Chapter 185: Visibility Cloak

Shit! Miles looked at the two boiling orbs as he threw them out of the ramshackle building. He wanted to conduct his experiments in this deserted industrial area for this reason, because he was pretty sure he would blow up at least once or twice.

KABOOM!

Another failure. Miles sighed in defeat. He tested some of his ideas, but all of them failed except one.

In the first experiment, two orbs with different tiers couldnt be merged. Because the resonance equilibrium couldnt be achieved between two different tiered orbs. Miles used his wind sword and the other low-tier he purchased, blew up, and turned into firecrackers.

In the second experiment, two orbs with different elements cannot be merged if their tiers are different. Miles blew up one poisonous and one lightning elemental orbs to try this one.

In the third experiment, two orbs with the same element and tier but different shapes can be merged. Miles merged two wind elemental orbs, one being a small dagger and the other a glove. The end product was claw-like gloves with small dagger-like blades at the tips.

Sixth experiment, two orbs with different elements, same tier but different shapes can be merged. Miles used a low-tier fire boot and poison arrow and the end product was fire-poison boot with two elements with a little hole at the tip. When kicked with enough strength, the hidden arrow would fly out of the hole and puncture the target.

To make sure the third step was working, Miles tested another two times and failed to form the orb. He didnt know why, but the sixth test worked and Miles decided it was good enough to test with his own orbs. He ran out of lower-tier orbs and minerals were getting sparser.

Miles was satisfied with his experiments, and he was glad to waste these resources. Without them, he wouldnt know if different shaped items could be merged or not. If he were to waste pinnacle-tier orbs instead, he would be devastated.

Miles, after resting and calming for an hour, brought out the big guns. One high-tier and one pinnacle-tier orbs were ready to be merged now, one being Lion Mask and the other Porcupine Shield. The shield was high-tier, so he would merge it with the same tier Fire Cape, and Lion Mask was pinnacle-tier, it would obviously merge with the same tier Gas Mask with the wind element.

Miles wanted to try high-tier orbs first. He was afraid to blow up the Lion Mask. It was his strongest orb at the moment, and if successfully merged, it would be stronger than even his Maroon armor. So he didnt want to waste it.

He placed two orbs in a brand new boiler. He didnt use his experimental boilers just in case. He took out Elemental Minerals and sized them. He was working with them for such a long time, and by now he understood how much mineral orb required depending on its tier. A pinnacle-tier Orb required a big chunk of mineral. Although his heart was bleeding, Miles relieved himself with the idea of a cave full of minerals.

The fire elemental orb was almost fully intact and the high-tier orb required a little less than a finger size. Miles carefully broke the mineral and placed the piece on top of the orb. The orb started to shine with red. Miles repeated the same procedure with the high-tier Shield orb with the lightning element and it shone too. After that, he carefully started the workstation and waited for them to melt.

He used too much of the lightning mineral, but luckily he had two of that element. Otherwise, he wouldnt have enough for the pinnacle-tier orb.

After fifteen minutes, two orbs were semi-melted, so Miles carefully grabbed one of the boilers and tilted it on top of the other. He carefully lowered the orb and they clinked. When they were touching each other, their sheen ascended to a new high.

Miles could hardly look at them. But they were stable, and no sign of explosion could be seen. Miles excitedly held his breath and looked at two orbs merging. The first time, he was too afraid of them exploding, so he hid behind a wall. Coin said it was beautiful. And last time, he had already seen many of them exploding, so he thought different types of orbs would explode as well. He was hiding once again and missed the merging of two orbs. But now, he was watching the whole ordeal.

Two orbs melted into liquid form. Their red sheen caused by hot temperatures was gone, and they gained their original colors. One purple and one red liquid merged slowly. At first, the division between the two was obvious, but as the liquid swirled like a vortex in the ocean, two liquids left themselves and became one. It was a darker shade of magenta color.

After merging, liquid started to rotate at its epicenter. The orbiting liquid cooled down pretty quick and took the shape of a round. After ten minutes, the liquid turned into an orb with a cape floating in a purplish red sky.

Miles grabbed the cold orb and charged it without waiting. Orb melted in his hand and attached to his back. A cape with the same color but full of spikes appeared on his back. This is so fucking awesome!

I wonder how its elements are working. Miles excitedly moved around and waved the cape. He accidentally hit the cape onto the wall while swinging it majestically, and swimming lightning and dangerous-looking fire formed simultaneously before it exploded where the wall contacted the cape. When two elements appeared together, they exploded and destroyed the wall but the volatile explosion also made Miles fly in the giant room before he fell to the ground with a great force.

Argh! Miles puked a mouthful of blood and looked at forming elements on the cape because of his fall. He tried to remove the orb but it was too late. An explosion bigger than the other went off beneath him and sent him into the air no less than five meters.
