Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1126 - 301: Guild Benefits, Battle Formation Debut

...

The Battle Array Attribute Atlas in the list contains a total of 328 entries.

Players who make up the battle formation activate it through the Life Souls they have embedded.

The Battle Array System, as seen by Dark Night Will Come, is like an extension of the Star Vein System.

But the requirements are higher than those of the Star Vein.

Players that form the battle array are akin to "Life Souls"; the total Life Souls they carry must meet the requirements in the attribute atlas to activate corresponding attribute enhancements and special skills.

How to pair them must follow the atlas.

Without additional attribute enhancements, the battle formation is just a blank slate, with no effects other than attribute amplification.

Although the main battle formation has an attribute multiplication enhancement, the effects may not necessarily be better than fighting separately.

After all, a battle formation is like a prison, restricting the actions of all players inside.

In combat, some damage can be avoided with dodging, but in the battle array system, one must take hits collectively.

Upon initial understanding, he felt this newly launched system was very complex; currently, mainstream Star Vein setups have only ten Life Soul Slots.

But the battle array system starts with 100 Life Soul Slots.

Browsing the encyclopedia reveals that some battle array attribute activation requirements start at 10,000 identical Life Souls and require pairing with other types of Life Souls—it's practically a super Star Vein System.

This makes forming battle arrays more complex than arranging Star Veins.

Especially for attributes that require mixed type pairings.

For instance, he saw the "Formless Demon Country" attribute in the attribute atlas.

It requires pairing 39 types of Life Souls, each needing over a thousand.

Thus, the hallmark of the battle array system is the more players, the higher the strength.

Each additional player allows for an equally increased number of battle array slots corresponding to their Star Vein Slots.

For example, if a player has ten Star Vein Slots.

After joining a battle array, the array can add ten slots for embedding different types of Life Souls.

If a hundred thousand players form a battle array, all available array attributes in the atlas can be activated, eliminating any concern over reasonable slot usage.

Upon initial understanding, he could confirm that only part of the battle array system's content had been released.

Just like growth pets releasing new content periodically, there is a lot within the battle array system yet to be unlocked.

For example, battle arrays involving ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or a million players, among others.

The number of activatable array attributes in the atlas will inevitably increase in the future.

This is a brand-new gameplay that gradually increases strength as the player faction develops.

However, the actual combat effectiveness still requires testing.

Dark Night Will Come immediately became interested in this complex pairing gameplay.

Back then, the Star Vein pairing strategy was also released on the forum out of interest.

He started to match the first battle formation according to the attribute requirements on the atlas.

10 warriors, totaling 50 Star Vein Slots, he first chose the Rakshasa Fury attribute, embedding Gang Qi, Ink Flame, and Power Barbarian Axe Life Souls for each warrior.

Consuming 30 slots in total.

The remaining 20 slots, he embedded the "Demon Flame" attribute, consuming 18 slots to embed Ink Flame + Roaring Soul Life Souls.

With the extra two slots unable to form a battle array attribute, he opted for the Rock Shield Life Soul with higher growth attribute values, enhancing attribute value strength.

After completing the pairing, he mentally tapped "Confirm."

Instantly the interface dissipated, and a robust roar exploded by his ear:

"Obey the general's command, Asura Formation, initiate!"

Looking up, ten Black Armor Warriors arrayed in front of the platform suddenly stepped forward.

In the ten-person squad, the leader's burly figure suddenly raised his right arm, a battle array imprint rising in his palm.

With a single foot stomp, the ground's blue bricks cracked, an intricate Red Gold Spirit Map emerged from beneath, spreading.

The rapidly crossing spiritual patterns on the ground formed the Asura Battle Array Map, with the center as a node, divided into seven layers in the outer circle, totaling 98 star positions (a minimum of 10 people can form an array).

"Array!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The other nine Black Armor Warriors burst upward, their iron boots precisely stepping onto the star positions in the innermost circle of the array.

Each landing person ignited a column of blood flames on the corresponding star position.

When the last warrior took position, the entire array suddenly rotated upwards three inches, nine blood lines shooting from star positions, connecting ten people into a menacing Asura constellation.

Upon activation, the array map shattered, transforming into scattered starlight floating in the air.

The Qi-Blood within the Black Armor Warriors emitted a dragon-like resonance, red steam rising from their bodies.

These steams interweaved into a net in the air, reaching a state of connecting each other's Qi-Blood, forcibly synchronizing the heartbeats of ten people thereafter.

The battle array formed.

Boom!

Ten streams of blood energy shot skywards from their tops of the skulls, intertwining in the air into a scarlet hurricane.

The Rakshasa Fury attribute activated first.

At the center of the expanding Qi-Blood ripples, a phantom of a eight-armed Rakshasa slowly stood up, enveloping the ten Black Armor Warriors below.

When fully formed, the Rakshasa phantom roared skywards, its sound waves transformed into visible scarlet ring ripples, sweeping across the Martial Arts Arena.

The ground's crack patterns continuously spread.

The second battle array attribute "Demon Flame" activated immediately afterwards.

Black flames spewed from the bodies of the ten Black Armor Warriors, entwining around the body of the Rakshasa phantom like living entities.

The scarlet Rakshasa phantom was instantly ignited by Ink Flames, transforming into a Ink-colored Fire Demon Body, its attacks carrying the Power of Ink Flames.

Once fully synchronized, the ten Black Armor Warriors simultaneously punched the ground, the Rakshasa phantom's eight arms following suit.

Knock!

With the battle array as the epicenter, a violent ripple of intertwined ink and scarlet color stormed outward.

Where it passed, the earth cracked, and the torn battle flags on the arena walls were ignited in the fierce wind, turning into ashes.
