Chapter 717: Back to Dalin (1/2)

Krune also talked with Franlia and asked her to look after the guys in the restaurant after he left. As for Franlia, it was the same as doing nothing since she could simply give an order, and her subordinates would take care of it.

Quickly, the days passed, and the time for Krune to leave finally came. He went to the place where he and Iem first appeared in the Godly Path Realm. Of course, Iem and a few others came to see him out too.

”Well then, I'll see you guys sometime later.”

Iem simply nodded, knowing that it wouldn't be too long before Krune was back. As for the others, they felt a bit more sentimental, especially Nina. Krune, of course, was happy to see all of that.

”Alright, alright. That's more than enough for now.”

Krune turned around and sent his Divine Sense into the Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher. Krune had received all the instructions from it after it finished recharging, so he knew how to proceed.

Krune had to use the Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher near the area he arrived. That would guarantee that the connected destination would also be near the place he and Iem came from. Simply put, Dalin.

As for operating it, there wasn't really a need for that. Once Krune gave the orders, the Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher would automatically open the passage for him.

Krune did exactly that. As soon as the order was received, the Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher disappeared from Krune's foundation and reappeared outside. Krune wasn't afraid of someone recognizing it. After all, Iem had already used his Devil Flame to seal it, just like Luvile could.

The pyramid-like equipment then began to spin at high speeds. At its tip, Spatial Laws of a level far above Krune and Iem's began to gather. Suddenly, the Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher shot some kind of silver ray forward.

However, that ray didn't go far. Just a few meters in front of them, that ray of silver light pierced through the fabric of space-time, disappearing inside. Not long after, a burst of Spiritual and Godly Energies came out of it. Yes, Spiritual Energy, the energy present in the Mortal Realm!

From around the Silver Ray, a tunnel began to form as the energy at its border spun just like the pyramid. It quickly increased in size until it finally stabilized at around 6 meters in diameter. Only then did the silver ray coming from the Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher disappear.

*Crack, crack, crack...*

*Shatter!*

Suddenly, the Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher burst apart into thousands of tiny pieces. Those pieces then turned into dust, which was quickly swept away by the wind. Sure enough, Zule wasn't lying. The Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher could only be used once.

As soon as the Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher was destroyed, the portal it had created began to slowly close as well. Krune looked at everyone with a smile but didn't say anything. Instead, he turned around a second later and shot inside the Spatial Gate.

Right behind him, Nina had a conflicted expression. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth once more and dashed in the direction of the portal as well.

Everyone sighed, seeing that.

”That girl really doesn't know when to give up.”

Nina ignored them and pressed forward.

Unfortunately for her, just as Nina was about to enter the Spatial Gate, her body was suddenly locked in place.

”Little girl, that's not a place you belong to. Sorry, but you will have to stay.”

Turned out that the one who stopped was Iem. Lino had told Iem that Nina might try something like that, so he asked Iem to stop her if necessary. Sure enough, it was what happened.

”Let go!”

Iem smiled as he shook his head.

”Not gonna happen.”

The portal quickly reduced in size until finally, it was gone. Only then did Iem release Nina from his Godly Energy Grasp.

”I hate you!”

Iem shrugged his shoulders in response.

”Actually, you don't. But yeah, I can see you are angry, at least. Anyway, the show is over. Let's go back, everyone.”

This place was quite far away from Immai City, so Iem was also acting as a guardian of this travel group. Lino and the others comforted Nina as they all began to make their way back to the city. They knew Nina very well. This girl couldn't really hate someone that easily. Once her anger disappeared, she would eventually forgive Iem as well. Well, it's not like Iem cared if she does it or not.

Dalin Universe, close to planet Caskin Planet...

That was the planet where Krune and Iem had their battle, the same one where the portal to the Godly Path Realm opened. Right in outer space, a Spatial Gate began to open. Surprisingly, that Spatial Gate seemed quite ordinary. Other than the fact that the surrounding Spiritual Energy entered it, there was nothing different.

Soon after, a rainbow-haired man stepped out. He looked to be in quite a bad shape, though. Thanks to Zule, Krune didn't have to pay any price to come down to the Mortal Realm. However, it didn't mean that travel would be pleasant. The Spatial Laws in the tunnel were terrifying! If not because Zule's Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher kept more than 99% of it out of the path, Krune would definitely have died inside. Nonetheless, Krune was hit by them quite a few times.
