BXBX NOVEL Chapter 640 Fail
The Essence of Darkness had already existed inside his body and it had been nourished for a long time. This made it easier to combine the Essence of his cultivation energy with the Essence of Darkness to spread it through his body.
Nial could make use of this to enhance his strength a little faster while he took care of other things.
After the Dungeon Raider Task Force had been created, there was no need for Nial to search for too many resources. The resources he obtained could be sold and traded for other items he may need. That way, Nial could start to stockpile a wide variety of resources without moving a finger.
There were still materials he couldn\'t get his hands on that way, but he could acquire them on his own when needed.
It was important to learn more about the work of a \'traditional\' Saint Runicier. His scrap runic armaments were already at the level of a Saintly Runic Armament but he quickly noticed that there was still a small difference between him and a genuine Saint Runicier.
Nial used hieroglyphs to shorten his gap to become a genuine Saint Runicier. At the end of the day, that didn\'t mean he was not a genuine Saint Runicier. His work was still exceptional and not less intricate, professional, and powerful than the products made by a traditional Saint Runicier.
In fact, his products were likely to have slightly higher efficiency. But even if that was actually the case, Nial knew that he had to make up the knowledge he was lacking. It was important that he knew as much as possible, otherwise, his experiments and attempts to create new, stronger, and more efficient runic armaments wouldn\'t be easy.
While researching the fundamental points of a Saint Runicier, Nial continued to create tools and miscellaneous items for his workers. They required the best tools and protection while constructing the humongous skyscrapers he had in mind.
To maintain the safety protocols inside the city and make sure that nobody would be accidentally squashed by a collapsing skyscraper, Nial and his people were experimenting with building a highly durable skyscraper outside the Orion Shelter\'s walls.
Many citizens of the Orion shelter were interested in the experiments. They observed the experiments, and saw the failures and success. The Elementalist used his elemental affinities to create natural catastrophes on the Mythician rank. Mathias focused on destroying the experimental skyscraper with his manifested natural catastrophes. This was something he succeeded in within the first few attempts before the construction process, materials, and other factors were adjusted to a certain extent. Mathias\' attacks were not strong enough to destroy the skyscrapers anymore after that. There were still some damages but they didn\'t require the skyscraper to be reconstructed.
It was pretty easy to tell that the residents of the skyscraper would be able to survive natural catastrophes at the Mythician rank. Of course, they would never have faced such a precedent as long as the Orion Shelter could make sure their defensive mechanisms were even stronger.
Not even Ancient Gods should be strong enough to pose a threat to the Orion Shelter\'s defenses. That was what Nial had in plan, though he was not delusional and in the belief that this would be easy. He would slowly and steadily work toward his goal while occasionally updating the defensive system of the Orion Shelter.
For now, he planned to rebuild all buildings into skyscrapers and similar high-rising buildings with the means to block attacks from Originals at the Trixor rank.
Natural catastrophes at the Mythician rank didn\'t focus on a single spot. Their power was spread out, creating large-scale damage, instead of concentrating the entire power on a single spot.
Nial was already at the Trixor rank, but he didn\'t feel like attacking the skyscraper. Rather than him destroying the hope of his people, Nial told Shadow to do so.
The Devil Origin Leviathan was not yet at the Trixor rank but he controlled much more dark energy than most of his Devils. Shadow was truly powerful and able to create a compressed Dark energy blast. He concentrated his power on a singular point and released a terrific blast that obliterated everything in its path before it impacted.
The impact was strong enough to destroy the outermost walls of the skyscrapers in an instant. Shadow controlled the dark energy blast precisely, cutting through the skyscraper\'s outermost walls horizontally before sending Nial an inquiry. The Devil wanted to know if Nial wanted to see the skyscraper fall.
\'Don\'t demotivate our people too much. Being able to destroy the outermost walls is already worrisome enough,\' Nial told Shadow in his mind while telling himself that mentioning the defense of the entire skyscraper was better than seeing the problem right in front of them if the skyscraper were to collapse.
However, it was no sooner he finished his thought when Ophelia shouted out loud.
"This piece of shit is useless!!"
A huge fireball, manifested from the mana of the raging Runicier prodigy, shot toward the skyscraper. Shadow had yet to disperse the dark energy blast. Thus, the moment the fireball impacted, the force of the blast and the fireball caused exactly what Nial wanted to prevent.
The skyscraper collapsed.
Nial sighed deeply, but there was not much they could do about it.
"Are the materials still the biggest problem, or should we change the runic solutions fro the liquefied runic constellations? I am pretty sure that we chose the right materials and runic solution…or did I miscalculate something?" Master Crevian mumbled under his breath, trying to understand what could be improved.
There shouldn\'t be an issue with the construction process, and it was not as if the skyscraper collapsed easily either. It had been constructed on a strong foundation to make sure that nothing too bad could happen.
Of course, nobody said it would be easy to construct a skyscraper strong enough to cope with a concentrated attack of a being that was probably as strong as weaker Trixor Originals.
Nonetheless, it was discouraging, and truly saddening!
