Chapter 657: The Concept Of Weaponization
Erica panted for breath as the flames around her slowly faded.
She was so exhausted that she felt like dying.
Originally, she thought that she was invincible in the sky, but Thirteen brought her down a peg by making Sherry use a special strategy against the Sorceress.
When they were still in the Fractured Heaven, Erica and Sherry both gained Rank 4 Steel Falcon Avatars, while Diana gained Steel Falcon wings as an equipped item.
Thirteen had been teaching Sherry Aerial Warfare because she had never tried it in the past.
The teenage boy had prepared a saddle just for her, allowing her to mount the Steel Falcon's back safely.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
There was even a special seatbelt that allowed her to freely use her hands and shoot arrows from the sky.
Fortunately, Sherry was one of those people who didn't have a fear of heights, which was enough to make her an ideal Aerial Knight.
A Rank 4 Steel Falcon was not only fast, but it was also a very deadly monster.
Its wings were as hard as steel and could slice off the enemies it attacked in the air like a sword.
Its razor-sharp claws and feathers, which it could use as range attacks, were just as deadly as its entire body, making it a true killer in the skies.
For this battle, Erica fought against Sherry, and the Sorceress' earlier confidence disappeared the moment the Steel Falcon performed maneuvers that made it almost impossible for her to hit.
Even if she used magic bullets, the Steel Falcon would simply raise its wings like a shield, nullifying one of Erica's Trump Cards.
Just like Thirteen's Monster Army, he had a way to make the Steel Falcon evolve into an Adamantine Falcon, a true terror in the sky.
Thirteen even fed the Falcon two scales of the Ancient Eight-Headed Serpent, increasing the strength of its steel-like body, and making it more resistant to magical and physical attacks.
The Impetus for its evolution was to gain enough combat experience while getting hit by spells or physical attacks.
"Weaponization?" Erica frowned. "What's that?"
Thirteen pondered a bit so that he could think of a way on how he could explain
Weaponization to Erica.
He wanted to make it as simple as possible so that the young lady wouldn't complain
afterward.
"You summon Flame Spears, right?" Thirteen inquired.
"I do," Erica answered.
"Those spears only look like spears," Thirteen explained. "But in the end, they're just made completely out of fire. In short, the only thing they could do was deal fire damage to your
enemy.
"However, what if you are able to give it substance? Instead of a spear made up of flames, what if you can make it like a real spear, with flames coating its body? That's what you call,
Weaponization.
"It is a skill that will allow your elemental attacks to have physical forms. Mind you- this is not exclusive to flame spears. If you do it right, your Fireballs will transform into blazing meteors that will deal greater damage once they hit.
"If your enemy is resistant to magic but weak to physical attacks, they will be annihilated with your Meteor. The same can be said for your Flame Spears. If they truly transform into spears coated in flames, they will deal Piercing Damage, breaking through the target's defenses and dealing extra damage."
Erica wasn't stupid. She was able to visualize what Thirteen meant, which seemed to have opened a whole new world to her.
"If your Magic Bullets truly transform into bullets, they will be extremely dangerous because they have the ability to lock in on their targets like homing missiles," Thirteen stated. "However, mastering Weaponization is not an easy thing to do. You need to train hard to achieve the bare minimum to pass my training."
Thirteen then took out a hand towel from his storage ring and draped it over Erica's head before walking away to talk to Sherry and praise her for her Aerial Battle.
Erica felt bad earlier, but now, she seemed to have reached some kind of enlightenment, which would allow her to become three times more deadlier than ever before.
