Chapter 499 New Intruders
Five days wasn’t a long time, but it wasn’t short either.
For Bug Adept Billis, it was only a small game that he played with the goblins while leading his bug soldiers. However, for the poor goblins of Beta Town, that small game meant the deaths of over a thousand people. Of these victims, there were one hundred and twenty-five goblins and nine hundred slaves of various other races.
Billis had broken free of the goblin’s pursuit the moment he sensed the brimming energy of his metal ball on the fifth day. He made his way deep into the forest under cover of night.
When the metal ball opened up silently in an empty section of the forest, the stars in the skies turned dim and lightless. Several dazzling beams of light that could compare with the radiance of the sun shot out of the metal ball’s core. The beams illuminated the entire forest so brightly that it was hard to keep one’s eyes open.
The intense radiance even pierced through the dense layer of leaves above, casting several pillars of light towards the pitch-black night sky. It was so bright it was practically daytime. This fantastic scenery could be easily seen from several dozens of kilometers away.
Several terrifying spatial ripples that shook the planar barrier accompanied the brilliant lights. As the spatial ripples intensified, the spatial flux became even more frequent. The entire forest started to be affected by the wormhole that was about to form.
Almost twenty kilometers away in Beta Town, Bazzek and Naaru hurriedly scrambled onto the observation platform. They gazed at those terrifying pillars of light that shot into the skies, completely stunned.
Greem put on a bitter smile, even as he felt the same.
Adepts could be considered high-energy creatures with the bodies of humans. Their bodies perpetually called out to the environment and communicated with it. The magical energy scattered throughout the plane constantly nourished their bodies, allowing them to maintain a state of high-magic.
When they arrived on this low-magic Goblin Plane, the concentration of magical energy in the space was so low that it was almost unbelievable. The magical power here was inert and a lot less lively than the energy back in their homeworld. It wasn’t as fresh.
That was why the adepts had this terrible feeling of needing to exert themselves just to get air into their lungs.
Another dozen seconds passed by before Mary was able to get somewhat used to the ‘filthy’ and ‘inferior’ air of the Goblin Plane. She left Greem’s embrace and could finally move about freely.
“Billis, you did extremely well!” Greem picked up the exhausted metal ball and turned to look at Bug Adept Billis, who was bowing to him, “Now, bring us to your hiding spot! I need more comprehensive first-hand information on the Goblin Plane.”
“Sir, everything has been prepared!” BIllis’ bug head under the shadow of his hood revealed the traces of a wicked smile, “Please follow me!”
Billis turned and walked towards the forest.
Greem and Mary also donned their cloaks and pulled the hoods over their heads. They then followed along without a word.
They had no choice but to keep such a low profile to avoid being surrounded by the natives.
They’d had a Sixth Grade Great Adept helping them when they entered the Knight’s Plane in the past. That was why the spatial ripples hadn’t spread out that far. However, this time, they were practically traveling without hiding their tracks. Without an adept’s tower to conceal the commotion, the intense spatial flux could spread as far as several thousands of kilometers away.
Trying to hide this teleportation from the natives was only a pipe dream. It would only be possible if all the goblins in a radius of thousands of kilometers were blind and deaf. Therefore, Greem couldn’t wait to relocate the moment they arrived and head to the hiding spot that Billis had prepared in advance.
