Chapter 444 Entering Point Devann



Disappearing from the vicinity of the rift at the very moment they stepped in, Meirat and the others soon felt their bodies being enveloped by a unique energy that allowed them to travel safely in space. Taking note of this, Meirat looked at Murak, who looked back at him as the two of them soon nodded at each other.

Swoosh!

"Mngh…" Resisting the pull of the energy surrounding them as much as possible, Murak was eventually able to extend both of his hands outward, sending a great portion of his mana circulating through it as the energy that was covering all five of them gradually lost its strength to send them to their intended location.

"You don't get to see the fabric of space this up close very often," said Hreig as he gave Murak a thumbs up. Seeing what he had done, Gaar and Kraag also gave Murak a thumbs up, though the latter ignored all of them as he focused on the space surrounding them.

"Intent of the Void."

Whoosh!

Attuning himself to the energy he had become familiar with thanks to his intent, the mana Murak was circulating through his extended arms gradually took on the property of the energy that existed throughout the space they were currently in. Making sure that the unique energy protecting them at the moment wasn't dispelled, Murak then utilized the mana he had just converted to try and change their intended location.

"[Calling of the Void]."

"[Ten Dimensions, One Space]."

Swoosh!

Gesturing in the air for quite some time whilst chanting a few words that seemed to resonate with the mana he had control over, a set of six portals soon appeared in front of the five, giving them a brief glimpse of the locations that they could possibly end up appearing in.

"From left to right, these portals are ordered from the weakest general aura to the strongest general aura." Taking in a few deep breaths as he made sure he had control over the portals and the energy, Murak turned around to look at the other four that were with him, only to shift his gaze towards Meirat. "Where are we going to appear first, Meirat?"

"Hmm…" Rubbing his chin for a bit, Meirat thought back to the goal of the mission that had been given to him, which was to try and inflict as much damage to the human race as possible after infiltrating the Akashic Battlefield. Of course, as a new member of Khorza'an's Chosen, he was going to try his best to make sure that would be the case.

"How strong is the general aura in that portal?" Pointing at the portal that was at the fourth position in line, Meirat threw a question at Murak.

"Roughly around the early and middle levels of Rank 4." Closing his eyes for a bit, Murak gave Meirat the answer he wanted.

"And the portal to the right?"

"Near the peak levels of Rank 4. A great portion of them even having Intents."

"Let's head to the first portal I asked about. Also, make sure that we appear as far away from the humans as possible." As these words came out of Meirat's mouth, the four swiftly nodded as Murak made use of the converted mana once more, changing the intended location of the unique energy surrounding their bodies all this time to that of the location Meirat suggested.

Taking a couple minutes to fully reconfigure the unique energy, Murak eventually allowed it to pull on their bodies once more, now taking them to the location Meirat had chosen.

"Now that I think about it, why'd you choose that portal?" Catching his breath after spending most of his energy manipulating the fabric of space itself, Murak looked at Meirat and asked him a question. "Even though you're only at Rank 4, wouldn't you still be able to defeat those at Rank 5 without a problem?"

"I would be able to." Meirat nodded in response. "However, the reason why I chose this portal instead of the one with the Rank 5 aura is to try and eliminate a great portion of talented Rank 4 beings. After all, with how aggressive the other orcs are fighting for the empire, it's only a matter of time before the Rank 5 humans would need to be replaced by other Rank 5 humans?"

"And where would they get that?"

"I see…" Though Murak thought that there was a couple of flaws to Meirat's logic, he decided not to refute it since he was only following the orders of Khorza'an's Chosen.

As for Meirat, after he was finished explaining it to Murak, he soon realized that there seemed to be a few problems to his idea. However, he was still going to stick to it since his strength was more than enough to slay even those in the middle of Rank 4 with one hit.

Being one of Khorza'an's Chosen, that meant that he would need to have a Rare class at the very least, which meant that he would have a level of strength far exceeding those in the same rank as him. Though, rather than have the bare minimum Rare class, he instead had an Epic class, allowing him to surmount large gaps in strength without much problem, especially with him being born with innate strength.

Believing in himself as he was one of Khorza'an's Chosen, as well as the strength he had cultivated so far through his Epic class, Meirat believed that they would be able to complete the mission with an incredibly high level of success under his leadership. After all…

Who in the humans' side could possibly be stronger than him?

…

Whoosh!

"I told you we should have gone to Point Devann in the first place."

"I did say we were heading to Point Caelion so I could do a bit of warm-up and find out my limits."

"And killing only a few dozen monsters before deciding to move on is considered a warm-up?"

"…haah. Could you just help me find an area within this point that might have Legendary Elites?"

"Fine, fine. I'll go ahead and ask around."

"Thank you."
