Chapter 1046: On the Edge



Whoosh!

Though both Valyr and Mystia weren't prepared to be teleported to the edge of the Mystic Plane, the two were still able to prepare themselves beforehand, allowing them to start moving about after a bit of rest.

Then again, with them being at the edge of the Mystic Plane, it went without saying that their attention was wholly focused on the sight in front of them.

After all, what appeared before them was the pure vastness of space, the void that covered the majority of the universe.

While still in awe after being able to directly look at space for the first time, the young man briefly turned around to look at the Mystic Plane, immediately being greeted by an iridescent sight filled to the brim with various flora and fauna.

Looking back at the void that existed before them, Valyr could not help but let out a chuckle, reminding himself that he was standing on the boundary between two drastically different places.

"It's been a long while since I've last stepped foot on the edge of the Mystic Plane," muttered Mystia after some time, her gaze having never left the sight before her at all. "Even though there's not much to look at, it still fills me with a sense of wonder."

"It is space, after all." Valyr nodded at her words. "Though it may not seem like it, there are a vast number of places out there, all of them just waiting to be explored."

Hearing those words, Mystia briefly looked back at the young man, raising her eyebrow as she did not expect Valyr to give her such information.

Wondering where the young man got the information, it did not take long for her to dismiss the thought, recalling that the young man was part of the Zeihardt clan.

With that, she nodded as she shrugged her shoulders in response before returning his attention back to the darkness before them.

Chuckling at Mystia's reaction to his words, Valyr soon returned his gaze towards the vastness of space as well.

However, unlike Mystia, who was admiring it for its beauty, he was keeping an eye for the entity that Marcus mentioned before they teleported to the edge of the Mystic Plane.

Fulfilling his role as the Mystic Plane's Guardian, Valyr spread his senses out as far as possible whilst asking Marcus for more information. "Did you teleport us to where the entity is?"

"Somewhat." Marcus nodded in response. "I'm still adjusting to the strength you gave me after you became the plane's Guardian, so I could only roughly teleport in the direction of the entity. Sorry."

"That's fine," replied Valyr, eventually deciding to spread a bit of Prime Azure Energy throughout the surroundings as a sensor of sorts. "You have a general idea of where the intruder is, right?"

"Yeah." Nodding once more, Marcus closed his eyes for a bit before pointing towards a certain direction. "I can sense the entity's energy around that area."

Continuing to focus his senses on that general area he pointed that, the man soon began to frown as he continued speaking. "Huh. It seems they've shrouded and camouflaged their energies to the limit."

"I guess they planned on taking advantage of my weak strength to the fullest and land an ambush on me."

As those words left his mouth, Marcus began to sneer. "Unfortunately for them, they won't even have the chance to do so."

Whoosh!

Taking on a serious expression, the man took in a deep breath before releasing a great amount of Mystic Energy into the surroundings.

Then, infusing his will into it, Marcus then sent all of it in the direction he was previously pointing at.

Swoosh!

"Graaaaaagh!"

"Urg...raaah!!!"

Feeling a hint of terror at the energy building up within the weapon Valyr was wielding,

Marcus pondered over the question for a bit before replying, "I'd say it's now a bit below the

Mystic Plane."

"Last time I checked, the Overseer of the Extreme Toxic Plane was at the peak of Rank 7."

"And you?"

"Thanks to you becoming the Guardian, I'm now at the peak of Rank 9." Marcus looked at

Valyr with gratitude.

"Glad to hear." Grinning in response to the man's words, Valyr soon felt the arquebus reach its limit, prompting him to go through some of the status buffs in his arsenal.

"[Limit Break: Second Verse]."

"[First Encore]."

"[Refined Offense Aura]."

Whoosh!

With his strength undergoing a dramatic increase, he went ahead and activated the Truth Weaver Scripture, empowering the Intent of Shadow Energy before pulling on the trigger.

"[Grand Burst]!"

Bang!

With the effects of [Guardian of the Mystic Plane] taking effect, it went without saying that the entity succumbed to the shot Valyr fired.

Witnessing the entity in front of them turn into an explosion of gore before their very eyes, both Marcus and Mystia hastily stepped back as they looked at Valyr in disbelief, only to then wonder if what happened just now was the young man's full extent of power.

Oblivious to the gazes he was receiving, the young man had a faint smile on his face as he took a look at his notifications, raising his eyebrows as the system classified the entity as 25 separate foes he'd killed.

'Hmm... a creature with backup bodies? A hive mind of some sort?'

'Either way, I've recovered a considerable portion of the XP I spent to reach the peak of Rank

4, which is pretty neat.'

Taking delight in the fact that he had gained a massive amount of XP in one go, the young

man continued to go through his notifications, only for a confused look to appear on his face

the moment he came across a few notifications.

Ding!

[You have defeated an intruder of the Mystic Plane.]

[You have absorbed the strength of the intruder.] [Your Mystic Energy has improved by 269 points.]
