BXBX NOVEL Chapter 79 - [One Shot]
Aren continued to watch the blue orb to see the outside situation while his Armalist force recovered.
After nearly five minutes, he started working on his gear again. He enchanted the ball\'s inner structure to become bigger but shrunk the ball in size with the space expanding and folding space manipulation he could do with the gear printing device.
However, there was a limit, so he couldn\'t go past that limit.
\'As for the special trait using Armalist essence...I\'ll make it reinforced structure, so it doesn\'t break after I use it to full power,\' Aren thought as he did the final touches and finished the gear in the next minute.
...
Outside, Aren appeared on the tree with a thumbed-sized ball floating in front of him.
He had the name of the gear as well.
[One shot]
-Type: Articule Gear.
-Rank: Unranked.
-Requirement: Armalist Drive +3.
-Perks: None.
-Damage: 4510-Untested limit.
-Trait: Reinforced Structure.
-Durability: [10,000/10,000]
-Note: Not upgradable.
Looking at his new Articule gear, Aren muttered, "let\'s start buffing it."
He first infused all mutant magic energy into it, all 1000 points, and then infused spirit energy. Anyway, both will combine inside because of the mutant magic\'s energy and turn into more powerful Spirit magia energy.
-Spirit Energy Pool: [ 9782/10200 ]
[9640/10200]
[9570/10200]
[9430/10200]
Aren\'s spirit energy started to decrease as he continuously infused spirit energy into the [One shot] gear.
This was making it powerful every second, and with how he created its inner structure, he also didn\'t know how powerful it would become once he reached the limit.
He finally stopped infusing after a minute as he felt the limit.
Looking at the status of his spirit energy pool, Aren wiped off some sweat.
[5540/10,200]
\'Damn! 4660 spirit energy...on top of 1000 mutant magic energy. Both will come to become more powerful as well,\' Aren thought as he looked at the [One shot] gear that was glowing with a dark orange aura.
He slowly put it on his hand to feel its weight, but after less than a second, he hurriedly controlled it because it was too heavy even for his current physical strength.
\'I wonder how much damage it will cause once it breaks past the sonic barrier, gathers kinetic energy, and hits someone?\' Aren wondered as he quickly manipulated the ball to go three hundred meters away from him.
But afterward, he fell into thought as he looked at the two brothers who were standing beside the altar. They had killed four more people even though there was an early barrier because they could teleport there.
He then glanced at the resurrecting orc lord, which was also close to completing its corrupted resurrection.
-Progress: 94%
And then, he looked at the blood cocoon.
[Blood Hexa Corrupted Entity]
-Progress: 4%
\'Should I target it instead?\' Aren questioned himself and fell into thought.
Frankly speaking, he didn\'t know how the damage of this new gear would turn out after seeing how much energy it was possessing and condensing into it. He even felt that the gear would be destroyed after he used it for obvious reasons, and once that happened, he wouldn\'t be able to repair it like [Destructo] hammer gear.
He could make another one, but he needs to use <Breakdown> skill on gear to get materials and armalist essence.
After thinking for a few moments, Aren focused on the altar to get its information.
[Blood Hexa Altar]
-Grade: Legendary.
-Effect: Can do a corrupted resurrection of a being but needs its core body part, many sacrifices, and a lot of spirit energy. The resurrected being will be out of control and will just ensure destruction.
-Note 1: The resurrected being will be attracted to places with abundant blood and flesh.
-Note 2: The resurrected being will slowly run out of its energy even if no one destroys it and die. The duration of resurrection depends on the sacrifice.
-Defense: Physical [7000] Energy [7000]
-Durability: [50,000/50,000]
\'So the altar is the main thing that is resurrecting the orc lord. Is it also resurrecting the blood cocoon?\' Aren wondered, and after a moment, he decided to attack the altar with his full-powered [One shot] gear.
He used <Hyper Charge> on it, activated <Demonic Flame: Zarkhel> and also activated <Painful Glory> ability because an altar is a lifeless object, so he won\'t feel pain. And even though he will not leech life from it since it doesn\'t have life, the 30% increased damage might still apply, so he used it as well.
The 30% damage increase is actually very powerful. Suppose the damage he deals with an attack is 100,000, then if he uses this ability, it will turn into 130,000. An increase of whooping 30,000.
He then started his attack as the gear started flying towards the altar with its full speed, and after two seconds, a loud sonic boom resounded.
*Booooom....*
"Brother! Defend the alt-"
*BOOOOOOOOM...*
[-88,740]
[You have completed a bonus task by destroying the legendary altar]
[Rewards]: 35,000 exp. A random skill box (A rank to SS rank).
Aren got the voice message and notification while everyone heard a loud boom twice rapidly along with a sudden blood-red energy flare because the altar was utterly destroyed.
The orc lord that was almost complete opened its blood-red eyes and roared.
Even though the altar broke, it was still resurrecting, so it resurrected at 97% progress.
[Corrupted Orc Lord]
-Rank: Special-entity, Corrupted being.
-Health: [434,594/500,000].
-Defense: Physical [6680], Energy [6490], Soul[∞].
-Attack: Physical [11,000], Corrupted Energy [17,000].
-Speed: Slow, but at least 5 meters per its giant steps.
-Skills: ???
-Abilities: ???
*Roar!!!*
Aren was shocked at the info of the orc lord, \'A single wave of his hand and I am dead. Fuck, I have to get out from here.\'
He looked at the bloody cocoon surrounded by blood aura and blood thread as it was still completely fine, \'I guess this process can\'t be stopped without the full information from those two brothers regarding this whole fiasco.\'
He tried to sense his gear, but there was no response; he hurriedly looked at this path status and found the sad truth that the gear was destroyed.
[ Path- Emporio Armalist ]
-Level: 6 [ 22,450/32,000 Exp ]
-Armalist Force: [ 600/600 ]

--> Armalist Cloak.
--> Emporio Zone.
Only three Articule gears remained.
Aren had attacked the altar from another direction to hide his position, but now, he was going to hide at a different place.
He squatted on his sword and cut some branches filled with leaves before he grabbed them around him and descended on the ground.
Afterward, he started flying at ground levels towards the very end of the invisible barrier. However, he soon noticed that the invisible barrier had disappeared because he got out of the range limit he perceived while he was at the top of the tree.
"This...is great," Aren muttered as he gathered some spirit energy into his throat\'s meridians and loudly shouted, "THE BARRIER IS NO MORE! RUN!!"
Right after shouting, Aren threw away the branches and escaped with his full speed on the sword.
