284 Kasmanan Family (1/2)
After another two hours, Alex finally came up with a plan to utilize his Arrays perfectly.
Alex used his Spatial Gate again to sneak inside the Kasmanan Family.
It took him more than three hours to place a single Jadeite Mirror Array and a hundred Fire Strings Arrays. Allex placed those Fire String Arrays in different locations according to the map: in the garden, the roof, on a pavilion, and many other places.
Because of Nicole's information, Alex didn't meet any people from the Kasmanan Family as long as he was careful enough.
”Njomo.” After Alex finished his job, he called Njomo.
The dog came out of his shadow.
”Go outside the house and inform me if someone is going to find our hiding space.”
Njomo didn't bark. He only nodded his head and disappeared.
Alex used his Spatial Gate to hide. He moved around to activate his Fire Strings Arrays inside that blue realm. When he arrived at the array, he just opened a little gate to activate the array.
He then moved to the second spot. Soon enough, the dark sky suddenly brightened.
The soldiers finally realized what was happening. They were shocked when they saw fire inside the mansion they were supposed to protect. They didn't even realize that there was a fire inside.
The guards were panicking due to the sudden fire. They shouted to inform the others inside the house.
”Fire!”
”Fire!”
Even the family leader of the Kasmanan family, who was cultivating inside his room, smelled the burnt scent that was lingering in the air. He opened his eyes and came out of his room.
”What happens?” He asked the panicking guard.
”The house is on fire.”
”What? How can the house be on fire? Do you check the cause of the fire?”
”We still don't know the cause.”
”Useless.” He immediately went to check it himself.
Alex increased his pace amidst this confusing situation. The fire from Fire String Arrays was spreading fast. In the garden, the fire started burning the trees and grasses around it. In the living quarter, the fire started burning the building and made the people panic.
Until finally,
”Jadeite Mirror Array. Activate.”
A huge sphere that enclosed the entire house appeared. Even a fool could realize. It was an attack on the Kasmanan Family.
It... was not the entire house, though. Alex made the sphere as small as he could, so his target would be achieved faster. After all, making a bigger sphere was the same as giving the Kasmanan Family more time to think up a plan.
In a corner that was hidden pretty well, Alex opened his Spatial Gate and came inside. He called Anna, Leoz, as well as Fabio.
”I want you three to maintain the array.”
All of them nodded as they stretched out their hand to the core of the array. If people looked at it from outside, it was like three hands coming out of a small hole.
Alex then summoned Greg.
”Greg, I want you to make another barrier.”
”Yes.” Greg nodded his head before raising his shield. ”True Spirit Body. Fortress.”
Greg's armor turned to green. Alex was a bit interested in what kind of transformation Greg would have. A horn? A wing? Sadly, his expectation was betrayed. After Greg's armor turned to green like when he was using his move, there was no other change.
”You didn't have any change?” Alex asked.
”I am the same as the others, Young Master. I have changed.” Greg said.
”But I didn't see any change?”
”Alex, do you forget what you see is Greg's armor?” Anna asked with a weird smile.
”!!!” Alex was startled. He indeed had forgotten about it. He had treated Greg and his armor as one thing. He thought there would be a change in Greg(Armor).
Inside his armor, Greg's human skin turned into a black scale. But all of it was covered by his armor so no one could see his appearance.
”Fortress Form First Stage, Enhanced Wall.”
After Greg used his skill, he shook his head, trying to erase his curiosity. Alex then activated his Spirit Eyes to observe the scene, and he indeed saw a green barrier that appeared inside his Jadeite Mirror Array.
...
Inside the house, the people were panicking, and the family immediately convened a meeting upon the order of the family head.
His name was Willy Kasmanan. He had bright orange hair and a muscular body. After he saw the appearance of a barrier, he knew this was an attack. He immediately told the soldiers to evacuate all members and convened a meeting.
When the elders had gathered, he spoke. ”This must be an attack. Judging from the appearance of the fire... the enemy should be inside the barrier. And it seems that our enemy is an Array Master. Did any of you offend an Array Master?”
He narrowed his eyes while exposing his killing intent. The elders were panicking. After all, no one was foolish enough to pick a fight with an Array master.
Of course, they didn't know that his decision on killing Alex would be the cause. The room was silent because no one thought they had offended an Array Master.
”Anyway, we will try to find the one who attacked us first. If he/she is weaker than us, kill him. But if he/she is stronger than us, try to talk about it with him first.
”Remember, if I found out that any of you are the one who offended this Array Master. You will be punished by Family Rule, which is death.”
