THE MAGICAL PIT
"This is a creature attraction arraye. The same arraye cast by the Temple of Magic in the east forest", she replied to him.
After Sara obtained the Temple of Magic, she learned to use it to cast magic. One of the magic that she learned from the temple was their creature attraction arraye. It has the ability to attract powerful creatures from miles away.
"How is the pit?" I asked Sara.
"The damn pit is ready, and I have another magic arraye prepared in there for the bloody creeps", she told me.
------
To the east of Kaleon town, a vast pit had been excavated, stretching so expansively that it resembled a miniature valley. Surrounding this colossal valley were over thirty metallic tanks, Dragon Tanks, each housing formidable conjurers known as Arraye Masters.
Sara initiated her magic arraye, unleashing a mystical force that beckoned magical creatures from hundreds of miles away.
With eager anticipation, these creatures surged towards the source of magic, only to find themselves ensnared within the pit upon arrival.
In a chaotic spectacle, creatures of varying sizes and strengths clashed and vied for dominance. Recognizing their entrapment, some of the mightier ones attempted to break free, prompting the Arraye Masters to respond swiftly.
Conjuring sharp magical poles that erupted from the ground inside the pit, the Masters sought to subdue the unruly creatures, preventing any escape.
Despite their efforts, the sheer number and power of the magical beings, some bordering on legendary status, proved challenging for the Arraye Masters' magical spikes.
Yet, a game-changing move was in store.
Rinna emerged from one of the Dragon Tanks, summoning a colossal serpent resembling the legendary Hydra.
With a massive body and multiple powerful heads, the hydra released thousands of serpents, each originating from a head adorned with the likeness of Medusa. These serpents systematically moved to eliminate the magical creatures one by one.
In a surprising turn, a legendary creature managed to break free from the Arraye Masters' magic, soaring into the air. Acting swiftly, one of Rinna's serpents lunged towards the creature, sinking its sharp fangs into the formidable adversary.
After a grueling battle, the magical creatures within the pit were left fatigued and vulnerable.
Seizing the opportunity, Rinna's final serpent, with a cobra-like head, executed a decisive move. Unleashing millions of serpent holograms from its hoods, it sought out the hearts of the trapped magical creatures.
Upon biting their hearts, the creatures were petrified, instantly transforming into stone.

"Wow your serpent became so powerful", Sara said to Rinna about her serpent of Neheb.
"After Neheb gained the Tesseract of Flesh, it became alive. Its magic is greatly multiplied in effectiveness", Rinna told her.
"Rinna, you don't seem to tire much after the battle", I said to her.
Previously, when Rinna used her serpents, she was exhausted after every use. That was because the serpents were magical souls that drew power from her, exhausting her in the process.
But with his own magical heart now, Serpent of Neheb does not rely on Rinna for magic. It could sustain itself with its own heart.
The pit that we dug for the magical creatures was filled with dead carcasses, many of them petrified and turned into stones.
There were several greater beasts who weren't killed by Rinna's serpents. But these creatures were met by Chash, Cassandra and Meera. Before long, these legendary ranked monsters were killed and subdued.
Suddenly, the conjurer badge on me flickered uncontrollably for some reason.
"What is happening to my badge?" I asked them.
"If you ask me, the badge is tabulating the kills. You took the mission from the Mission Center and if those creatures in the mission are killed here, they would be tabulated in your badge", Raven told me.
Suddenly, a second star flashed in my badge before it lighted up. Then a third star lit up too. Even the fourth star started to flicker indicating that it would soon advance again.
"Damn, all these dead creeps are not enough to advance me to the tier of a full-fledged Conjurer", I complained to them.
"You should be contented, usually the apprentice will take years or decades before they become full-fledged conjurers and you achieved it in one go", Sara told me.
"Wow, this is a major haul. Just the bones and skin of all these magical creatures are worth a fortune", Raven said to us about the killings.
"You can also collect their magical hearts, Even the petrified hearts still contain magic", Rinna told him.
Suddenly, I got an idea.
"Sorry Raven, I'm not giving you the bones and hearts", I said to him as I summoned my Malevolent Slaves.
"Alpha. Beta. Gamma"
My Malevolent Slaves rushed out to the field of killings to extract from them their magic, souls and bones. This would be a major harvest for me too.
-----
Suddenly, my mind reached into my soul realm again. Multi-colored clouds that were once the souls of the magical creatures that I just killed were filling up the space.
My Malevolent Slaves quickly digested the essences of these clouds before transferring their soul magic into my realm.
When the clouds were all dispersed, I could see the Monolith Sword Tower, with the nascent soul of the Dark Angel floating above it in the sky of the realm.
"It is a pity I lost the use of this soul realm", I complained to myself.
My soul magic increased again although the magic was no longer usable by me. It was appropriated by the Dark Angel of Revelations.
"Soul Magic: Uranus Tier Level 1"
-----
"Did you advance in your magic again?" Meera asked me.
"Yes, my soul magic is now at Uranus tier Level 1 although I couldn't use its magic anymore", I replied to her.
"Your improved soul magic will advance the rebirth of the Dark Angel", she replied to me.
"Is that the only benefit from killing so many creatures?" Chash asked me.
"My magic armor is getting a little stronger by the infusion of the creature's bones", I replied to him.
"What are we going to do next?" Cassandra asked me.
"There is one last creature in my mission, the hardest one", I told them.
"The Aqrabuamelu", Sara said to us.
