The simplest way to deal with a three-dimensional magic pattern was actually to find one of its energy nodes, attach an array plate inscribed with energy guidance to that node, and pull off a sleight of hand beneath the heavens.
The core of this method was not cracking it, but deceiving it. It made the three-dimensional magic pattern unable to function for a short time. Once it had been halted for a while, whether one intended to forcibly break the magic energy array or secretly open a door and infiltrate its interior, there would be room to act.
However, this method was clearly unsuitable for the current situation.
Because what Angel faced was not a physical object, but an illusion he himself had created.
Therefore, he could not use the method of deceiving it first and cracking it afterward. He could only crack it by force, and the difficulty shot straight upward. Dox and Black Earl, who understood this deeply, still did not believe Angel could crack it even now.
What Angel had said within the contract light shield—"I have a way. Give me some time"—had not truly been a certain answer either. As long as Angel himself believed he had a way, the power of the contract would deem it the truth and would not backlash against him. But whether the method Angel believed in would truly work was another matter entirely.
Precisely because that possibility remained, although they hoped Angel could crack it, doubts still lingered in their hearts.
Compared to cracking the magic patterns on the illusion, perhaps finding some three-dimensional magic patterns in this underground structure would be more useful. After all, if they truly found three-dimensional magic patterns, they would have physical objects rather than Angel trying to crack magic patterns out of thin air.
