Furthermore, the Gravity multiplier of the Gravity Rune Array is strictly limited by the Gravity multiplier that Leo can withstand when he activates his Bloodline Power. When encountering high-level opponents, Gravity Rune Array with a low multiplier cannot be effectively used.
However, if all the shadows are arranged into a large Gravity Rune Array, then Leo can be freed up. He will no longer need precise control; he only needs to activate the rune array.
Each shadow currently measures 8 square meters. As long as the shadow's deformation does not exceed this volume limit, it can change shape at will.
It can transform into thin, long threads of mana, or into the rune array node circuits that Leo desires.
In Leo's simulations and calculations, setting up a super-large Gravity Rune Array would not require 47 shadows; about 30 would be enough.
There are still 17 left for Leo, which is enough for Leo to use, both in terms of absorbing damage and for individual use.
Whether the Gravity multiplier can exceed the multiplier after activating the Bloodline Power remains to be seen after completing the experiment.
"If such an experiment can be completed, then as the number of shadows increases, could we set up other super-large magic arrays—electric shocks, Ice, high temperatures, shackles, seals, curses, petrification..."
At this moment, his mind became unusually active, because Leo was stunned by his own prediction: if he could really complete the creation of so many rune arrays, who could get close to him?
When Leo uses shadow attacks now, he draws a rune array on a single shadow. If he wants to use multiple shadows to attack a single target, he can only place multiple shadows on a single target.
For example, during the Giant World Fortress mission, Leo once cast all the Gravity Rune Array on a level 3 creature, using the Gravity Rune Array of multiple shadows to restrict its movement.
However, if Leo's idea of a super-large magic array can be realized, there is no need to do this. As long as a level three creature steps into the range of his magic array, it will be instantly suppressed by Gravity.
Imagine that scene: a massive magic array appears beneath Leo's feet, its runes and nodes representing magical power—isn't that just like the domains in those novels?
The more magic arrays Leo sets up, the more domains he will have. Any enemy who opposes Leo will suffer from a series of passive status effects as soon as they step into the domain's range, even before they get close to Leo's body. They will be considered powerful if they can unleash even half of their full strength.
With that in mind, Leo stopped worrying about the other tasks, jumped up from the recliner, and rushed into the wizard tower to create the super-large shadow fusion rune array first.
Leo's sudden action startled all the Gulu Beast lying around him. They looked around, thinking they had encountered an enemy, but saw nothing, and slowly lay back down to continue sunbathing.
"First, erase the runes and magic circles on the shadow, then bleed it out..."
Speaking of bloodletting, Leo's excitement was instantly extinguished like a fire doused with cold water. This super-large shadow fusion array was different from the smaller arrays he had set up before; this time, it required a lot of blood!!!
Leo's shadows possess the prerequisite for activating the magic array: using Leo's blood as the connecting medium. Only in this way can the magic array be set up on the shadows and successfully activated; otherwise, these shadows are completely useless.
Previously, they were all small magic circles, only a few square meters in area, and a shadow only needed 200cc of health.
But what Leo is about to set up is a super-large shadow fusion array with a radius of 500 meters. Even if he only uses shadows as magic patterns and array nodes, it is equivalent to soaking all 30 shadows with Leo's blood.
"Okay, as long as I don't bleed out, I'll keep bleeding."
With its current strong recovery ability, the released blood will recover at the fastest speed, and it will be enough to use it for about half a month.
Without further ado, they first prepared a constant-temperature energy box to maintain the activity of the blood, ensuring that the blood released by Leo would not lose its activity or energy.
For half a month, Leo bled while looking at the crystal ball he had traded from the Knowledge Trading Platform. His face grew increasingly pale as he embarked on his learning journey, as the crystal ball contained the knowledge that Leo desperately needed.
Since I've decided to end my laid-back lifestyle, I need to make my life more fulfilling. Wasting time is shameful, immoral, and irresponsible.
In addition to all the tasks mentioned above, Leo also needs to set up a magic circle on himself to absorb elemental attacks. This was inspired by how the Polyhedral Fortress converts a portion of the attacks into energy when it is attacked.
The only difference is that one is placed on the lifeless war machine of the fortress, while the other is placed on the human body. There is a big difference between the two, and it will take some time to think about and make the transition.
If the setup can be completed, Leo will not only be able to absorb incoming attacks to increase his mana consumption, but also further reduce the attacks he receives.
Sometimes Leo even felt sorry for his enemies. With Leo's gradually improving combat system, they became increasingly immortal, or rather, invincible.
Leo is surrounded by numerous shadow-like magic arrays that continuously attack Leo. Even if an attack manages to reach Leo, facing his inhumane defensive system and enduring Leo extremely high attack power, any enemy would shed tears of despair.
That's so brutal!
After bleeding for fifteen consecutive days, Leo teleported thirty shadows into a constant-temperature energy box, allowing these shadows to fully absorb the blood.
At this moment, Leo inscribed a one-to-one replica of Gravity Magic Array on the ground of the fourth floor of the Wizard Tower, with a diameter of one kilometer.
Using energy crystals as nodes, energy metals as mana patterns, and runes written with energy ink, this super-large Gravity Rune Array was completed in just two days.
As Leo activated his magic, the Gravity on the fourth floor of the wizard tower instantly increased thirtyfold. Amidst the booming sound, a portion of the roof of the top floor of the wizard tower was crushed by the sudden change in Gravity.
Leo calmly observed all of this. It was merely a proportionally enlarged Gravity Rune Array, designed to ensure that the shadow could be effectively triggered after completing the rune array at this size. It was neither a novel discovery nor a groundbreaking advancement.
At this moment, the thirty shadows had drained Leo's blood. Each shadow, glowing red, was like a bloodthirsty demon in the night, awaiting its master's command to kill any enemy at any time.
The next second, their master did not command them to kill anyone or drain someone's blood, but instead transformed them proportionally according to the runes carved on the ground.
The three shadows stretched into extremely fine magical patterns, laid out on top according to the magical patterns drawn by Leo. The other shadows also changed one by one according to the special shapes on the other magic arrays.
Soon, the massive Gravity Rune Array on the fourth floor of the wizard tower was completely covered by Leo's shadow.
In the next step of drawing the runes, Leo controlled the shadow to change little by little. Not a single point could be wrong, or it would not be activated.
When Yaoyao returned from her wild play, she saw Leo squatting on the ground, still slowly controlling the outline of the shadow.
Feeling extremely bored Yaoyao disappeared again, and Leo, who was focused on her, did not notice that Yaoyao had returned.
A month later, Leo stood up, his bones cracking as he stretched. Shaking his stiff neck, he looked at the massive black Gravity Rune Array on the ground Leo a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
We need to find a test subject.
Leo's gaze unconsciously drifted to the leisurely Gulu Beast outside the Wizard Tower, especially lingering on the lazy-looking Benji the longest.
With a swift movement, Leo vanished, and the shadow rune array on the fourth floor of the Wizard Tower also disappeared.
Benji sat half-upright on the ground, half-closing his eyes as he enjoyed the food his descendants were feeding him. Using a phrase he'd learned from Leo, he said, "Your ancestors fought a lifetime of war, couldn't you at least enjoy yourself?"
Just as he put a piece of tender, juicy fatty meat into his mouth, a tremendous pressure suddenly appeared, almost causing the unsuspecting Benji to bury his head in the ground. Not only did he not eat the meat, but he also got covered in dirt.
The other Gulu Beast were only at the first or second level of strength, far inferior to the formidable third-level strength of Benji. The sudden pressure caused them to lose their footing instantly, each one smashing a crater the same size as their body into the ground. They could only crawl with difficulty, groaning as they lay on the ground.
Benji was about to explode in anger. Who dared to attack him outside the wizard's tower? They were courting death!
But when he opened his one eye, a figure dressed in a gray wizard's robe appeared between them, and a huge black rune array appeared at his feet.
Upon seeing that figure, Benji instantly suppressed all hostility and became as quiet as a well-behaved child.
It's Leo!
Benji knew what kind of attack he had suffered— Gravity suppression, at a factor of no more than 20—but looking at the enormous rune array beneath Wizard Leo Xi's feet, which he had never seen before, Benji still felt a shock that went straight to his soul!
As a fellow user of the Shadow Talent, he could tell that Leo had altered his mutated shadow.
Previously, there were only a few dozen shadows. Although Leo's shadows had the ability to teleport and attack multiple targets at the same time, even against low-level life forms, Leo's attacks seemed to only take a moment to activate, and were extremely fast.
However, Leo's shadow teleportation attack could not escape the perception of higher life forms, and they could still dodge it.
But now,
Benji looked at the colossal rune array beneath Leo's feet. This massive rune array, with a diameter of one thousand meters, would subject all living beings within its range to Gravity attacks.
Unless you don't step into this area, once you do, there's no escape.
All of their Gulu Beast were within this range and were indiscriminately subjected to the Gravity attack!
