Damn it, Jarvis, give me the Saint Armor! War stared blankly at the ground before him, his heart slowly beginning to beat again after abruptly stopping.
His muscles were weak, and he could not muster any magic power. At that moment, every last trace of fighting spirit vanished.
Fortunately, lifeless metal puppets were unaffected by pressure.
Countless fine scales surfaced across the two enormous black puppets standing beside War, and vast magic power began to circulate.
The metal scales of one puppet spread all the way to its palms, extending outward and condensing into a giant axe twice a man's height. The other puppet instantly crouched down and pressed both hands against the dragon's head, its scales linking the two together.
As though frames had been skipped in a video, the axe puppet's arm drove a gale as it swung down. The linked puppet opened its mouth to the limit, firing a hair-thin beam of black Dragon Flame like a laser.
The two attacks landed on Chu Ke at the same time beneath War's slightly despairing gaze.
Diu!
The Dragon Flame exploded the instant it struck, swallowing Chu Ke and the giant axe along with the sound of an energy wave.
Perhaps due to some strengthening skill, the Dragon Flame was clearly more powerful than when used by the dragon itself. It scorched and melted the fireproof Dragon Scales beneath Chu Ke's feet, yet even so, the dragon did not let out a single pained howl. It lay as silent as a corpse.
After burning for three or four seconds, Chu Ke's amused voice came from within the Dragon Flame.
"The special effects are pretty impressive. I suggest you get a job at Trigger afterward. Come to think of it, I've wanted to try doing this for a while."
As his words fell, ripples spread through the mass of black Dragon Flame, gradually expanding into a vortex-like wind tunnel. The Dragon Flame slowly dissipated, revealing Chu Ke's completely unscathed body, as well as the giant axe resting on his shoulder without even a scratch on his clothes.
Chu Ke suddenly took a deep breath, drawing all the Dragon Flame and air into his lungs before lightly blowing at the giant axe.
The mixed gas, infused with Martial Aura, transformed into an energy gas of extremely low temperature and washed over the giant axe.
White ice crystals surged over the giant axe like parasitic vines, crawling up the handle and covering the puppet's entire body.
Even the thin strands of Dragon Breath hanging in midair were frozen by that strange energy.
By the time War came to his senses, his two puppets had already stopped responding.
And in front of War, in the direction of Chu Ke's breath, the entire mountain where the giant dragon had been sprawled had become a snow-capped peak.
Killed one giant dragon, available points +107 Killed two high-grade Mithril Puppets, available points +200 Killed over 1.93 million insects, beasts, and animals, available points +1.93 million Kill
With senses at War's level of life, even without seeing it, he could feel everything happening behind him.
That only made War more terrified.
The being behind him had merely breathed once, yet had turned an entire mountain into a frozen domain.
Even Demon Kings or Dragon Kings could only achieve such power in a single strike if they were one of two beings—the previous Strongest Demon King or the Ancient Dragon.
Then what would happen if the being behind him attacked with his full strength? At that thought, War felt his knees itch. His body involuntarily dropped to its knees, and he said in a slightly trembling voice, "I am War Nilma Jarvis, an executive of the Demon King. I am willing to serve at your command, my lord!"
Chu Ke raised an eyebrow. Oh? This kid caught on fast.
Chu Ke patted War's neck, causing the unknown metal armor to clash with a clatter. "Very good. From now on, you're my capable humanoid butler, Jarvis."
"Yes!" Jarvis slowly turned around and lowered his head to show his loyalty.
As for what a capable humanoid was, the weak had no right to question the strong. Jarvis understood such a simple truth.
Whatever Big Brother said went.
But a butler? That was actually a pretty high position. If he had captured a prisoner himself, he definitely would have used him as expendable material.
"Hey, Nima." Chu Ke once again wore the expression of someone with an idea, patting War's shoulder as he asked curiously, "What was that puppet just now? It looked pretty cool. Can you make me one?"
Damn, that puppet's intelligent scale assembly, those breathing-light energy effects—it was cool as hell. No man could refuse that.
Jarvis adapted to his role quickly. After all, that was the speed life had granted him.
It was the same principle as the ancient court's handpicked candidates from nine clans.
"Master, it's Nilma, not Nima. This is a Mithril Puppet, a combat weapon I assembled using advanced alchemy and mechanics. Its combat power is equivalent to a level-one-hundred Demon General, but it is far more versatile."
"If you want to assemble a puppet like this, you'll need a large amount of mithril."
Got it. He was short on mithril.
"Come to think of it, what is mithril?" Chu Ke asked curiously.
After all, Chu Ke had been in this world for less than a month. In terms of common knowledge, he was only slightly better than an illiterate.
"Mithril is an advanced magical material. Its main property is its excellent magical conductivity." As an executive of the Demon King, War usually acted arrogant as hell, but now he had completely become a helpful little assistant, thoughtfully explaining some common knowledge to Chu Ke. "There are also refined gold, orichalcum, and Magic Crystals. Each has different strange effects, and all of them are expensive and produced in extremely low quantities."
"Oh, got it." Chu Ke turned to look at the frozen mountain. "Then how much of those materials do you think a mountain like that could produce?"
Although he did not know what Chu Ke meant, War still looked toward the mountain, whose main peak was roughly three thousand meters tall, and cast a detection spell. "This mountain has abundant mineral veins. If an excavation team were sent to mine it all, it could yield several tons of orichalcum, half a ton of mithril, and several jin of refined gold. As for Magic Crystals, there are none at all—"
Before War could finish, Chu Ke extended one hand toward the mountain range, lightly curled his fingers in a grasping motion, and lifted upward.
A massive amount of Martial Aura—or rather, life aura—wrapped around the mountain along with several nearby peaks and instantly crushed them. Every mineral within was separated out and moved before War, leaving only a bottomless pit stretching as far as the eye could see.
"Is that enough?"
War swallowed hard and hurriedly nodded. "Enough, Master!"
"Give me three hours—no, one hour—and I can make three magic puppets like that for you!"
Chu Ke shook his head. "I don't want puppets. I want the kind that people can enter and control."
Chu Ke roughly described his vision for the armor to War, then used his immense Spiritual Power to pour all the technical knowledge he had gained from the Cyberpunk world straight into War's mind.
He had perfectly played the role of a shameless client. It felt great!
Jarvis should match the armor aesthetic, after all!
"That should be about it. I'll come find you later." With that, Chu Ke turned around, gave a slight leap, and flew into the air to find Diallo and the other person on his way back.
Along the way, Chu Ke allocated all the points he had gained from destroying the environment.
After the increase, Chu Ke felt that if he used the same kind of breath attack as before, he could probably freeze half of America.
Chu Ke Constitution: 1 million; Resistance: 1 million; Recovery: 1 million; Magic Power: 500
