Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.
Chapter 20 The Piercing Duke Sherlock
Sherlock was unaware of the immense psychological trauma he had inflicted on Ethan, an ordinary man. After completely eliminating everyone in the cave, Sherlock stood casually at the cave entrance.
Outside the cave, countless terrorists had already aimed their rifles and cannons at the entrance. The moment Sherlock appeared, a barrage of bullets mixed with RPG shells rained down on him.
Despite the countless bullets and RPG fire, Sherlock remained calm. However, this time, unlike in the cave, he did not immediately attack. Instead, he held his spear and walked step by step toward the center of the valley.
Wherever he passed, bullets turned into flower petals, and artillery fire vanished without a trace. Sherlock was like a god of guns and cannons, impervious to both artillery fire and bullets.
Bullets are easy to deal with; a simple conversion array can solve the problem, which is practically the most basic thing in alchemy.
However, when facing artillery shells, the conversion array is not always effective, since artillery shells can explode.
At this moment, the second transmutation array that Sherlock had placed within the transmutation array began to take effect.
This transmutation array is a composite transmutation array created by Sherlock Holmes. Its origins lie in the combination of the "Analysis of All Things" from the Harry Potter world and the "Decomposition Transmutation" from the Fullmetal Alchemist world, forming a completely new transmutation array.
Clearly, the effect of this alchemy array is very simple: the analysis of all things is responsible for scanning, and the decomposition and alchemy are responsible for decomposing all things and returning them to nothingness.
When Sherlock first invented this transmutation circle, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for many days. After all, such an ability was almost a miracle that combined offense and defense, or at the very least, an absolute defense that surpassed everything.
However, Sherlock soon discovered something was wrong when he started trying it out. The mental effort this thing consumed was almost proportional to the activation time!
To put it simply, the longer this thing is on, the more things the brain needs to process and calculate.
If Sherlock were to keep this skill active 24/7 like Gojo Satoru or Accelerator, there would only be two possible outcomes: either Sherlock's brain would turn into a freshly baked brain, or the alchemy would fail, causing the alchemy to backfire and force him to see the truth.
If it weren't for this opportunity to ensure his future peaceful life and to create an "invincible" image, Sherlock would never have activated such a skill with such huge side effects, aside from being a show-off.
With the inner and outer transmutation arrays interlocking, Sherlock made his way through a hail of bullets and artillery fire almost without any hindrance to the very center of the valley.
Although the terrorists had long realized that their weapons were completely ineffective against Sherlock, and that even shells capable of dissecting tanks couldn't stop him, they could only desperately keep pulling the triggers on him.
After all, this was the only attack method they had mastered.
However, Sherlock seemed to feel that the terrorists' despair was not enough, and had no intention of letting them go. After braving a hail of bullets and walking through the snow-white petals to the middle of the valley, Sherlock directly thrust the tip of his spear downwards into the ground.
The next second, aided by the powerful enhancement ability of the Spear of Longinus, a massive transmutation circle that enveloped the entire valley rapidly spread out from the tip of the spear of Longinus.
The instant the transmutation array spread out, the guns in the hands of the terrorists almost instantly turned into a shower of white petals. Countless white rose petals danced in the air, like rain, which was very beautiful and romantic.
However, hidden beneath this beautiful scenery is not romance, but layers of deadly danger.
Just as the weapons in the hands of those terrorists vanished and turned into a flurry of petals, and the gunfire in the entire canyon ceased for a moment, countless stone spikes suddenly rose from the ground.
The terrorists who were attacking with their weapons didn't even realize what was happening the moment they lost their firearms. The next second, they were impaled in mid-air by the suddenly appearing stone spikes.
Blood and filth stained the fluttering white petals with dust, painting a bizarre scene in the valley that evoked fear and disgust.
If the people in the cave before weren't very shocking due to the dim environment and numerous obstructions, the open terrain of this valley, bathed in sunlight, with its falling petals, corpses, blood, and mountains of weapons, truly gave this hellish scene shape and soul.
The few who were spared, whether by luck or by Sherlock's deliberate choice, almost instantly collapsed upon witnessing this scene.
Crying and shouting words like "devil," it fled out of the valley on all fours.
Sherlock paid little attention to these survivors; after completing this painting of hell, he felt utterly exhausted.
When this scene came into view of Zhao Weike and Ethan, who had just arrived at the cave entrance, they were speechless after seeing the bizarre yet terrifying sight before them.
They could only stare blankly at the cruel yet beautiful and eerie scene before them.
"Sherlock!"
Zhao Weike stood at the cave entrance in a daze for a while before finally mustering up the courage to walk towards Sherlock.
Upon hearing Zhao Weike's voice, Sherlock turned around wearily to look in Zhao Weike's direction. The moment he spoke, Zhao Weike's familiar Sherlock persona returned instantly, as if the hellish scene he had just witnessed was not something he, Sherlock, had created.
"Old Zhao, come over here and help me up, my legs are about to give way!"
Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Zhao Weike rushed forward to support Sherlock. Only then did Sherlock have the mind to observe his surroundings. What he saw surprised not only Zhao Weike, who was supporting Sherlock, but also Ethan, who was trembling as he approached.
"yue~"
Indeed, after seeing the corpses impaled on stone spikes around him, Sherlock immediately vomited, his vomiting so horribly that Zhao Weike was speechless.
"You watched this mess and then you threw up?"
While patting Sherlock's back, Zhao Weike complained to Sherlock in a bad mood.
Hearing Zhao Weike's complaints, Sherlock retorted while still complaining.
"Yue~ Nonsense! I'm yue~ Blocked by flower petals yue~ I can't see yue at all~ Okay! Yue~"
