I am the God of Technology

Chapter 178 Blood Battle Halberd

And he easily got it. There were no hidden surprises nor sudden plot twists, he just plucked the fruit from the tree, and nothing seemed to change about the fruit or the tree. This made him sigh with relief and remember that Xue Bing had told him that students could bring the fruit out and hand it to their factions.

If the fruit deteriorated rapidly, then how could students take it out after 30 days and then hand it to their factions, who were now going to fight internally and deliberate as to who was going to use it?

Dante glanced at the fruit contemplatively. He first tossed it into his quantum space but then realized that this was foolish because his quantum space was meant for nonliving things and did not contaminate them.

So there was nothing to test. If there was anything, it would be whether he could bring it out of the quantum world and use it in reality. This would require him to gather more fruits from this virtual world and test his theory out on them, which was on the agenda.

Dante turned to the ongoing fight and saw that each of them were panting as they were thoroughly tired. Dante became slightly impatient and decided to accelerate things so that he could achieve his goals, for he had other plans.

Using his Celestial tether, he sneakily asked the 9 beasts for the locations of the other tree, its design, and the monsters likely to covet it. After they fed him all this information, Dante immediately told them to look at him once more.

All 9 glanced over at once to see Dante’s eyes shine again. They were put under a brief illusion that their fight had rampaged for a while and the aftershocks had killed Dante, with the blame lying on the foot of the other 8.

Dante used this time to teleport away, heading in the direction of the nearest tree based on the information he received from these fellows. If if they scanned around, they would not be able to detect him with how far he had gone in this short time.

When their senses came back, each of the beats roared with unwillingness and agony, their heart-shattering at the thought that they had been cruelly separated from their master by fate again after just reuniting!

As such, their eyes became bloodshot with hatred and they pounced on one another, swearing to fight until the death and even unleashing their deepest hidden trump cards to take the other beasts down for good.

The carnage that went on here would be remembered by the other beasts that inhabited this area for years after today. If this particular world was only a single-player instance type, it would have a very interesting historical report after this event.

Dante himself traversed the relatively small Zero Gate world and came upon the next tree before a minute was up using his spatial magic. Here, he found another group of beasts confronting each other that numbered only 5.

However, they were much larger and more varied than the previous group. Dante wanted to test his combat capabilities against these ‘suppressed’ beats without having their information in case he was ambushed or forced into a battle in the real Zero Gate world without having his usual privilege.

Of course, in the real Zero Gate, his first option would not be to fight like an idiot but to use his illusion abilities to the maximum, but this test also assumed that some miracle occurred and his illusion abilities were either blocked or could not work.

As such, Dante pulled out his Blood Battle Halberd from his quantum space.

The Blood Battle Halberd was a masterfully crafted weapon, a true work of art, forged by the skilled hands of Weapons Elder Ah Jin from the True Martial World.

Its most striking feature was its deep blood-red hue, resembling the very essence of boiling blood itself.

The halberd’s shaft was composed of a rare, sturdy wood that seemed to pulse with power, resonating with the user’s blood qi.

Intricate designs etched along the blade and shaft depict scenes of blood flowing through vessels, showcasing Ah Jin’s exceptional craftsmanship.

When combined with the Raging Blood Halberd Technique, it became a formidable weapon. The vessel-like designs on the blade enhance its cutting power through the infusion of blood qi but the user, allowing it to cleave through even the toughest of defenses.

With each swing, it even absorbed the blood essence of the opponent, channeling it into a surge of energy that temporarily bolsters the user’s power. If Dante found a way to pair this with gluttonous Inferno, that could yield excellent results.

Dante flourished the halberd he had recently collected from the Weapons Elder since he was only qualified to use a blood martial weapon at the Martial Blood Realm when he could finally use blood Qi freely.

Dante was still at the entry point of the realm, but with his stats, it was not he who benefited from the practice of External Martial Arts in combat but rather his External Martial Arts that benefited from him.

The young man charged forth with his halberd, igniting his blood Qi and letting it flow into the blade edge. The weapon lit up like it was on fire, or had turned into a Supa Sayajin with its glowing aura, but did not have the lightning aspect… yet.

The beasts instantly reacted to Dante’s presence, but could not react to his attack. After all, 1500 points of Agility were not for show. It was nonsense to think that the Flash would lose in a fight against anyone except fellow speedsters or Superman given the speed he moved.

Just like that popular meme video pointed out, he could entirely have a round with your woman right in front of you, and the only way you would notice was by how raggedy she looked after.

As such, the first monster that Dante targeted was, almost poetically, an ape-like creature. It had golden fur and thick arms that were full of muscles that were corded like steel wires used for constructing buildings.

It could only change its expression slightly but the time Dante appeared and cut off its left leg with a single swing of his halberd, a blood-red light forming an afterimage that seemed to stick itself onto space itself for a few seconds before dissipating.

Meanwhile, the outcome of the ape was not so beautiful or moving. The force of the blow caused it to fly backward and crash into a nearby thicket, its lower leg turning into mush that could not be used for anything but mincemeat with spaghetti.

Dante glanced at the nearest monster which was a quadrupedal type that was similar to a horse. It had similar aesthetics to the previous monkey with a golden mane and a coat that was polished yellow.

It neighed with a hint of shock and anger at the sudden interruption and its eyes glowed with malice. It suddenly charged forth at Dante, a golden light erupting from its body.

Dante was surprised to see that its speed was no joke, and he would rate it as being around 400 or 500 points of Agility, enough to blindside any normal student. However, to him, it was like being Usain Bolt and watching a penguin waddle towards you furiously.

Dante easily sidestepped its charge and then swung lazily. His blood Qi once again left a huge mark, this time a vertical slice that cut the void.

The horse-like beast that was about the size of a small building stopped and turned around, ready to charge again. However, it suddenly noticed that its body became light and it could not even remain standing as both halves of its body fell to either side.

With its strong lifeforce, it was still alive, so it screamed in agony as its blood spurted out wantonly while its guts and innards began to fall out like rotten sludge from an over-filled fridge.

The other three monsters that were about to attack were shocked into silence and glanced at Dante with fear. Dante himself did not stop to admire the scenery and charged towards the next monster with the intent to kill.

He was not the type of monologue during his victory or wait stupidly to give his foes time to activate their special power. He had seen how many winners who should have clutched their battles rapidly turned into losers due to this fact.

The final three did not put up much of a significant fight. They had superpowers yes, but it was useless even if you had to power to destroy the cosmos if you couldn’t defend against your attacker.

Of course, this was only possible because Dante smashed them and took the preemptive strike method. If these guys attacked first and used their various powers first, who knew if he would be the one to die.

Even as he stood victoriously before the now golden colored tree that shone with an alluring light, Dante did not feel much of an accomplishment, rather feeling the need to become more versatile and skillful.
