Chapter 793: Mana Cannon

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Abel kept thinking about how he made the materials. He carefully examined each step, trying to figure out how he ended up with this high-rank golden material. Only Grandmaster Alchemist could make a master rank golden material, and there was not a single Grandmaster Alchemist in the Holy Continent.

There was only one master alchemist, and that was Abel, so a Grandmaster was impossible.

After rounds of comparison, he was sure that nothing strange happened during the process. The only difference was the aftermath of mumbling the ‘quality increase’ spell. Maybe the god-like feeling he felt in the Rogue Encampment had altered his quality increase.

It was too bad Abel no longer has any more materials for another metallurgy experiment.

This made him realize a problem. Even though he was a Master alchemist in metallurgy, all the materials for metallurgy were controlled by the dwarfs. If he didn’t work with the dwarfs, maybe there was nothing he could do.

Luckily his relationship with the dwarfs was quite good. If he needed anything, he could ask.

The 3 meters long metallurgical material stabilized mid-air by his control force and was slowly softened by the ground fire. He slowly used his control force again to shape it into the shape of a mana cannon.

After everything was complete, Abel’s power of the will felt a little drained. He had assistance from the world stone and that god-like feeling in the Rogue Encampment, but he would still need to use his own energy to sustain that god-like ability.

He didn’t have much power of the will left after he formed the mana cannon’s body.

Abel placed the body of the cannon on the ground and took out the Horadric Tent. Afterward, he slept a full night to recover his power of the will.

The following task was to etch magic runes on the mana cannon. Abel was not a magic circle maker, but he was skilled at etching. He was 100 percent confident that he could perfectly etch out the runes.

When he took out the carving knife, he realized why golden rank material couldn’t be used in weapons. Although a rune could be drawn on it, its surface was very fragile.

Abel bought this carving knife back when he was an apprentice wizard. It was made with natural compound iron. It was very sharp, but it could not etch on anything harder than it, like steel.

He could easily carve on this 3 meters long cannon, which showed how soft its material was. If this material were made into weapons, it would fall apart in one strike.

Abel also realized why the mana cannon would be damaged after one use. The purpose of this precious material was to gather all the energy of a mana gem and blast it out at once.

Afterward, the purpose of the cannon body was fulfilled. It would probably turn into little pieces in the blast.

The reason for this design was to avoid the pieces of the cannon body flying everywhere in the blast, as it’s soft nature would probably be absorbed by force.

The etching process was easy for Abel. With his power of the will recovered, he could easily stabilize the cannon body in mid-air. Just like that, runes came to life on the cannon body one by one.

Although there was no energy on the runes etched on to the cannon body, there was a slight shift in energy in the Rogue Encampment’s mana environment.

This slight shift did not escape Abel’s senses from his power of the will. He let on a long sigh. He was not a magic circle maker, after all. Out of all the steps of making a mana cannon, he had the least amount of confidence about what he would do.

Luckily his etching skills and his sight and data analyzing ability allowed him to reach perfection with each etch.

Soon, the shell and stand off the mana cannon was created. After Abel put everything together, he looked at the fearsome weapon in front of him.

Even without a mana gem inside, he could sense horror coming through it.

Abel didn’t know, but there was a giant circle giving out a powerful scent on the cannon’s body. Mana cannons were very rare, even in ancient times. As long as the scent of a mana cannon was shown to your enemy, they would consider their actions again.

However, Abel knew this wasn’t too much of a good thing. With such a strong scent, his enemies would be able to spot him from far away.

“It is a shame I can only use this once!” Abel put the mana cannon in his Kong Kong spirit portal bag and thought to himself.

Sacrificing so much golden master rank material for one weapon was like killing your enemies to death with gold coins. The only thing was that this material was more valuable than all gold coins in the world.

Abel only had one portion of the materials. If he had more, he really wanted to test out the power of the mana cannon.

According to the description on dark grey stone, the mana cannon had an unstoppable force. But how powerful was it? The commander spirit also couldn’t help him. It only had some simple description of the cannon.

It had to be quite scary since it was banned from ancient times.

Using this mana cannon was not the only reason why Abel had created the mana cannon anyway; he also wanted to take it as a test for his metallurgy skills.

Upon his success, his confidence in making large metallurgical materials grew tremendously.

Abel had only dwelled in the Rogue Encampment for 2 days, but he already felt the illusion that he was an actual god. Especially after he left the Rogue Encampment and returned to his life as a normal human, the difference he felt was like night and day.

This was why he had carefully regulated his time in the Rogue Encampment. That god-like feeling was a thrill, but it didn’t belong to him. It might create some psychological problems for him.

He then arrived at his hotel at Lut Gholein and rested for a full day to regain himself. It was best if he stayed less than a day in the Rogue Encampment; any more than that would affect his spirituality.

On the fourth day, he teleported to the lost city through the little teleportation circle. After that, he just needed to move in a flash, and he was at the Claw Viper Temple.

The Claw Viper Temple was called a temple, but it was more like a graveyard. The whole thing was underground.

Before entering the temple, Abel summoned the 8 spirit guardian knights, the mud monster, and added a broken ice armor and combat qi armor on himself.

After almost dying last time, Abel had become a lot more cautious. Since he could summon his powerful contracted beasts such as Johnson and Flying Flame in these underground tunnels, he could only kill those hell creatures with his own ability.

All of those hell creatures had their own attribute attacks, so the danger was quite serious.

As soon as they entered the Claw Viper temple, he noticed the shadow of many bone warriors flickering under the eternal flame of hell. Abel immediately knew there was a guardian here. A type of hell created that could endlessly revive bone warriors.

These bone warriors were the summons of that guardian. Abel expanded his power of will and spotted the guardian hiding in a dark corner. A spirit guardian knight flashed next to it.

When the spirit guardian knight was about to attack, a claw viper suddenly dashed out from the dark towards the spirit guardian knight like a charging knight.

That claw viper was too quick. It landed on the spirit guardian knight before it could even react, knocking it back for 5 steps.

“Knockback” was a special ability of claw vipers. It would come into effect as soon as you were touched by it.

Luckily claw vipers could not use elemental attacks. They could only make cloud body attacks, so Abel could stand behind the spirit guardian knights and the mud monster while unleashing his ‘Firewall’ without worrying too much.
