"According to the system, the reason why we haven't been thought about it is that breaking an array involves having profound knowledge of the said array and having a lot of mana control required to cast the breaking spell and all these are things we lack." Blake relayed the words of the system to them.
"So how are we meant to break the array if we don't have the requirements?" Blake asked the system.
[I never said you didn't have the requirements, I meant them.] The system said pointing at Castiel and Brian.
'Huh?' Blake was lost by the system's words.
[The most important requirement needed to cast the array breaker spell is mana control and out of you 3 you are the closest because your willpower and mana control are greater than those of your peers due to your extracurricular training.] The system explained.
The amount of willpower and mana control needed to cast space freeze wasn't what many students in the academy could handle, but after weeks of vigorous training, Blake could almost instantly cast space freeze without a problem proving how far he had gotten.
'Lead the way.' Blake stopped with the questions and let the system carry on.
[Like I said 2 things are involved when breaking an array; first you have to have knowledge of the array and its weak points in other to have a chance at breaking it because wrongly tampering with an array might lead to unforeseen events and when unlucky, a gruesome death.] The system's words made Blake gulp.
[Second thing you need to know is the spell for breaking an array. I call it short circuit and it involves using mana, space, and lightning element to break the weak points (nodes) of an array.] The system said.
'Did you make a spell just for me?' Seeing how the spell was suited for him, Blake was surprised that the system developed a spell for him.
[The All-father awakened the lightning and space element and he was the one that developed it, so don't flatter yourself.] The system shook its 'head'.
'Just as I thought…' Blake snorted.
[Back to the array problem… I will handle the space part by transmitting the positions of all the nodes of the array, all you have to do is use needle mana construct to connect to the nodes before overloading them with lightning energy, thereby disrupting the flow of mana in the array, forcing it to shut down.] The system explained in detail the process.
'Alright, I am ready…' After taking a deep breath Blake crouched and connected to the array by placing his palm on where the flood of mana from the 3 corridors intersected.
[On my mark, go.] The system connected Blake to its mana vision, giving him an in-depth view of how an array looked like.
"My God!" Blake was speechless when the hallway changed from stone walls to floods of transparent liquid meeting at the point he stood.
'It's just like the lake explanation you gave about mana.' Blake amazed by the system's mana vision.
[I know you are excited, but let's keep our minds on the prize.] The system said snapping Blake out of his reverie.
Sixteen lights appeared at different points of the array showing the location of nodes. With unwavering focus, Blake conjured sixteen mana needles and pierced each node simultaneously.
After he had made sure all the mana needles were in place, he began charging up a burst of electricity and releasing it into the needles, causing a chain reaction in the nodes making the array forcefully shut down.
'That was easy..." Compared to how the system had spoken about breaking an array, this was too easy, shocking Blake for a moment.
[As I said, don't flatter yourself.] The system said. [The reason why those at your level aren't thought this is because locating the nodes requires knowledge of the array, mana control, and most importantly mana perception. Linking you to my mana vision took care of the most difficult part making the rest of the operation a piece of cake.]
'So when do I get to learn mana vision?' Not having any plans of arguing with the system, Blake quickly accepted the fact and looked for a way to get better.
[You will surely learn mana vision, but for when, I am not sure. Obtaining mana vision depends on your understanding of mana and just like your assimilation with the space element, it has to come within.] The system explained leaving Blake dejected.
"What the…" The conversation lasted only for few seconds and just after they were done breaking the misdirection array, the corridors in front and at the left phased out of existence leaving only that at the right and the trio dumbstruck.
[That is the classic misdirection array. If you had gone through any of those corridors you would have alerted the owner and activated so many traps that you wouldn't know what killed you.] The system answered Blake's question before he could ask it.
"Are you sure that way is safe?" Seeing what just happened Brian couldn't help but double-check.
"Let's find out…" Blake said as he led them through the corridor and against the mana current.
After 5 minutes of walking, the trio reached a silver double door made out of an unknown metal.
With the one thing they had learned so far, no one laid a finger on it, instead, they sort for the system's opinion.
[It's protected by 5 overlapping arrays, but this won't be a problem all it would take is sometimes because you might need some rest.] The system gave a report after taking a close look at the arrays.
[The first 2 arrays are the hardening and shock absorbing array. Here are their nodes, go for it.] With mana vision on, the system transmitted the location of 28 nodes causing Blake to break a sweat as he cracked them.
[3 more to go, take a rest, and when you are ready we continue.] The system gave him a break after seeing him sweat.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
