Chapter 793: Chapter 793 – Mana Cannon

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 .
