Chapter 293 - 246 : Returning it To Its Rightful Owner (1/2)

”So this is where the forgotten continent is.”

”Technically, it's not forgotten but isolated. A sage from the past cast a powerful illusion barrier around it, separating it from the rest of the world to spare it from the catastrophe that occurred ten thousand years ago. I guess, in a way, that sage knew about the dangers that'll befall on Astria and decided to act early.”

The copy was also amazed by the level of the Illusion spell, it was the first time he saw something of this level, it's definitely not someone any illusion Magic expert could do.

”The great library is the center of the continent, right?”

”It should be, Zodiak's notes are always accurate.”(copy)

Arthur nodded his head and raised his hand, clawing the air with his fingers as soft and thin invisible threads twirled around him.

The threads wrapped around his body, creating a white armor that seemed pretty fragile.

The next step was injecting this armor with a mind-numbing amount of Demonic Lightning.

”Spending twenty years learning about illusions and how to bypass or break them was indeed not a waste of time. At least I don't need to tell you what to do everytime you encounter a hurdle.”

Like [Transcendence], Arthur's body became covered with weird-looking black lightning, it was soundless and calmer than any other form of lightning. As he proceeded forward, the fog several meters around him began dispersing, creating a small path, barely enough for him to pass.

Although he had a speed that's almost unmatchable, Arthur slowly proceeded into that illusion spell, not wanting to either break it or raise a huge disturbance.

Those kinds of illusions aren't just to mislead the invaders from outside, they can kill anyone that tries to use brute force to barge in. It has been present from more than ten millenniums.

Around three hours later, a large piece of land entered Arthur's view. It was a desert with high mountains of sand and a hot weather dominating the area.

”The spell is cast only around the continent, so it's fine if you travel faster now.”

In response, Arthur discarded the lightning armor and ripped space with his bare hands and casually entered, appearing millions of miles away. In a world like Astria, where it's not even considered a Low-Realm, space is more fragile thus he can travel long distances this easily.

In comparison, Arthur could only travel for a few thousand miles with each leap in the Green-leaf Word. As for ripping the space of a High-Realm, it's a doable feat but the traveled distance would be meager and using normal lightning to move around would be much more efficient.

With his new map that had enlarged range and his sense, which got a huge boost, that could cover more than half of this continent. Arthur was able to locate his destination.

As he was about to rip space and leap a second time to appear at the center of the continent, Arthur sensed a familiar energy fluctuation not far away from him.

unexpectedly, there was no remark from his copy, who would never shut up when something out of the worm appears. Making use of his sense, Arthur pinpointed the exact location of the source of this familiar energy.

He leaped in space and appeared some distance away from where the sensation from earlier was felt. Upon a closer look, approximately four hundred meters away from him, on the top of a tall mountain that reached the clouds, there was a battle occurring.

One was a Dark Dragon that was a bit weaker than Yamak and the other was a party of five people. From what he's seeing, Arthur guessed that the dragon was winning as one of the five was gravely injured, two of his comrades were protecting him from the AoE attacks the enemy was unleashing.

Arthur inspected the five of them one by one then shifted his attention back to the first target he appraised, it was a dark-haired young man with pale skin and an expressionless face.

He wore a dusty dark-armor and wielded a two-handed sword made from some kind of Black Steel.

'It's definitely him. This energy... it's similar to Dark Magic yet much more ominous and unsettling.'

For the first time since reincarnation, Arthur encountered some type of Magic that made him feel uncomfortable and uneasy. It was chilling and threatening despite the fact that the young man was merely Lv198.

He first thought of ignoring this kid and resume his mission but he was stopped by his copy:

”Stop! I need you to give him something?”

”Give him something? Do you know him?”
