The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 194 Trial and Chance Encounter

Ciel and Chun entered the dungeon together with two pieces of equipment. They looked down upon the monsters on the upper floors and entered the nineteenth floor directly.

Soon the two found a suitable target - the tapir bear, a monster that began to appear on the nineteenth floor.

Although it is a huge bear-shaped monster, the tapir bear's strength and endurance are not as good as those of the Minotaur, which is also in the middle layer. Instead, its speed is quite outstanding.

On the way here, Ciel had told Chun the abilities of these two weapons, and also told her that he had obtained the [Mystery].

Of course Chun couldn't wait to experience the capabilities of this special weapon.

Aiming at the tapir bear, Chun directly threw the hammer of return. The short-handled war hammer even produced a sonic boom when it flew out, directly hitting the tapir bear that had not yet reacted.

The hit tapir bear was instantly shattered into pieces, exploding into a black mist, and even the magic stone was shattered.

Of course, this is not because the Hammer of Return possesses the crushing power of the prototype Mjolnir. It is entirely because of Tsubaki's terrifying wrist strength.

As a blacksmith with dwarven blood, Tsubaki's strength and endurance are extremely powerful even among first-level adventurers, so even ordinary throws have powerful destructive power.

Chun opened her palm, and the hammer that continued to fly after smashing the tapir bear's body flew back and landed in her hand.

After swinging the hammer, Chun said with a smile: "This hammer feels really good and is very powerful. So what are you dissatisfied with, Ciel?"

From Tsubaki's perspective as a blacksmith, the Hammer of Return is already an excellent work. It is an indestructible piece of equipment with special abilities, and there are few pieces of equipment in Orario that can match it.

There was some unhappiness in Chun's tone, but it was not directed at Ciel but because of herself.

Orario's best blacksmith, this is not only the title everyone gives Chun, but also Chun's own pride.

Tsubaki has been working hard to be worthy of this title. However, there are younger members of his family who have the ability to forge magic swords even better than him.

Tsubaki was not jealous of Welf, but chose to work hard to improve herself. Unexpectedly, another Ciel who mastered [mystery] appeared.

The younger generation chased her too closely, which made her a little irritated. Of course, what followed was a stronger fighting spirit.

And she would never tell others about this feeling.

Charles also sighed and said: "Maybe it's just not as perfect as expected! But it's true that I was too impatient, and it's pretty good to be able to do it now."

Charles took a sure shot and aimed at another tapir bear that appeared out of nowhere.

Ciel could feel that the lock on the spear in his hand had taken effect, so he directly threw the sure-hit spear.

The reason why Gungnir is called the Meteor Gun is because it flies like a meteor streaking across the sky.

With Ciel's arm strength no weaker than Chun's, the sure-hit spear also has the style of a prototype artifact.

The tapir bear spotted the two of them from the beginning, and it was an agile monster, so it immediately started to dodge.

Unexpectedly, the sure-hit gun drew an arc in mid-air and pierced the tapir bear's body, nailing it to the big tree.

The tapir bear turned directly into black mist, and the magic stone fell to the ground.

Ciel didn't use any skills when he threw it just now. The arc was the trajectory that the sure-hit gun corrected by itself.

Charles walked over and pulled out the bullet that was nailed to the tree.

The results of the preliminary experiments are pretty good, and the next step is to implement more details.

For example, are there any restrictions on the distance and time of the returning hammer? Will it be unable to return to its owner because it has been too long or too far away?

What are the limits of the sure-hit gun, how far away the target can be locked, how long the pursuit distance is...etc. These are all data that can only be obtained through experiments.

After getting rid of his impatience, Ciel clearly realized that his current level could not produce rules-level equipment.

Sure enough, the result was just as Ciel expected. The sure-hit gun could not lock on the target outside the sight, but it would not stop even if the target fled no matter how far it hit the target.

But as long as the target's defense is strong enough, or it's simply violently intercepted, the surefire shot won't cause much damage.

The limitation of the returning hammer lies in its distance. As long as it is out of sight, it cannot be returned to its owner.

Seeing Ciel's disgusted look, Chun couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger.

Isn’t it amazing to have [mystery]? I’m still not satisfied with creating such magical equipment.

However, this experiment also allowed Ciel to understand where the limits of his current abilities were, and the next plan to recreate the artifact also had some direction.

The two of them completed their goal and started to return. Unexpectedly, they met a familiar person as soon as they arrived at Rivera Town on the 18th floor.

"Rivelia, Dione, Diona, what a coincidence, why are you here?"

Chun saw an acquaintance and ran over while waving hello.

Riveria looked at Chun who was running over and said, "It's Chun!"

Tiona said: "Also, Brother Charles, I heard before that you had a fight with a (fierce) member of the Frena Familia. Is this true?"

Riveria grabbed Tiona and said, "Tiona, it's so rude to ask someone such a question directly!"

Charles said: "It's okay, this is not a rude question."

Riveria smiled and said: "As long as you don't care! But it's a bad time for you to come. Something quite troublesome has happened to Rivera."

Chun asked: "Is this why you are here? Isn't it because the guild has assigned you another mission?"

Riveria sighed and said: "It's more troublesome than the guild's mission. Let's talk about it somewhere else!"

With that said, Riveria took the lead and led the group to a tavern. Entering the tavern, Ciel saw Finn, Grace, Ace and other members of the Loki Familia.

Oh, and Bert! This was the first time Charles saw Bert since the day of the Mistress of Harvest. He didn't look much different, except that he looked tired, as if he hadn't rested for a long time.

Seeing Riveria walking in with Charles, he subconsciously hid in the shadows, deceiving himself into thinking that others could not see him.

Losing his temper after drinking, like being a sophomore in high school, has always been the biggest source of dark history in life. What's more, Bert also harmed the interests of his family because of it, which made him unable to hold his head high.

Ciel was not in the mood to provoke him. He was more concerned about what happened that caused the elites of the Loki Familia to appear on the eighteenth floor.

Then Charles saw something on the table, which was a transparent crystal ball the size of two fists. The strange thing was that there was a green baby inside.

Ciel looked at Finn, who nodded and said, "Yes, we got the monster larvae you mentioned, and this incident also came from this."
