Chapter 198
I stopped by Lapis’s mechanical maintenance room.
“Ah, Luka? Just a moment. Let me finish this first.”
Lapis was manipulating a blueprint while projecting a hologram. As her hands moved, the parts of the holographic blueprint changed and spun around.
I waited for Lapis to finish her work before bringing up my business. We discussed the preheating process of the Firelight Saber.
“A device to amplify the heat of the Firelight? Hmm, I wouldn’t recommend it. The design is already incredibly intricate. I don’t want to mess with it unnecessarily.”
Lapis spoke with a slightly troubled expression. However, I firmly pressed the issue.
“In battles at this level, the fight is often decided before preheating is even complete. I once fought someone who wielded two Firelight blades. He would strike them together to instantly finish the preheating process.”
“That’s right. The best method is to use a homogeneous metal... like ignium, as a whetstone for friction. That’s probably the most effective approach.”
“But ignium isn’t a metal you can just get whenever you want, is it?”
Lapis nodded. Sitting in her swivel chair, she spun around a few times before stopping.
“Should we carry a high-combustion substance and scatter it to ignite a fire?”
