Novel Full 925 What Happened?!!
And everywhere… A deep hole appeared in the place where towering mountains were there minutes ago.
Damn! Was this the effect of a single piece of this ore? Damn you Angelica! You should have warned me before about how deadly this was.
[Hye! Hye! What the heck happened?!!! A mighty explosion just occured and reached a few towns and cities!]
Damn! It even reached this far? I flew for half an hour, meaning I crossed over fifty miles at least.
[Any dead?]
[Lots! But that’s not the issue. What the heck happened?]
[Are we under attack?]
And just as I read Angelica’s distressful message, Lily sent as well.
[It’s fine, I was just testing something]
[Testing? Dammit! You scared all of us! What the heck was that? A new weapon?]
[You can say so. Just reassure everyone and return to your training]
[Training? You scared the sh*t out of these monsters. They are all back into the ocean!]
Wow! Even monsters get scared from this?
[What happened?] and just as I was amazed with what Lily sent, Angelica sent again.
[Why didn’t you tell me that these ores are this deadly? I just tried one out and that was what happened!]
[What? How?!! No way! Which ore did you use?]
[The dark purple one]
[It’s one of the most explosive ones. But… Hye, the last time we tried, it only detonated at a circle of one hundred metres! This one… Damn! It went beyond my ability to guess its scale!!]
This… What the heck just happened here then?
[For real? Don’t bluff me!]
[I’m not! The fiercest is that black one, and it exploded in a two hundred metre circle!]
This… [Tell me, what did you use to detonate it?] I had to ask. After all, something must have changed the fierceness of this ore, turning it from a small scale grenade into such a weapon of mass destruction.
[We used our skills. What else can we use, genius!]
[I see…] I didn’t get it actually, [So you didn’t use anything else? Was it that big?]
[No, we got almost the same size from that vein as I recall]
[Ok, keep working then and let me think about it]
I closed the chat while looking in a daze all around. This terrain got changed beyond recognition anymore.
What the heck just happened here? Why did that ore turn so fierce and explode with such might?
And in less than half an hour, and after checking the core of that explosion, I couldn’t help but inwardly sigh.
“Pretty damn fierce! I never expected my spiritual energy to be this fierce!”
As I reached that core, I found something new. It was a grand gathering of thick and dark blue threads, enveloping over each other, moving around as if they were serpents.
These were my threads, and I just recalled I used ten threads to touch that ore before everything happened.
The only explanation was there in front of my eyes; my threads did this! And from the giant size of this ball, stretching over five hundred metres in diameter, I knew it wasn’t just about my threads stirring up the energy inside the purple ore.
“It must have absorbed part of my power,” this was the only reason, “was it trying to mimic my technique? Or did it augment it and copy its effects?”
The truth was lying there in front of my eyes, but I couldn’t explain it… Yet.
“Go…” And as my threads were there forming a big ball, I moved my own towards it.
The moment my threads came closer, it seemed like it stirred a hornet nest!
All of sudden the ball broke into a massive number of threads. They all moved and attacked my own, acting like wolves protecting their den or something.
At first I thought about sending more threads to control these. I also considered retreating behind for enough distance to be safer.
But I frowned when I saw what was going on here.
These threads in front of me devoured my thin ones and they started replacing it! I watched in amazement this phenomenon unfolding in front of me.
This didn’t take longer than five minutes. At the end, many of my thin threads got replaced with much thicker ones.
“Let me try it out then,” I cancelled my technique and then reformed it. I wanted to see if this change was something temporary or permanent.
And when my technique appeared again, I got my answer; it was permanent!
Damn! So this ore didn’t just explode, it absorbed my technique threads, evolved them, and returned them to me for use.
What kind of magic was that?!!
Just from this, the value of this purple ore skyrocketed!
“Wait a sec… She mentioned something about the black ore…” I paused when I realised there was a much fiercer one.
I grew itchy… I wanted to use it!
I got now how these ores work, or the purple one at least. It got energy from my technique, augmented it while releasing a fierce explosive power in return.
This power came from the grade of energy and technique used. Angelica used her own weak power to activate a skill. So the explosion turned out to be in such a weak state.
But mine? It was a fierce technique formed by my blue spiritual energy. It was much fiercer, and it was much higher in grade than any skill Angelica used.
At the same time, part of the explosion came from the process of augmenting my technique. This made it much fiercer than trying to augment a skill.
I got it now. And I got that if I used a higher technique, like the merged technique for example, this explosion might encompass half of the entire continent!
Damn! I went to check my chariot. “Taking one half of the entire energy reserve? Damn fierce!” it just happened for a few minutes, yet it brought damage that could take days or even weeks of constantly attacking my chariot.
