What’s even more magical is that the carving knife seems to be able to "perceive" the energy distribution of the first layer of runes, automatically selecting the most suitable path for the construction of the second layer.
"This feeling..."
Ron analyzed in his mind while engraving:
"It’s like collaborating with some higher level of intelligence.
I provide the basic design idea, while ’Creator’s Blessing’ provides the specific implementation scheme.
This goes beyond the scope of personal skill, more like borrowing some... cosmic level of creative force."
The design of the third layer of runes is the most complex part.
Ron needs to engrave resonance runes on the bullet that can cooperate with ’Spiritual Shock’.
These runes must not only carry spiritual attacks but also amplify and guide the attack effect, transforming pure mental impact into destructive power capable of causing physical damage.
With the material affinity bonus of the ’Enchanter’ profession, he discovered some extremely tiny natural crystalline structures inside the iron ball.
These crystals are only one-thousandth the size of a hair, impossible to detect with ordinary observational methods.
But their existence is crucial.
These microcrystals are like natural spiritual power conductors, perfectly capable of carrying and transmitting spiritual energy.
"This is no coincidence..."
A trace of deep thought flashed through Ron’s eyes:
"When I initially chose this specific iron alloy to make bullets, I thought it was merely based on considerations of cost and hardness.
But now it seems that subconsciously I might have perceived some deeper level of suitability."
In the process of engraving the third layer of runes, ’Creator’s Blessing’ began to play a deeper role.
Ron found himself able to develop some unprecedented rune combinations, entirely designed based on an intuitive understanding of the essence of energy.
As he engraved these new runes, subtle fluctuations occurred in the surrounding space.
It was as if reality itself was making way for this act of creation, allowing these unconventional designs to be realized.
As the triple enchantment was about to be completed, the three different enchantment effects began to merge, forming a unified compound system.
This integration was not a simple overlay but an organic fusion.
The energy conduction runes provide stable energy supply for amplification and disruption;
The enhancement runes amplify the power of the spiritual disruption several times;
The spiritual disruption runes, in turn, guide the explosive energy to form more precise destructive effects.
The three originally independent systems now work like different organs of a living body, supporting and enhancing each other.
Ron held his breath, carefully completing the last strokes of the runes.
When the final connecting line was completed, the entire bullet began to emit a faint and eerie purple glow.
The surface runes flowed slowly like living entities, as if countless tiny tentacles were crawling inside the metal.
Through in-depth detection by ’Extraordinary Recognition’, he was shocked to find that this was no longer an ordinary alchemy weapon.
Inside the bullet, a complex structure similar to a biological neural network had formed.
It could actively perceive nearby hostile spiritual waves and adjust its attack mode according to the target’s characteristics.
"This is no longer a simple alchemy weapon, but a... living tactical system."
Ron’s voice was filled with irrepressible excitement:
"The effect of ’Creator’s Blessing’ far exceeds expectations, if this fusion technology is applied to larger-scale projects..."
He did not pursue this line of thought further, as some instinctive alertness told him that certain ideas are best not expressed too clearly at the level of consciousness.
The test results were astounding.
Ron threw the bullet at the test target in the corner of the workshop.
It was a special device used to test weapon power.
The moment the bullet left his hand, Ron sensed its anomaly.
The trajectory, which should have been flying straight, began to subtly adjust as if actively seeking the best attack angle.
Even more bizarre was that he could feel the bullet was "thinking", a vague but indeed existent wave of consciousness.
When the explosion occurred, the power was nearly doubled compared to before the improvements.
But the truly surprising aspect was not the enhanced power, but the complexity of the explosion mode.
It was not a simple energy release but a strategic, multi-layered attack sequence:
First came the physical shockwave, destroying the target’s outer defenses;
Then came the spiritual disruption wave, interfering with the target’s consciousness and reaction abilities;
Finally, energy erosion, continuously weakening the target’s defenses and life energy.
Even as the creator, Ron could feel the extreme discomfort of spiritual oppression ten meters away.
That feeling was like countless cold tentacles crawling in the depths of consciousness, trying to spy on and erode the core region of thought.
"This attack mode..."
Ron frowned while analyzing the test results:
"It can cause damage on both physical and spiritual levels, and it has a certain ’learning’ ability."
He began calculating the feasibility of mass production, knowing that not all iron alloys have such special internal structures.
"It seems necessary to find more materials with similar traits,"
Ron formulated a follow-up plan in his mind:
"Or study how to artificially cultivate this microcrystal structure. If the technology for directional material modification can be mastered, the problem of mass production will be resolved."
But his greater excitement came from the deeper understanding of the ’Three-in-One’ effect.
This success not only proved the enormous potential of professional synergy, but more importantly, it pointed to the direction for future research.
