When Lin returned to the cruise ship in the evening, he obtained a legendary weapon, the Cassette Cutting. Fen did not have the slightest desire to take it for himself. Instead, he had a smirk on his face.
They didn't give it another name because names were meaningless in their culture. Even the name "Cassette Cutting" was given by the gods during the Great War of Gods and Demons.
To save trouble, Fen used the name that was originally used to refer to the entire race. Anyway, the chances of encountering other Cassette Cutting were not high. Most of the Cassette Cutting race had been destroyed in the war that Fen had started thousands of years ago. In order to seek revenge, this demon king did not shy away from the game of self-destruction.
As for the new design of the Cassette Cutting, Fen used the most common standard one-handed sword. The crossguard was straight and slightly longer. This was to make up for the fact that the hilt of the one-handed sword was not very suitable for holding and exerting force with both hands. When necessary, one could hold the crossguard and exert force with it, such as stabbing or stabbing an enemy on the ground.
This kind of change in appearance according to the user's will was a considerable loss of energy for the Cassette Cutting. The energy that it could use was not the eight powers of the land of mystery, but a special energy that was converted from the eight powers. The conversion efficiency was quite low. Therefore, except for the partners that it recognized, the Cassette Cutting would not easily change its appearance.
However, the flaw that had always troubled Fen was that he would pollute and corrode his own items during the process of using Blink. This was not a problem for the Cassette Cutting. In fact, the chaotic high-dimensional energy that was regarded as troublesome during Blink was the best and most needed nourishment for the Cassette Cutting.
It even said to Fen boldly, "As long as you give me enough time, I can absorb energy in this special place. I may be able to transform into those special 'weapons' that you imagine. "
"Oh, how long will it take?"
"The smallest Man of Steel suit that you imagine has all the functions. I will probably be able to successfully transform after absorbing for about two hundred years."
… Give up.
"Don't you want to consider it? It's only two hundred years. "
There was really nothing in common with this kind of non-carbon-based life form.
The reason why Cassette Cutting looked so ordinary was, of course, because of a certain someone's low-key personality. But in fact, Cassette Cutting was not low-key at all after the change. The blade had a dull luster and seemed to have irregular patterns on it. This was because the surface of the blade was filled with tiny magic runes. In terms of program code, it was at least a gigabyte.
The reason why it was so troublesome to weave a set of magic patterns to be used on the Cassette Cutting was that other than using it as a weapon, someone also used the Cassette Cutting as a wand. Engraved on it were all kinds of battle magic, support, hindrance, and attack magic. The energy source was the special energy accumulated by Cassette Cutting itself.
In the past, when the Cassette Cutting clan cooperated with the wielder, they only used its' hardness' and self-healing properties. It did not involve excessive energy consumption. This was because when the energy was exhausted, it was equivalent to the Cassette Cutting clan's' death. '
But after knowing that someone could use Blink to quickly replenish energy, Cassette Cutting, in exchange, of course, also opened up more abilities to meet the needs of a certain someone. Of course, it was still impossible to change the appearance of the sword at will. Changing the shape, changing the volume, and density of the sword consumed a lot of energy.
And for Cassette Cutting, which could be used as a sword in close combat and as a wand in long-range combat, although a certain someone had spent a lot of effort on how to use Cassette Cutting to use magic, it did not mean that he had given up on strengthening his close combat skills.
Cassette Cutting's' hardness' and self-healing properties allowed it to maintain a sharp state for a long time as long as it was polished enough with a special method. This was how Cassette Cutting, which had become a weapon, had been used for a long time in the Land of Mystery. And some Warriors who had a foundation as Mages would, like a certain someone, add some enhancement magic to it and become a Magic Warrior. Of course, no one who had done this before had done it as exaggeratedly as a certain someone.
For weapons like swords and knives, the Land of Mystery's practice for a long time seemed to be quite enough and there was no room for improvement. But in front of the God of Science, how could one be superstitious about the practice of thousands of years ago being better than today's?
In modern times on Earth, the reason why no one could create legendary weapons that surpassed the Tang Mo knife, the Gurkha scimitar, and the Damascus knife was because the real top scientists were studying more powerful bombs or more accurate missiles. No one thought about how to create more advanced and powerful knives.
But just because the real top people in reality didn't think about it, it didn't mean that people in other fields didn't use their imagination. The so-called scientific progress was all about demand, imagination, and realization. The need for scientists to intervene was actually only in the last step.
What a certain someone tried to achieve with Cassette Cutting was the 'ultra-vibration' knife that he wanted to complete before but couldn't figure out, as well as the 'single-molecule' level of sharpness.
The former used high-frequency vibration to destroy the microscopic structure of the object in contact, thereby achieving the so-called 'cutting.' In fact, this had already been achieved on Earth. Some industrial or medical ultrasonic knives were a practice of this concept. But the equipment was quite large and the usable range was quite small. It couldn't achieve the level of 'weaponization' as in the anime.
But science could do it, magic couldn't figure out how to do it. Could Cassette Cutting do it? After discussing it with Boxee, it was perfectly realized as a super vibrating sword in the anime and manga, which amazed a certain someone.
The other was the concept of 'sharpness.' All matter was made up of molecules, so the theoretical smallest unit was a molecule. As for smaller elements or atoms, they couldn't exist alone in the environment of nature and form solid matter.
The requirement for the sharpness of a weapon was to be as thin and sharp as possible to achieve the purpose of cutting. Then the thinnest and sharpest state was the single-molecule structure.
In his impression, there was no way to do this on Earth before transmigration. That was an imagination that only existed in the anime. It couldn't be done in the maze, either. Shaping, which was used to control the shape of magic materials, couldn't achieve such detailed and microscopic control. But what about Cassette Cutting?
Before that, Roland gave it a lesson in molecular physics. Because Cassette Cutting was a life form from a higher dimension, its materialization in the maze was actually a manifestation of dimensionality reduction. In other words, they didn't really understand the physical characteristics of their own three-dimensional world in the maze, even though thousands of years had passed.
For life forms like them, time was meaningless, and so were the lives of their own kind. Therefore, they didn't hold a grudge against Finn for causing the internal strife of the Cassette Cutting family in the past, which led to the destruction of countless Cassette Cutting and the loss of their lives. According to them, every time a life was lost, another life would be born, and the living only needed to be blessed.
Cassette Cutting didn't say much about the world from which they came. Of course, it was hard for Roland to imagine how this kind of life form could be considered reasonable. But in terms of technological power, should it be described as a little crooked, or should it be said that it was on a different path compared to Earth?
When the knowledge of molecular structure was explained like Cassette Cutting, it achieved the so-called single-molecule sharpness. Even its atomic and molecular structure was changed, and it became a metal that didn't exist in the maze, or at least a special metal that Roland had never seen in the maze or Earth.
As a result, the Cassette Cutting's lethality reached an unimaginable level. In order to not be accidentally injured, Roland used very strong magic materials to make a sheath to store it, but the sheath was broken …
It seemed that the name "Cassette Cutting" came from not only the fact that the weapon was so sharp that nothing could store it, but also because it didn't like being locked up (wearing clothes), so any inanimate object that tried to completely cover it would be destroyed mercilessly.
In the end, Roland and Cassette Cutting reached an agreement that they wouldn't use the ultra-vibration mode and that the blade would be blunt. At that time, they could hold the blade and hit people with the hilt, or they could use Cassette Cutting as an ordinary wand. When they were in close combat, they could change the mode of the blade. In this way, they could use an ordinary rope to carry this capricious weapon, and they didn't have to hold it in their hands all the time.
Cassette Cutting easily accepted such a request. Because for it, maintaining the ultra-vibration mode would consume a lot of energy.
The single-molecule blade had the same problem. Because the single-molecule structure was easily affected by the dust in the air, such as side impact, friction, and so on, it wasn't easy to maintain. Using the self-healing feature to maintain the blade would also consume energy.
Moreover, the long-term maintenance of these two functions would consume far more energy than the slight adjustment of the form. Therefore, it wasn't surprising that Cassette Cutting would make such a choice.
At the same time, the short period of time they spent together made Roland understand one thing: why the previous owner of Cassette Cutting committed suicide.
Imagine if there was a voice that could be directly transmitted to one's mind without any hindrance. Then, as long as one had a thought, the other party would be aware of it, and there would be no room to lie or find an excuse. Then, any bad thoughts or scars from the past would be constantly questioned or warned by a certain curious lifeform. How could an ordinary person bear such a miserable situation?
The most damning thing was that the other party was a lifeform that didn't sleep 24 hours a day. Even if it was locked in a box, it would only destroy the contents of the box.
In this regard, Roland, who was mentally exhausted, couldn't figure out how the heroes or warriors who used to own Cassette Cutting could endure all this. However, this also reminded him that there was an expert who used to own Cassette Cutting Tools. So, Roland went to ask the Lich how to solve this problem.
"It's simple. I give them to my subordinates to use."
"Subordinates? Who? "
"The personal guards of Corpse Suture headed by Shi Dong."
… What was the natural enemy of a chatterbox? Without a doubt, it was the dead.
In the spirit of having fun alone, Roland told Cassette Cutting about the magic array that the Lich had once studied, which used the resonance of the air to produce sounds. Then, it became a situation where everyone on the ship fell into a state of mental exhaustion.
One day, just as Cassette Cutting was talking about the art of cutting in front of everyone on the ship, the Lich, who also had panda eyes, found Roland and said, "Find a way to solve that problem. Otherwise, I think the Millennium Travel Plan for Cassette Cutting's Dimensional Gap is a good solution. In order to make it remember to come back, it's a good choice to let your head accompany it. Also, you don't have to worry about dying after your head is cut off. Look at Shi Dong, he's still alive and well with only one head. "
In the end, Roland had an additional member who could freely enter and leave the Dream Magic Tower. The two avatars of Fat Otaku and Chuunibyou had an additional target for bickering with the silver-bearded dwarf guardian. Then, for the most part, the real world became peaceful, which was worth celebrating.
