2084 Secret
The next day, Ery set aside ti for a personal coaching session. He summoned three acolytes—Dillion, Ha Ron, and the newly joined Kingrig—to gather in one of the private rooms within the hall, a departure from their usual outdoor training routine.
Their curiosity was piqued as Ery's serious expression hinted at the importance of the upcoming session. Addressing them with solemnity, Ery disclosed his intentions for the training, hinting at a personal mystery known to few.
He then openly disclosed his intentions, presenting them with two options: either sign a [Soul Contract] to solemnly swear to keep the matter a secret, or allow him to probe their minds to confirm their true commitnt.
Given the academy's security asures, Ery explained that this was the way to ensure their unwavering dedication to maintaining confidentiality. Such precautions were common practice in the other halls, serving as a necessary safeguard against leaks or breaches of trust.
All three readily consented to Ery probing their minds, their curiosity piqued even further by the secretive nature of the training. After confirming their commitnt, Ery skillfully opened a spatial gate, reminiscent of the one he had demonstrated during the previous day's training.
"You may enter,"
With a mix of excitent and anticipation, the three acolytes stepped through the magical gateway and found themselves transported to a wholly different realm. Lush greenery surrounded them, with vibrant grass and towering trees stretching as far as the eye could see. However, what truly captured their attention was a rock village nestled amidst the verdant landscape, bustling with activity as dozens of plant creatures moved about.
"Master, where are we?" inquired Dillion, his curiosity piqued by the unfamiliar surroundings.
Ery maintained his silence as he led the way, serenely traversing the path that wound its way into the heart of the village. As they entered, they found themselves surrounded by rock creatures, each standing no taller than half a ter, much smaller than the ones they had trained with.Ery calmly explained that these were all Chizpur creatures, albeit of different generations.
"These are all Chizpur creatures," Ery explained briefly, gesturing towards the bustling inhabitants of the village. "The ones you trained with were of the third generation, aged between 5 to 6 years old. The smaller ones you see crawling around are of the fourth generation, barely a year old. There are about 200 of them scattered throughout the village."
He pointed out that there were also 20 other third- generation Chizpurs present, distinct from those in the hall. Unlike their combat-focused counterparts, these Chizpurs served as builders and crafters within the village, contributing to its developnt and upkeep.
As they ventured further into the village, the group encountered several adult-looking Chizpurs, distinguishable by their larger size and more mature deanor. These were the second generation, numbering eighteen in total and all 14 years old. he explained that all the third and fourth generations were their offspring,
Finally, they reached an area near the river, where Ery introduced them to five towering Chizpurs, each nearly four ters tall. When seated, they resembled massive yellowish boulders. "These are the eldest," Ery explained, pointing to each in turn and introducing them.
"Chika, Chiki, Chiku, Chiko, and Chike."
Despite their fearso size and the magus-level aura they exuded, these five colossal creatures appeared remarkably gentle, showing their affection towards Ery.
"Now that you've t them all, let's head to our real destination," Ery announced.
Leading them towards the mountain on the other side of the river, Dillion was suddenly startled, noticing sothing strange in the sky as they walked.
As Dillion gazed up at the sky, he recognized it wasn't a typical expanse of blue; instead, it seed to be composed of a special energy. His eyes widened as he observed further, noticing that even the space beyond the forest and the mountain consisted of this energy.
"T-This... This is a Magus Domain, isn't it, Master?" Dillion's voice trembled with awe and realization. "Is this your Magus Domain? Are you actually a Grand Magus?"
Ery chuckled softly at Dillion's astuteness, offering words of praise for his knowledge. It was indeed rare for an acolyte to recognize a Magus Domain, as it was typically a phenonon associated with Grand Magus figures.
Dillion couldn't shake off his astonishnt. Typically, when a Magus achieves the Grand Magus breakthrough, their soul absorbs the cosmic energy, causing their core to expand and form a spatial aperture. This Magus Domain beca their personal spatial space, filled with the potent law energy befitting to the Grand Magus.
What truly bewildered Dillion was the sheer scale of Ery's Magus Domain. According to his studies, even a one-cosmos Grand Magus could only create an aperture of limited size, typically around a hundred ters square, usually resembling a cave. It was only when a Magus advanced to the level of two cosmos that their aperture could expand to the size of an island, capable of housing dozens of creatures.
Yet here they were, standing in a Magus Domain vast enough to accommodate an entire village filled with hundreds of rock creatures. Such a feat was beyond the norm, especially for a half-moon magus.
Ery allowed Dillion to mull over his questions as they continued their journey. With each step, the anticipation grew, and Dillion's mind raced with possibilities.
"I know it! You're a Magus of the Space Path! I've heard it's possible!" Dillion exclaid excitedly, his thoughts racing. "But this place is teeming with the law of nature... a domain of nature... shouldn't it be space domain?"
Their path led them to the entrance of a cave. As they stepped inside, a profound shift in energy engulfed them, a stark contrast to the natural surroundings they had just left behind.
After traversing another hundred steps, they reached their destination, a place saturated with the energy of darkness. Ery's calm deanor belied the significance of the mont as he addressed the trio.
"You three will be trainning here,"
