nLuckily the array isn't that high level and since we have deactivated the alarm array, you can have as many tries as you want as long as you don't completely go off course. The system said causing a smile to appear on Blake's face.

n'Alright let's give it a try.' Blake said in an excited tone.

nHis headache was gone and he was brimming with energy, renewing his determination to leave the underground dungeon.

nTo crack the array, Blake could conjure 30 mana needles and synch their rotation with that of the nodes or he could conjure the needles and wait for the right time to connect them.

nThe first option was insane and unreal for someone at Blake level, but the second option was doable.

n

"This shouldn't be a problem…

" Since Blake was able to disable 45 nodes, 30 nodes are meant to be a walk in the park, so he thought.

nBlake went at it for 30 minutes without a sign of progress Castiel and Brian decided to use that time to cultivate.

n'Why must things be so hard, why must the owner have everything locked up?' Blake cursed the unknown owner as he was met with another failure.

nAlthough the rotation speed of the nodes was quite fast he didn't have much of a problem with it, his main issue was his reaction speed.

nEvery time he tried to connect to the nodes, either he couldn't get all the nodes at their centers or he didn't some of the mana needles missed their targets, causing him to growl in frustration on multiple occasions.

nSoon, minutes turned to an hour, but Blake wasn't giving up. He had been on it for 2 straight hours without a break, leaving both the system and his friends stunned by his level of determination.

nUnlike the trap and alarm arrays, this wasn't tasking and the pressure of dying was no longer present, therefore enabling Blake to last longer.

n

"Finally!!

" After 30 more minutes of trying, Blake screamed out in joy, drawing the attention of Brian and Castiel who were cultivating.

nClick!

nThe array at the center of the double door lit up and the doors began opening.

nSeeing this, the trio quickly got into a defensive position because no one had an idea of what was on the other side.

nUnlike the scene of a monster prison which they had expected, they saw a peaceful, spotless office.

n

"This… is an office?

" Shock and confusion were written all over Blake's face because no one would have thought that an office would be protected by so many arrays.

nThe office was 20 meters wide and at the one end of the office was a red leaf maple desk which had a brown leather chair.

nBeside the desk were 2 file cabinets and on the walls were different pictures of the Bulian hills

nBlake was disappointed when his eyes scanned the room and couldn't find anything noteworthy till his eyes fell on the file cabinets.

n'Anything?' Blake asked the system to scan for any traps or hidden arrays.

nIt's just an ordinary file cabinet. Every item in this room is surprisingly normal for a place like this. The system quickly ran a scan and reported that the cabinets were clean.

n

"What the **?

" Blake opened up the first cabinet only to see it was empty. He quickly went for the second cabinet, but it was also empty.

n

"All that for an empty office?

" At this moment Brian didn't know whether to laugh or cry because it was funny that Blake had been working to disable the arrays for almost a day only to see this, but this also meant they would be spending more time here.

n'All that motivation and determination was for naught…' The anger and disappointment in Blake's eyes couldn't be hidden.

nHaving not rested from disabling the array, coupled with the disappointment, Blake was weak so he sat on the leather chair with his palms together in a thinking position.

n

"There is no way someone in his right senses will protect an empty office with so many arrays… Where the ** is the owner of this damn place and why will he being people here without showing himself?

" Blake thought aloud as he activated his mana senses and began scanning the room again.

n

"The walls still have the same level of mana coursing through them, just like the system said, everything here lacks a mana signature meaning they are normal.

" At this point, Blake stood up and began pacing around the room.

n

"…

" If not for their unknown location and the cloud of disappointment in the room, Blake's act of Sherlock homes would have been funny, but right now they could only hope that he did figure something out.

nAfter pacing around the room and finding nothing, Blake returned to the leather chair and began rubbing his temples, but that was when he felt a familiar feeling.

n'Locator.'

nHaving used the powers of a locator multiple times, Blake knew the signs of the clairvoyance skill. He quickly emptied his mind of doubts and focused on the thought of something special being in the room.

nOut of nowhere, a white ethereal gas began filling the room, but Blake didn't lose focus as he patiently waited for the 'call'.

nThe white gas in the room began shrinking before gathering to Blake who then opened his eyes which had lost their pupils and were now glowing white.

nThe white ethereal gas that gathered to Blake burst out forming a trail that led to a certain part of the wall at the left side of the office.

nBrian and Castiel were stunned by the scene and were eager to know what was going on, but because they were afraid that disturbing Blake may stop what was going they watched.

nWhen Blake got to the end of the trail, he placed his palm on the wall.

nClick!

nWhen his palm got in contact with the wall, what looked like a hexagram with six rings at the vertex appeared.
