The Primordial Record novel Chapter 686

Chapter 686 Shaking Trion

The laughter from the man increased in intensity, and with a faint pop, the left eyes of the laughing man fell off, and inside the gaping hole, there was the beginning of a silver light that was building.

The eyeball rolled to the feet of the Earth gods and stopped. One of the Earth gods peered down at the eye that was engorged with blood and that appeared to be staring at them with fear and fury.

The laughter from the man increased and the light shining inside his body was now visible in his throat, as if he had been filled up with a pool of lightning.

The Earth gods became alarmed, the light erupting from the body of the Guardsman filled their hearts with a sense of suffocation and intense danger, one of them conjuring a spear of ice to freeze this aberration, but it was already too late.

The helpless man who was watching his body being piloted had been screaming all these while to no avail, his Territory was now empty, the light from the glowing metallic substance had eaten away everything. It floated in the emptiness of his Territory and the light it was giving out was tearing the last bit of sanity left in his mind.

The intense heat generated from whatever process was happening had melted the metal and it began to shrink, from a size of a small hill, the glowing metal shining as bright as a star reduced until it was the size of a peach and then there was a bright flash of light and he mercifully knew no more.

The Guardsman would never know that his Territory had been filled with more than fifty tons of high-grade Mithril. This metal was powerful and durable, and it was also very notorious because it was supernaturally radioactive, and usually Mithril had to be combined with other materials for it to be used, and even then it was with great caution.

This was not an alloy of Mithril; it was a hundred percent pure Mithril untainted by the tiniest amount of impurities.

No one wanted to touch even a small portion of Mithril, even if it was a very low-grade one, and placing it inside a Territory was madness, it would be preferable to drink lava. The Mithril would slowly eat away at your Territory and the light that it emitted would tear apart the sanity of those in close contact with it. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

As if that was not enough, when Mithril is subjected to certain temperatures and conditions, it turns volatile and explodes, releasing a terrible amount of heat, force, and poisoning rays that could corrupt its surroundings for tens of thousands of years.

The energy it gave off was earth-shattering as a tiny piece of Mithril a few grams in weight given the right conditions would release enough energy to level a small town.

The resulting explosion of five thousand tonnes of high-grade Mithril could hardly be imagined. If this explosion had occurred on a Minor World, it would be enough to not only destroy the entire planet, there would be nothing of it left but a poisonous cloud.

Even from outer space the explosion on the surface of Trion could be seen as the flash for a brief instant was a million times brighter than the sun.
