‘Death Two Finger’ x10!
Dense black lightning bursts open like thunder in front of the enemy.
“Bang bang bang…”
A series of explosions come from the lifting platform, causing echoes in the large warehouse where the vertical shaft is located.
Limb fragments and black bone pieces splatter all around. After about half a minute, the noise in the vertical shaft subsides, leaving only the howling and shrieking of the aberrations startled by the explosions.
Noland Lee uses his magic wand to point at two Alchemy slaves with half of their bodies missing, turning them into his Lost Souls to clean up the battlefield for him.
The two Blackbone Hermits he just killed had First and Second Order Strength, respectively.
Noland Lee has already unlocked their standardized panel, so besides gaining over a hundred points in Soul Strength, there were no other data gains.
Noland Lee examines the recent memory fragments of the slain targets.
When the Lost Souls hand over the collected black bone pieces, Noland Lee learns the purpose of this group of visitors from the Black City.
These guys were here to investigate the situation. They were alarmed by the fighting on Underground Layers 21 and 26, and had come from Underground Layer 60 to investigate.
After carefully checking, Noland Lee learned that the other party had not returned to the Black City recently, and there were no images directly related to the Black City in the memory fragments.
But!
Noland Lee has an unexpected find!
He found a map of Underground Layers 60 to 100, as well as a lot of information related to these floors.
Besides these, a single Alchemy card appearing in the memory fragments deeply affected Noland Lee.
He grabs the collected black bone pieces from the Lost Souls and stuffs them into his Blood Haven before searching the fleshy remnants with his own hands.
After about two minutes, Noland Lee stands up with a blood-stained Alchemy card in hand, taking a deep breath:
“Damn, that was close. I’m glad this Alchemy card wasn’t destroyed by Death Lightning, or I would have missed out on a huge pile of Alchemy Weaponry.”
Noland Lee cleans the blood off his hands and the Alchemy card and solemnly puts the precious item into his Blood Haven.
He reviews the acquired memory fragments again while letting the Lost Souls clean up the battlefield for him.
After confirming the information in the memory fragments again, Noland’s eyes gleam with excitement for the prospects ahead.
Fortune is waiting for him.
As the Alchemist factions above ground work hard to recover Alchemy Weaponry, the illegal forces of the Black City are not idle either.
The two Blackbone Hermits that Noland Lee just killed, besides patrolling Underground Layer 60, were also responsible for recovering Alchemy Weaponry.
Since they are not attacked by aberrations, their efficiency in collecting Alchemy Weaponry far exceeds that of the Alchemists on the ground level.
They hoard the collected Alchemy Weaponry in a large warehouse.
The Alchemy card that Noland Lee treasures deeply serves as the key card to open this warehouse.
If Noland were to go there now, unlock the warehouse, he would see mountains of Alchemy Weaponry.
The only trouble is that he will have to go on a killing spree.
That’s because the warehouse storing the hoarded Alchemy Weaponry is located in the deepest part of Underground Layer 60, the Machinery Factory that spawns aberrations. Since the destruction of the Artificial Nest in the Savage Stone Wasteland, the Machinery Factory in the Fissure Corridor has been on high alert.
Now, guarding the Machinery Factory in Underground Layer 60 are not just Blackbone Hermits and Alchemy Slaves, but also a few other illegal forces from the Black City.
Noland Lee has already figured out the specific situations of these illegal forces in the memory fragments.
Split Demon Society, specializing in Living Alchemy, is one of the Black City’s illegal forces controlling the ‘Split Demon’ Alchemy Weaponry. Once the Alchemy Weaponry is activated, the Split Demon Alchemists can divide their bodies into several parts, each part becoming a separate clone. These clones can cooperate or act independently. As long as they don’t all die, the ‘Split Demon’ will not die completely.
Steam Supremacy Society, specializing in Living Alchemy and Steam Alchemy, controls the ‘Anthropomorphic Steam’ Alchemy Weaponry. Upon activating the Alchemy Weaponry, they can turn themselves into high-temperature steam people. Their bodies are entirely composed of light water droplets, making them virtually immune to kinetic damage, and they can quickly recover from physical injuries by absorbing water and steam.
Alloy Skeleton Society, specializing in Living Alchemy and Metal Alchemy, controls the Alchemy Weaponry of the same name. The Gold Bone Alchemists of this illegal force are very extreme; they have completely abandoned their flesh and blood, and even put all their souls into Alchemy Stones. The Alchemy Stone has become their brain and their body has been replaced by an alloy skeleton.
Compared to Metal Series Wizards, the advantage of Gold Bone Alchemists is that they can freely replace their alloy bodies. If one set of alloy skeletons breaks, it’s not a problem. With just a thought, they can take out another set from the Alchemy Stone to replace the damaged alloy body.
The key is that these madmen have installed an Automatic Repair of Alloy Body Alchemical Array inside the Alchemy Stones. As long as the alloy materials in the Alchemy Stones are not consumed, they will never run out of bodies to use.
More importantly, each Gold Bone Alchemist has Sage Particles in a loop to continuously produce alloy materials, making their logistics and supply abilities astonishing.
The above three illegal forces from the Black City are the main personnel guarding the Machinery Factory. Blackbone Hermits are mostly responsible for operating the Machinery Factory and maintaining the mechanical devices inside.
