What they were doing now was sending the coordinate marker made from spiritual force to the cosmos between the various worlds to float in between, and they could only hope for good luck for the spiritual force to land in another world.
But the gaps between the worlds were fraught with dangers. The most fundamental was that of spatial interference, and there could even be a few strange beings that specifically stay within this space, who would not only destroy the spiritual force markers but even follow the markers back upstream, retaliating by launching an attack on the Magi who had sent out the markers!
As a result, Duke Gilbert would have to be watching on the side.
The destruction of the spiritual force marker was a common occurrence. Robin failed twice after, which caused his face to become as pale as a corpse.
‘With the amount of spiritual force that he exhausted in this experiment, Robin will have to rest up for a few days and spend time meditating to recover completely!’ Leylin thought to himself.
Like Robin, many other students in the laboratory had failed many times, and not one of them had successfully found an alternate world.
But there were still many differences between them. A female Warlock who possess a Vapour Phase spiritual force managed five attempts before she had to retreat to a corner to recover. Meanwhile, Robin was at his seventh attempts, while the white-haired old man, the strongest of the bunch, had made more than ten attempts.
“The disparity within rank 3 Warlocks is simply too huge!” Leylin let out a sigh in his heart after having seen this scenario.
“Phew! I can’t do this anymore! It’s your turn!” After having failed once again, Robin’s face was so pale that the blood vessels below were visible. He immediately retreated, and Leylin took over his position.
“You must have understood what was happening from your observations before this, right? It’s very easy, just simple usage of your spiritual force!” Robin retreated to the side, and swallowed a purple capsule which made him look better instantly.
“Alright! Let me do it!” Leylin eagerly walked forward, and large amounts of bright silver spiritual force were condensed into silvery-white seed-shaped substance.
Constructing a coordinate marker from spiritual force only required a simple usage of spiritual force, and any ordinary rank 1 Magus could do this easily.
Under Leylin’s control, the silvery-white seed slowly floated beyond him, and touched the indentation in the mirror.
Bloop! As if falling through a layer of water, the silvery-white seed instantly penetrated the mirror.
However, instantly, Leylin’s face registered a change. He immediately felt his connection to the marker weakening. It took a large amount of spiritual force to maintain the connection.
Rays of silvery-white spiritual force repeatedly disseminated from his sea of consciousness, and he managed to maintain a faint connection to the marker.
‘No wonder only those at rank 3 or above can participate in this experiment! Just one attempt could drain the life out of most rank 2 Magi!’ Leylin sighed in his mind. Suddenly, he could feel the spiritual force seed he’d scattered coming under the control of a frantic tsunami, only able to float and sink with the waves. He was unable to pick a path to advance.
‘If it’s like this, everything depends on luck!’ Leylin smiled grimly; if he could not even control his spiritual force, of what use would anything be? The only option was to pray that he was lucky.
“Hmmm? Not good!” At this instant, two large air tides collided in the silver space, wedging his marker in between them.
Leylin tried to move the marker away, but it was to no avail. He could only watch as the two air tides collided, giving rise to a huge storm and extinguishing his seed.
“Ugh!” Leylin held his head. The instant he had lost his spiritual force seed, his head felt as if it had been sliced apart by a knife. The spiritual force in his sea of consciousness was also depleted by a third.
‘Does this mean that I can only condense these coordinate marking seeds and try my luck for three times at most in a single session?’ Leylin was rendered speechless. With the experiment being completely dependent on pure luck, and no way to increase the success rate, his seniors had a huge advantage when compared to him.
It was no wonder that Duke Gilbert had solicited the help of so many students. The greater the number of attempts made, the greater the hope to succeed. However, the chances were still low and completely dependent on luck.
Leylin subconsciously reached for his waist pouch, before quickly withdrawing his hands.
The Coin of Destiny could only make predictions about matters beneath the Morning Star realm. Once the matter involved the crossover of various worlds, no matter how slight the contact, the coin would be completely destroyed without being able to make a single prediction.
“You failed? That’s normal! Try again!” Robin encouraged him.
Leylin rolled his eyes at Robin, and once again condensed a spiritual force marker, sending it through the lens.
Chapter 407 – A Plan
A Plan
‘Huh? Things are going much more smoothly this time!’ Leylin was amazed for a moment, and then fell back into silence.
In the middle of that thought, his spiritual force symbol had entered turbulent space again. An eastern wind soon picked it up, sending it forth into the distance.
What awaited it in the distance was a terrifying fire whose aura was slowly but surely increasing.
Through the response from the symbol, Leylin vaguely saw an incomparably enormous world. Surrounding this world was a membrane of sorts.
“Really? Is Lady Luck on my side?” Although Leylin had his doubts, he continued to dash forwards with his spiritual force.
“Who is it? This is the Blazing Flame King’s territory, get lost!”
A loud rumble was heard, and Leylin felt a powerful aura that caused his symbol to crumble apart.
Thump thump! Leylin stumbled a few steps backwards, blood oozing out from both his nostrils.
“What happened?” Robin immediately stepped towards Leylin and supported him.
“I seem to have discovered a world, but was blocked at the edge and attacked by a self-proclaimed king!”
“Oh! That is the Blazing Flame World! It is under the control and protection of the Monarch of Blazing Flames, Breaking Dawn Magus Aragorn!” Robin’s expression showed both understanding and indignance.
“They were already under his subjugation! “ Leylin remarked with his eyes opened wide.
“Yes! A few of the famous Breaking Dawn Magi here have already attacked and conquered some worlds with horrifying accomplishments. We even suspect that it is the spoils of these wars that have allowed them to enter the Breaking Dawn realm…”
“Afterwards, the Breaking Dawn Magi and their subordinates will protect the conquered world, stopping us from spying on them. On top of that, the guardians and other Radiant Moon Magi use their spiritual force to invade unconquered ones, at the same time destroying our spiritual force symbols!” Robin’s smile was forced and bitter.
“Therefore, avoiding probes by those formidable powers and camouflaging our spiritual forces until the time is right are topics that are very valuable for research!”
“Ah! “ At this moment, the rank 3 old man looked as if he had provoked something, stumbled backwards and looking upwards, shouted :”Be careful, it is heading this way!”
Ji Ji! An unpleasant sound transmitted out from the mirror in front of him.
A huge tentacle stretched out from within the mirror. It appeared to be some species of octopus, but without suction pads on the pure black tentacles, it looked extremely illusionary.
“Intimidating Gaze! Toxic Bile!”
Despite facing possible death, the rank 3 Warlock showed no fear. He extended his domain and under his manipulation, Toxic Bile manifested itself and became a trident, piercing through half the body of the black octopus-like creature.
Peng! The mirror shattered into pieces as the octopus succeeded in squeezing its way through. It’s skin was filled with eyeballs all over, making it a horrifying and gross sight.
Phush phush! The highly toxic black poison fork had pierced straight into the body of the octopus, yet no injuries were inflicted.
“Innate skill of virtual transformation! This is most common attribute among the living creatures in space!”
Leylin momentarily remembered what he had recorded.
Soon after, a huge ball of pitch-black smoke was puffed out from the mouth of the octopus and started to attack in the form of infrasonic waves. Leylin immediately retreated to a distance.
The old man yanked the crystal crucifix that he wearing and held it up in front of himself.
Thud! Beneath the octopus’ black tentacles, the crystal crucifix proved to have no effects and it was penetrated through easily.
The octopus came face to face with the old man and pounced on him. Countless big and ferocious teeth started appearing beneath.
