Chapter 1306 Bones Is The Answer

These defences couldn't stop the weakening blasts, nor could they stop the sharp limbs and tails of the melee or the flying types of Silence.

Not to mention the last type was just like the nuclear bombs humans used to make before the apocalypse, just like the type of bombs the research department developed before coming here.

In brief, all the current defences and gears were considered useless.

[Well… To be honest, you got something that can help] but the words he just said made me curious about what artefact I had and could stop these folks.

Was it my Libra? But it was a single target use artefact. Was it my pillar? Was my shields enough to stop these scary folks?

[Don't think about it, I bet you'll never guess what it is]

[Oh! You got my attention dude! Tell me, what is it?]

[It's your bones]

[...]

To be honest, I never expected such an answer. My bones? How were they useful?

The only thing I thought about was using my dark realm bones to bring out a deadly fire and kill these enemies off.

However that wasn't what he was talking about. We were talking about defences and how to stop these enemies from breaching them.

[Your bones are special, I believe you do know that. If you use them in a certain way, then you can activate their hidden energy and form some sort of an area that will be lethal to these enemies. In addition to that, you can use your bones in the same way to boost your defences, turning them into something that can withstand the attacks of that race]

[You mean they release an aura around, affecting the enemies and also my defences? What about my forces?]

[The energy released from your bones can only interfere with the type of energy running through the veins of the Silence race members] he paused before adding:

[In fact this way was considered a theory for so long that others considered it as some sort of a myth or something. But when your bones appeared, they became hot cake for many reasons, and this reason is one of these]

[Hmm… I see…] If the ones taking part in this kind of quests were considered potential sovereigns, and many of them lost their lives during these adventures, then it'd make sense how crazy the big races would be to get their hands over my bones.

[Then tell me about this way] All of this talk was great, but I needed to know the recipe before cooking the food. If he refused to tell me, I'd end up with nothing but a useless bunch of bones.

If what he said was true, then I could use my bones to augment my defences. However, something told me things weren't that easy at all.

[I'll send the way over to you right away, but there is something you have to know first…]

As I expected, there was a catch to such an awesome solution.

But when I heard about this, I couldn't help but smile.

"So the bones will keep releasing their energy for a limited period of time. They have to be replaced all the time, and so that method consumes tons of my bones… Hahahaha!"

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard about such a catch. It might be something hard and challenging for anyone else but me.

After all, the source of the bones in the entire universe came solely from me. And I got tons of bones stored in my inventory.

Thankfully I followed my guts feeling and gathered up all the bones I could get before coming here.

I wasn't worried about depleting my seemingly endless reserve of bones over these battles. After all, the span of such a war was going to last for an entire year.

According to Sliverlining, using one hundred green bones would protect an area of ten miles in radius and would last for almost one day.

That might seem like little time and short distance covered by such methods. However these stats were related to my green grade bones.

For blue grade bones, using one hundred would cover a distance five times larger, and the duration would last for three up to four days.

Then my silver grade bones would cover up a distance of thirty miles in radius and would last for an entire week.

If I simply used my low grade bones, the silver grade ones, then I'd need close to four thousand and half silver bones during this one year time to protect an area of thirty mile radius.

That might seem like a crazy rate of expenditure, especially when putting in mind that the places here spanned for a million miles.

I already sent scouts to check over the places here. And I got to know that each place was like a grand square shaped area, spanning for one million miles square in surface area.

And if I thought about the worlds I had to rescue later on, then such an expenditure rate would seem insane!

However, that was correct for anyone else but me. This was a big war, and my enemies were folks of higher grades and much stronger than any foe I ever met before.

So I should expect tons of high grade bones from them. If that was true, then all I needed was for my forces to stay their ground during the early weeks of clashes, killing as many of these enemies as possible, then I'd start gathering up my bones.

If that happened, then my supply of bones would never come to an end. In fact, I even suspected I'd come out of such a war with a richer harvest than I never had a chance to get before.

As for the stats regarding the higher graded bones, Silverlining didn't have any of such data. After all, the highest grade bones I used to trade in large batches with them before were the silver grade ones.
