Chapter 637 Group Effort
The first thing that the Monarchs had in their sights was the [Kind Intentions] barrier. There was no hiding from their eyes that the core was still secretly hidden in Minister William's office among the old decorations and piles of ornamental armour, but the barrier itself was what intrigued them.
"Magi, can you cast that spell as you wish, or are there preconditions?" The King of Sodom asked.
"Only a few minimal preconditions, but they are more about the location and the occupants than anything else. I don't require any rare materials to activate the array, only something long-lasting to inscribe it on." Wolfe explained.
"It's that easy?" Queen Victoria asked, while leisurely stretching her wings to poke the King beside her in the back of the ear.
"It is, but the strength depends on the caster, so I'm certain that none of you, or even most of the ministers here, would have an issue getting around it if you put your mind to it." Wolfe agreed.
One of the larger Kings chuckled. "It has a few flaws, I've noticed. Such as the fact that it doesn't prevent accidents. I may have bowled over a servant in my excitement to get to the throne, and my staff needed to give her a healing potion."
Wolfe shrugged. "It's all about intentions. You weren't trying to hurt anyone, so it didn't stop you. Much like a puppy running wild through the halls would still be allowed to cause chaos, but a young child who knows better wouldn't."
The King cocked his head to the side, trying to decide if Wolfe had just compared a ten-thousand-year-old Rank Nine Demon King to an excited puppy. He probably had, but the King decided to just let it slide as a quirk of the Magi. They had been pacifists for so long that they often forgot that they were in danger.
"How much inconvenience would it be to fix the one that you already cast here?" King Memo asked, with a wink for his sister and grandnephew.
"Not at all. Since I was the caster, it's not a big deal for me to reactivate and overlay a new copy of an identical inscription." Wolfe replied.
"Would you like one for your home?" Queen Elizabeth asked Wolfe politely.
"If it's not too much trouble, I'm sure that they would be overjoyed to have it." The Queen smiled, but her brother was faster, pulling a dagger that would serve someone human sized as a two-handed sword, from the pile and pouring power into it.
"We can use this one as the demonstration piece, in case we want things changed. What were you going to put on it as defensive spells?" He asked.
"The one you've been admiring is just a barrier over the throne room with a booby trap. The secondary spell on it is [Necrosis]."
The Royals all stared at him in shock.
"You mean, the whole purpose of that sceptre is to get people to break the barrier and try to steal it, then turn themselves into the undead?" One of the Kings asked.
"Exactly. And because they're activating it on themselves, the [Kind Intentions] barrier wouldn't even stop them. For some reason, it doesn't see becoming undead as a form of self harm." Wolfe laughed.
"Oh, that is priceless. But we should change plans before someone does something stupid. Is there another spell that could be put in place of it? Something defensive?" Queen Victoria asked.
"I could put [Mana Purification] or a secondary form of barrier. But I suspect that it would be easier if we just put a regular [Nether Lightning Barrier] array and the [Kind Intentions] spells on it."
The King of Nephrite smiled at Wolfe. "Anyone who calls Nether Lightning a regular array has my vote."n(-0velb1n
