The trial started, cracks forming on the statue as Medusa's body emerged from the stone. Its eyes lit up a bright red that was barely visible even through the fog, which made William's task of locating the creature much easier.
He activated the series of Arrays while controlling six improved Array Puppets to attack it head-on. William controlled the remaining four Array Puppets to form a line in front of him, linking their arms together as a Perfect Barrier Array was erected, acting as a shield for William.
This Barrier Array was one of William's additions to the improved Array Puppets that resulted from his years of experience in the Array simulation during his upgrade. The biggest bonus was that this Array was able to move with the Puppets, allowing William to remain both mobile and safe during a fight.
He stored the Mana Gathering Staff and Sword of Shifting Sands in his Space Ring, bringing out the Starmetal Bow and nocking a poison-tipped arrow.
