Chapter 197: Chainsaw Sword and Bolter
Standing at the entrance of the third floor of the ruins, the Warm Baby on Owen’s shoulder constantly scanned the surroundings. In fact, various scans had not stopped along the way, and a large amount of data had been collected, especially the text and architectural structure here, which made him not so unfamiliar with the ruins.
However, Owen has always lacked key information. After all, except for books made of bronze like the Monster Girl Cultivation Manual, ordinary books could not be preserved for a long time, so the text records that could be seen were actually very limited, mostly carved on buildings.
Thinking about what kind of carved text could be seen on the streets in his previous life, one could tell how Owen’s harvest was. So he still didn’t know the specific origin of this ruin.
However, Owen had a premonition that he could find everything he wanted to know on the third floor of the ruins.
Warm Baby projected the scanned building structure. Some areas were red, which were the load-bearing points. They must be avoided during the battle, otherwise there would be a risk of collapse if something went wrong.
Although it wasn’t a complete collapse, Owen didn’t want to experience the feeling of being buried dozens of meters underground, so he reminded his subordinates to remember these.
Then the projections showed the puppets and magic mechanisms responsible for guarding.
There were two types of puppets. One was similar to an Iron Golem, a very heavy metal block. However, because of its simple structure, even if it was rusty, it could be re-operated with simple maintenance. The other was a lizardman covered with metal armor.
These lizardmen were about two meters tall. Because their heads were large and their bodies leaned forward, they had thick tails to maintain their balance. Their limbs were relatively strong, their claws were very sharp, and these lizardmen had also undergone body modification. Eighty percent of their bodies were covered with a layer of metal armor, some limbs were directly replaced with mechanical arms, and some used magic equipment similar to firearms. At first glance, they were elite monsters.
These lizardmen were obviously not underground creatures. In fact, they were the original modified prototypes stored in the ruins, and they had been dormant in the form of eggs at the bottom of the pool in the Monster Breeding Center. They were densely packed and quite spectacular.
Fortunately, after a long period of time, not many could hatch.
In fact, if these lizardmen did not have a thin dragon bloodline, even if the pool water was magical, it would be impossible for them to survive for hundreds or thousands of years.
After the defense mechanism was triggered last time, these lizardman eggs, which had been dormant for an unknown amount of time, were hatched and carefully modified. Eighty percent of their bodies were covered with a layer of silvery metal of unknown texture. At first glance, they knew they had good defensive capabilities. And their fighting style was not just melee, because some lizardmen were still holding weapons similar to firearms.
After learning this information, the Limit Warriors, with a Bolter in one hand and a Chainsaw Sword in the other, marched forward silently. When they stepped into the warning area, the magic mechanism was activated.
The so-called magic mechanism was a mechanism that could release magic. Therefore, it was expensive and had a precise structure, so there were not many that could be preserved and still be used. Even if they were barely running, their power was greatly reduced. Limit Warriors wearing composite armor charged forward against the ice arrows and fireballs, using their Bolters to take out the remaining magic mechanisms one by one.
This place was relatively empty and the structure was very stable. As long as they didn’t deliberately attack the load-bearing points, there would be no problem. Therefore, the Limit Warriors brought the role of the Bolters in their hands to the extreme. The powerful explosive shells destroyed all the remaining magic mechanisms in a very short time.
Each explosive shell had the power of an anti-aircraft gun, or even stronger, because the black glue liquid filled inside had been crystallized after alchemical treatment, and it would completely burn in a very short time after hitting the target, causing the air to expand and generate a strong shock wave. At the same time, it would also release a terrifying high temperature that could easily melt steel and even cause a glassy layer to appear on the sand and gravel ground. How could the magic mechanism in a semi-scrapped state withstand an attack of this power? It was blown to pieces.
Owen, who was standing behind, was very satisfied with the power of the Bolter. If it weren’t for the fact that it couldn’t be mass-produced, he would dare to go shopping in the Empire now. Unfortunately, this thing involved the application of alchemy, and even Bryan hadn’t mastered it yet.
After taking out the magic mechanism, the Limit Warriors put away their Bolters. After all, the ammunition was limited, so they had to save it.
Putting away the Bolters, the Limit Warriors activated the Chainsaw Swords in their hands and rushed towards the modified lizardmen with a piercing roar.
The modified lizardmen moved very quickly. Those holding weapons similar to firearms were the first to attack. However, these weapons were obviously not swords, and they could be used as long as they were preserved. Therefore, not many could actually be used, and the energy bullets fired were of different sizes. Some of them dispersed halfway, and in the end they could only rush up for close combat.
The Limit Warrior expressionlessly slashed at his opponent. The Chainsaw Sword roared and tore through the metal armor on the lizardman’s body, followed by flesh, bones, and tendons. One could see that the blood plasma brought out by the chainsaw spurted two or three meters away, which showed how high the rotation speed was. In the blink of an eye, it literally sawed the lizardman in half. The process was very cruel.
Actually, Owen hesitated whether to make a Chainsaw Sword at the beginning because he thought this thing was very impractical, far less neat than traditional cold weapons. But for some reason, he still overcame many difficulties and finally made a Chainsaw Sword.
Because it didn’t need to rely on the whole to cut, the main body of the Chainsaw Sword was made as strong as possible to withstand collisions. And because the chainsaw was divided into pieces, some high-strength but low-toughness materials could be used. Finally, a terrifying weapon that was sharp enough to make one’s hair stand on end for flesh and blood was created. It really cut flesh and blood like tofu, and the wound couldn’t be sutured at all, provided that there was still a need for suturing after being hit by a Chainsaw Sword.
Facing hard objects such as metal, although the Chainsaw Sword was easy to damage the saw blade, it was still no problem to support a battle. It was also easy to replace afterwards. After all, the sawtooth was a structure similar to a chain, and replacement was no more difficult than changing a chain. The most important thing was that he didn’t need to do it himself, so Owen asked Flame Empress to produce a batch.
After turning all the modified lizardmen into pieces, the puppets similar to Iron Golems just arrived.
The Limit Warriors also knew that the Chainsaw Swords in their hands were not suitable for cutting this kind of thing, so they directly dismantled all these puppets that swayed when they walked. It wasn’t difficult for them with their strength.
Owen asked Warm Baby to fly over and scan it. After looking at the data, he found that the technical content of this thing was not high, not even as good as the Iron Golem of the Academy faction. The only valuable thing was the device inside, similar to a radio transmission and reception device, which allowed these puppets to remotely receive the magic power output by the ruins as their own power.
This thing was very suitable for Flame Empress to use, because now the industrial area of the Underground City, whether it was machinery or puppets, mostly used cheap but unstable steam power, and only a small number of precision instruments used electricity provided by steam generators.
If Flame Empress could master the remote transmission of magic power, it would have a huge role in promoting the development of the Underground City industrial area, so Owen asked Warm Baby to upload the data.
