Chapter 344: Explosion experiment × On magical beasts × Expansion
Joey would not readily leave the Fire Dragon's corpse to the people tracking them. Unfortunately, Killer Queen's ability could only instantly erase living things in their entirety. Even if he imbued the Fire Dragon's corpse with First Bomb, it could only blow a hole in it.
So what Joey left behind was not a corpse riddled with holes, but one packed with the results of his earlier research: Explosive Scales!
Creatures with Black Dragon blood were far from rare on this continent, and Joey had never lacked materials along the way. After figuring out God Script, he had gradually accumulated quite a few scales inscribed with God Script and storing large amounts of life energy.
Moreover, the life energy in these scales was not Joey's own, but came from creatures he had found at random during the journey.
The scales could accumulate life energy, and this ability remained active as long as something was in contact with them.
Living beings with life energy could avoid this by using methods such as Zetsu, but that required them to know how to use Nen.
Wild beasts did not possess that ability, so they could only serve as charging banks for the scales.
As soon as the God Script on these life-energy-filled scales changed, they would rapidly explode.
