Chapter 150: Array Path(2) (2/2)
This time Aydin got serious!
He picked up a broken long stick from the grass and softly applied pressure on the point.
Like magic at work, the point opened in a slow manner and stopped when it had reached a size just right enough for humans to enter.
Nevertheless, after the gap expanded, it showed a deeper shade of blue inside, indicating another barrier.
Kris caught on quickly, ”This is the second array right? The one you said prevents humans from crossing? How do we bypass this?”
Aydin also nodded his head at the situation, ”The 'human barrier' array was built from the inside. So, we can't find a gap, not without entirely bringing down the first array.”
After a thought lighted in his head, Aydin snapped his fingers, ”Oh, that's it. I bet Legend Caelein didn't put much effort into the second array. Se we just need something to upset its calm state. Doing that, we can make a gap for ourselves.”
Kris obeyed Aydin's words and carefully stretched his hand into the gap. When he reached the other barrier, he shot out an energy blast from his hand.
*Boom!*
When the dust settled, instead of a gap appearing on the inner barrier, Kris's hand was set aflame by the barrier.
”The defense mechanism, marvelous. I'm sure if he had not died Legen Caelein would have reached a sagely level on the [Array Path], enough to be the best on the planet!” awed Aydin.
Meanwhile, Jake stayed silent as he observed the defense mechanisms of the barrier.
Just like Aydin, he had reached the same conclusion but was always late to arrive at that, showing his inexperience on the path.
However, he had a way to bypass the inner array, going by Aydin's method.
Jake moved from his spot and pushed a grim Kris away.
Thinking as he acted, he stretched forth his arm, 'He said upset the calm state. I need to watch out for two things. The first is the timer for the defense mechanism. It only acts up after an attack had been released and executed. So, my attack needs to last long and be constant. The second is the nature of the attack. Judging by the fire defense mechanism. I can't use an ice-attributed attack, which leaves me with only one option.'
Jake gathered his lightning element to his palm. He weakened the output and softly placed his palm on the barrier
'Lightning is a destructive element. It is enough to upset the array. I just need to dictate my vibration.'
*Shzzzz!*
Electric sparks coiled on his palm like snakes. As soon as he placed his palm on the barrier, he lost control like a boat in the big sea.
It took a few seconds to gain back control, then he counter-attacked!
Jake pressed his palm on the barrier. Every time the barrier tried to take control, he pressed further, gathering momentum.
It could be said that Jake was utilizing the insights he had gotten from his sword technique.
After a few more minutes of this 'tug of war', Jake won and a small dot appeared on the barrier.
Beside him, Aydin stretched his hand and used the stick to expand the gap, ”It is done!”
