I kept driving until it was five in the evening before I chose to stop for the night. We had left the grasslands and entered a more desert area. The Queendom of Nya is in an area like the Middle East; it's not completely desert-like, but parts of the Queendom fall under that terrain.
"Ladies, stay near the Humvee and don't come over to the area I will be at; this is for your safety," I said, before walking 500 meters away, where I would draw on the ground before placing the magic duct. I plan to make several more rare ranks before doing the epic and then the legendary rank last, as I want to test out my idea.
I had already separated the different kinds of magic bullets from their casings. I put the fire and wind magic .45 ACP round bullets in the circles and walked back to the place I had to put my hands on. Pulling out a half dome of Nightshade steel with a cutout at the bottom of it, so that the diagram could go under it.
This made a wall between me and the diagram as I entered it and placed my hands on the two spots. I began to pour my magic into it, making it ignite as the two rounds started to float and move towards each other. Their magic started to burst out, but it could only slam into the four inches of Nightshade steel, doing nothing as they finally merged.
I couldn't use the other type of metals, as one would have blocked the magic, and the others had issues of their own. But the Nightshade steel was more than enough to handle this amount of power as I walked over and picked up the round. A prompt showed up before me.
[ Would you like to learn how to make the Raging Fire ammunition? Yes or No. ]
I pressed yes before redoing the magic dust and placing the next set of rounds. This time, it was lightning and fire. The bullet's name from this combination was Burst Lightning ammunition, which I learned to make. Looking over the Nightshade steel and finding no damage made me smile as I moved on to the next one.
It was Dark and Lightning now; those two made Black Lightning ammunition, adding it to my list of creations. What followed next was Ominous Wind ammunition and Black Flame ammunition. This was the last of the Rare rank magic ammunition. Now, I was getting into untested waters with the Epic Rank ones.
The first up was wind, lightning, and fire. After redrawing the diagram and putting them in the three circles, I walked back and placed my hands on the two circles. I poured my mana into it, and the moment the three rounds floated. A 100-meter-tall fire tornado, shooting lightning out of it, bursts up into the air.
This was way more violent than the Rare rank, but that is to be expected, as it's meant to be more powerful. The Nightshade steel held up, letting out a sigh of relief as it started to calm down after a few minutes. As I lifted my hands from the diagram and stepped out from behind the cover of the Nightshade steel, I noticed it had a slight red glow.
Telling me that it was hot, but other than that, it was fine. I went to pick up the round when a new prompt appeared.
[ Do you wish to learn how to make the Raging Firestorm ammunition? Yes or No? ]
It asked me, and of course, I pressed yes. This was my first Epic rank ammunition, and I couldn't wait to test it out. But for now, I will need to stay as I still have three more Epic ranks and one Legendary rank to make.
Fixing the diagram and placing the Darkness round where the Fire one was, I started again. This time, a gust of black wind and black lightning burst forth, slamming into the Nightshade steel, shaking it as I heard the ground around the area shatter from the wind and lightning. A chilling hollow came from the diagram area in front of me before slowly quieting down.
As I stopped pouring my mana into the diagram once it was finished, I stepped out from behind my cover, and this time. I noticed one-inch-deep cuts inside the steel, making me gulp, since I knew how strong this steel was. I walked over and picked up the round.
It was called Hollowing Thunderstorm ammunition. I pressed yes on it as I worked on finishing the next two. Replacing the wind with fire ended up making a round called Oblivion's Wrath, as it combined the three strongest destructive elements I had, so much so that I had to replace the Nightshade steel, as it almost got through it.
Upping the thickness of the Nightshade steel, now it was the Legendary rank, making me gulp as I was salivating at the thought of how strong it was going to be. Placing the four rounds in the four spots, I walked behind the now five inches of Nighshade steel. Putting my hands on the spot, I could hear my heartbeat.
So much power, so many possibilities for war, this was making me excited. As I started to pour my mana into the diagram, the ground started to tremble as the night sky began to glow like a rainbow. What was going on? As the tremors grew more violent just before the magic slammed into the Nightshade metal shook violently.
The ground started to make waves, like someone who dropped a rock into a pond. I began to hear the metal screech. "That's not good! The metal can't handle this strain, unfucking real. That's five inches of the hardest metal I know." I said to myself.
Returning my focus to making the round, I prayed that the metal held on. With each passing second, I heard the metal making slow cracks until part of it finally gave way and blew off, revealing to me a giant black ord with black flames, black lightning, and ominous black wind launching everywhere.
The Orb had to be 400-450 meters in diameter. It was floating about 50 meters in the air as the ground kept shaking beneath it; the hole below it was about 200 meters deep. As I heard the metal cracking once more, it was at this time that the Orb started to shrink in size, and the violent magic slowly died down until a small black dot fell to the ground.
As the dust finally died down and the last of the Nightshade steel fell apart, making me gulp, it wasn't even hit directly. Just being near it was enough to destroy it. As I walked down the crater the round made, I stopped in front of the bullet, picked it up, and smirked as a prompt appeared.
[ Do you want to learn how to make Oblivion's Destruction ammunition? Yes or No?]
I quickly pressed my eyes as my right wrist began to glow brightly as a crest with a hammer and fire wrapping around that wrist, and as I looked over at the screen, I froze.
