Beneath the Red Dragon-Chapter 266 - 98: Mage’s Wealth (Part 2)
The Holy Sanctuary Grandmaster took out an exceptionally pure Magic Crystal from his body, drawing pure Magic Power, and began constructing the Teleportation Gate according to his calculations.
"Hmm, the calculation results should be correct, but I still need to consider the impact of the Ether Energy turbulence from the Dark Ether World on the Teleportation Gate's path," muttered the White-haired Mage while drawing power from the Magic Crystal.
Yet a faintly discernible Teleportation Gate had gradually formed on the terrace, with countless Magic Runes condensing Magic Power, a gateway slowly opening to the people.
The rest of the High Tier Mages had also abandoned their futile attempts at calculating, realizing that for Lapus, the Holy Sanctuary Grandmaster, this was a challenge from the Ancient Mages, and for the other High Tier Mages, it was also considered an assessment from Lapus.
Because these Mages' calculation processes were required to be signed and submitted by Lapus, who would examine them one by one, this group of High Tier Mages was from the core ranks, students guided by Lapus.
"Hmm, you have finally succeeded, although I have waited for thousands of years, at this moment, I still feel a bit impatient."
The King of the Dark Ether World quietly descended, and at the moment of Chekov's arrival, the turbulent energies that filled the Void, wreaking havoc and striking the protective light shield of the continent, were all smoothed out, becoming as gentle as a cat being softly stroked by its master.
"Once you acquire the Mage's heritage, I will embark on my journey home. Karon, my unexpected friend, I hope you too can soon find your way home."
The purple king noticeably felt better, with his terrifying purple face distinctly exhibiting an exuberant expression, as he extended his invitation to Karon.
"Perhaps one day, you will come as a guest to my homeland, Karon, I'll let you taste the 'Life Water' from my hometown."
"The road home?" Karon thought to himself, although he harbored the desire to return home, this goal was not urgent for him, as impatience would only lead to inner turmoil. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"Thank you for your blessing, if I have the chance, I'll surely visit your homeland as a guest," Karon knew what the 'Life Water' the Ether Controller spoke of, but now he was a Giant Dragon, completely unafraid.
"Haha, then farewell, my friend," laughed the Ether Controller, his entire body purple and his head resembling a skull, as he turned and step by step disappeared into the Ethereal World, his form transforming from a terrifying Ether Controller into a medium-built young man in a neat but simple military uniform.
Karon felt touched at that moment and suddenly called out to the gradually distant Ether Controller, "Chekov, wait!"
Hearing the call from his friend, the young man in military uniform turned, wearing a helmet with a red star emblem shining on his chest, his face beaming with anticipation and excitement, humanity returning to this Ether Controller.
He laughed, "Is there anything you need me to help with, Karon?"
Karon's face, covered with formidable spines, managed to show a smile painfully, lightly said, "Nothing, take care, Chekov, no matter what happens in the future, I hope you remain your original self!"
"Haha, I will," the young Chekov paused, then smiled, waving to Karon before disappearing into the Dark Ether World.
Karon waved to this friend whom he wasn't quite familiar with, and followed the Mages who had long tested the Teleportation Gate into the Space Teleportation Gate.
When Karon truly found himself in the continent created by the Ancient Mage, he realized how absurdly large the Mage's Half-Plane was.
Even after thousands of years of erosion by the Void, the existing area was enough to rival half the territory of the Dragon Group, estimated by Karon and several Mages after half a day of walking by foot.
No one suggested whether to traverse this continent by flying; Karon himself did not want to attempt such a feat, obediently following behind the Mages, observing every action and word of the Holy Sanctuary Grandmaster Lapus.
And that light shield covering the entire continent was powered and maintained by tall Energy Absorption Devices constructed above the continent.
These tall absorption devices resembled bizarre waterwheels, with extremely complex Runes and Arrays engraved on them.
Whenever energy turbulence and storms from the Void collided within the range influenced by the absorption devices, these devices would absorb and convert the energy, providing power for the continental protective light shield.
Although the full view of these absorption devices had not been explored, within Karon's calculations, they should be located at the power nodes of a grand array, forming several concentric protective layers around the entire continent.
Nonetheless, during the journey, Karon saw many absorption devices had malfunctioned due to lack of maintenance, causing disruptions in the perfect cycle energy absorption system, leading to the gradual erosion and destruction of the vast realm by Void's energy and turbulence.
Karon found these absorption devices interesting, but he knew that even if he could decipher full absorption devices, it would be useless. More important was the knowledge applied in these devices; the Magic World, unlike the technological world, couldn't reverse-engineer the devices, as Magic was somewhat unscientific.
