Gaming Sword Magician - Chapter 207

“Hmm?” Sem and Neko glanced over.

They were curious about this. Their eyes sparkling with curiosity fell upon Whittaker.

They curiously looked at him, wanting him to continue saying what the problem is.

“The Crimson Inferno Formation is built using formation flags made of unique metallic wood that attracts flame elements in nature and use the flame elements to sustain the formation. But the location you chose is lush with trees, herbs, grass, and shrubs. There isn’t even a hint of flame elements in that location. Furthermore, there is also a stream. Of the five elements, Water opposes Fire. The Crimson Inferno Formation will be weakened by the water element in the environment. This place isn’t suitable for the conditions required for the formation. The formation will be unstable and won’t last for long. It will break under two attacks.” Under their expectation filled eyes, Whittaker explained the flaw in the Crimson Inferno formation and the reason why it will break in 30 seconds.

He has learned a lot about formation from Elder Zachary. Actually, he has nearly learned all about it from him. With his photographic memory, learning and memorizing a formation and it’s effect barely took seconds. In the previous week, he has memorized hundreds of formations, and what he said was the truth. The Crimson Inferno formation borrows the strength from the environment. It needs the might of the flame element to exerts its full power. But there weren’t any flame elements here…

“Amazingly, you’re also a formation master. But you look like a 12-year-old boy. Could it be you are a dwarf?” Neko exclaimed, unable to believe that Whittaker is a human being.

Based on his actions and words, the young fellow before them was definitely a formations formation. But it was inconceivable how a young boy could hold such deep knowledge about formation. They just couldn’t believe it.

“I am a human,” Whittaker rolled his eyes at her. He was just too amazing!

“Neko, he’s a human alright. Anyway, Life Taker’s reasoning is correct. Of the five elements, water opposes fire. The presence of the stream will weaken the formation somewhat. Furthermore, flame elements are necessary to activate the Crimson Inferno formation. If there aren’t any then the formation won’t be able to exert even 10% of its strength. Although what you said is true, there will be no such problem with the Crimson inferno formation. It will exert 100% of its strength!” Sem said with utmost confidence.

“Eh?” Whittaker wanted to know the reason for his confidence.

Sem smiled at him.

“There is a very large flame element metal deposit beneath the Grand Canyon! The special formation flags will attract the necessary amount of flame elements from the flame metal deposit automatically. As such, the Crimson Inferno formation will be able to exert its full might.” He revealed the truth to him.

Whittaker was surprised to his very core!

Elder Zachary had once taught him that one shouldn’t just focus on what he’s being shown. The world is mysterious and it only shows people what they want to see. His conclusion was based on the geographical terrains of the Grand Canyon. However, he was proven wrong by Sem because there’s a flame element metal deposit right below them.

He couldn’t know that. It’s not like he’s an omnipotent God! But how did Sem know that?

“Umm, may I ask how you found out that there is a flame metal deposit right beneath the Grand Canyon?” He asked with a curious look and Puppy eyes. Whittaker was always serious when it comes to learning new knowledge and he was intensely interested in this subject. That’s why he wanted to know how Sem found out that there’s a flame metal deposit below them. Hence, he used his legendary skill to force information out of his mouth!

Neko and Sem we’re both mesmerized by his eyes. Although Sem controlled himself, Neko couldn’t do the same.

“Dozens of years ago, the Grand Canyon was a desolate place. It didn’t even have a single hint of life. But as the year’s passed by, the imposing rays of sunlight gave birth to a flame metal deposit below the desolate ground. In the following years, plants and trees brimming with life grew up on land because of the nutrients provided by the flame elements. Though not many knew about this information and I happened to purchase it from a greedy merchant.”

Sem didn’t explain but Neko did.

“What she said is right. Anyway, that wasn’t the only reason. I also confirmed that there is an extensive flame metal deposit just below us by using my “Soul Sense.” With his back resting on the trunk of the tree, Sem pointed at the greenery and calmly said.

“This… wow,” Whittaker was amazed at the working of the world and didn’t have anything to say. After a momentary pause, he asked Sem: “What’s soul sense?”

Soul master was a secret hidden from society. The secrets of the soul master were only shared between those who were soul Master. Sem was able to detect soul force inside Whittaker’s body. Whittaker was also able to sense soul force inside his body. Therefore they chatted about this subject casually.

“It’s the skill that allowed me to look through the ground and see the flame metal deposit. You’re also a soul master. One day, you’ll be able to learn it too.”

Soul Sense has different uses. Its first use allows a person to directly see through things. Its second use allows a person to see the flow of energy beneath the ground, inside the plants, magical herbs, humans, and other beings. Sem used this ability to see the flame type energy flowing beneath the ground.

“Well then, I’ll go and attract them,” Whittaker said before turning around and heading towards the camping site of the contestant killers belonging to the Guild Blood Oracle.

“We’ll be hiding well and waiting for you!” Neko shouted for Whittaker to hear.

“Let’s go,” Sem said as Whittaker disappeared from their vision.

“Okay,” Neko replied.

They started walking towards the southern entrance of the Grand Canyon.
