Chapter 779: Kraft’s New Toys
The Dragonlites saw the destruction of the only intruder who hadn’t jumped down the giant hole, and they were already starting to cast spells or used crossbow weapons against him. However, before they could even touch the trigger, their hands were cut off and suddenly their wings too.
They howled and screamed in horror as they fell to their deaths. Only a few managed to glimpse what had happened to their comrades before meeting the same fate as them. Kraft had released boomerangs of sorts that were all controlled by him with a little bit of chi manipulation.
The mini boomerangs’ edges were sharpened to the point they could easily cut iron and steel with some chi enhancement. Yet that was not all, Kraft recalled all of them back as they combined into one large boomerang by itself.
“Phew! If I gave this kind of weapons to my Dark Elves… they would be unstoppable!” Kraft thought to himself as he looked up to see if any remaining Dragonlites were hovering in the skies. But not long after, he could already hear the sirens from afar.
“Gotta hand it to them, the response team is fast.” Kraft praised them internally as he casually opened his laptop and accessed the cameras he had previously placed on top of the roof they were on.
“Five…Ten… damn that must be the whole city… I feel honoured! All of them rushing here to their own demise. But, oh ho ho! To use Raptor Demons to pull the police carriages. Maybe I should kill them for my Dark Elves as mounts.” Kraft thought to himself, and eventually, the System had to interrupt.
“Original Bellator Kraft, please stay focused on the mission.” The System demanded, and Kraft closed his laptop, returning it into his storage ring.

“What are you talking about? I am more focused than ever!” Kraft grinned as he exchanged the human-sized boomerang with another weapon he was here to test.
“System’s analysis is that Original Bellator Kraft is taking this opportunity to experiment with his new weapons and prioritising finding ancillary support for his Night Foxes rather than focusing on obtaining the keys.”
The System pointed out blatantly, and Kraft shrugged his shoulders.
“Yeah, that’s called multi-tasking. You know, killing two birds with a stone.” Kraft argued as he suddenly stopped on his tracks. “Huh, speaking about killing two birds with a stone… I think I have just the right thing to welcome those hard-working policemen.”
Kraft returned the weapon he had taken out just now and ravaged through his storage ring for the new one that he thought of.
“Ah! There you are.” Kraft triumphantly held the weapon above his head and walked to the main gate of the prison where he could hear the shoutings from the Demon Police to get the heck out of the way.
“Honestly, this weapon suits Sandy way more than my Night Foxes. Next time I visit her, I should ask for her opinion on how to further improve this. But first, let’s see how many birds I can kill with this little thing.” Kraft chuckled as he took out what literally looked to be a stone that he tossed around lightly with his hand.
“Can’t believe those peeps in the Abyss Web have thought up all these crazy things. Perhaps I should go and meet some of them and show them how brilliantly their inventions actually work. Maybe I should recruit them or at least introduce them to Jin’s dungeon instance.” Kraft had this random thought as he infused the stone with his chi and threw it at the direction of the impending entourage of police carriages.

Naturally, it only looked like a normal stone, but behind this unspectacular appearance was actually a gravity manipulator unit wrapped with Metaquartzite.
Metaquartzite is a type of sandstone composed primarily of quartz and cemented with silica cement. Because of its metamorphic form of quartz sandstone, it was harder than granite which had a general score of seven on the Mohs Hardness Scale. For some reason, the metaquartzite was needed to attenuate some of the unwanted beta energy waves the gravity manipulator created as a byproduct and at the same time acting as a shell to protect the device.
When Kraft activated the gravity manipulator with his chi, the metaquartzite also acted as a sort of buffer in emitting the chi into the gravity manipulator device to start up. Else, Kraft would have become the very first victim of his own weapon of mass destruction.
The front police carriage thought it was hilarious that the man in a long coat was throwing a stone at them. They mistook him for some protestor that hated the Demon Police or the Royalty, and so there was not a moment of care for him at all.
“Stupid protestors, can’t they see that we are working right now.” The carriage rider rolled his eyes as he prepared to evade the stone projectile that was coming towards him. However, his stomach felt weird and rather upsetting as if it was telling him that something terrible was going to happen.
True enough, when the ball zipped past him, not only the carriage but the demon police were all being sucked and dragged towards the gravity manipulator, wrapping them like a ball. However, the throwing force was so strong that the stone continued along the street, grabbing everything around it. The Police Carriages, the Demon Raptors, the stony pathways on the roads and even part of the building themselves.
“Damn! It’s that powerful?! Hahahaha! I should have used it for the prison break. It might have possibly sucked the Dungeon Core from its hiding!” Kraft laughed while holding on his stomach as he watched a giant ball of demons both dead and alive being stuck under a huge pile of debris rolling down the street.
He sat on the ground, filming the ball of destruction growing larger with even more debris and Demon police as well as some unlucky passerby it collected. “No wonder, the System said it is a one time use.” He checked his watch and figured it was time for the second review pending from Peppers.
With a timer set by Kraft with his chi, the Gravity Manipulator finally released the energy it stored from its dynamo engine after travelling a considerable distance. The counter gravity energy exploded, and it sent everyone and everything it collected within 50-metre diameter flying.
“Ayse and Rei will definitely like all this new data.” Kraft thanked the miracle workers that had come up with all these crazy experimental weapons.

The Systems of the Multiverse - A Guide for the Multiversal Traveler
The Systems of the Multiverse have their issues. I, an observer from outside the multiverse have made it into my mission to tell you, the multiversal traveler about those issues and dangers. This is a relatively low effort NaNoWriMo and Writhathon project. I want to test myself if I can manage 55k words in a month, likely updating every single day until the end. This story is told in the form of an in universe book. Well, I say story... While this definetly won't be great, I still hope it will be enjoyable. I do my best to avoid grammar mistakes and spelling issues, but won't promise anything. Corrections are welcome, this is also an excercise to improve my writing from a technical standpoint. Not from a worldbuilding and character standpoint however, for that you need time. Oh, the keyboards (and computers) that the observer destroys are not real and only exists in story to have an excuse to easily end this story at the end of NaNoWriMo. I also personally like reading LitRPG stories, so this isn't meant to hate them. It might come over that way, but many of those issues are simply fun to think about: what would really happen if the world is so, seen through a lease of negativity :-) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
