Chapter 110: Roar of Inferno - Hand Cannon! A Failure
Infernal Fire Corner.
On the steps of the odd item shop, the succubus Veronica, who had obviously dressed up carefully, was welcoming Sean's visit. She was wearing a very charming light purple long skirt today. The style was a bit like modern clothing, outlining the soft curve of her slender waist, and tightening at the lower abdomen to reveal a seductive inverted triangle outline. The skirt seemed to have been modified by the succubus. The hem of the skirt was split like a cheongsam, which was a bit revealing and tempting, and a pair of slender white thighs were faintly visible.
"Master Xiao En."
Veronica stood up to greet him with a smile and said in a soft voice, "We have found what you want."
Sean's outfit today is more medieval.
He wore an exquisite dark blue robe with strange cloud patterns on both sides and silver runes on the cuffs. The overall style was more like an elf. There were many hidden pockets on the inner cuffs of the robe, which could be used to store some special spellcasting materials. A deerskin belt tightened his waist, revealing his slender and strong body. Because of the long-term high-intensity combat, Xiao En's physical fitness improved sharply. Although he could not match the warrior path, he was still far better than ordinary people.
The only flaw was that his hair was a little messy, because he trimmed it himself. It was troublesome to have long hair, and there was no decent barber shop in Abyss City.
Adventurers all have a rough style, and if their hair is too long, they just cut it short with a knife.
Xiao En nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the towering white breasts on the succubus's chest. The deep ravine was extremely eye-catching, and it could be said to be very fruitful, far surpassing those of other people he had seen before.
"How does the succubus stay at the E+ level without affecting its combat power?"
“This is a topic that deserves further study.”
It is well known that the bigger the fruit, the easier it is to affect one's actions and combat. Night Watchmen rarely have fruits of this level. Female Night Watchmen even bind their chests or use other means to make the fruit smaller. But succubi are a little different. They obviously prefer agile fighting style, but they still pursue greater ferocity. Such a large ferocity is very troublesome to dodge or jump, and it is easy to put oneself in danger. It can only be said that succubi have unique fighting skills.
Sean entered the VIP room of Inferno Corner.
soon.
A tall figure walked in. She had skin as dark as jade. She glanced at Xiao En with her blood-red eyes and asked in a concentrated voice, "Is that him?"
In front of Xiao En was a tall dark elf with a very beautiful appearance. Because this path of promotion would enhance her appearance and inherit the seductive style of the dark elves, her limbs were slender but strong. She should also be on the rogue path, similar to the original mistress. Elves could easily meet the requirements of extraordinary agility, and their innate profession was rogue.
Succubus Veronica used her eyes to remind the other party to remain humble, but the arrogance of the dark elf seemed to have been implanted in the spirit of this extraordinary being, and she looked very proud.
The dark elf still tried to talk to Xiao En in an equal manner. Facing a distinguished spellcaster, she remained proud and said in a serious tone: "My name is Akdina Duer."
"Give us 3,500 soul stones and we'll take you to find that monster!"
"Its spoils are yours, and the rest are ours."
Sean stared at the dark elf in front of him, and glanced at Veronica next to him. The succubus nodded casually, meaning that the price was reasonable.
So, he nodded calmly and said, "Okay, deal."
After reaching the cooperation, the dark elf seemed to be relieved. Her initial arrogance disappeared, and she even seemed a little guilty. She looked up at Sean, straightened her chest, and tried to act more sophisticated.
It seemed that she was a little afraid that Xiao En would use his status to lower the price, so she looked like a proud elf, as if he didn't want it, others would offer a high price. After the deal was reached, her attitude immediately softened.
It may also be that he feels embarrassed to take the money, and he is reluctant to give.
As if she had thought of something, she lowered her head slightly and said, "Pay half of the deposit first, and pay the rest when you come back."
She must be short of money.
Sean felt that this dark elf was on the verge of promotion and might need to prepare materials for the promotion ceremony.
"can."
Sean gestured to Veronica beside him, and the succubus smiled and took out a small dimensional bag filled with soul stones.
After getting the money, the dark elf's attitude softened even more.
She even took the initiative to stand beside Xiao En, as if she was guarding her employer diligently.
When the group walked out, there was a short dwarf standing at the door. He looked about the same height as a boy in his teens. He was a dwarf illusionist. Most of the extraordinary people who transformed their racial templates would choose the promotion direction that best suits their race.
"Have you got the money?" a loud voice rang out.
At the gate of Purgatory Fire Corner, a short and sturdy figure like a tree stump appeared. He was wearing heavy armor, holding a war hammer, with throwing axes hanging on both sides of his waist and a heavy shield behind him. He was a very traditional gray dwarf warrior.
Warrior, Mage, and Thief, a standard three-person adventurer team, the template of the iron triangle.
Akdina-Du'er nodded casually, and signaled to the gray dwarf with her eyes to be careful with her words, as the identity of the employer in front of her was very different.
Succubus Veronica took the initiative to step forward and said softly, "Master Xiao En."
"After all, I was the one who introduced you this time, so I'll go along too."
"Maybe I can help."
Xiao En thought about it and nodded, "Okay. Let's go together."
Succubus Veronica smiled upon hearing this, and was so charming that the gray dwarf next to her stared at him. He stood on tiptoe to see how ferocious the succubus was, but he was too short and could not see anything.
She turned back to the house and changed into a slightly glamorous red light armor robe, holding a purgatory staff, and quickly walked out.
At this time, the dwarf illusionist at the side said in a shrill voice: "There are too many people."
"My teleportation spell can't reach it."
Xiao En turned his head and looked at him, then said calmly, "No need to bother. Give me the teleportation beacon."
The dwarf looked a little distrustful and asked in confusion, "You haven't been there, so how can you teleport?"
Generally speaking, the accuracy of the teleportation spell should be high, and it is best to go to a place you have been to before, or a place that you can describe and understand in detail.
Xiao En glanced at the dwarf and said calmly: "As long as the calculation is accurate, there will be no problem."
"Unless the teleportation beacon you provided is not accurate enough."
The dwarf obviously didn't like being questioned. He looked at his companion, then carefully handed the teleportation beacon to Sean.
It was a unique arcane mark that recorded the information of the teleportation point.
"Knowledge."
"Analyze the transmission beacon." Xiao En said silently in his heart.
The mysterious knowledge in the brain began to work, the entire secret mark was decomposed, a large amount of information was calculated, and finally formed a signpost mark that looked like a mathematical model.
Specifically, it should be about the position on the planet, the dimension, the level, the coordinates, etc.
Teleporting in outer space requires a more complex teleportation beacon.
——Teleportation (fifth-ring spell)!
This spell is standard for mages and warlocks, but can also be accessed through the power of the Travel domain.
next second.
The group appeared directly at a location that was suspected to be a crater. There were signs of a camp here, which should be where they had stayed.
"It's far from Abyss City."
The limit of teleportation is about 200 kilometers per level, and Xiao En can currently teleport up to 3000 kilometers.
Interstellar travel is temporarily unavailable.
This spell also cannot teleport across planes.
Xiao En glanced around. This was an island, but it was not far from the inland. The volcano had erupted recently. There was violent fire elemental energy underground. No evil aura was sensed nearby, probably because the island was relatively small.
The dwarf's expression was extremely shocked. He stared at Xiao En in front of him and muttered, "He was really teleported here!?"
He had never seen anyone in the past who could rely solely on a teleportation beacon to directly select a place he had never been to, and teleport precisely with an error of no more than ten centimeters, which was more accurate than casting the spell himself.
The indigenous people’s understanding of teleportation is – very familiar, very familiar, go there often, pass by occasionally, go there only once.
This familiarity directly affects the accuracy of teleportation.
Now Xiao En thought this way of casting spells was simply a joke. The arcanist only needed extremely precise calculations to cast teleportation. The error of eight centimeters he had this time was already considered a failure.
After all, it's a place I've never been to before, so I'm a little unfamiliar with the place.
All things are unified.
This is Eastern philosophy.
The dark elves and gray dwarves on the side looked at each other, obviously shocked. They had suffered a lot in the past when being teleported by the dwarves, so they were quite knowledgeable.
"I'll explore the way."
Akdina-Du'er hid in the shadows and disappeared quickly, but Xiao En could see her position. In his spiritual vision, she was a dark shadow. Advanced wanderers could become invisible in the shadows. The gray dwarf raised his shield and walked in front of the team. The illusionist began to cast spells. They cooperated well and must be veterans.
They are able to explore a place so far away from Abyss City, so their strength is quite good.
Succubus-Veronica took off her exquisite belt and turned it into a living whip. She is an advanced succubus mage who possesses both the fighting power of a demon and the spellcasting ability of a warlock.
Xiao En was protected in the middle of the team, but in fact he was the strongest one.
But he is the employer, so Party A always gets preferential treatment.
There are volcanic rocks everywhere, signs of elemental life activity, and in the distance is a lush black forest, provided with nutrients by volcanic eruptions.
"There's a magma mud monster ahead, an elemental life form."
A faint female voice sounded.
The influence of the Old Ones on elemental life is relatively small, it just makes them manic and aggressive, but these elemental creatures without intelligence are not so affected by the madness.
The gray dwarf defender took a deep breath, took out a bottle of potion and drank it, which should be an alchemical potion that enhances fire resistance.
Xiao En basically doesn't need to worry about the following battle.
He saw several soft-bodied creatures that looked like flowing magma. The gray dwarves screamed in pain from the burns while bashing with their shields and chopping with their battle axes. The dark elf leaped in the shadows and quickly retreated after a hit. Her weapon was enchanted with cold properties.
“This feels a bit like playing a fantasy adventure game in my previous life.”
Xiao En felt that the style was right, this was the flavor.
The battle ended quickly.
The spoils are the core of elemental life, and according to the agreement they belong to the adventure team, while the dwarf illusionist is responsible for harvesting them.
But the accident happened quickly.
There is actually life here, because the reconnaissance magic eye that Sean secretly sent out has found the target. It is the winged ape-man, a non-human intelligent species that has been completely distorted by the laws of madness. Its four thick arms are highly deformed, and the laws of flesh and blood are integrated with the elements. The skin is overflowing with blood like flowing magma, and its body is constantly festering and healing, and the proliferating flesh and blood pustules are like wriggling tiny tentacles.
This is a sign of flesh and blood going out of control. This kind of monster will not die of old age normally. Instead, it will explode into a pool of minced meat after losing control, and other monsters of the same kind will share its extraordinary essence.
In this way, the Winged Ape keeps its transcendental essence from being lost.
"It's the Winged Ape!"
The dark elves reacted quickly and noticed the vibration in front. The gray dwarves had extremely solemn expressions. These guys were extremely powerful and ferocious.
It seems that they have some trouble facing this monster.
Xiao En pondered for a moment, then took out a heavy hand cannon and handed it to the gray dwarf warrior with his invisible hand, saying, "Use this!"
We haven’t seen the real culprit yet, so don’t let any casualties occur.
The gray dwarf looked at the heavy hand cannon in front of him, his expression was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously reached out to take it and said: "Firearm? Is it useful?"
He had handled guns before, but pistols were too soft and weak.
Ammunition supply is also troublesome.
Xiao En raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you try it and know?"
Just give it a try!
The gray dwarf raised his shield, held the heavy hand cannon in one hand, and aimed at the deformed winged gorilla attacking from the front. The extraordinary people of the warrior path have strong physical fitness and it is easy for them to master all weapons. They do not need much training to have a high hit rate.
boom!
A dull gunshot rang out, and a rune shell with a flashing metallic luster was ejected. The winged gorilla that was nearly three meters tall not far away didn't even have time to let out a scream. Its head exploded instantly, like a bursting watermelon, and the headless corpse fell to the ground with a bang.
"hiss!"
The gray dwarf himself trembled. The power was too amazing. He was afraid that he could not withstand it. Maybe he could only block a few attacks with a full set of magic items.
The power shocked everyone nearby, including the succubus-Veronica.
But the succubus became excited the next second, and looked at Xiao En with her enchanting eyes, her watery eyes full of eagerness. She had smelled a huge business opportunity, and the excitement made her tremble slightly and moisten her skin.
This is where the bolter fails.
Xiao En now understood why the Alchemist Demigod considered the antimatter rifle a failure, because this hand cannon called "Purgatory Roar" was a failure.
It's a single shot!
For a weapon that is intended to be used as a standard in conventional interstellar warfare, a single shot is already an unacceptable and huge flaw.
“Materials science must be upgraded.”
"Otherwise, we can't support the research of rapid-fire weapons."
On the battlefield.
The gray dwarf was changing the ammunition in a hurry, showing great unskillfulness. The recoil of this hand cannon was very strong and could injure an ordinary person's arm, but the warrior didn't feel it at all. After he changed the bullets, he hit again with a bang, but did not hit the head, but the enemy's torso.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The deformed winged gorilla in front was blown away, with half of its body and both arms shattered.
The gray dwarf was not in a hurry. He killed the target with a flying axe and cracked the skull, appearing to be very skilled in combat.
not far away.
The gray dwarf warrior turned around excitedly, raised the "Purgatory Roar" hand cannon in his hand towards Xiao En, and shouted: "This thing is really useful!"
With that, he changed the magazine and lifted the heavy shield.
A fierce shield strike.
boom!
The shot was fired at close range, and a bloody hole with a diameter of 20 centimeters was directly blasted on the chest of the deformed monster.
He adapted very quickly, and his warrior path fighting instincts were extremely powerful!
That is to say, the warrior path can shorten the shooting distance to such a short distance. After all, their physical fitness is too strong. Other extraordinary paths are very difficult. The deformed monsters all have extraordinary power and can smash you into meat paste in one go.
"Look."
"After getting used to hot weapons, who would still like cold weapons?"
"Warrior, don't you like it?"
"There's no choice!"
"Of course, cold weapons such as plasma lightsabers, power chainsaws, power axes, etc. are excluded."
Low-power firearms are indeed not as powerful as the warriors themselves, but the hand cannon using alchemical bullets is different.
Xiao En does not have the energy or conditions to study power-related cold weapons for the time being, but he has some ideas and has recently been studying the application of "anti-gravity runes."
The battle ended quickly.
The crater area was ahead, and Xiao En detected his target from a distance.
——Blood Polluter! [Secondary Elemental Lord]
A very special and rare monster. Within a radius of fifty meters, all fire elemental life is strengthened, and all creatures gain the super-magic ability of "spell enhancement" of the fire system.
This is a super-magic realm of group 'spell enhancement'.
The next step for Xiao En to study is the laws of super-magic abilities. If spells can be researched and developed independently, then is the same possible for super-magic abilities?
Spell power, spell maximum effect, spell instant cast, etc.
According to Xiao En's current understanding, spells are missiles, and super magic abilities are the rocket's secondary propulsion units. Without changing the spell model, super magic abilities can further enhance the spell effects through secondary propulsion.
Psionic spells can grant multiple metamagic abilities at the same time, which is a multi-stage rocket booster.
This is his current idea, and the details will depend on the follow-up research work after obtaining the extraordinary relics.
Super magic ability is definitely not that simple. The effects of different super magic abilities are different, but each super magic ability can be added to other different spells.
So according to Sean's understanding, the original model of super magic ability should exist independently, as a general template to drive other spell models.
"Using different methods to strengthen the driving spell model, this is the operating mode of metamagic ability."
Xiao En's current research work has just begun.
The future he wants needs to be achieved step by step, and no one can influence him.
