Lord of the Sky City

All data for the White Demon Armor was performing normally, allowing Orton and others to finally relax.

Although numerous tests had been conducted before, wearing the armor in reality was a completely different matter from just testing. Therefore, even with high confidence in the White Demon Armor, everyone was still somewhat apprehensive when Rocky put it on and began a series of tests.

Now it seemed, Orton and his team's efforts weren't in vain. They had invested a lot of Gold Coins and sheer hard work to develop this new model of armor, and it was quite successful.

Of course, this success was only in terms of basic functions, meaning the armor could fly, move, and its Magic Energy operated without issues. But to truly validate a new armor model, many other aspects needed to be checked, such as its critical combat capabilities!

While there are indeed some who treat Void Magic Armor as mere showy props, the true purpose of such armors is still combat. Therefore, to verify whether an armor is up to standard or even exceptional, its combat ability is of utmost importance!

And in this regard, the White Demon Armor was naturally no slouch.

Thanks to the powerful Magic Energy support, Orton and his team had included a rich array of weapon systems in the armor, most of which were modifications from the old fourth-generation armor weapon systems. Additionally, a smaller part consisted of new weapons developed through their original technology. In any case, Orton and his team had fitted all the weapons they could currently equip onto the White Demon Armor!

So after about fifteen minutes, when Rocky flew around Thunderhawk City and returned to the research facility, the testing for this part began!

The testing of the weapon systems was naturally more complicated than basic testing because of the many factors involved, from the operation of the weapons to their strength and power, and even the armor's application of these weapons in actual combat scenarios were part of the test items.

Because it was too complex, Orton and his team decided to first let Rocky familiarize himself with the White Demon Armor's weapon systems and initially test each weapon's operating conditions. Specific data and such would be saved for his participation in Arena matches later, where further observations would be made. After all, weapons are meant for real combat, and testing them in actual combat scenarios is also the most effective way to see results.

"Kid, how does it feel?"

When Rocky, clad in the White Demon Armor, returned, Orton asked him via the Magic Energy Communicator.

"Thrilling!"

"Awesome!"

"Super fast!"

After the question, Rocky's incredibly excited voice came through the communicator, clearly showing how thrilled he was from his recent flight around Thunderhawk City!

Indeed, Rocky truly felt exceptionally thrilled right now, as before this he had only worn the Blood Pattern Mark II Armor, which, even after several enhancements, had a magic energy value that never exceeded 1000. So, when he put on the White Demon Armor, which had a magic energy value of 10,000, the feeling was absolutely mind-blowing.

"City Lord, kid, don't get too excited yet. We've hardly just begun,"

Seeing Rocky so thrilled, Hammerfire laughed and chided him, then said, "Now let's test the weapon systems, and then you can get excited."

"Alright!"

Hearing they were about to test weapons, Rocky naturally became even more excited.

The Blood Pattern Mark II Armor, which he previously wore, was the most outdated model, so its weapon system was hardly worth mentioning; aside from a standard regulation sword, the whole armor had only one Mana Launcher, which could only fire Magic Energy Bullets as effectively as scratching an itch. Because of this, Rocky was full of anticipation for the White Demon Armor's weapon system.

"City Lord, the White Demon's melee weapon is on your left leg. Let me teach you how to use it…"

"Left leg?"

Hearing Hammerfire, Rocky looked down at the armor's left leg and then tried Hammerfire's method. Click - a handle popped out from the position of the left leg bracer.

Holding the hilt in his hand, Rocky activated the magic energy runes on it, and the sword formed gradually from the magic energy materialization!

"This is a Mana Sword driven by magic energy provided by the runes, and your right bracer can unfold a matching Magic Energy Shield," said Hammerfire.

As Hammerfire had described, Rocky then raised his right arm, and upon activating the magic energy, a shield formed from the magic energy materialization appeared.

"The Mana Sword and Magic Energy Shield are White Demon Armor's melee weapons. The magic energy consumed by both is independently accounted for by the runes. However, if needed, additional magic energy can be supplied by the armor to increase the attack and defense strength," Hammerfire explained.

"Besides the melee weapons, the armor's right hand is also equipped with a triple-fire Mana Launcher capable of firing a Magic Energy Cannon with a power of 200 points."

"You can try it," Hammerfire suggested.

While they were speaking, Hammerfire pointed towards a large rock in the courtyard. Rocky turned around and lifted his right arm to aim at the rock.

Bang, bang, bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

Under Rocky's operation, the Mana Launcher on his right arm immediately shot out three Magic Energy Bullets. Just after two sets of consecutive shots, the targeted rock was shattered into pieces.

"Very good," Hammerfire remarked, nodding in approval of the power, before continuing, "Besides the arm's Mana Launcher, the White Demon Armor's shoulders can also fire Magic Bullets to aid in close-range attacks."

"Additionally, there's a small Magic Energy Beam Cannon on the waist of the armor. It can perform long-range attacks when fired concentrated, or disrupt nearby enemies with scattering beams if dispersed," Hammerfire added.

"Moreover, six Smoke Grenades are hidden inside the backplate of the armor; they can be used for cover when necessary, but don't try it now; it produces too much smoke," he advised.

"In terms of defense, apart from the Magic Energy Shield, you can also deploy a three-meter diameter Defensive Net capable of withstanding any attacks below 3000 magic energy points. Attacks exceeding this value will also have a similar magnitude of their power negated," he explained.

"As for the ultimate weapon of this armor, it is the high-powered Magic Energy Beam Cannon hidden inside the chest plate…"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Hammerfire's words, driven by curiosity, Rocky immediately activated the high-powered Magic Energy Beam Cannon, a weapon he not only heard of but also witnessed in action. During the elimination of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group, Karina had destroyed an Escort Ship with a single shot from this weapon!

Suddenly, the front of the White Demon Armor opened, revealing a huge cannon hidden within the chest plate!

At the same time, the magic energy inside the chest plate began to rapidly gather towards the cannon mouth.

"Stop! Damn kid, stop!"

Just then, Orton's voice suddenly appeared as he shouted into the Magic Energy Communicator, "This beam cannon is too powerful and is still being adjusted. You mustn't use it, or you'll blow up the research facility itself!"

Upon hearing Orton's words, Rocky was startled and quickly canceled the magic energy beam cannon that was about to fire.

Only when the chest plate of the White Demon Armor closed again did Orton and the others breathe a sigh of relief. They had indeed been scared. As Orton mentioned, all other weapon systems of the White Demon Armor had been verified and adjusted and were generally safe. The only exception was the large-caliber Magic Energy Beam Cannon, because it was simply too powerful!
