Outside the laboratory, Lyra sat on a maintenance bench, her hands propping up her cheeks as she quietly gazed at the magic-energy-driven sword before her.
Besides the magic-energy musket designed to counter long-range magical bombardments, the city defense cannon, and plasma throw bombs, Charlotte had invented numerous close-combat weapons for soldiers to arm themselves with.
For example, the sword in front of her now, engraved with elemental crystals at the junction between hilt and blade, ensured that the user didn't need to expend mental energy to manipulate elemental particles. The moment the blade touches an elemental barrier, the crystal behind it will automatically generate an enchantment of the corresponding elemental magic, helping the user break through the shield.
