Chapter 716 Mythra-Orichalcum

\"Please don't tell me you plan to let her bombard it with explosive magic until the shell breaks. That might work, but it will also cause significant damage to the entirety of the area, including the surrounding platforms. It's gonna do more harm than good.\" Moloch logically reasoned with Qiu Yue since the little girl in high spirits had already left the area.

But he too had forgotten something about Peppers. She continued to be the bearer of the absolute database for the System. The mage Bellator instantly realised that Jin's arsenal and their monsters were not sufficient enough to break the shield without damaging the sidelines.

And while granted she would love to explode things without restraint, there were strict orders coming from the System personally to provide maximum damage to the enemies with little to no casualties on their side. Otherwise, she'd get no system points for the next six months.

This penalty would severely restrict her daily snack intake, so she took the order to heart. The best part? Qiu Yue knew about this because she had been the one who had previously requested her Sub System to implement such a demand whenever they planned to harness Peppers battle powers.

Thus, Qiu Yue comforted Moloch, letting him know that everything would be fine. They would have someone else penetrate a hole in Countess Dantalion's shield in order for Peppers to unleash her prowess from within.

And who could be a better candidate for that job than Zeru?

She had learned in her time coming up with a strategy that Jin's master was not just a Sword Saint but a master of other weapons too, particularly those used in a conventional medieval war. While his cultivation, the Thousand Lotus of Hell Style was preferably used with a sword, nothing was stopping him from complementing it with other weapons.

The only request Zeru had when asked to perform the task was to utilise Jin's Bam and Boo They were not only able to change their shape to whatever he needed, but they were also the sturdiest weapons to withstand Zeru's usage. They had been made from the closest material to a particularly divine ore, Mythra-Orichalcum, which his own sword was composed with.

However, in terms of sharpness, strength and durability, it was akin to comparing a Grade F and Grade SSS item. There was no metal in Jin's world that could triumph against Zeru's sword and with good reason. This was a material which the System had managed to obtain by luck through its years buying and selling in the Inter World Black Market. Even Vulcan, the creator of the sword, had no idea about the divine ore being inside the sword until the System performed an analysis after the sword was completed.

It was a lucky break for Zeru who had demanded a sword that would never be destroyed the moment he was recruited by the System. The System back then did not believe that there would be a sword which would never break, so it had used what it could find to make it as sturdy as possible.

The result, however, was everything Zeru dreamt it. Naturally, after making this revelation, the System had also attempted to create copies of Zeru's sword. Still, the lack of Mythra-Orichalcum ore made every other replica obsolete and absolutely inferior.

Two of those more successful failures had resulted in Jin's Bam and Boo. The dungeon supplier had no idea he was holding onto a replica of Zeru's sword, especially since the System had imbued it with the ability to change to other possible shapes to compensate for its inferiority.

\"Peppers, are you ready?\" Zeru held on to Jin's Bam and Boo as he inserted chi into the two swords for it to change into a bow and arrow.

\"You sure, you can penetrate a hole through that thick magical shield?\" Peppers asked as she not only held onto one staff but two of them. In order to shape her magical attack into a blast that could slip through the defences, she had to use a second staff to modulate and cast her magical attack.

\"It will definitely be more than enough for a skilled person like you,\" Zeru answered without reserve and it filled Peppers with much elation.

\"Then I shall hold you to your word.\" The mage bellator stabbed her two wooden staffs onto the ground before a magical rainbow string wrapped around the two.

It was strung up so high, that the little mage had to jump and use all her weight to pull it to her waist. But even when she was doing it, her mouth was already busy chanting the incantations of her revised explosive spell. The System's restraint orders had prompted her to refine the highest level of explosive spell so that the magical density per square meter was higher than usual.

At the same time, Zeru pulled the bowstring of BamBoo while he quietly inserted an absurd amount of chi into it. If any other weapon were to receive such an enormous amount of chi, it would most probably break upon absorption. Though BamBoo was able to hold the chi, there were already telltale signs of damage occurring to it already with minor cracks at the edge of the bow.

\"Hold it in Bam and Boo. I know you can handle far worse.\" Zeru whispered as he tightened his grip on the bow handle to aim for a probable spot where Peppers could synchronise her shot with his too.

And with one deep breath in, the Sword Saint hardened his leg stance to prevent any blowback affecting the shot.

\"FIRE!\" Peppers shouted.

Her orb of intense magic was released from the makeshift 'rubberband' catapult using her wooden staffs. It was released with such force that Peppers fell backwards and her second wooden staff splintered from the impact.

If not for Ayse's new and improved magic absorption crystal jacket which Peppers could now hide under her baggy 'Sage' clothes, the backlash from the Universal Mana Pool would have rendered her unconscious and thus unfit for combat for the rest of the battle.

Sadly, Peppers had once again broken a track record, and her jacket packed with crystals broke as the gems could not handle the density of mana Peppers had portrayed.

In the meantime, Zeru exhaled his breath upon her command and so did the arrow that was previously nocked on BamBoo.

Countess Dantalion? Flower Knights? So what if she had a legion of Flower Wyverns? When it came to flowers, never joke with the Sword Saint.

For he was the one and only true Lotus Flower Cultivator.
