Chapter 555 - The Godfather Is Near
"They have to endure until I reach them," he simply muttered before turning his gaze towards the bones and the monsters around. "Four aren't enough," he sighed, "bring ten times, no a hundred times this number. Let's make it big."
During this small conflict the leader of the lycan team continued to work without much interest in what that would result at. Arthur didn't care about that, as in the end the round wouldn't be finished until he ended his array.
The next moment a huge number of monsters appeared. 'Let me remind you that the long bones need your care within the first five minutes of the monsters' death,' the golden dragon warned.
'I know,' Arthur nodded, 'that's why I won't kill all at the same time. I will take my time gradually with no haste.'
'This…' the golden dragon paused before laughing, 'you will take at least two days to finish this one.'
'Add two more for me to rest,' Arthur stretched his body before adding, 'I'm not in a hurry. Each day gained is important for my godfather to come.'
'He shouldn't take this long,' the golden dragon muttered, 'something must have stalled him.'
'Sure,' Arthur moved his gaze towards the lycan tower, 'this is expected after all.'
He then turned his attention over the monsters here. His initial layout of the array was to have one long bone surrounded by a group of smaller ones.
However as he was dealing with the giant bones of the higher grade monster he had to improvise and add more layers of the layout he initially used.
So he decided to make the initial twelve bones as one unit, then he would make twelve units of these around each giant bone. "I hope this would work," he muttered when he finally finished preparing all the units around the giant bones.
"Now it's time for writing over these bones," he sighed while the golden dragon muttered: 'It's best for you to use your blood and energy to do that.'
'This…' Arthur glanced again at the twelve bones before sighing, 'might kill me.'
'This is the only way to protect you from the backlash of these bones.'
Arthur thought about it and found the golden dragon might have a point here. 'If so… then I'll need to waste a couple more days to finish this.'
Despite him seeming to be regretting doing this, he was smiling. He aimed to buy more time for his godfather to arrive before reaching the final stage which was just close by.
All the other teams finished their matches and the final four were determined already. Only him and a couple more teams remained, as they were the ones designated to face him.
"You surely are taking your time Willy kid," the lead master sighed after the passage of two more days. Arthur used his blood to write the dragon's ancient language over the bones while taking long periods of rest to eat meat and pills and replenish his lost blood and energy.
"I have to rest," Arthur wasn't faking weakness at the moment, "after all I've lost much blood and energy."
"No one is using the weird way of yours to make the arrays," the lead master muttered, "be sure to speed things up."
"Why?" Arthur casually asked, "I'll take all the time I need to complete this masterpiece of mine."
His simple answer seemed not to match what the lead master had in mind. He turned his gaze to the dean who just nodded and had a slight change in face.
'Is master nearby?' Arthur couldn't find another explanation for that, and that made him more eager to waste more time here. 'Should I take a nape?' he considered this but the golden dragon laughed as he warned him from doing such a thing.
'Don't go to such lengths, after all they might lose their patience and kill you while sleeping.'
'Can they?' Arthur was speechless before laughing, 'I dare they will.'
He dismissed the thought of sleeping here and just tried to waste more time as he delayed taking the meat and pills and prolonged the intervals between them.
"It's ready," Arthur finally finished the final bone on the third day. "It's time to finish my special array."
He moved towards the bones he once created and started arranging the units around the giant bones. Once finished he started to draw the Ley Lines diagram using the blood of the Golam this time.
He used a mix of both unpurified and purified Golam blood, while adding some of the mix remaining inside the gigantic cauldron and some drops of his blood every now and then.
He was like an artist drawing a painting, and most didn't understand what he was doing except those coming from higher planes and were diverse in arrays and Ley Lines diagrams.
"It's showtime," he muttered before taking a deep breath. 'Are you ready?'
'Start and I'll support you,' Gege said, 'but first use your other energies to control things.'
Arthur nodded as he first used his blue dragonair energy to stimulate the formation. The next moment the entire diagram lit up while the bones shook slightly.
"Damn!" he felt a great backlash from the bones and the diagram that made him even cough blood. "I didn't think it would be this fierce," he didn't lower his energy, and instead started to add his spiritual energy to the diagram.
His body shook vigorously from the inside but he never stopped providing his energy to the diagram. The diagram kept shining brightly while the bones began to shine gradually from the bottom.
"I think I need to light the letters first," he muttered while trying to endure the severe backlash, "then you will act."
'Agreed,' the golden dragon muttered.
'I can act now if you want,' Gege proposed, 'my energy can satisfy the needs of the diagram and sustain for a longer time.'
"Not now," Arthur wasn't in the mood to speak up and explain things now. He tried his best to maintain his focus here, and the most important thing of all was to try to heal up his inner wounds using his dragonair energy.
He endured and kept injecting both energies inside the array and diagram, litting more letters on the bones while every now and then a mighty shock would assault his body.
He kept pushing himself with pure will until all the writings over the bones were successfully lit.
"Damn… that was hard!" he coughed again before a thin line of blood emerged from the corners of his mouth before smiling. "It's time… Become!"
