Chapter 319: Ch-319: Arcane Devourer Mech

Victor had already accumulated enough Red Obsidian from the dungeon, which he had set up along with other dungeons.

"Hmm, maybe after I create the army, I should sell the previously crafted Mechs in the Realmworld through my Guild or the player market. I could even sell them to the Queen’s Faction and Princess Amanda," Victor mumbled.

Victor waved his hand, and 100 kg of Red Obsidian vanished and arrived inside his inventory, and he walked towards a workstation.

Then he started the furnace and increased the heat to the highest degree possible, which was close to 10,000 degrees Celsius.

Then he poured all the Red Obsidian ore into the furnace, which gradually started to melt. Victor then began creating the smelter according to the blueprint he had acquired.

Clang! Clang!

After many hours, Victor stood before a huge cylindrical structure.

[Ding Dong]

[You have crafted the Mid-Grade Magi Steel Smelter]

"Hmm, not bad. It’s much more advanced and better-looking than the previous smelter." Victor smiled as he gazed at the large Smelter and nodded his head in satisfaction.

Victor then walked towards the smelter, and his hand brushed against a small button, which he pressed.

Shing.

Instantly, two large openings appeared—one at the top of the smelter and another at the bottom. The top of the smelter started absorbing mana from the surroundings at an insane speed, much faster than the previous one. The quality of the mana was also far greater.

Victor then opened his stats to see the amount of experience he had. "I should have a lot. I have been saving a lot."

"5 million. Not bad." Most of the chunk he had gained recently was from forming his own Kingdom and being rewarded by the Records.

He then opened the shop again and looked at the shop for the new Magisteel and Mech until he found the one he liked.

Arcane Devourer Mech

Description: A very powerful Mech that is made of refined Magisteel, which gives the Mech the ability to devour mana from attacks landed on the Mech, and this also reduces damage. The Mech has an in-built flight ability, which gives it superior aerial combat ability. The Mech is reinforced by a large, long sword and missiles, which are made of refined Magisteel and can absorb mana if the missiles or sword touch the target.

Modes:

Flight Mode: Wings made of mana sprout from the back of the Mech, and thrusters appear at the feet of the Mech, which give the Mech flight abilities. During this mode, the long sword transforms into two light-handed swords, and the damage from the missiles is doubled.

Cannon Mode: When the mana gained from the enemies reaches maximum capacity, this mode can be used. During this mode, the Mech becomes completely immovable, and a gigantic cannon appears on the back of the Mech. All the stored mana it gained from enemies turns into a powerful mana beam, which can be fired from the cannon and can destroy an island with one shot and even injure a weak Tier 4 Warlock. After the shot is fired, the Mech reverts back, and the pilot has to fill the mana again to use this mode.

Items Required: 50 tons of Refined Magisteel, 100 Tier 1 Monster Cores, 1 Tier 2 Monster Core

Cost: 4 million experience points

Rank: Epic

"Umu, totally worth the points." Victor nodded in satisfaction and decided that the Mechs would become the signature of the Silvernum Army. Few Kingdoms had their own unique army, which was their Royal Army and under the command of the royal family. Nobles had no chance of claiming a stake in the Royal Army, but sadly, the Eindrik Kingdom did not have one and fell into civil war. He decided that Mechs would be the Royal Army of his Kingdom, and the Arcane Devourer was perfect for the time being.

The next moment, he saw Victor toss about a hundred Monster Cores and 100 kg of Red Obsidian into the opening at the bottom.

Shing! Shing!

The smelter started to vibrate, and the sound of something being crushed to bits echoed from within.

After about a minute, the smelter stopped, and Victor walked forward and retrieved a large chunk of red metal the size of his fist.

"The mana absorption is really high. No wonder the Mechs made from these will be able to absorb mana... I wonder how much the higher-ranked Magisteel can absorb?" Victor mused.

Victor then started working on creating the Mech.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A few hours later—

[You have created Arcane Devourer Mech]

Arcane Devourer

Requirements: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Knights or Warlocks

Victor looked at the large Mech, which was comparable to the height of ten humans stacked together, and about 20 meters in length and width. It stood on two legs, with a large greatsword of at least two meters in its mechanical hands. Victor nodded his head several times in satisfaction.

Victor looked at the metallic bracelet on his wrist, which was part of the Mech. He walked close to the Mech, and a beam of red light shot from the eyes of the Mech, which directly scanned his entire body, and a cold mechanical voice rang out.

"Mechanical ID has been detected."

As soon as he walked inside, he was greeted by pitch-black darkness. After a few seconds, lights flickered inside, and then a screen along with a few wires and straps appeared before him.

"Please, strap the wires to your body," a mechanical voice rang out, and Victor obliged and strapped the wires to his hands, feet, and head. As soon as he did this, he felt a connection to the Mech, and the giant screen vanished, and the entire interior showed a 360-degree view of the outside of the Mech.

He made a grasping gesture and saw the metallic arms grasp the sword outside; he moved in a swinging gesture, and the Mech also swung the giant sword horizontally.

"Hmm, this Mech is the same as the previous one... Looks like I can’t use the Cannon Mode now," Victor said as he exited the Mech.

"Lilith," Victor said, looking at his shadow, and a familiar cat emerged from his shadow.

"Yawn, why did Sir Victor call Miss Lilith? She was sleeping," Lilith said with a lazy expression on her face as she licked her paws.

Just then, all of a sudden, all the metallic hairs on her body stood up as she felt a wave of danger and looked around until she noticed the gigantic Mech.

"Sir Victor, is this the new Mech you created? Miss Lilith feels danger from the Mech," Lilith said, looking at the Mech with narrowed eyes as if it were a monster that could attack her at any moment.

"Yes, this is a new Mech I created. Do you want to test it? Try attacking it," Victor said with a smile as the cat looked at him with suspicion but still nodded, as she was itching to hit the Mech.

Crackle!

Electricity crackled on her little paws as she shouted, "Meow, Miss Lilith is going to turn it into scraps!"

Bang!

"Meow!" Lilith’s eyes widened when she felt pain from hitting the Mech, and suddenly, the lines around its body glowed purple, which neutralized the electric claw attack and absorbed the mana.

"Sir Victor, this thing absorbed Miss Lilith’s attack!" Lilith looked at Victor and said with shock.

"Yes, it’s made of refined Magisteel and can absorb mana-based attacks... Now, Lilith, take these," Victor said, tossing the blueprints to her, and said, "Learn this, teach it to the worker robots, and help me make more Mechs."

"Yes, sir," Lilith said obediently as she left the room, and Victor resumed crafting more Mechs.

While Victor was busy making Mechs, a small crowd was gathered in the private training grounds. On one side was Rina, wearing her new Imperial robes and waiting for her opponent to appear.

Step! Step!

A mature female with a Queenly demeanor stepped onto the opposite side of Rina, who smiled at her.

Rina looked at the woman and addressed her with a polite smile. "Queen Selene, shall we begin?"

Yes, the very Queen Selene, the leader of the third faction vying for complete control of the Eindrik Kingdom.

"Sure, I am very eager to test our strength. I hope it is as strong as the rumors," Queen Selene also said with an eager look on her face.

"You won’t be disappointed at all," Rina said.

Now, how on heavens did this situation come to be?
