Chapter 347 Wolverine's New Enhancement

Although Wolverine agreed to cooperate with Constantine, Rune couldn't just let Logan fight against demons and angels with his bare hands. These things usually enter Earth by possessing others, which would indeed greatly weaken their fighting power, but that didn't mean these demons and angels were easy to bully.

In fact, without a specific weapon or spell to counter them, demons and angels are very difficult to exorcise. Note that this is only exorcism; only powerful mages like Rune and Doctor of Fate can directly kill the possessing demon.

"Put your claws out," Rune patted Logan on the shoulder.

Although Wolverine was somewhat doubtful, he still extended his signature adamantium claws out of trust.

Constantine's blue eyes widened, and the cigarette he had just lit fell from his mouth. In his eyes, the claws that gleamed with a cold light seemed to grow directly from the short man's body. Constantine could even see the marks where Logan's skin had been stretched open.

"Wait, what's wrong with this guy?"

"Human experimentation? Never seen it before, you idiot?" Wolverine sneered. Constantine licked his lips. What kind of human experimentation would involve implanting a pair of steel rods into a human body?

Why not a gun?

As if he had foreseen the future, Rune observed Wolverine's steel claws, pondering what kind of magic to imbue them with, while reminding Constantine: "Due to human experimentation, Logan's entire skeleton has been replaced with an extremely hard composite material. He was able to come back to life entirely because this man possesses conceptual-level regenerative abilities."

Regeneration ability?

Constantine was all too familiar with this ability; vampires, werewolves—which of these dark creatures didn't have regenerative abilities?

"Don't misunderstand," Rune said, as if he knew exactly what Constantine was thinking. "The regenerative abilities of the creatures you've seen before are as weak as children compared to Wolverine. Wolverine is immune to most poisons and diseases, and even a nuclear explosion couldn't kill him. With the example of the nuclear explosion, Constantine completely understood just how powerful Logan's healing factor truly was."

"This sounds absurd." Constantine rolled his eyes, but he was secretly overjoyed. With such a powerful human shield around, he didn't know how safe he could be.

"But don't expect him to protect your safety."

Constantine's eyes widened. "You fucking read my mind?"

Rune glanced back at Constantine. "No, I know you too well. Logan is a berserker; his mission on the battlefield is to charge. The alloy within him is more precious than mithril, and it's perfectly capable of piercing the chest of a cosmic god. You know what that means, right?"

Constantine's smile grew even brighter, meaning he finally had the means to harm his old friend without needing angels. He looked forward to his next encounter with the Fallen Ones with increasing anticipation.

Although Rune kept praising Wolverine, Logan was still a little annoyed. Not understanding what Rune was doing, he didn't really want to be a fool for that other lazy sorcerer. Just as he was about to put away his claws, Rune began to cast a spell.

He pulled out a large number of items from somewhere, many of which Wolverine had never seen before, but judging from Constantine's expression, Logan probably knew these things weren't cheap.

"Wait, what are you going to do to my child?"

In response to Logan's questioning, Rune replied directly: "Of course, it's about engraving some runes on your claws. If you're going to work with Constantine, you must have the means to harm demons or angels."

"It sounds like all trouble—"

Constantine couldn't take it anymore. He pointed at Wolverine, his face full of disappointment. "Hey, do you even know how valuable Rune Inscription services are? This is from a powerful mage who defeated Doctor Fate and thwarted the Fallen Ones. Even a speck of dust from someone of his caliber would be enough for you to enjoy for a lifetime!"

As he spoke, he pointed to a certain material that Rune had taken out: "This thing is worth three hundred grams of gold in the human world, and that's still more expensive than available. Not to mention that Rune is now recognized as a master potion maker and puppet maker in the magical world, and you, you actually say this is troublesome?"

Constantine's face was practically overflowing with envy, jealousy, and hatred, while Wolverine frowned.

As a large amount of dark magic surged from Rune's body, Logan's beast senses made him restless. The last time he felt this strange sensation was on the battlefield when he was forced into an area riddled with landmines.

Constantine, on the other hand, appeared much calmer. Although there were occasional rustling sounds around him, the monk had put on a cross, so everything around him was peaceful and serene.

The item Rune took out turned into a solution, and runes began to appear on Logan's claws. When Logan was injected with Adamantium, his powerful self-healing ability reacted strangely with the Adamantium, forming a substance called Beta Adamantium. Its hardness was similar to other Adamantium, but it could grow on its own.

As the magic surged in, Logan felt his blood and bones boiling. He experienced unbearable pain, but he was already used to this level of pain, so he just gritted his teeth and watched the magical changes that occurred in his steel claws.

Under Rune's will, numerous tiny runes appeared on the steel claws. The powerful mage did his best to reduce the depth while adding runes such as hardness. Therefore, these runes did not damage the sturdiness of Logan's steel claws, but rather increased it considerably.

However, Adamantium's magical conductivity is far less powerful than that of Amazonite or Batite, so the runes that runes can grant are relatively basic, but the damage against demons and angels is greatly enhanced.

After seeing Rune retrieve the other materials, Wolverine raised an eyebrow. "Done?"

"It's done, but don't think you're invincible." Rune added, "The alloys on your body have a relatively low conductivity for magic, so I can only apply some low-level runes to you."

"That's even better." Wolverine laughed. War was in his blood. If Rune really turned him into an invincible warrior, he would soon feel that he had lost the joy of fighting and would do everything he could to wash away the enhancements on his body.

Constantine muttered things like "waste is shameful," but he was completely unaware that many of the runes that enhanced Wolverine were actually designed to guard against Constantine.
