Chapter 371: The Midworld

“This portal was never used again since that day,” Shadow said with a sigh. “And I only learned about this secret entrance because Gummy, Gao, and Gamus told me.”
Three dark-skinned Krakoks hopped onto Shadow’s shoulder one by one, and each of them struck an overdramatic pose while they stared at Angor with their twinkling green eyes.
“So that door they always use leads to the Midworld?” Angor said as he pointed to the small creatures.
“Right. That’s their home.”
“Can all Krakoks do this?” Angor suddenly felt curious. If so, the Krakoks in history wouldn’t have suffered so much when they met the war-thirsted humans.
Shadow shook his head. “As far as I know, they received this talent when the wizard from Dark Castle implanted something into their bloodline. And after countless generations, only about one out of ten Krakoks can use that power now.”
Angor was shocked to learn that a wizard could change the genetic property of an entire race.
However, rich primal mana didn’t mean anything to them. The bottlenecks of mana reserves for apprentices were usually determined by the speed at which they converted their primal manas, not the speed they absorbed it. Drawing too much primal mana would damage one’s mind space instead.
Only wizards who knew how to convert primal manas with high efficiency could make use of somewhere with an abundance of primal manas.
Shadow ordered his puppets to stay put inside the chamber, and he noticed Angor doing the same.
“… You’re not going out there to check? I know, you’ve done your part. But aren’t you curious about the Midworld? You can’t find it anywhere else other than Fairy World, you know.”
…
Angor was convinced by Shadow.
He didn’t wish to get involved in Shadow’s business, but he was very interested in Krakoks and their home.
The two of them headed to the exit of the underground cave while Shadow explained what appendage planes were to Angor.
The Fairy World was such an appendage plane. And just like the other appendage planes, it came into existence during a plane fusion.
A plane fusion could either happen when a “powerful plane” moved to absorb a “weaker plane”, or vice versa, when a weaker one chose to join a bigger plane for some reason.
The fusion would exterminate most of the high-level creatures in the weaker plane until nothing could potentially harm the stronger plane, by which the weaker plane would officially become the appendage of the bigger plane.
Different planes had different “characters”, just like people. For example, there were planes filled with pure gas, liquid, or vacuum. The base law of an appendage plane would slowly get affected by its “master” while it kept some of its own properties.
For this reason, appendage planes tended to appear varied and complicated in nature.
For example, the Brilliance Plane, which was a famous appendage plane of the wizarding world, enjoyed eternal daytime because of the unchanging star orbits. This plane did not have “night”. And because of the fixed patterns of the stars, it was a brilliant residence for wizards who studied astronomy.
The property of Fairy World was that it had two other levels of worlds hidden under the real world—the Midworld and the Otherworld. The three worlds possessed different rules and different amounts of primal mana distribution.
