Chapter 503: Gold Automatons (1/2)

Compared to the first time, I was the one who moved first towards the Gold Automatons.

It was to show the two girls the strength of these new enemies we encountered.

Actually, we could go on a different route to avoid them but, it's a waste to pass on the chance to get something useful from the cart they were escorting and transporting.

Phantasmic Doppelganger!

Conjuring four clones that possessed the strength of early Rank 2 Transcendent, I used them to create a distraction. Each of the clones used different Pathway Skills pulling at least 10 Gold Automatons' attention to themselves.

Because of that, I used the Void Concealment to silently approach the cart and scan its contents.

This ability was once one of my trump cards back then. Hiding through the void to escape or create an opportunity to deal a fatal blow could be said to be my specialty.

I could be compared to an assassin back then.

However, with Yuko and the girls always with me, I wasn't always using this ability.

Most of the time, I used it to steal something. Like a ten thousand years old sacred ore containing a Heavenfire Essence from an Elemental-type Sage World.

Ah. Heavenfire.

It's another Mystical Flame just like Jayna's Earthfire Essence that I had her absorb back in the Ancient Ruin.

With my memory back, the true nature of the Mystical Flame I had Jayna absorbed was also remembered by me.

Those Mystical Flames was just one of the wonders that could be found in any Level 3 Elemental-type Sage World.

They were actually collectively called the Mystical Elements. Both Earthfire and Heavenfire that I just mentioned falls under the Mystical Flame category.

And among every mystical flame, Heavenfire is supposed to be the strongest Mystical Flame that could be found in an Elemental-type Sage World.

The Mystical Elements followed the traditional five Elements that were actually known here on modern Earth. That's why apart from the Mystical Flames, there were Water, Earth, Metal and Wood Essences that could be absorbed by someone or used on a Formation or any other method such as Talismans, Spells, Technology and a lot more one could think of.

The strength and the rarity of these Mystical Elements were categorized by the prefixes attached to them such as Heaven, Sky, Earth and Saint.

And with that information, it basically meant that Jayna's Earthfire Essence was just in the middle rung. Nonetheless, it's still a rare Mystical Element that couldn't be found anywhere.

For it to be found inside that Ancient Ruins when it was a chunk of a higher Spirit-type World, someone deliberately left that there. Perhaps it was part of a larger formation, who knows?

I guess we might visit that place one more time before truly leaving the Earth. From my memory, I still couldn't recognize that Incarnation of the old gentleman. Perhaps, he's not really as famous as he claimed to be or he became famous after what happened to Earth. Either way, there were answers I needed to get from him. For example, the war that the World's Will mentioned.

Ah. Wait. I was getting sidetracked. I better scan this now before they detect me!

I left the confines of the Void Dimension and immediately spread open my Energy Senses to immediately scan the contents of the cart these Gold Automatons were transporting.

This was actually the only way to scan its contents.

The cart was made from a special material. Unless one was near its proximity, one wouldn't be able to scan its contents. Furthermore, the cart was also preventing any leak of Source Energy from its cover, making it harder for any thief who would have designs to it to know what they were stealing.
