1163 Shards of the Sky Part 1 (1/2)

Saleen had someone stand guard outside and did not bring Sika in. He brought Daniel and Isabella instead.

They were not high level mages, but since the temple was built in a place with so much human traffic, the Goddess of Myers' personality dictated that she would not place something terrifying.

Furthermore, Saleen wielded the powers of the Puppet World Realm, making him practically immune to being surrounded. The territorial powers were greater than even his own, and bringing Nailisi and the others would not make much of a difference.

Saleen's family badge was filled with energy. The Thunder Dragon Blaster only needed an hour to cool down, and 24 level 11 spells were infused within the Starline Robe.

Saleen no longer needed to be as cautious and meticulous, and he no longer shirked things, as long as the enemy did not possess greater equipment.

Daniel and Isabella both knew that Saleen was making things up to them. Every single person that Saleen brought into temples had something to gain. Daniel was swamped with day-to-day affairs.

If it had not been for a lesser noble like Daniel working hard when Metatrin City was first established, Saleen would not have had time to attend to other matters.

As for Isabella, she had been away for quite some time and Saleen hoped that she would be able to brush up on her powers as soon as possible to become capable of truly serving him.

Her ordeal would either enhance her unique skills or pose an obstacle for advancement.

Saleen did not want Isabella to give so much o following him and end up gaining nothing in the end.

The portals to the temples were all different and this one had some light in it. Saleen's Elemental Eye scanned it and found the light emanating from phosphor. Phosphor could originate from bones, which was precisely what had happened in the temple.

It was unknown how many magic beasts and humans died in the portal, leaving behind piles of bones. The phosphor from some bones were capable of burning for hundreds of thousands of years.

The bones had natural magic patterns on them. Bones with magic patterns were a sign that the creatures were level 12 or above when they were alive. Saleen was elated to see the bones and said to Daniel, \”You, Aini, and the Winged Skull can split the bones.\”

Saleen knew that despite having become a level eight sorcerer, Daniel lacked decent space equipment, so he grabbed them for Daniel. The bones were of high enough level for crafting powerful spirit equipment.

The portal ended after six miles. There were no temples at the end, only the remains of a huge battlefield. Bones and armor pieces littered the ground. Broken weapons and large scale equipment laid about.

There were even huge puppets that were practically torn to pieces, the sheen in their eyes long gone.

It seemed that millions had duked it out there. Judging from the quality of the broken weapons, the battlefield was ancient. Saleen frowned and took to the air, scanning the area with his Elemental Eye. He did not find the edge of the battlefield nor any signs of the temple.

This is impossible. If the Ring of Gifts was able to open up a portal, that means that this is where Myers built her temple. The Elemental Eye can see over a hundred miles away. Why isn't the temple in sight?

His Ring of Gifts was able to detect temples. Even if his Elemental Eye happened to be blocked by divine spells, it would not be able to escape the Ring of Gifts' detection.

The sky was pitch black but there was light. Aini and Isabella were both capable of seeing their surroundings using skills.

\”My liege, the air here seems thin,\” Isabella said to Saleen.

\”This is not Myers Mainland, but some independent space that the goddess created to hide the temple.\”

\”No, it's not. This is an interdimensional space!\” Daniel did not fall into inertial thinking and found the problem quicker than Saleen.

An interdimensional space?

Saleen was elated. Raphael had been able to find an interdimensional space, preventing him from being hunted by the Lord of Light. Fycro wanted to find an interdimensional space in the hopes of amassing his own believers.

Interdimensional spaces were precious and rare. Saleen would have to build a city rivaling the Holy Rock City to conceal the secret teleportation portal.

The interdimensional space he found was even more precious, as it was probably very near the Myers Mainland. The goddess was incapable of opening a stable portal, resorting to using teleportation portals instead.

\”My liege, it'd be quite a loss for us to give this city to the southwestern nobles!\” Isabella developed a keen eye for precious commodities. She knew that the equipment and high level bones were nowhere near as valuable as the interdimensional space itself.

Saleen hesitated for a bit. If he advanced to the next level, he would be capable of creating plane coordinates, making it easier to link the interdimensional space with Myers Mainland. The cost of getting to Myers Mainland from that interdimensional space was far less than Raphael's.

The air there was thin and there were hardly any plants. There were few stars in the sky, which was probably blocked by the air. There were thick clouds floating in the sky. They had no idea if the interdimensional space was growing about to collapse.
