Chapter 28 Spirit World
Adam and Edward had dumbfounded expressions as they saw the little black puppy playing with Berger's beard in a cute manner.
This seemingly harmless and adorable creature had torn open space and jumped out from who knows where. To say that the two kids were astonished would be a severe understatement.
Adam looked at the little black puppy that had a fluffy tail and two brown spots right above its eyes that looked like its eyebrows. He then looked back at the crack in the void that was beginning to mend itself and couldn't help but gulp involuntarily.
The colors in that space were gathering back and becoming less saturated. At the same time, the crack in the void was also closing itself at a fast pace.
At the last moment, Adam was able to catch a glimpse of the scenery behind the crack in the void.
It was a place of extremes!
The colors in this place seemed saturated to the extremes and were very intense to look at. Adam was reminded of those abstract paintings that he had seen some artists display on the streets of Moon City.
It was only a short glimpse, but Adam felt his head spinning. It took him a few moments to clear his head, and when he did, the crack in the void had already mended itself and everything had gotten back to normal.
The youth's back was drenched in cold sweat as he stared at the spot where the puppy had come out from.
"W-What was that place?!" He asked with lingering fear.
"Oh?" Berger raised his eyebrows in surprise. "You really have high spiritual power for someone who's just become a Magus."
"Huh?" Adam was puzzled. He looked at Berger and asked, "What do you mean?"
Berger pointed at Edward and chuckled. "Look at this idiot. Only one glance at the Spirit World and he's already out cold."
Adam turned to look at his roommate, and indeed he was sprawling on the ground while drooling. New novel chapters are published on
"Is he going to be okay?" Adam asked in concern.
"Eh, don't worry about it." Berger waved his hand nonchalantly. He then crouched down and placed the puppy on the floor. The puppy began running circles around him happily.
Adam suddenly thought of what Berger had just said and asked with shining eyes, "Sir, what is spiritual power? And what is this Spirit World?"
But Edward...
"Eeek!" The plump boy caught sight of the Spirit World and passed out once again.
Blackie jumped out of the space crack, but this time his tail had magically elongated and was wrapped around a wooden trunk. The cute little puppy placed the trunk in front of Berger. His tail shortened and it began wagging intensely.
"Woof!" Blackie looked at Berger excitedly, as if saying, 'Praise me! Praise me!'
Berger crouched down and dotingly patted Blackie's head. "Good boy!"
He then took out a glittering, purple crystal the size of an adult human's fist from his pocket and gave it to Blackie. "Here you go."
"Woof!" Blackie grabbed the crystal with his front paws and immediately swallowed it whole. He then licked Berger's face once more and then turned around and tore a crack in space.
The cute little puppy barked at Adam, bidding him farewell, and then jumped inside the space crack, returning to the Spirit World.
Adam was frozen stiff. He couldn't believe the things that had just transpired. His mind was short-circuiting from all the questions that were popping up inside.
What is the Spirit World? What the hell was that dog? How did it manage to bypass the academy's defenses? How did it enter my dorm room? How did it bring back my trunk?
Who? What? When? How? Adam was beginning to feel dizzy and was overwhelmed by everything that had just happened. Only when Berger spoke to him did he snap out of his thoughts.
"Boy, take out the Body Cleansing Essence Oil. Let us begin remodeling your body."
The old gnome then instructed the adamantine golem to pour all the mana-infused water into the ghanish wooden tub. After that, Berger snapped his fingers and the essence was magically extracted from the citrus fruits.
While the citrus extract was being mixed with the mana-infused water, Adam took out the essence oil from his trunk and handed it to Berger.
After stripping his clothes, he climbed inside the trunk, feeling slightly nervous and apprehensive about the pain he was about to go through.
"Don't worry, boy." Berger comforted. "I'll try my best to alleviate the pain."
Adam nodded, his eyes shining with determination. He took a deep breath and muttered, "Alright, let's do this!"
