Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 240 - 240:113. “Throwing Money” Spell_4

(Too gruesome to reveal, hence skipped)

Noland Lee skimmed through the manufacturing method of the alchemical slaves, his scalp tingling with horror.

The illegal alchemists of the Black City were treating humans like tools and beasts.

They had installed numerous alchemical items onto the alchemical slaves, such as mechanical arms, tool bags, material packs, water containers, and so on, which was sheer madness.

Its madness rivaled the zeal of the Tatis Empire in its development of biochemical soldiers.

Noland Lee held his breath, closed the panel information of the “Alchemy Slaves,” and didn’t bother to look at their recent memories.

He tightened his grip on the firearm and began to retreat.

No messages from the system had come regarding any damage inflicted on the alchemist of Black City, indicating that the fellow had been unscathed in the explosion just now.

At this moment, there was no other sound in the vertical shaft, apart from the sound of debris sliding off the wall structure.

It was obvious that the Black City Alchemist was feigning negligence, intending to lull the Iron Thorn Shield security personnel on the third underground level into thinking he was dead.

Noland Lee was not hoodwinked by him, thanks to the System.

That Black City Alchemist, having survived unhurt, must certainly be planning a treacherous counterattack.

Noland Lee tread lightly, maintaining the magical line of sight of “Tracking the Living,” and keeping his eyes pinned on the Vertical Shaft Entrance.

“Strange, can the Black City Alchemist hold his breath that long? There isn’t a single movement… ‘

Noland Lee retreated all the way back to the corridor entrance without noticing anyone climbing up from the bottom of the vertical shaft.

He did not let his guard down, his gaze still locked onto the Wellhead. Suddenly, the small shadows wriggling at the wellhead caught Noland Lee’s attention.

As soon as those tiny shadows emerged from the Wellhead, they clung to the Mucus Carpet and swam towards Noland Lee like venomous snakes launching a rapid assault underwater.

It was noteworthy that those small shadows did not appear to be alive.

They did not have red outlines in the magical vision of “Tracking the Living.”

Noland Lee grew even more cautious and fired a deconstruction technique at the tiny shadows.

But before he could check the system messages, dozens of tiny shadows turned into black sharp arrows and shot towards him!

Noland Lee rolled aside again and again, making consecutive dodges in the corridor, and quickly retreated several meters away.

“Click, click, click…”

He couldn’t dodge in time, and several tiny shadows hit him, shattering the “Magic Shield” covering his body.

“Eh?! You are not security personnel? Who are you? How come you know the

skills of a wizard?” A surprised voice echoed in the air.

Noland Lee didn’t bother to spare any words with him.

Taking advantage of the moment the tiny shadows paused, he crouched, steadied his body, and fired several shots at the tiny shadows hovering in mid-air.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

“Whizz, whizz, whizz..

All the bullets that hit the tiny shadows turned into stray bullets darting around.

Noland Lee raised an eyebrow at the sight.

This Black City Alchemist had conjured up an object impervious to bullets!

What exactly is it?

And where is that Black City Alchemist?

Noland Lee calmly replaced the emptied revolvers, maintaining a constant output of firepower while looking at the system messages in his mind.

His expression was slightly surprised, and his face, concealed under the breathing mask, looked somewhat taken aback.

These tiny shadows were indeed the Black City Alchemist.

No, to be precise, they are the “Blackbone Hermit”!

[System Message: You have caused slight damage to “Blackbone Hermit

Kodar”.]

[Passive Deconstruction Activated!]

[Your degree of deconstruction of the target has increased from 0% to 0.08%]

[You have obtained some partial panel information:]

[Name]Kodar

[Identity] An official member of the Blackbone Secret Society, i.e., the

Blackbone Hermit [Strength] First Ring Alchemist

[Features]

Blackbone Physique:

Kodar has modified himself using evil Living Alchemy.

He has transformed his body into 10 black Alchemy Bone Fragments.

He’s lost most of his physiological capabilities, but in turn, he’s gained the extraordinary ability to disperse his body, allowing the 10 bone pieces to act separately.

Immune to Pain, Bloodless Constitution:

Kodar’s black bone physique, eliminates his pain and blood. He doesn’t experience the effects of pain and bleeding.

Immunity to Detection (partial):

When Kodar separates himself into 10 bone pieces, he enters a bone piece state, becoming a non-living entity that entirely lacks vital signs.

In this state, he can become immune to detection skills including heartbeat sensing, body temperature detection, odour tracking, Tracking the living, Tracking the evil, etc.

Only when he leaves the bone piece state and returns to human form can these detection skills work on him.

This is the result of passive deconstruction.

Noland Lee immediately grasped the key point.

The reason why his “Tracking the Living” couldn’t see human outlines was related to Kodar’s bone piece state.

When Kodar was split into 10 black bone pieces, his life signs disappeared. He was no longer a “living” being.

Therefore, “Tracking the Living” didn’t work on him. Indeed, it was a strange alchemy technique.

Noland Lee, while pondering, fired the trigger, shooting down the black bone pieces attacking him.

Kodar seemed to be probing his abilities, wanting to see if he had any other defense methods besides the ‘Magic Shield”.

After several rounds of fight, they both consistently maintained the scenario of “me shooting bone pieces and you shooting bone pieces at me” without exposing more of their cards..
