Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 690 - 652 Breakthrough Imminent

Chapter 690: Chapter 652: Breakthrough Imminent Chapter 690: Chapter 652: Breakthrough Imminent Due to the severe injuries he had sustained in the previous war, Rocky was still unable to leave his bed, so he had no choice but to ask Liliya to invite Orton and the others to his bedroom.

“Kid, how’s it going? Will you be able to move again in the future?”

Upon seeing Rocky, Hammerfire simply stepped up onto a stool and sat by his bed, then gloatingly asked.

“Not bad, I’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”

“Kid, you didn’t suffer those injuries in vain—it’s precisely through battle that we’ve discovered many deficiencies in the White Demon. The opponents you faced before were too weak. Now, it looks like if you really encounter a high-level demon, the White Demon’s performance is still not sufficient.”

“But don’t worry, we’ve already begun making modifications.”

Sitting beside Rocky, Hammerfire just went on and on.

The reason Rocky had sustained such severe injuries this time was that he had fought continuously with two high-level demons, and although the second-generation White Demon Armor he wore had undergone significant enhancement, even equipped with a weapon like the Magic Fang Scythe—an elite weapon—it still proved inadequate when facing multiple high-level demons.

But as Hammerfire said, they had already started making improvements.

“Rocky, you had us come here for some matter, right?”

After Hammerfire’s prolonged discussion, Aniye, who was sitting to the side, spoke up, well aware that Rocky hadn’t summoned them to discuss the White Demon Armor, but rather he had something else, more important, to discuss.

“Teacher, I wanted to ask about the third counteroffensive war.”

“What do you mean?”

“Teacher, I’ve already discussed it with Athena just now…”

Turning to Aniye and the others, Rocky repeated Athena’s previous speculations, then said, “We need to accelerate our research progress.”

While speaking, Rocky turned to Orton, “Teacher, can the Elemental Rune be applied now?”

Elemental Rune!

As mentioned before, Orton had made significant breakthroughs in his rune research. It was precisely because of such breakthroughs that Rocky dared to apply runes comprehensively. After achieving this breakthrough, his mastery of runes had reached a height unreachable by outsiders, to the extent that even if others were aware of the runes’ existence or even if they obtained them, they could maintain an absolute lead.

And this breakthrough was the attribute transformation of the runes!

As for research in this area, Orton had already been working on it for some time, but unfortunately, he was alone initially, so the progress was quite slow. However, after Aniye and the others joined, research in this area greatly accelerated, especially in the last six months. About half a year ago, Thunderhawk City had its own research and development team, and under the concerted efforts of the entire team, the research on rune attribute transformation finally yielded its final results!

It is well-known that, with the limitations of Magic Stones, significant breakthroughs in the total amount of Mana have been difficult to achieve, so people had already started to improve the quality of Mana, researching how to make fuller use of limited Mana, of which Magic Energy Attribute Transformation is the most important aspect.

In this field of research, Uranus Corporation was somewhat ahead. Their Sixth-generation Armor, which they were developing, focused on Magic Energy Attribute Transformation and had already achieved preliminary results. Following closely was Sigma Corporation, whose sixth-generation armor was slightly behind, but their research on Magic Energy Attribute Transformation had accumulated considerable experience. Other companies and forces were also working hard in this area, including The Three Great Alliances and even the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce.

However, even Uranus Corporation, which was leading in this area, had not yet fully mastered this technology; at most, they had grasped only a fraction of it. In contrast, Orton had already achieved it—he was already able to successfully use runes for the attribute transformation of Mana!

This breakthrough was nothing short of shocking, and once announced, it would undoubtedly shake the entire world!

However, this matter was a secret to everyone, known only to Rocky and four others including Orton. Even those who participated in the research didn’t know, due to the segmented management approach employed, where each person was only responsible for specific fields and projects.

Actually, according to Rocky’s original plan, the research on the Elemental transformation of runes was supposed to wait a while longer before being put into practical application, because this technology was too advanced and too dangerous, and needed to undergo numerous tests before it could be truly used.

Unfortunately, plans never keep up with changes. The situation he was in, as well as the world’s geopolitical landscape, were undergoing drastic alterations. The original plans were no longer viable, and he had to adapt to the circumstances.

“Teacher, if Athena’s predictions are accurate, which I believe they are, it won’t be long before The Three Great Alliances set their sights on us, and this time they won’t use underhanded tactics. They’ll come at us directly, so we need to be prepared,”

“Do you think they will directly attack Backhill Village?”

Rocky’s words made Aniye and the others frown, then Orton asked.

“No, I don’t think so. They’re afraid we might destroy all our research findings, so they probably won’t attack directly. That’s our advantage, so we must use it and also accelerate our efforts.”

“What do you plan to do?”

“New Armor.”

Looking towards the four people, Rocky spoke, “I need new armor, the Third Generation White Demon Armor centered around Elemental runes.”

“Is that enough?”

“No, of course not, but that’s all I need from the teachers. As for other matters, I’ll figure out a way.”

“Alright.”

Nodding, Orton looked at Rocky, “Kid, no matter what you plan, make it skilled. Don’t let those bastards get too pleased. Let them know how formidable we are!”

“Don’t worry, teacher.”

With a slight smile towards Orton and the others, Rocky watched them leave. He then sent someone to find Archimonde.

In recent days, Archimonde was extremely happy, no, ecstatic because of the demon attacks.

For most people, the previous demon attacks were undoubtedly a disaster, but for some, particularly arms dealers like the Apple Tree Corporation, it was not.

Due to the massive losses in the demon attacks, the business of warships at the Apple Tree Corporation was booming, as was the armor business. Although until now no one had obtained the genuine Thunderhawk Armor, because Rocky had emphasized in the press conference that the Thunderhawk Armor was specifically designed to combat Flying Demons, the wave of orders had surged towards the corporation post-attack. Archimonde currently held thousands of armor orders, definitely enough for both the corporation and Rocky to make a hefty profit.

Under these circumstances, when he met with Rocky, his face was filled with smiles, and upon hearing Rocky’s words, he was nearly overjoyed!

“Archimonde, does the corporation have any interest in Rune Battleships?”

Watching Archimonde, Rocky slowly asked.
