CHAPTER 39: CH 39

I immediately know the answer if I was moving in the right direction or wrong. Of course I am moving in the right direction as only because of that I am able to find this array.

I also got some idea on what happened with Cairda, it seems that while running, Tom entered this array and cairda followed him and it cause her to loose sight of her due to array influence.

From the name alone it suggests that it is a type of maze. I tried using appraisal skill on my surroundings since I am currently inside the array which case me feel weak.

[ Warning! Host has insufficient mana!

It is advised that host should try using mana stone to continue re-filling mana as system execute skill.]

’This motherfu***r system is trying to screw with me again.’ I thought as I sat on ground cross- legged and take out a mana stone and started absorbing mana from it.

It takes 25 mana for the array to be fully appraised.

[ Earth Maze Array.

Rank:- Mid level Tier-2 ( E- rank )

Am array which changes earth and trees postion in a fixed pattern, it causes a person to lost sense of direction. The main function of this array is to make a person run in a circle before throwing them out.

Map:- 500 SP ]

It is a maze type array of E- rank, it seems that while Cairda tried searching for Tom, she just make a few circle here before she was thrown out by the array.

As for that bastard Tom, he must entered inside the array and would have passed this array by chance, it may also be done with someone or something’s help.

It’s seems I don’t have time much time to waste. I immediately asked system for the map and watch how another huge amount of SP was deducted from my account.

It leave me with less than 3000 points, ’how fast time changes’ I thought. I was nearing 5000 SP this morning now now I don’t even have 3000 of them.

A new screen appeared in front of me, it just a rectangular shape screen with an irregular forest, it shows almost all the trees in the forest.

Suddenly, a path formed from my position which leads to the centre of the forest, my own location was indicated by a blue dot.

Not only system told me the path in which I have to move but there was also distance mentioned on the side.

[ Distance Remaining:- 30 Kms. ]

Considering the distance, I can reach the centre within an hour if I go all out burning all of my stamina. However, who know what’s waiting for me there, that’s why I decided I decided to run at an average pace.

Though it may take me about 1 hour to reach there, it is relatively safer option if I have to fight or run from there.

Once I made my mind, I started running in the direction shown by the map. Sometimes, its as straight as line while sometimes, there were curve and cuts even share than a geometry divider.

With some rests in between and running at an average pace, it took me about an hour and half to almost reached the centre.

But I stopped and hides in the bushes when I was about to reach the point, the two kilometre radius from the point indicated as centre in the system map made me stop.

It is because of what I saw in front of me, there was camps. A lot of of camps with different flags on the top of thema and in the centre is a big wooden wall blocking my vision.

There were about 20 camps meaning there were 20 different teams as represented by thier flags. Though there were many which I don’t recognise, there were some flags which I recognised at a single glance.

I saw flags of all six Kingdom in all those flags, that means there is something which even the royal families. Outside each camp, there are one or two persons standing and guarding the tents.

Almost all of those were at the 11th stage of body refinement. According to levels, they average around lvl 9 with some being higher and lower and these guys aren’t some big shot here but guards.

I immediately know it must be something good behind those wooden wall and there is a very high chance that Tom will get it, be it directly or indirectly.

’I can’t let it happen’, I thought not knowing how to do it. It is what I wish for to happen but I have no way of achieving what I wanted to achieve.

I take a deep breath to calm my self down and clear my mind and started thinking what to do so that I can cross the wooden wall since it is covered from all directions.

First of all, I need to find Tom. Is he still outside or has already crossed to the other side, if he is still outside then I can try following him and maybe I will be able to enter inside.

If not, then I need to find some another way to get the job done but I have no idea how to do it, even in shop there is nothing which can help me except some books but I don’t have time for them.

I also had the disguise technique but I still haven’t achieved novice level mastery in it. This is why I would prefer if I could find Tom and follow him.

However, if I am left with no choice. Then I can use my trump card I had saved for situations like this, Immortal Gacha Tickets.

Using ticket, I can get what I want the most at the moment but I don’t to resolve the issue like this. The capital is too big and there is a chance that the returns I will get may be end up as loss.

I suddenly remembered that I still can use mortal gacha with points, I haven’t done it using SP till now because I was short of SP and afraid of wasting time for nothing seeing that there is 40% chance of failure.

[ System Points : 2950 SP ]

After taking a breath and preparing myself, I opened mortal gacha tab. There is also immortal gacha but it just cost too much for the current me.

[ Gacha system :- Try your luck with The Unlimited Gacha!!!!

-Mortal’s Gacha :- 40% chance of failure, obtain anything from rank F to C depending upon luck. 1% Chance of JACKPOT!!!

Cost : 75 System Points. ]

Once I made my mind, I started burning my SP as I ordered system for 5 consecutive pull to see if I can get anything useful that can help me with my task.

[Ding! Failed. Better luck next time.]

[Ding! Congratulations host got a E- Rank Qi stone.( Click for more information.)]

[Ding! Congratulations host got a E- rank Qi spear weapon.( Click for more information.)]

[Ding! Failed. Better luck next time.]

[Ding! Congratulations host got a F-rank body tempering liquid.( Click for more information.)]

I saw all the rewards I got from the system gacha and signed. Though they weren’t bad, they aren’t that good either.

Except body tempering liquid, nothing is of intermediate use to me. That’s why, I could do nothing except trying it again.

[Ding! Congratulations host got a High F- rank mana recovering potion.( Click for more information.)]

[Ding! Failed. Better luck next time.]

[Ding! Failed. Better luck next time.]

[Ding! Congratulations host got a E- rank novice technique pill.( Click for more information.)]

[Ding! Failed. Better luck next time.]

This time, there were 3 failures but alex wasn’t discouraged as he immediately click on the pill he got from the system.

[Novice Technique Pill ( E- rank ) :- Immediately boost host understanding of any E- rank or lesser ranked Technique to novice level.

Can only be used for a single Technique.]

It is good stuff, I know it and also know that this can help me in doing what I wanted. This is if I don’t make any mistake.

I immediately take out the the disguise technique I recieved from Tom and used my appraisal skill on it to know about more the technique.

[ Peak Tier- 2 Unnamed Technique (E- rank) :- A technique created by unknown expert, it uses basic colors and temporary changing face muscles to mimic someone else appearance.]

I immediately rejoiced after reading it since with this technique, I will be able to change my appearance and enter the place but it isn’t my only ploblem. I still need someone face but I will figure out what to do with that, I think.

I immediately take out the pill from the system inventory and put it in my mouth my and started waiting for something to happen which soon did, some information was soon transferred to brain but I was able to handle it since it wasn’t much compared to before and only felt slightly dizzy.
