“No can do. There’s an unseen wall in the skies that block us when we reach certain altitude. We can’t continue rising.”
Edward told the Players gathering around him as he landed his Blackfire Dragon. “But the higher I go, the more I could feel that the sun is abnormal…”
“How abnormal? Too hot?” Joe asked in curiosity.
“It’s not a matter of hotness, it is just that sort of stuff you rarely see…” Edward racked his brains as he tried to describe the feeling, only saying uncertainly after he hesitated for a while, “Well… have you been to the churches of major religions?”.
“I’ve been to a few, since the churches would set up shop in most major cities. Although they would always claim that they ‘don’t charge believers of other churches extra’, they would bother you when you leave your city if you don’t go into their church and pay them taxes.”
Marni answered, after having been a traveling merchant for a long time. “But what does that have to do with the sun?”
“Aren’t there statues of gods in those city churches? Even if there aren’t any, there would at least be some cross, totem or whatnot that represents their deity.”
Being no longer the village boy who rarely leaves his own dwelling, Edward had visited many cities and gained rich experiences, and had a broader perspective compared to the middle-class citizens of this world.
That was the exact reason why he would realize that something was not right. “And when it comes to the gods or the things that represent them, wouldn’t you feel… an overwhelmed pressure? Even if it isn’t the god you believe in, you would lower your head by reflex when you stand before such objects.”
“You mean…” Marni, who was rather quick on the uptake immediately understood Edward’s meaning. “Yes, that sun has feelings too, and that sense of pressure feels stronger compared to the idols in churches.” Edward nodded, confirming Marni’s hunch.
“A symbol of a god’s presence in this world… no, if what you say is real, it just might be possible that the ‘sun’is a relic that other gods left in our world!” Marni mused, lowering his head.
“Although I’m not sure what you guys are talking about, is there actually a way to clear the last floor now?” Joe asked impatiently, scratching his head. “There isn’t much time left!”
“Edward, can’t your skill break the unseen wall?” Gou Dan asked curiously as well.
Although he was not the strongest Player there was, the devastation of Edward’s black flames was already quite stunning. Even Eleena might not match his potential for damage even though she was stronger. “Nope. My skills don’t work much against the wall, but I did think of something.” Edward nodded. “If our damage isn’t powerful enough, why not we use something even more devastating?”
“Are you talking about…” Mufasa’s flatfish fins twitched as he asked hesitantly, “The Pyrocrystal Cannon?”
Although the Pyrocrystal Cannon did not exactly inflict the highest damage according to what the Players had encountered so far, it was the strongest tool that the Players could control.
With there being no other options anyway, once the idea was mentioned, the Players dismantled the two Pyrocrystal Cannons outside the main entrance of the Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN) with help from Eleena, who holds the clearance of the first stratum. After that, they teleported the Steel Earth Key down to the fourth stratum.
Since the Players who had learnt alchemy (mainly magitek) as a Life Skill from Kinley were lower in level and could not enter the fourth stratum, they could only instruct the combat-class Players in how to assemble and control the cannons through the Player Forums.
It was fortunate that just like back on Earth, the more modern the technology, the more user-friendly products such as mobile phones were.
Even though the humans did not know much about the high elves’ historical developments, it was more or less obvious that their creation would be useful even in the near future after surviving through the ages-aside from being easily damaged…
Naturally, the Pyrocrystal Cannons were a little different since they are non-civilian objects, although said difference was that it can be easily used and would work when plugged into an energy source.
“Fire!”
Leah assumed the role of ordering the firing of cannons.
One must say that the power of the two Pyrocrystal Cannon was certainly powerfulthe beams from both cannons pierced the unseen wall directly.
Edward, who had been watching from a corner promptly rushed to the opening, only to find that the wall restored itself after the beams were gone.
They tried several more times, but each attempt was met with failure.
“This won’t do, setting up the cannons cost us too much time…” Even Princess Leah was feeling a little hopeless.
Edward, however, did not lose hope. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly asked, “Does everyone remember the elven gold?”
“Are you talking about the pool of coins we found in the building?”
Joe, being the one who discovered the coins immediately remembered. “Didn’t you say that the coins are useless?”
“That depends on the situation.” Edward grinned.
Being a currency with supreme anti-theft function, the elven gold would return home if it was taken away.
And that same effect might activate when it was struck violently.
Still, that would mean that elven gold had to have excellent defensive variables—in the variables, the coins would not be destroyed in the instant they were struck.
In other words, the defense of the coins was frighteningly high if used correctly to the point that it could bend the Rules of the Elven SIN itself!
Hence, Edward’s group ran to the room and pasted the gold coins all over his body.
He was intent on using that as an armor to slip into the beam when it pierces the unseen wall, crossing it and entering the fifth stratum: The Eternal Archives!
Naturally, Edward was the tester this time.
“Are you ready, Edward?” Leah asked somberly. You might get fully vaporized from a single blast by this thingy, and would have to respawn.” “I’m ready for a long time!” Edward yelled, taking a deep breath as he flew in front of one of the barrels. “Shoot me!”
In a split second, a piercing radiance shone over the barrel of the Pyrocrystal Cannon, firing a beam straight into the skies while supposedly avoiding a direct hit on the Eternal Archive.
Within the instant when the wall was confirmed to be pierced, Edward, who was pasted full of elven gold, armed with Leah’s halo as well as Eleena and Jessica’s stat buffs rushed into the beam.
And in the next split second, Xi Wei, who had been watching idly jumped. “What the heck—?!”
