Chapter 1179: An Easier Plan To Repair The Portal
Ten minutes turned eventually to one whole hour. And after that, he felt like there was no hope for the light to intensify any further.
"Perhaps the pyramids need more time," he muttered to himself, "yet this will take forever…" he knew waiting now wasn\'t going to work. And yet he wasn\'t that dejected.
"If I managed to build arrays around all the pyramids, I may be able to fix such a problem, right?" he looked around, before feeling how crazy this plan was.
This place was simply gigantic. Trying to make a few of these arrays wouldn\'t take that much longer. But trying to cover up everything was insane.
"I need more help…" At this point, he realised doing it himself wouldn\'t do, "I need to rebuild more of my monstrous weapons…"
Yet building these was going to take him quite some time. Building a single weapon would take roughly half a day now from him. And yet that didn\'t stop him.
He already lost eight of his monstrous weapons in the last expedition. And this time, he planned to build twenty more.
"I have nothing to worry about so far, so why shouldn\'t I do it?" As he decided on this plan, he started to spread out the two monstrous weapons and all the others he\'d manage to build around.
He controlled them to build more arrays while he was building more weapons. As he was immersed in all this, and after the passage of two days, Lara finally decided to send people to look after him.
She wanted to send people after his entry to the underground city. And yet she was worried he\'d notice them, come back, and give her a long talk.
Yet after two days, she finally decided to take the risk. "He must be somewhere working and busy, so search carefully in all buildings and try to not cause too much noise, ok?"
She gathered a team of a hundred, led by three of the high end masters in her family.
Her best guess was that William was working somewhere inside a protective shield of many inside that city. And so she asked them to start looking for him inside these places.
The ones she selected knew that place very well. They didn\'t need a map or guidance, didn\'t even think about walking around aimlessly and looking for these protective arrays.
The moment they entered the underground city, they knew exactly where to look. And all that made their presence unfruitful, as they were all looking in the wrong directions.
William was busy building his monstrous weapons and controlling them to build arrays around pyramids. As he guessed it, trying to cover up all the pyramids proved to be a very long and tedious task.
After he finished building up twenty of his monstrous weapons, he had to stop. First he exhausted part of the necessary materials to build the weapons. And controlling this number to lay down arrays while building more weapons was placing a huge pressure over him.
"I should stop it here," he looked around, covering up the area his monstrous weapons worked at, "even after all this time, I doubt I covered even ten percent of this place… Who is the crazy one who built this portal here?"
He had to drop what he was doing. This wasn\'t going to work, and so he started to adopt another approach.
"At least fifty percent of the pyramids should be repaired and supported with my arrays, this way the portal will be fixed…" he knew this was going to work, and he\'d have to do less work.
"But… If I will do it this way, it\'s better to do it on a grand scheme…" William said to himself, as he thought about using the little arrays to form a grand formation.
"Trying to do a spirit power absorption formation won\'t work… For a reason, spirit power here is quite limited…" he knew the spirit power in this place was of a higher grade, but it felt like the pyramids couldn\'t absorb it properly.
And that made him think about doing something different. "A complex formation, one that\'s built over the spirit absorption concept to concentrate and purify the spirit power in the area… Whatever the source of this high grade spirit power is, my formation will suck spirit power from it like a whale."
Willim loved this idea, but there was something he had to do first. He needed to scout the entire area, so he\'d get a rough sketch in his mind about the entire area.
"I spent many days making my weapons, what\'s the problem in adding few more days as well?" he harrumphed, and then started to work on this goal.
He moved around, memorising the areas he visited, as he expected, he took three days to complete moving around the area. And that was incredible as his speed now was like the speed of an arrow.
"It\'s indeed quite huge," William muttered, before taking in a deep breath, "this can be done using the combined three big formations… It won\'t take much time, and its effect will be grandiose…"
This formation was like building three formations on top of each other. This might seem complicated, but it wasn\'t that much considering he\'d built it using the same array.
He just needed to draw the general design, then everything would roll out nicely later on.
Once decided, the first thing he did was to draw the general design of the grand formation. Then he started to mark the key points of each of the three formations, and let his boys handle making them.
