Chapter 740 Solution
"Yes, I know a lot about it. Why do you ask?" asked Elder Forgus coldly.
Noticing the hostile tone in Elder Forgus, Angus immediately clarifies the situation clearly. Based on the public lack of information and knowledge about radiation, Angus knows this information is sensitive and dangerous.
Even in Angus' past life, where any information could easily be searched, detailed information about nuclear and fission processes was never shown to the public. Therefore, Angus wasn't surprised to get such a reaction from the old dwarf.
"We are trying to approach the colossal monster. But, there is a death zone filled with radiation... I mean Avalon's curse. Is there any way to bypass it?" asked Angus.
The radiation zone is a deadly wasteland. Even in Angus' previous life, humans can still not find a good solution to recover this wasteland despite already developed more destructive nuclear weapons.
In fact, Angus has the solution to going through this wasteland safely. However, it will only apply to him and Jayna. As for Anna, he is also confident the little girl will not be affected by it. Her body physiology is entirely on a different scale than others.
Still, Angus is reluctant to abandon the other dwarves, that may be able to help them fight against the monster. Even if they could only become cannon fodder, they still have their own use for Angus.
Hearing this, Angus is certain that some forces or people have already researched nuclear weapons in the past.
"Ahhh... So, that's why you ask about the Avalon Curse. Why don't you say so?!! I thought you were trying to develop or research this power? Hahahaha..." laughed Elder Forgus carelessly.
Hearing this, Angus is certain that some forces or people have already researched nuclear weapons in the past.
'Otherwise, Elder Forgus' reaction will not be so hostile to Angus. Even if he is the only survivor from the Kilmik incident, this kind of hostile reaction is too much.' thought Angus inwardly.
"I created some armor and suits to resist Avalon's curse. However, this suit is already taken by the previous dwarf force that I sent to contain the curse. I am unsure if there are still some left." said Elder "Contain the curse before?!" asked Angus in confusion.
"Yeah... That mad beastman is truly one of the strongest combatants in the world. He could even use Avalon's ability, though on a smaller scale.
"Based on my observation, it seems he released another cursed attack as the curse is stronger than before, " said Elder Forgus, glancing at the death zone on the horizon.
"Wait.. Wait... You mean the radiation... I mean.. the curse is created by that Warchief Might?!!" said Angus in surprise.
"Yeah. Even I wouldn't believe it if I didn't witness it with my own eyes. That attack practically killed all of us. If it is not for my high immunity, I will also become a corpse by now. It seems the rumor about him meeting with Avalon face-to-face is true." replied Elder Forgus solemnly.
"Urgh... This is crazy. Wait... If this is produced by that mad lion, we still have a chance." said Angus before looking at Jayna.
The young couple talks to each other through their bond before Jayna suddenly makes a worried frown expression. In response, Angus replied with a deep sigh on a helpless face.
"Fine. But, stay close to me." said Angus shortly.
In these few seconds, Angus and Jayna talk a lot of things about the radiation zone and its danger. With his natural endurance and regeneration, Angus could walk off the radiation without worry. Since Jayna also has absurd phoenix regeneration, she will also be fine.
He knows this based on his past life experience. Not to mention this radiation zone, Angus even manages to survive against a nuclear bomb in the past.
His monstrous feat and fame make many superpower nations fear him and launch their most destructive nuclear weapon in the hope of eradicating him. The worst thing is that his location was a small island, not larger than an average nation.
This forces him to bear the full force of explosion and radiation at almost point-blank range without a way of escape. In this dangerous situation, his talent, body, and mind work full power to create a new defensive skill.
The skill is similar to ordinary chi body coating but isolates the body from the world. Unfortunately, this skill consumes too much chi and stamina. He didn't dare to use it casually.
Based on his first-hand experience, Angus knows he could offset the radiation effect on his body with his natural endurance and regeneration. His growth is not only in physical power or mind but also in his endurance.
In fact, Angus' endurance has already reached a terrifying level where he could receive a fourth-grade attack with only a superficial wound. However, he didn't habitually let others hit him or defend him against an attack.
"Alright, Elder Forgus. Did you know where these dwarves force you to talk about? Or is there any armor spare?" asked Angus.
"Hmm... They should be dead by now. When the monster arrives, it destroys the barrier containment and spreads the previous curse further."
"The shockwave and intense curse may penetrate their armor. Even if they get lucky to survive, they may not have a long life." said Elder Forgus in a gloomy tone.
"So, there is really no other way. Wait... barrier?! How about applying it to Porky to protect us? Is it still possible?" asked Angus.
"Well, it may take much work and time since this pig is huge. A single leak could spill our doom. But... I don't think it will also reduce our method in fighting against that monster."
"You may not know this, but that thing is fighting three seventh graders and even dozens of other dwarves in the area. Though the dwarves are only using a large-range attack, it is still quite a force when everyone combines together." said Elder Forgus.
"I could try to produce the armor again. Still, it takes a lot of time to equip everyone here. By then, I doubt everyone could hold out against the monster." added Elder Forgus.
"Don't worry about it. The only one that fights it in close combat is us. You dwarves and others only need to provide us with Forgus.
long-range support from Porky." said Angus.
"Hmmm... That's quite a feasible idea. If it is just one or two pieces of armor, I could still make it. But are you sure about this? I don't even have confidence in fighting against that thing." said Elder Forgus.
"It's fine. Also, there is no need to make armor for us. We have our own ways to protect against this curse. You just have to barrier Porky properly for everyone surviving in this deadly zone." said Angus.
"Well, if you already made up your mind, then sure. If it is only making a barrier rune, it will take less time than making armor. You are truly worthy as someone being recognized by Balrug and Borkins." said Elder Forgus with a respectful tone.
Since the start of the conversation, Angus didn't notice that Elder Forgus's tone was amiable. It is not because he wasn't aware of the death of dwarves in his hand but because of his genuine respect for the young human.
Combined with his previous qualification of Soulfire and his talent as a weapon master, Elder Forgus held a high respect towards Angus. Thinking about this, Forgus even cursed the stupid Dumrod from making enemies of Angus and his little family.
Although Angus and the others hide their aura and power, Forgus can still feel the terrifying power in their body. He has only felt this kind of aura from talented and strong people.
As Elder Forgus starts working on the barrier runes, Porky flies in the air around the perimeter of the death zone. They also occasionally rescue more dwarves that almost get overwhelmed by the minions.
Meanwhile, a clicking and machine engine sound was heard inside a hidden room deep underground below the Undermine Council. In this room, Dumrod looked at the transparent glass jar before him.
Inside the tube, a fist-size black rock covered hovering on it. Some strand of mysterious green light poke and slowly covers the black rock. Suddenly, the silent black rock seems to melt and liquify into an unknown black substance.
The black liquid sucked by the machine is connected to the glass jar and processed slowly through an unknown method. A few moments later, the liquid entered into a smaller glass tube with a unique syringe.
Looking at the finishing product, "Finally, all the preparation is done. The dwarf race will soon arise." muttered Dumrod with a crazy smile before taking the syringe carefully.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the preparator who created all this mess is ready to execute his hideous long plan.
Until now, no one could guess what Dumrod was trying to achieve or do. Even Elder Forgus also didn't know about it. They only know that Dumrod is trying to make a world-scale movement that may endanger the dwarf's life.
