Weapon seller in the world of magic

*Bam *Bam *Bam

A series of punches were being launched on the factory's barrier; the vibration generated from each punch was creating chaos within the factory while the cracks appeared on it. The barrier's recovery rate has dropped significantly after repetitions.

Xie Tianyu continued to launch punches while replenishing his ether energy at the same time, not taking his opponents any lightly.

Minutes passed, and the cracks only became bigger and bigger as the barrier's self-healing was reduced to the point that it didn't seem like it was working anymore.

"Just one more hit to go."

Xie Tianyu halted his series of rapid punches at once and motioned his right arm to the back, clenching his fist and gathering his ether energy into his arm.

His arm buffed for a second; the veins popped up, and a tremendous amount of ether energy erupted before he threw it at the cracked barrier, "Ha."

With a punch force as big as a mountain and as fast as lightning, Xie Tianyu's punch struck the barrier.

A sound akin to that of a glass break was heard in his ears before the entire barrier disappeared above the factory.

*Critical Alert*

Emergency alarms rang all over the factory as announcements were heard all over.

Attention: Catastrophic system failure detected.

The defense barrier was obliterated. Core systems at risk of external exposure. Forcefully activating the Guardian system. Please Evacuate. I repeat: The defense barrier was obliterated. Core systems are at risk of external exposure. Forcefully activating the Guardian system. Please Evacuate.

Meanwhile, inside the building section of the factory, Shang Jiao was in the middle of meditation. She was absolutely unaware of what was going on in her surroundings, although the orb of time continued to work, slowing down the time inside that particular section.

Ark Tertius was working his best to increase the rate of building the warhead.

Upon listening to the announcements, Jingwei, the immortal bird, became serious, "The enemy is here. I'm going to stop him as much as I can. You take care." She clenched her trembling fists but she looked determined.

Ark Tertius replied, "The estimated additional time you can give us, with your current strength, is 40 seconds of the outside world. There is no point. I shall take over the system and activate the self-destruct mode of the guardian. When the enemy gets injured, it is recommended for you to go there and give the finishing blow."

Back to Xie Tianyu, after the barrier was removed, he entered the factory tower and looked around.

The machines and the technology caused another headache for him. Xie Tiaynu couldn't help but be confused even more, "Ugh… ever since I came to this place, I'm getting these blurred fragmented memories… I recognize these things but not sure where it is from. What kind of spell they put here."

"Ugh…" He fell to one of his knees, the headache increased even more and a voice heard in his head with blurred memories continued.

"Allen… what do you think?"

"Allen… this is where we make the bullet cases…"

"Look at this… this is our newest batch, the M-445 mini guns…"

"Sorry, but the missile building section is restricted. You can't go there. But, I'll take you to a fun place…"

"Woah… you have a bowling place…"

"This is Maggie. One of my researching partners." *whisper* "Your future sister-in-law." "Woah, she's so beautiful." "*scoff* You wish, Mark. That's never going to happen."

"Shhh… keep quiet. This is a restricted section. They will sack me if they knew that I brought you here."

"Woah, this is your grand project, Meteor missile, the one that can strike any place in the world? It was as big as a rocket."

"Sshhh… keep your voice down." "Sorry." "But, it hasn't been completed. We are currently trying to make it lighter though, as it didn't satisfy my superior's requirements. Once this is completed, I was promised a four-week vacation."

Back to the Present;

As Xie Tianyu was sitting on the floor and meditating to remove unnecessary thoughts from his mind, a giant robot as big as twenty feet was seen walking toward him, shaking the floor with each heavy step.

It was pitch black in color, and at one glance, one could see that it wasn't a coating. The only metal known in the universe that has a natural black color is adamantium.

"While this is surprising, I should have expected this much from this place…" mumbled Xie Tianyu as he rose to his feet before charging forward with a tightened fist. He punched at it to test his suspicion.

However, just when his punch was about to crash into him, The guardian's eyes suddenly turned scarlet, and its hands shot forward like lightning, contrary to its earlier mediocre speed; the robot captured Xie Tianyu in its embrace.

"Berserk Mode, activate." "Self-destruction mode, activate."

"Wha…"

Feeling too suppressed by the superior physique of this robot, Xie Tianyu was about to release ether energy from his body to forcefully free himself, but before it happened, the giant robot of rank 10 proceeded to destroy its core, which turned into a condensed ball of nuclear energy and push it into his body.

Xie Tianyu didn't even get any time to resist the first and the final attack of the factory guardian, on Ark Tertius' instructions.

*Thud* Find more chapters on empire

The giant robot fell to the floor while Xie Tianyu once again went down to his knees, but this time, it wasn't because of the headache but due to the nuclear blast that happened inside his body, releasing thirty megatons TNT of worth of energy.

"Arghh…"

He was roaring in pain; his entire body was hot red, and steam was generating from his body, which was slowly turning into dried flesh. Almost all the water, as well as the blood, was evaporated. His organs and meridians were damaged. His eyesight was gone, and his breathing became too difficult.

In no time, he went from being the overpowered enemy to the one who is on the brink of his death.

The divine energy from his soul gushed out to repair his body. He was suspended in an oval-shaped barrier of his divine energy, floating in mid-air.

It was at this moment that Jingwei rushed out in the form of a bird, her strongest state; she charged at her peak speed, with flames enveloping her and turning her into a flaming bird.

Jingwei struck the divine barrier with her entire strength. However, it was only heavily cracked.

"Not enough… I need to try again."

Jingwei flew back to create distance, turning into a flaming bird once again, and attacked the barrier.

This time, the barrier was successfully destroyed.

"Yes. Now, it is time to put him into dea… Hmmm?" Jingwei then saw the destroyed barrier turned into the specks of light suddenly transforming into a mass of divine energy and rushing toward Xie Tianyu, who was enveloped by a blinding flash of light.

The mass of divine energy flew through Jingwei, pushing her away in the process as it flew back into Xie Tianyu.

Soon, the blinding flash of light disappeared, leaving behind Xie Tianyu, who looked significantly recovered his strength. However, his facial expression looked different from before. Previously, there was confidence but calmness.

Now, it was filled with vast coldness enough to make Jingwei shiver in fear for a moment.

Casting a silent cold gaze at the bird, Xie Tianyu raised his arm; a golden energy arm stretched out of his palm, caught the bird's throat.

Jingwei flapped her wings and struggled to get free but Xie Tianyu's grip was very tight.

With a thought, the golden arm retracted back to him with Jingwei still in his grasp.

Once the bird reached a foot distance, he stopped and gave a closer look at her, who was screeching in pain. He raised his free hand and conjured a divine spear.

He was about to pierce her head, but suddenly froze in the spot.

His eyes moved left and right but his entire body was frozen. The immortal bird was also frozen in her spot.

"The time was frozen?" His eyes fluttered for a second before a person appeared in his sight.

With the glowing orb of time hovering over her head, Shang Jiao was seen floating in the air with her icy wings erupting from her back. With her eyes fixed on the enemy, she grabbed the Ice Spear in her hand and flapped her icy wings to charge at him.

The Spear struck his chest and froze him in ice instantly, freeing Jingwei in the process, and together with his frozen body, Shang Jiao flew to the outside of the palace and threw him on the ground.

The time was unfrozen once again while the orb of time continued to glow in the same position, slowing down time further in the factory.

Ark Tertius' eyes glowed to observe the changes, "820 times the time slow. Estimated time to complete the project: 61 minutes real time."

Outside the factory, Xie Tianyu got up to his feet after his divine energy melted down the ice and raised his head to stare at Shang Jiao, "So, this is the final boss, huh? But, it looked like I needed to replenish my strength more. The artifact isn't as useful as I expected either. It cannot completely let me bypass the world laws." The divine energy gushed out of his body once again, recovering his strength and healing himself.

Shang Jiao looked at him and raised her spear.

Xie Tianyu stretched his palm to create a divine shield to stop it.

The sixteen-year-old threw the spear using her entire strength in her arms. However, to his surprise, instead of striking his divine shield, it went past him and struck the Domain barrier.

A part of the domain barrier materialized in the form of ice and Shang Jiao let out a smile as she flapped her wings and charged at it.

*Sshhhh*

A hole appeared in the domain barrier and she flew out.

Xie Tianyu: "…"

He looked at her back in a daze as she was slowly becoming smaller and smaller, "did she escape? I thought that was the factory's guardian."
