The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth



A boy could be seen practicing various hand signs, and three Chakrams could be seen moving around in an undefined path. He kept trying, but it was tough to control at such speed. The boy looked at it and complained, "Why is it so hard to perform this technique? Using an Array is no fun."

He kept trying again, took some rest, and thought about the whole process again. He was able to understand the basics of an Array. It was a complex art, and he could only create a primary Array. He has learned a lot of things about Magic Array in the past few days.

First, a Magic Array is a structure formed by a combination of Magic Runes that are connected together to create an effect in a specific area. The more complex the structure, the harder it will be to create.

Second, there is a need for a base to create an array. Some arrays use magic disks as the base, while others use other objects or structures as the base.

Third, the arrays are of different types, like offensive Arrays, defensive Arrays, suppression Arrays, illusion Arrays, summoning Arrays, and many more.

Fourth, he doesn't need to understand all the Magic Runes used; he can memorize the formula of low-level Arrays to use them.

Fifth, fuel was needed to operate an Array; most people used their Mana, mana crystals, or beast cores.

After going through everything he had learned, he decided that he was going to create a Magic Formation by combining three Arrays; suppression array, slow Array, and Attack Pattern Array in his spell.

The first was the slow Array, which was a spell-type Array. It creates a magic circle in an area, and everyone standing there becomes slow. He planned to use his Mana to create this Array, as this was a second-star Array and was easy to learn. It had a formula that made many people struggle to memorize it, but for Rishi, with a photographic memory, it was the easiest one.

The second Array he was going to use was a three-star Array; this one gave many Array Masters a hard time as they needed to create three pillars with magic and then carve Magic Runes on them. The formula of this Magic Array was even more complex and longer than the previous one, and most array masters spent years to fully understand it, but Rishi took a shortcut like the previous one and memorized it.

For creating the pillars, he decided to use his shadow energy because, unlike Mana, he could absorb some amount of shadow energy back, but with 'Shadow Spirit,' he could absorb 70% of the shadow energy back. He also had an almost limitless amount of shadow energy.

Creating three pillars with embedded Magic Runes was a nightmare for many Array Masters, but with the 'mimic' property he got from his 'Shadow Spirit,' it was easy for him. He thought about the pillar's shape, size, and weight and summoned a seven-foot pillar that looked more like a pole. He made it thicker before starting to carve the Magic Runes on it.

He knew how hard it was to get his hands on a three-star Array, but his teacher could get them easily. He took his time and embedded every Magic Rune properly before rechecking it many times. He then scanned it properly so that he could create an exact copy of it. After some time, he took a deep breath and summoned another pillar.

It took him some time; the pores in his hands opened, and a thick black mist appeared from them and started to turn into a pillar similar to the one he had carved. He checked the black pillar filled with Magic Runes from top to bottom to ensure no mistakes.

After carefully checking it, he created one more pillar and placed all three in a triangular formation, with their bases creating an isosceles triangle. He chanted some words and created a hand sign, and the symbols and patterns in the three pillars lit up, shining with a unique yellow glow. He could see some text written on them.

"सर्वे कर्मवशा वयं।"

It was written in the ancient language of Sanskrit and meant, "Everyone is subject to karma." He didn't quite understand its complete meaning but thought it signified the concept of the law of nature. He ignored it and looked at three long pillars; They were buried one foot under the ground and were filled with various mysterious Magic Runes that were beautifully linked with each other.

He then started to chant the incarnation and hand symbols of the second Magic Array. The ground at the center of the Array started to shine before a Magic Circle appeared there, shining in a violet glow. He stopped casting and looked at the piece of art he had created; it looked like a perfect torture chamber. He was happy about it but had a little doubt about its effect.

He had now created his Magic Formation, a combination of slow and suppression Array. He wanted to test its capability, so he used his shadow sense technique and found a perfect lab rat. It was the same green-colored serpent with yellow eyes. He used his 'Chains of Shadow' skill and caught it before bringing it to the center of his Magic Formation.

He then activated the force; The serpent beast wanted to escape, but it became very slow. It was as if gravity had increased many times, and its head hit the ground. No matter how it struggled, it was unable to move at all. Rishi looked at it and cheered in joy, but his expression changed soon when he saw the beast vomiting all its food. Disgusted, he stopped the formation and let the poor beast leave.

He looked at the formation and said, "I have already learned to create two Arrays; now it's time for me to learn the last Array 'Multi-Weapon Attack Array,' " It is a peak three-star Array created by a combination of three two-star Arrays: the haste Array, the attack pattern Array, and the detect Array.

It worked on the principle of a Detect and Attack strategy: the Detect Array scans the opponent and finds its weak point, while the Attack Pattern Array uses the attack pattern installed in it and guides the weapon to attack, while the Haste Array increases the speed of the weapons by many times to make them harder to dodge and to land more hits in less time.

He learned the formula of this Array; he was able to quickly learn the haste Array and the detect Array, but the attack pattern Array was troublesome to learn.
