here to sell, and I can buy some useful things."
Wang Yu's selfishness is very simple, more and more members of the Night Church are willing to put things here to sell, and if Avia, as the store manager, can grasp the first-hand information, then he will be able to convert the remaining gold coins into effective strength.
The short walk was quickly completed, and the three of them reached an empty rectangular cavity carved out of the mountain in the underground space that had been dug out for need.
"I guess this place has been sheltered by the power of the Night Lady, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to reveal my full body." Ziggy glanced at the huge dark space and asked, in the Night Church, there is a shroud in the power of the Night Lady, and the darkness does not actually affect eyesight, etc.
"The Night Lady has surrounded the entire Nightfall Church with power, Mr. Ziggy you can use it with confidence, but if you don't mind, I would like to ask Mr. Ziggy how he completed the conversion of dragon body and human body, if Mr. Ziggy can't use magic, is it witchcraft?"
Avia confirmed that the power of the Night Lady had obscured Ziggy's presence, and that she didn't have to worry that the display of dragon blood would attract the attention of the terrifying being, and the girl asked Ziggy a question she had always been curious about.
Ziggy couldn't use magic because he was born with a cripple, but he was able to switch between human form and dragon form, and what kind of power was used, could it be the power of the void.
"No, I don't know what power it is, but it's certainly not the power of the Void, I'm born with this ability, the dragon body will be in a space that only I can feel when it is not manifested, and when I want to show this dragon body, it will overlap with me, until... Fully revealed. ”
Ziggy said, denying the connection between this ability and the void, and at the same time rolled up his sleeves, the hard scales of the dragon began to spread from the back of Zig's palm to the periphery, and the nails were replaced by tough and sharp claws little by little, and the dragon body in his mouth was overlapping with the human body in space, and the characteristics of the dragon family were displayed on Zig's body.
"Noelle's similar traits to the half-dragon are actually partly due to her lack of mastery of this innate ability, she lives happily in the Night Church, there is no discrimination, and Mr. Hollo's school also has a lot of knowledge that cannot be learned outside, which is really very grateful."
When Ziggy talked about this, he mentioned that his sister could make Noelle happy, and the guilt in his incompetent old brother's heart was a little lighter.
"I have also speculated and studied the source of this power to transform the human body and the dragon body ability before, but because I don't dare to show the body of the dragon clan in the outside world, it is very troublesome for the Dragon Worship Sect and "Him" to watch, and I have not been able to study and understand this power similar to the innate spell ability. ”
Ziggy looked at his right hand with the characteristics of the dragon race, how could a scholar, give up the investigation of this innate power.
"Nei Qian, I think the closest thing to this power now should be the power that the knight awakens in the official knight stage, the same is not magic or from the void, but my power definitely does not come from the fighting spirit."
After thinking about it, Ziggy said that there was another power that he felt was closest to this power, and that was the inner potential.
"Inner submersion, but also, the essence of internal submersion is the matrix of fighting spirit, the existence of the knight's secret method has proved this, but the power of internal submersion itself is also very unreasonable, obviously the power born from the body can distort reality like the void and affect others, it's really amazing."
Wang Yu very much agrees with Zigger's guess, just the "deadly rhythm" of Oka's inner submersion that he directly faced once is already outrageous, and there seem to be many more powerful inner submarines.
"I see, then Mr. Ziggy, you can show your dragon body, and my side is fully prepared." Although Avia didn't get an accurate answer, she also satisfied a wave of curiosity about the dragon's innate ability, and began to prepare for the next most important attempt.
"No problem." Ziggy nodded, and the dragon body in the space that only he could sense suddenly overlapped with the humanoid body in space, and the huge red dragon body appeared in the underground space, and the broken wings could not hide the power that belonged to the dragon clan.
"Hmm..."Feeling the pressure of the dragon clan up close, Avia's body still had an instinctive sense of fear, so that the girl had to rub her temples hard, but fortunately she quickly managed to adjust.
As for Wang Yu, he was still unaffected as always, but when he felt the strength of the body belonging to the dragon race, the top race of another world, he did not hide the shock and a little excitement in his eyes.
The huge red dragon body occupies a large part of the space even in this huge underground cavity that has been opened up, and when you observe those broken skeleton-like stumps at close range, with the extremely intimidating red dragon body, there is a dilapidated but still shocking beauty.
"Miss Avia, please feel free to try it, there should be no problem with the recovery ability of this dragon body." The professor's gentle voice was conveyed to the two people present in a spiritual way.
"Okay." Avia, who had already held the tools in her hand to carve the magic guidance circuit, walked to the side of the red dragon's huge body, and the attempt she had to make now was to "make up" the innate defects of Zig by carving the magic guidance circuit on Zig's dragon scales, which she had mentioned to Wang Yu.
…
The metal Demon Pattern Carving Knife and the hard dragon scales collided, and the Demon Pattern Carving Knife, which could easily leave traces on the surface of the ordinary metal, acted extremely the surface of the dragon scales, and the sparks splashed, and only left a small trace.
"It's a big exaggeration to be the scales of the dragon clan." Wang Yu sighed, the work of carving the magic guide circuit on the dragon scales was completed by Avia's command, the knight's physical fitness made Wang Yu like a human machine tool, accurate and powerful, as long as Avia gave the diagram of the magic circle, he could complete the depiction with high accuracy.
The hardness of the dragon scales is really terrifying, Wang Yu has to turn on the blood drive to complete the portrayal more easily, otherwise he has to pull hard.
"It's really hard to depict, but the dragon scales are really good for the magic power, and the general magic affinity metal is completely inferior to the dragon scales' conduction performance of magic power." Avia, who was next to Wang Yu to complete the portrayal of the magic guidance circuit, was amazed after using the instrument to detect the nature of the dragon scales.
The dragon clan is worthy of being born a powerful race that is naturally dependent on magic, and any part of the body has an excellent magic affinity, and Zig's natural magic guide circuit is missing, but it does not mean that the material on the dragon's body has changed, and the magic affinity is still extremely good.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm still causing you trouble, and I rarely have the opportunity to show the complete body of this dragon, and now I feel really good." There was an inexplicable relaxation in Zigger's slightly apologetic words
"Click..."The Demon Pattern Knife struggled to carve the last groove in a splash of sparks, and the experimental magic array was completely carved on one of Zig's dragon scales
"Shhhh Wang Yu looked at the magic pattern carving knife in his hand, which was already full of pitholes, and handed it to Avia a little helplessly for her to see.
"Throw it away, it can't be used." Avia knew at a glance that this thing was scrapped, so she asked Wang Yu to throw it away, and next time she carved more magic circuits for Ziggy, she would have to use a special carving knife.
"Hmm... Test the effect of the circle. "Avia injected a little magic into this magic circle that was completed by overlapping two layers of magic circuits, thanks to Wang Yu's high precision, it would be much more difficult for the girl to complete this complex three-dimensional circle alone.
The first layer of the magic circuit was activated and started to operate under the drive of this trace of magic power, and the purpose of this magic circle is to enrich the magic power in the environment and then hand it over to the next layer of magic channeling circuit, so that the second layer of magic circuit can operate normally without the supply of Ziged magic power.
The second layer of the magic circuit began to emit a faint purple shimmer after the magic power was injected into the first layer of the magic circuit, and brought small and tangible arcs of electricity on the surface of the Siggy dragon scales, which were the gravitational magic carved by Avia on the surface of the Siggy body.
"How's it going, do you feel it?" After confirming that the circle was working properly, Avia asked Ziggy how he felt.
"Very, wonderful feeling, I can feel the magic flowing through my body, but I can't control them, and although the power is not great, I can also feel the magic providing the power to lift me up, if about a third of my body is painted with the same formation, I should be able to fly."
Ziggy felt his body, the actual flow of magic was a very novel feeling, although it could not be controlled, but it was indeed the first time that the flow of magic appeared within his dragon body.
And that gravity circle also provided a somewhat insignificant lift compared to the entire body, but as long as it was enough, it could really bring him up.
"Nice, after carving a part of the magic patterns used to connect with Mr. Ziggy's mental power and those magic circles on your body, it should allow you to achieve control over the magic circle of the entire body, so that it is very similar to ordinary magicians, you can control the magic power, but you can only use fixed carved magic."
Said a word that Wang Yu learned to express her happiness, the girl clenched her fist, the dragon clan is really different from ordinary races, and it is impossible for humans to use this way of carving a magic circle on the surface of the body to obtain the ability to cast spells.
"Yes, it really can..."Ziggy was absolutely knowledgeable as a professor, and after the first circle was carved and successfully functioned, he had already judged that Avia's idea was perfectly okay based on his knowledge.
Some of his previous doubts about this method were mainly due to the fact that he had not been able to show the dragon body at will and study it before.
After being able to show the dragon body under the protection of the Night Lady, he confirmed that he, who was made of magical affinity materials all over his body, could really regain his crippled spell-casting ability in this way, and he, the "Winged Dragon", could become a "demonic" dragon in this way.
"That's amazing." The red dragon's pupils swept over Avia, who was contemplating the next formation, and he once again saw the amazing talent of the girl he had met through Wang Yu.
The dragon's body gradually shrank, and the dragon's body sank into the space that only Ziggy could observe, and in the process of separating from the dragon's body a little bit, Ziggy found that on his humanoid right hand, a small dragon scale was gradually shrinking, corresponding to the dragon scale above the dragon body that was carved into the formation, there was a slight purple arc beating...
His eyes opened slightly, it turned out that his body and the dragon body were the same in a sense...
