Chapter 1927: Chapter 1927: Eerie Dimension
Li Yao was surprised, others might not know, but he was well aware that Demoness had a lot of good stuff, especially since she had taken over the main city, the real essence of which was in her lord’s vault, which was her personal warehouse.
They had the authority to open it and choose things freely, and to increase their combat power, the leadership almost set no restrictions.
The things they had might not even be matched by Edward and his group, and the Demoness’s skill improvement was very rapid, definitely among the top. Her failure in the road of challenging the strong showed the difficulty of this task.
“To what level did your mentor ask you to raise your madman level?” Li Yao curiously asked.
Entering the fractured dimension, the difficulty partly came from the dimension itself, and partly from the madman’s level. The higher the knowledge, the stronger the encountered monsters, and the more dangerous the world, but correspondingly, the gains are also huge.
Demoness smiled bitterly and said, “My mentor asked me to raise it to level 6. I’ve tried more than ten times myself and used ten Substitute Dolls.”
A Substitute Doll is an item that allows you to die once in place of yourself, and safely retreat to a safe place. It was a precious item seized from the main city warehouse this time.
For everyone’s safety and to allow the Starfire leadership not to be overly cautious, everyone had ten Substitute Dolls for protection.
But it was understandable, given Demoness’s high pride, she wouldn’t ask for help if she didn’t really find it impossible to complete it.
“Level six, that’s indeed quite high. No wonder. The dimension you entered was probably related to shadow invasion; the monsters in there must be terrifying. You, being fragile, would indeed find it challenging. It’s just the right time as I need to explore a sub-dimension, so we can go together,” Li Yao said.
“Won’t it delay your tasks and time?” Demoness said, “If you’re too busy, I can go with Feng Yi and the others; I think I should be able to handle it.”
“My mentor stopped caring about me a long time ago. She said that since I have embarked on the path of the strong, the road ahead is mine to forge.” Li Yao chuckled bitterly. The queen is known for her words and deeds. Once she said she wouldn’t care, she really wouldn’t. That’s what made him a bit confused.
You don’t care, but at least set some tasks and rewards, yet there’s nothing, it’s all up to self-exploration to obtain.
“Alright, with you around, I’ll likely complete my mission quickly.” Demoness said.
At this moment, the Knight of Fruits also walked out, followed by a holy creature surrounded by Holy Light. The harpy’s feathers had all turned golden, as if molded from gold, and her face lacked that seductive and wild look, appearing instead sacred, like an Angel.
“The appearance is not bad,” Li Yao praised.
“My combat power has increased significantly. I’ll challenge you if I get the chance.” A flash of defiance appeared in the harpy’s eyes.
“Forget it, even if the two of us became world-level chiefs, we wouldn’t be a match for the president. Alright, come with me on patrol. Today I’m in charge of the Shadow City District’s security.” The Knight of Fruits nodded and led the harpy continuing the city patrol.
“Then let’s make some arrangements and set off.” Li Yao said.
“Mm, there are a few things to note: in that place, holy power is suppressed, so it’s best not to bring such items.” Demoness seriously addressed this.
“So, it’s a fractured dimension invaded by Void Shadows.” Li Yao mused.
Currently, there are still many fractured dimensions. Because of the collapse of world laws, these dimensions usually have their unique characteristics.
Being eroded by such energy, due to the collapse of Yin and Yang, imbalance of fire, earth, water, and wind, many near-fractured dimensions often present some extreme attributes.
There are worlds invaded by Void Shadows, such worlds are usually filled with mysterious Void Shadow creatures. Just like last time when Li Yao contracted several Demons on the battlefield, that was actually also a fractured dimension, possibly even a continent formed from the collapse of the main dimension.
There are also dimensions purified by Holy Light; don’t think that being purified by Holy Light means it’s safe and holy. In reality, such dimensions are no different from those invaded by shadows. Holy Light creatures are even more stubborn and controlling. Being thoroughly purified by Holy Light means losing one’s judgment, simply put, it’s complete brainwashing.
Of course, this also includes various chaotic elemental dimensions, similar to the dimensions governed by the Four Great Elemental Lords, etc., which are incredibly complex and varied. Just like the professions in this world, although essentially just a few professions, the specific evolution and manifestations are vast.
Various professional mentors would naturally choose sub-dimensions suitable for their students’ development. For Li Yao, there are quite a few choices, not just the dark and wind-thunder elements rampaging dimensions, various mutated dimensions, or chaotic Alien Bugs infested dimensions, all could provide Li Yao with corresponding benefits.
Of course, the dimensions that offer the most substantial help and the fastest improvement for Li Yao should belong to the dark and inorganic life dimensions.
So, it’s not just about helping Demoness, even if she didn’t need help, and re-entered the dimension, Li Yao would tag along.
Although he knows quite a few dimensions, the methods to get in are not easy to come by. Even though he’s a great lord now, the foundation is still too weak. The faction masters quite a bit of dimensional information, but they certainly won’t make it public. For him to acquire it himself would require a considerable price.
“Mm, besides that, the force field in this dimension is strange, with places of great gravity that render moving almost impossible, but then some places are chaotic, making it easy to get sucked into the Void Turbulence, leaving no bones behind. So, exploration can only be done on the ground, not flying in the air. There are also terrifying monsters in the sky; I’ve seen two players who couldn’t pass on the ground, summoned their mounts to fly, only to mysteriously vanish, then their shattered bodies were found elsewhere.” Demoness recounted with some lingering fear.
“Mm, not being able to fly is normal; most fractured dimensions are not suitable for flying.” Li Yao nodded, “Is there anything else?”
“There’s also something else I can’t explain, some equipment and items become ineffective, and I can’t figure out the pattern. I once found the mission target, but crossing an obstacle, using my Spider Silk, which worked elsewhere, suddenly failed there. I used my last Substitute Doll then.” Demoness helplessly said.
“That’s normal, the rules of small dimensions are incomplete, no one can say exactly what’s going on. In such strange dimensions, avoid using special effect items; the laws and secrets you master won’t be affected. And don’t worry about the Substitute Dolls; they were specifically designed for exploring fractured dimensions.” Li Yao explained.
“We have plenty of things, but still, we can’t help being heartbroken, especially since it’s for my personal matters. I need to go to the warehouse and auction house to prepare some useful things. Let’s meet again tonight; that dimension only opens during the in-game nighttime.” Demoness parted ways with Li Yao and started preparing items…
