The buildings in the area are jet black, surrounded by steel black fences.
Approaching them, one can feel a faint aura of thunder on the fences.
In addition, the entire area has one watchtower after another.
On the watchtowers, heavy magic-powered weapons can be seen.
These weapons were developed by Simon and the current Vastva researchers by reproducing those manuscripts and studies.
The results of this research were created by the same researchers who previously installed the space cannon on their ship.
Although not as outrageous as the space cannon, these weapons can still gather specific elements to produce highly penetrating attacks.
These items are needed for their future plans.
As soon as the two appeared in this area, they immediately alerted the nearby guards.
The guards are also driving mechas painted entirely black.
These mechas are clearly quite different from those they encountered when they first arrived.
Back then, because of limited materials, the mechas were made very crudely, with exposure wherever possible to save on resources, but now these mechas are fully enclosed for protection.
The drivers are also tightly secured inside, equipped with powerful weapons.
This does come at a high cost.
Even the vast wealth inherited by the Vastva people caused them a bit of pain.
Upon recognizing Alka and the others, the guards immediately nodded their mechanical arms as a gesture of respect.
Alka and his companion nodded in response and entered the largest building in the center.
This is also a research site.
But judging by its appearance, it is clear the research done here is not of a benevolent nature.
After passing through multiple layers of protection, they arrived at the innermost area.
This is a pure white room.
Yet in the center of the room, a demon is trapped here.
This demon has reached the sixth stage, a mid-level strength among demons.
A demon of substantive and quantitative force.
This demon is a powerful demon with a name and reputation, whose capture took considerable effort on the part of Alka and his team.
The primary purpose of this building is to isolate the demon from any connection with the outside world and the abyss.
To prevent any bizarre occurrences.
Around them, the Vastva people are using various mechanical equipment or spell methods to research the demon.
Because, in Vastva’s history, demons are not considered overly threatening.
They have scarcely even seen demons.
When the Wattawa city-state was destroyed, demons were not yet rampant, or perhaps at that time, they were unlikely to be rampant.
Though the world was eventually shattered by demons, it was due to the acquiescence of various powerful beings.
Before that, the abyss and demons were insignificant to the world.
Though Vastva was not considered a major force during that Golden Era, their research and legacy prove to be very powerful weapons against these demons.
Now, these Vastva people are researching weapons against demons.
The reason is simple.
They are preparing to integrate into the world.
The World Scar is the best location.
It is sufficiently dangerous, with large territories and plenty of desolate areas.
In the wilderness, as long as you lean towards humanity and are strong enough, you need not fear demon attacks or cultist harassment. You can easily claim a piece of land as your domain.
Even if you don’t claim it, it remains just a wasteland.
Doesn’t this provide Vastva people the best opportunity to integrate into this world?
With their technological capabilities, they can even contribute to the ongoing demon warfare.
Providing necessary technological support.
This will allow them to establish a foothold in this world more quickly.
This was proposed by Alka and his team and accepted by the Wattawa Elder Council.
Upon entering, they saw a slender dagger embedded in the demon’s body.
The demon suddenly awoke, eyes wide with anguish, trying to howl, but his mouth was sealed by machinery, unable to make any sound.
It can only struggle in torment.
Its massive strength rattled the surrounding mechanical devices.
This is because the demon was already weakened, with most of its power in a state of feebleness, indicating the pain caused by that dagger.
"Material #3 combined with the Poisonous Soul Spell produces remarkable effects on demons. The damage inflicted is normal, but the pain is exponentially amplified.
Record it down, only effective against demons. Based on current samples, it has significant effects on force demons."
Commented a Vastva scholar overseeing the research nearby.
Simon stood nearby, arms crossed, watching.
Sensing Alka and his team’s arrival, he walked over.
"You’re leaving?"
Upon hearing this, Alka shook his head.
"Planning to stay a while longer, until the opportunity arises."
Simon nodded upon hearing this.
"Continue the experiment, I just came to take a look."
...
Time passed.
Over the following month, Alka and his team, while at the Demon Hunting Fortress, occasionally heard some news from the Demon-Defending Fortress.
