Chapter 214 - The Effects Of The Spears
Lin Mu’s current strength was enough for him to lift a hundred kilograms easily, with no effort. And if he used vital energy and spirit qi to amplify his strength simultaneously, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to lift a thousand kilograms as well.
Still, when using a weapon this weight became a completely different factor. While weight was an important factor and was quite beneficial for certain weapons such as hammers and maces, it was a different story in the case of weapons that worked more on technique such as swords and spears.
Here more weight did not mean that the weapon would be that much more powerful. In fact, a heavier weight may even restrict the user’s full potential in using the weapon. Thus it was important for the weapon to be well balanced.
Lin Mu could feel that very thing right now. While the golden spear in his hands was heavy, it was well balanced. The weight of it was equally distributed and when he held it in the center of the shaft, it held straight.
Lin Mu estimated that the spear was about fifty kilograms in weight, which was quite heavy to be honest. His short sword was barely four kilograms in weight, and the previous spear that he had used was at most twenty kilograms in weight.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
Still, Lin Mu started to use the spear and swung it around. He could sense that there was more to the spear and channeled his spirit qi into the spear. As soon as he did, the runes that were carved into the shaft lit up and the sharp edge of the spear started shining.
Lin Mu stabbed forward and this caused a yellow beam of light to shoot out from the spat tip. The beam traveled for ten meters before it faded away. Lin Mu then swiped the spear in the air, creating arcs of energy that traveled for four meters before fading away.
"Good spear!" Lin Mu muttered, feeling impressed.
Then came the time for the big reveal, Lin Mu wanted to know what kind of effect would the formations on this spear have. There were no runes present on the surfaces of the spear, and Lin Mu could tell that the spear was slightly hollow from the inside.
He channeled his spirit qi into the spear and saw some changes happening in it. The spear lightly vibrated and four small openings appeared at the base of the spear tip. grey colored material energy was released from these openings and wrapped around the spear tip.
But it didn’t stop there. The energy kept on layering over and over until the spear tip was now much bigger than before. The spear tip was now no longer flat, but instead had four intersecting edges forming a cross shape. The weight of the spear had also increased by three times by this.
Lin Mu looked at the gruesome looking tip that had now formed and felt the change in weight. He stabbed out and saw its effect.
~Whoosh~
~Crack~
The floor underneath him cracked with the stomp of his foot and the increased weight of the spear. The spear stabbed into the air and created ripples that spread out. Finally, at the end of the strike, the Grey energy that had wrapped the spear tip spread apart in the form of sharp blades.
~Gulp~
Lin Mu could imagine the effect something like this could have if it was stabbed into a person or a beast, and then the skill was triggered. The effect would shred the person or beast from inside, causing massive injuries.
"That’s not all, you felt the weight difference, right? This spear is essentialy two different spears combined into one. The basic form that is fast and efficient while the activated form which is heavy and powerful. The finishing skill is an added benefit which can be used as a trump card to surprise your enemies."
