Distorted World: Rise Of The Black One - Volume 3 Chapter 111 21

“As: awaken [dark oracle]”

Asher muttered the moment he said the word “dark oracle” a glitching sound like the static of a tv accompanied his voice

Pitch black particles began to form in his left hand and it coalesces into the vague shape of a tipped over L

“Oh? os ipsi aculei [bone stingers]”

With a wave of Utopia’s staft hundreds of bones formed beneath Asher and fired out, surrounding Asher with a flurry of projectiles

“As: magna deconstruction [forced deconstruction]”

The black aura around the shape dispels revealing a pistol or something akin to a large desert eagle, sleek but complicated in shape it wears a black colour with brightly lit neon blue lines focusing at the weirldy shaped barrel

From the tip of the barrel a red light formed generating a force field outward engulfing Asher and all the bones stingers coming his way

The moment the circular field touched the bone projectiles they were all atomised in the blink of an eye leaving nothing behind

Utopia bit his lip surprised by what just happened

(What? Complete destruction in less than a second? He didn’t even exert a bit of his aura when that spell he casted that spell, did that strange thing he’s holding cast the spell? No he definitely chanted, does he have a way of casting spells without using his aura? And what’s that thing supposed to be anyway?)

Taking advantage of the situation Asher pointed his pistol at the ground and fired creating a smokescreen while he hides

“As: I present to you my latest work an amalgamation of science and magic, a magitek if you will [dark oracle]”

Asher’s voice could be heard as he disappears into the white smoke

“What!?”

(As: it was quite the work, but this is a prototype gun that can transmogrify into any kind of firearms semi automatic, semi-automatic, shotguns and more even bladed weapons can be made. It also serves as a crude grimoire of sorts, firing solidified magicol bullets encrypted with spells therefore reducing the strain on my aura during battles to about 13.24% even though that doesn’t seem like much saving my aura for bigger spells can make all the difference in a battle)

(As: I first came to the idea of combining magic and sciences from my old world into weapons a few days after my creation of the second consciousnesses and the smith and Wesson 629, I wasn’t sure at first about what I was going for so a lot was just me recreating weapons from earth and researching various areas of magic, but after me and Elise’s experimentation with magicyte I came to the realisation that magic can’t only defy the laws of physics but can also strengthen it so I created a weapon that can harness the power of both while also being the epitome of all the weapon designs I made back then)

(As: although it has various limitations like limited number of magicol bullets and spells that were pre encrypted on those bullets (currently it can only fire 6 different spells), transformation into different forms takes a while depending on the complexity of that said form etc.)

(As: it should be more than enough for this battle)

“Interesting, a magic item that lets you Cast magic with just a chant without straining your aura or drawing from your magicol, you truly are an interesting subject…”

(As: actually the chanting was unnecessary, I only did it to prevent you from figuring out the guns true nature)

Utopia smirks

“Which is more of a reason why I must have you!”

A crazed smile appears on his face as he swings his bone-y staft around creating an arc of energy that forms a circle around him and firing that circle of energy

The attack vaporised the smokescreen created by Asher while causing major damage to the arena

“Now your cover is blown and there’s few places to hide in such a wide arena, where are you?”

Utopia rolls his dead like eyes around looking for Asher

(As: not good, my chances of winning this battle solely depends on how long I can survive and buy time, if he finds me too soon I’m screwed, I need to avoid direct confrontation as much as possible)

In accordance with Asher’s mental command his gun transforms into a silenced pistol

He fires one bullet at the wall of the arena and at the moment the bullet touches the wall Utopia turned in that direction

“Hmm over there?”

Hearing the sound of something hitting a wall Utopia raised his staft

“tenebris ignis [dark fire]”

Multiple balls of purple flames formed and fired at the place where Asher shot and where Utopia thinks Asher is annihilating the wall and a part of the arena along with it

Taking adavantage of this moment Asher transformed his gun into a new 2 meter cannon form and circled behind Utopia

“As: altum inspiratione calor navitas [high heat energy blast]”

A red beam fired from Asher’s cannon travelling at 1/4 the speed of light at Utopia

“What!?”

Without time to prepare the beam hit Utopia and with only a poorly made magic barrier that was easily penetrated Utopia had to rely on his runes

The beam shot through the arena carving a path of destruction through the city by generating an impressive amount of heat

In the end even Utopia was pushed back giving Asher ample time to escape and hide

(As: wow, despite being a few centuries older than me in experience he’s pretty f.u.c.k.i.n.g stupid, I can’t believe he fell for that, or does my footsteps really sound like bullets?)

“That little bastard!… fine, let’s play hide and seek then”

Utopia said standing up with nearly no visible damage on him other than being pushedback a bit by the concussive force of the beam

Utopia flew up into the sky trying to find Asher

Ducking behind a building Asher observed the Mann’s every action preparing for every situation with millions of simulations running in his head
