<h4>Chapter 923: Tempted, an interesting idea</h4>


    Wu Yan watched as the heavily armored mecha continued firing redsers at its surrounding. The mechanical spider destroyed everything near it. He gasped as he asked Natsuki.


    "Are you sure that’s an ancient weapon? Isn’t that something brought here from the future?"


    "What did you think the ancient weapon was? You thought it was going to be an ape throwing stones around or something?"


    Natsuki quipped. She looked at Nkuvera.


    "Before the age of humans, there were many civilizations with achievements and relics we have yet to full uncover. Just look at that thing, do you think we can replicate that with our current technology?"


    "True..."


    Wu Yan sighed, he got curious soon enough.


    "Even so, I don’t think it can kill a primogenitor, I just don’t see something like that wiping out entire civilization..."


    "Did you think I didn’t ask myself that question?"


    Natsuki continued with a grim look.


    "It’s not at that level yet, it might sound like the rumors were hyped out of proportion..."


    "But, I tried to destroy it. That lump of scrap metal has a learning module in it, it’s continuously adapting to its environment, even bing immune to powers that harmed it before."


    "Wait, it developed immunity to repeated attacks?"


    Wu Yan frowned.


    "If it’s just that, I can still end it with overwhelming power, that would get around the annoying evolutionary trait it has."


    Natsuki continuedining with a headache assaulting her.


    "When injured, that thing can gather materials around it to transfigure and repair itself."


    "Automatic repair?"


    Wu Yan finally got intrigued.


    "If it can repair itself while learning to be immune to previously encountered attacks..."


    "Ah..."


    Natsuki growled.


    "It’s a machine that’s nigh indestructible and bes stronger the longer a fight drags on."


    "I see..."


    Wu Yan shook his head.


    "That’s troubling..."


    "No, it’s not over yet"


    Natsuki looked at Wu Yan.


    "Nkuvera is annoying to handle, but you, you have two beasts that can erase it from existence, right?..."


    "Eh?..."


    Wu Yan gasped.


    "How did you know about the powers of my familiars?..."


    "Saa, who knows?..."


    Natsuki used a very irresponsible tone with him.


    "Maybe I guessed it?..."


    "Impressive..."


    Wu Yan praised her, Natsuki snorted in response.


    "If that’s settled, go deal with that thing!"


    "You sure know to delegate to your kouhai."


    Wu Yan grinned bitterly. He looked at Nkuvera and his eyes shed with brilliance.


    "s, you’re about to be disappointed."


    Natsuki flinched when she heard him.


    "It can repair itself and evolve to be immune to previous attacks..."


    Wu Yan licked his lips with excitement.


    "Nkuvera, huh? I am interested..."


    "What do you mean by that?"


    Natsuki turned around.


    "Don’t tell me..."


    "Well..."


    Wu Yan chortled.


    "Stay put and watch..."


    Wu Yan instantly teleported behind Nkuvera much to Natsuki’s shock.


    The mecha continued sting everything around it to oblivion. Like a headless fly, the mecha’s behavior pleased Wu Yan. He walked up to the mecha and he tried to put his hand on it.


    Zwing


    Wu Yan’s hand stopped before he can touch it. A forcefield stopped him.


    The forcefield rippled when Wu Yan touched it, he was only 10 centimeters away from touching Nkuvera. He couldn’t break past that shield.


    "A barrier?"


    Wu Yan assessed the situation. Then, Nkuvera turned around rapidly, unlike its sloppy movement from a few seconds before, the mecha locked on to Wu Yan.


    The mecha’s single red eye zoomed in on Wu Yan like it’s scanning the new foe.


    After confirming its target, the appendages fired off two beams of sizzling hotsers.


    "Hmph..."


    Wu Yan disappeared from his spot. The twosers continued gouging the ground, leaving two trails of molten ground and thick smoky trails. The beams ended with fiery explosions near the end of its attack phase.


    "That’s annoying..."


    Wu Yan stood on top of the mecha. More urately speaking, he’s standing on Nkuvera’s barrier.


    "I have to settle this barrier first..."


    Nkuvera shook Wu Yan off.


    Wu Yan stepped on air and he stayed in the air. With a swipe, a ripple in space opened near his right hand, he drew out a nimble ming de.


    "Burn everything to a crisp..."


    The de responded to Wu Yan’s call. Nietono no Shana spewed mes forward, engulfing the ind in a sea of mes, the blue sky turned red with this me wave. Hot air filled the area.


    Then, the sea of mes gathered like a ming maelstrom onnd. Next, the concentrated mes went for Nkuvera with a giant pir of mes.


    Boom


    The mes devoured the mecha and its surroundings.


    The devastating fire attack swallowed up the structures near the mecha, burning hot air swept outwards.


    The artificial ind became a no man’snd in an instant.


    "That fool!"


    Natsuki teleported to the fringes of the artificial ind. She watched as he burned an entire ind, she berated him.


    "That’s going too far!"


    No matter what she said, this ind is destined to be rebuilt, with this level of damage, it’s already a miracle it’s not sinking.


    Nkuvera writhed like a moth in mes, its struggling weakened by the second.


    It’s not shutting down, far from it, it’s adapting to the intense mes, slowly regaining optimal function.


    With a few more seconds, it would be able to move around unhindered even on this burning ind.


    But, its shield was down.


    Wu Yan teleported to the mecha and he ced his hand on it.


    A sword imprint circle formed on the mecha, red light covered Nkuvera as volcanic veins of red magical lines permeated the mecha like infectious tendrils. It covered the mecha in no time at all.


    Nkuvera sensed a foreign power so it struggled to free itself. However, it slowly stopped still. Then, it went into standby-mode.


    Wu Yanughed.


    "There! I turned it into a Noble Phantasm!"
