Chapter 949: Finding Nodes (1/2)
Sam's plan worked. When he aligned all the mazes together. He found a total of eighteen common points in all of the mazes and all these eighteen points have common walls. When he stacked all the mazes together. And eliminated all walls that are not in these common points, he got eighteen long pillars of energy standing there.
Now, he marked all these points within the maze area and drafted all of this on another large scroll.
Then he started creating simulated formations with these eighteen nodes, but he wasn't able to create a maze formation like this. Not even a single maze.
He came to a possible conclusion that these are not the only nodes within. He must have missed somet nodes that are not exactly visible on the maze directly.
So, he can only figure out how the maze works from what he has and also how to destroy the maze within the limitations it gave him.
He kept on doing different experiments for a few days within the Divine dimension while Akhil and Noah proceeded with their plans.
They are slowly taking down the Astral Plane cultivators of lower level by themselves.
They recently broke through to the Middle-stage of Astral Plane Initiation a few months behind Sam who got a head-start from the Solar fragments bodies, so they could handle the Initial stage cultivators and the middle stage cultivators without much of problem.
The situation is chaotic, but not chaotic enough for the guard to be called off from this spot.
After hitting a road block within the divine dimension, Sam started roaming around the maze with his energy vision on to find out if he could see any loophole or get an epiphany that could help him crack the maze.
Everyday, the Saber monarch is getting more and more annoying as he complained about why it is taking so much time. Always questioning Sam's intelligence and expertise.
For the first time ever, Sam didn't feel the pleasure in unlocking a puzzle. He almost wanted to shut this annoying guy inside for as long as he can.
But he couldn't waste too much time.
And after that week, he managed to find three more nodes within and that are not covered by the walls in all seven mazes.
They are always free. But he cannot be sure if they are really the nodes, but from the experiments and the books he is once again going through from the library of the divine dimension, he concluded that there is a high probability that they are part of it.
By third week, he managed to get one more node, but after that there is nothing more.
This is the toughest formation he came across and since he cannot come into contact with it, he is having a hard time.
After one month of their arrival, Sam met with Akhil and Noah to give a lot of supplies at the same time to cause enough Chaos to let some of the security leave this place and one of the things that he gave them is poison and the addiction drugs of high dosage and a lot of high quality wine.
He need the security to be more diluted for what he was about to next.
After sending them away, he spoke to the Saber Monarch once again.
”Tonight, you have to make the largest crack you will ever make.”
”Why would I do that? I will be exhausted.”
”Do you want to get out or not?”
”You are asking the same question again and again. Are you dumb or what?”
Sam took a deep breath and said.
”If you want to get out, do what I say. I will be entering the formation this night.”
”You are entering the maze? Are you out of your mind? You wouldn't be able to endure the torture here. The Constant shift of mazes and minor formations that are within the maze that gives you illusions when you walk, you would just die because of the sheer mental exhaustion.”
”You don't have to worry about that. I only know about the few nodes, I couldn't figure out the formation mechanism from outside. I will be coming in and within a week or two, we will both get out of here.”
”As you wish. But if you die, it is your fault.”
”Yeah, I don't expect an annoying piece of work to take responsibility anyway. Just make the goddam hole alright.”
With that communication was cut.
