"Why did one I get the telepathic message?" Adrian muttered.
"If there is anything that differentiates us from you then it should be that you possess the Map of the Fallen." Tina raised a valid argument to which Adrian also agreed.
The notification did tell him that he met the qualification and that should be a correct assumption that the Map of the Fallen is the key. Although that would mean that Adrian will need to go inside alone without the help of others.
"I cannot leave them here while I enter the Hidden Spring. If something happens to them while I am inside, then that would be on me." Adrian muttered to himself.
"What would be our next move, Champion Equinox?" Tino asked.
"Our next move would be for both of you to return as I cannot be sure what might happen to both of you if I am not present. Let us move to that area so I can create the gate." Adrian replied.
The twin giants wanted to retort but they knew that Adrian was looking out for them always. They were lucky this time that the opponent was a golem with only limited instructions. If they were to battle an opponent with great intelligence, then both of them knew that they would get hurt or die as a result.
"I am just sending you there because both of you need to report our findings. You can always activate the gate again to enter." Adrian stated to make sure that they do not feel bad about themselves but the two gave a wry smile.
"About that…we were actually told that the gate cannot be used again for another ten days upon use. It needs to charge up natural energy from the sun again to function. It is also one of the reasons why only few survive but this was the first time we read about fighting golems." Tino stated to which Adrian asked more details.
Adrian learned that the gate does not necessarily send them to the Chaos Springs all the time. It can also send the others to another dimension that also bears the name Chaos Springs. All the logs that they have about the Chaos Springs did not talk about fighting golems.
"If that is the case then this chaotic pocket dimension must be connected to other pocket dimensions. They have the same name because the creator probably got lazy in naming them or they named it that way to deter those that do not have the Map of the Fallen." Adrian mumbled.
Adrian then activated Dimensional Teleportation when they were back at the floating island. He could not create the gate in that chaotic terrain as it would fail.
"Tell my companions to enter the gate when you go to the other side. I bet they are also waiting to go from the other side. I can only maintain this gate for ten minutes." Adrian stated as the two passed through the gate.
About five minutes later, Solstice and Lycan entered the portal with a tired expression. Adrian asked them about why they look like that and learned that angels attacked the Kingdom of Magnasupra. The giants were not that keen on healing magic which is why they had to naturally heal themselves. For some reason, their potions could not work on them as they received a debuff from the attack of the angels.
"At the very least, both of you survived and could still come to this place. I am going to investigate the Hidden Spring located in the location over there. The other giants will come back after four days since that will be the time for them to open the portal once more. The portal can only be opened every ten days." Adrian stated.
"Four days? It has been three days when you entered the portal. The angels came the second day and our battle with them lasted until the third day. Has six days pass by here?" Solstice asked.
"If that is the case then this pocket dimension has accelerated time which is twice the time on the main world. It further intensifies the theory that it was a demon that created this pocket dimension." Adrian muttered.
"Anyways, what do you need us to do? You cannot open the portal again?" Lycan asked.
"Having it open costs a lot of mana. I can activate it once more, but the cooldown is still one day. I will invite you guys into my party so that we can get inside the Hidden Spring. At least, I hope that is the case because I cannot bring the twin giants earlier." Adrian stated as he invited the two in a party.
Adrian led Lycan and Solstice to the center of the chaotic area filled with different elements. The two could be seen in awe as the beautiful display of the elements surrounded them. The two could not believe that the elements are also tangible enough for them to step on which is why they jumped and stomped to test its durability.
[Qualification to enter the hidden area has been detected.]
[The entrance to the Hidden Spring has been discovered. Do you want to enter with your party?]
"Yes." Adrian replied.
The moment Adrian answered, all the elements that were moving suddenly stopped. The flow of the elements then surrounded the group and formed a sphere. The next thing that they could recognize is the lost of gravity as they are sure that they are falling down.
The sphere that covered them is made of all the six elements. When they could feel that they have stopped free falling, the elemental sphere made of various elements popped like a bubble. The next view that the group can see is a great and beautiful pasture with a light blue sky.
The beautiful pasture is not the only thing in their sights as two humongous beings that could be said to be monsters are looking at them. These two giant creatures are looking at them with their numerous eyes.
[You are in the presence of The Fallen.]
