100 Chaos Part 1 (2/2)
Wallace sighed at this. He was trying to find his escape route but the spaceship exhausted it's Aether, with 3% remaining it wouldn't be enough for his escape and due to system's policy the ship wouldn't fly if Aether was less than 5%.
”The Aether should still be more than 50% before I gone outside and died, so something consumed it. Aether is a type of energy that wouldn't just disappear. Without GH Drive to utilize the Aether, no other engine should be capable of using the Aether. This is really weird, I have a lot of questions but no one could answer me... ah! Perhaps...” Wallace was thinking too much and forgot that he could still ask Avalon. He took a deep breath and started with a question that he had been curious about for a long time.
”What's the purpose of your existence?”
[ The Spaceship X23A6 A Corvette-Class based on Horun Empire's standard was made for the purpose of harnessing the Sacred Relic. ]
”Hmm... What's this Sacred Relic?” Wallace asked again but he already had an idea about the answer.
The image of a luminous cube appeared on the wide screen. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
'Just like what I thought... The Pathfinder calls it Cube of Paradox and the A.I. calls it Sacred Relic'
”Avalon, are you aware of the capabilities of this relic?”
[ Not fully aware but there are 18 of them listed from the discoveries made by severel specialist. The limitation of the Relic hasn't fully explored yet. ]
'I see, so the information probably came from my mother's research group. Heh, too bad they were not even aware of the real name of the relic. The A.I.'s information regarding the cube was definitely from the researcher's hard work.'
”Ok then, tell me what's Over-Trace Protection?”
[ It is a portion of an energy that came from the Sacred Relic that was being used to protect the ship from any infiltration or damage ]
”Oh? Does it also protect the bio-armour outside?”
[ Yes, but it was not controlled by this Artificial Intelligence. ]
'Great... So it was probably the Cube who controlled it so as to protect that body.'
Wallace asked a bit more but there's no information about the cube's relation on this planet at all, at least he learned that the Cube had actually consumed the remaining Aether of this ship. He asked for it's details but couldn't processed it on his head right now, he could only set aside his curiousity until he escaped here.
His Amplified Assault Armor had long since been removed and he was only on his casual clothes so he took them out again and wore the armour that was now compressed to fit in his suit case. He opened his palm and touched the armour. After waiting for 3 seconds, the armour recognized his identity and shuddered slightly before spreading to Wallace's body starting from his right hand that touched the armour.
Wallace calmly waited for the armour to fully cover himself. He then picked up his other equipments especially a pocket watch amongst them.
He held it in his right hand as he readied to go outside. He was confident at the moment since he learned about what could 19% of Over-Trace do for them.
As he was about to move out. An explosion was heard and an earthquake shook the whole place.

”Ho~ Intruders? You have some guts.” Chalice was standing in front of the two members of Lucent Force. Of course, they've hidden their faces to avoid being recognized.
Chalice was about to engage in battle with the two intruders but an explosion on the east side of the dome was heard. The dome trembled for a bit before a part of it rumbled and got destroyed.
”Diversion? Hmph!” Chalice left four Adepts inside the dome. He was confident that they would at least be capable of defending the place until he finished off this two magicians.
”Haaah!” A shout was heard coming from Owl when he noticed that Chalice was just looking at the east. A burst of blue fire came from his palm as it slithered through Chalice's defense.
Eagle didn't stay idle as he took out his sword and slashed it into Chalice's body.
The combination of the attack would normally weaken the defense of the magician but Chalice wasn't normal. His Mana Shell's structure was something different. After the two attacks landed, Chalice released his Mana Pressure. Owl jump back to try avoiding the pressure but it was futile.
”Tsk. So it was really like this. Just delay him as much as we can.” Owl noticed that their attack was incapable of even scratching their opponents defense so he quickly made decision to distance themselves and delay the fight as much as possible.
”Understood.”
At the east side of the dome, the three members of Lucent Force assigned to cause diversion was trying to escape the pursuit of multiple Battle Mage-level guards. But they were prepared for this as before they used a mana artifact to destroy the part of the dome, they already created an escape route for their survival.
”Should we send one?” One of the four Adepts guarding the spaceship said.
”Chalice told us to stay and guard this place no matter what.” Another one with an old man's voice said as he closed his eyes and felt the surroundings.
”Chalice said that he was sure that the armoured being was inside this ancient technology. If that escaped here, it would be Chalice himself that would deal with us.” The third Adept said as she calmly assessed the situation.
”That's right. Anyway, he was only facing two Adept Mage at intermediate level.” The same old man's voice was heard again as he felt the Mana fluctuation outside.
As the four was guarding the area where the spaceship landed. One sneaky figure was observing and listening to their conversation.
