Novel Full 1310 You Need To Wait!
“It’s still not active yet…” I realised that I was too impatient in testing out these arrays.
When I tried to move and got restricted, I took it as a sign for the completion of these arrays. However the arrays were still absorbing the energy of my bones.
“Is everything alright?” Sara shouted from her far spot as she noticed my sudden move and retreat.
“Take note that the arrays take some time before getting activated,” I shouted back while examining the area around.
The fluid was still flowing from the holes, but the holes themselves didn’t show any sign of getting filled with any fluid.
This kept happening for at least an hour, before the holes started to get filled with fluid.
I got now that by the time the holes would be filled to the brim, the arrays would be activated and ready to use.
[Dude! What grade of bones did you use in the holes?] and just when I was waiting for the holes to get filled by the dark gold liquid, Silverlining sent a message over.
[Why?] I wasn’t caring about his thoughts or hidden intentions at all. My focus was over the arrays and how to control it to do other things than just boosting the defences and weakening the enemy.
[Because when we used your silver grade bones, the arrays will take almost fifteen minutes before getting activated]
And when he sent these words over, I couldn’t help but stop what I was thinking about and focus entirely over his words.
[Are you saying that by using silver grade bones, the time to activate the array will take fifteen minutes only?]
[That’s true! And if we used green graded bones, it won’t exceed five minutes!]
Hmm… That was quite interesting! It seemed the bones and their effect over the array functions wasn’t related in a predictable way.
I thought the fine gold bones would bring double the effect of the silver ones, and the dark gold would bring four times the effects of the silver bones.
But even after the passage of one hour, the holes were still being filled in slowly. I predicted at this rate, it’d take almost close to half an hour for the holes to get fully filled.
The activation time taken by the arrays was related to the strength and effects of the arrays. And if that was true, then the effects brought up by my dark gold bones would be much stronger than what I initially thought.
[So, what grade was that? All the sovereigns here are having a big debate. Are these the red bones you gave us before?]
[No, they are dark gold bones] I knew they mistook the dark gold fluid to come from the red bones. However their red bones were destined to bring more effects than my dark gold bones.
That was, of course, if they managed to claim one hundred red bones from me. Which was something they didn’t get yet.
[Ah! So you do have lots of these bones then to try them out, right?]
[After this war, I doubt I’ll have any bones left] I faked bitterness, not revealing my ability to claim more bones out of the dead bodies of my killed enemies.
Even if they watched, all they could see was me touching the dead bodies of the enemies. They’d not realise what I was doing until I’d explain things over to them.
And of course, this was impossible!
[Ah! You really plan to fortify the twenty zones…]
I knew he was still concerned about my safety. However I didn’t say anymore and returned to wait for the holes to get filled up with that fluid.
As I expected, after half an hour the holes were all filled to the brim. Seeing this made me look around.
“What’s going on?” I thought the moment these holes would get filled would be the moment of the entire array’s activation.
But even after the holes got filled up, nothing else happened.
“Shall I wait for a few more minutes?” I thought before realising something, “or should I interfere and control the entire structure to get activated?”
I tried to sense the power of these arrays, tried to push them to work and show up their magic. However I couldn’t feel anything at all.
[Just wait, the holes once finished will need little time to start activating the entire thing] and when I was puzzled, the words of Silverlining appeared in front of my eyes.
[What’s the sign of it getting activated?] I didn’t know why, but I was already quite impatient to try the different potentials of these arrays. I didn’t want my hopes to get to the roof and once again fell to the deepest abyss.
[Look at the ground] he sent before adding, [When the ground starts to shine with the same light like that fluid, then it’ll be the sign for the arrays getting activated]
[Cool!] I looked around, and the ground didn’t show any sign like this. I waited, and during the next half an hour, nothing changed.
“Wow! The effects of the dark gold bones are way beyond what I expected!” After the passage of two and half hours, the ground finally started to show signs of change.
The ground began to faintly get dyed with dark gold colour. It didn’t shine yet, and that meant there was still time before it’d get fully activated.
That meant at least three hours would pass before the full activation of the entire structure. The silver grade bones just needed fifteen minutes, and that made my hopes rise to a new level.
However there was a catch! If the bones take such a long time to get activated, that means in the middle of any battle, changing the already exhausted bones must be done before the expiration date of the previous bones.
“I have to try out and test throwing bones at the holes to know if they can get stored inside or add more time for the entire structure.”
