NovelOnline"Break the array with another array?" Tatiana looked at Nash, puzzled. The concept was beyond her current knowledge.
Nash smiled and said, "Yes, we'll use an array to break the array. Passthe carving knife." Tatiana took out a carving knife and sstones.
"Do you have a smaller carving knife?" Nask asked. Tatiana rummaged through her backpack and pulled out a cute pencil case. She opened it to display a row of carving knives. "Pick one yourself!" Nash chose the smallest knife, where the blade was only as thick as a thumbtack. He then pulled out several thumb-sized white stones from a storage ring.
Tatiana gasped. "Spirit stones?" Her eyes widened in surprise. Carving array patterns on spirit stones could enhance the power of the array patterns significantly. These stones were exceedingly rare. Even with her family's long heritage in the art of array, they could scarcely produce a few.

"Huh? That might not work, though?" Tatiana waved her hand slightly, and the spirit stone in Nash's palm slowly levitated. It circled quickly twice and then settled back into Nash's hand.
"I really can control the spirit stone!" she exclaimed with excitement, realizing a new potential in her abilities.
Nash smiled. "Get the chair out. Do you wantto carve while standing?" Tatiana quickly pulled a folding chair from her backpack and set it on the ground. Nash sat down, and his eyes narrowed as he started to carve array patterns with skillful precision.
In 30 minutes, Nash carved 15 array patterns-three of the Conceal, Energy, Defend, Shield, and Earth Patterns.
Realizing his strategy, Tatiana smiled and said, "You plan to create a pathway through the array, right?" Nash nodded. "Exactly. Now, use your ability to control and set up the pathway using the stones. The order should be Conceal, Earth, Energy, Shield, Defend." Following Nash's instructions, Tatiana arranged the five spirit stones in the specified order. When the Conceal Pattern stone was placed into the array, there was no response from the Detect Pattern. This was the clever use of the Conceal Pattern as it could effectively counteract the Detect Pattern by shielding the array pattern.
However, if any other entities entered, they would still be detected.
Next were the Earth, Energy, Shield, and Defend Pattern stones. The four spirit stones lined up with the Conceal Pattern stone to form a straight line. As it did, a transparent wall slowly formed.
At that moment, the surrounding weeds began to twist violently, unleashing terrifying sword forms that attacked the transparent wall.
Tatiana quickly arranged another set of five spirit stones in a straight line on the other side. The remaining five stones were distributed in the middle. With the stones placed in three separate lines, the defensive array created allowed Nash and Tatiana to traverse the sword array with defenses on three sides. en.kikistories "The formation won't hold for long. We need to hurry," Nash said, grabbing Tatiana's hand and running.

Afterward, the two overcfive barriers and defeated six opponents, navigating through eight different arrays. Finally, they arrived at a dilapidated thatched hut situated at the center of the mountain's summit.
The hut seemed on the verge of collapse, yet Nash could distinctly feel spiritual energy emanating from it.
Tatiana, too, pulled out a scroll from her backpack She unrolled it, revealing a painting of a thatched hut identical to the one before them. "This is the place... So, this is it Malignant Mountain is indeed a secluded residence of my family's ancestors!" en.kikistories Tatiana exclaimed, her eyes reddening with emotion and her body trembling with excitement.
Nash felt a mix of emotions stirring within him. The ancestors of a family renowned for their mastery of arrays! No wonder the arrays here were extraordinarily powerful.
Without his knowledge of array patterns, he would never have managed to climb this mountain in his lifetime.
"Nash, you can take anything that's a part of my ancestors' belongings. I only want the Thousand Illusion Array Dise," Tatiana said while tugging at the hem of Nash's clothes and looking at him with pleading eyes. en.kikistories QUMS
