Chapter 301: The Black organization’s trap underneath Silver city part 2 (1/2)

”If my guess is indeed correct, then what they are trying to form right now should be the Lesser Chaos Magic Array. This kind of Magic Array Formation is the weakest of its type, but don't underestimate it, because just like the name of the Chaos stones suggests, this is the epitome of destruction, hence it's still something powerful nonetheless.” Charlotte explained. The reason why she knew about this was that in the past it was exactly this kind of Magic Array Formation that had taken her Master's life as she had pushed her out of its range. The destruction of the Lesser Chaos Magic Array Formation that she had experienced at that time had caused so great of damage that it had turned everything in a 1 square kilometer space into a wasteland, devoid of life and full of destruction.

”Exactly how much damage can it cause?” Leo can't help asking.

”Basing on the amount of Chaos stones they are currently using right now, with this place being the center, everything in a 5 square kilometer space would be turned into a wasteland.” Charlotte replied.

Hearing this, it wasn't only Leo who was shocked, but also Cassandra who had the basic knowledge of Chaos stones.

For Leo, he was shocked because this was the first time he is hearing this kind of information. It was out of his imagination that a Magic Array Formation could actually turn a place into a wasteland. Well, he hasn't seen for himself the effect when Puppet Master Lu Ming had destroyed his 2 Galaxies to make him believe that such a thing was really possible.

As for Cassandra, she could feel that Charlotte's description felt really familiar, it was like how her parents had died in the past. The location where her parents had died was turned into a wasteland, and even their bones couldn't be found. The only way to confirm that they have died was through the soldiers that had survived as they have seen with their own eyes how the King and Queen of Crimson Rose Kingdom were completely consumed by a dark-red light that shoots from the ground to sky as they then slowly turned into a skeleton before becoming mere dust and finally turning into nothing.

”Then, we need to stop this as much as we can!” Leo said. If the Lesser Chaos Magic Array was this powerful, then it was pretty easy to guess exactly how much it could affect both the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and the Silver royal family once it is activated. This might just result in the Black organization winning the war instead. So, he needs to do everything to stop it.

”I'm also thinking of the same thing as you, but the question is how exactly do we do that?” Charlotte replied, ”Looked at how many they are right now, even if we indeed abandon everything to attack them with the assistance of all your Elementals, it would still be difficult to guarantee that we will win because their desperation might just cause them to activate the Lesser Chaos Magic Array ahead of their planned schedule.”

”The question is, are they even already finished in forming the Magic Array Formation?” Cassandra said.

”That is indeed a good observation, but the difference to other Magic Array Formation is, the Lesser Chaos Magic Array doesn't necessarily require any finishing to complete. They can simply put together 10 Chaos stones and detonate it, which would turn everything in a few tens or so of meters into a wasteland and that obviously includes us as well.” Charlotte replied.

”So, what do you propose we should do?” Leo asked Charlotte. If the situation was really as grave as what she had described it to be, then she would have long suggested that they leave this place quickly since it would be hopeless for them to stop this no matter what they would do. And instead of wasting their time trying to stop them from completing it, it is much better for them to inform the others of what the Black organization was planning to do. But since she didn't say anything of that kind, it simply means that she knows a way to stop them.

Cassandra also understood this, so she turned to look at Charlotte curiously.

Charlotte smiled as she replied, ”Nothing really escapes your ears, will you, Leo...?”

”It depends on what kind of conversation we are having.” Leo replied.

”That's fair,” Charlotte nodded her head, ”Back to the main point. The way to stop this is we simply need to find and kill the person who can activate this Lesser Chaos Magic Array. Just like any Magic Array Formation, the Lesser Chaos Magic Array needed someone to have the so-called button to activate it. Once we find this person and kill him, no matter what the others would do, they can't detonate the Chaos stones anymore. Unless one of them can quickly connect their own Mana to all the Chaos stones present here right this moment. Even if they can indeed connect into one Chaos stone and detonate it, it would still not affect the other Chaos stones that easily because every Chaos Mana is different in form, each has a unique way of destruction, and not to mention the shell that contained the Chaos Mana is not something that can easily be destroyed in the first place. The container can already withstand the unending assault of Chaos Mana inside, how much more a Chaos Mana that only attacks them one time and from the outside which hasn't even received any sort of damage yet.”

”It's that easy?” Leo was dumbfounded, he had really thought that they would do something extremely troublesome.

”It might sound really easy, but the question is; is the person that has the button even present here right now? Or even if he indeed is, how do we determine exactly that person is the one who has the button? Even someone in a No Star level can have the button, so with their number in nearly a hundred, we need to look one by one to find that person.” Charlotte explained.

Leo quickly understood what Charlotte meant to say. The button for the Lesser Chaos Magic Array Formation can't always be in the hands of the most powerful person in the group of Black organization, it could also be in the hands of the average or worst at the weakest. And what's even worse was, there is also a possibility where that person is far from here. Simply put, he had already connected his own Mana in the Chaos stones before it was transported here.

”The first problem though is how exactly do we get in their formation without getting found out.” Cassandra said. With a lot of people sticking close to each other, it would nearly be impossible to disguise as one of them.
