Chapter 1025: 319. Knowing It Beforehand_2

These measures include, but are not limited to, forcibly taking wizards who appear near the Pollution Zone under the pretext of “investigating the truth behind the appearance of the Pollution Zone.”

When Noland Lee read this passage, he sneered inwardly, already accustomed to the actions of the Pure Light Court.

In fact, without needing a reminder from Professor Erica, he would leave after a brief reconnaissance of the “Bustling Tunnel.”

He wasn’t the kind of brute who would expose his own tricks just for some spoils of war.

“Sir, the scout mechanos is in position,” Nolin sent through a mental message.

Noland Lee cast “Mind View” and turned his attention to the mechanos stationed outside the Pollution Zone.

Looking at the Pollution Zone from the vantage point of that mechanos, the sight was utterly deplorable.

Howling winds swept past the mechanos, kicking up dust and obscuring visibility.

The grey blood vessels, built from flesh, were sticky and slimy, their surfaces reflecting a polluted sheen.

Their interiors were spacious and dimly lit, filled with an eerie and filthy aura.

The festering sores on the exterior of the blood vessels spat the hustle of the wind and corrosive mucus, making the surrounding air even murkier.

Noland Lee observed carefully for a moment.

Apart from the cosmic noise that’s a staple of the Pollution Zone and the howling from the “Bustling Tunnel,” it seemed that this Pollution Zone wouldn’t cause any harm to the outside world.

“Enter, Nolin,” Noland Lee said.

“Yes, Sir.”

Nolin maneuvered the mechanos to fly into the mouth of a grey blood vessel.

This mechanos relied on the “Floating Formation” and “Airflow Formation” for aerial movement.

In the moment its figure disappeared into the blood vessel, Nolin uttered a low cry, and Noland Lee received a system message.

“Ah, there it is, the mechanos has lost contact.” There was no hint of pain in Nolin’s voice, indicating that the disconnection hadn’t harmed her.

Noland Lee looked at the system text in his mind.

[Attention!]

[Your ‘Scout Mechanos (Number 1344)’ has been attacked by the ‘Bustling Tunnel’!]

[The ‘Rotting Howl’ dealt a fatal blow to the mechanos.]

[Your mechanos has been completely scrapped.]

‘Rotting Howl’?

Noland Lee raised an eyebrow and spent Energy Points to activate Deconstruction.

…

[Name]Rotting Howl

[Type]Mysterious Side Extraordinary Ability

[Level]Unable to predict at this time

[Effect]

A judgment related to “Attribute Values” is initiated on the target.

If the sum of the target’s “Attribute Values” is less than 400 points, the judgment fails, and “Rotting Sores” will be forcefully applied to the target.

[Explanation]

Mysterious side extraordinary abilities often disregard the target’s lifeform and structure.

Even Alchemy Creations made of metal like mechanos can be affected by “Rotting Sores.”

…

Noland Lee targeted the entry for “Rotting Sores” and initiated a new Deconstruction.
