Chapter 491 - Let There Be Fire... Let There Be A Bang!
"Thus not only a single person should work on a single monster's bones," he decided as his mind started to form a set of orders for others to follow. "A group to kill and others to skin monsters, plus a group to write the bones, and then finally those who are going to strengthen the bones and turn them into pillars," he thought as he decided this would be the arrangement of doing so.
"At least twenty mages are needed," he thought, "or perhaps a little more."
"Now, you need to start making runes of these other bones," the golden dragon said before adding, "you have a wider window now, around thirty minutes, no more."
"Good," Arthur then used the sword to cut the bones remaining into smaller pieces, cleavage and cleanse those smaller ones attached to the flesh.
"The trick is to try and make all look similar in size," the golden dragon said.
"What about the skull?" Arthur asked.
"It's too complicated to turn it into a pillar," the golden dragon said before adding, "leave it for now. When you have a grasp of what you are doing, we can talk about it."
Arthur nodded and then started to write over the similar pieces of bones in front of him. Only two words were written there; pillar and transformation.
When he finished, it almost took him thirty minutes. "Sigh, more are needed to do that," he muttered before adding more to the initial estimation of his.
"Now equally distribute the smaller bones around those long ones. You need to arrange the smaller ones in a twelve heads star formation with the long bone in the center."
"And then?" Arthur asked.
"As I told you previously," the golden dragon sighed, "you'll need to drop a strong blood over them all before leaving them to fester and turn into a pillar under the effect of the surrounding energy."
"So slow," Arthur muttered before asking, "how much time would that take?"
"Roughly? From a week to a month."
"Too much," Arthur shook his head before deciding to go crazy, "I have a better idea."
"You don't intend to use your energy and that heaven and earth thing to make it, right?" the golden dragon seemed not to fully understand the spiritual energy and how it worked.
"Why not?" Arthur shrugged while starting to arrange the bones in the way the golden dragon told him but he had another arrangement to it.
"You are the only one who can use this bizarre energy."
"You are mistaken," Arthur smiled before glancing at the four group of bones in front of him before adding, "bring me three more monsters."
"Yeah, go and bring him the entire forest," the golden dragon smirked, yet the system followed the orders of Arthur silently.
The next couple of hours, Arthur kept turning the three monsters into the four groups of bones, the precursors of his pillars.
He then started to arrange these groups carefully in a wide twelve headed star, while in the center he made flags and runed with the dragon tongue in the way he planned before.
"What the hell are you doing?" the golden dragon had a crazy thought in his mind and wanted to be sure he was wrong.
"I'm using everything at the same time to make pillars and a single array," Arthur said while he kept working diligently over his runes and flags.
"Crazy," the golden dragon muttered, "pray this won't explode and kill you in the process."
His words didn't stop Arthur from making what he intended previously. He arranged the flags and runes so there would be two groups of them, one in the center and one in the twelve apices of this giant star on the ground.
When he finished half of the day was gone. "Drop the blood over them all," he muttered while putting a single drop of his upon the central flags to control the entire process.
"Let there be fire," the golden dragon was so pessimistic about the entire process, but Arthur wasn't.
The idea in his mind was fresh and untested, yet he felt very positive about it. "For me I could do even better," he muttered while watching the green blood covering the bones,flags, and runes all around. "But I need to consider my team first."
"Rumble!"
A faint rumble occurred the moment everything was covered with blood. "Wait," he suddenly got another inspiration, before hurriedly asking, "do you have a strong form of Ley Lines diagram in dragon knowledge?"
"Well…" the golden dragon was surprised by this sudden question, not knowing what it was for, "there are many," he answered without telling anything useful.
"Something that resembles the twelve star?" Arthur asked again.
"There are some who can be used in what you desire," the golden dragon paused for a moment before adding, "but what for?"
"Just tell the system about them," Arthur said before adding, "you need to use the simplest one and stain the ground with the Golam blood accordingly."
"Ding! Alright," the system then took a couple of minutes before it started to work again. For Arthur he could now start forming the array if he wanted, but he didn't.
He had sudden inspiration, where he could make the best use of the amazing diversity of talents in his army of followers. "More are needed now, sigh," he shook his head while watching the system laying the Golam blood in layers, each had the shape of the twelve star shape.
"Is this the simplest?" Arthur watched with doubt while his system was about to finish his task. The final shape looked like a spider web, while the golden dragon said in pride:
"This is one of the simplest Ley Lines diagrams in our dragon empire in the past. See how majestic it is? Feel how grand our late civilization was?"
"Yet it eventually crumbled and went to the ashes of history," Arthur teased back, and the golden dragon just harrumphed before coldly saying:
"Don't forget you're one of us."
"One who isn't planning to repeat your old folks mistakes," Arthur grinned while the last drop of blood fell on the ground.
"Rumble!"
It was followed by a loud rumble and Arthur's soul and body even shook from the massive influx of energy. "Damn! No one can tolerate such impact," he coughed some blood before adding, "more are needed to control this berserk array."
"Are you still hoping to try it out?" the golden dragon said, "it's best if you ditch the entire idea, it's too risky."
"Just shut up and watch," Arthur didn't care about the opinion of the golden dragon as he took out one healing pill and one replenishing pill and consumed them both, making his body return to its top shape.
"Let's cause a bang," he muttered with a wide smile, mimicking the way his golden dragon spoke about his array formation process. "Activate!" he simply muttered, and the next second the entire world changed.
Heaven and earth shook, and the color of the sky changed. It dimmed and Arthur felt like a mighty aura was now gathering around him and his array.
"Sigh, more is needed to make this array complete, far more than I initially thought," he sighed while observing the state of things around him.. "Heaven and earth are restless, the same feeling of the tribulations."
