Chapter 230: The Aron Burner and The Three Unexpected Guests! (1/2)
With Pedro's lead, they all soon arrived on top of the northern walls of the Kingdom. That area was so high to the point that everyone was given a clear view by the chaotic battle occurring between the Kingdom soldiers and the monsters.
With Pedro's lead, they all soon arrived on top of the northern walls of the Kingdom. That area was so high to the point that everyone was given a clear view by the chaotic battle occurring between the Kingdom soldiers and the monsters.
A cold wind breeze passed through them—which had a strong metallic smell, that made Pedro close his eyes for a few seconds. Then, he took a deep sigh and said, ”Your soldiers looked tired, Duke Ersi! Allow me to give them a short break!”
”What do you mean—?” Duke Ersi could not help but frown in response. However, he was interrupted by a knife that flew out of Pedro's sleeve—consequently attracting the attention of everyone as it aimed at the monsters on the battlefield.
Duke Ersi together with the Kingdom Soldiers could only gasp in response as the Pen-knife weaved through the monsters—killing them one by one while sucking them dry of their blood. And only after almost a minute, the monsters being fought by the Kingdom Soldiers were annihilated, leaving the new wave of monsters for them to take care of.
However, because the monsters were even too many and too far for Pedro to accurately target, Pedro's pen-knife halted its advance and it started to fly back to Pedro. After a momentary relief caused by Pedro's help, the Kingdom Soldiers could only force out a smile and take a deep breath as they prepare their selves to face the next wave of monsters.
That said, at that moment, Pedro nodded towards Ragas and Clara—signaling that it was their turn to show their abilities. Ragas and Clara simply smirked in response. Ragas' fist tightened as his skin transformed into dark green spikey scales. While Clara took out a silver sword and held it up with her two hands, near her right shoulder like a knight.
In the next second, the two vanished into thin air as the next wave of monsters was killed. Half of them—to the left of Pedro, was blown by a strong force that consequently mashed everything into a paste. While the other half—to the right of Pedro, the next wave of monsters was sliced cleanly into half—horizontally.
The area that the attacks of Ragas and Clara had covered was around fifty meters wide and around a hundred meters to the north. The Kingdom Soldiers, even Duke Ersi's mouth went agape from what just happened.
That said, before they could utter another word, Pedro's pen-knife rotated back to where the dead monsters were located. The pen-knife casually sucked the blood of the dead monsters as Clara started picking up the dead bodies of the monsters.
On the other hand, the monsters seemed like they were infinite as several monsters started to appear right after the single-sided massacre. That said, Ragas simply walked around fifty meters away from where the Kingdom Soldiers were located on the battlefield.
Then, he took out a cylindrical 'trash can' looking item that they crafted. He planted it into the soil, leaving around 70% of its body above the ground.
Afterward, Ragas simply rushed back to Pedro and was followed by Clara. And when they returned, Pedro simply clapped his hands and said, ”Aron says… Stay hot!”
In the next second, a powerful magical energy wave was launched from the cylindrical trashcan-looking item. At the same time, the runic formation—that was cramped in a spiral manner on its perimeter, lit bright orange. Then, anything within a Fifty-meter radius of the trashcan-looking item was burned into ashes.
There was no flame thrower of some sort. And the burning was not instantaneous… Instead, there were visible heat waves—indicating that there was a sudden increase in heat in that area. The monsters that were charging towards them would just simply crash into the ground as they burned to their deaths.
Because of this, the Kingdom Soldiers could only take a step back out of fear of being burned like the monsters. On the other hand, Duke Ersi could only glance at Pedro out of awe and, at the same time, fear.
It's true that he got a piece of news about Pedro's residence and the Ore Ovens being constructed as per his request. However, Duke Ersi did not think that Pedro would be able to produce a weapon of this caliber.
In fact, Duke Ersi was thankful that they were on Pedro's good side. Else, he could not imagine what would have happened to the Kingdom if they were on his bad side.
At this moment, Pedro could only smirk in response and said, ”So… What do you think, Duke Ersi? This is my first product! The Aron Burner!”
”T-Terrifying!” The word unconsciously went out of Duke Ersi's mouth.
Pedro simply smiled in response. And only after a few seconds was Duke Ersi able to get back to himself. Duke Ersi said, ”Forgive me, Sir Aron! I can't deny it… Your product is truly terrifying! To be able to hold the monster wave easily… I wonder how long can its effect last?”
”I understand.” Pedro chuckled in response. ”As for the duration of its effect… As long as there is sufficient magical energy available within the area of effect's radius, then, the burning effect would continue unless deactivated.”
At this moment, Duke Ersi could not help but glance up into the Ball of Fire as if asking, 'Sufficient Magical Energy… Does that include the magical energy from the Ball of Fire?'
Pedro simply followed his gaze and smirked. Then, he said, ”If you are thinking about the magical energy from the Ball of Fire, then you are right! It is enough…”
