Chapter 1018 - Core Area (1/2)

They were completely exhausted everyday, even Dedale was pale due to extreme mana consumption.

Finally, after eight days, everyone apart from Lin Yun, Raphael, and the three mages from Sky City, had joined the fight against the Demons.

The Blood Fang Tribe’s Great Tribal Chief and Great Shaman had already joined the fray, and they had even dispatched over a thousand Beastmen to help out.

On the 9th day, Sky City’s three mages had no choice but to join in the fight on their floating fortresses. Apart from Lin Yun and Raphael, anyone able to fight was on the battlefield.

The frequent battles made everyone miserable. Every battle would be led by a Demon Overlord, and there could be up to three. Even the Blood Fang Tribe’s Great Prophet had no choice but to join in the fight.

After several days of continuous battles, Dylas looked as pale as a corpse. The loss of one member of the Shadow Tower had greatly increased the pressure.

He wanted to burst out and vent, but he couldn’t say a single word. On the 8th day, he barely said a word when a sentence was shot back at him: “If not for that fool of the Shadow Tower looking for trouble, we would have already finished cracking and altering the array.”

Trying anything would cause trouble. The battles were fierce and everyone had to pay attention. If they were slightly careless, they might end up dying.

They had been fighting several extra days in vain, and the battles had been a lot fiercer and more dangerous. The Shadow Tower was the one taking the blame for that. The Andlusans were looking at Dylas unfavorably, and while the Odin Kingdom’s forces weren’t cold towards Dylas, they weren’t warm either. The unsubtle Morgan even directly criticized Dylas after a fight and they almost went to blows.

The others kept gritting their teeth and fighting, while Raphael and Lin Yun kept researching the array. Everytime the array shook was the best opportunity to gather data and study the changes.

Raphael and Lin Yun were the only ones left taking care of this, they had to brave the dangers of the battlefield and pay attention to the array from above. Not only did they risk getting attacked by those crazy Demons, they still had to make sure that they gathered the important data or that battle would be pointless.

On the 10th day, the sound of Raphael cheering could be heard from the temporary laboratory.

“It’s finally cracked!”

Raphael had bloodshot eyes and messy hair and the pile of paper beside him had already reached the height of a man.

Lin Yun also had red eyes, and the sheets of papers he had used for calculations formed a small mountain beside his desk. The outcome of the calculations formed a fifty-centimeter-thick stack of paper on the desk.

After discarding his quill, Lin Yun massaged his stiff fingers and wrist. A trace of happiness could be seen in his eyes.

Ten days to crack and alter a Heaven Rank Array. This would have been impossible a year ago.

After obtaining the Intrepid’s map, Lin Yun had slowly researched it. Although he couldn’t make sense of most of it, it had greatly increased his insight.

The Intrepid’s design was a Heaven Rank Array in itself, and it was a very high grade array, far more exquisite than this sealing array, as well as far more difficult.

This sealing array was extremely powerful because it was huge and was using the entire mountain range as array patterns. The weight in itself was so great that it couldn’t be estimated. Using the mountain range to construct a suppressing array would make the array hundreds of times more powerful than if they used ordinary materials.

But the difficulty and quality of the array couldn’t compare to the Intrepid’s design. Moreover, after being altered and cracked, the difficulty and quality would decrease once again.

But using ten days to complete the modifications and finding a new suppression method to truly suppress that Greater Demon Overlord was an achievement Lin Yun felt happy about.

Compared to a year ago, his mastery in the field of arrays had increased a few times. He turned around to look at the True Spirit Array and felt that it was a lot simpler. He could see all the details with one glance.

Lin Yun slowly recovered from those intense calculations, and just as he relaxed, the waning runes in his eyes suddenly burst out.

Boundless runes roamed within Lin Yun’s eyes and a cryptic and ineffable aura appeared on his body. The dirty robe softly trembled as if moved by a breeze.

Lin Yun instantly understood what was happening.

The huge wheel shadow appeared behind him, and the concentric circles formed from boundless runes were frantically rotating.

In the center of the wheel, a mass of red-colored runes were forming a floating flame. There was also a rock made of brown-colored runes constantly changing shape.

Those were the Fire Law and Earth Law that Lin Yun had comprehended. Those countless runes were just the two Laws taking shape.

And now, this flame and that rock slowly moved to the sides to leave a spot in the center of the wheel.

A wisp of green wind seemed to fly in from the void and blew in the center of the wheel in an indescribable way.
