Chapter 369 - The Siege (Part-2)

"Brother Ryuu what kind of array is this, this is too complicated I cannot make head or tails about the array.", one of the array master present spoke with a frown."

Ryuu looked at him directly into his eyes as he spoke, "I only want you all to make the array according to the diagram nothing more nothing less, I do not believe you need to understand it for you to copy it now do you?"

As the man shook his head Ryuu spoke with a smile, "Good now every Array Master please start creating 367 arrays as fast as possible, I will drop by and supervise as much as possible, now time is running out and please make it as accurate as possible otherwise everything will be lost, you are all dismissed."

As the array masters left he went towards the group of poison makers, "Hello everyone, as you all are already aware of defensive measures being installed, as such I would like to concoct some lethal concoction make sure whatever you create does not neutralize the work of others now please begin."

With his piece being said he left the room as did others, Ryuu quickly flew high up in the sky as he looked down towards the ground.

Zywia soon joined by his side as did the rest of his group as she spoke, "This looks identical to the one that created the volcano."

Ryuu did not glance towards her as she spoke, "From the array that they are making it looks like similar to your 'Volcano Eruption array'."

Ryuu's eyes twitched a bit as he spoke, "It is my God Killing Array and stop saying 'Volcano Eruption array' it sounds stupid."

Zywia huffed at that as she spoke, "So you are planning to dye the entire desert red with blood."

Ryuu's eyes narrowed as he spoke, "It will definitely be the unfortunate outcome but as long as we remain alive it does not matter."

As they looked down Ryuu suddenly let out a growl as he spoke, "That colossal idiot.", with that he dashed towards a certain array that was being created.

He dropped to the ground as he spoke with a snarl, "What are you doing?"

The person in question looked taken aback as he spoke, "I was creating a part of the array."

Ryuu huffed at that as he spoke, "No you are doing it wrong, now lend me your brush."

With that he took the person's brush as he made some changes as he spoke with a , "Now it seems alright, normally I would have not paid much attention to detail but for array weaving I need it to be as accurate as possible, after all a single mistake will kill us all."

Ryuu's brow twitched even after using so many array masters it took a good few hours to complete all 367 arrays and it made him growl in anger, 'The amount of time this idiots took is horrendous, I myself would have finished making them alone much much faster, they are so slow my teacher would weep upon seeing their skill level and they are so many years older than me.'

Su-Min looked at Ryuu's face which had a permanent scowl etched onto it as she spoke, "Is there a problem?"

Ryuu snarled as he spoke, "Problem, these idiots are the problem they are taking so much time, simply disgraceful."

Zywia rolled her eyes as she spoke, "Ryuu the things both of us seen and have heard are something that they could not even begin to comprehend, we have had the honor of being in presence of cultivators according to them who are simply myths, people who have reached the very height of their profession they are on another level compare to these people you are not being fair Ryuu."

Ryuu was about to speak only to be stopped by Zywia who raised her to prevent him from speaking as he continued, "Ryuu you are leagues apart from them you who have created a masterpiece of an array, an array which this people were unable to understand at all, I myself may not be able to understand much about an array as it is not my forte but you are comparing them with true masters of the craft, even comparing themselves to you is unfair so Ryuu am I wrong?"

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke in a monotone, "No you are not wrong, sorry but I have an array to weave.", with that he left.

Frost Flames who had just arrive at the beginning of their argument spoke with a frown on her face, "Excuse me sister Zywia I do not understand why is brother Ryuu sounded so disappointed at them."

Zywia bit her lips as she replied while trying to preserve as much of Ryuu's secret as possible, "Ryuu comes from a very old and well off family with many legendary cultivators from them, and from what I know he never had any friends of similar or of near age while growing up as such he had spend learning from this various family members and now when he is standing along with his peers he finds himself ahead of them in many things by quite a lot as such he is a bit frustrated."

Frost Flames nodded at that as she spoke, "I see where you are going he wants someone to share his passion and compare himself with.", at this words Zywia simply nodded as she thought, 'I doubt you would ever find your child after all you are an anomaly, an aberration in our world after all you have surpassed me, someone who is older than your own mother, may be even older than many of your ancestors while you have not even celebrated your 100th birthday you have already surpassed every cultivators that came in before and will come after you, truly a lonely existence.'

A shake broke her out of her thoughts as Daniella spoke, "I think he is beginning."

At Ryuu's command everyone moved away from the arrays towards the caves, as he stood directly on top of the center of the cave as Dhaeq arrived near him as he spoke, "Do you think it would work?"

Ryuu tilted his head as he spoke, "If it does not work then brother we will not have to worry about anything because none of us will survive."

Dhaeq laughed out loud before he spoke as he patted Ryuu's back, "Brother Ryuu I will leave you to concentrate on your work."

Ryuu nodded as a group of cultivators approached him as one them spoke, "Brother Ryuu does this poison suit your need."

Ryuu took the vial from the person's hand as he send a strand of KI into it before he spoke with a smile, "Wonderful you all have made me a very nice poison now please move along and let me concentrate."

As they left Ryuu looked at the vial as he mused, 'It seems that yhese people have outdone themselves especially with the help of the indigenous people they simply collected some type of poison and with hit as its base they had added a few concoction of their own and have managed to lower the lethality of the poison and now they are proudly presenting it to me, they are lucky I am not my teacher even though I have to inquire about the main poison that was given to which they added their substandard object although I cannot blame them whatever it was, the stuff was too potent even it would give me trouble as such they thought of their safety I cannot wait to get my hand on the main ingredient it would be greatly helpful.'

With that he opened the vial as the poison stored in it floated out, the talismans in his hands glowed as he let them, and they circled around him and began rotating while they started to glow their speed of rotation increased as Ryuu stood at the center then suddenly with a roar of thunder the glowing talisman hit the center of each array as fire seemed to race from a ring with the outer circle clockwise and the inner in the anti clockwise direction before they let out light that made everyone shield their eyes as they opened it seemed as someone had drawn a ring with intricate patterns on it, drawn with sand as the canvas.

Ryuu looked pleased at the outcome as he spoke with a smirk, "Well now we simply wait for the horde."
