Ajax didn't bother much about it, the system's threat of leaving him as long as he was not worried.
However, that doesn't mean he was going to fail the mission; instead, he would give his all in stopping the demon emperors from invading the Purplestone world.
Of course, it was not because of the humans; instead, he wanted to become the protector of the Purplestone world.
As a protector of the normal dwarf world, Ajax didn't want to give up the status of the 'Protector' for the Purple stone world. So, of course, it was natural for him to try his best in completing the mission.
Moreover, there was even a system upgrade and additional smaller and normal world cores for the mission, which Ajax could not ignore.
'Darbaudr is close.'
Amidst his thought, Ajax felt like he found a familiar presence, making him a little bit excited.
'Should I just ask him to come here?'
Ajax thought of asking the barbarian to come to him; however, thinking about it, he thought it would be better for him to go there; instead of asking Darbaudr to run here and there.
'Cale, turn around and fly at full speed.'
Because Ajax absorbs the world core to increase his cultivation, his senses reach an incredible level.
Even when he was not focusing, he could sense the presence of the Darbaudr and others with whom he spent a lot of time.
Among them, Darbaudr was definitely one of them as he spent a lot of time with Ajax and had multiple interactions. Also, he was Ajax's servant and the system helped Ajax sense Darbaudr and his emotions without any problem.
'Screech'
Soon, the devourer eagle king flew at an incredible speed and reached a place where Ajax assumed Darbaudr was staying.
"Huh? Why will he come to the middle of the forest?"
Ajax frowned as he didn't sense any human settlements.
Nevertheless, he jumped down to check what Darbaudr was doing here in the middle of the forest.
'There is nothing here but I can strongly sense that Darbaudr is somewhere around here.'
Ajax closed his eyes and followed in the direction where he sensed Darbaudr' presence was strong.
'Ding,
Detected a low-level legend grade barrier. Do you want to pass through it?
After walking around for a bit, Ajax received a system notification that made Ajax raise his brows as he thought, 'A barrier here, in the middle of this forest?'
What's more, the barrier is a legend grade which even the king realm cultivators could hardly notice, much less entering it.
However, Ajax didn't have such restrictions as he could even pass through the barriers between the provinces, not to mention, a low-level legend grade barrier.
Soon, he became curious about what's inside the barrier as he used his ability to cross the barrier with a single word, 'Enter'.
'Swoosh'
All of a sudden, Ajax disappeared from the place, leaving behind the devourer eagle king alone in the forest.
'Huh? Where did he go?'
The devourer eagle king was confused as he looked at the place where Ajax was standing a moment ago.
"Prophis, did you see where the master went?"
With an anxious look in his eyes, the devourer eagle king asked the space elemental spirit who also had the same anxious look on his face.
However, it only lasted for a moment before he became calm as he received a voice transmission from Ajax.
"Master is still here but he entered a secret realm. So, there is nothing to be worried about."
Prophis calmly replied to the devourer eagle king; however, the eagle king was still unable to calm down.
"How can you stay calm when the master is all alone in the secret realm? What if something happens to him inside the secret realm?"
The devourer eagle king was anxious as he said these words to the space elemental spirit.
"..."
Prophis remained silent for a moment as he thought about something.
"What's more, all my brothers and my king are still inside your secret space. If there are any king realm cultivators, Master has no one powerful enough to protect him."
Cale didn't give any time for Prophis to think as he explained all his concerns and why he was worried about Ajax's safety.
If it was Zrochester province, Cale would have not worried at all because there would be king realm cultivators in that province; however, currently, they were inside the Ylercester province and king realm cultivators are not rare here.
Moreover, if the secret realm has an owner, then it would cause even more problems for Ajax.
So, thinking about everything, even Prophis had a headache as he was unable to do anything to enter the barrier.
"Aren't you a spatial elemental system? Do something about how we can enter it."
Cale who was usually very respectful to the other elemental spirits was now shouting at Prophis; however, Prophis was not in a position to say anything to him as the devourer eagle king's worries are not wrong.
'Let's see.'
After saying that, Prophis didn't waste any time as he sat down on the ground with his eyes closed.
In the next moment, the essence of nature around him sucked into his body and the spatial laws around him were getting clearer.
'Swoosh'
However, in the next second, Prophis opened his eyes as he once again failed to comprehend the spatial law.
"Damn it…I need to comprehend a spatial at any cost."
Prophis gritted his teeth and once again repeated the process with his eyes closed.
Even though the elemental spirits that joined Ajax after him were able to learn their elemental laws, Prophis and Halo were having their troubles in comprehending them as both spatial and time laws are complex and very difficult to comprehend compared to other laws.
Nevertheless, since Ajax was inside the secret realm all alone, Prophis wanted to comprehend one of the spatial laws and enter the secret realm at any cost.
'Failure was not an option.'
