Chapter 514 - Surprise Attack (III) (1/2)

Translator: GravityTales

Light Bomb was totally unlaunchable through the magic cannons because it would immediately produce a violent explosion even before being shot, or just after coming out. This couldn’t threaten the enemies in the slightest, and became instead a self-damaging weapon.

But during their tests, the Knight Temple’s researchers found out to their great surprise about a good benefit of the Light Bombs. That was their ability to superimpose their effects. After identical Light Bombs explode, the effects of the additional ones will add up, and the continuous increase of power could go up several-fold.

This discovery immediately brought great joy to them, and resurrected the researches on the Light Bombs that was close to being abandoned.

After spending a long time experimenting and researching, they finally discovered that the effects of the superpositions were the greatest when the power of the Light Bomb was unleashed through a power equivalent to that of light magic of the fourth step. Unfortunately, it could still not be launched through Magic Cannons, and could only be thrown by hand. It further required a light user to set the light essence aflame after the throw to produce that superimposed blasting power.

After its creation, this item was very rapidly criticized, because in the battlefield, going through this process of superposition was just too difficult.

A Light Bomb reaching only the fourth step, when fired, would immediately be stopped by the enemy. Where could there be any chance to complete superposition in such circumstances? One could say that in a situation of direct clashing on the battlefield, accumulating Light Bombs until reaching the forbidden spell level was almost impossible.

Furthermore, don’t jump to conclusions just because Light Bombs only display the might of spells of the fourth step: their cost of fabrication is extremely high, not only requiring the hand of a great expert, but also mythril, as well as many other kinds of precious metals that can be welded together with magical crystals of the light element, making for a very high total cost.

Therefore, this experiment was a success, but in the end, very few Light Bombs were made. Rare metals were still manageable, and could always be found, but the light element crystals were really hard to find, and having the knights hunt the magical beasts gathered in the Knights’ Saint Mountain was no solution.

Therefore, in the Knight Temple’s treasure, there were only a few hundred of these and no more, and they weren’t really used after being invented.

But since they used up so much energy to make these things, the Knight Temple naturally considered a situation where they could display the greatest power. And that situation was a sneak attack. Only when ambushing the enemy could the superposition ability of these Light Bombs be exploited fully. And the surprise attack that took place today was the first stage for the Light Bombs in history.

For the sake of this surprise attack, the Knight Temple made an extremely detailed plan that would have its best effect the first time it was used. Hence, Long Tianying gave the final decision to take out all these things they had in store.

Launching three series of attacks was in the plans, and the segmentation of the attacks was also planned ahead, for the sake of avoiding the situation where those seven demon gods would disperse, as well as to guarantee that everyone that participated in this raid would be able to escape unscathed.

In fact, those participating in this raid were all at least Mythril Foundation Knights! And their leaders like Long Haochen or He Jun were even more powerful. These were absolutely not forces that the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass could afford to lose.

The first wave of attack was undoubtedly the most dangerous, because they were very likely to be chased by the demon gods, which is why the Holy Knight He Jun took command of it. Long Haochen’s group was assigned to the last wave to better ensure their safety. In this situation, how could Long Haochen not understand his grandfather’s share of troubles? Although he didn’t truly agree with him totally in his heart, he had to obey his order as a soldier in this battle.

Over fifty figures shot up, flying at rapid speed by using their spiritual wings. Long Haochen deliberately remained last, and summoned Star King while watching the situation in the rear attentively.

This whole surprise attack went close to perfectly, aside from the first forbidden spell that got restricted by the seven demon gods. The other two spread out all around, and their damage didn’t limit itself to destroying the Demon Emperor Legions, wiping out at least half of all the affiliated Hell Demons.

This was the terror of forbidden spells. In front of such a surprise attack composed of forbidden spells, the Hell Demons, most of whom reached the sixth step in strength, didn’t have much ability to resist. Even the defensive demons such as Demonic Bears could only lose their lives in front of such a powerful attack, to say nothing of the physically weak Hell Demons.
