Chapter 1104 Risk
Two hours were up, and without wasting any time, Zach already stood up ready to go a second after.
Without saying anything, he casually put his arm on Emery’s jade wall and within seconds, it melted and disintegrated as soon as he touched it, while Emery only gave him a straight look on Zach’s back which started to move away as he walked ahead him.
The next day repeated just like the first day, with a few hundreds of spider creatures to kill, a few dozen miles of endless cave to be explored, and zero words to talk between the two.
Couldn’t be bothered to break the ice, Emery just continued devouring all day long while controlling his summons. As for Zach, he chose to ignore Emery on his own business. Both of them were in the same place, but it looked like they were in a different world as none of them were willing to bring up any interactions.
By the end of the day, they once again found a cave to rest in. This time Zach chose a bigger cave than before, and Emery just followed him. The awkwardness between the two was still there making the cave that should be a high temperature cave felt a bit colder.
Since they had found a place to settle temporarily, Emery once again concentrated on the spirit energy he devoured from the spiders. There were a lot more spiders killed today than yesterday and he felt as if his spirit core were blotted with the mist of dark energy.
[Spirit absorption]
Emery closed his eyes, slowly and steadily the spirit energy was absorbed into his dark core and strengthened it, which then followed with the appearance of two successful notifications.
[Spirit force has increased]
[Spirit force has increased]
After the second spirit force upgrade, Emery felt a tingle of new taste within the dark energy he devour. That feeling flashed for a moment and it made Emery wonder about it for a second. However, that tingle of feeling was so tiny that Emery decided to ignore about the matter.
Emery continued to strengthen his dark core until he came up to a realization upon something. Since there was still more to absorb, he suddenly thought about eating one of his spirit pill foundations to give him the extra boost and he thought correctly as it was exactly what he needed.
[Spirit force has increased]
It resulted in another successful boost, making Emery instantly smile in satisfaction as he had managed to get 3 points to increase within that one day.
The third day passed, the fourth day and the fifth day. They had been living in the cave and doing the same routine for almost a week and by that, they were one step closer to the moment where they should face a duel. All went on without trouble and Emery had managed to increase 15 more spirit force during this time.
[Spirit force: 1645]
On the seventh day as planned, the two then headed toward the main entrance and saw the salamander dragon descend into the pit hole as the grand magus once again stood before them.
“Now let me see your progress,” said the grand magus.
Other than his 20 points of increased spirit force, Emery also had the new learn formation for his second stage wolf summons.
Hence, he did just that for this duel.
Right after he did the summon, 32 jade wolves dashed around in speed and charged the dragon from 8 directions in 4 multiple layers.
“Huh, child’s play,” Zach said sarcastically as he thought Emery was showing off his skills.
The dragon spouted fire when almost three dozen of those fanged beasts came charging at its body in different directions. When the dragon’s flame came out this time, only the wolf in the first layer died while the other 24 were fast enough to escape.
Emery was quite satisfied that his summon strategy turned out to be quite successful. Realizing it’s worked better than the jade soldier, Emery quickly came in to join the fights.
However, just a few minutes after the two clashed, the female grand magus immediately shouted, interrupted the fight.
“Enough!!”
The two stopped attacking each other immediately. The magus’ expression was filled with disappointment as she said, “Both of you still don’t get why i left you two here”
The remark from the magus only left a confusion on Emery and Zach’s face. The grand magus cursed a few words, took a deep breath, and tried her best to maintain her composure before she finally said,
“I guess without risk, there will be no reward… Now follow me!”
The grand magus left the salamander behind and flew deep into the caves. The two followed her from the back and headed forward to another pit hole with dark smokes coming out of it.
When Emery closed in on the pit, he was aware right away that this pit ran deep into the restricted area, the core of the Hyperion planet that was forbidden to be entered by acolytes. Not even magus were allowed to come to the area without permission.
“Let’s go!”
The grand magus jumped into the hole right after she said it. Zach quickly followed her without any hesitations, leaving Emery no other choice and started to jump in afterwards.
They kept falling deep and it seemed like the hole took them so far that it felt like it had no end. Five mile, ten miles, they kept going until they finally entered a thick smoke of mist.
The smoke wasn’t the end of this endless fall, and they kept falling, but this time Emery was unable to sense anything inside with spirit reading. They were falling blind for a few more miles before finally, all three came out into a huge open space.
They arrive in a strange place, at least for Emery. He could see mountains made of dark sands, gray trees, and glittering clouds that brought light to a palace like a real sky.
The grand magus flew slowly, hovering before landing while Emery and Zach both were pulled hard to the ground and crashed, creating a crater on the ground. Both of them groaned in pain as a result.
Fortunately, the pain was bearable for Emery. However, the loud bang was followed by hundreds shrieking sounds from a distance, making Emery prompted to ask,
“Elder, what kind of place is this?”
The grand magus, still maintaining her calm expression, unbotheredly answered, “This is the core of the Hyperion, the real surface behind the gas giant.”
