Chapter 51 - Your Leaders Feelings. (1/2)

They kept thinking but no idea came out, other than destroying it they didn't have other options at hand.

Yusa looked at it and said.

”The best way would be if we had a formation to stop the flow, it would not damage the gate while stopping any spiritual energy from entering.”

Ao couldn't help but comment

”But we don't have any here at moment, the only way would be to go back to the city and see if we can acquire one, should we go back first?”

Krune and the other pondered a bit about it.

”It seems like our only option at moment, we shouldn't waste too much time just in case, we can also take this chance to buy a few things that might be necessary, we can even set up a cover, when we go back, we go to the guild and accept another mission for this Danger Zone, this way no one in the Headquarters or in Kaley City branch were we are registered will grow suspicious with our long time spent in here, Shinja is bound to a blood contract to protect me, so she following us is just obvious.”

They nodded, that was indeed a good idea.

After concealing the entrance to the gate, they immediately moved back, this time they didn't stop for anything and moved at full speed, what had taken one week before, this time only took four days to arrive back at the city.

After arriving, they immediately parted ways, Shinja and Yusa went to buy a formation runestone to stop the flow of spiritual energy, Krune and Ao went to the guild to apply for a new mission inside the Raskie Danger Zone, they specially chose one that didn't look too easy but took a lot of time to complete.

They also bought two puppets each in case they have a need to send it to try some dangerous or suspicious place or situation.

The group also bought a few items that might be helpful and then gathered back at the city gate, this time they are really ready for what is coming.

”Shall we go?”

Everyone nodded and signed their departure at the entrance, after that they immediately moved straight away back to secret realm gate.

Another four days passed on the way back, as expected, no one found the gate entrance, which is obvious, it had been hidden down there for millenniums without anyone notice, let alone in just a little more than a week.

Once back inside, Yusa started to set up the formation runstone to stop the spiritual energy flow from the gate from passing through.

”It's ready, spiritual energy has stopped, I bought a Four Stars spiritual energy lock formation runestone this time, it was very expensive, this secret realm is better give me a good return.”

Krune asked something

”How long will the runestone formation last?”

”Five days, this should be more than enough for us to deal with the illusion core I believe.”

They nodded and moved back to the core of the illusion formation.

Yusa and Shinja took a look and said

”It is still working fine, but that is to be expected, we have just cut of the flow of spiritual energy, it will take some time for the spiritual energy inside to be used as well.”

Krune then said.

”Let's attack the barrier, it won't break but will still accelerate the spiritual energy consumption, the fast we finish it the better.”

Everyone accepted the idea and started attacking it while managing their spiritual energy, they would use at most 30% to 40% of their spiritual energy before sitting down and recover it to their peak, in case something happen they will still be in shape to battle.

Time passed and it had already been a day since they started to attack the barrier, by now it was already very dim, it wouldn't be long before it broke and they got access to the core formation, finally, after a lot of effort, the barrier disappeared.

Only then could they destroy the core of the formation, but before that Krune asked.

”Do we need to destroy it? Can't we simply take it away and put in our spatial rings?”

Shinja shook her head.

”The core of a formation is one with the formation itself, you would need to be able to keep the entire formation in you spatial ring to be able to take it away, unless you knew how to deactivate it of course.”

Krune shook his head, he has absolutely no idea how to do that, he was hopping to take it back to sell in the city later, it probably is worth quite some spirit stones even if it is a relic from thousands of years ago.

'Maybe I should try to join the formations guild too, it could come in hand in a situation like this is the future.'

Since that was the case, they immediately attacked together, it showed some resistance but still broke apart in the end, it wasn't made for fending off attacks in the first place anyway.

As soon as the formation core was broken they felt like the part of the city where they were started to tremble, they immediately went up to check what was happening, when they got outside they noticed that the landscape changed, not only that, but an enormous amount of spiritual energy rushed at them, it was several times higher than what they had outside, it would be worth even if they simply stopped to cultivate here.

The city that looked the same before now seemed completely different, Krune jumped over a build and looked in the distance.

”I can see the end of the city now, on the opposite side should be the city center, where you wanna go first?”

Yusa immediately said

”To the center of course, we already spent so much time and we are still in the same place, if there is something good, it's definitely there.”

The other also agreed with that, but then Krune asked.

”What if this is not the only illusion formation covering this city? We were lucky that we entered that formation through its spiritual energy source, so it was easy to find the core, but it won't happen next time.”

This time it was Shinja that answered.

”No need to worry, we can use our communicators map function to escape the next ones, before, we couldn't do that because we could only put markers inside of the formation, so it was useless to use it to escape outside, but if the marker is outside, then it's easier, we just need to follow it to leave the formation, even though it will look like that we are walking in circles, in fact we will be moving straight forward outside the formation.”
