Chapter 1059 The Void



Chapter 1059  The Void

‘Strange, I should have instantly arrived back inside the chambers within the Night Lord’s Crypt. That aside, what’s more troubling is that I can’t detect any signs of those two.’

At the moment, Izroth was drifting through what appeared to be an endless void. Even though there was no source of light in this place, there was a mystical dark purple hue that lingered about in the atmosphere that made it possible to see one’s surroundings.

After Izroth crossed into the portal that was supposed to take him outside the isolated pocket of space created by the Resplendent Landscape Pocket Dimension Stone, he arrived at his current location.

As for what that location was, Izroth had no clue outside the fact that it was somehow related to The Void—an area that existed outside the normal laws of the world in RML.

To make matters worse, he had no idea what happened to Halls and Guan Yu who entered the portal before him. There was also no way for him to communicate with anyone while within The Void. Even using an item like the Returning Scroll had proved to be a fruitless endeavor.

“To end up drifting in The Void, there had to have been an undetectable rupture in space that formed in between the isolated pocket of space and the chambers to the Night Lord’s Crypt. Did it occur when the spatial vortex that connected the Mortal Realm to the Shadahi Realm collapsed? No, that alone would not have been enough to cause such a massive yet undetectable rupture. Then… Was it that creature’s doing?”

Back when Izroth used Deep Insight to examine the spatial rift that linked the Shadahi Realm to the Mortal Realm, he caught a glimpse of a shadahi bound to a large stone pillar on the other side. That shadahi was a monstrous presence that Izroth deduced was capable of manipulating space to a fine degree.

Izroth believed that it was possible that shadahi was the one responsible for his current predicament. After all, he ruined its plans to stabilize the spatial rift between their two realms. Once the shadahi realized that it was no longer possible to stabilize the spatial rift, it probably put forth a last-ditch effort to form a rupture in space.

“If that shadahi was the one responsible for creating the rupture in space, it must have paid quite a heavy price. I suppose it’s not too surprising considering the shadahi’s vengeful nature. Whatever the case, what’s done is done. I have to find a way out of here. Well, I say that, but… There doesn’t seem to be anything that even remotely resembles an exit in sight.”

Izroth had spread his Energy Vision Sense out to its maximum range; however, even with an area coverage of one kilometer, he found that there was only vast nothingness.

One could not simply access The Void through a spatial rift or other common means. It required a lot of effort and resources or a special method known only to a select few with a close connection to The Void itself.

While Izroth had no intention of allowing himself to be trapped inside The Void forever, he also could not write off the opportunity that was abruptly dropped at his feet.

Izroth opened his system interface and checked the progress of Boundless Emperor Void Perfection.

‘It’s just as I thought. The skill level and skill rank remain unchanged. I can clearly feel the shackles starting to loosen, which means that progress is being made, but… the progress is still too slow. Unless I’m able to locate an origin point of the Law of Void, I estimate that it’ll take at least a week for my Boundless Emperor Void Perfection to increase by one rank. However, if I can find a source, that time can be cut down to a day, or possibly even a few hours.’

“Although it is somewhat troubling that I will have to remain out of contact with the 9th Division while I’m here, the biggest threat has already been dealt with. The trial that remains ahead in my absence will give the 9th Division some much-needed experience. More importantly, the 9th Division is in capable hands.”

‘Of course, I also can’t leave this place until I confirm that those two aren’t trapped here. Once one becomes lost in The Void, even if I were to somehow find a way back, it would be virtually impossible to locate them with the current means at my disposal.’

While access to the Law of Void was a good incentive for staying in The Void, to Izroth, it was nothing compared to making sure that Halls and Guan Yu had not succumbed to a fate similar to his own.

Izroth knew that Halls and Guan Yu were more than capable of taking care of themselves under normal circumstances. But, in an unpredictable place like The Void where even legendary realm powerhouses found it difficult to traverse, the circumstances were far from normal.

‘My first priority is to ensure that those two did not fall into this area The Void along with me. That being said… Even if they did fall into The Void not long before I did, there’s no telling where they might have ended up. For all I know, they could have emerged on a side completely opposite of my current position. How troublesome.’

Traveling to The Void in the same manner that brought Izroth there was like dropping a leaf in a turbulent flowing river that led to a boundless ocean. You could drop several leaves in the same exact spot in the river; however, the current would instantly sweep them away to different areas of the river.

If Halls and Guan Yu had properly listened to his instructions and remained back in the chamber along with the rest of the 9th Division and 5th Unit, Izroth could have turned his full attention onto locating a source that housed the Law of Void. But, he could not fault their actions. In the end, it was their loyalty towards him that led them to leap into such a dangerous situation despite the potential consequences.

Since the situation had already occurred, Izroth understood that what was done could not be changed. All he could do now was make the best of what had transpired.
