Chapter 133: Too Late
After a mistake that cost him his weapon, the Beast Tamer finished off the Steel Silk Centipede just in time to see the smile on Sages face. The group had no idea who this man was, but hed obviously already taken the treasure they were here to look for. They were all waiting to watch the smile get wiped off his face when their Leader ordered the flowers to attack.
They didnt have to wait much longer, wiping off the goo from the smashed up bugs the three men all watched as the flowers suddenly convulsed. Each of the dozens of flowers shot out hundreds of tiny black seeds faster than arrows. Pulverizing the stranger in front of them and most likely the rock beneath and behind him. The man who had summoned the huge palm had even held up the energy hand in front of himself to block ricochets and closed his eyes to avoid from seeing the gruesome death of the man who opposed them.
What how?
When that man opened his eyes, he didnt see a puddle of blood and mush that man was standing there completely unharmed. There was instead a dome of blue energy shielding him completely. The stalagmites and rocky ground in front of him was utterly destroyed, looking like a bomb had gone off, with holes punched through the rocks by the thousands of seed bullets. A moment later the blue dome lifted into the air and tilted towards the four men. The dome flattening out and turning into a disc. Then, eight points around the outside of the Formation Disc lit up with red light and balls of flame formed a few feet off the ground above the red lights.
The four men didnt just wait around, each of them releasing another attack towards their enemy. When they did, the blue disc started to rotate in place like a clock face. Each of their attacks smashed against the disc and were knocked aside by the spinning force. At the same time, the balls of flame shot through the air, taking different swerving arcs towards each of the four men. The flames were knocked down by the group with some difficulty, but they just kept coming. The room full of stalagmites made the room hard to move in, so if they wanted to rush in their formation would be disrupted. The Leader made a quick decision.Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
Withdraw. Stay in formation!
The array finally deactivated. Sage carefully examined the Formation Plates and saw a few flaws already starting to form. Shaking his head as he confirmed that the cheap Spirit Steel they were made out of was only good for a few uses. Normally, they wouldnt wear out this quickly, but it seemed there was a drawback to his Formation Plate combination after all.
The Formation Machine is powerful, but not without its cost.
It wasnt the best name, but it was his first attempt at creating such a thing so he didnt waste too much time on a name. It wasnt just a set of formations, it was an idea that Sage had long ago and only just now had reason to put into use. Since its creation, he hadnt been truly as threatened as he was now. Hed almost used it against the spider horde, but never reached that point. Against the Demonic Plant he thought that even using the Formation Machine he might not succeed, so he didnt even bother.
The Formation Machine was a concept from his old life. A State Machine. It was a concept from certain mathematics, and also Computer Science. A system would start in one state and depending on its input, it would switch to a different state. The new state would then use inputs to switch to another state, and so on. For example, a vending machine. It would start in an idle state. Displaying advertisements and waiting for input in the form of coins. Once a coin was entered it would change to an ordering state, now it waits for keys to be pressed and an item picked out. Once there was enough coins inserted and an item picked it would switch to a dispense state, giving out the item chosen, dispensing change and then finally returning to an idle state.
Sage used the foundation of his successful if check targeting Formation Plates and used them to provide the input for his Formation Machine. If an attack was coming his way the array would trigger a defense formation. Once there was a gap in the attacks it would switch to a counter attacking state and attack while still defending at a reduced level. If the enemies moved too far away, it would trigger a trapping array to stop them. If they got trapped the array would transition to illusions and pit the targets against each other. If they were weak enough and non-moving the array would leave them be, targets for Sage to capture or prey upon.
The main large Formation Plate was broken into eight smaller circles. Each of them linked to two other circles and also in the center. Essentially, it could move through eight different states. The design was somewhat limited, but it was simple for now. Each state could switch clockwise or counter-clockwise and trigger its two adjoining states. Each state could also get triggered by any other with its singular center array plate. Sage still hadnt figured out a real way to store any information so this was currently his most sophisticated creation. It could change states sequentially, or go directly to a certain state when necessary. That was how he accomplished chaining effects, and also triggering capture arrays and defensive techniques.
