Chapter 2363: Explanation
Every team member is eager for what is Sam about to say.
This pocket dimension is full of mysteries. The presence of skeleton, the multiplication, the increase in their power level. Everything is happening right in front of their eyes, but they don't how it is happening.
They also don't have a clue about what the is key to getting out of here.
So, they are more than willing to spare some time and learn it.
"First and foremost, the whole pocket dimension is divided in several parts. You can consider them as zones and each zone is guarded by an undead creature. When people are sent in here, they will be spawned at random locations.
Irrespective of their arrival, the zones will create these undead creatures and send them out. They absorb the death energy of the surroundings and increase their strength.
With special means, you can distinguish how much energy a creature has gathered and how dense its energy is.
Based on those two metrics, you can divide the levels of these creatures. The black is the last and the highest level on this scale. Whenever a creature reaches the next level on this scale, a new creature will be created in its original zone.
At the start of the pocket dimension, if you encounter these creatures, you can fight them in their zone or you can escape them. Even if they come after you, you might have noticed that they halted their pursuit after you travelled far enough.
That is because, when their numbers are low, these creatures tend to not leave their zones. Unless and of course you forced the creatures to go out using spatial means.
There is another method too. When the creature's number has reached a certain limit, then they will start spreading out of their zones.
They will increase their strength until they reach the black level and they will keep on increasing in number if you don't trigger the conditions to stop that multiplication.
And that condition is completely destroying, at least one black level creature of its kind. Once a black level creature of a kind is destroyed, it will stop the multiplication.
Here comes the most difficult part. Actually destroying one of the black creatures. As you might have noticed, no matter how many times you beat the skeletons, you won't be able to destroy them. They will always come back, regenerated and in a stronger form.
However, there is one and just one point within the skeleton's body, that will become its core or the weak point, after certain number of regenerations and certain level of energy threshold.
Once it reaches that level, when we attack the skeleton at that point and do enough damage, it will finally be destroyed.
After that one black skeleton of a kind is destroyed, it will stop the multiplication, then you will be left with all the other skeletons that are already spawned. All you can do is target them one by one, let them increase their strength to the maximum black level, let it reach that threshold level and break it down through the core.
You have to do this repetitively with every skeleton until we destroy every other skeleton in this place.
That should allow us to leave this place."
Sam looked at them after dumping that load of info on them.
"Are you for real?" Hari asked with his mouth wide open. The test of this pocket dimension, if what Sam speculated is actually true is the toughest and most time-consuming of all the pocket dimensions they have participated in over the years.
The time taken, the effort they have to put in and the threat level of each skeleton on top of that... this is almost an impossible challenge.
hunches?"
Drik pursed his lips and said.
"The hideout formation. I think there is something wrong with it."
The formation team member paused and immediately connected with the formation. He
frowned and said.
"All the nodes are operating and the concealment should be working properly. There is indeed
a slight disturbance in the flow, but it doesn't seem like much. It could just be a glitch because of the shift in environmental energy.
The pocket dimension's energy level is increasing, so it might have caused..."
*BOOM*
He didn't even get to finish his speculation, when something hit the formation. The explosive sound rattled everyone out of their relative safety. The formation broke down and
disappeared at the same time.
*BOOM* *BOOM* *RUMBLE*
They could hear the explosive noises and the rocks flying around. The impact from each hit reverberated in their heads. Soon, they saw it.
The concealment formation is gone. All the defensive measures are kicked it. The black skeletons surrounded them and they even saw more of them charging towards them.
The reverberations are so strong, that even though the formation is not destroyed, the aftershock is enough to rattle the walls of the hide out. Drik came out and looked at the scene
in shock.
Everyone gathered without anyone alerting them.
Dozens of black skeletons. All of them with the sole aim of destroying the hide out.
"We need to escape. We cannot stay here."
One of them yelled out loud.
Drik tried to calm them down, but even before he could raise his voice...
*BAM*
The first barrier was broken down and the skeletons charged forward.
He knew that they wouldn't hold up. Luckily, the space gate is ready. "Go to the space gate. Everyone, hurry."
