He expected the construct to shoot the icicles as soon as it created them and all of them at once, but Evin only heard the impact of one icicle hitting the pillar.
Evin asked.
ca the reply.
Evin was a bit confused by the reply, but he still did as it ordered. But as he ran around the construct, Evin too, could see the weird behavior it was exhibiting. Even if it had the chance to shoot all its icicles for the greatest chance of succeeding, it only shot one icicle at a ti, and it even seed to wait a set amount of ti between each shot. Not only that, their speed was a lot slower than any spell Evin saw before, and even then, the icicles looked dull and harmless.
The only threatening thing about the construct was its tallic body that constantly ran towards Evin, as if possessed. But even then, it could only follow Evin's back, never trying a flanking maneuver or use any other movents to catch him.
But Evin wasn't going to complain about his weak opponent, as it allowed him and the Voice to learn which attacks worked and which didn't on its tallic body. Hard Air Swords could work, but they quickly learned that Hard Air hamrs, or maces had a much better effect.
Icicles could work, if the Voice made it strong enough, but it turned out to be a waste of mana. Then the Voice tried to fill the thing's insides with water and then freeze it, but after the water got inside it, the control that the Voice had over the water was cut off forcefully. The sa thing happened when Evin tried to gather oxygen inside the construct so he could set off an explosion inside it. The mont foreign World energies entered its body, they were instantly shredded to pieces, not allowing any influence from outside.
'I can't be sure since I can't do it myself, but if a mage tried to disassemble it using the World of Earth, their control should also be forcefully cut off.'
They then tried to increase its weight using Qanatohm, and found that they could practically immobilize it if they weren't stingy with their mana expenditure. It could still use its icicles, but at least Evin wouldn't have to worry about it running towards him all the ti.
Then, the Voice began to dismber the construct's limbs on by one. They learned that it couldn't control a limb that was cut off from the main body, and that the construct didn't try to reattach it in any matter. But the most interesting part was that the insides of the constructs were mostly hollow, with only Runes etched on the inside of the tal parts.
After they were finished with their tests, the Voice quickly finished it off by decapitating it.
the Voice replied heavily.
Heim Morton was a researcher notorious for his disregard for human life. The man had no moral compass, buying countless slaves and animals to experint on them in the na of science. He had no qualms about putting naked n, won, and children inside rooms made of ice to study the effects of hypothermia on their bodies. Each ti, he would wait until the slaves reached death's doorsteps and then he would try out various thods of rewarming to see which worked best and which, not so much.
Aside from the more normal ones like giving them access to warm temperatures while checking up on their bodies through the World of Life, there were more extre ones like having them sit next to fire, or having Irratas energies infiltrate their bodies, with so survivors even testifying that Morton suggested throwing so into boiling waters.
But hypothermia wasn't the only thing the man dabbled in. He experinted with poisons, venoms, sea waters, various studies on human blood, incendiary effects… but what he was most famous for was his organ and body part transplantation experints.
The man was obsessed with removing sothing and putting it where no sane person would ever think of putting. Of course, he began with experints on replacing failing organs with fresh ones, but soon he tried putting in animal organs inside humans, tried rearranging the human organs in a different way, even trying to assemble one human by combining the organs of many different ones.
Each and every one of these experints were ticulously docunted and safeguarded inside the Morton household, with another copy kept inside the National Library's storage safes for private docunts.
He was eventually tried by the kingdom's law and was beheaded. He tried pleading that he didn't perform anything illegal, because by law, he could do anything to slaves that were originally criminals. But king Roland overruled the plead, saying that the lives of 4th grades shouldn't be treated so differently than normal citizens and executed him anyway.
