Sam dropped the deer leg he was eating and immediately made a move. He let out a batch of puppets that are still in the research phase.

These puppets are modeled after a beast called Day Bat. A bat-type beast that feeds on sunlight and roams around in the day instead of the night like the rest of its other species. It has a special quality that as long as the sun exists it doesn't have to worry about the lack of spiritual energy. Even the absorption rate of the spiritual energy from the surroundings is less and most of the energy it consumes comes from the sunlight the skin converts.

And the secret is not in the genes which is lucky for Sam as the secret lies in the acupoints, the energy circulation is what makes it possible for the bat to do this, which made it possible for him to make a prototype and the best part of this beast model is that the bat doesn't send sound waves to the surroundings to find the way.

It actually sends some special waves that resonate back, that gives a special echo according to the energy concentration of this place.

They are still in the research phase, he couldn't nail the energy source system completely so they cannot just go on with the solar energy.

But the energy wave detection is still on. So, Sam sent it in all the directions and checked the energy echo that was coming to different puppets as the puppet spirits sent the data to him.

And within five minutes, as he moved around, he noticed the energy readings from the puppets are changing. He then took a seat as he made some calculations on a scroll and he is doing at a rapid speed. He moved to another location and the readings changed, he once again started calculating.

This went on and on for a whole day and by midnight as the maze shifted Sam is finally done with the calculation.

He looked at the bunch of scrolls lined up in front of him and the bunch of calculations he made, he felt extremely satisfied. He never felt this proud in this world. Not when he made the puppet technology, the energy cells, the rockets, killing people far stronger than him, fighting gods on equal stage, tearing Hou Yi's asshole, nothing ever gave him more satisfaction than this one moment.

He felt like he cracked something divine. He felt like he touched a new realm of knowledge. He felt like he crossed a million miles in a second.

He looked at the whole formation once again with a newfound appreciation. All this while the formation is like an incomplete art piece, he knew he is seeing something great, but he couldn't understand what it is.

But as soon as this piece fell into place after the calculations, he felt like he got the real meaning behind this art piece. This formation is like a masterpiece that could go down in the history as one of the greatest and to think that something like this is used to imprison an annoying brat, Sam felt like he met his match on vanity.

At that one moment, he didn't care about the Saber Monarch, he didn't care about getting out, he didn't care about the game, the gods, the families, organizations, the goals, mess, he didn't care about anything at all.

He was lost in this art piece of a formation.

The person who created is a genius among geniuses. He made a moving core and a dormant formation spirit. It doesn't communicate or maintain the formation operation, the formation runs on its own like a mechanism.

The moving core is not exactly a node or a zone concentrated energy that could be moved, in fact it could be said that this formation is coreless.

Because the moving nodes that group together in different places all together form a temporary core and every time Sam enters an area, the spirit changes the location of the core.

A core is basically a hub of energy that maintains the circulation of the energy within the formation so that it stays working, so these moving nodes not only act as main nodes and small nodes, they are also acting as a core based on the person's location within the formation.

So the core is there and not there at the same time.

Now Sam just has to find a way to trap that core in one place and mess the energy circulation up so that they could properly escape.

And since he cracked the mechanism up, he doesn't have to worry too much. He took out the paintbrush that he got from the Murali's inheritance and he started drawing inscriptions on the floor with an excited expression.

The saber monarch looked at Sam's expression and his change of attitude. He became active, there is this invisible glow around him. He is happy.

For some reason, he felt a bit jealous of Sam at the moment. That happiness wouldn't come easy. One has to work tooth and nail to get that happiness. He is very familiar with it. He has similar happiness when he found the woman he loved most.

Even though Sam's happiness is not to that degree, it is still the same.

He felt confused. How can cracking a formation can give someone such pure happiness?

If Sam heard these thoughts he would have answered them with a mere smile. He heard those thoughts quite a lot in his previous life. Among all the identities that he has the one he took most pride in, the identity of the inventor, a creator it is that part of him that is so happy at the moment. When he cracked the mechanism of the formation, he felt like he met another lonely soul that left the message in the ragged path he was traveling.

He felt like he met a friend with who he could finally share his thoughts, his loneliness.

For a whole day, Sam spent on writing the inscriptions in the maze, like crazy and he was done just a few minutes before midnight and he fell onto the ground and started panting.

The Saber Monarch came to check on him immediately and after confirming that he is okay, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Why did you over exert yourself like that? What is wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong. We are about to go outside, get ready."

The Saber monarch's eyes lit up. "You are not joking are you?"

"No, just wait a few minutes, the maze is not going to change anymore. Meanwhile, let me finish my meal."

Sam took out another beast and started cooking for himself as they waited for midnight and by the time he served the meal on the plate, midnight arrived, the saber monarch looked around in shock.

"The maze didn't change." He muttered in awe.

"It wouldn't anymore. Unless you want it to change." Sam said as started eating.

"The MAZE IS NOT CHANGING ANYMORE. HAHAHAHAHAH…" The Saber monarch started laughing like crazy and joined Sam for the meal. His grin didn't leave his face.

Sam took out the bug to contact the Five Elemental King.

"Hello, Sam, the Maze didn't change. What happened?"

"I cracked the maze. I cracked the mechanism. We can get out whenever we want."

"Then come out now."

"I cannot come out now. We cannot now. I need to know the status of Akhil and Noah. How far did they go?"

"The latest report we got is from a week ago. They would come tomorrow morning."

"Then let them come, by that time, these family heads will also be here. So, stay in your hiding place and contact me. After I got the details, I will decide on what to do next and keep the explosives of the formation where they are."

"Why do you need the explosives there? You said you already cracked the formation."

"Well, the creator of the formation has some special interests, He actually left a message hidden within the formation for whoever that cracks it, I need to prepare a reply for him.

So, the explosives are a bit necessary."

"Creator of the formation? Do you know who he is?"

"No actually, but I will find him for sure."

With that the communication was cut.

Sam then had a peaceful dinner and wanted to take a nap.

But at the moment, the Saber Monarch asked a question.

"What is the message left by the Creator of the formation?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"I am a bit curious on what a guy this intelligent needs to leave a message to a stranger who cracks his formation."

"Come and Find Me. I am feeling lonely at the top.

That is the message he left."

Sam said with a smile.

"That is one arrogant message."

"Arrogance is a relative term actually. For him, that statement might just be a simple fact."
