Chapter 173 - 173: Pointless
"Zero, scan this book and tell me its gist," Lucian spoke.
[Sigh, I miss my days of being unemployed, doing nothing all the time and just lazing around; that must have been the best part of my life.]
After that, Zero got to work and began to scan the pages. After a few minutes, Lucian had flipped through the entire book. Then, placing it to the side, he asked:
"Now tell me what it is all about. And what is this stone?"
[In short, it is re
The stone seemed to fight back against the black flames, which kept attacking it mercilessly.
Lucian had no idea what was exactly happening as he just continued to watch, holding the stone with both hands as tightly as he could and releasing more flames from his body.
*TING* *TING* *TING*
A strange sound began to ring out as two metals collided against each other.
This stone was made of a material that was much stronger than the material of the walls.
So even if Lucian attacked it with all his strength for several days or even months, he wouldn't be able to leave a single scratch.
But under the onslaught of the flames, tiny pieces of the stone began to fall down.
It got even heavier, making Lucian stumble forward, so he just sat down and held the stone as tightly as he could.
It felt as if the black flames had come to life, as they rained down attacks on the stone from all around, almost like the flames had met their mortal enemy.
'Is this some kind of corruption?' Lucian thought in his mind.
Releasing so many flames was making him feel extremely weak, but he was not going to give up.
[Just keep doing it. I'll explain it later. For now, you have to successfully corrupt this weapon!!]
Zero's words appeared in his mind, and she was actually excited, so Lucian was even more motivated to continue.
He closed his eyes and just focused on releasing more flames; the sound of the stone breaking continued to ring in the room.
'It feels like the flames see this stone as something much lower, as they attack it with a feel of disdain.
Making it regret rejecting the offer earlier?' Lucian pondered; he got exactly this type of feeling.
