Beep-Beep
As soon as Anon placed the Magic Crystal over the Movement Trigger, a faint beeping sound emanated from the box.
"Mr. Jule, what are you doing? What if the missile targets us? We can't even stop them," Faith began to say, but before she could finish her sentence, they heard another sound.
Shhhhhh
Anon and Faith turned their attention to the source of the noise, which was rapidly approaching them.
"Mr. Jule, it's a missile," Faith said, pointing at the incoming threat.
'I can't sense them coming towards me. They're working beyond magic... They're dangerous,' Anon thought as he stood up.
"Mr. Jule, what are you doing? We have to run. That thing will kill us," Faith pleaded.
"Well, well... Only the shell of these missiles is made of pure Travertine. The explosive powder inside them remains the same," Anon explained before closing his eyes.
"Mr. Jule, please, we have to—" Faith's sentence was cut short as a white aura enveloped Anon's body.
Hup
Anon leaped off the Raven's back, landing safely on the ground. The missiles adjusted their trajectory in response to Anon's movement.
"My, my... I want to meet the person who invented these damn things," Anon said with a smile, observing the four missiles approaching him.
Boooooom
Booooom
Booooom
Booooom
All four missiles collided with Anon, creating a fiery explosion in the vicinity.
"Noooooo... Mr. Jule!" Faith shouted as she quickly dismounted the Raven and ran toward the inferno caused by the missile collision.
Faith reached the spot, crying out, "Please don't be dead... Please don't be dead..." and to her relief, she soon spotted a figure emerging from the fire.
Cough-Cough-Cough
It was Anon.
"Hello, Luv," Anon greeted with a smile as he looked at Faith.
Faith immediately embraced him and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Sob-Sob I thought... I lost you too," Faith sobbed.
"Don't worry, Luv. I won't die that easily," Anon reassured her.
"Why would you do something like that? And how did you even survive?" Faith inquired.
"Well, just magic," Anon replied with a smile as he hugged her.
'The explosive powder inside these missiles isn't that potent... The pure Travertine shell isn't impervious, but I can still feel that one or two bones might have broken when these missiles hit me. I need a weapon made of Travertine to withstand such attacks,' Anon contemplated.
"I tracked down the location where these missiles came from," Faith informed.
"Good... Let's go," Anon replied as he carried Faith in his arms and mounted the Raven.
Caawwwww
The three-eyed Raven obediently took off, following Faith's directions.
After an hour of flying, Anon and Faith arrived near a waterfall.
"I don't see anything here," Anon remarked.
"But according to my skill, the missiles were launched from this exact place," Faith explained.
"Are you sure? Can you pinpoint the exact location?" Anon inquired.
"Yes, just wait a minute," Faith replied as her eyes emitted a green glow while she focused on the waterfall.
Suddenly, a shocked expression appeared on Faith's face.
"What's wrong? Do you see something?" Anon asked upon noticing her expression change.
"It's inside the waterfall, I can see it," Faith revealed.
"Well, let's go," Anon ordered the Raven to approach the waterfall.
Cawww
The three-eyed Raven complied, descending toward the waterfall.
"Come," Anon said as he took Faith's hand, and together they leaped into the waterfall.
As they emerged on the other side, they found themselves inside a cave. The ancient cave was filled with spiderwebs, and torches were mounted on the walls.
"Wait... This place, I remember it," Faith said.
"How is that possible?" Anon asked, puzzled.
"Yes, I've been here with my father when we were very young. My father was friends with a dwarf named Fang Juker. He used this place as his lab to construct various weapons. I always thought he was mad," Faith reminisced.
"Why didn't you mention this when we were outside?" Anon wondered.
"Well, I was only five years old then. We always arrived here in a closed carriage without windows, and there was no waterfall at that time. This place must have become concealed by enchantments after his passing," Faith explained.
"How do you know he's dead? Maybe he's still inside the cave?" Anon suggested.
"It's not possible. He was 2,000 years old when I was five... He must have passed away a year or two after that," Faith replied.
Beep
A sudden beeping sound, similar to that of the movement-triggering box, interrupted their conversation.
"What's that sound?" Faith asked.
"I'm not sure," Anon responded, using his scan skill to inspect their surroundings, but he couldn't detect anything.
"Look, there's something shining over there," Faith pointed to a dimly lit area in the corner of the cave.
[Light]
Anon activated his skill, creating a small circle of light over his finger, illuminating the entire cave. The source of the light revealed a shocking discovery.
A massive missile-launching cannon stood in front of them with twelve missile launch ports, six filled with missiles and six empty. Attached to the missile-launching cannon was a device resembling the movement-triggering box, but it had only one piston and a smaller magic crystal on top.
"A receiver..." Anon remarked as he approached the device.
"Wait, Mr. Jule, it could be dangerous. What if it fires a missile here?" Faith cautioned.
"Don't worry, it won't launch any missiles unless this box receives a signal from the device that sends the movement-triggering messages. I now understand that this magic crystal is a component or broken part of the same crystal that was placed on the movement-triggering box, enabling them to send and receive signals seamlessly without any problem of distance between them.
This motherfucker used Quantum Physics to build this thing... He is one genius Dwarf. Using, Quantum entanglement in this sort of thing." Anon explained as he touched the device and noticed something unusual.
"What is Quantum Physics, Mr. Jule ? Is it like the ancient Quantum Magic ?" Faith asked with a confused expression.
"Yeah, something like that." Anon replied.
'Even I don't understand Quantum Physics that much, why are you asking me ?' Anon thought.
Upon moving the device, Anon discovered a large metallic door concealed behind the missile-launching cannon.
