The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 26 Dimensional Stone

Speaking of corruption, this is really a headache, the body and will of the corrupted person will often mutate.

This mutation will often strengthen the destructive power of the corrupted, and the effect depends on the strength of the individual. Generally speaking, the more powerful a person is, the less likely it is to be completely corrupted.

But once the powerful are corrupted, the results can be disastrous.

According to the information provided by little Sasha, her father was a third-tier knight, and he was already preparing to become a great knight before the incident happened.

One can imagine how strong that lord will be after being corrupted.
"Master, it's not that I'm underestimating your ability, but that the enemy is too powerful, we can't confront him head-on here."

What Aris said made everyone fall into contemplation. In fact, this was also the first problem that Ickert could not solve by strength alone.

He also thought about summoning more ratmen to consume the corrupted knight, but to be honest, not to mention the complicated effects required for summoning a magic circle, which cannot be engraved with a magic circle sand table, let alone the corruption itself. Large armies are also deadly.

Corruption is also contagious, and wounds caused by corrupted creatures will spread mental pollution, which will completely corrupt over time, which will only cause more trouble.

Although Ickert himself is strong enough as a Tier [-] battle mage, magic is always difficult when he leapfrogs against fighters. The opponent can resist magic power, but he has difficulty resisting physical attacks.

It would be nice if there were war horses in the field, but the small castle was still more suitable for hand-to-hand combat.

From this point of view, neither his Ratman nor his own strength is enough to capture Fort Windsor.

He is a majestic lord, and he can't even enter his own castle. Is this reasonable?
Anyway, Ikert couldn't swallow this breath. Think about it, a lord who can't even enter the castle of his territory!It's so frustrating!It's so demoralizing!

Whether it's for this tone, or for the development of the territory to have a good start, this battle must be fought!To win!Play well!
Ickert has never been a reckless man. Since he decided to fight, he must be confident and reliable.

However, in the eyes of others, the question Aris raised was like a huge mountain. Although their lord was very resolute, there was no hope of breaking the situation at all.

But just when everyone thought Ickert was about to give up, he took out an emerald green crystal from his waist pocket.

The crystal exudes attractive fluorescence, the inside is pure and translucent, and the outside is polished into a flat triangle.

"This is?"

Aris looked at this wonderful crystal in a daze, and couldn't help but want to touch it with one hand.

However, Jeniel on the side reacted faster than him. He scrambled and crawled all the way to Ickert, pointing his nose at the emerald green crystal and sucking wildly!
He knows it!What is this emerald green crystal!
This is the dimensional stone!
The foundation of Ratmen society and industry!Verdant!Shiny!Powerful!

Dimensional stone! ! !
The smell of dimensional stone!Even for a breath!Even if it's just a bite! yes! yes!

I really want to!I really want to finely grind it into a powder and put it on the tip of my nose to inhale!
Genil seemed to be going crazy at this time, and Ickert had no intention of stopping him.

It's just that no matter how hard Genier tried, he couldn't physically touch the Dimensional Stone right in front of him.

This is exactly the effect of the "mage's hand" on the original plane. In the Summoner Academy, mages always like to use this spell during experiments, and it can also form a magic film that isolates objects when necessary.

To put it bluntly, the Dimensional Stone is the precipitation of the Chaos Demonic Wind. While it contains powerful power, it will also corrupt the user, making it crazy, mutated, and finally thrown into the embrace of Chaos.

In layman's terms, it is an ultra-high radiation enriched magic uranium ore.

Ickert did not dare to directly contact such mighty power. When using the Dimensional Stone, he always used various protective measures.

This dimensional stone was extracted from the basket of yellow stones. Two days ago, Ickert, who had nothing to do, decided to study his yellow stone, so he smashed the outermost layer of impurities.

It was these emerald green crystals that emerged from the inside. The magic wind from the Warhammer world seemed to be of a different nature from the local magic, so it could not be directly detected.

Ickert conducted some small experiments on the two magic powers, and the results were quite interesting, but that was not the point of capturing Windsor Fort this time.

The point is the dimension stone, which itself can be used as a weapon.

Whether it is ground into powder and detonated, or refined into poison or bullets, Warpstone will become extremely deadly due to its own characteristics.

Weapons made of this kind of thing will carry unimaginable toxicity, and the penetrating power of the warhead itself is sufficient.

Even using the surging magic power directly is enough to turn any spellcaster into a nuclear mage!
The only limitation to using such a thing is the extreme instability caused by the nature of its chaotic magic.

Eckert's plan is to use the characteristics of the warp stone weapon to kill the corrupted knight in one fell swoop!
The green gleam is a powerful and sinister force that both seduces and unsettles humans.

If it wasn't necessary, Ikert hadn't made any plans to use the Dimension Stone on a large scale, but now he was ready to do so, so he had to do so.

"This is the Dimensional Stone. If you make this into a weapon, you can destroy the Corrupted Knight."

Ickert didn't want to explain too much, after all, he didn't know if revealing too much was a good thing.

As soon as he released the "Awakening Technique" to the surroundings, his words were like a basin of cold water waking up the people around him, and they finally recovered from the temptation.

"Master, can this really work against corrupted knights?"

Aris couldn't believe it, and he had never seen such a strange stone with his knowledge, but it's okay to use gems as a carrier of spells, but how can they be used as weapons?

Ickert had expected that some people would not believe it, which is normal, anyway, he had planned to conduct a live demonstration to restore their confidence.

"Jenil! Go catch an undead! Immediately!"

"Yes! Yes!"

The Ratman, who was extremely greedy for the Dimension Stone, ran out immediately. No matter what the order was, as long as the master rewarded him with the Dimension Stone, everything would be worth it!

After a while, an undead was carried over by the Ratmen. According to Ickert's request, it was also put on two layers of chain armor.

And Ikert himself called a carpenter, first removed the arrowhead, and then cut the front end of the arrow shaft. At this time, the polished dimensional stone can be clamped inside the still elastic wooden shaft, but still It needs to be reinforced with wire.

In the end, Ikert also inscribed the rune of "Gallery" with "Warrior's Blood", so that the arrow can reach a speed sufficient to exert the power of the Dimensional Stone.

After doing all this, Ickert called Genil over and asked him to launch the "Dimensional Crossbow" himself.

Genil seemed very excited. He first picked up the dimension stone and sniffed it, and then shot the crossbow under the urging of Ickert.

The arrow flew out rapidly, and accelerated through the second stage of the "gale wind" rune on the way, and everyone only had time to see a green light passing by.

And when it hit the double-layer mail armor, it passed through without hindrance, as if stuck in tofu.

When the excited Aris ran forward to check, he was shocked by the exaggerated trauma on the spot.

"This! This is!"

The hit mail seemed to melt, and some green solution faintly flowed around the breach, and behind the double layer of mail, the remaining flesh and blood of the undead was also eroded by the poisonous dimension stone!
Is this the power that a crossbow arrow should have?
