Chapter 1593: Experimenting with Cube
Sam stayed for two more days within the estate before he decided to leave.
"So, what are you going to do? Rebuild the league?"
Sam asked the old man.
"Yes, I need to make this reach its former glory. Then I will hand it over to Jack before I retire into the Grey circle."
"Will Jack really take this though?"
"That is your job to let him take this."
"I won"t have any objections of course. But you do know that Jack wouldn"t just shift to this place right? I think he will ask to merge the league with the Dusk organization. Are you sure you want to do that?"
"Well, two out of three founders pa.s.sed their legacy to you and Jack. Maybe it is destined that the legacy is going to be pa.s.sed to two friends like this.
If you really think that it will help, just merge the organization. I am pretty sure even if the operational structure changes because of that, you will at least uphold what our goal is."
"Thank you for your trust."
Sam bowed to him slightly, before he and the rest of the powerhouses left the league. They went back to the Gaja clan.
"So, how did the trip go?"
Giyon and Grivon once again came directly to him with questions.
"It went well. I got a lot of information that I will need in the near future and I also gained something really cool."
"What is that? Show us."
Grivon asked with excitement.
"For starters, I got better at controlling my shadow elemental energy. I can now manipulate my own shadow really well."
Sam said as he activated shadow elemental fusion once again and manipulated his shadow around a bit.
"Is that it?" Grivon was underwhelmed by that performance and appeared disappointed.
"Not really, there is a lot more, but it will take some time for me to show it to you. So, you have to wait.
Anyway, how far has the construction come? Is everything going well?"
Sam successfully diverted the topic.
For the next week, he once again holed up in the lab. But this time, instead of just working on plans to deal with these subordinates of the Mountain Master, he also started digesting the research shadow monarch gave him.
As the Demon soul swordsman said, Sam was really impressed by the swordplay, but the research intrigued him even more. Even though it is mostly related to the shadow element, there are some interesting concepts.
The first concept that interested Sam is how the lump stayed in the cube and acted as this perpetual energy source as it can absorb energy from outside.
The reason it was so interesting is that Sam has used this concept himself before. It was similar what he used when creating a light chamber. The souls are merged with light elements and then became light itself.
But instead of light element, here the shadow energy was used and it was merged with the souls.
The soul fragment continuously attracted the energy and it then sent it to the cube.
Sam thought, he was the only one that thought of this weird method, but now that he saw it, he was surprised and excited.
He also thought of using this method with different elements, but he never got the chance to test it out. Now that he learned shadow element is also successful, it will save him a lot of time.
The second concept that intrigued him is the cube itself.
The cube is a very unique design concept for inscriptions and formations. He has seen many kinds of formation plates and formation carriers until now. In fact, even he made a lot of formations that are very unconventional and inscribed them in many unconventional means in unconventional places.
But this cube concept is on a whole other level.
It is a very intricate and detailed formation plan and the variants that Prakth even thought of are mindblowing.
Sam looked through them and wanted to test each one of them himself. He started with the most basic concept behind these cubes.
Each section of the cube is inscribed with a set of runes and whenever the cube sections are moved, they are obviously going to be a part of a new set of patterns. If these new sets of patterns form an inscription, then it could be activated from the energy within the cube.
And if all six faces that are constantly dynamic can have inscriptions, they can perform six things at the same time. And if all six of these inscriptions are six inscribed formations, then they could be a complex formations.
They could be attack inscriptions and they can land six attacks at the same time.
Sam wanted to test this a bit and started making a basic 3X3 cube.
Even though he is going for the simplest patterns, it is hard to figure out complex patterns like these. All the six faces have to be linked and when they are changed, even the changing patterns have to be linked.
And in both cases, they should be easy to make with the same set of sections. This is going to be difficult.
So, Sam decided that he would only use two functions for this cube. He picked a basic fireball inscription as well as a basic incineration technique inscription that just spews a jet of flames.
Both of them are very similar in nature and even the inscriptions are not that different. He started creating a bunch of inscription drawings on the scroll first to see if he can really manage to merge them both.
There is a small framework that Prakth left behind on how to calculate and differentiate the runic inscriptions on the sections and arrange them.
He followed the framework step by step and started inscribing the pattern on the cube.
This time, he didn"t even want to make it very complicated.
First, he just inscribed the patterns and shuffled the cube a bit before all of the patterns turned to be fireball inscriptions.
He put up a small liquid energy cell in the hollow section of the cube and it was enchanted with a spirit. As soon as he finished the patterns, he threw it into the air.
*BOOM*
An explosive sound came as six fireb.a.l.l.s were shot in six different directions.
He then took the cube again and started shuffling it until all four sides have the incineration patterns which also worked and then he started trying to have a few faces with the fireball pattern and the remaining with the incineration pattern.
This went pretty easily, but he had to take a lot of time to carefully understand and perform each step. Except for the long time it took, it is really not that complicated, because of the simplicity of the inscriptions he picked.
This cube is obviously useless now. Even acolyte stage cultivators in his school back at home can do better than this and doing so many calculations in his head and taking so much time for six fireb.a.l.l.s is idiotic.
Currently, he is doing this just to get used to this.
Sam, then started putting on a bit more complicated inscriptions.
He kept going on like that as he crafted a bunch of cubes and kept on experimenting. He stayed like that for a few more days, while overseeing the construction and after he was done with most of his work in city construction, he decided to go back to Desolate.
"Why are you leaving so early? You can stay for a while. The city"s construction is just getting to the interesting part. Don"t you want to see the testing of each feature we are implementing?
The formations, the attack systems, that would be really fun." Grivon asked.
"I am the one who designed them. Do you think I don"t know how they will function?" Sam retorted before taking out his dimensional drifter.
"I don"t know when we will meet again, good luck with your city and the progress. I already left behind a lot of blueprints for your development.
Grivon you got a clean slate on the Gaja clan. Build it up like a proper successor of the clan. I am really looking forward to the way you are going to grow up.
As for you Giyon. I want to see what kind of organization you will be establishing. So, at least for them, I will definitely come back."
"Why are you talking as if we are not going to meet again? It is not like you are leaving permanently. You are just going to deal with someone, aren"t you?" Giyon sneered.
"Well, my journey doesn"t stop after I defeat him. It is still a long way for me to stop and I don"t know if I would be able to meet you much.
This might just be a goodbye. So, I wanted to do it properly."
"I am sure you will come back. If anyone can destroy that Mountain master, then it would be you. Just come back after you are done there."
