Chapter 116 - Not Enough Energy. (1/2)
Mile was faster than Krune, so they took less than a day to arrive at the entrance of the gate. But because everyone was looking for the super wisp, they were stopped by Divine Soul Realm demon beasts twice. At first, they demanded them to turn back into their original forms. Too bad, though. Mile took out a token of the Mercenary Guild and told them who Krune was.
Divine Soul Realm cultivators and demon beasts have ways to communicate with others outside the danger zone. So after they heard who Krune was, they immediately gave up the idea of finding trouble with him. After all, the chances of any of those two to be the supposed super wisp was just way too small.
After arriving at the right altitude, their vision warped around. A second later, Krune and Mile could see the elemental gate open. Shinja and Yusa were there, keeping the concealing formations activated. When they saw krune and Mile together, they were taken aback.
”Mile!”
Mile just laughed and said.
”It's been some time.”
Shinja and Yusa looked puzzled at Krune.
”I will explain another time, I'm going inside now. Yusa, you come with me to help with the formations set up.”
Shinja stayed outside to keep guard, and the rest entered the gate. They then teleported to the inner city, and Krune called Hasik over. Mile looked at that and was impressed with the place, not to mention the sheer amount of wisps. She couldn't help but ask what was happening. Krune then called Lakin over and told him to explain everything about the Rainbow Sect to her.
Krune was just about to ask Hasik what he should take with them when suddenly, an explosion happened in the distance. Immediately after that, the entire dimension started to rumble!
”What is happening here?!”
Hasik concentrated in the Dimension Formation and soon found out the answer.
”They broke the outer shell of the dimension. It was a lot faster than I thought, though. I guess there is at least one or two Soul Forming Realm cultivators or demon beasts with the.”
Krune was alarmed after hearing that.
”Does it mean that the dimension will collapse soon?”
Hasik shook his head.
”It seems like those Soul Forging Realm guys are using their power to keep the dimension stable. They are putting a lot of effort into this quick invasion too. The dimension will not collapse in the end, either. But it was still a risky move. If they were just a bit off during their attacks, the dimension would have started collapsing already.”
Krune understood why they were in a hurry, it is because they already found out that someone is inside. They are afraid that their treasures are being taken away without even knowing. Hasik then checked the dimension formation once more and said.
”The Soul Forging Realm guys stayed behind to stabilize the passage while the Divine Soul Realm ones are coming. But they all fell inside the illusion formations. It will all depend on how long it will take for them to perceive the illusion formation and break out of it.”
Krune knew that he didn't have time anymore and immediately asked what he should bring with him.
Hasik then passed the order for everyone to help gather the equipment necessary. At the same time, Krune set up the formation to compress the part of the dimension that he wanted to bring out with him.
One hour later, everything they needed was already inside the corner of the inner city that would be used. It only required Krune to finish the formation now, but that wasn't easy. Although Yusa had some knowledge about formations, Runestone formations are different after all. So she could only help with some of the outline parts.
Krune was sweating all over. Now and then he would hear some explosion coming from the distance as well. Those Divine Soul Realm cultivators found out that they are inside the illusion formations, and now they are using brute force to deal with it.
”It's done! Everyone; get back.”
To take away part of an already existing dimension is a lot easier than making one. But because of Krune's cultivation Realm, it still was extremely hard. If not that Krune had Light Little, together with the Tribulation lightning, it would be impossible for him to compress it to put in the Spatial Box forcefully.
Krune then took a lot of spirit stones to help activate the formation. After that, a spherical barrier of around ten kilometers radius appeared inside the inner city. Everyone looked at that impressed, they could see the spatial ripples of silver light running around it. In the end, only formations can allow a low-level cultivator to manipulate spatial powers.
Krune looked at that barrier while controlling the formation. It then started shrinking little by little. But it took an entire hour to compress only 20% of the total size. Of course, the size of the space inside the barrier was still the same, it only looked smaller from the outside due to the spatial laws.
Suddenly, Hasik sent a message to Krune.
”Not good, the second gate entrance was found.”
Krune was alarmed! That was the gate he was going to use to escape later.
”What about Shinja?”
”Don't worry. Thanks to Yusa's Runestone Formations, she was able to detect the Divine Soul Realm cultivator's Divine Sense before it broke through the concealing formation. She immediately entered the gate before that guy could see her. She is coming here now.”
Krune nodded.
”Make sure to turn off the teleport formation that sends those from the second gate into the inner city.”
”I already did that.”
Krune was starting to feel worried, the time that the formation is taking to compress that land is too big. The illusion formations might not be able to stop the enemy for long enough. There is also the problem of the escape route, at this moment, he can only use the other two gates that are deeper inside the Danger Zone.
”Hasik, are the other two gates safe?”
”No, because of the illusion formations, the enemy in the outer city doesn't know the exact path to follow, so the third gate has quite a few cultivators or demon beasts nearby. Only the fourth gate is devoid of any presence for the moment.”
