The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 677

Mya took a deep breath and looked at Adrian

“I understand, str. You’re saying that runes are terrifyingly lethal weapons that can be created.”

Adrian nodded. “Correct. This old book mentioned a man by the name of Craig Alexander who owned a sword forged with runes. It is said that his sword possessed the power to destroy planets.

“Simply put, rune masters would inscribe a few nanes onto a weapon that can be freely used by charging it with human technology and a complex string of codes that act as the calibrator. It’s the same as a cell phone’s Bluetooth or charging functions. However, nanes are much more complex and mysterious.”

“Ah, I get it now.” Mya seemed enlightened.

“But why would such a thing appear in the church’s hidden room? Do you know how to activate the runes, sir?” she asked as she pointed to the metal piece in Adrian’s hand.

Adrian took a careful look at it and touched the patterns on it before saying, “I used to think that the old book’s records were without scientific proof, but it seems like it really did exist in that minor country decades ago. If my guess is correct, this black metal is similar to an explosive.”

“Are you saying that the power stored inside it will leak out when activated, causing an immense shock that would make it explode?”

Adrian nodded. “Yes, that’s it. This energy can be stored inside this piece of metal, like a battery. However, runes aren’t used to store electrical energy, but power.”

“What is the source of this power though? You said it isn’t electrical, nor could it possibly be kinetic, so could it be light? Or is it something we don’t know yet?” Mya asked.

“Powers are things that can be obtained from various sources in the world,” Adrian replied

“Does that mean if we say, detonate a bomb while it’s in close proximity to this metal, the runes will activate and release the power stared within?”

Adrian smiled. “Yes, that’s what I meant. Anything that can reach its power range can activate it, but we need the password.”

“The password? How did that get designed into the runes? That’s just illogical and has no scientific grounds,” Mya Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

questioned.

“Would it be logical if I told you that its password is equivalent to the size of energy?

“The size of energy? So, you’re saying that a password of six digits can be input into it, but instead of six digits, it’s six different degrees of power? We can only activate the runes by channeling six different degrees of powers into it at the same time?”

“It looks like I’ve underestimated you, Mya I won’t be calling you dumb anymore,” Adrian said with a smile.

Although Mya rolled her eyes at him, she, too, had learned a lot today.

“The minds of our ancestors are really something to be respected. To think they managed to come up with a password that can only be broken with different powers… This would make our password with the numbering system seem like child’s play since we wouldn’t know if it needs six kinds of powers, or eight, or even a hundred.”

Adrian shook his head as he smiled, while Mya continued, “Then what would its appearance at the church’s hidden room

mean?”

Once again, Adrian chose to ignore Mya’s question

“The old book recorded a type of power, but I’m not sure if you’ve heard of it before.”

“What kind of power?”

“According to legend, it’s the art of immortality. These arts give its user the power to destroy worlds.”

“The art of..immortality?”

Adrian smiled. “It’s a mysterious thing that states humans can reach another level after breaking through their limits. It’s

rather difficult to describe what it is, so the ‘immortality arts‘ is the closest term.”

Mya seemed shocked. “Are there really humans who have trained in such an art?”

‘t didn’t believe it before, but I do now.”
