Writing a good Chapter 30

I may need more time to complete Chapter 30. I am sorry for the lack of a story chapter this week.

I probably should explain myself.

Chapter 30 is more... unique. It features Roberia using a weapon that Katachi can't easily defend against. It features a weapon specifically made to counter Scholars like Katachi. It features Katachi's difficulty with fighting against an actual weakness, and the limitations of the Words of Power, as godsend as they may sound.

Chapter 30 is where Roberia uses what is considered my favorite weapon series in the entire story - The Indictors.

Now, an Indictor... It is essentially a weapon made to counter a Scholar of ______ said Word of Power. Normally, Words of Power have their own strengths, but their weakness is also very obvious - Anything that isn't within 'strengths' are their weaknesses.

Take, for example, Rekter's, or should I say, Katachi's 解. Rekter has once used 解 to demonstrate how he can dissolve an object, which would include any steel sword and physical weapon. Essentially, if he can pull it off in time, he is practically invulnerable.

However, there are two weaknesses to that. First of all, if he can't pull off the 'Dissolve' in time, the weapon will still hurt him. And 'Dissolve' is a rather slow process. It may take up to 10 seconds for a steel sword to be dissolved completely. If the enemy can wound, maim and even kill Rekter within those 10 seconds, then it would be the enemy's victory. People who specialize in the weaknesses of the Words of Power would include Scholars themselves, Words of Power Hunters, and some specially-trained individuals, like assassins.

The second weakness, is that 'Dissolve' cannot dissolve a liquid base. If one were using a weapon that used both oil and fire, there is no physical body to dissolve, so against a weapon (e.g. Molotov Cocktail) or an enemy (say, a slime) without a permanently solid body, 解 has no effect at all. Weapons designed to work around such weaknesses are Indictors.

Indictors can come in many shapes and forms, but the important thing about an Indictor is that it is designed to render the effects of a Word of Power useless against it.

Oh, by the way, Scholars are people whom wield Words of Power. They are claimed Scholars because using a Word of Power requires one to have extensive knowledge of it, which is reminiscent of a scholar being knowledgeable. So, Rekter uses a Word of Power, or used to, so he at one point can be claimed as a Scholar. Katachi is a Scholar too - Anyone that can use a Word of Power is a Scholar, even if he only knows one meaning the Word can assume.

Katachi's in for a real nasty surprise in Chapter 30 - Please look forward to it!
