Otaku Witch

"Ah, Miss Black Cat, are you sure this is a Magic Wand?"

Dorothy looked astonished at the box that had been opened before her, then she raised her head to look at Miss Black Cat, who appeared somewhat awkward.

Witches' Magic Wands come in many styles, and she knew this well, but even so, Miss Black Cat's creation had given her quite a shock.

Home Martial Soul gazed at the cold firearm lying quietly inside the box, unsure what to say for a moment.

Well, gun-shaped Magic Wands are actually quite common. For instance, her sister Alice's Magic Wand is a pair of black and white pistols. Besides pistols, submachine guns, sniper rifles, and even hand cannons are quite popular.

However, everyone else at least wielded light firearms, but now, inside this equipment box...

Sister, isn't a Gatling gun a bit too much? And a normal Gatling might have been fine, but this ten-meter-long Gatling, what are you trying to do with this? Is that supposed to be a barrel? Even tank cannons aren't this caliber.

Looking at the brutal weapon that nearly filled the high-grade equipment box, capable of spatial folding and having an internal space six times larger than its exterior, Dorothy's eyes twitched slightly.

This conspicuous thing, if brought to the battlefield, wouldn't it just be targeted and fired upon?

But to be fair, aside from its overly exaggerated size, this Gatling gun is quite majestic, especially the design full of Great Dragon elements, the dragon horn that made up the scope, and that huge, black, thick barrel extending out from the fierce dragon's mouth, it had a violent aesthetic that was utterly cool. (Refer to the design of Black Rock's heavy artillery, added with a Great Dragon skin.)

The Dragon Witch could hardly resist such a temptation. Dorothy couldn't help herself; her hands instinctively reached out and gripped the slender handle at the rear of the heavy cannon, mismatched with the huge cannon body.

Speaking of which, the shape of this heavy cannon was truly unique. The rear was quite thin, about thirty centimeters in diameter, but it got much bigger towards the outside, the thickest part of the barrel being about a meter thick, making it look somewhat top-heavy.@@novelbin@@

As soon as Dorothy gripped the handle, suddenly a sound of mechanical transformation rang out. Then, a layer of armor popped out from the rear of the heavy cannon, swallowing her entire forearm and fixing her arm and the entire cannon into a single unit.

"Emmm, this design is quite considerate."

Home Martial Soul thought to herself and then tried to lift her arm.

She couldn't lift it...

Dorothy: "..."

Home Martial Soul looked again at the alchemist lady in front of her, unable to help asking.

"Miss Black Cat, could I presumptuously ask what material this cannon is made of?"

Although she hadn't exerted much force just now—only trying to lift her arm normally—her Strength Attribute was A-level. Normally, lifting a few tons with one arm was a breeze for her, tossing a road roller at someone as easy as flipping her hand, but this time her force had merely jostled the heavy cannon slightly, which was a bit excessive.

"I just added a bit of Demon-Suppressing Jade Steel."

Upon hearing this question, Miss Black Cat lowered her head, looking even more embarrassed, but she still gestured a little bit with her hand and then responded.

Dorothy: "..."

Damn... wasn't that material used to make armor for Witch Battleships? You're using that kind of material for a Magic Wand? Are you out of your mind?

As a witch who knew a thing or two about Alchemy, Dorothy was familiar with Demon-Suppressing Jade Steel, a high-grade magical steel material. Normally, an entire large iron mine would be consumed just to refine a block about the size of a person, which showed the value of this material.

As for the properties of this material, well, just four words: both hard and heavy.

The weight of the Demon-Suppressing Jade Steel, as tall as a person, is about tens of thousands of tons. As for how hard it is, even if a meteorite were to strike a plate of this steel, it would at most only cause a slight bend. Moreover, its resistance to physical as well as magical attacks is very high, hence the name includes the words 'Demon-Suppressing.'

Generally, a little bit of Demon-Suppressing Jade Steel is added to the outer layer of the armor plating of a witch's battle robe to greatly enhance its defensive power. However, only a little can be added; otherwise, the robe would become too heavy.

Beyond armor, adding a touch of Demon-Suppressing Jade Steel during the forging process can make melee cold weapons sharper or heavier, which is ideal for crafting heavy weapons.

Of course, the main use of Demon-Suppressing Jade Steel is still for warship armor. However, due to its expensive price, generally only high-level warships can afford armor made of Demon-Suppressing Jade Steel.

Anyway, Dorothy had never heard of anyone using this material to make a magic wand. Besides, if you did, wouldn't it be more like a Jingu Bang? It's the kind that could smash an enemy's head with a single swing.

Moreover, this material has poor magic conductivity, making it really unsuitable for making magic wands, which generally require materials with good magic conductivity.

But she had finally understood why she couldn't lift the cannon before—it was far heavier than its massive size suggested.

Ha ha, just a tiny bit, I don't believe you, that must be a tiny bit on a cosmic scale. Find your next read on My Virtual Library Empire

"Are you sure this magic wand is designed for a witch?"

Dorothy commented with a twitch in her eye.

As a Dragon Witch, if she found this magic wand heavy, then surely no other witch could normally use it. Even a Titan Giant witch known for her strength might struggle, and it would probably take a Pureblood Dragon or a Pureblood Giant to handle such a deadly weapon.

Hearing her complaint, Miss Black Cat's head was almost buried in her own mountain-range-like chest.

"I didn't want to, but other materials simply couldn't withstand the power of the ammunition pressurizing system. I tried for a long time, and only Demon-Suppressing Jade Steel was strong enough," she said with a sense of grievance.

"Ammunition pressurizing system? What's that?"

Dorothy asked curiously, catching on to the term quickly.

The Home Martial Soul looked at the heavy cannon in her hands and did indeed find several huge objects resembling cooling stacks at the back of the dragon's neck.

"It's a brand new overloaded magic wand system I've been working on. It can increase magic consumption to form magic ammunition, and at the instant of magical artillery release, it consumes this magic ammunition, significantly enhancing the final magical power," explained Miss Black Cat as she scratched her face, a bit embarrassed.

"But this system is still under development. It has major issues. This Magic Dragon Destruction Cannon is the only piece I have finished, but I've not been able to find anyone to use it. I can't gather enough data. I thought His Excellency the Clown, being a Grand Inquisitor, might be able to handle this heavy cannon, but it seems it's still too much...."

"I'll do it..."

Before Miss Black Cat could finish, Dorothy raised her hand and lifted the massive cannon high, her eyes gleaming as she looked at the astonished alchemist.

"Young lady, I'm very interested in your idea. I think we can discuss it in detail, in much detail," she said.

Upon hearing of the increased firepower, the Home Martial Soul couldn't hear anything else.

What's this about weight? That's a minor issue. If brute force won't do, doesn't she have the Martial God Techniques? No big deal at all.
