Chapter 120 - A Ritual Of Exchange And Communion (1) (1/2)

Inside the tutorial chamber...

*Scribble*

*Scribble*

Suddenly, the faint scribbling noises resounded out...

It appeared that the sounds originated from the chamber's corner where a black tent was situated.

The corner was obviously the same favorite corner where a certain someone liked to pitch his tent.

At this moment, Jeremy was in the said black tent while sitting on a soft cushion and scribbling on a brown animal leather the size of approximately 50x50 centimeters.

Surprisingly, Jeremy inscribed on the leather by using both hands' index fingers simultaneously while the tips of the two fingers were now shining with a light-blue glow.

It appeared that Jeremy was currently up to something again...

Right now, if someone took a closer look at the brown leather, they would see the thing Jeremy was inscribing happened to be something very similar to a diagram...

The diagram in which Jeremy used to draw when he enchanted the Forsaken Branch in his house basement.

At that time, Jeremy had only inscribed one big diagram on the leather doormat comprised of many big and small complex lines and curves to create the diagram's body.

However, this time, the layout was quite different from the last time, as there were more than five small 'diagrams' with not-so-complex lines and curves connected to one another like five small hubs.

From a single glance, one might be able to tell that it was clearly different and distinct from the diagram Jeremy had inscribed before.

Actually, the two were indeed different 'things' as Jeremy was currently inscribing five small arrays instead of one big diagram.

At this moment, after his fingers' each stroke were flicked on the animal leather, the arrays seemed to become more and more complete...

*Scribble*

*Scribble*

Jeremy continued inscribing the magical arrays on the animal leather with his total concentration...

At this time, it appeared that the newly acquired skill [Focus] had also come to play as Jeremy could focus on the inscribing process even better and easier than before.

Jeremy knew all too well that he could draw an even better diagram than when he created the staff back on Earth.

Just like that, the inscribing session proceeded up until some minutes later...

Currently, Jeremy suddenly flicked his two index fingers as he drew the last stroke and put the finishing touch to the arrays by smoothly moving both fingers towards one another. As a result, the five arrays finally became whole and connected flawlessly.

'Done... Array 1-157...'

Jeremy thought inwardly while retracting his hands from the animal leather.

Simultaneously, the faint lines on the animal skin inscribed by the purest mana in existence suddenly lit up in bright light.

The whole tent's interior got brightened up with the sudden white light from the inscriptions on the brown leather continually, making it appear like someone had just turned on a light bulb inside the tent.

Simultaneously, Jeremy also scrutinized the white glowing lines and patterns on the leather, which were composed by using various array inscription techniques, mana techniques, mind power, and highly concentrated focus to create.

'The arrays could easily become one of the masterpieces of all low-rank arrays on Ortus...' Jeremy thought appreciatingly while nodding his head slightly in satisfaction.

Upon observing the arrays for some more time, Jeremy finally felt assured that nothing had gone wrong with the inscribing process.

Right now, he had already finished setting up the overall layout, and the next step was to fill in the corresponding mana runes and elemental runes inside the five arrays according to the process and sequence of the Spell Array 1-157.

That's right, Jeremy was creating something called Spell Array 1-157...

After a few seconds had passed, the lighting lines and curves on the animal leather finally dimmed down a little.

*Sigh*

At the same time, Jeremy also sighed a bit after seeing the first step was finally done with no hiccup occurring in the process.

Then he thought inwardly,

'I should have collected more mana fluid from those trees...'

Upon thinking so in a depressed manner, Jeremy shook his head slightly as he had already spent all the collected mana in the bottles on many occasions, causing him to have none left right now.

Well, two of the most significant occasions were that he used the mana fluid to enchant and create the Forsaken Branch, whereas another one was when Jeremy used the remaining mana fluid in the bottle to break through to the peak substage of Journeyman Mage.

Unfortunately, Jeremy didn't know beforehand that he wouldn't be able to replenish mana after coming into the tutorial, as within his mind was that he could gather mana anytime he wanted.
