Between the colorful giant trees, Amon was writing on the ground. It's hard to know if it is writing or drawing because these letters have very complicated forms, using his finger as the pen and his magic essence as ink he kept writing thousands of runes that took ten meters square of space, with every meter complete he will rest for an hour, it was an exhausting process, he then will start again with the routine. This formation will make him free from the powerful being watch.
He designed this formation to be his and the forest replacement. He needed materials for this formation, but Theia solved everything for him. Earlier, He gave her a design for the floating formation with instructions on how to make it work, she took them to her company to do more research, maybe it will take four of five months for them to absorb the new knowledge.
Of course, he is never a good man, and even if he doesn't need something he will never give it without gain, but he already set Theia as "his woman" even if she refuses, and he will never be a greedy person when it comes to his women.
Theia did not take long to come back with materials, and things Amon asked her to bring for him, but she brought a mountain of material and resources for daily use saying "the more the better", she did not forget to bring all her closet too.
The 'mechanism' of this formation is very simple, it will provide "the powerful being" with the essence, and to do so he only needs to add a limited amount of essence as an ingredient.
There is a special type of object called the Blood prism, people use it stores blood essence so that the blood will not lose its magical properties, the prism has an octahedral form and it can store twenty times its size.
An effective tool but an expensive one and because of that they solely use it to store blood essence.
Amon intends using the mortal core as the power source, his stored amount from hunting won't be enough to support the formation its good that Theia brought Rank four mortal cores.
Theia was watching from the side. She is curious about what Amon is up to, from the day Amon explained her the Law and the Tao, she set her mind to achieve the fire law, she wants to ask Amon about a method to sense the laws faster but she is ashamed to do so, he kept helping her from the moment they knew each other, he never rejects anything she asks even if it means his loose. That is why it hard to ask for more help.
This morning she sensed him going out of the house with hands full of materials. She has a hint, so she came along with him to watch, maybe she will get a chance to watch the formation making process.
"I wonder what this formation can do," she walked close to the semi-finished formation. She can see that Amon is out of energy that's why she comes close in case he passes out from his over-exhaustion.
"It's just a feast that will satiate the hunger of my dear neighbor" he put the mortal cores and the prism in the center of the formation and placed a control spell as well, one that can activate or deactivate the formation from any place.
The prism was full of tree essence. He put an amount that will last for three years. But that is enough time for him.
"Aren't you going to bring a chair to your husband?" he said while walking out of the formation.
"Hmph" she waved her hand two chairs appeared out of nowhere, it was inside her ring. After the amount of time together with him, she never cares what he says.
"Hehe, I know you are excited to witness the process of making a formation, the eager face looks cute on my little Theia" he sat on the chair turn his head at Theia who sits on a chair beside him.
"Hateful" she felt a little embracement, this annoying man can read people always.
"Okey, Let the show begin" he put a hand on the ground, roots start to move inside the formation and a tree starts to grow from the canter of the formation, from ten centimeters to meter long, then three meters. Five meters, the prism and the mortal cores were swallowed inside the tree in its growing process.
The process lasted ten minutes then the growing stop when the tree reached twenty meters tall, but that was just the beginning as Amon activated the formation, the runes floated a meter above their original place with a form similar to butterflies.
They start circulating the tree and the prism inside it then they hit the tree walls giving the look of a splash abstract painting but this "splash" starts to take its original form of runes that covered the whole tree.
as the runes covered the whole tree, they start glowing, then expanding to form a small link to a direction behind Amon house, the link-rune connected itself with another invisible link, it was that connects Amon with the powerful being, then the essence inside the prism start moving while the essence inside Amon tree stopped and was cut off the moment the prism replace it. Then the glow faded, the newborn tree is the only thing visible now.
But Amon can feel the changes, the spells are gone. now he can acts freely without alerting that person. He is not afraid and will never be. He can cut the spells and stop the essence from going to that person. He is not obligated to give him anything, but he doesn't want problems now.
"So, Did you enjoy the show?" he asked.
"Even though I did not quite understand what was happening but it was formidable, is the'neighbor' of yours that strong that made our genius boy willing to give offerings to him?" she did not sense any strong presence since she came to this forest unless...
"It's not a matter of weak or strong, it is just not the proper time for me to meet him," if he wants to cause trouble to this person he will just send poison instead of essence, it won't kill him but it will cause him some problems. But he wants to ask him about the tree origin.
"By the way, I did not ask before but where is the transport formation that allows you to come here?" now that he is free from one of his 'cages' he wants to have a look at that formation and study it.
"inside a cave, outside this illusion spell, are you planning to go to the middle content?" she was surprised, it's rare for him to care about something.
"Not yet, I merely want to study the formation, maybe we can move it to the house."
"that would be great, but let's do it tomorrow, you can't even move from the lack of energy inside your body how can you go to the cave or even move formation?"
"I am certain a kiss can restore my full energy but I wonder where I can find a kind heart that will grant me this kind of help," with a serious face he looked at her alluring lips.
"..."
She really doesn't know how she can keep up with him, what strange is that she starts to feel attracted to this damn man!
