Chereads / Awakening of an Engineer / Chapter 115 - Cool Spear

Chapter 115 - Cool Spear

President Kursattle looked at me like I had just wrestled a horse.

"Wha- That was- You killed a human?!" He was dumbfounded.

"Well, kinda, there's no way I could'a done it without my anti-human spear. I designed this one to kill humans because there is no way even my golems could overpower a human."

"Does that mean you have an anti-natural spear?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Nope! I rely on my golems for that. Speaking of which, I should probably keep them with me."

I spun my hand and a portal to my golem room opened.

'Come through the portal and be grand about it.'

Fent marched out of the portal in red and white robes, flanked by two lesser golems in armor.

"Why are they all unarmed?" The president asked.

"Show him."

Fent's robe shapeshifted into a spear and shield while the two lesser golems unfolded giant, metal bows from their forearms while quivers appeared from their thighs.

"Eh? They're hidden." I shrugged innocently.

He moved up to Fent and started feeling up his spear.

"Hmm, excellent craftsmanship, how did you get such precision out of the capabilities of a mere golem?"

"I don't. There are four presets that it can choose from for each of its hands."

'Shortspear and tower."

The shaft of the spear started shrinking rapidly until Fent was left with what was essentially a shortsword with a long handle. The leftover material and some more of the robe joined the other side in making a shield.

BANG!

The door to the president's office burst open and four bloodied guards rushed in.

"Mr. President! Are you ok!?" They were injured but showed resolve.

"I'm fine, get yourselves to the infirmary." He never looked away from the shortspear and shield.

"What else can it do?" he asked.

"Well, it can do..."

'Eyes'

The shield gained a pair of eyes and Fent hid his entire bulky body behind it.

"Perfect for protecting from large blasts," I said.

'Bulwark.'

Fent's weapon disappeared and his shield grew large enough to cover both of the golems on his flanks.

"He's trained to use these automatically when appropriate. Wanna see his weapon forms?"

"Yes! So far I see he can do a round shield, tower shield, eye shield, and a large shield."

"That's where you're wrong, Fent can make the eyes wherever he wants, there is a fourth offhand he can make: A sword."

"Fent, Total combat."

Fent recalled all of his robe and created an extra two arms, each with a buckler in it, his main arms gained a shortsword each.

"That's so cool! Show me his weapon forms!" Kursattle's stony mask crumbled before my eyes.

"Alright, sure."

'Morningstar.'

A mace with a long handle formed and the extra arms re-assimilated.

"You've already seen the spear and shortspear, the last one is a greatsword."

'Greatsword'

A larger-than-life sword formed in his main hand and easily outsized the tower shield.

"I would show you a practice swing, but he needs to anchor himself to swing that thing and I would hate to mess up your floor."

"That's fine, I've seen enough." He paused to let a worker take the corpses out of the room. "Show me your grunts."

"Let me inspect them first, I made some changes to them but when you initially called me for the airship order you stopped me from scanning them, I've been busy since. Inspect."

"Alright, from the top, they have integrated weapons and ammunition."

The two golems flipped their bows closed and pulled swords from their torso fast enough that Kursattle couldn't even tell where they came from.

"They also have a lot of the same things that the main golem does, like shock-absorbent le- Wait, I came here for a reason."

Kursattle, who was hyper-focused on what I was saying snapped out of his giddy state and cleared his throat.

"Ah, yes, back to business."

"Here you go." I handed over my print for the destroyers.

"Alright Meiung, there is going to be a christening next week for the first transport, but we don't know the model name for the ship so could you provide that?"

"Ah, that's easy, it's the Ark. The latest destroyer is the Cutter line."

"Another thing, this blueprint says it uses steam cannons, would it be possible for that to be just normal water cannons? I feel like these would be very useful in putting out fires."

"That's easy, just don't turn on the heating element."

"One last thing, cool spear." He said as I walked away with my spear still on his desk.

"Oops!" I recalled my spear to my hand and used Rift Garden to skip the trip home.

'Usually, I keep some charges in case I get jumped, but I'm not going anywhere else today.'

"I've got the chasers and the bombers left. This is going to be wild."
