Chapter 444 - Putting a lid on a jar(Part-4) (1/2)

”You take that over that place and work on that array while I work on yours.”

”The heavy rain is making it difficult, Daoist Ryuu.”

”Excuses all I am hearing excuses, now go help them.”

The person left with a scowl on his face which was mirrored by Ryuu as he began to work on the part of the array that was originally partly given to another to work on but his caught on to various mistakes which was the source of his current displeasure, he knew that what that person said was true as the rain in the level messed with their KI but still it was no excuse to draw sloppily as well as make mistakes.

'ugh I feel homesick, enough is enough I cannot wait for our time in Eden to end, Zywia was right the quality of teachings between my teachers and others are a world apart as such I am much better than others in a way it is nice but at the same time it is a bit disheartening, the only good thing I can think about my time is I got some very good friends and met someone special.'

As Ryan finished creating the array his face gained a scowl before he grimaced, 'Right I should not compare and evaluate them according to my level of knowledge, but still they should be a lot faster, maybe I should drop by and speed things up a bit.'

Frozen Ocean looked over from the top of the fort they had erected, the fort was constructed using different materials and in the midst of it was a room that held the gateway to the other level, the fort would be stretching it a bit further as it was more like a large earthen mound which at first glance did not in any way resemble any stereotypical fort but she begged to disagree seeing the number of traps that were placed in it, some hilarious and frustrating to downright lethal and dangerous, every inch of the fort was being covered by some form of trap.

Zywia appeared by her side as she spoke softly, ”It looks as if Ryuu is planning some sort of the last stand.”

Frost Flames nodded at her words as she spoke, ”It seems to be as such, but I doubt this would be his last stand but one of the many confrontations we would sure to have.”

Zywia nodded before her eyes fell on another group, that was working tirelessly on various medicinal pills and poisons, some for their consumption others for use on the enemy.

”He is a good commander since the day he began to take command and to lead us, always eager to help and defend us.”

Zywia simply agreed at Frost Flame's words before she spoke with a sigh, ”This is going to be very bloody.”

Frozen Ocean nodded at that with a smile as she spoke, ”I know and if we detect it is too much to handle we can skedaddle, you know the gate that is now at the heart of the fort, it would be very easy for us to fall back to the next level if the things go south.”

Zywia looked up as she scowled, ”I am really starting to hate this rain.”

Frost Flames smiled back at her as she spoke with mirth shining in her voice, ”Please do not say that to Ryuu he would be so heartbroken.”

Zywia snorted at her words before she spoke with a grimace while looking towards Ryuu, ”ugh, look at him over there berating the cultivator, I had once warned him to ease on them but no he is too good to listen to plain old me.”

Frost Flames looked towards Ryuu's direction, and from what she could see it was clear to her that Ryuu was severely berating another cultivator while jabbing towards a particular direction, 'It seems someone is not happy with the array work.'

”Ryuu's teachers are perfectionist of the highest order, and it seems to me that Ryuu had picked up their habit, such a hassle.”

As Zywia shook her head tiredly Frost Flames spoke with a frown, ”What is wrong with being a perfectionist? Is it not better to chase after perfection especially for those who are array masters?”

Instead of replying to her, Zywia shouted out at the top of her lungs, ”Brother Ryuu can you please come here for a minute.”

Ryan looked up to see Zywia who beckoned to him, but unfortunately, he was tied up at the moment as such he shouted back to her, ”I will be there within a minute.”

With that, he then went to work on the array as Zywia turned to look towards Frost Flames as she spoke with a smirk, ”Now watch and see how fast he completed the entire array before he comes here and then I would show you something that would blow your mind.”

It would be a couple of minutes later that Ryuu found himself standing by their side as an annoyed Zywia spoke with a huff, ”Ryuu I told you a long time ago, to not compare yourself with them they are beyond your level, so please stop being harsh.”

Ryuu let out a frustrated sigh at her words as he replied, ”Even if you say so there is a minimum threshold that I could tolerate these people are going beyond that, I need them perfect for the future confrontation, not to mention the time I lost with them, as I have to take a peek at what our alchemists are cooking.”

Zywia rolled her eyes at his words before she spoke with a huff, ”Give me a pill that your teacher would accept as barely passable at your level.”
