[Ace POV],
What could be used to kill a target, or even multiple targets, in an instant?
The answer is quite simple.
Explosives.
Explosive weapons can basically devastate a landscape, and this is true in my previous world, so how powerful would a magically created explosive be?
This was a fascinating question to which I had no answers but could speculate.
Although all explosives are powerful, there is still a difference in level and degree.
In my old world, there were three main types of explosions: chemical, chanical and nuclear. Each type of explosion can be equally devastating and serious.
Chemical explosions occur due to either decomposition or combination reactions, which are both exothermic reactions
A chemical explosive may consist of either a chemically pure compound, such as nitroglycerin, or a mixture of a fuel and an oxidizer, such as black powder or grain dust and air.
In a nutshell, chemical explosives were mixed up solutions to create sothing dangerous.
There are high and low chemical explosions and each was equally dangerous.
High-Order Explosives are explosives that cause destructive shock waves, such as dynamite while low-Order Explosives are explosives that lack the over-pressurization wave which high-order explosives, such as gunpowder, create.
Then there is the chanical explosion.
A chanical explosion requires a physical reaction which is neither chemical nor nuclear. chanical explosions involve a high-pressure gas within a container expanding beyond the limit of a container's tensile strength, resulting in the container bursting open to release the pressure. This release of contents from a container creates a shock wave. If the material which is stored in that container is flammable, a fire will ignite.
This type of explosion was actually quite simple to make.
One only had to set fire to the insecticide container in their ho, but if they were not prepared to die quickly, this action was a no-go.
Then there's the nuclear explosion.
Massive devastation weapon.
There were tis when I wondered if the primordial chronicle could evolve humans to the point of causing similar levels of destruction, but that was still a long way off, not just for , but for all humans, as rank 1 appears to be the starting point.
I considered this while looking at the materials on the table in front of .
This was a different table than the one where the egg was.
Although I was attempting to make an explosive, it was easier said than done.
For one thing, I was fairly certain that explosives in the magical world did not function the sa way they did in my previous world.
The world wasn't that crazy to that extent.
Fortunately, I had runes to help with my plans.
For one thing, if I wanted to make an explosive, I'd have to use a rune from the fire system, and I already had two in mind.
A basic explode rune and a basic ignite rune.
The explode rune was the most difficult to engrave of the two.
I haven't tried to engrave it yet, but based on the steps stated in the knowledge in my head for making the rune, I could tell it was more difficult to make than the absorb rune, and the difference in difficulty was significant.
The ignite rune was the easier of the two to make, but it had a weaker effect than the explode rune.
The question now is which option I would take.
The best part is that the materials I brought were useable for both runes. This is why the two options were considered in the first place..
The explode rune did exactly what its na implies: it explodes. The damage done by the rune's explosion was rather dependent on the material the rune was engraved on, which ant the explode rune could be as expected, more powerful than expected, or less powerful than expected.
The ignite rune was less complicated than the explode rune because its sole purpose was to ignite flas whenever it ca into contact with mana. It works similarly to how my dual blades do.
That reminds , I haven't used that blade in a long ti. I wonder what I should do about it since it doesn't feel that useful to again.
I an, the Runic dagger I made was only a mini grade lower, and in this situation, the dagger was more useful to than the blades.
I'll just keep it in my storage ring for a little while longer.
As I considered which rune to use, I decided to make both.
For one thing, this was going to be more stressful and ti consuming, but the thing I lacked the most and had an abundance of was ti.
Perhaps I would fail more than once since I still believed that the runic I made once was a fluke, but I was willing to put in the effort because that is where improvent ca from.
In any case, there was still the possibility of successfully creating one of the two, and the plan I had for the earth rat den required to have quite a few explosives, so doing so would tell which of the two runes was worth making for this particular plan of mine.
And I'm not sure why, but I liked the feeling of creating items even though I might fail more than once.
I also liked the feeling of growing stronger, but if I had to choose between growing stronger and creating more, I would go with the latter.
It was just that satisfying to create sothing.
Well, at least I felt it was comfortable.
As I thought of this, I looked at the clothes I was currently wearing and considered changing it to sothing that might be more appropriate for an experint but after thinking about it for a few seconds, I decided against doing so.
In my opinion, it was stressful and unnecessary. Since this was not a formal or public lab, I did not have to adhere to rules and dress codes.
I took a deep breath and finally got to work with this thought in mind.
