Chapter 214: Prepare the Escape Path (2/2)
”Grand Master Alchemist! You have opened my eyes! What alchemy weapons are these? They look different from the alchemy weapons you said you would create!”
”It is different. I made a slightly stronger one. This isn't a Paralyzing Gas Bomb, and the other isn't a De-Magic Fog Bomb. The first is a Nerve Numbing Paralysis bomb, and the other is a Drain Magic Fog.”
The silent room became noisy. But it was because most alchemists were asking each other what those two bombs were.
Only Master Alchemist Crooked Bite had a frozen expression.
Commander Komodo frowned and approached Crooked Bite.
”What are those?”
”The Nerve Numbing Paralysis Bomb is much stronger than a Paralyzing Gas Bomb! It can paralyze Champions!”
”What?!”
”And the other bomb is much more powerful and useful! The Drain Magic Fog is not just a defensive bomb that is deployed. This fog absorbs magic energies! If deployed on the battlefield against mages, it will rob the mages of magic, and it will be all contained in the bomb! That Drain Magic Fog can then become an explosive weapon or a supportive magic-recovering tool!”
”I guess it's about time for me to reveal myself. I am not just an ordinary slave. I am the son of a king.” Kyros began.
”But my kingdom fell, and although I escaped, I was forced to throw myself in here. But who would have thought that my enemies would be here? And so I hid my identity and pretended to be some weak slave. Luckily, I met Gojirrah. This is the truth of my identity and how I have such knowledge as an alchemist. But enough about my past. All that I care about now is the future! I am crafting these things for free, for my revenge! Gojirrah and I found out that Golem City speaks of things that are enough to kill you all. But I will help you as long as you promise to kill my enemies, the humans in that city, and not mistreat me here. I want to be treated in equal standing to Commanders.” Kyros boldly declared.
The Captains and Champions were shocked.
”It shall be as you say.” Without hesitating Commander Komodo Dragon spoke.
”But only if you make a Soul Binding Vow to serve our race.”
”Of course. I will gladly do so. But before you do that, I have enough energy to create two more alchemy weapons. But to do that, I would need a much stronger Force user. As you can see, this Champion lost her bearing.”
”I... Did... not!”
”Just drink the Force Restoring potion already! You look like you're about to collapse!”
[Taunt activated.]
”I can... go another round and create another bomb!” Champion Reptilia was so angry that she forcibly stood up.
”Champion Reptilia. I wish to help him and experience the process of creating such weapon up front.” Commander Komodo Dragon walked up ahead.
”Give me this honor,” Komodo asked.
Although he wasn't respectful like how others would talk to Reptilia, Komodo was careful not to say anything rude to enrage Reptilia.
”Oh. so even this Commander likes her...” Kyros observed.
”... If Commander wishes...” Reptilia slowly walked back. Some of the nearby soldiers offered Force-recovering potions, but then...
WHACK!
Reptilia's tail smashed on these folk as she stood and watched.
Kyros ignored her and was busy talking with Komodo.
”Are you sure, Commander? This next item is quite taxing.” Kyros warned.
”I can manage.” Komodo smiled.
”The alchemy weapon that we will use could turn warriors into weak men. This is a Force Inhibiting Poison bomb.”
”Grand Master! You can make that alchemy weapon?!” Master Alchemist Crooked Bite exclaimed.
Kyros nodded but turned to Komodo.
”The process of creating this is quite dangerous. You must focus all your attention to create a powerful Force of energy that covers the entire cauldron so that the poison won't leak. The glass crystal cannot contain this poison alone! The poison has properties that can seep and pass through almost anything. You cannot divert your attention. Otherwise, this bomb will explode and harm all of us.”
”Understood. You can be at ease, Grand Master Alchemist. Even if it drains every bit of my force, I will contain that bomb!” Komodo declared.
Kyros gave Komodo a respectable smile and turned to Operating Table.
”Gojirrah. Get ready.” Kyros secretly communicated.
”Prepare our escape path. Once I drain the Force out of this Commander, I'll deploy all the bombs. And then, we can begin our escape.” Kyros snickered as he spoke to Gojirrah through their link.
