Chapter 372 - Fragment World (1/2)
When the scorching air with the pungent smell of sulfur reappeared in Roy’s nostrils, he knew that he had returned to the Abyss.
However, the moment the Gate of the Abyss closed, he suddenly found that Julia and Benia were not around him, and he was in a bizarre environment.
There was a void of darkness all around him. There was no gravity, and he could not figure out what was up, down, left, and right. For a moment, he thought that he had been teleported to outer space somewhere, but then he found that he could still breathe.
While he was wondering, the dark space changed, and a black vortex appeared in front of him.
Logically speaking, it was not easy to see another type of black in the darkness, but when this black vortex appeared, it was extremely clear in his eyes because it was distorted, and he could see a glimmer of light in the center of it.
“This is… a spatial vortex?” Roy quickly understood.
But before he could figure out a way to move to see what was going on, the vortex disappeared.
He was stunned. He turned and looked around. He spread the demon wings and tried to fly in this strange dark space. But after flapping his wings for a while, he did not know whether he was moving There was no reference in this space, causing his perception to be greatly disturbed. He flew for a while and felt that he seemed to have gone to the spot where the spatial vortex appeared, but he could not tell at all.
At this moment, another spatial vortex appeared, but this time, it was at his feet. He did not know if it was the same spatial vortex that had appeared before, but he did not rush over this time. Instead, he stayed in place and began to count the seconds. Sure enough, after about four seconds, the vortex disappeared.
Then Roy simply stayed where he was and observed. Soon, he noticed the peculiar phenomenon of the spatial vortexes.
The appearance of these spatial vortexes had no pattern at all. They might appear in any direction and at any distance, and they would only exist for about three to ten seconds, which could be said to be fleeting. After observing multiple spatial vortexes appearing at the same time, he realized that they were not the same. Different spatial vortexes seemed to connect to different spaces.
Roy understood a little. After being teleported back by the Gate of the Abyss, he seemed to have directly entered the deep Abyss.
According to the information Roy obtained, this was probably a place that only demon lords could reach. This place was deeper than the Abyss where high-rank demons lived, but no one knew how deep it went. Compared to the Abyss above, the biggest difference was probably the non-continuity of space.
In layman terms, the space here was broken. Precisely because of this, it was impossible for the vast and boundless lands of the Abyss levels above to appear here. Perhaps there was once a massive world here, but because of the shattering of space, this world was scattered into various fragmented spaces and was no longer complete.
And these spatial vortexes that kept appearing should be the entrances to fragment worlds.
After realizing what was going on, Roy could put the space magic he had learned in Ashan to good use. Flying here could not produce a displacement effect. Only by using the anchor point theory in space magic could he pull himself forward.
After finally finding a way to move, he waited for a relatively close spatial vortex to appear. He immediately set the vortex as an anchor point and pulled himself into it.
After he plunged into the vortex, light appeared in front of him the next second, and he appeared in a fragment world. Flames. This world was full of raging flames, and an enormous surging magma river flowed freely on the plains. But what was strange was that the source of this magma river appeared abruptly on a vertical plane, as though… magma was flowing out of nothingness, giving him a weird feeling.
In other words, that should be a breakpoint in space, right? Roy looked at the source thoughtfully. He realized that these so-called shattered spaces did not seem to be completely independent. They seemed to have some mysterious connection with other spaces. Otherwise, this strange situation would not have occurred.
He spread his wings and flew high in the sky to investigate this fragment world. After flying for a while, he found that this fragment world was very small.
