Chapter 445: Array
445 Array
It was only a blink of eyes where Alex found himself back into the nostalgic room where he used to come to the upper world.
He remembered that he never observed the world as well as this array carefully as he was rus.h.i.+ng back then. Recalling that, Alex looked through the dark room with his eyes while walking outside of the array.
It was merely a dark room where the array was. He did not find a single thing outside the box, so he tried to use his Spirit Eyes to check.
He was surprised to see that the array was more than he could see. The teleportation array that he could see was only a glimpse of the real array. If he activated the teleportation array, the energy would move toward the array below it.
It was a gigantic array that was spanning more than one kilometer on the ground.
"How many symbols are actually in this array?" Alex was startled.
"One thousand..."
"Ten thousand…"
"A hundred thousand…"
"Wait, this is over one million Symbols?" Alex gasped as he could not imagine that these many symbols were buried right below the ground. Judging from the floors" size, one kilometer beneath the ground, and there was no way for others to discover this.
"!!!" What made him shocked was the fact that this array had over a million symbols. The peak of rank 5 Array was only around five thousand symbols, while peak rank 6 array was around ten thousand.
Unlike them, a rank 7 Array had a hundred thousand, whereas the rank 8 array had a million. But this array had more than a million.
Alex finally realized that this was truly the array made by dungeon G.o.d, a true G.o.d. After all, above rank 8 Array, which equals to Martial Saint in terms of cultivation, it was called Divine Array.
However, Alex tried to see the symbols one by one, but surprisingly, he did not know many symbols out there. He wanted to learn about this array as he thought his understanding of s.p.a.ce Element would increase, but he did not have time. So, he just made a miniature of the array that had all the symbols of this giant array.
It took him almost a day just to copy all of these symbols. And he also found that the array was linking to above the ground, and when he tried to look where it ended, it was on the mysterious rooms.
All the mysterious rooms that could not be opened. He had seen all of these rooms back on his first date with Alicia, and to think all of them were connected to this, it baffled him.
After creating the miniature, Alex started making his way toward the surface. The last boss, a real Martial Master monster, was a savage boar, but it immediately ran away with just a glare from him.
Even though Alex"s cultivation and soul was sealed within the special realm, his ferocity and Intent were not. With just a single glance, the monsters in this place instinctively ran away. There were some of them that tried to attack him, but they were butchered before even coming close to him by his Twin Sharp Domain.
He slowly made his way toward the surface, and he somehow wanted to go up to see the mysterious rooms. He might need to cover his face a bit, so he put his mask on and wore a black cloak.
As he expected, the situation was not changed inside the lower floors. The gold rank hunters were low in number, and he practically did not see anyone higher than that. He continued to the higher floor and stopped at the first floor.
He then made a portal to go to the Blue layered realm, which he called s.p.a.ce Realm. He wanted to bypa.s.s all the people since he would need some kind of pa.s.s to go to the dungeon body on the surface.
He sneaked away from the guards that were guarding the dungeon and made his way toward the mysterious rooms.
He came out of the portal since he did not see anyone and skimmed the doors with his Spirit Eyes. It turned out that the rooms inside were also filled with arrays.
The main teleportation array was on the bottom, while these arrays were about coordinates of teleportations, power restrictions, and such.
This tower had ten floors, so seeing these many rooms, Alex could conclude that every floor had its own specific realm. He purposely went to the fifth floor, away from the crowd on the bottom or the top of the dungeon. Since the room was practically the same, he just checked one of the rooms.
He came to the door and observed it. The door was just like your wooden door, but Alex knew it had been reinforced by arrays, so people could not destroy it. He also found the keyhole, which made the people think there was a key for the room.
However, for him, who was an Array Master with knowledge surpa.s.sing his peers, he knew how to open it.
He took a deep breath before pouring a few symbols that needed to lock the door, and before long, he could finally open it.
He glanced left and right to make sure no one noticed this. It would be good if he could use his domain to check, but it would startle people as they should be able to see it.
The moment he came inside the room, he was astonished.
"Realm Restriction Array… this is one of the arrays that was used in Zwaka"s place. However, for this array, it is restricted only for Foundation Stage 5 monsters to be able to cross the array." He observed one of the arrays he found inside the room.
"This one is a Gathering Array… But not from Spirit Stones, but from the monsters… It sucks away every energy from Monster"s flesh, bones, and even a portion of their core. This grants the entire dungeon system self sustain for thousands of years." Alex murmured.
All of these arrays were fascinating. He immediately recorded all the things he needed to record. After all, even in the knowledge he got, many things were not recorded. This was very special for him as both of them had a unique s.p.a.ce Element.
"There is also one array that reinforced the floor and wall of this dungeon and also this pressurization array. This is why even below one kilometer underground, the pressure was still the same. All of these are truly fascinating… how sad I can"t stay here and learn all of these since I have more important things."
He continued to observe the arrays one by one, and unknowingly he had spent a few hours inside this room. He needed to warp all of this soon and came out. After checking for one last time, Alex finally came out of the room.
It was at this time, he suddenly heard a cute voice from his right.
"Uncle, how can you open the door?" It was coming from a little girl that seemed to be one or two years old. She had nostalgic purple hair, laying smoothly on her shoulder. The dimple on her face made her look cuter. She wore a long blue dress with a big b.u.t.terfly ribbon on top of her head. "Mother said these doors couldn"t be opened."
"Sh*t." Alex cursed inwardly. Because of this array, he was too excited and lowered his guard. He did not check the outside before going out of this room. In fact, he was a bit underestimating the world since he was too powerful for this world.
He was also accustomed to killing in the upper world. In the upper world, he could not lower his guard down unless he was in his house to make sure he was not targeted by the people. And with this little girl who did not have any bad intention, she went unnoticed. He looked at the little girl that was around ten meters away from him, wondering what he should do with this.
Did he need to kill a little kid like this? He shook his head and tried to see another option. However, when he was thinking, he sensed another woman that was coming toward him. He thought it must be this little girl"s relative.
He needed to kidnap this little girl first before tricking her so she would forget about this. But that thought suddenly vanished after he saw the woman.
She had long beautiful purple hair, reaching her waist. Purple eyes that socketed beautifully. Good seducing body. A beautiful face that left a mark in one"s heart. She wore a white flowery dress that enchanted her appearance.
"Alexa." The woman called the little girl"s name with a sweet soothing sound.
"Mother!" The little girl turned back and ran toward the woman while saying, "You said that these doors couldn"t be opened, but I saw the uncle over there just come out of the room."
The woman was startled when she heard that. She looked at the mysterious man and immediately hugged her little daughter, trying to protect her. She released her killing intent and said, "Who are you?"
Even though she did not have a weapon or her armors, she was planning to go all out with this man.
Alex only smiled behind his mask. He was surprised that he saw a Foundation Stage 7 person, AKA rank 7. He slowly opened his hood and put off his mask, revealing the golden hair as well as his handsome face.
Yet, the moment they saw his face, the little girl was astonished and said, "Uncle, you are very handsome… better than my father."
Meanwhile, the woman froze as she never thought she could see this face again. The one that was supposed to have gone but still etched inside their head.
"It"s been a while, Sister Lea." The man smiled and said. It turned out that the woman was the first princess of the Acacia Kingdom, Alicia"s oldest sister, Lea.
"Alex...ander… Sirius." She uttered the man"s name. "Ho… how…"
"For many reasons, I have come back to this place for a while." He smiled.
"Mother? You know uncle?" Alexa looked at her mother with her innocent face.
"Ah…" Lea did not know what to do. She looked at Alexa"s cute face and said, "He… he is your uncle…"
"?!" She tilted her head, confused.
Alex walked toward her slowly while glancing at the little girl on her embrace. "Who is this little girl? She calls you mother, is she your child?"
"Little girl? Uncle, you are rude. I have a name too." She pouted. "My name is Alexa Van Rizertia. Mother said my name is born from my uncle, Alexander Sirius, and my aunt, Alicia Van Rizertia."
"Is that so? Then, I apologize." He simply smiled and patted the little girl"s head.
"Not long after you left, I also married and blessed with her. Because I was jealous of you two back then, I put both of your names to her." Lea said, embarra.s.sed. She then said, "But that"s not important. What are you doing here? Aren"t you supposed to be in-"
Alex shook his head. "I am just visiting here for a few days. Well, I also have letters from Alicia and Firia for families, so I will go there. How about you? Do you have any business here? Oh right, who is your husband? I am a bit curious."
"No. I am here just to take her sightseeing all of your experience, including this place, as it is the place for your first date with Alicia." Lea shook her head. "As for my husband… He is my deputy in the garrison, and we have known each other from the academy. He is a commoner too, so he needs to raise his n.o.ble ranks as well as his strength. Father is training him back home."
"I see." Alex nodded.
Suddenly, Alexa pinched Lea"s cheek and pouted. "Mother, don"t ignore Alexa. You haven"t told me about this uncle."
"He…"
