Chapter 66 63: Am I also a raven?
Concentrating, Nolen asked a question to the Book of Omniscient Knowledge:

"I need a sixth-level spell that combines power, range and rate of fire, and can effectively kill enemies at medium and long distances."

If "Sky Burning Flame" is specialized for groups, what he needs now is a powerful specialized spell similar to "Gathered Fire Explosion", so that it can pose a big enough threat to high-level transcendent beings.

It's just different from "Charged Fire Explosion". This time he doesn't just pursue the most powerful spell among the same level, but wants a long-range attack spell with a comprehensive balance of power, range and rate of fire.

Limited by the size of the strategic-grade magic weapon, the scenarios in which White Raven uses it are basically long-range combat at high altitudes, rather than close combat.

Therefore, range and rate of fire are also important considerations.

In his mind, the points of knowledge gathered into light and merged into the book of omniscience. The pages began to turn, and as the light dissipated, a brand new magic circle spell appeared on the paper.

Sixth-level light spell "Destruction Beam":
Gather light elements to release a stream of beam energy, causing penetrating damage to enemies hit.

As with most offensive spells, the spell introduction is simple.

Nolen, however, keenly recognized the special feature of this spell - it is a light spell.

The light element is an allomorphic element of the fire element. Compared with the conventional four-series spells of earth, water, fire, and wind, light spells are rarer and have more complex characteristics.

In his impression, light spells include auxiliary spells such as "Flash" and "Invisibility" that can change the intensity and refraction of light.

There are also "purification" and "punishment" that can dispel certain curse spells, or targeted spells that can directly harm the soul body.

"Destruction Beam" is a light attack spell.

Since the Book of Omniscient Knowledge regards it as the answer to the question, it means that it perfectly balances the three requirements of power, range, and rate of fire, and is his most ideal attack spell.

"Beam cannon?" Nolen murmured, his eyes slowly brightening.

Beam weapons are one of the must-have classic weapons for mechas, so you must try them!

He found a blank magic circle base of suitable size, activated the "Projection" ability, and soon imprinted the "Destruction Beam" magic circle on it, and then sealed it in a black box.

Later, he sent the individual magic cannon to the laboratory, opened its array structure compartment, removed the "Sky Burning Flame" array, and installed the "Destruction Beam" instead.

After completing the simple modification, this magic cannon was transformed from the original flame launcher into the current beam destruction cannon.

Of course, such a simple and crude modification also has disadvantages.

Previously, due to the wide range of spell radiation of "Sky Burning Flame", the muzzle only needed to be pointed in the general direction, and it could hit the target without having to specifically aim.

Therefore, this magic cannon was designed with a shooting position held under the armpits.

This position ensures the shooter has a good field of vision and shortens the distance the barrel extends, but accordingly it prevents precise aiming movements.

When the magic cannon's spell was changed to "Destruction Beam", although the power was increased, the attack range also became smaller.

In order to accurately hit the enemy at a distance of 800 meters, it needs to be equipped with a suitable sight.

This is contrary to the armpit shooting position.

If you want to fully take advantage of the long-distance casting advantage of the "Destruction Beam", you may have to redesign a sniper-style magic cannon that can accurately aim.

However, including the time for design and manufacturing, I'm afraid it will take a few more days. Seeing that the war has come to an end, I don't know if it will be ready for actual combat in the end.

But...no matter!

Just do it!Is there any weapon more handsome than a big sniper?

No!

Nolen's eyes were shining, and he began to conceive of his new invention on the drawings again.

At the same time, his heart became faintly active.

As a knight, Yuna not only has superb physical fitness, but also has much better fighting talent than herself. Therefore, she has been the pilot since the invention of the jetpack.

But why doesn't he want to fly a jetpack and control alchemical weapons to fight?
This has actually been his dream for a long time, but the control method of Unit [-] was relatively cumbersome, and there was no production capacity to produce a second Valkyrie equipment at that time, so this matter has been shelved.

But things are different now. After many evolutions, Valkyrie's equipment has been iterated to a telepathic flying wing type, which even he can easily control.

At the same time, he now has control over the city's alchemy resources. He can dispatch the alchemists from the Alchemy Society to forge equipment for himself, and his production capacity can keep up.

It seems it’s time to create your own Valkyrie equipment.

Linking with Yuna's soul every day and immersing himself in the first-person perspective of her aerial combat, he was already itching and couldn't wait to experience the feeling of flying.

Am I a raven too?The black raven also wants to fly, okay?

He has even thought about his future fighting style: unlike the agile Yuna, as an ordinary person, he cannot withstand the impact of G-force caused by high-speed fighting and rapid acceleration.

Therefore, he positions himself as a mobile turret in the air, an elusive sniper that can appear in any position and attack from any angle!
By then, this improved beam sniper will be his best partner.

It’s not good, it started to burn just thinking about it!
He drew the drawings for a while, then stood up, picked up the individual magic cannon on the experimental table, and unconsciously began to imagine the majestic scene in which he would kill everyone on the battlefield in the future.

Only at this moment does a man's imagination seem so far ahead.

But after playing with the individual magic cannon in his hand, after a while, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

I... I didn't pay much attention to this thing before...

Isn’t it a bit heavy?
The individual magic cannon is made entirely of ceramic steel, which is actually a relatively light alchemical metal.

But its size is here, and there is a magic crystal built into it. The actual weight is estimated to be about forty kilograms.

For fifth-level knight Yuna, this weight is nothing, even if she can hold it with one hand for a long time.

But for him, a "weak scholar" who had been trained for a long time, it was impossible to stabilize such a heavy guy and hold his breath while aiming.

Nolen put down the magic cannon and looked at it deep in thought.

What, the first difficulty Black Raven encountered was that he couldn't lift the weapon he made?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Sure enough, in this magical world, mortal power has its limits after all.

He has secretly made up his mind to find a way to become a transcendent when he has some free time.

Even if you just become a first- and second-level knight, you must at least have the basic physical fitness to control your own alchemical weapons.

Since he claims to be the strongest alchemist, it shouldn't be difficult to transform himself into a transcendent.

You're right, the book of omniscience?
