57 I Still Cant Do It (1/2)
”What do you think? I think it's not bad to do things like that time to time” The guild master told Arima. The latter silently flipped through the folder and then put it down on the table.
”Well, that could be fun” Arima answered. Lanya who was curious, took the doc.u.ment Arima just put down and started reading it. The more she did, the brighter her expression became.
”Please do it!” She stood up and said to Arima with obvious enthusiasm. Lilis was surprised and took the folder from Lanya's hands and read it quickly, Night also jumped on her shoulder to read it. After that, Lilis's expression wore a huge smile while Night jumped on Arima's shoulder.
”Why not?” He just said and waved his paw. Arima glanced at him and sighed and stared at the guild master ”Sure, I'll do it” He said
The master beamed with a big smile ”Thank you, I'll hope this will be a good experience for you” He said and gave Arima a letter ”Bring this to 'FDA' (Future's Dream Academy) in five days”
Arima took the letter and stored it, he then stood up ”Ok, I'll do it. But give me some dungeons to clear too, I would be bored otherwise” He said and the master wryly smiled. He walked toward a small closet and opened it, he took out to maps and gave them to Arima ”These are the hardest dungeons for now, I am supposed to send an SSS and a SS at those two locations in a week, but if you can finish it, there won't be any problem for you to attack it” He explained
”Thanks” Arima smiled, he waved the maps and made them disappear. He signaled Lanya and Lilis and left the room with them.
Back in the streets, Arima's group walked out of the guild, the sun was already setting down.
”I'm already eager to be five days later” Lilis said and Lanya wore a happy smile. Arima looked at them and shrugged. He then concentrated on city's map he had made, he looked for the nearest Inn and directly headed there.
”By the way, Lilis” While they were walking, Arima suddenly asked.
”What it is?” She responded ”Do you have another question?” She asked with a smile.
”Who is the owner of that golden light?” Arima asked, unfazed.
”Ah, you realized after all” Lilis haplessly said
”Of course, that light wasn't something a human created, it was clearly something at least a G.o.d could do” Arima said ”More importantly, I already stumbled upon the same light before” He added
”You're right, you clashed with it in your fight with the Emperor” Lilis said ”Even though you overpowered it with darkness magic” She laughed and commented ”Well, basically, he's a Heaven G.o.d, he's not that strong among us, but he is still powerful. He has absolute dominance over Light and Fire. His name is Tiatus, he is a well-known G.o.d for having a huge number of believers on the lower worlds” She told to Arima ”Now that I think about it, why did the bell ring for you? It shouldn't be Tiatus directly aiming at you, he doesn't have time to do this kind of prank” She asked
”I think it's my death aura that alerted it” Arima said ”There were still some remnants from last time that I didn't get rid of, so maybe it took me for a real undead and then tried to kill me”
”I see” Lilis nodded. While they were talking, they reached an Inn. Arima rented two rooms, one for him and Night and another for Lanya and Lilis.
”You can sleep with us if you want” Lanya tilted her head and said almost too much innocently.
Arima looked blankly at her ”No” He said simply and entered his room with Night. Lilis shrugged and entered in the other room with Lanya.
When Arima entered his room, he directly sat down on the bed and used his dimensional magic. When he was on the other side, he started working one more time on his eight elements, the eight colors were merging together, sometimes it would be rainbow, it could be totally white or black, and also transparent. All kinds of results but, Arima never succeeded.
Night was silently watching and then looked around the room they were in, of course, in the other dimension. And he sighed internally, Arima had actually disrupted time when he created a path to this dimension.
Now, an hour pa.s.sed here only amounted to a minute in the original dimension, meaning an hour in the normal world amounted to two days and a half in the dimensional world. Although it took more mana, it also was a lot more efficient.
Night slightly shook his head, he left the Inn and started training outside, he could destroy anything he wanted since it wasn't the real world.
******************************************
The next day, Lanya and Lilis woke up and left their room to take their breakfast. Arima only got out an hour later.
He had spent all the night in the other side, basically, he just lived twenty days in the span of a night. But he didn't look tired or any different compared to how he was before going in his room.
When Lilis saw Arima, her expression changed though ”You, you're in the second sky already” She said with disbelief ”How did you break through in one night? No, even before that, I should have been able to feel it” She continued to mumble alone.
Arima ignored her and asked for some milk from the staff of the Inn, he then took out a cake and started eating with Lanya. Night also began to eat a plate of food; the biggest advantage of this body was the fact that he didn't need to eat that much to be full.
”Wait, I felt some time magic, but I thought it was just you playing around” She suddenly envisaged something. She turned wide eyed toward Night who was idly eating ”Night, when was the last time you saw me?” She asked
Night looked at her and tilted his head ”Mh, around twenty days ago maybe?” He answered and Lanya spat out some water. While Lilis turned in shock toward Arima.
”You actually created a s.p.a.ce and time independent dimension” She muttered ”Even for a Life Hunter, there's limits…” She realized she was losing it so she just sat down and started eating while looking at the sky, ah no, the roof.
”Well, I was actually trying to do something else, the breakthrough was just a bonus” Arima finally said
Lilis smiled wryly ”If you spent twenty days on something then that means it's already mastered” She said.
”No, actually, I still can't do it” Arima said with a helpless expression.
