Chapter 150: Successful Copy

Astonoroph stared at the disassembled rifle parts, and formulated a plan inside his head. Replicating these human weapons was unlike anything he'd done before. It wasn't just about reshaping metal with dark magic or inscribing runes for power. This required precision, exact measurements, and an understanding of the mechanical workings.

He moved to the far side of his chamber, where tools and materials were neatly arranged on various shelves. In place of magical runes and spells, he would need to create something purely mechanical, yet imbued with enough dark energy to make it more powerful. If he could integrate magic into the firing mechanisms without relying on it to power the rifle, they would have something new—something powerful.
