While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System
Chapter 321 - Array MasterAdam burst towards the slender, goblin that was wearing black, silk robes with his daggers in hand, using a variant of the Dagger Jolt Skill that didn't require any Internal Energy, but was still similarly powerful.
He couldn't sense the Mage Goblin King using its energy and although his spiritual sense was being dampened, he was still sure that the goblin before him wasn't using any energy.
It also didn't seem to have a powerful or capable body, so Adam's logic told him that he would be able to take down the beast easily in a single attack, but yet his instincts were telling him that it wouldn't be that easy.
As his daggers neared the neck of the goblin, which he was aiming for, wanting to take down the beast in a single attack and not prolong their battle, he suddenly felt them strike a solid surface.
However, there was nothing in front of him and it seemed that he had struck some sort of invisible barrier.
Staying calm, Adam put away his daggers for a moment and quickly placed his hands against the barrier and tested whether the barrier was a wall, or a malleable barrier that surrounded the Mage Goblin King.
If it was merely a wall, Adam would find a way to get around it and deal with it, but a barrier that surrounded and coated the goblin would be difficult and annoying to deal with, especially with his Internal Energy being dampened along with his spiritual sense.
The Mage Goblin King hadn't moved despite Adam's attack and he felt that the smart goblin's actions were unusual, but he still went for the attack, not wanting to miss out on such an opportunity.
Jumping back and taking his daggers back out of the inventory, Adam was relieved to find that the barrier was a wall and didn't surround the Mage Goblin King, but at the same time was also curious and confused to how it worked.
The only way that Adam could think of the Mage Goblin king forming the barrier was by somehow being able to solidify Internal Energy, as there was no other thing that could be clear and able to block Adam's dagger attack without even a scratch.
The Mage Goblin King didn't seem to have any item that was forming the barrier and it would also be extremely difficult to sustain such a large barrier using Internal Energy, especially since it wasn't in contact with the beast.
Adam was yet to learn how to solidify his energy, which even most Advanced Cultivators are unable to do, but even then, one would need to supply whatever they formed using their energy a constant stream of energy.
Some extremely skilled cultivators were able to form weapons and shields using their Internal Energy and were able to solidify it using their great control and mastery over the use of Internal Energy, but they would need to be in contact with what they were forming.
It didn't make sense for the Mage Goblin King to be able to sustain a barrier that wasn't in contact with it, unless it was somehow formed by some sort of array or rune.
If the beast was in contact with the rune or in control of the array, by merely supplying it waves of energy and controlling it with its mind, the Mage Goblin King might have been able to form the barrier at will.
That would also explain how the beast was able to dampen and disturb Adam's spiritual sense and Internal Energy, as only an array would be able to have such large scale and ranged effects.
However, if Adam's theory was true, that the Mage Goblin King was an array master that was very skilled in the use of arrays, that completely changed how Adam was planning to fight against it.
Adam only expected the Mage Goblin King to be able to fire different types of ranged attacks that were more powerful than that of its subordinates and maybe it would be able to form the attacks quicker, but he had never expected it to be an Array Master.
Arrays could have infinite functions and as long as the Array Master that formed them and was in control of them had great control and large energy reserves, if one was in the range of their arrays, it would be extremely difficult to take them down.
Adam's mind was racing and trying to think about what other arrays the Mage Goblin King might have and what their range could be, but the Mage Goblin King wasn't even giving him a second to think.
For it to be controlling and sustaining multiple arrays, it was either extremely capable or confident that it could take down Adam quickly.
Adam gauging that knew that either way, it would be a difficult battle, but instead of feeling afraid or apprehensive, he was excited and curious to see what the Mage Goblin King was capable of and was confident that he would come out on top no matter what.
The Mage Goblin King's mind was split, controlling multiple arrays at once, but it was still managing while maintaining a confident expression as it began to move its fingers, which seemed to assist it in controlling the arrays.
Physical movement in the direction of a ranged Internal Energy attack was very useful in forming, controlling and aiming the attack, and Adam assumed that it was a similar thing when it came to controlling arrays.
His mind was racing, but he was still paying attention as he was suddenly launched back by a gust of wind that came out of nowhere.
Just like in his battle against the Beast Goblin King, Adam was launched flying through the wall of the top of the tower and sent falling towards the ground, but the difference this time was that Adam's Internal Energy was being dampened.
Falling rapidly from a few dozen metres in the air, Adam was trying his best to control and circulate his Internal Energy to be able to use his Burst Movement Skill and break his fall, but it felt like he was merely beating a dead horse.
