Netheril's Glory Chapter 141: Fatel Metal pieces.
Kang Kai wasn't able to block the alchemy puppet's attack, but with the rapid circulation of wind-type battle qi, he managed to dispel the dizziness feeling from his head quickly.
Unfortunately, his speed dropped sharply during the few seconds when his mind was in a dazed state. And how could the alchemy puppet that was getting beaten up passively for a long time let go of such a good opportunity? A portion of the alchemy armor on its body opened up in the next moment, and dozens of golden lights shot toward Kang Kai's vital points.
These golden lights were metal pieces the size of a palm, and colorful bright runes were carved on every inch of its surface area. After a quick analysis of the system, Punk found out that these were enchantments like sharpness, acceleration, armor penetration, and paralysis superimposed on all the metal pieces, and because of these enchantments, those dozens of inconspicuous metal pieces had terrific lethality. The glowing high-speed flying metal pieces were like laser beams leaving long tracks in the air.
Sensing the danger from those metal pieces, Bahanger hurriedly jumped back, and Punk was already prepared, but it was too late for Kang Kai in mid-air to react. The appearance and speed of these metal pieces were just too sudden; after all, who could have guessed that a slow and bulky alchemy puppet would have an attack like that of a stealthy and agile assassin. In fact, this weird scrap metal attack was more sudden and shocking than the "Roar of the soul" to Punk and the others.
Not having enough time, Punk could only cast a few apprentice-level spells to save his still useful teammate. However, these apprentice-level spells were completely useless.
Seeing that the metal pieces were about to pierce his body, Kang Kai, who had just recovered from the state of dizziness, became fully alert. He no longer had the time to mobilize his battle qi to protect his body. Still feeling the fatal danger in his heart, the ranger desperately circulated his battle qi and exploded with all his strength. Then he promptly dislocated the joints of his arms and legs and twisted his body in a bizarre shape in mid-air in order to avoid the metal pieces.
Finally, the metal pieces released by the alchemy puppet arrived.
"Swish! Swish!"
Multiple sounds of something cutting through the air were heard. Kang Kai successfully avoided most of the metal pieces with his desperate moves. Those metal pieces that missed their target all left deep holes on the wall behind Kang Kai.
Kang Kai, who had just escaped death, quickly covered himself with battle qi and landed back on the ground. He was now in a miserable state as the sharp metal pieces left many wounds on his body. The most serious ones were in his arm, which was almost cut in half, and his abdomen, which now had a big hole. In fact, if Kang Kai had not been using his battle qi to prevent the bleeding, he would have lost most of his blood already.
"What are those things? And why are these so powerful?"
Kang Kai asked while drinking a bottle of light red potion. He was very shocked by the power of these metal scraps, and he also couldn't understand why the alchemy puppet only attacked him.
But unfortunately, he didn't have time to ponder over the reason, as now the group of metal flakes was again flying towards him like a cluster of angry bees. Kang Kai, knowing their power, didn't plan to fight them directly at all.
So under the effect of wind-type battle qi, he moved like an erratic breeze and barely avoided the metal pieces coming straight toward him.
"Mr. Bahanger, you stop that big guy together with my golem, and I will help Mr. Kang Kai solve these annoying metal pieces."
Punk decided to get rid of the fatal metal pieces first; otherwise, if these flying knives jointly attacked with the alchemy puppet, it would bring huge trouble for them.
After hearing Punk's arrangement, Bahanger was not dissatisfied. Because, on the one hand, he did not want to deal with those extremely flexible metal pieces. On the other hand, he wanted to smash this big thing that was unscathed even after thousands of hammer attacks. So he responded loudly:
"Leave it to me. I could stop dozens of trolls alone in my younger days. So It's not a problem for me. In fact, I will come to help you after I have dismantled this iron lump into firewood."
Although Punk wanted to know how this dwarf would dismantle iron into firewood, he still focused on the metal pieces flying around.
These little iron pieces seemed to have locked onto Kang Kai and were only chasing after him while turning a blind eye to others, so the unlucky Kang Kai could only run around the cave in order to avoid them.
"Why do these things are only chasing after Kang Kai!"
Punk did not launch an attack immediately. He found that these metal pieces seemed to be tracking the target independently. So he was trying to find out what was in Kang Kai's body but not in himself and Bahanger.
He found the answer fairly quickly. It was energy fluctuation, or more specifically, violent energy fluctuation. Punk came to this conclusion after seeing how as soon as Bahanger condensed his battle qi to attack the alchemy puppet, almost half of the metal pieces suddenly separated from the "big cluster" and shot toward Bahanger.
Bahanger quickly jumped away from his previous spot in order to avoid the sudden attack of the metal pieces and yelled loudly:
"What's the matter with you, mage Punk? Didn't you said you would stop these scrap metals?"
At this time, Punk, who had discovered the secret of the metal pieces, didn't pay attention to the brainless dwarf.
"That's it. They are tracking the enemy through intense energy fluctuations. Also, if separated from each other, their strength becomes weaker!"Punk keenly noticed the changes in the lethality of the metal pieces and quickly came to this conclusion.
The metal pieces were tracking targets with intense energy fluctuation. As for the reason why these things used such a method, Punk guessed that it could be because the energy fluctuation of the giant alchemy puppet was not very high, so if these things were set up to only attack creatures with intense energy fluctuation, then it would easily avoid any accidental friendly fire."
Moreover, the metal sheets could only exert their maximum power when in a cluster, and their strength would be significantly reduced if they were separated.
Combining the existing information, Punk now had some pretty reliable speculation about the mechanism of this giant alchemy puppet.
"It seems that the alchemy attainment of the creator of this alchemy puppet is not too outrageous. After all, Its intelligent core is not completely flawless, and it can only control the alchemy puppet. Most likely, it does not have enough processing power to control these metal pieces, and because of it, these extremely flexible "knives" have to rely on automatic systems!"
Now that Punk knew the weakness of this big thing, the next step was very simple.
Punk smiled slightly and then used a swiftness spell to avoid the attack of the puppet. At the same time, a very uncommon spell model was built inside his mind-palace.
Sensing Punk's mana fluctuation, some of the metal pieces chasing Bahamger locked into Punk and began to chase him. Bahanger, now a lot freer, managed to hammer the alchemy puppet a few times. It seemed that he was finally fed up with all the running, and the angry dwarf was ready to use his big move.
"Enough, now look how, I, the grate Bahanger, crush this big thing. I want to twist its head and smash it into a paste. There is nothing to be afraid about. A pile of scrap metal will still be useless even if you built a giant dragon with it."
With this arrogant declaration, Bahanger's body was quickly wrapped in layers of earthy yellow battle qi, and he began to look as if he was wearing thick rock armor.
"Official level fighting skill-Battle-qi armor!"
Bahanger, wearing the armor made of battle qi, looked like a short version of Iron Man. His speed had also increased by a lot, and with his newly gained momentum, Bahanger began to jump around the alchemy puppet like a chunky ball. The separated and less-powerful metal pieces could no longer hinder the dwarf, so Bahanger started to hammer the giant alchemy puppet uninterruptedly.
