Chapter 1932 Travel

The Nova ship zoomed through space at warp speed, its trajectory set for Earth, with an estimated arrival time of 2 days and 16 hours.

As one of the larger vessels in its class, the ship was compartmentalized into three main sections.

The first was the 10-meter-square flight deck, equipped with four seats and 180-degree windows that provided a breathtaking view of the cosmos. The second section consisted of quarters with two small rooms, each accommodating two crew members, and two larger rooms suitable for groups of 4 to 5. The third and largest section was the 210-meter-square cargo room, serving various functions.

The addition of the five-man Zodiac City Dragon squad added to the ship's occupancy, making it a bustling environment. During the journey, Emery took the opportunity to familiarize himself with this elite half-blood squad, which had been assigned to Earth for the next five years.

Despite their highly disciplined nature, the squad members maintained an air of constant vigilance, exchanging minimal words unless prompted. Emery discerned a sense of reluctance among them regarding their assignment to guard a distant, lower-realm planet. Their lack of enthusiasm was evident through his enhanced spirit reading.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

To break the ice and foster a sense of camaraderie, Emery decided to initiate some friendly competitions with the dragon squad members. Being aware of the proud and strong nature of dragon warriors, he believed that showcasing strength would be the quickest way to gain their attention and respect. With the limited space and the conditions of the ship, Emery proposed a game of arm wrestling.

The dragon squad leader, Terrador, initially hesitated at the suggestion, but Emery insisted.

"Five of you against five of us," Emery declared, his team consisting of Chumo, Ashaka, Yami, and Yama. Klea, not particularly interested in arm wrestling, gladly volunteered to be the referee for the matches.

The first match featured Chumo, against Branton a dragon warrior twice his size, who also happened to be the second in command of the squad. Branton's arm, as massive as a tree trunk, posed a daunting challenge for Chumo.

The stone slab was a relic infused with ancient wisdom, specifically containing a profound technique related to the wind element. Klea had devoted days to studying its secrets and, feeling that Chumo, with his proficiency in wind element, could benefit from it, she decided to lend it to him for the duration of their trip.

"I'll just lend it to you for this trip only! It's a precious gift," Klea declared, accompanied by a cheeky smile directed at Emery.

Upon staring at the stone slab, Chumo was quickly drawn to its aura and quickly assumed a lotus position, his focus solely on comprehending the runes inscribed on it. Curiosity piqued, Emery decided to take a look at the stone slab himself. Almost instantly, a message flowed into his mind.

The imprints within the stone slab contain a divine technique that was inspired by the heavenly Roc, a legendary and incredibly swift flying beast known throughout the universe. What made this relic truly remarkable was that the slab not only contained insights into the technique but also bore the spirit intent of the supreme being who crafted it.

Emery marveled at the depth of the stone's wisdom, realizing that it wasn't merely a collection of words but a conduit for spiritual energy. As Chumo delved into the comprehension of the text, he would absorb more spirit energy from the stone slab. Grasping the generosity behind Klea's act, Emery couldn't help but smile.

Klea, revealed that she had exhausted her capacity to gain more insights from the stone slab. Despite her talent and dedicating days to its study, she had only managed to comprehend half of the profound insights, resulting in a 2% improvement in her understanding of the law of wind. Her optimism now turned toward Chumo, anticipating that he would extract even more from the ancient wisdom.

"Let's just leave him," Klea suggested, looking forward to spending more leisure time with Emery during this journey. However, to her surprise, Emery seemed affected by the stone slab. He found himself drawn in as if the runes inscribed on its surface were whispering directly to him.
