127 Fateless
“T-this….” Vernisia was shocked to see herself suddenly appearing over the large floating mountain.
Zevien also raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he was not as shocked as Vernisia. After all, Euclion could rewind the time, so teleporting instantly and arriving here didn’t shock him.
“Yo, Zevien. Long time no see, hahaha,” Euclion said laughingly.
“How strong are you? Are you god? Can I ever reach the same power as you?” Zevien fired three questions with fire in his eyes.
Vernisia also looked at Euclion before something clicked in her mind, and her eyes showed even more shock, “so you were the one who did the time rewind?”
“Exactly,” Euclion nodded while grinning. “As for your question, Zevien. It is indeed possible to become as strong as me, hahaha. But the path is not an easy one.”
Zevien clenched his fist as he was slightly agitated at knowing that it was possible. “So it is possible…”
“Anyway, I am here to tell you about this mountain,” Euclion said as he pointed at the giant mountain below them. “This mountain is a trial set by my friend. The reward is a magic spell. Two people can use that magic spell on each other, and it will only work if they are truly sincere to each other, love each other, and genuinely care for each other. If these three things are met, the spell will spiritually bind these two people, and whenever one of them enters their magic labyrinth, the second one can enter together.”
“Oh? Then it means we can gain more magic power by entering the additional magic labyrinth of our partner?” Vernisia’s eyes shined.
“No,” Euclion shook his head. “You can’t gain magic power while staying in your partner’s magic labyrinth. But you can help and work together to benefit from other things like helping each other, entering trials of your Relics, dungeons, and such things.”
“Then let’s go right now,” Zevien said with a grin. “Can you drop us there?”
“No,” Euclion shook his head before smiling, “you two don’t need to take part in a trial on this mountain because you two are already spirit-bound. In the first place, my friend created this spell because of you. It’s too much to explain, but you two were spirit bound after you helped Vernisia through her experiment. I won’t explain more, but I was just here to tell you this and another thing.”
Euclion’s face suddenly became somber as he looked at Vernisia and Zevien before speaking, “you two are Fateless because I used my powers on you. Generally, we, the beings who have surpassed the Magia realm’s boundary, wouldn’t interfere directly in the life of people living in Magia-realm because it would have adverse effects. For instance, you will feel more difficulties in your life than you would have and attract trouble once you have set foot on the true path of magic, which comes after 1st class rank.”
“Attract trouble? From who?” Zevien frowned.
“From Magia realm,” Euclion said, “basically, your luck will not be so good since you are now Fateless. So, become able and build a good foundation for yourselves while you still haven’t stepped on the true path of magic.”
Zevien grabbed Vernisia’s hand and grinned, “life without challenges is boring, right Vernisia?”
“Yep,” Vernisia nodded as she also had a fearless grin on her face.
“There are other Fateless people like you in Astral Land, and many of them have risen high after facing difficulties. Let’s hope you can do the same,” Euclion said with a smile. “Alright, now I have to go. Good luck on your journey!”
*snap!*
Euclion snapped his finger as the three of them disappeared.
Zevien and Vernisia arrived back on their hill, but Euclion was not there.
“Zevien, I…I am more excited than anxious,” Vernisia said as excitement danced in her eyes, and she gave Zevien a hug. “Let’s become the strongest! Euclion mentioned some strange words, but from that, we could infer that there is an even bigger world! He himself has surpassed the Magia Realm. Can you imagine that? It’s mind-blowing!”
“Indeed, hahaha. Let’s go to the top together and overlook however many worlds are there from above!” Zevien laughed as the princess carried Vernisia before entering the abode. “But first, let’s enter my magic labyrinth together and enter the dungeons of my Mirror of Oz-Fin relic and Star Door Relic. It’s good that I haven’t entered them since I was waiting to become a 5th class magician so I could perform better in them.”
“Nice. I also have yet to enter my Restore Stone Relic’s dungeon. So let’s go into my magic labyrinth after yours.”
Zevien put Vernisia on the bed before he sat down beside her cross-legged and closed his eyes in meditation. After five seconds, he disappeared and appeared inside his Violet Spectrum magic labyrinth.
“Vernisia?” Zevien said, but frowned a second later since he didn’t see Vernisia around him. “It failed?”
Outside, Vernisia felt a mystical calling and closed her eyes to focus and accepted it before she disappeared.
…
“You are here,” Zevien sighed a relief. “I thought it didn’t work since you didn’t enter here at the same time as me.”
“I got a mystical calling after you entered and had to accept it by focusing,” Vernisia said thoughtfully. “I guess that’s how it works.”
“So you are also staying in an inn right now?” Vernisia said as she looked around. “This inn is better than the one I am staying in my Shadows of Hex magic labyrinth. Hehe. But you will be surprised when you enter my Primal Elemental Utopia magic labyrinth.”
“Can’t wait for that. The name already sounds good with utopia in it,” Zevien grinned and spoke before taking out his Mirror of Oz-Fin. “I am going to open the portal here since this room is big enough.”
Zevien infused 100 mana into the Mirror of Oz-Fin and waited for a few seconds before it shone and released a slow beam of white light in the air three meters away that opened a portal.
“I heard people getting two yellow-rank magic crystals and other rewards after performing exceptionally in dungeons,” Vernisia said as she crackled her fingers. “Let’s do our best and get the best rewards.”
“Yep,” Zevien nodded as he put the Mirror of Oz-Fin back into his magic eidos body and entered the portal. Vernisia also entered after him.
The portal stayed active for a few more seconds before disappearing.
