Chapter 1104 Risk
Two hours were up, and without wasting any ti, Zach already stood up ready to go a second after.
Without saying anything, he casually put his arm on Ery's jade wall and within seconds, it lted and disintegrated as soon as he touched it, while Ery 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, Ery just continued devouring all day long while controlling his summons. As for Zach, he chose to ignore Ery on his own business. Both of them were in the sa 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 ti Zach chose a bigger cave than before, and Ery 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, Ery 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]
Ery 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, Ery felt a tingle of new taste within the dark energy he devour. That feeling flashed for a mont and it made Ery wonder about it for a second. However, that tingle of feeling was so tiny that Ery decided to ignore about the matter.
Ery continued to strengthen his dark core until he ca up to a realization upon sothing. 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 Ery 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 sa routine for almost a week and by that, they were one step closer to the mont where they should face a duel. All went on without trouble and Ery had managed to increase 15 more spirit force during this ti.
[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 see your progress," said the grand magus.
Other than his 20 points of increased spirit force, Ery 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 Ery was showing off his skills.
The dragon spouted fire when almost three dozen of those fanged beasts ca charging at its body in different directions. When the dragon's fla ca out this ti, only the wolf in the first layer died while the other 24 were fast enough to escape.
Ery was quite satisfied that his summon strategy turned out to be quite successful. Realizing it's worked better than the jade soldier, Ery quickly ca in to join the fights.
However, just a few minutes after the two clashed, the female grand magus imdiately shouted, interrupted the fight.
"Enough!!"
The two stopped attacking each other imdiately. The magus' expression was filled with disappointnt 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 Ery 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 !"
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 Ery 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 co 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 Ery no other choice and started to jump in afterwards.
They kept falling deep and it seed 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 ti Ery was unable to sense anything inside with spirit reading. They were falling blind for a few more miles before finally, all three ca out into a huge open space.
They arrive in a strange place, at least for Ery. 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 Ery 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 Ery. However, the loud bang was followed by hundreds shrieking sounds from a distance, making Ery 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."
