"Waypoint?"
Killgragah was quick to explain what it was. As it turns out, the waypoint is a kind of teleportation gate with almost no range limitation.
"Every stone rune you see here is a waypoint created by the power of Khaos."
It was a shocking revelation, Ery knew firsthand how useful and important a long-range teleportation gate was.
The entire incident that took place in Nexus was all due to the Elves trying to create a teleportation gate beyond their borders, so their army could have an easier ti invading. Right now, when he recalled what he had seen so far, there were probably dozens of so-called waypoints in this place.
However, Ery was still confused about how this place was connected to Morgana's Spatial Space as well as the room in the Khaos space, where Killgragah was currently located.
For that question, the dragon explained that the waypoints that were currently floating around in this place were either those created naturally by the universe or those created by soone who received the power of Khaos, like Moragna's Spatial space.
As for where Killgragah was confined, it was apparently one of the four special waypoints made by Khaos, a Khaos space, hence why it was filled by the power of Khaos to the brim.
eαglesnᴏνel Hearing those words, Ery instinctively cast his gaze on the four dark rune stones again. He couldn't help but wonder what laid beyond the other three.
As for the one in the center – the pitch-black crystal, feeling the terrifying aura it gave off, Ery was reminded of the white tree on the Andora planet, where the Light Primordial Wisp resided.
If he would have to make a guess, the crystal should be where the Primordial Wisp, Khaos, resided.
Ery had so many questions, especially about what he saw in front of him. Nonetheless, he started with the first thing that ca to mind. The question he considered the most important at the mont.
He walked over to the glowing dark rune stone where Killgragah's voice ca from and spoke.
"So, if this waypoint leads to your Khaos space, does this an I can retrieve my body? Or even co back to Earth?"
The dragon swiftly replied, "Only the selected champion of Khaos can enter in and out of these waypoints."
"You keep saying those words, but I don't understand what they an."
Wondering if Morgana knew, he turned around and looked at the red-haired girl, only to be surprised to see she appeared to be in a trance. What's more, her eyes had turned completely black.
"Morgana?!" Turning to the rune stone again, Ery shouted, "What happened? What did you do!?"
Unfettered by his reaction, Killgragah once again nonchalantly spoke. "It's my Master. He's speaking to her right now."
The dragon's voice was heard chuckling at his confusion as it said, "The current you no longer has a soul with a proficiency in the dark elent. You don't even have a proper Magus core! In fact, your being here is an anomaly!"
Ery understood that the only reason he could access this place was solely because of Morgana, hence he couldn't help but wait anxiously. When it was finally over, he hurriedly caught her staggering body, her breath ragged. Monts later, Morgana told him what she saw.
It was a familiar story, Ery had seen himself from the eyes of the Primordial Wisp in Andora. Ergence of nurous colorful lights – ten of them – which was followed by a massive explosion that turned into thousands of tiny sparkling beings scattered throughout the universe. The one Morgana witnessed was colored black and soon arrived on a planet of the elven race.
Ti flew by unnoticed as the being got passed on and was sotis taken through battle, until one elf managed to convince the Primordial beings to divide its power into four offspring and create the Khaos Domain.
With that, the power of Khaos was shared by four champions, each guided by a guardian powered by the Primordial Wisp's offspring, manifesting the four special spaces of the Khaos Domain.
Things were going well for hundreds of years, until greed arose and the champions decided to fight amongst each other in order to gain sole reign over the complete form of Khaos.
Killgragah added the last bit of the explanation, saying his previous Champion was the elf Namariel, who died at the Magus Academy, which then led to the event that brought him to Ery.
"Now all she needs to do is claim her position as the Champion of Khaos."
The dragon explained that Morgana was qualified to be one of the four champions. To be precise, beco the champion of the Khaos space which was currently on Earth. For that, all she needed to do was to touch the pitch-black crystal and accept her destiny. The mont she did, she would be bestowed the blessings that were rightfully hers.
However, the girl resolutely shook her head and looked at Ery.
"It's never been mine to begin with. It's yours and I will not take it from you. But I'll follow whatever you want to do."
The red-haired girl's words gave Ery so mixed feelings, but one thing was for sure, he would not believe the dragon's words easily, hence he needed so ti to think and search for more information.
"Of course, take your ti." The dragon was still chuckling as he said, "Just a few warnings. Now that you've entered this place, things are going to get a little tricky."
"What do you an?" Ery asked.
The dragon however did not answer, which made Ery anxious once again.
Knowing the story ca from the Primordial Wisp itself, Ery believed it to be the truth. Based on his experience with the other Wisps – Light and Gaia, he was quite certain the primordial being did not have the trait of deception.
But on the other hand, the ssage they gave tended to be unclear and extrely vague, hence he needed to be extra careful in interpreting it.
As for Killgragah, Ery knew the dragon had his own agenda. One of them was to seek a new Champion of Khaos as soon as possible to expedite and achieve his freedom.
Because of that reason, Ery had always been unsure whether he could trust any of the details about becoming the champion he got from the dragon. That was why, he would rather take this situation slow and focus on what he ca here for.
anwhile, the dragon explained that so of the waypoints in this place ca from the Spatial Space created by those who had the power of Khaos. With that, Ery was confident that his own Spatial Space was sowhere in this place.
Perhaps, finding it would be the key to reach out to his other soul.
With this thought, coupled with the inexplicable apprehension he felt about the situation, Ery imdiately dropped all other questions he had and told Morgana to follow his plan.
Ery and Morgana rushed through the floating rocks at a rapid pace, trying out the existing rune stones, before finally stopping on a particular floating rock. The instant he stepped on it, even before his eyes caught sight of the rune stone, he could feel an inexplicable feeling coursing through him.
"This is it!"
Just like the other rune door, Ery's touch was unable to affect the stone at all. Unfortunately, the sa case also happened to Morgana. Left without a clue, he turned to the dragon again.
As he was trying to get a better answer out of the dragon, Ery suddenly rembered the many conversations he had with the latter. In particular, about the few tis where a similar situation occurred.
"Exalted being, you are all-knowing. Please share your vast and deep wisdom with a lowly one like . Tell how I can access this waypoint."
Now that he was facing a similar situation, Ery rembered this small trick he used to do to Killgragah, who loved to be flattered. And it seed to have worked as the dragon spoke after a mont of silence.
"Hmph, you cannot open the door, but your other half might be able to. Even though his core soul had been shattered, it was still a magus soul. You should ask for his help."
That was apparently a fairly simple answer, one he quickly knew the solution to.
Without further ado, Ery went down and assud the lotus position with Morgana right next to him. Closing his eyes, he used [Spirit Walk] and had the red-haired girl act as a dium to contact his other self.
Just like before, the process took a few hours. When he finally connected to his young self on the other side, Ery was worried he would need a [Spirit Explosion Pill] to assist the process.
Fortunately, it seed that being within this Khaos Domain, Morgana's spirit power was greatly enhanced and after quite a bit of ti, the dark rune stone finally reacted and glowed.
"It's opening up!"
