Chapter 1219 - Tes (1/2)
As they spread out, the number of law runes kept on decreasing and all the runes disappeared, merging with the array.
This was how a real array cracking was done, forcibly depriving the array of its control before using the location of the seven core nodes to simultaneously crack it.
This had a very high requirement on the number and quality of law runes. But thankfully, Lin Yun’s law runes and this array’s law runes were constructed in the same way, saving up a lot of energy.
As the wheel shadow behind Lin Yun kept spraying runes, the array started changing. Some of the areas were deprived of their control around Lin Yun, and it spread like a plague.
And at the same time, the metal tiles in Laibo and his six junior apprentices’ hands slowly started shining as Lin Yun’s array cracking was in progress. From the center of the metal tile, those dark runes and patterns shone one after another and rays of light slowly spread outward.
Following Lin Yun’s actions, even the law runes floating around the core nodes started slowly merging with the surroundings and weakened the effects of the core nodes, weakening the energy transmission of the core nodes in the process.
All arrays needed energy to keep operating. Cutting off the supply of energy was the most simple cracking method.
After half an hour, an energy storm slowly rose inside the calm array and fierce and tyrannical energy wreaked havoc within the array. The places not under Lin Yun’s control were filled with brutal destruction power.
The dozen-meter-wide areas around the seven core nodes were calm, even the air seemed unable to flow. But outside those areas, the fierce energies were wreaking havoc. A large amount of energy was poured out, but the core nodes’ runes were weakened and the energy could only leak into the array to form this kind of destructive power.
The torrent of data flowing in Lin Yun’s eyes was already indistinguishable. It looked like his eyes were filled with light and the Magic Array was operating at maximum performance. The Spell Wheel was also frantically revolving and Lin Yun’s mana consumption was a lot higher than during a fight.
Half an hour later, the energy storm within the array was on the brink of exploding.
Sensing the berserk power outside the core nodes, cold sweat trickled down Laibo’s forehead. If he hadn’t experienced Lin Yun’s alchemy skill first-hand, he would have been unable to remain calm.
On another side, Mariana was also a bit scared and kept encouraging herself.
“It’s alright, these things can’t hurt the powerful Mariana, there is no need to worry, there is no need to worry. I can break this array…”
As for Constantine, he was pale from fear. His hands were shaking and his eyes were firmly stuck onto the metal tile he was tightly grasping, afraid of missing the timing when the metal tile was fully illuminated.
‘Sh*t, that damned Mafa Merlin! How is that very simple? How can this be called cracking an array?
‘That fierce power is like an elemental storm. I’ll die as long as there is one mistake… Sh*t, is that that Mafa Merlin’s plot?
‘No, if he wanted to kill me, he wouldn’t have bothered to save us before. I can’t fail or I’ll die…’
Cold sweat was drenching Constantine’s back, his legs also slightly went soft, but he was tightly grasping onto the metal tile as he feared that it would escape his hands from the shaking.
As everyone from the Secret Monastery was worrying about the array potentially exploding, the law runes in front of them finished merging with the core nodes. At that moment, the runes at the core nodes formed a notch.
The metal tile fit the notch and they only needed a single glance to know that they had to put the tile into it.
And at the same time, the last darkened runes of and patterns of the metal tiles shone.
The seven of them didn’t dare to be careless and immediately inserted the metal tiles into the notches.
The seven metal tiles resonated and the slight differences in timing became negligible under the effect of that resonance.
The light of the seven metal tiles spread out simultaneously and coordinated with the law runes Lin Yun had set up, as well as with Lin Yun in the center of the array, to sever the energy transmission of the seven core nodes.
Having lost the energy transmission of the seven core nodes, the huge amount of energy gathered in the array became the source of energy the array needed to consume to keep operating.
The chaotic and fierce energy storm slowly weakened before dissipating in less than ten minutes. Not a single wisp of energy was left inside the array.
Once all the energy dissipated, the flood of law runes Lin Yun released invaded the array with irresistible momentum.
After invading the array’s key spots, Lin Yun spat out a few more law runes. In an instant, the entire array was thoroughly paralyzed and could be called an empty shell that was no longer threatening.
But at that moment, a wisp of incomparable power burst out from underneath the array and the seven members of the Secret Monastery were instantly kicked out of the range of the array. Only Lin Yun who had been standing in the center remained.
The dense fog within the array dissipated and all the paralyzed spots truly lost their functions. But under the burst of power coming from underground, the empty shell formed a scarlet barrier enveloping everything within ten kilometers.
There was only a ten-story mage tower in the center of those ten kilometers, and atop that mage tower was an extremely complicated law rune. Wisps of power were linking this law rune to the entire barrier.
And outside that mage tower, the scarlet eyes of inactive puppets suddenly shone with light.
Of over a hundred level 39 puppets, seventy were melee puppets and thirty were casting puppets.
There was as many as eight Heaven Puppets! Three five-meter-tall huge puppets, three two-meter-tall four-arms puppets, as well as two casting puppets!
When they saw these puppets, the six members of the Secret Monastery all paled.
