Chapter 49: Chain Space Magic Array

"Whew – it’s done!"

Standing on the north side of the town, Lolth rubbed her wrist and looked at her "masterpiece" of solving the monster problem perfectly, feeling a sense of achievement.

As dusk approached, the sunlight turned into a warm, soft orange-red color, reflecting beautifully on the wide Larech River. The shimmering waves looked lovely, with the nearby fields empty of workers. Spring harvest had just passed, so most fields were empty, which was not unusual at this time.

"I really worked hard today, I tired myself out!"

Lolth felt that she had depleted one percent of her magical power, and it would take more than ten minutes of rest to fully recover, talking to herself.

She did indeed complete a quite large project.

All afternoon, she was setting up Space Magic Array around the town.

Initially, she planned to set up some simple defensive magic arrays in the southern forests and riverbanks to detect and eliminate any intruding life forms.

But later, Lolth rejected this idea herself.

Because she was worried that a few days later, the ecological system of the monsters would still be endangered by their reckless charges… after all, lower-class monsters are not very smart.

Also, there is a risk that it might accidentally harm the residents of the town.

So after thinking about it, Lolth decided to give up using the powerful magic array that could harm others.

Soon, she came up with a new idea.

She decided to use her best Space Magic Array!

When any living being enters, the magic array will activate and send them back in the direction they came from.

This not only prevents magical creatures from causing trouble and ensures the safety of her property and Hillenbrand Town, but also stops some residents from endangering themselves by venturing out, it’s a win-win situation!

Although Lolth was very lazy and didn’t plan to rule or govern this "town" seriously, since it was technically her "territory," she felt responsible for the safety of the residents in the town.

To prevent mindless creatures from repeatedly trying to exhaust themselves and waste the magic power of the automatic energy storage magic array, Lolth added a simple additional function.

Every time the teleportation is activated, there will also be a Psychological Shockwave.

It is like using fireworks to scare away wild animals, but using magic instead.

Of course, to prevent innocent civilians from accidentally being teleported, the Psychological Shockwave only activates when magical creatures enter.

For an ordinary human, being suddenly teleported back is scary enough, adding a Psychological Shockwave could cause them to panic.

Lolth thought about manipulating these magic creatures like a real succubus would, to control their minds and eliminate the fear of teleportation, but unfortunately…

In contrast to what Isabella and Tina speculated, she knows very few mental spells.

The Psychological Shockwave and its upgraded version, the Soul Blast, are the extent of her knowledge in mental and soul magic.

After finishing the setup in the south, Lolth suddenly realized a problem…

Just because there are many magical creatures in the rivers and forests in the south, doesn’t mean there are none in the north.

What if the southern route is blocked, and these low intelligence creatures happen to migrate north?

Following the principle of sending the Buddha to the west, Lolth simply set up the same formation on the east, west, and north sides, leaving only a few gaps for the roads leading out of town, but she also placed inactive magic arrays there.

In this way, the entire town was protected by a series of linked Space Magic Arrays, just like an invisible defense shield.

But in this world, danger doesn’t just come from magical creatures.

After setting up this circle of magic arrays around the small town, she decided to check if there were any problems within this circle.

It’s one thing not to look, but when she did, she truly discovered a few questionable areas.

For example, near the torture tower in the northeast corner, on the other side of the gentle slope where weeds were rampant, there was a strange, damaged altar that looked very ancient. Although it no longer had any magical residue, it still felt eerie.

Although there were no magical creatures in the northern section of the river to the west, it was this very fact that made Lolth curious. After careful investigation, she only found the wreckage of a ship, which, despite being damaged, showed no signs of rust or decay. The material resembled wood, leaving even Lolth unsure of its origin.

Then, not far from the northern farmlands, there was a small lake surrounded by lush greenery, with a small island in the middle. On the island stood a blurry female statue, whose origins were unknown.

After some thought, Lolth decided to add another layer of independent inactive magic arrays to this location.

Once something strange happens, these magical formations will be the first line of defense!
