Dragon King's Harem Chapter 9. Unexpected Weapon
We arrived in a large room with strong stone walls surrounding it. The protective crystals were in every corner of the room. It would activate as soon as an impact tried to destroy the room. The ceiling was very high, much higher than the previous corridor. But even so, several large cracks were on the walls, signifying how strong the person who had trained there was.
Another door was at the other end of the room.
The stone door behind us closed and I turned to look at Eir.
"Let's get started." I knew Argod rarely used monsters for his training targets since killing them was too easy for him. But since he had guessed this, he had ordered to catch monsters from level 1 to level 30 as my training targets. Whereas monsters level 30 and above were too dangerous, so I had to hunt them in their habitats.
"Yes, Your Majesty," said Eir.
As Eir approached a nearby green crystal, Evelina pointed her staff at me and was just about to cast her Accelerate and Power Boost skills.
I raised my hand to stop her.
"There's no need. I want to know my limit is." She was not always with me, at least I had to know how far I could face my enemy when I had to avoid it.
"Okay." She lowered her staff in hesitation and was silently preparing to cast the spell. Actually, Evelina wasn't sure about this. Even though these monsters were low-level, there would be a lot of them.
Eir put his hand on the crystal.
"Level 1."
The door across us opened, ten huge green grasshopper monsters in the size of a large dog, began to scatter out of it.
'Analyze!'
[Name: Green Pest.]
[Level 1]
[Type: Insect]
[HP: 51/51]
[Mana: 17/17]
[ATK: 7]
[M.ATK: 3]
[DEF: 3]
[Skills: Venom Bite]
'Here we go! Adrenaline Surge! Dragon Armour! '
I could feel my strength increasing, several small sparks surrounded my body. Black armour also covered my left chest.
[Adrenaline Surge has been activated.]
[Dragon Armour has been activated.]
[ATK: 35 + 2]
[M.ATK: 35 + 2]
[DEF: 30 + 2]
[SPD: 30 +2]
[Time remaining: 14:56]
'Shit! That's so weak! ' Well, I couldn't complain because I was level 1. Then I imagined the weapons I wanted in my head as I lunged at them.
'Mana Weapon!' My hands glowed as two weapons began to form in my hands.
Eir and Evelina held their breaths in tension because of Argod's reckless action. They thought Argod would use a bow to attack them but it looks like Argod wanted to bring this to close-range combat using a double sword.
[You have shot a Green Pest for 34 HP. ] X2
I grinned at my success in killing my first monster in one shot. While the monsters fell silent as one of their comrade's head spilt green disgusting blood and died, even though I wasn't near them yet. Meanwhile, Eir and Evelina stared at the 'strange weapons' in my hands in confusion. Two handguns with a mixed design between a unique long revolver and a semi-automatic gun. That design allowed me to fire two magic bullets with each pull of the trigger. I also created a different colour for my weapon, silver on my right hand and black on my left.
I understood their reaction since I bet they had never seen a weapon like this before. Also with the Dragon King's eyes, I could lock onto my target easily.
[You have shot a Green Pest for 32 HP. ] X2
An exploding sound from my weapon, killing another monster and startling them, including Eir and Evelina. The monsters charged at me, while I pointed my guns at them and killed them one by one easily before they could reach me.
- Bang! - Bang! - Bang! - Bang!
[You have shot a Green Pest for 32 HP. ] X2
[You have shot a Green Pest for 31 HP. ] X2
[You have shot a Green Pest for 34 HP. ] X2
[You have shot a Green Pest for 35 HP. ] X2
I moved my hands quickly, aimed my guns at them accompanied by my feet movements as if I was dancing with them. In just seconds, all the Green Pests in front of me died.
[All enemies have been defeated!]
[Level Up!]
[You are now Level 2. HP +50, Mana + 20, ATK and MATK + 5, DEF and SPD +2]
[You have earned a new title: Newborn. Finished your first practice. HP +10 ]
After that announcement appeared, I could feel my mana fully recharged.
"Get the rest of them out," I ordered.
"Level 1, all monsters," said Eir.
This time more Green Pest came out of that door. I was not sure of their number, maybe 30 to 40. Deftly, I pulled my triggers and killed them one by one.
- Bang! - Bang! - Bang! - Bang!
[You have shot a Green Pest for 41 HP. ] X2
[You have shot a Green Pest for 40 HP. ] X2
[You have shot a Green Pest for 38 HP. ] X2
[You have shot a Green Pest for 35 HP. ] X2
It was more difficult than before, some of the monsters started to approach me. But with alacrity, I retreated or ran to the other side to avoid them. My fingers kept pulling the triggers.
"Kieekkkk!" A shrill scream came from behind me. I swung my tail, smacking the monster that jumped at me.
[You have hit a Green Pest for 31 HP. ]
That monster fell. Then I turned and pointed my gun at him.
[You have shot a Green Pest for 39 HP. ] X2
The monster bled a green liquid and died.
[All enemies have been defeated!]
[Level Up!]
[You are now Level 3. HP +50, Mana + 20, ATK and MATK + 5, DEF and SPD +2]
[HP: 310/310] [Mana: 140/140]
[ATK: 45] [M.ATK: 45]
[SPD: 34] [DEF: 34]
"Congratulations Your Majesty! You have finished level 1 in less than 15 minutes!" said Eir excitedly. Next to him, Evelina had cancelled her spell, since what she was worried about was in vain.
"Let's move on to level 2," I said, using my Adrenaline Surge and Dragon Armour .
[Adrenaline Surge has been activated.]
[Dragon Armour has been activated.]
[ATK: 45 + 7]
[M.ATK: 45 + 7]
[DEF: 34 + 5]
[SPD: 34 + 5]
[Time remaining: 14:56]
Eir put his hand on the crystal again."Level 2."
The door across from us opened and ten black fly monsters in the size of a cat started rushing out of it. Sharp needles on their bottom.
'Analyze!'
[Name: Trash Fly.]
[Level 2]
[Type: Insect]
[HP: 63/63]
[Mana: 21/21]
[ATK: 11]
[M.ATK: 4]
[DEF: 5]
[Skills: Venom Sting]
As before, I pointed my guns at them and started shooting them one by one. Unlike before, since they flew, some of my shots missed as they flew out of my shooting range.
"Tch!" I clicked my tongue in annoyance. The wings tattoo on my back turned into a pair of black dragon wings. I flicked it and flew off without taking my eyes off those monsters. This time, with the same aerial advantage, I could kill them easily.
[You have shot a Trash Fly for 47 HP. ] X2
[You have shot a Trash Fly for 46 HP. ] X2
[You have shot a Trash Fly for 44 HP. ] X2
I killed them all in less than 15 minutes. Actually, Trash Fly was no more difficult than the previous Green Pest, what made it difficult was I had to chase them.
[All enemies have been defeated!]
[You have gained EXP!]
I flapped my wings in the mid-air as I turned my gaze to Eir below me.
"Eir, take out level 2 per 10 monsters," I said. I didn't want to deal with this type of monster too much since I had to chase that rotten monster around.
"Okay," replied Eir.
"Level 2, next 10 monsters."
Ten Trash Fly flew out of the door. This time I swiftly glided to the door and shot them before they noticed me.
[All enemies have been defeated!]
[You have gained EXP!]
And ten Trash Fly flew out of that door. Like before, I finished them off, without difficulty. The only thing that annoyed me was, I had to chase them like a bunch of brat with wings.
[All enemies have been defeated!]
[You have gained EXP!]
Ten Trash Fly flew out again and I quickly chased them and finished them off one by one.
[All enemies have been defeated!]
[Level Up!]
[You are now Level 4. HP +50, Mana + 20, ATK and MATK + 5, DEF and SPD +2]
[HP: 360/360] [Mana: 160/160]
[ATK: 50] [M.ATK: 50]
[SPD: 36] [DEF: 36]
I panted from chasing those annoying flies.
"More!" I said. I wanted to finish this level immediately.
"You have completed level 2, Your Majesty," said Eir.
"Really?" I flapped my wings to get down and let out a sigh of relief as my feet landed on the ground.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty," said Evelina with a smile. Neither she nor Eir expected, Argod could complete two levels in less than an hour.
"Thank you," I replied. But this was not enough. I was still level 4 and just lucky that I could kill these monsters with my guns.
"Do you want to take a rest?" asked Eveline.
"It's okay. I need to find out my limit," I said.
"Isn't that too much, Your Majesty?" said Evelina worriedly. Argod just woke up from his long sleep, passing 2 levels was fast progress.
I walked over to her in casual steps.
"Draconis needs me, Igixar needs me and I have slept for too long. Isn't it a dragon king's duty to protect this realm? And I can't carry out my duties with my current power. " Then I stopped in front of her and looked into her eyes.
"Besides, I have a personal healer to heal me, what am I afraid of?" I said with a smirk.
Evelina's heart was beating fast again. Her eyes were glued to mine and her face turned slightly red.
"Okay..."
I turned my gaze to Eir.
"Next." Then I turned around and walked to the middle of the training ground.
Note: He could only make weapons his hands could hold. Also the energy cost of a nuclear is too much for him. So, nuclear is out of the question. His original world has less type of weapons/guns compared to us.
Thanks for the chappy
Can he create grenade?
Yep. But it will become useless later, since he will get some fire skills that have similar effect (but more damage) with a grenade. Ah yes I forgot to say his original world does not have grenade and nuclear, also less type of weapons/guns compared to us.
@Nanakawaichan Actual grenades don't deal damage with fire normally. Sure there are types of improvised fire bombs like the good old molotov cocktail, but those are rather weak. There are also incendiary grenades, but those are more for destruction of equipment since they burn super hot and can easily melt metal given time.
Most grenades deal damage using metal fragments propelled by an explosion, or use the pressure wave itself to inflict damage.
Frag grenades deal damage over a larger area. However the damage drops off much faster as you get farther away from the blast. Damage is also a bit uneven since a fragment has to actually hit something to deal damage.
The other common type goes by a number of different names like concussion, or high explosive. The damage tends to be more concentrated and over a smaller area. It also tends to evenly spread the damage due to the nature of the expanding pressure wave. They can also be combined and set off all at once to try and breach a hardened target. However they tend to be heavier and have become less common then frag grenades.
There are also antitank grenades that have fallen out of favour as armour has increased. They function like an rpg warhead would being a HEAT type. The thrown versions can have a mini parachute to ensure the grenade is oriented towards its target. Grenade launchers also use these or similar types of rounds, and can get some decent penetration with a direct hit.
Of course this isn't common knowledge so our hero is unlikely to be able to recreate it. HEAT weapons in particular have a complex design. That plasma jet of metal requires more than just a big boom after all.
The effect of HEAT weapons would actually be hard to recreate with fire breath. A lot of energy would be lost as it travels from the mouth to its target. After all standoff armour (a thin plate or cage just above the normal armour) greatly reduces its effectiveness in real life.
Er... I'm not a weapon expert. So I will use common weapon. But basically he can use both modern and medieval weapons. Also his original world has less type of weapons/guns compared to us
@Nanakawaichan Yeah I was just putting that info out there because I find it interesting.
I wouldn't expect the MC to use anything too complex due to lack of knowledge (no ICBMs or gundams for example). That should really be the key limiting factor on mana weapons. You must have knowledge of what you intend to create, and the more complex the harder it is to create.
The guns he used are likely incomplete due to lack of knowledge and magic is used to fill in the gaps. If he had been a gunsmith instead of a s*x worker, he likely could have created even more powerful guns with less effort.
@SuperBort The frag grenades would be perfect for goblin hordes.
@Alphafi you remminds me to goblin slayer
@Melkord A good goblin is a dead goblin
@Nanakawaichan Why a revolver and a standard semi auto? I mean he does not have to worry about weapon jams so why revolver at all?
@Fafulin I think it is a semi-automatic revolving two shot pistol
A magic deleting grenade that is non-physical-damage-dealing should be very effecting against spirit based life forms
