Even after ten thousand years, these Magic Patterns, now reawakened, thrilled everyone, even though they were simple.
The smooth curves, the elegant magic tattoo horns, and the increasingly starry like energy nodes, were like a lady awakening gracefully, stretching the languor of a long sleep.
But just when everyone was thrilled, this ’lady’ suddenly yawned.
The first fracture in the Magic Pattern appeared.
The fact that Magic Patterns could have issues over such a long time was something everyone had considered, but under Angel’s deliberate guidance, they had gradually buried this possibility.
Unexpectedly, there really was a problem.
Don’t mention Dox, even Kaier noticed the problem at this moment, and he asked Dox worriedly: "What, what should we do about this?"
"You’re asking me? How would I know?" Dox was also taken aback at this moment.
"Didn’t you say there wouldn’t be any problems?"
"Let me say it again, I’m not a Prophet Wizard; it’s normal for my inspiration to be off!" Dox solemnly declared aloud, while worriedly looking at the faulty Magic Pattern above.
I hope this faulty Magic Pattern doesn’t affect the main framework... Some Magical Energy Arrays can still function even if there’s a fault in the Magic Pattern. As long as the main trunk isn’t damaged, at most, the effectiveness will be slightly reduced.
However, Dox’s hopes did not materialize. After the first fault in the Magic Pattern appeared, other gradually spreading light patterns began to dim as well.
The second fault in the Magic Pattern emerged.
Shortly afterward, the third fault in the Magic Pattern appeared adjacent to the second, directly manifesting.
Three consecutive faults in the Magic Pattern, along with issues in adjacent ones, might likely affect the main framework of the Magical Energy Array.
"Did we fail this time?" Dox muttered to himself and then looked towards the Black Earl.
He saw that the Black Earl’s nose didn’t show any signs of disturbance, and the surrounding atmosphere was calm, as if the output of Magic Power hadn’t changed.
It seemed as though the Black Earl hadn’t noticed the faults above.
This was clearly impossible.
A flash of insight crossed Dox’s mind: "Could it be that my inspiration wasn’t actually wrong, and there’s a twist in the situation?"
Otherwise, the Black Earl wouldn’t remain so composed.
While Dox was pondering this, Kaier exclaimed beside him: "Lord Chaowei is moving, and so is his elemental partner!"
Dox quickly looked up and saw Angel, as Kaier had said, moving with the Wind’s Force, heading towards the first location where the Magic Pattern fault appeared.
Upon reaching the first fault in the Magic Pattern, Angel immediately retrieved a pre-made semi-finished External Array Disk from his bracelet, carving with an engraving pen while signaling Dangross to control the temperature so the disk could slowly melt onto the original Star Color Stone.
Within almost two seconds, the patch was applied to the first faulty Magic Pattern location.
Though it looked like a patch, the effect had no discount. The Magic Power the Black Earl supplied smoothly passed through the patch and entered the following Magic Pattern channel.
After fixing the first faulty Magic Pattern, Angel discussed the rate of Magic Power transmission with the Black Earl while rushing to the locations of the second and third faulty Magic Patterns.
In the eyes of others, these two faulty Magic Patterns were extremely dangerous because they were stuck together, which might affect the main route of the Magical Energy Array.
But for Angel, these two faulty Magic Patterns actually saved him effort.
He only needed to take out a slightly larger External Array Disk to cover the two faulty Magic Patterns at once.
Just like before, Angel collaborated with Dangross and quickly patched the new faults.
However, it wasn’t over; more Magic Patterns displayed signs of faults.
What was initially a "brilliant starry sky" now at least dimmed by half.
This situation, which could almost certainly result in the failure of activating the Magical Energy Array, was gradually turning around under Angel’s repeated repairs, reigniting the starry sky.
Angel’s actions amazed everyone.
Even the Black Earl was a bit surprised. He thought that even if there were faults in the Magic Pattern, there might be just one or two, and with Angel’s skills, although difficult to fix, there was still a chance.
But he hadn’t anticipated the greatness of time’s power.
Within a brief period, numerous faults appeared in the Magic Pattern.
And it wasn’t over yet; more surprising to the Black Earl was that he expected Angel’s skill level might make repairs challenging, especially since repairs had to be done quickly midway through activation.
Yet Angel’s speed was astonishing, and the Magic Patterns he engraved were incredibly stable.
It seemed like he and Dangross were advancing together, but in fact, Dangross was chasing after Angel, its melting speed unable to match Angel’s engraving speed.
"Still underestimated him." The Black Earl pondered inwardly. With such remarkable skill, it’s no wonder Rhein protects him so completely.
Miraculous operations bring miraculous results.
The dim stars each reignite.
More beams of light spread towards the surroundings, and under their very eyes, a huge Magical Energy Array hovering over the apex began to take shape.
"He can even patch it up this way..." Kaier was stunned. Is this the sheer strength of a Research and Development Institute member?
Terrifying, truly terrifying.
Dox’s expression wasn’t much better than Kaier’s; his mouth instinctively widened in awe.
However, inside, he was thinking about something else:
He’s going to latch onto this big leg! No, he’s going to form a friendship! They will definitely become the best of friends!
...
When the Magical Energy Array fully emerged, Angel wiped the slight sweat off his forehead and looked towards Dangross, smiling.
Compared to simply fixing the Magical Energy Array issue, Angel was actually happier that Dangross didn’t mess up.
Even though Dangross was trailing behind his pace from beginning to end, Angel deliberately slowed down to sync with Dangross.
But this didn’t affect Angel’s evaluation of Dangross.
After all, Dangross was just a Fire Elemental, not yet fully matured. Being able to keep up with Angel and achieve this level without making any mistakes shows it has considerable potential.
Bear in mind, when Angel initially learned the Thermal Melting Technique, he would accidentally fuse adjacent Magic Patterns, whereas Dangross didn’t damage any nearby Magic Patterns despite such intricate operations! It proves its control is no less than the power of fire!
"You’ve done very well, no, extraordinarily well!" Angel couldn’t help but give Dangross a high-five.
Though it seemed like Angel slapped Dangross’s face, Dangross didn’t mind at all and chuckled. Its eyes looked at Angel with even more closeness.
After praising Dangross, Angel didn’t forget the main task.
Now that the Magical Energy Array is visible, next is to fully activate the Magical Energy Array and see if there exists a pathway into the Underground Labyrinth!
