191 Soul Guardian Beas (1/2)
Gabriel's control over the Law of Space is impressive and the six of them were traveling at an unbelievable speed through The Ocean of a Thousand Wonders.
There was a crystal sphere containing the group and was protecting them. This was a high-level application of the Law of Space that was constructed by the Second Prince through the compression of space around them.
The sphere was very thin, and yet its defensive might was amazingly high. And that was not all since the momentum of it was constantly increasing, along with its speed, making the kinetic energy it was generating soar.
Zatiel was surprised by the high level of law comprehension that Gabriel was displaying despite being so young and having no help from a bloodline. It was clear he has great talent and was hard working.
The route the Second Prince took was a straight one. Whenever there were storms or some other type of phenomenon in their path, the sphere just pierces through them and break everything with its might.
The crystal sphere remained very high in the sky for a long part of the journey when all of a sudden it descended until it was less than a couple of thousands of meters from the ocean surface.
The group was surprised by Gabriel's action but soon they got an answer when they hear an explosion so loud that seems like if the sky was falling apart. A fight between incredibly powerful life forms was happening above them.
However, before Heinz and the rest could start to feel happy about distancing from that apocalyptic battle, from the ocean an octopus tentacle appears right in front of them.
It was so wide and long that covered the sun and filled the group with shadows.
Unlike what they thought it will happen, Gabriel did not slow down or changed the trajectory of the crystal sphere.
The energy of the Second Prince rises and spatial cracks started to appear around the sphere. This made its offensive might reach a whole new level.
The gargantuan tentacle did not remain still and like a whip, it slashes at the group, making gales form around it.
When the tentacle and the crystal sphere clashed against each other a shock wave that created a vacuum in the ocean was generated.
The sphere stopped for an instant before the spatial cracks managed to destroy the skin of the tentacle, allowing the sphere to pierce it.
A roar of fury was heard from the bottom of the ocean but the sphere did not stop after piercing the tentacle and before this one could attack again, the sphere disappeared into the distance.
Gabriel was not willing to truly fight against that magic creature since he had to protect the group he was traveling with.
The shockwave that their clash produced was enough to disintegrate a Peak Rank 3 life form at a molecular level. And those strikes were not anywhere near the strongest attacks the magic creature or the Magus could display.
After a couple of minutes, the sphere raised once again into the sky and the rest of their journey went pretty uneventful.
It was only when they reached the shore that the energy on the Magus subsided and the crystal sphere disappeared.
”We have reached the land controlled by the Aeternum Empire, I will leave now. You can use the tablet that I gave you to contact me, even if we are in different worlds, but I may take a long time to respond. When I train or during an important mission, I don't pay attention to my tablet.” Gabriel's face was calm as he spoke and it seems that this travel and the encounter with that magic creature did not have any effect on him.
”Thank you for your help and please tell your Royal Father that I will visit him and thank him in person when I reach Rank 4.” Zatiel has a very good impression of the Second Prince.
Gabriel nods and concentrates the power of space inside his body before disappearing. Now that he did not have to worry about anyone else, his speed was much greater.
Zatiel did not waste time and once they were alone he made two crystals appear, one for Totto and the other for Zitra.
”In the crystals is the information about how to remove the curse in the Hand of Sorrow and the Eye of Despair, and the information about the Path of Gods necessary to handle the problem with the dagger.”
The duo took the crystal and was very happy but they remained silent while waiting for further instructions.
The next person Zatiel focus was on Heinz.
