BXBX NOVEL Chapter 443: Guilty as charged
"I can\'t risk them alerting the people of the capital of the guys that they were watching notice that I am the one who got rid of them…" Rain rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "My best option is to make them disappear in less than seconds and make them explode in a place that it won\'t leave any signs behind."
Rain knew that he only had a single option, but he wondered if it would actually work… that was the kind of thing that was insane, it didn\'t matter how much he thought about it. Still, it was his only option.
Rain had to send them flying out of the atmosphere of that world… It was truly a crazy plan that would require insane amounts of mana, unless Rain flies them out of orbit himself, but in the end, he decided to think of a more reasonable approach.
"I guess that will do it," Rain thought after he had a certain idea.
After doing some training and recovering some mana, Rain decided to put his plan into action. He flew to the area above his destination and then began to fall toward the garden of the area, where the targets were.
When he landed there, they barely had the chance to turn their eyes to the side… they were immediately covered in water spheres. The water entered all the holes in their bodies before Rain completely froze them.
That usually would stop them from killing themselves or self exploding… they weren\'t dead, after all. Still, their self destruction spell still was activated. The ice spheres began to vibrate and crack and expand, but Rain quickly repaired them and increased their size. The atmosphere grew weird thanks to the fact that the energy wanted to consume everything, but ultimately, it never happened.
Severe cold can significantly impede the process of energy propagation, particularly when it comes to explosive situations. When the temperature drops to sub-freezing levels, several important factors come into play.
Cold temperatures cause chemical reactions within explosive materials to slow down. Essentially, the components necessary for an explosion become less active when it\'s cold. This results in delays in the detonation process and a decrease in the overall explosive power.
Explosions generate a substantial amount of gas. In colder conditions, gases tend to contract and have lower pressure. This constrains the force with which the explosion\'s shockwave expands, making it less destructive.
"Phew… I didn\'t think that I would be able to completely seal the mana from consuming everything around," Rain thought.
Rain looked at the ice spheres and then wondered what he should do with them: just bury them underground? That seemed like the most efficient method in terms of mana cost, Rain still had to save some to return home and join the others. Continue reading on mvl
In the end, he did that and then checked the house with his earth magic… Rain sighed when he felt a bunch of presences on the first floor and seven of them on the upper floors.
With his magic as he was now, Rain was able to create a door on the walls of those rooms and slowly open them without making any noises. He found some kids and the partners of the targets, but then Rain realized if only the husbands were part of schemes… wasn\'t it sexist to assume that women could also be capable enough to work with Joanis?
"Well, I guess I will come back for them later if they do anything suspicious," Rain shrugged.
Using wind and fire magic to keep the rooms warm and keep everyone relaxed, Rain made sure that they didn\'t wake up while also levitating the man with wind magic. It was kind of hard to do that, but it eventually worked.. at least Rain waited until those two were out of the rooms and he made the doors return to their original spots and become walls again…
Once that happened, Rain covered them up to their mouths in earth to avoid noise. After that, he returned to his former home and then left the capital using the tunnel, he resealed the whole thing again, just to be sure.
When morning came, the two prisoners woke up on the beach, their limbs were completely sealed… the rising sun made them have a hard time seeing what was ahead of them, but they could see two silhouettes standing at the beach and in front of them.
"It is time for a morning questionnaire, guys," Rain said, and at the sound of his voice, the prisoners trembled. "... Is this a clear sign of guilty as charged?"
"I would say so," Seadir said.
"Well, let\'s try a bit more… I will let you guys talk, and you guys need to answer me with a yes or no," Rain said. "Are you Joanis\' dogs? Don\'t do anything weird or buy time, all right? We aren\'t the patient types."
Rain removed the earth covering their mouths, and they immediately tried to bit their tongues… Rain knocked them down with some earth fists in their temples… he sighed in exasperation since he knew it would happen.
"It doesn\'t seem like we will get some information at this rate," Rain scratched the back of his head.
"We can do something about that. You can leave it to us," Seadir said while having a hard time holding back his bloodlust.
