A separate Spirit Bond was used to connect him and Count Black.
"I'm going up now." With that, Angor nodded to Count Black. Next, he stomped on the ground and slowly rose into the air using the perfect amount of wind energy provided by Speedy.
Soon, he arrived at the top of the underground church.
Although the church was underground, the top of the church continued to have the steeple of a regular church. Furthermore, it had three steeples, two small arches and one large one. On one of the smaller spires, there was a statue of a goddess hanging upside down. It was the filth accumulated by the rune card "Goddess' Purification" over the years.
Angor glanced at it and quickly looked away.
Judging from the energy beam projected by the rune, he assumed that the rune was connected to the large spires. That should be where the runes were most concentrated.
When he reached the top of the spire, he didn't talk to Dark Count right away. Instead, he looked around.
The large spire was the same as the small spire. They were both shaped like cones and did not have distinct edges and corners.
They were all white. Even after so many years, there was not a single trace of filth on them.
The surface of the spires was smooth and warm. Angor quickly found out that they were made of a type of Starry Stone.
Starry Stone was one of the major types of supernatural materials. Just like Demonblood Ores, it also had different sub-types. There was also a huge difference between the subtypes. However, no matter how different it was, the Rainbow Star Stone was just an ordinary transcendent stone material, unlike the Demon Blood Ore. The difference between the Demon Blood Ore that was stained with the blood of gods and the Demon Blood Ore that was stained with the blood of imps was like a natural chasm.
As for why this was the case, the reason was very simple. Although the Rainbow Star Stone was an extraordinary stone, its use was very simple, and it was easy to color.
After being polished, Starry Stone looked like porcelain, which made it easy to paint. As long as it was maintained well, it could retain its color for more than ten thousand years, which was why it was often used on murals.
For this reason, the quality of a particular Starry Stone depended on its color and how long it could retain its color.
Since it was made of Rainbow Star Stone, it also explained one thing. The spires in the past were definitely not as dull as they were now. There must be some religious murals with rich colors. But too much time had passed, and the Starry Stone could no longer maintain its color.
It was both a pity and a good thing for Angor.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see what the murals looked like. The murals of all religions had their own meanings. This Mirror Demon God was a completely foreign sect, even the Black Earl had never heard of it. If there were murals left behind, he might be able to get a glimpse of it. After all, an unknown Godfiend and an unknown sect meant that there might be unknown dangers.
The good news was that the Rainbow Star Stone was an ordinary Extraordinary stone. Although it could be used to carve mageweaths, the mageweaths would not be too complicated.
Once the mageweath was too complicated, just the guidance of energy would be enough to cause the Starlight Stone to explode.
Even if there was a flaw in a simple mageweath, it wouldn't be too difficult to repair it.
With that in mind, he looked back at Dankros.
Dangros was standing on Angor's shoulder, using his ring and middle fingers as legs. His little and index fingers were rubbing each other quickly. His expression on his palms was serious.
There was an inexplicable sense of solemnity.
"May I?" Angor asked in a soft voice.
Without any hesitation, Dan Gross answered firmly, "Yes."
Angor smiled and patted Dankros' wrist. "Don't be so nervous. There might not be any accidents. Even if there is an accident, just do as I say, just like how you cooperated with me before. "
It wasn't the first time Angor worked with Dankros. However, this was the first time they were going to do something like "racing against time", which required great teamwork.
Angor didn't give Dankros too much pressure. However, Dankros seemed to have sensed the importance of the task, so he was even more nervous than usual. Angor's words didn't calm him down.
It was the first time Angor saw Dankros in such a serious state.
Angor considered for a moment and decided not to tell Dankros to relax. Maybe Dankros could perform better in such a state.
Besides, Angor wasn't going to put all his hope on Dankros. Anything that was left to others to decide, even if it was someone extremely close to you, could be subject to change.
If Dankros could cooperate, Angor would relieve some of his pressure. However, if Dankros made a mistake, Angor would take the blame himself. With his super brain activated, Angor should be able to control four or five Hands of Spell at the same time without too much trouble.
After making sure there were no mistakes, Angor spoke to Black Earl through the Spirit Bond, "Sir, I'm ready to activate the main rune."
"Alright. I'll inject mana at a normal speed. Do you need me to calculate how long you need to reach the top?"
"No need." Angor had memorized all kinds of energy formulas. With his current calculation ability, it wouldn't take him much time to figure out the answer.
"Alright. I'll activate the main rune in three seconds."
This wasn't just a private conversation between Angor and Black Earl. He was telling everyone about it.
Even if Dorcas' mouth was already blessed, there was no telling what would happen after the rune was activated. It was better to be cautious. If something really happened, even if they didn't care about the lives of ordinary people, they still had to pay attention to the Traveling Merchants.
Everyone, except Dorcas, began to get serious.
The activation of the main rune didn't have any special effects. The only thing visible to the naked eye was the faint glow of the table.
This was the result of energy flowing through the rune.
"Activation, energy reaction …" Angor calculated the time he needed to activate the main rune in his mind.
"Here it is. The energy pillar recoil!" Angor stared at the energy pillar filled with rune energy that rose from the ground to the sky.
The energy pillar reached the top in an instant and melted into the top of the spire.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.
At the fifth second, a bright light burst out from the top of the pillar. A large number of light beams began to spread from the center.
These gradually spreading rays of light were drawing glowing lines on the Rainbow Star Stone.
Without a doubt, they were runes!
"The hidden runes are really here!" Dorcas, who was always slacking off, couldn't help but stare at the top of the spire closely.
The light was spreading slowly and smoothly, which was normal for runes that hadn't been activated for a long time. Also, Count Black was intentionally controlling the rune to give Angor more time to deal with any unexpected changes.
After ten thousand years, the rune finally shined again. Even if it was just a simple rune, it still made everyone excited.
The smooth curves, beautiful rune edges, and more and more star-like energy nodes made the rune look like a sleeping lady who was elegantly relaxing her tiredness after a long slumber.
However, just as everyone was getting excited, the sleeping "lady" suddenly yawned again.
The first broken part of the rune appeared.
Everyone thought that the rune might go wrong after a long time, but under Angor's careful guidance, they gradually forgot about this possibility.
But now, something really did go wrong.
Not only Dorcas, but even Kael could see where the problem lay. With a worried expression, he asked Dorcas, "W-what should we do?"
"How am I supposed to know?" Dorcas was also surprised.
"Didn't you say it won't go wrong?"
"I'll say it again. I'm not a Prophet. It's normal for my intuition to go wrong!" Dorcas said seriously while looking at the broken rune above his head.
He hoped that the broken rune wouldn't affect the main body of the rune. Some magic arrays could still work even if the rune was broken. As long as the main body wasn't damaged, the effect would only be a little worse.
However, Dorcas' wish did not come true. After the first broken rune appeared, the other runes that were slowly spreading out also began to dim.
The second broken rune appeared.
Not long after, the third broken mageweath and the second mageweath appeared.
Three broken runes in a row, and more runes appeared at the same time. This could affect the main body of the magic array.
"Did we fail this time?" Dorcas muttered to himself and looked at Count Black.
Count Black's nose didn't move at all. The air around them was calm, and the mana output didn't seem to have changed either.
It was as if Count Black didn't notice the broken runes above his head.
This was obviously impossible.
Dorcas suddenly had an idea. "Maybe my intuition wasn't wrong? There's still a chance?"
Otherwise, Count Black wouldn't be so calm.
As Dorcas thought about it, Kael exclaimed in surprise, "Mister Hyperdimension is moving, and his elemental companion is with him!"
Dorcas looked up and saw Angor moving toward the first broken rune just as Kael told him to.
As soon as he reached the first broken rune, Angor quickly took out a half-finished array disk from his bracelet. He took out an engraving pen and asked Dankros to control the temperature so that the disk would slowly melt into the original Starlight Stone.
In less than two seconds, the first broken mageweath was "patched".
It looked like a "patched", but it worked perfectly. Count Black's mana went through the "patched" rune and entered the rune passage below.
After patching the first broken rune, Angor and Count Black discussed the speed of mana transfer while moving toward the second and third broken runes.
In the eyes of others, these two broken mageweaths were very dangerous, because if they stuck together, they could affect the main path of the Magic Array.
But for Angor, these two broken runes saved him a lot of trouble.
As long as he took out a slightly larger external array disc, he would be able to cover two broken mageweaths at once.
Just like before, Angor and Dankros worked together and quickly finished patching the rune.
However, it wasn't over yet. More runes began to show broken runes.
The "bright starry sky" in everyone's eyes dimmed by at least half.
It was almost certain that the magic array would fail, but Angor kept patching the runes until they regained their brightness.
Everyone was shocked by Angor's performance.
Even Count Black was a little surprised. He thought there would only be one or two broken runes at most, and that Angor would have a hard time fixing them, but there was still a chance.
He didn't think he would underestimate the power of time.
In just a short time, more than a dozen broken runes appeared.
But that was not the end of it. Dark Earl thought that Angor would not be able to fix it easily. Since he was in a hurry, he had to do it in the middle of activating it.
But Angor worked so fast that he didn't think Angor could finish the runes so quickly and steadily.
It looked like Angor was working together with Dankros, but it was actually Dankros who was chasing after Angor. Dankros' refining speed was not as fast as Angor's.
"I underestimated him again," Count Black muttered. The Black Earl thought to himself. With such amazing skills, it was no wonder that Rhine protected him so well.
Angor's incredible performance brought about incredible results.
The dim stars in the sky began to light up again.
More beams of light were spreading in all directions. A giant magic array floating on top of the sky began to take shape in front of everyone's eyes.
"They were even able to salvage the situation …" Kael was stunned. Was this the strength of the R&D department?
Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.
Dorcas wasn't any better than Kael. His mouth was wide open as well.
But in his heart, he was thinking about something else.
He was going to rely on Angor!
Thigh … Oh no, friend! They would definitely become the best of friends!
…
When the magic array was fully formed, Angor wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at Dankros with a smile.
Compared to fixing the magic array, Angor was more glad that Dankros didn't screw up.
Dankros had been trying to catch up with Angor since the beginning. Angor even slowed down to match Dankros' speed.
But that didn't change Angor's opinion of Dankros.
Dankros was only a fire fairy after all. It wasn't fully mature yet. The fact that it was able to follow him and reach this step without making any mistakes from beginning to end showed that it had great potential.
Back when Angor was learning Thaw, he would accidentally melt the runes around him. But Dankros did not do anything to the runes around him. Dankros' control was not weaker than fire.
"You did well. No, very well!" Angor couldn't help but give Dankros a high five.
It looked like Angor slapped Dankros' face, but Dankros didn't mind at all. He was looking at Angor with more affection.
After praising Dankros, Angor didn't forget about his business.
Now that the magic array was formed, the next step was to fully activate it and see if there was a way into the underground maze.
