Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 620 Blazing Ruby

Chapter 620 Blazing Ruby

Nial stood next to the Grand Elder in the training hall where most Demihumans trained.
There was a special room for experimental works, though it was not used often.
Because the Demihumans didn't focus on researching ordinary armaments and how to advance them to become stronger as individuals, they didn't see the need to waste time and space on building a research facility to experiment with the hieroglyphs their ancestors had used to fight for their survival and hunt beasts.
The Grand Elder was not very interested in the runic armaments Nial had prepared but he heard from Godsly that Nial had requested a few specific armaments to be created out of rare ingredients. That had been a while ago. The rare ingredients were valuable resources that were actually researched to take space traveling to another level, yet Nial used these resources to create weapons and accessories.
It was only obvious that the Grand Elder thought that it was a waste of precious resources, which was clearly shown on his face as he looked at the highly purified ruby that had been mantled by a metal frame that was shaped like an orb. The ruby levitated in the metal orb exuding a searing hot heat that could be used to replace the fuel in spaceships.
The Grand Elder knew the value of the Blazing Ruby and he couldn't help but feel like crying out loud seeing a Blazin Ruby of the highest purity being wasted right in front of him.
"I heard that you guys have had more problems with beasts while traveling through space in recent days. Is that correct?" Nial asked, ignoring the Grand Elder's displeasure. Nial chose to act as if the Grand Elder was overjoyed at the sight of the Blazing Ruby Orb.
"Since we're traveling outside our territory to create small settlements of planets in the Meteorfield, we're often attacked, that's only obvious. However, we're doing fine no matter how many fatalities we have to endure!" The Grand Elder said with pride in his voice.
Nial could only shake his head, not understanding how it was fine for so many higher authorities to be fine with sacrificing their people so easily.
"You want to create a permanent foothold on these planets, and make sure that you can make as much profit as possible by harvesting resources quickly, right?" He asked another question. The Grand Elder nodded his head once again, this time silent. He noticed that Nial was trying to lead him somewhere and chose not to jump into the carefully laid out trap.
"Just tell me what you want!" The Grand Elder said, visibly angered. The longer he held the Blazing Ruby Orb, the angrier he felt for the resources that had been wasted.
"The Blazing Ruby Orb can not only be used as fuel. In fact, that is the worst way to use the Blazing Ruby," Nial said, basically declaring that the Demihumans were idiots for wasting such a precious resource as a replacement for fuel. The Grand Elder noticed the jab but he kept his mouth shut as he saw the corners of Nial's lip. His lips curled upward into a mocking smile.
"The Blazing Ruby Orb can be used as a resource to create large-scale weapons to hunt monsters and create defensive weapons for your spaceships and the artillery on the settlements you want to construct. That way, you will be able to hunt Mythician beasts in large scales, which means that you won't have to give up on more than a dozen spaceships every single year, and millions of Demihumans.
You won't have to sacrifice the spaceships and Demihumans like madmen and you will be able to decimate the dangers around you." Nial explained calmly while pointing at the Blazing Ruby Orb.
"Of course, you won't believe me, but I believe that you are able to inject some mana into the Blazing Ruby Orb and that you can witness the destructive power of my most recent creation on your own," He pointed out while adding, "Though, I recommend that we move somewhere else, otherwise, you might cause a little bit too much ruckus and dama—..."
Nial was not even able to end his sentence as the Trixor-ranked Grand Elder injected a tremendous amount of mana inside the Blazing Rub Orb. Without him realizing it, the Grand Elder had also selected a target using the Blazing Ruby Orb with odd precision, aiming at the targets of the other side of the room.
'Does he know how to use the Orb?' Nial couldn't help but wonder when he saw how precise the Grand Elder aimed. However, Nial was also pretty sure that the Grand Elder had never been shown how to aim the Blazing Ruby Orb. This confused Nial for a moment, preventing him from intervening when he was still able to do something.
The mana inserted into the Blazing Ruby Orb activated the runic constellations that had been engraved on the metal frame and the Blazing Ruby itself. For a second or two nothing special seemed to happen as the tremendous amount of mana was compressed and circulated through the Blazing Ruby.
However, when the third second elapsed, a huge change occurred.
The temperature in the training hall increased drastically. A deafening roar shook the ground, followed by a bright flash of light that illuminated the surrounding area as a blazing-red beam was released toward the targeted area.
The layers of the metal wall were molten as the pyromantic blast continued its path ahead, engulfing and melting everything in its path.
As the blast continued, it unleashed a torrent of something that seemed like molten lava. It was passed alongside the blast that kept going until the Grand Elder terminated the use of the pyromantic blast.
"What the…" The Grand Elder mumbled, his eyes moving from the holes in the walls over to Nial who shook his head.
"...let's hope that you killed nobody…"
