Chapter 490 - How To Make The Ancient Arrays?
Dark arrays rarely use flags, while normal arrays depend entirely on them.
"I should have noticed this a long time ago," he shook his head in regret, feeling blamed for this silly mistake of observing this obvious difference.
"You need flags to control arrays, that\'s a well known knowledge about normal arrays for sure," the golden dragon said in such an excited way. "Just use my own advice and cover the flags to the brim with the words you\'ll use in your runes."
Arthur thought for a second there before nodding. "I also want to use the trick we used before," he added.
"Which is?" the golden dragon asked.
"Ding! Using heaven and earth energy to form the array, like what we did back at the petals."
"That ancient array is unique," the golden dragon argued, "you can\'t easily imitate it. many tried and failed."
"They don\'t have my own vision about heaven and earth energy," Arthur argued back while adding, "I\'m pretty sure I can do it."
"Then give it a try and waste your time doing the impossible."
Arthur wasn\'t fazed with the mockery inside the golden dragon\'s words. He had his eyes fixed upon his goal, and he knew he could do this.
What he needed to consider now was to inject the energy inside the array while making, or only in the flags controlling it.
Arthur waited patiently for a couple of hours thinking deeply about this. After all this time, another dilemma appeared which, in time, solved the other dilemma he had.
"So I shouldn\'t take this approach and think more revolutionally," he muttered to himself before adding, "That array when activated controlled the heaven and earth energy inside a certain space, I should mimic that."
His previous dilemma was about whn he should infuse his energy inside the array making, yet when he revised his experience with the ancient array he found something different.
That array was made by simple runes, yet it used pillars to control the heaven and earth energy inside. "Instead of pillars, I should use flags," he decided before thinking about another dilemma.
"What makes the pillars special?" This was what he started to think about.
The pillars were one of his old assets, yet up till now he didn\'t know much about them. And that simple realization startled him at this moment.
"Can you tell me how the pillars are made?" he suddenly asked his golden dragon who simply answered:
"What? Are you planning to make pillars out of normal monster\'s bones?"
The instant and casual reply of the golden dragon was really helpful more than the obvious mockery in it. Arthur\'s eyes shone brightly as his mind totally flipped as he hurried to ask: "Can I?"
"In theory…" the golden dragon was taken aback with the answer of Arthur before he added, "you can do it, but the energy stored inside can\'t even be compared to a one hundredth of that\'s inside the pillars you have."
"But it\'s much better than nothing for others," Arthur shouted in excitation, making both the golden dragon and his system puzzled. "Can you tell me the way?"
"It\'s simple…" the golden dragon paused before adding, "what do you intend to do?"
"You\'ll see soon," Arthur laughed as he added, "tell me what I should do and then you\'ll find out."
"Alright…" the golden started to explain, and the more he talked, the more Arthur was surprised.
"Is it this… simple?" he asked after the golden dragon finished speaking.
"Sure, the trick isn\'t in the technique, but in the quality of the monster you are using the bones from," the golden dragon said before stressing again, "just remember you\'ll need the long bones to be turned into a pillar. A humerus, a femur, and a tibia are all considered best, and other bones can be used to make the pillars stronger."
Arthur nodded before he thought. "Bring me a monster," he said to his system.
"Ding! A horn with a halo?" the system asked.
"No, just a normal horn monster."
The next moment a normal monster of those he killed before to make others absorb their organs appeared in front of him. Arthur didn\'t hesitate to kill it with his sword, then he started to skin it and take the bones out of its fresh corpse.
"Don\'t waste more time, you need to start working on the long bones fast," the golden dragon stressed, "you only have ten minutes after each monster\'s death."
"Don\'t worry," Arthur gritted his teeth as the task of taking the bones out of the corpse proved to be much more difficult than what he initially thought.
Yet in less than three minutes he had the long bones lying on the ground.
"System, bring me the unpurified Golam blood," he said before taking out his tools, "I trust you on making this fast."
"Ding! Don\'t worry," the system said before adding, "Ding! You don\'t need the purified blood?"
"No, bring me that spiritual energy rich blood."
The next moment a large container appeared from the side of his followers, taken by the system. The next moment the container was filled with green blood with a horrible smell.
"Now," Arthur then immersed his brush inside the container before taking one bone and started writing. He didn\'t know what he was writing, as it was all in dragon tongue.
But he knew the meaning; strengthen, condense, absorb, light, purify, and pillar. These were the main words he had gotten from the golden dragon, specified that this is meant for the light based monsters.
As for the black monsters, a couple of words would be slightly changed. Arthur\'s writing speed was superb, and with the guidance of his system he didn\'t commit any mistake.
Yet he knew for his followers to learn this skill they would have to learn these dragon tongue words first. A task that would have many mistakes for sure.
"Nevertheless those who will learn this would make it much easier to gain more stronger arrays," he nodded and when he finished with the long bones in hand, he had less than two minutes remaining.
