Chapter 316: Sealing The Forest Drake
When his vision returned to him, he find himself staring at a pair of large boobs, dangling above him. He maneuver himself away from it to see the owner of the pair of large boobs.
The being in question turned out to be Sinneasa. Then again, it is near impossible for Siraph to give him a lap pillow.
'How long had it been?' he asked with some worries. He had watched enough TV shows and anime that a blackout could either last a few minutes to days.
He send a message to Laili,
"How long have I been out?" he asked.
[ About a few hours. ]
Alros let out a sigh of relief though it did make him slightly concerned. After all, he spend about what seems like minutes talking with the female being.
'Though,' he turned towards the large tree, it's presence now feel more like a suffocating weight on top of him, 'I could guess what she is,'
He remembered Eliana telling him of the Spirit Tree having a Spirit protecting it. If he is correct, then it's likely a Spirit is after his life.
'Worried about that latter, but first,' he turned towards the Forest Drake, who currently still putting feeble struggle. Its a shame to kill it but it must be done or the consequences will not be pretty.
'If only there is a way to keep him trap here,' however, such thing is impossible unless he ordered 5 of his monsters to keep watch over the Forest Drake.
Doing such thing is a waste of resource and monsterpower, something he will need in the near future since he did not know how powerful the forces of the Spirit truly is.
'If only there is a way for me to imprison the Forest Drake without needing to put my A-rank monsters to keep watch over it,'
As he think about it, he then remember he could just ask Laili for advise,

"Laili, are there any ways to trap a powerful monster for an indefinite amount of time?"
[ Do you want to trap the Forest Drake? ]
"Yes. Is there any way to do it?"
[ Well, you could always create a magic circle meant for imprisoning others, or at least trapping them. But it will cost you a lot. And you cannot depend on the shop to help with it. ]
He was just about to do just that when Laili poop his bubble.
"Why is that?"
[ Because, to do that, you will need to put the Forest Drake inside the system space because the magic circle will only work inside of it. However, you cannot put the Forest Drake because you do not subdue it.
Unlike sentient race, that can be put inside without their consent, monsters and magical beasts will reject such treatment. Besides, do you want the Forest Drake to wreck havoc inside the system space? ]
He had to agree with Laili's logic.
"In that case, I have to create a magic circle strong enough to imprison an A-rank monster, am I right?"
[ Yes Master. That is what you need to do. ]
Alros sigh, realizing things would not be as easy as he hope for.
"Thank goodness I read the book about magic circle!" he let put.
He had studied about magic circle for three reasons. One, the subject interest him. Two, because studying it would allow him to create magic circle, or at least copied the existing one, and maybe save up for some cost. Three, in the future, he might need to deal with them so studying them allow him to understand the mechanism and how to break it effectively.
However, while he do know a magic circle that can be use to imprison anything, it would not work due to the size and strength of the Forest Drake. So, he will need to observe the magic circle he will imitate and modify for this purpose.

After checking the shop, he find the magic circle in question. It is called Sealing Magic Circle. Obviously, he goes for the High-Grade one as he will need to trap a powerful monster.
And of course, he needs to have some test subjects to see how it actually work. And so, many A-rank monsters found themselves imprisoned inside the Magic Circle.
Fortunately for them, Alros did not activate the other functions, like flame erupting under it, lightning striking them down and many more. He wonder why it was not called Torture Magic Circle at this point.
Still, he was able to get the necessary data, as well as knowing the materials needed for the building of the Sealing Magic Circle.

"Let's begin," he said to himself as he put the materials in different places. The materials will be the catalysts, allowing the mana from the surrounding area to help form the powerful Magic Circle.
However, it will not become the catalyst nor does the Magic Circle will take a form until Alros made it so. To do that, he need to mobilize the Mana in the area and shape it until the Magic Circle in question is formed.
That is how different Magic Circle come to be, in that different catalyst and mana circulation would form different Magic Circle. As for the grades, it mostly depends on the quality of the catalysts as the better the catalyst, the better its effect.
The system shop seem to go through this principle, with how expensive it is with the higher the grade.
And so, Alros worked tirelessly to form the Magic Circle, hoping it would work and it will not be destroyed.
-x-
"It is done," he wipe the sweat on his brows, his eyes on the newly created Magic Circle. However, there is a difference as it allow other beings to come and go, while keeping the Forest Drake inside.
It might seem like a design flaw but it is a necessity to make the Magic Circle more effective against the monster in question. Of course, to prevent any regular monsters from disrupting the Magic Circle, he created several small ones, with the intention to trap and kill anything that try to free the Forest Drake.
It's likely the Spirt will try to free her guardians, as she called it. That's the only reason he created it. Plus, while he will not put any of his A-rank monsters on guard duty, he will put some B-rank monsters instead for it.
After all, it's unlikely the Spirit would use A-rank monsters to break the other guardians free, as the threat he posed on her is significant and she likely will put her A-rank guardians on defense duty,
Hence, the reason for him to be confidence on putting his B-rank monsters watching the Forest Drake.
