Chapter 890 Zero Abyss
Chapter 890 Zero AbyssWith only three days to spare until the day when the fight against the Dragon bloodline protege took place, Emery excused himself from his friends and quickly made his way towards the privilege help center.
There, he saw a female magus with blue hair and silver-rimmed glasses, Magus Ramora. As she was the one who was assigned to be his guide in the past, Emery planned to greet the other party before continuing on his way. However, for some unknown reasons, it seemed the female magus had been waiting for him.
”Hello, acolyte Ambrose. Is there anything I can help you with? Anything at all?”
The female magus looked more cheery and was much more respectful to Emery, a stark contrast from the way she was before. Of course, he knew the reason behind this obvious change in attitude.
At this, Emery could only chuckle inwardly. He understood and, though rather difficult at first, began to learn and accept the certain upgraded level of treatment that came consequently as he continued to climb higher in rank.
The female magus even knew exactly his purpose for coming here to the help center, as she already prepared a wooden box filled with [Spirit Foundation Pill].
As it was the end of the month and the result from the arena battle was final, Emery was finally able to claim his monthly ranking reward. Thanks to his newest ranking of 9th, he was now eligible to receive a total of 35 [Spirit Foundation Pill] bestowed to those ranking 6th to 10th on the leaderboard.
With the addition of 40 pills he received from Bradley, the fire magus, Emery now had a grand total of 75 [Spirit Foundation Pill]. These pills would be the fastest, instant way for Emery to greatly increase his strength in the next 72 hours.
Seeing the other party’s thoughtfulness, Emery didn’t say anything and just accepted the box with a smile. In return, the magus gave him an even bigger smile. It looked as if she was very grateful for the opportunity to be able to help.
Now that he had received the pills he needed, Emery wanted to quickly proceed to his next plan. He was about to turn around and walk away when he realized that with Magus Ramora just next to him, might as well ask her to confirm his plan.
”Ahh, you wish to do that..?” Surprise was evident in her voice when she heard his question. “Is it possible, you ask? …yes, that’s possible. But personally, I won’t recommend anyone to do that,” answered Magus Ramora while showing him the location that he was looking for.
Before Emery bid his goodbye and left for his goal, Magus Ramora once again warned him that such places were not advisable for an acolyte. Emery nodded his head as a sign that he understood, but unfortunately for the magus, he wouldn’t stop until he saw it for himself.
In order to save time, as soon as he exited the help center, Emery cast [Spatial Gate] and consecutively used it as a means of transportation. Thanks to that, it didn’t take long for him to arrive at the place he was looking for – a place where several large black rocks could be seen floating in the air.
”Here it is.”
As per what Magus Ramora had told him, Emery looked up and saw hundreds of similar black rocks floating in the air, creating some sort of bridge into a moon-like asteroid in the far sky.
Immediately, Emery followed the trail of floating rocks that seemed to be heading for space with his [Orbiter]. Eventually, as he rose higher into the sky, he could feel the air around him thinning. It gradually became more difficult to breathe, but he forced himself anyway.
Sometime later, Emery finally arrived at his destination. It was a large asteroid with many smaller asteroids surrounding it, a miniature ecosystem of planets of its own floating in the space between the outer atmosphere of Hyperion and the dark outer space.
The Zero Abyss Rock.
Emery controlled the orbiter to land on the asteroid and searched for the entrance to the place he wanted to visit. It was a huge cave where one could see many tunnels intertwined with each other.
The cave exuded a gloomy atmosphere. If it weren’t for a certain type of unique moss that was visible on the surface of the cave and emitting a faint green light, there would be literally no visibility inside the cave.
Using his Spirit Reading, Emery discovered that there were at least two magus currently cultivating within the asteroid’s interior. Deciding to pay these people no head, he went ahead and searched for a place of his own. Somewhere filled with more of the unique moss, preferably.
Once he found the place he deemed satisfactory, a dark cave filled with moss all around, Emery sat down and closed his eyes to start cultivating.
The main target he wanted to achieve from secluding himself in the next three days was not just to consume the [Spirit Foundation Pill] and gain more spirit force. But he wishes to master the new addition of darkness-based spells he had. Thus the reason he came to this place.
This exact place, Zero Abyss, came to Emery’s mind from the time he researched all the unique places on the Hyperion planet. The place, apparently, had a high concentration of darkness elements and a slight amount of earth and plant elements. Three things that hopefully would help him learn his new spells faster.
Unlike his spirit caves however, this place was unclaimable for one reason. The rocks would occasionally shake, and such volatile conditions make the place unsuitable to stay for a longer period.
However, after all the knowledge he learned from Magus Xion, and Grand Magus Yvere, about the comprehension of the Law of Space and Nature; Emery wanted to start learning about them and crystalize his own understanding. He believed such a place could be a good start.
Currently, Emery had a few spells that were related to such places. The darkness, earth, and plant combine tier 5 spells [Seed Bomb] [Ash Blast] and maybe the space related spells; [Dark Void], and [Void Aegis].
In the next three days, he would put a lot of effort into studying them and if he managed to learn one or two of them to a proficient degree, then it would be three days well spent, not just for his duel with Zach but also his preparation for the mid-test that will start in 6 days.
Without further ado, Emery calmed himself down. After fully adapting to the thin air and the spirit energy around him, he took one [Spirit Foundation Pill] from the wooden box and threw it into his mouth.
