Chapter 272 – Space Warp (2/2)

“What an impolite fellow!” Lucas mumbled. He thought he could brag about this to Luo Kun.

“This is Sky City?” In front of this massive fortress, even Reck and Lucas who had lived for who-knows-many years couldn’t help but reveal a shaken expression.

“This can rival a main city,” whispered Reck.

“Lad, you’ve struck gold.” Lucas patted Fatty’s shoulder.

Using three more days, Lucas finally finished drawing a huge magic formation in Sky City to correspond to the one on Holy Spirit Island.

“Time for a miracle!”

Lucas let out a shout, and the center of Sky City burst with a flash of brilliance as a massive light pillar shot to the sky.

Hoo… The sparse trees and rocks within the formation vanished without a trace.

“Hmm? What’s this?” Waiting for half a day without anything to happen after that, Fatty and Reck dubiously eyed Lucas.

“Dang!” Lucas smacked his forehead. “To teleport the island here, it’s the other formation that should be activated.”

Thud, thud. Fatty and Reck felt on the ground, speechless.

The trio hurried back to the Holy Spirit Island, where they saw some new stone pieces and wood shards, plus half the body of some strange monster.

“Hiss…” Fatty sucked in a cold breath as he and Reck looked at each other dumbly.

“Lucky, we’ve been lucky,” Reck exclaimed nonstop. “Luckily you mistook the direction, or else that would be our result.”

Reck pointed at the half body.

“Humph! You’re looking down on me?” Lucas bit his lip. He carefully re-checked the magic runes and fixed some faulty places.

“Now, time for the real miracle!” Lucas lifted the Space Sonic in his left hand.

“You sure there won’t be unexpected incidents?” Fatty asked Lucas, his tone obviously distrustful.

“What unexpected incidents? Just now was only a mistake. A mistake, you understand?!” Lucas viciously glared at Fatty, only when the latter backed down did he retract his glare in satisfaction.

“Now…” Lucas was about to operate the formation to activate the space warp.

“Wait a mo’!” Reck suddenly shouted.

“What now!?” Lucas was extremely irritated to be interrupted repeatedly.

“We’ll go to Sky City and wait there, take your time with the warp,” Reck said and gave Fatty a meaningful look, then teleported back to the Imperial Capital before Lucas could say anything.

“Wisdom truly comes with age. Elder, you’re so thoughtful,” said Fatty as he closely followed Reck.

“Heh, safety first. It’s not like we get anything for warping with him anyway. One in a million chances even if something happens, he’ll be fine with the Divine artifact protecting him, but my old body won’t be able to take it,” reasoned Reck.

The two waited roughly three hours at Sky City when suddenly, the huge magic formation at the center exploded and a wide and towering light pillar beamed into the sky. Amidst the rumbling, a mountainous shadow slowly emerged from within the pillar.

“Look, it’s here.” Fatty stared fixedly with eyes wide open at that shadow.

Rumble… Boom! An edge of the Holy Spirit Island was slowly revealed.

Creak, creak… A distinct sound resounded as huge cracks broke out on the ground within the magic formation and quickly branched. The light pillar also weakened slowly, its light not as blinding as before, seemingly about to disperse.

“Ahhh!” Lucas’ terrified scream echoed in the air.

“This is bad! Something really went wrong!” Reck paled in fright and frantically ran in circles. “What to do? What to do?!”

“No need to be alarmed. Master Lucas has the Divine artifact’s protection, there won’t be any danger even if his warp fails,” Fatty soothed.

“Peh, how is it any of my business he’s in danger or not? I’m only scared that the rifts will damage the Holy Spirit Island and consequently render Sky City scrapped from now on. Sky City still has my share, my share!” Reck flailed his limbs and shouted.

“What? Since when did Sky City have your share, elder?” Fatty hastily grasped Reck by the arm.

“Don't you want your city to have an Alchemy Grandmaster to oversee the medicine aspect? And also grab some Grand Magi and War Generals or something over here?” Reck quietened down and asked.

“Okay, what do you think of that area, elder? I can build you a huge mansion with a garden so that you can grow your herbs.” Fatty pointed at a place.

RUMBLE…

As the two prattled on, the entire Sky City shook as the Holy Spirit Island revealed half of its body.
