Chapter 872 - Entering The Chaos Springs

Adrian agreed to get inside the Chaos Springs with soldiers from the giant race. He will be escorted with two elite guards from the royal guards. The wanted to send at least five but Adrian argued that he cannot easily save them if something were to happen that is out of his control.

Adrian could at least send out two of the giants out of the pocket dimension. He does not want the NPCs to die just because he cannot protect all of them. It would leave a sour taste in his mouth that he would let them die when they are accompanying him in his adventure.

He is accompanied by two of the giant royal guards that seems to be twins.  They are five meters tall and are significantly leaner compared to the other giants as it seems they are scouts. They seem to be more agile and also choose to use daggers instead of the traditional maces that giants use.

They gathered in the royal audience hall where a large throne is located with no one sitting on the throne. They already knew the reason why the throne is empty as the current king is now dying from old age. He has yet to decide on a successor because of the incompetent ones he had raised.

The current king might be dying but he can still move in the confines of the castle. Although he is still at rest right now as he cannot be always moving. He had given order to Princess Dainta to open the gate as she already know of the way to process the key.

It seems that Princess Dainta is the one that is acting as the crown princess at the moment and the most viable one for the throne. The only thing that she needs to do is open the gate and she proceeded to the middle of the audience hall.

The middle of the audience hall had a patterned floor that looks ancient to some extent. The only thing that needs to be done is the insertion of the key. Princess Dainta stepped up and took out a golden orb with strange runes that even Adrian could not discern.

She inserted this golden orb inside of the center of the floor pattern and it suddenly started to activate. The circular floor pattern suddenly started spinning and spinning as it lifted itself off the floor. A circular gate like thing suddenly emerged and created a portal.

[You have discovered the Gate for the Chaos Springs.]

[The Map of the Fallen is reacting strongly towards the Chaos Springs.]

The Map of the Fallen that was hiding inside of his inventory suddenly shot out. It glowed in a golden light as well, but it started to dematerialize into golden light. The golden light then merged with Adrian's body.

[The Map of the Fallen has been bound to the player Equinox.]

[You now have access to a Chaotic Pocket Dimension.]

[In order to be able to visit the dimension anytime without the key or passing through the gate, you must be able to fully explore the Chaotic Springs.]

The gate that appeared looked like an ancient portal made by past civilizations. Adrian could feel that the gate tore up the space in front of it. The Chaotic Springs is a pocket dimension that is located at this very location and the golden orb that was the key is something to safely open it up.

Adrian could easily tear up the space to open the pocket dimension as well but that would result in a catastrophic explosion that will create a black hole. A black hole large enough that it would be able to destroy this entire kingdom in a blink of an eye.

"If I completely explore it then I will be able to enter the Chaos Springs at any given time. The Map of the Fallen is no longer in my inventory though. Then again, it was a map with only runes on it and not really a way to tell direction." Adrian stated.

"The map! What happened to the map!?" Elder Nat lamented as he saw that the map suddenly disintegrating when the portal was opened.

"You do not need to worry as it seems to have bonded with me." Adrian replied.

"I wanted to copy it after you have finished investigating." Elder Nat stated as he cried that he was not able to recreate a piece of the relic.

"He is like that so please do not be alarmed. He is a great fanatic when it comes to relics of our pasts. Other than that bad habit of him, he is a great elder that everyone looks up to." Princess Dainta stated.

"I see. It seems that there are no ordinary old men in this world as well. No wonder his eyes sparkled like a kid when he learned that the map was authentic. He even rubbed his face on it which I thought was just a part of the investigation process." Adrian replied with a whisper.

"Anyways, we are entering. I will inform you of the things inside and we will retreat if I deem it impossible to continue at our current strength." Adrian said as he marked the floor in front of the gate using a Dimensional Teleportation magic circle.

In another corner of the world, most of the angels gathered there. They were the missing high officials of the Church of Light that are trying to break the seal of the gate to free the angels. They were resting when they suddenly felt that the seal of the gate was reacting to something.

"Your Eminence Pristina! The gate is reacting to something!" One of the angels reported as the seal of the gate suddenly glowed in a golden light.

"It is the other gate! This gate is reacting to the presence of another gate.. Mark and follow the energy signature before it vanishes!" Pristina stated as she summoned three of the best angels that can detect energy.
