"Stevan really can't sit still!"
Recalling that cheap old uncle in the wheelchair, Duke couldn't help but sigh, "I just found Nerdley, and he's so impatient to jump out and snatch the fruits. Are the brains of his Spy Leader all squashed by a door?"
"What is this?"
Nerdley leaned to the window and looked, seeing Arrogance caught in the large net in front of the inn. His eyes showed clear shock, and he blurted out without thinking, "A living mechanical creature?"
"How is this possible?"
"My uncle said that unless it's a god, humans can't create mechanical creatures with their own life?"
"That's my work, what do you think?"
Duke moved aside, allowing Nerdley to see more clearly. Nerdley stared at Arrogance in the net with fascination, muttering, "It's too beautiful, it's too beautiful!"
"It's simply the pinnacle of mechanical creation. If such a work came from my hands, I would give up everything!"
"Some gaps cannot be crossed!"
Duke gently pushed Nerdley aside, "Like the gap between you and me, and now, I'll let you see its true power!"
"True power?"
Nerdley repeated the phrase. Duke directly whistled. Arrogance, who was struggling in the net, heard the sound and looked towards the window. Duke leaned on the window and said to Arrogance, "Act!"
The Spy Leader directly under Stevan listened to Duke's words and gestured without changing his expression.
"Trap it! I'll go deal with that kid and capture the target!"
"Yes!"
Everyone pulled out their weapons. The overall technological level of Ferros surpassed Piltover by ten years; their weapons were all still conceptual.
The Vishla Alchemy Flamer, this 09 weapon can spray a focused pillar of Fire over a meter long, Incinerating targets to ash in the blink of an eye.
The Clockwork Power Tech-Blade, capable of both ranged combat and close-quarters fighting, has a retractable blade that discharges electricity.
The Alchemy Ice Lance fires a freezing blast of cold air.
These weapons should have been based on Hextech, but Hextech artificial gemstones had just been invented and hadn't yet been developed.
Yet, even so, they were extremely terrifying killing weapons.
And Duke's technical prowess and technological strength surpassed the Ferros Family's by more than fifty years!
Upon receiving Duke's command, Pride no longer roared as before; his body slightly hunched, and the blue light in his eyes gradually transformed into a dazzling red.
When Pride's eyes completely turned blood-red, faint Fire sparks emerged from his hollow fingers.
The Spy Leader noticed this scene and said with a fake smile, "What can such a weak flame be used for?"
"To light cigars?"
Swoosh!!
The Fire spewing from Pride's hollow fingers instantly condensed into a beam, like the high-temperature cutting flame from a blowtorch.
Swish, swish, swish...
Several streaks of Fire bloomed from the void, resembling blooming red lotuses.
The electrified net was directly torn apart by Pride's fiery claws. Duke watched this scene with a smile, then turned to the dumbfounded Nerdley and said, "Do you know the flaw of metal claws?"
"What?"
"It's that they are prone to wear, dulling, and oxidation. With prolonged use, no matter what kind of metal a weapon is cast from, it will inevitably suffer damage. To maintain a weapon's sharpness, it requires years of care and maintenance."
"But fiery claws are different. By adjusting the focus temperature, you can control the cutting power. Under high temperatures, even steel plates can be easily shredded."
Nerdley's Adam's apple bobbed once, and he gulped, stammering, "Wouldn't that make it a pure weapon?"
"My initial intention in designing Pride was not for him to be a means of transport, but a true weapon!"
"Moreover, besides Pride, I have six other designs with this concept!"
"Six?"
Nerdley's eyes widened. He counted on his fingers, trembling as he looked at Pride. Such a powerful, beautiful, and charming existence, and there were six more of them.
What was the limit of this young man?
"Keep watching!"
Duke propped up his chin, took a malt candy from his inventory, and offered one to Nerdley, "Have some, don't be shy!"
"Ah… Mm."
A bewildered Nerdley accompanied Duke to continue watching Pride's debut. The Spy Leader
"What? It actually shredded the electric net directly! The current on it could instantly electrocute an elephant into charcoal!"
The Spy Leader felt he needed to re-evaluate the strange dragon-headed mechanical creature before him. He made an immediate decision and ordered, "All personnel, change weapons! The current primary target is this mechanical creature. Kill without mercy!"
"Yes!"
