Chapter 1015 - A New Way of Using Arrays

"You…" The middle-aged man looked at Alex while the woman checked on the young man.

The doubt in their eyes was so strong to the point a kid could even point that out. However, the prince he saved earlier immediately shouted. "Stop! He saved me from the wolves that chased me. At the same time, help us in the earlier battle!"

The middle-aged man's body shook and immediately stood still, not daring to do anything to Alex.

He then faced Alex and bowed his head like a gentleman. "Thank you for saving my life."

"It's nothing. I was going to check what happened, but since you are here, it will be best if you can answer that question." Alex nodded with a serious expression.

The two wanted to rebuke him again by not showing any respect to the prince, but the prince raised his hand, stopping them. He thought for a moment and began explaining. "The situation is mysterious. At first, we noticed a large blue air swirling not far from our kingdom.

"Two days after that, it began summoning monsters from inside…Those wolves were the first ones to emerge from our place, and according to my father, the king, the weakest one is around Seven Circle Warrior or Mage.

"We can't really do anything if they are coming in a large number. To that end, there is an order of evacuation, and I am one of the first batches. I can't tell you the details because it's classified, but I am afraid this kingdom is already in its path to ruin." The prince gritted his teeth and shook his head in disappointment.

In his eyes, he wanted to help the kingdom, but he knew he had no power to do so. He could only escape and build his strength, so he could take revenge in the future.

Hearing it, Alex thought for a moment. 'It seems the world has begun. Soon, more and more gates will open. I need to speed up the process, I guess.'

[You are going to visit the World's Will tomorrow?]

'Yes.' Alex then turned to the kingdom direction and said, "I will be going there."

Although he was curious about their way of using an array, he decided to watch the battle himself since there would be more people using this kind of power.

"Wait?! How about going with us? I can let a strong man like you enter the hidden base. To fight them, I need a strong one like you." The prince tried to stop him, but Alex only shook his head.

He turned around and saw the middle-aged man in his way. Because the prince wanted him, he thought about stopping Alex, but without anyone noticing, Alex already got past him, walking slowly as if he just went through him.

The middle-aged man turned around to grab him, but Alex already ran until they couldn't see him anymore. At that time, he began flying to the city wall.

As one would expect, the battlefield was chaotic. To help the evacuation process, the soldiers fought outside the city, but it surely wouldn't last long.

Only those who had enough strength could fight against these wolves. The blazing fire began to spread, illuminating the darkness in this territory, but it made the dying soldiers even more visible.

Alex didn't participate in that battle. Although he could settle it by himself, it would garner too much attention.

He  simply sat down on the city wall and watched those people using their unique power to fight these people.

"I wonder what they are doing… That's indeed an array, but it looks different than a normal array. Besides, don't you think their speed to create an array is better than mine?" Alex muttered in doubt.

[I believe so. The main clue will be the giant pattern which is obviously the body of the array. The problem is we don't know what is inside the big pattern. If we know, solving the other problems wouldn't be that hard, I think.]

"Yes. But I can't really ask them about it, can't I?" Alex thought for a moment.

Lin Xingzhi seemed to find the answer first before him and replied.

[I have a solution. Why don't you go to a library? I think you will get enough knowledge to comprehend this power in the library. I don't know if the dark territory has a library, but even if they don't have one, we can visit the ruined Rawak Kingdom.]

"Fair enough. It's not like the Rawak Kingdom will fight against those beasts inside their city…At the same time, I am not very sure because I absolutely know that it's going to be in ruins. There is a chance that it will create a fire and spread."

[Have you forgotten the fact that the light side doesn't need a torch or something because everything is natural lighting?]

"!!!" Alex widened his eyes and shook his head helplessly. "Great. I will check this one first."

Without wasting his time, he ignored the soldiers that kept fighting with their lives and headed straight to the library.

Because he didn't know where it was, he tried to see any special buildings that were built differently than that of a house or a store.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find a single building that had books. There was one last place he had yet to check, and he quickly went there.

It was none other than the castle. Due to the current situation, there weren't any soldiers that protected the castle because they were busy fighting. Alex sneaked around the castle with his Spirit Eyes to avoid any people that were still inside.

At the same time, he opened all rooms inside the castle, including the king chamber.

Surprisingly, there was a passage inside the room, leading to another place. Considering it wasn't opened, he thought it led to his personal stuff, so there was no hesitation in tearing the wall down with his finger.

It created a loud noise, but since there wasn't anyone here, he didn't need to worry about someone coming inside.

When he entered, there wasn't anything inside other than this path. But after one minute of walking, he finally reached the end of the corridor. To his surprise, there was another room inside, filled with books and treasures.

The left one had so many bookshelves, filled with books to the brim, while the other side had golds and such.

"This place must be his study room and his treasury. I don't know, but I think the king is greedy since he will always watch his treasure while studying something? In any case, I am glad to find books here." Alex shook his head and continued his investigation.

He went to the table that was usually used to read and checked three books resting there.

How to use the brightness of the lamp and the darkness to arouse a woman.

One-hundred ultimate position in the dark.

S.e.xually frustrated? This is the way.

"…" Alex facepalmed and wondered whether this king was in his right mind. Not only could he see his treasures on the other side, but he also read something like this. "I take back what I said. This king is not only greedy but l.u.s.tful. Don't tell me he is a fat guy who is lazy and loves to eat. What else does this king have with the seven deadly sins?"

Alex didn't care about it and immediately searched for the books on the shelves. Luckily, the books here were decent and informative.

He browsed all the titles, trying to find the book that might be related to their unique power.

After searching for another three minutes, he came up with a book called.

Nine Circle Magician

"This…" Alex narrowed his eyes and picked it up. He opened the book and began reading it.

"This book tells you anything about the nine circle magician, including how to form the ninth magic circle."

Alex continued reading it but didn't find anything useful. It was too advanced for him to know the concept of this unique power.

However, Alex found that it wasn't the only book. If there was a Nine Circle Magician, there should be an Eight Circle Magician and so on until the very bottom. He searched for it and found it.

He went straight to the "First Circle Magician" to settle his curiosity. If this was a success, he might as well go home since this information alone was worth it.

Want to become a powerful mage? This is the way. We call this power Holy Emblem. Normally, to summon a magic circle, you need to form everything out of thin air and release its power.

But everything changed after the Great Mage Solias found another way to make magic easier. He connected all magic circles into one and found many similarities.

For example, this magic circle is Fireball, while the other one is a Stone Wall. Both are different elements and types, but if you take a closer look at it, they both have the same similarity.

After a series of research, these patterns are needed to extract our magic power and channel it to the magic circle. They both have the same patterns.

At the same time, this is a magic circle for Freezing Ice. He found that this similarity can be taken advantage of by using the same concept of Magic Tool, which is to inscribe a magic circle to a tool.

The research took a long time, but it was a success. By inscribing our body with certain patterns, we will be able to create a portion of a magic circle in an instant by relying on it. We can then create the last portion ourselves.

The amazing part is the fact that we can create a magic circle ten times faster than the normal one after we have gotten the hang of it. At the same time, you can make a certain pattern that you like while inscribing the necessary symbols in a specific way.

We call this a Holy Emblem.

Alex furrowed his eyebrows as he was amazed by this research. This thing would surely revolutionize the Array if it were known by those Array Masters.

[I agree with you. This is something amazing.]

"Yes. The research indeed told us the truth. Just like how we used metals or even monsters' parts as an ingredient to make a weapon, we can use our own body for that. This will allow us to inscribe a portion of an array on our body and use it easily.

"At the same time, I also agree with the fact that there are many similar symbols from one array to another. It's like gathering symbols and such. I mean, some symbols for Gathering Array are useful to draw our power to activate the array.

"And there is an element and such. Hence, this research is valid. The problem will be whether this can be applied to a Rank 9 Array Master like me." Alex thought for a moment. "And I think this will increase my power even further because I can use an array faster than anyone. I don't need my Space Plate anymore to hide it.

"I also don't think the "emblem" will look bad in my body. I mean, if I make a tattoo with Eulja's flag, won't it look nice?" Alex smiled.

[Sure enough. From our observation, we should be able to inscribe it on the shoulder or something where it's not very visible.]

"That's right. It has so many possibilities about this power, so I think I will start experiencing things." Alex nodded with a serious expression.

[Do you mind if I bring this matter to Eulja? I can set up a group of Array Masters to research it.]

"It's fine. It's not like I am the man who found this revolutionary idea. Just cite it to give this man credit. He deserves it" Alex nodded.

[In that case, I will make a special group to research this idea.]

"Yes, thank you. I can focus on my task this way. Just keep me informed from time to time."

[Sure thing.]

Alex then continued reading the book until the end, learning a lot more.

He had gained much more than he could expect from this place. Not only he understood that this place could be used to plant his Gacha System, but he also found this brilliant idea that would be useful in the near future.

Satisfied, he then took all the books here except p*rn books for research purposes.

[By the way, bring me all those books too. I am collecting it. And don't be ashamed because you were satisfied with it when I used all the tricks in the books, you know.]
