Chapter 86: [Bonus ] Leaving For A Mission [3]

As Lukros and Lucas were still flying at such a slow pace, Lucas asked Lukros to tell him what he had been doing for the last 4 months. 

Lukros just looked at Lucas with pondering eyes and nodded afterward.

"But first, start with why you believe that you can follow me by killing yourself."

Lukros's eyebrows met as he pouted at Lucas. "Master, you are still mean. Didn't I tell you that I was nothing without you?" And as he said those words, his eyes and face started to be painted with sadness.

"My parents died after being killed by humans and demi-humans before I hatched out of my egg. And you said that you didn't get revenge on them because of the balance that happens in the world. Every creature can't live in harmony, and there will still be someone who'll reign in the food chain."

[A/N: In their previous world, demi-humans existed.]

Lucas didn't say anything and just lent his ear to Lukros sentiment. And his story goes on. He started it again from where he followed Lucas.

"There were some of my siblings that wanted to follow you, but they also wanted to obey your words. However, I was the first one to use the legendary sword after you, thinking that I might be in a different 'afterlife' if I die normally."

Lucas just silently snickered after those words. He still can't believe that Lukros was really stupid without him, and even though he was worried about leaving them, he was fixed on his decision since it was not his responsibility anymore. They all had lived with him for almost eternity, and making them join the world was also his wish before dying.

"So, when I died, everything happened with the elders. And, when I started venturing this strange 'afterlife' after absorbing some tainted souls, I realized that this might be just another world."

"They have different energies, and unintentionally, those energies blended with my mana as I tried to absorb them. My core also started changing as the quantity rose and the quality decreased. But I wasn't saddened by it. I am actually happier since I feel like I can be an equal to you, Master." Lukros continued.

Lucas scoffed and said, "You wish. I am still your master."

And as he uttered those words, a worry emerged as he recalled Lukros's words.

'The other children might have decided to follow me as well. But I can't feel their presence... The master-servant relationship pact, I can't feel it.'

Pondering about it, a reason might have affected it. This world affects them, not just the powers of the living creatures, but also the world itself.

"And so, I continued going through different places and continued absorbing tainted souls..."

Lukros was continuing his story, but as Lucas started feeling off with the surroundings, he ordered him to stop. 

They both stopped above a terrain with an irregular land formation, and as they stopped, Lucas announced that he felt a presence.

"Lukros, can you feel this energy? It's quite bothersome, but I think I've read this before."

Lukros just pondered as he gazed at Lucas's face. He noticed that Lucas was being wary and overly cautious about his surroundings.

"What is it, Master? I can't understand, but I think I feel something strange with the terrain." Lukros uttered.

Lucas nodded and gazed down at the terrain below them. He pointed in one direction. However, for Lukros, it was just an average land formation with green plants covering it.

The land below them could be considered a mountain in size, but, as compared to its height, it was just the range of a hill.

"I think this is called "Array Disfunction." Look at the land. I think it is supposed to be the material of activation, and it was distorted for that reason." Lucas commented, making Lukros confused.

"I can't follow you, Master. What do you mean by that?"

"It is hard to explain to you since you don't know, but I will just visit it and stay here," Lucas ordered, then, following Lukros's nod, Lucas descended.

As Lucas descended, he noticed that there were at least 30 people on the ground doing something in a worried manner. And, as he took it into his curiosity, he approached them and asked.

"What's the matter here?"

The group looked at him in wary as Lucas assured them with a gesture that he does not imply any threats, they answered him.

"Senior Expert, we created an array around the hill. However, we did fail on some of the procedures, dysfunctioning and causing distortion over the land." They answered.

Then, Lucas followed them with his words, "Get lost. This land might explode from the excess usage of spirit jewels. How much did you use?" 

"Perhaps over 1 million spirit jewels." 

Lucas's eyes widened at how absurd the amount was, but because of the time, he couldn't afford to ask them.

"I will take over the land. Just leave before it explodes."

They were all painted with worried faces when Lucas said it, but seeing how serious he was, they couldn't afford to ignore it.

"But Senior, what are you going to do with it? Are you an array master?" they asked.

Lucas shook his head. "I am not, but I am a direct disciple of the Sect Master of the Profound Symbol Sect."

They gasped at the revelation. "T-The famous specialized array sect in the southern region? You mean you're a direct disciple of the sect's master?" They bombarded him with disbelief.

Lucas nodded. "Yes, I am. So, as your senior, by how you address me, I ask you to leave this place before it goes out of your hands."

They looked into each other's eyes and nodded.

They all bowed in unison, making Lucas flinch.

"We, the disciples of the Brilliant Sign Sect, obey this senior." And as they pronounced those words, they all left the scene to Lucas.

They dashed at each tree trunk and crossed a river. Since they all know how dangerous it is, knowing that Lucas claims to be a disciple of a Profound Sect, moreover, of the sect master of the said sect, they were relieved. 

Lucas demonstrated his point not only through his discipleship but also through his keen observation, which shocked everyone when he pointed out the problem with the array they created.

And when everyone had already left the scene, Lucas started fixing the array.

'This one is just easy. They all had forgotten that they were not blended and were not moving in unison. They all have different talents in Qi circulation. As it needs a tremendous amount of manpower to control the energies, they used this method.

However, just for what reason did they use this mountain as a material for the array?'

And as Lucas inspected the formation on the huge array, he pondered.

"They were using it as a pillar for a huge protective array? A grand formation? Just what kind of huge place are they trying to cover."

He noticed a nearby location as he began flying to inspect things from the skies.

"Isn't that the place where Taulo is hidden? I didn't notice that I was near that location. Perhaps Lukros's talks made me unaware of our location."

Lucas cut off his thinking and started continuing the array formation. At first, he located the location of the spirit jewels, and as he eyed them, he used his cultivation to pull the energy, and as he gathered them, he spread it all over the array formation and fixed the symbols on it.

'I didn't practice making an array as a pillar for another array, but I know how one is built.'

Of course, what Lucas knew was from the books only and hadn't been applied practically to his skills, but as profound as the symbols on the array already are, he had some guides of where to finish the array.

And, after some profound touching with the symbols in midair, Lucas began activating it with the remainder of the energy spread across the entire array.

The whole terrain was lit in green radiant lights and, as the formation of the array was revealed, all the 30 people looked in awe.

"He fixed it!" They all proclaimed it as Lucas started finishing the array. After a few minutes, the light disappeared and the terrain started forming into a regular one, which is the normal shape of a hill.

Then, afterwards, Lucas descended and was greeted by the same group of people.

"Thank you very much, Senior Expert! You are not just a generous senior, but also a genius one to look up." They all said to Lucas.

Lucas just smiled at them as he spoke, expressing what had been lingering in his mind.

"The array, it was for the Taulo, right? The one with Sacred Blood." Lucas said.

They all nodded at him as he continued his words.

"You said you are from the Brilliant Sign Sect. Does that also mean that you are all disciples specializing in array formation?" he asked.

And as they answered in accordance with Lucas's questions, they nodded.

"We were tasked with finishing a pillar at this location. But, if you are asking why we were tasked, we can't answer it. We are just an average sect in the eastern region." A representative said.

"I see... It's all enough. I will be leaving now, so take care." Lucas pronounced but before he could leave, they asked.

"How can we show you our gratitude, Senior Expert?"

Lucas smiled. "Just act normally and don't be hostile to anyone. That will be okay." 

In fact, Lucas is at a loss for words; he simply cares less about them and is certain that no one can satisfy his desires at this point.. Thus, he just left them with words that may have made them see him as a mysterious person.
