Chapter 1035: Test flight
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Abel stood in the operation room of this ancient yet brand new battle fort with full control over it.
“Fire tooth, what’s the current condition of the battle fort!” He lowered his voice and said.
Although it was a brand new battle fort, he still needed to know its condition before the test flight.
“The prestigious Headmaster. Now examining!
Defense system normal
Invisibility system normal
Flying system normal
Attack system normal.
Enough energy supply for 100 years.
Battle fort normal!”
The Fire tooth spirit’s voice filled the operation room.
“Fire tooth, ignite invisibility mode and start flying!” Abel commanded immediately.
Afterward, strange energy wrapped around the base of the battle fort, and it vanished from the spot. Other than Abel in the operation room, no one from the outside could see the battle fort.
Soon, the battle fort levitated off the ground and horizontally rose 1000 meters towards the sky in no time, just like other battle forts.
“The prestigious Headmaster, please select flight path!” Fire tooth stopped 1000 meters above ground and asked.
The monogram of a map appeared in front of Abel. All he needed to do was to point out where he wanted to go.
So he selected a peak in the Ervo Forest 500 miles away from him.
The battle fort soon speeded in mid-air.
It was at that moment, Abel realized this thing was flying strangely. It accelerated effortlessly, and he couldn’t feel any turbulence.
It seemed like this battle fort was using a completely different technology to fly.
Abel curiously unleashed his power of the will. Since he had the highest authority, he could reach his power of the will to any part of the Fire tooth.
Soon, he found the secret. There were 4 strange sets of components, and they were all drawn with special magic patterns, but only one of them was hard at work.
“Fire tooth, explain those components to me!” Abel asked.
“The prestigious headmaster, this is the flying system. There is the repulsion system, which directs the flying and it can do many moves in the sky working hand in hand with the levitation system.” Fire tooth explained.
“Why is only one component working?” Abel asked in confusion, especially since Fire tooth did not ask him to select the flying speed.
“The prestigious Headmaster, each component could double the flying speed but it would also drain twice as much energy, so in normal circ.u.mstances the system only ignites one component!” Fire tooth spirit replied
“Fire tooth, ignite all 4 components!” Abel wanted to get a sense of the max speed. Although its speed with one component was a little faster than White Cloud, it was still nothing compared to Flying Flame.
He had more than enough gems. What he needed was speed.
“The prestigious Headmaster, ignition on command!” Fire tooth replied.
Abel scanned with his power of the will, and the fort viciously speeded up.
In a few minutes, it stopped.
“Fire tooth, what happened? Abel was just getting a thrill from the speed, and it stopped.
“The prestigious headmaster, you have arrived at your destination!” Fire tooth replied.
Abel looked at the map. The battle fort really did travel 500 miles, but the strange thing was that the mountain peak was missing.
“Change in terrain spotted. System now updating!” Fire tooth’s voice emerged again as he saw the map monogram began to change.
The world had changed too much since ancient times. Since Abel was looking for the peak, it was why he didn’t know that he had arrived.
“Fire tooth, can I operate the battle fort?” Abel couldn’t care less about the map. The speed he experienced just then was even faster than a move in a flash.
A move in a flash needed a magic pattern to be drawn each time. Although it was quick, it still hindered the speed.
A battle fort in the sky, on the other hand, could disregard the elements of the ground and speed up as much as it wanted. It was the best mode of transport.
Of course, it couldn’t compete with a teleportation circle, but it was much safer for him.
“The prestigious Headmaster, you can control it with your power of the will!” Fire tooth replied like a loyal servant.
Abel connected his power of the will to a magi circle, and the areas covered by the Battle fort were displayed in his eyes.
He felt like he was almost floating in the sky. He had become the battle fort.
He flew up, down, and backward, accelerated and decelerated. It was all done through his power of the will, just like his own body.
He didn’t know what technology this thing was using, but the atmosphere’s drag was completely defused, just like when he was a giant dragon.
He could no longer imagine what led to the destruction of ancient times. This thing was neck to neck with the jets of his past world!”
Full speed. Abel didn’t know where he was going, but it was better to let Fire tooth update its map for a bit.
This feeling was completely different from sitting on a flying beast. It was almost like sitting in a jet.
Although he has never flown a jet before, it would be the dream of every person who sat on a flying beast. At that moment, this thing had become a giant toy of his.
After half a day of playing, he realized he left the Ervo Forest. He was no longer in the elves’ territory.
He slowed down and came across a rocky mountain without any signs of life.
“Fire Tooth, scan for life!” Abel asked.
“Now scanning. Small creatures spotted, no intelligent life!” Fire tooth quickly replied.
This mountain attracted him because he was afraid of damaging trees ever since he signed an equal contract with the tree of life.
However, he was not planning to suppress this intuition since it was affecting him too much anyway.
“Fire tooth, what weapons are in the attack system?” Abel asked.
“The prestigious headmaster, the battle fort have 10 energy cannons, which can be increased to 100 energy cannons. 10 crystal bomb magic circles, which can be increased to 50 crystal bomb magic circles. And 2 destruction bombs!” Fire tooth replied.
Abel did not hesitate. Those were all the weapons he had, increasing it was not even worth considering.
He saw the inventory of the dwarves, and those energy cannons or bombs were nowhere to be seen.
“Fire tooth, aim an energy cannon at that mountain!” Abel ordered.
“Target confirmed!” Fire tooth’s voice means Abel sensed a cannon reaching out from the side of the battle fort from his power of the will.
Under half a second, a blinding beam shot out towards the Rocky Mountain.
Bang! A big hole with a diameter of 1 meter opened up. Looking at a depth of the hole, this cannon was best for penetration, not explosion.
Although Abel didn’t know how deep the hole was, he couldn’t see the bottom.
He had 10 cannons, and each shot took half a second, so that was 20 shots per second in total. On top of the aiming ability of Fire Tooth, he could easily disrupt a holy knight formation with this.
“Fire tooth, use a crystal bomb on the mountain!” Abel continued.
“Target confirmed!” Fire tooth’s voice emerged again, and the base of the battle fort began to open up. Abel sensed large amounts of energy gathering finally, forming a crystallized bomb.
The crystal bomb dropped down and flew towards the mountain.
Bang! A 20 meters wide hole was opened up, wiping out all signs of life.
This could not compete with his super exploding ball, but his super exploding ball was beyond this world anyway. Without the personal storage box to freeze time, there was no way he would carry those things around.
Each super exploding ball was the energy of a top-level gem, and this crystal bomb system was much less wasteful.
The best thing about them was that he could use many of them at once. It was just that he only had 10 of them, and each of them took 5 seconds to gather energy. Unless he was attacking a fixed object, 5 seconds was more than enough time for anyone to run off.
“Fire tooth, how’s the power of the destruction bomb?” He asked.
He didn’t want to test out the destruction bomb since he only had 2 of them, and each of them could only be used once, so he wanted to save them for future research.
“The prestigious headmaster, you have the authority to use a destruction bomb. A destruction bomb has the power to wipe out everything in 10 miles, and it was forbidden for anyone other than an elite force to use according to the war treaty.
“That’s basically an atomic bomb!” Abel bit his tongue. He was lucky to have the headmaster badge. If not, those 2 destruction bombs would just be for show.
But were things like this really worth researching? If he made a wrong move, he might not be able to dodge the blast even if he moved in a flash.
He couldn’t understand how a brand new battle fort like this got leftover by the ancients along with 2 forbidden destruction bombs.
The experiments came to an end. He was already very happy with the battle fort. With this speed and weapons, no one would be able to mess with him from the ground.
However, for a legendary who could also fly, it might not be as useful.
“Go back!” Abel selected his destination and ordered.
The battle fort accelerated, leaving the destroyed rocky mountain behind.
When he returned to his accommodation, he connected Fire Tooth’s spirit with Jade, the spirit of the other battle fort, as well as the research spirit underground.
With this perfect battle fort, his defense could not only stop people from coming in, but it could also attack.
However, before that, he had to let Fire tooth update the terrain of the Central Continent by flying around.
With 2000 top-level gems, Fire tooth could do it all by itself.
He also didn’t need to replenish the gems himself. He left over a pile of top-level gems on the battle fort. Once it ran out of energy, the repairing puppets would take care of it.
The Holy Kingdom would probably not attack the tree of life in the near future after their loss in Battlecry city, which gave Fire tooth a great chance to know the Central Continent.
Abel wanted to get a full map of the Central Continent. Even though wizards ruled this world, making maps was still a big ha.s.sle. Many places were left blank.
At least he didn’t know the shape of the Central Continent. He was used to looking at world naps, so he always felt like he didn’t know much about this world.
