432 431: Shrinking The Mountain of Metals

Runes, Formations, and Arrays.

There were many professions that one could learn. For example, one could become a blacksmith, one could become a cook, one could become a beast tamer, one could become a cook, and one could become a businessman.

Becoming a formation, array, or rune specialist was a profession most without a talent or affinity for runes would choose not to learn despite the benefits it had.

Unlike blacksmiths where one could try their hardest to learn by repeatedly forging weapons, learning runes, formations, and arrays was harder.

Corey had no idea if he had a natural affinity or talent for runes, but what he did know was that he had a cheat that could allow him to learn about runes with ease.

His Eyes of Omniscience allowed him to see runes, and his stars of consciousness made his mental capabilities extremely terrifying.

To Corey, regardless of whether he had a natural affinity for runes, it did not matter. The gift that was given to him by the Universe and the All-Father was all that mattered to Corey at the moment.

Another reason why his talent was extremely unfair to so many people was because of Chucky, the spirit of the Library of Records.

Chucky could create formations and arrays in advance for him, and since he had left a clone to interact with Chucky to not make him bored, Corey also learned about runes, formations, and arrays from Chucky.

The stone with runes which exchanged places with Selene was one of the already prepared formations Chucky had made. The metal slab he also gave Selene was also one of the formations Chucky had made.

'Creating this formation might take some time. Thirty minutes at most?... Hmm... Let's try and make it twenty.'

Corey twisted his neck to the side, and then he raised his two hands, and a second later, his fingers moved until they moved so fast that only the afterimages could be seen.

Corey's pure white eyes stayed wide open as he stared at the set of runes before him with immense focus.

To an average being that had no knowledge of runes or could not see runes, it would seem like Corey was just moving his hand at an extremely fast speed like a madman, but to those knowledgeable about runes and also those who could see runes, Corey's actions would leave an unreasonable amount of shock in their minds that they might even die because of it... almost.

To an average being that had no knowledge of runes or could not see runes, it would seem like Corey was just moving his hand at an extremely fast speed like a madman, but to those knowledgeable about runes and also those who could see runes, Corey's actions would leave an unreasonable amount of shock in their minds that they might even die because of it... almost.

Those who could see runes would be able to see Corey drawing a thousand runes per second with utmost perfection, and all these runes would combine to form a part of a formation that should not be done by a tier 2, but a tier 6 at least.

Not only was Corey using his extremely pure mana to fuel the formation, a feat that would drain the energy of an average tier 4, Corey was also manipulating the runes that dealt with space.

Just as he expected, he could see some precious metals and ores in the hole, but he was not really interested in them since the Mountain of Metals had better ones or had the metals and ores he could see in the hole.

Corey slowly lowered himself, and then he caught sight of Selene standing on a hexagon platform with a blank expression.

The metal slab filled with runes that he gave her was to protect her from the force, energy, and spatial manipulation that reduced the size and weight of the Mountain of Metals.

Since he already knew that Selene was going to be inside the mountain to obtain as many precious metals and ores as possible, he had subtly placed a hexagon barrier underneath her feet so that she wouldn't be caught by surprise and fall.

Corey landed in front of her, and although he was curious as to why she had such an expression, he didn't really care.

"Let's leave. I noticed a city in the distance. If we're able to find beasts or monsters we can use as mounts, it'll reduce how long we'll have to travel drastically."

Selene blinked, and then she shifted her gaze from Corey to the massive hole beneath them, then back to Corey.

Her mouth opened and closed, and when Corey saw this, he furrowed his brows slightly.

After thinking of how best to say what was on her mind, she finally spoke.

"You said you were going to take a long time to finish the array?"

Although these were not the words she wanted to say, she dared not spill out the countless 'curses', swearing, and 'abuses' she had rained on Corey in her mind.

Meanwhile, Corey raised his brows when he heard her words, "Didn't I take a long time? Seventeen minutes is quite a long time."

Selene's lips twitched, and she wisely chose to not give a response or else she wouldn't be able to control herself.

She turned and looked at the massive hole that had precious metals and ores. Her eyes flashed with desire.

"Can I please take some of the metals and ores over there? I wasn't able to take a lot of precious metals and ores."

'Since a certain freak finished creating three extremely complex formations in seventeen minutes!' She added in her mind.

Corey's eyes flashed in understanding, and then he chuckled softly, "You may."

Selene's eyes brightened, and she quickly jumped into the hole below them, her voice flowed into Corey's ears as she fell.

"Thank you, Master."
