Chapter 716 Carpet Bombing
"But, before the explosion I clearly felt that boy intense mana." said Nabe.
"Hmm…. Since there are no more explosions, the boy should be able to control it. Still, such a horrifying talent."
"He is capable of taming such powerful power at a young age. No wonder he could attract a lot of powerful people. It makes me remember a certain ancient prophecy." said Alder.
"Prophecy? What prophecy?" asked Nabe with interest.
"Hmm… If I am not wrong, it should be like this. 'When there is order, chaos breaks out. When there is chaos, the order is formed. Through space and time, a king was born. A king above the king. None shall oppose his will or face his wrath.'" said Alder.
"Err… That's a kind of… demon lord prophecy in the fairy tale. Are you sure you don't miss remembering it? I mean, it is certainly similar to the cliche demon lord prophecy in the fairy tale story." asked Nabe.
"Hahaha… I thought so. But, it is etched in the Dragon memoir as the oldest prophecy. This is also why we dragons love to nurture talented people." said Alder.
"So, your kind may not provoke this king's hostility?" asked Nabe. 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Hmm… If it is in the past, yes. But, now… Let's just say time changes everyone, even dragons. There is no other king left in this world. Even if there is, they should be hiding somewhere in seclusion. No one remembers what 'King' is today," said Alder casually.
"Agreed. Although I also didn't truly experience the true power of the 'King', there are some traces of them throughout history. If it is not your reminder, I will think they are just an exaggerated record. You know the history is written by the winner." said Nabe.
"Hahaha…. You are right. But, no one knows who is the true winner or loser." said Alder cryptically.
While Alder and Nabe were chatting with each other, the other tower guardians couldn't help but listen to them carefully. Each of these people is a powerful expert in their respective fields. They somehow could guess Nabe and Alder were talking about important things.
Some may think history and prophecy have nothing to do with them. In fact, it is the opposite. As someone delves deeper into a certain field, they often find a trace of ancient history.
Some even speculate that there was a more powerful and advanced civilization in the past. Furthermore, this speculation is not without a base. Because of the threat of monster hordes worldwide, some places are completely isolated from others.
Sometimes this place contains more advanced or backward technology than the other place. A simple example is the current Undermine Council. It contains a lot of highly advanced magic tools, especially the mass train.
This kind of technology broke through a few generations of the technological age from ordinary carriages still being used. As a result, some experts often pay attention to history or civilization in case they can find a trace of lost technology in the past.
Among the history they learn, they also often hear the word 'king'. Combining with Nabe and Alder's conversation, they know the 'king' mentioned in the past is not the same king as now.
They don't know the difference, but these 'kings' should be at least a powerful seventh-grade level.
Meanwhile, Angus and his group used the opportunity created by Warcheif Might to break the barrier. The lockdown barrier is made of sturdy wall material and complex rune barriers all over Undermine Council.
If it is only a simple rune barrier, one just needs to use powerful force to break it like glass. However, the Undermine Council barrier comprises countless source points and complex rune connections.
Unless it hits absolute power at one point, it will keep the barrier active and even repair the damaged part.
Furthermore, the barrier rune also keeps changing with endless patterns every second. Basically, it is impossible to break or try to decode it. Still, it doesn't mean the barrier is invincible.
Like any barrier, if the incoming external force is too strong or somehow reaches the limit, it will also break. Angus plans to break the barrier limits.
Breaking the barrier limit is not just through brute force. It could also be done in various ways, such as destroying the power source point or continuously damaging the barrier.
Angus is planning to put a lot of stress on the barrier until it collapses or reveals a weakness. Just after Angus orders Porky to fly lower, he notices something from below.
"[Bing Bong Boots - Transport]!!" said Angus before his boot shone brightly.
A moment later, a giant pinky bubble with a pair of wings covered the whole Giant Porky before disappearing on the spot.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠.
*Swish* *Swish* *Swish* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* As soon as Giant Porky disappears, a series of magical cannon bombs pass through their previous location and explode.
"Tch… Dumrod truly works fast. He immediately took control of all the weapons systems in the surrounding area." said Angus, clutching his head from the sudden motion sickness.
At the same time, Jayna is already vomiting beside him while Anna is jumping around excitedly. His artifact boots are excellent artifacts to escape. But, the sudden acceleration of speed will make anyone get motion sickness.
Even now, Angus and Jayna still have difficulty getting used to it despite already using it a few times. Still, it is a good escape method, especially in the air. They could travel for dozens of kilometers away in seconds without getting detected.
"Porky, fly lower!! Jayna, let's bombard the whole area first. Anna, shoot around." said Angus while giving Anna a huge automatic magic gun.
"Ehh… Can Anna use it?!" asked Anna excitedly.
"Yes. Just point them down below. Remember to always point down below!!" warned Angus sternly while he helped Jayna dispel her motion sickness.
"Okay!! Okay!! Love you, Daddy!!" said Anna before jumping around toward Porky Head.
The little girl holding a big automatic magic gun to Anna. After knowing the advantage of magic guns during the Nirvas incident, Angus developed many kinds of magic guns.
With his current wealth, he could procure many expensive ingredients through Aunt Hersha's connections. During this time, Anna stole one of his magic guns to play around with it, which led to a disaster.
It is not that she broke the magic gun and used it as a blunt weapon. In fact, Anna could grab and even hold the magic gun properly. The only problem is she always closes her eyes when she pulls the trigger. This makes her shoot blindly everywhere.
Furthermore, she will not stop shooting until she completely uses up all the energy of the magic gun or its bullets. To anticipate this, Angus creates an automatic magic gun similar to a machine gun in his past life.
With the bullet rain, Anna didn't need to worry about aiming and just pointed it in the right direction. As for the bullet, he made it only contain a small fireball explosion to lower the cost. *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*
"Hehehe… Die!! Die!! Die!! You ugly grass bubble!!" laughed Anna loudly while starting to shoot down.
As Angus and Jayna speculate, Anna closes her eyes, shooting and laughing loudly. Despite this, Anna could cause huge destruction below. The magic bullet in her gun may only contain a small fireball explosion.
Still, when it keeps hitting the same area, it will slowly become a strong chain explosion, creating something akin to carpet combing. Jayna also didn't miss this chance and released large-scale attacks.
Jayna creates a massive fire wing behind her before shooting fiery feathers below rapidly [Phoenix Rain]. *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* The moment the fiery feather touches something, it will create a large explosion.
With the improvement in [Hellfire] and her fire mastery, her [Phoenix Rain] became more powerful and destructive. Each one of the feathers could produce a strong blast and explosion. Unfortunately, this skill consumes a lot of her mana.
Releasing a single flock of feathers is enough to bottom out her mana. If she is not getting supplied by Angus through their [Allegiance] bond, she may already reach the mana deficiency state a long time ago.
On the other hand, Angus didn't worry about his mana getting bottomed out. His passive mana regeneration is enough to keep them supplied for a while. Moreover, he will not use any mana for a while.
While Jayna and Anna create a lot of explosions and carpet bomb the area, Angus is trying to snipe down the power source point of the barrier using his special sniper magic gun. *BAM* *Cling* A bullet shot from his gun and hit the exact power source point.
The barrier power source point is divided into two types. The first is invisible to the naked eye without any actual physical appearance. The other has a real physical appearance in the form of a rare enchanted crystal. The two of them are important to keep the barrier active.
Angus knew he didn't have any chance to destroy the physical power source point as it was hidden deeply and had strong protection. Therefore, he could only target the invisible power source point for now.
However, there is no change or even explosion in the surrounding area. If there is a change, the transparent barrier suddenly glows blue momentarily. Still, Angus didn't stop and target another power source point.
