In the node of the magic net

Link could see that the figure in front of him was not actually a Yabba but was merely using a Yabba body.

In the game, this sort of body-changing ability often appeared on Mysterious-travel Magicians in the early part of the game. Meanwhile, in the later parts, it usually appeared on strong existences from the Void.

The person in front of him was most likely not some Mysterious-travel Magician. Most likely, he was from the Void, someone able to travel across dimensions. Anyway, it was without a doubt that he was strong, at least Legendary level.

There were many titles for such existences, such as Travel Magician, Dimension Traveler, Astral Mages, etc.

They were always very strong and very mysterious, choosing not to participate in worldly affairs and appearing as they pleased.

When the person in front of him with fiery red hair and transparent eyes said that he meant no harm and was “merely curious,” Link was reminded of a particular NPC from the game.

In the game, the NPC was called Aisenis, and he titled himself a “Travel Magician.” However, at that time, he was using an elf’s body. He would appear in random places around Firuman in a completely arbitrary manner.

No one knew how strong he actually was. The only thing that could be confirmed was that no one in Firuman could actually hurt him.

In the later parts of the game, when the Lord of the Abyss Nozama personally descended, and the player’s party invaded the demon fortress, Aisenis went into the fortress afterwards. What happened was that Nozama completely ignored the fellow. Based on Nozama’s character, him choosing to ignore Aisenis showed that he had no way to deal with him.

With strangers, Aisenis might seem threatening. However, once you got to know him, he would start to seem more and more like a child. His greatest pleasure was ostensibly watching exciting things happen, according to what he said. However, whether or not this was true or just an excuse, nobody knew.

He was famous for his line, “Don’t mind me; I mean no harm. I’m purely curious.”

Link probed, “Pardon me, are you a Travel Magician?”

Immediately, the Yabba’s expression softened and he let out a smile. “Aha, given how young you look, I never thought that you’d be so well-informed. Since you know that I am a Travel Magician, that makes things so much easier.”

The small figure paced around the room and introduced, “My name is Aisenis Gray. As you can see, I am a Travel Magician. I came to Firuman to… well, you could say I’m here to watch the show.”

“Watch the show?” Link asked. Even though it was Aisenis, Link still found the answer to be strange.

This was because, in the game, Aisenis only appeared in the later parts when Nozama personally came. However, right now, Nozama had yet to come. What exciting show was there for Aisenis to watch?

Aisenis was really excited now that he had found someone to talk to. He jumped up and down as he said, “Of course, of course! You must know that a fracture has opened in the space of Firuman, don’t you?”

Link nodded.

Aisenis beamed as he continued, “In the sea of the Void, each dimension is like a boat. This boat now has a hole, and the large beasts in the sea are eyeing the feast on this boat… to put it simply, this beast is called Fegnoni Rosenp Del Romans Dallasville, also known as the Pale Hunter. Of course, he has another name, the God of Destruction.”

Link felt his heart thumping. He forced himself to calm down and continued asking questions. “Is he here yet?”

In the game, the God of Destruction had appeared for a brief moment. However, at that time, the whole of Firuman was busy dealing with Nozama and did not pay much attention to him. Furthermore, he had appeared in a quiet corner of the world and did not make much commotion.

Some people had speculated that the God of Destruction was the final boss after Lord Nozama. However, since Aisenis was already here, does it mean that the God of Destruction would be here early too?

That was not good news.

Aisenis shook his head. “No, no, no, it’s not that fast. He’s a giant beast and moves very slowly. Furthermore, he is very crafty and suspicious. He would surely send out scouts to verify the situation before acting. This is an extremely exciting hunt that I think is worth watching.”

As he said this, Aisenis looked curiously at Link. “I don’t understand one thing. You’ve already gotten the ability to travel between dimensions. If Firuman is destroyed, all you need to do is run to another dimension. What’s there to be afraid of?”

Link thought for a while before asking, “I’ve heard that Travel Magicians are very wise and knowledgeable. Do you have any way to repair the fracture?”

Aisenis looked at Link and laughed. “Repair it? Of course! I understand now. You just gained this ability, and although you have the strength, you haven’t shaken off your attachment to the mortals of this world. Alright, I do indeed have a way to repair it, but why would I want to do it? You must know, the moment I do it, that would offend Fegnonini. He would be after me then.”

At this point, most people would give up and retreat. However, Link knew from his experience in the game how to deal with this fellow. Aisenis had another favorite saying, “There is nothing in this world that cannot be exchanged.”
