Chapter 67: Formation Plate
Taking advantage of your strong points and covering up for your weaknesses is a pretty basic concept when it comes to most forms of competition. The new Sage now found it ridiculous how lacking his combat abilities were. Before joining the Holy Flame Sect hed been forced to fight for his life dozens if not hundreds of times. He had strove to purchase techniques, weapons, and anything else he could get his hands on to make himself stronger. After joining the Sect he grew complacent, no longer worried about fighting for his life and spending all his time learning and earning profession badges. During the time when hed been training as a Hunter was the only time he faced any hardship. That was when hed learned how to use the Rope Dart, training in a martial art called Revolving Skimmer and practicing how to combine it with his Cultivation Art, Verdant Firebrand. Hunters trained to track, trap, and capture animals and beasts which inevitably led to combat. At the same time, battles only happened when the Hunter screwed up. The ideal hunt ended with the prey being caught in traps and being caged or finished off by the Hunter.
At the time, Sage had felt his blood pumping whenever he participated in a hunt. It was a feeling that he loved and hated at the same time. It drove him to become stronger, but as soon as he earned his 1 star ranking as a Hunter and moved on to the next Profession he seemed to repress the experience. Thinking about it would put him into that mindset again, living on the edge of a blade. It was more relaxing for him to focus on learning and savoring the peaceful life. More than a decade later, he realized how naive he had been, hiding from his problems rather than facing them head on. Not that hed face them head on now a cunning individual would never face a problem directly. Such a blunt approach was too revealing and failure left little room for recovery. Just like when he was a Hunter, the element of surprise was the most important thing. The more secret weapons you have, the more surprises you have.
Sage purchased a few supporting ores and materials, which when combined with the ones he already had stored up within his Storage Ring, he was able to construct quite a few Formation Plates. Formation Arrays were usually inscribed onto a permanent surface and used as defensive or utility installations. A formation plate on the other hand was a portable version of an array. The formation would be inscribed onto a metal disk and when energy was channeled into it, the formation would be activated. The downside was that the formation would be the most generic version given that the usual strengthening variables were unknown, additionally, the material that the plate was created out of was usually far weaker than the huge stone foundations that arrays were usually inlaid upon.
Sage had an idea of his own on how to improve the ability of Formation Plates, and he was now ready to give it a try. His idea stemmed around creating larger Formation Plates that could interlock with smaller Formation Plates. As he was crafting them himself the plan was to forge a huge solid piece of ore and then shape that into large and small plates. Since it would be an identical material the hope was that with some testing he could find a way to create modular Formation Plates. He would create a smaller plate that had the main function of an array, and then fit it into a larger plate that would carry a formation for targeting and triggering. If he could figure out how to make it work then he could just carry around different trigger plates and effect plates and combine them to match the situation.
His idea stemmed from when he was reminded of his programming days. The larger modular triggering plates would become his if checks. All of his comparative values would need to be predetermined, but by changing out the array placed in the larger if plate he could pick what to check for and how to react to it.
I hope I can get the plates to combine I wonder how many levels of combination I can create?
The sudden idea of creating a dozen levels of nested if formation arrays brought a smile to his lips.
