darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not believe that, after investing so much time and preparation to set up this magic array, it could be… gone in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't this just impossible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this all just a trick?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of House Windwhisper looked towards Blake, the array master he had hired at great expense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake's expertise in magic arrays was renowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely, he had taken every precaution to ensure its success, hadn't he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, Blake himself frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't been able to see exactly how his magic array had been breached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic array was maintained by multiple mages, each acting as a node in its structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake's design for this magic array aimed to weaken anyone trapped inside, depleting their strength, mana, and stamina until they were defenseless and completely at their mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a method he had researched extensively to deal with a larger number of enemies — one he considered foolproof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the secret realm's boundaries were predetermined by the three great houses, he had only needed to set up the array materials beforehand, awaiting the arrival of prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a seasoned hunter laying a trap and simply waiting for his quarry to stumble in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mages standing at critical nodes of the array served to ensure the smooth activation of the magic array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake held control of the array and, at his command, the mana surged through pre-established nodes, connecting the array's patterns and forming the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In theory, at this stage, no one should have been able to break through his magic array!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To disrupt a magic array, there are generally only two methods: one is to understand its design and destroy the nodes to make it inoperative, and the other is brute force — using a widespread, indiscriminate magical attack to overwhelm it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Blake had anticipated the second method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had buried the array's magical items deep underground at varying depths to prevent any single strike from dismantling it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he had set up a backup system: the mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the array was activated, these mages could theoretically leave, as the array was sustained by the magical materials at its nodes, operating on a self-sustaining cycle after the initial mana infusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be extra cautious, Blake had instructed the mages to channel their mana as part of the array, turning them into additional nodes themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the magical materials were destroyed, the mages' mana would still keep the array running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake had put his heart and soul into this magic array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless someone was more familiar with his array than he was — an impossible notion, Blake thought — no one could break it in such a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they tried to analyze it on the spot… no mage, no matter how talented, could decipher the layout and locate the nodes so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if they did, by then the array's effects would have rendered them powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake was confident that only death awaited anyone trapped within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his utter shock, the magic array had indeed worked perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the mages who had positioned themselves at key points were unaware of anything amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of House Windwhisper had deftly hidden the array's true purpose from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the mages were in place, House Windwhisper's head activated the array himself, and everything proceeded as planned, flawlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene before him was perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people trapped inside had already lost their only chance of escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the array, their strength would soon drain away entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, House Lunastone and House Windwhisper's mages were now poised to start casting spells to finish them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Blake, those within the array were already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding any powerful opponents inside, according to the intelligence provided by House Windwhisper and Blake's own sources, the highest level of strength in Crossbridge Academy was held by a few platinum-tier supervisors — not even worth a second glance, in Blake's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the academy's headmaster, he was merely a child who inherited the academy after his father's passing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What strength could he possibly have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Blake had heard of Daniel's poor reputation in Riverside City, making him look down on Crossbridge Academy even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the array now fully activated, House Windwhisper and House Lunastone's plan was ninety percent complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining task… was to handle the academy's teachers and students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eliminating the academy's gifted ones and its administrators, the rest would be easy prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the mages of the two houses would be more than enough to suppress Crossbridge Academy's remaining forces without Blake lifting a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake's role was essentially done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he simply waited for his payment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people in the array were beginning to falter, and some had already fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The array's effects intensified for weaker individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake's gaze shifted to the finely dressed figure standing at the forefront within the array: Daniel, headmaster of Crossbridge Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It matched the information he'd received perfectly — just a young man who'd inherited his position by luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake had seen his share of such second-generation heirs, all riding on the achievements of their predecessors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… why was he still standing there? And why did he appear unaffected?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought crossed Blake's mind, especially as he noticed the tier-platinum mage named Rowan behind Daniel, showing visible signs of discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rowan was clearly feeling his power drain away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Daniel? Why did he seem unaffected?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake shook off the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could escape his magic array; even he, as its creator, would need time to break through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This array was designed to withstand even the destruction of a node or two, allowing it to continue functioning with reduced effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake was certain no one could meet such stringent conditions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, Daniel spoke, his words dripping with mockery!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words… left no doubt — this array was weak! House Windwhisper and House Lunastone's forces were weak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake and the two heads of the great houses were incensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake, furious, adjusted the array's settings to intensify its effects on Daniel, determined to silence this insolent youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heads of the two houses commanded their mages to begin their assault. Kill every last one of Crossbridge Academy's members!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as they moved, the mages maintaining the array were all struck down, falling to the ground as if they had suffered a severe blow.\u003C\u002Fp>",1085,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.255Z",1,"novelbin.me","7277377ec7ea5bcad49475e3f60c38a8f98d9819bd1aa284511fabdf89da5d63","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-56","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-54",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
