Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 617 - 473 Demon-Expelling Grand Array_2

The secret message, unknown to others, once again rang directly in Bai E’s mind, "So, shall we take you out after all? Morphie and I are among the rarest top talents in the city, and no matter how furious the city lord gets, it won’t affect us."

Barriers blocked everything, and apart from images, nothing else could be seen.

And just the children’s faces were completely obscured by Bai E’s back, making it impossible for even an expert in lip-reading to know what the people inside were actually saying.

Aglaya frowned with some hesitation.

On one hand, she hoped the two kids would act according to the instructions given before entering, which would definitely not cause any trouble.

The death of a so-called War God of the Military District in exchange for the life of the city lord’s son seemed quite a bargain.

But now... the strength of this Military District War God was outrageous.

Most importantly, it hadn’t been long since his rise from birth to prominence.

And his terrifying ascent during the fight against demons had happened right before her eyes.

The potential for the future was unimaginable.

It was the first time Aglaya felt that an individual’s strength could possibly overturn the world Order.

If there were truly no hope, she wouldn’t hesitate or struggle with the decision.

But these two kids had been saved by Bai E initially, and they seemed to share a deep bond at first; had it not been for her intervention, they might have maintained close contact to this day.

Now... if the two kids still remembered their initial bond and chose to help Bai E escape, she truly didn’t know whether to be happy or scared.

Of course, if they made that choice, it would definitely be bad news for the Arbitration Place...

As the organization fully responsible for this incident, they would be the primary entity directly accountable to the city lord.

Seeing Kiro Lan holding Weslin’s body motionless for a long while, Arnold grew anxious.

"What are you hesitating for? Have you not already captured the person? Hurry up and come out!"

The crisis within the castle was far from over, which was known to everyone.

The longer one stayed, the harder it would be to escape.

No one knew when the demonic presence inside would build up to a breaking point. If it exploded, with the kids’ current strength, it might not be enough to secure their escape.

"Hurry up and move!"

...

"Morphie and I joining forces can only send one person through the breach, and as the pathfinder, he must go first, but in the final moments, I can break away and return. I don’t know what you’ll choose, but if you truly want to save everything in this castle... this time, I’ll stand by you," Kiro Lan said, looking at Bai E with a gentle gaze, willing to sacrifice everything rather than see Bai E fight alone.

"Even if all the demons are slaughtered, it won’t work?" Bai E asked curiously, as this was his initial thought.

"It won’t work..." Kiro Lan shook his head slightly, "The demon’s aura has already filled this castle, and mere killing can’t purify it completely. Only the Demon-Expelling Grand Array, empowered with the Power of Laws, can eradicate the aura of desire from the foundations of the castle."

"Does the Formation have to be executed by you?" Bai E narrowed his eyes, spotting an opportunity in the details.

"In the entire Arbitration Place, fewer than five people have learned this Grand Array..." Kiro Lan shook his head, his gaze firm as he looked at Bai E, "And among those present, I am the only one."

Morphie stood behind Kiro Lan, his gaze complex as he stared at Kiro Lan’s back.

A feeling he had suppressed in his heart surged up again in an instant.

There were things Kiro Lan hadn’t said; only he knew how difficult it was to accomplish what seemed to be a simple statement.

The demons’ strength would keep increasing, and it was uncertain when the master of the black fog in the auction house would achieve unification. Moreover, Kiro Lan was alone in setting up the Grand Array, while dealing with the endless erosion of "desire" at this place, and the duration was unknown.

Most importantly, to successfully activate the Grand Array in the end, the required Spiritual Energy was beyond Kiro Lan’s current capacity.

Only after managing to advance to the third rank of Spiritual Energy would she stand a chance to succeed with great difficulty.

With such a decision, Kiro Lan was almost resolved to share fate with her superior.

Either succeed in breaking through and triggering the grand array or fall into the high-dimensional abyss with Bai E.

At this thought, Morphie couldn’t help but interrupt, "Kiro Lan, you know that even if you can successfully inscribe it, you won’t be able to activate the array! You need to advance to the third rank before your Spiritual Energy is sufficient to sustain the consumption of the grand array. Only you can inscribe and power the array, and there’s no way I can be of any help."

But if Kiro Lan really insisted... he could only accompany her to the end.

"Not necessarily," Bai E’s mouth curved into a slight smile, "Perhaps you can try to cast it now."

Learn a skill?

I’m all too good at that.

As for the consumption of Spiritual Energy?

Let’s see how much "mana" this so-called grand array can drain from me.

Seeing that confident smile reappear on Bai E’s face, as if controlling everything, the two children who had originally prepared for certain death once again saw the brilliant savior who had pulled them from despair.

Morphie clenched his teeth hard, shaking his head in an attempt to shake off the involuntary admiration rising in his heart.

"Let’s begin," Bai Chu tossed his longsword lightly, his tone somewhat cheery, "The next wave of demonic attacks will come soon, let’s act during this quiet period!"

Kiro Lan nodded vigorously, believing with all her heart, "Yes!"

"Go guard her," Bai E said to Morphie with a smile, his face solemn, "Don’t let her suffer any harm, I believe you can do it."

Feeling the trusting gaze of Bai E, Morphie’s mouth tightened slightly, with a hint of soreness in his eyes.

Yet stubbornly shaking his head, he followed Kiro Lan away, leaving only his voice trailing from afar, "Of course!"

The action finally beginning inside startled all the onlookers.

The two children who had been picked by Weslin did neither follow the original plan of sending him out nor did they send out the notably outstanding War God.

The unusual behavior left Aglaya, who was mentally prepared to make a choice between the two, somewhat confused.

But as Kiro Lan, who had almost run out of sight, began using Spiritual Energy to sketch something, Arnold, Aglaya, and the teacher of the two children were all momentarily stunned, realizing something.

"She’s inscribing the Demon-Expelling Grand Array!"

"She’s mastered this grand array?" Aglaya’s incredulous gaze turned to the children’s mentor.

The mentor wore a pained expression, "She has learned it, true... but that’s limited to inscribing. To activate it, her current level is far from enough. Unless..."

Arnold, impatient, promptly asked, "Unless what?"

"Unless she can break through her own limits in endless tempering and advance to become a third-rank Spiritual Energy wielder! Otherwise, the inscribed array will just be a soulless skeleton."

When inscribing the array, one must immerse their entire mind and spirit into it.

And since the goal is to purify the entire castle, during the inscribing process, one needs to continuously combat the sin and desires soaked into every inch of the castle walls with their willpower.

This process will forge the individual’s will to the fullest extent, and its effect on the cultivation of Spiritual Energy is also significant. If the inscribing is indeed successful, there might be a chance to break through with such tempering.

But that’s only if the inscription is successful.

If it fails, it’s doomed forever!

"...The sin and desires will instantly invade Kiro Lan’s body, and then it will be her, mutated into a demon, who becomes the greatest enemy of everyone inside!"

Of course... if that really happened, there would be no need to consider the consequences anymore.

Without Kiro Lan’s help, Morphie alone wouldn’t be able to break the bounds and leave.

Everyone in the castle would tumble into high-dimensional space, at which point it wouldn’t matter who the enemy is.

"How could they be so reckless!" Arnold slammed a hand against the wall beside him, causing stones to fly.
