453 Rune Bomb

Chapter 453: Rune Bomb

Li Xiang’s gaze was cold when he saw the purgatory battlefield outside caused by the collision of ice and fire. There was not a hint of pity in his gaze.

At the same time, he recalled the idea he had first proposed at the Sky Workshop.

After gathering several master craftsmen and scientists from different worlds in the Sky Workshop, he was inspired by the landmines and suggested a similar equipment concept.

!!
However, in his previous life, whether grenades or landmines, their power came from gunpowder. In this world, there was no gunpowder production discovered yet.

It wasn’t because of the lack of materials, but that gunpowder couldn’t cause real damage to the foreign races, fierce beasts, and even Demons.

After all, their recovery ability, defense, and life force were too tenacious. Common humans could not compare to them.

Therefore, he had an idea and turned his attention to the magic runes. The runes’ power was the concrete manifestation of part of the World Laws. As long as he could carve it, he could mobilize the Heaven and Earth energy and exert unimaginable power.

Since magic runes were a means of attack in the hands of Transcendents, why couldn’t they be applied to weapons and equipment?

Back then, he had discussed and researched it with master craftsmen. They confirmed that the destruction power brought by the combination and collision of the ice and fire runes would be terrifying.

They had chosen crystals to be the carrier of the magic runes. Crystals contained pure heaven and earth vitality. When the magic runes were integrated, they would naturally transform the heaven and earth vitality.

However, it was definitely not enough to use only crystals. Crystals could not meet the needs of such a bomb in all aspects, so they developed a new alloy to replace it.

That way, the alloy could nurture the magic runes and also transform its pure vitality, unleashing enough power.

They would then use special materials and attempt to separate the power from the two magic runes. They would only collide when shattered, and after the collision, the heaven and earth vitality within the alloy and crystal would also quickly transform into two kinds of power. That would give the ice and fire power a mighty driving force.

In fact, after repeated experiments, the master craftsmen could not find any material that could be easily shattered yet resist the ice and fire power’s attack.

However, they unintentionally discovered a strange plant nearby. The plant would release a green liquid after it was cut. That liquid was not consumable as it was very bitter. But strangely, it could maintain itself at a specific temperature.

The temperature did not increase whether it was burned or boiled, but it would decrease. It was not afraid of low temperatures either. The green liquid would not freeze no matter how low the temperature was.

It was at a state of constant temperature.

It was a very magical plant.

Most importantly, that liquid would solidify and turn into a green crystal after some time. However, those green crystals were pretty fragile, shattering at the slightest vibration. And they looked like thin ice shards or even more fragile than ice shards.

The discovery of the green liquid allowed the master craftsmen to make a massive breakthrough in their research.

By fusing the crystal shards condensed from the green liquid into the crystals, the ice and fire power would be separated, and they could not collide. However, once the green ice shard shattered, the power within would be triggered and explode.

Even though that item was only a half-finished product in the eyes of the master craftsmen, its destructive power was still terrifying. Only a handful of people below the supreme realm could withstand it if caught off guard.

After a discussion between Li Xiang and the master craftsmen, they named the black orb ‘Rune Bomb’!

…

The appearance of the Rune Bombs, a magical weapon of war, had obviously shocked everyone. The fierce beasts and Foreign Race Army outside were shaken. They didn’t expect a terrifying object like the Rune Bomb to be buried near the Kingdom of Dawn’s cities.

The Rune Bombs killed all the vanguards of the giant snake den.

“Good fellow, these humans are indeed cunning. They actually buried such a terrifying thing underground. Fortunately, those venomous snakes scouted the way. Otherwise, our army would definitely suffer heavy casualties if we barged in.”

The Werewolf King’s eyes were filled with shock, and a trace of fear rose.

The situation was unclear. It would be a terrifying disaster if they were to barge in rashly.

However, their killing intent grew when they saw such a Kingdom of Dawn and became more determined to exterminate it.

The Lord of Dawn had only descended for slightly more than a month. Even with his time in the Trial World, it added to less than half a year.

It was hard to imagine that a country could develop to such an extent quickly. If the Kingdom of Dawn were given more time to develop, it would definitely become a major threat in the future.

“We can’t give the Kingdom of Dawn a chance to continue developing. We must exterminate it this time. Otherwise, it’ll definitely be a formidable opponent in the future.”

On a Floating Warship in distant deep space, dozens of foreign races were staring at the light screen in front of them. Their eyes were filled with intense killing intent.

It wasn’t just them. The other foreign races which saw that scene all had the same thought.

The power the Kingdom of Dawn displayed had made them fear greatly. They would not be able to live in peace with the Kingdom of Dawn’s existence.

When the Black Snake King saw that tragic scene, its eyes were full of intense grudge and hatred.

However, when it saw the giant head hanging on the city wall, its rationality that had just gathered was instantly replaced by madness and hatred.

Even a Rune Bomb could not make it retreat.

Roar-

As the Black Snake’s miserable roar grew, a larger snake den swarmed toward North City like a tide. Those venomous snakes seemed to be intimidated by an invisible force. They were driven by the instincts in their blood and could not resist the bloodline suppression.

The snake den charged toward the city wall again.

However, the way they charged had changed.

The snakes didn’t surround from all directions. Instead, they chose a specific region and pushed forward in a straight line.

Boom, boom, boom…

The Rune Bombs on the ground were triggered one after another, and the vibrations caused by the snakes’ movements triggered more Rune Bombs to explode one after another. The destructive power from the ice and fire blasted many venomous snakes. They were either frozen or burned by the flames.

However, under the Black Snake King’s surveillance, the entire snake den did not dare retreat. They could only advance madly, forcing the way through with their bodies to open up an over-hundred-meters wide path in the Rune Bomb area.
