Realm of the Eshera Continent – Part II
The difference was that the portal that opened this time was no longer small, as Guo Jiang remembered from his previous visit. Dozens of young Thessul had once come out of the small portal's mouth and fought against several young people from the alliance in desperate combat. That battle seemed like ancient history now.The portal's mouth was now open, even too wide for any natural cause. "The portal hole was deliberately damaged and torn, requiring immense force. Based on what I told you, I suspect that the portal door was torn open so that the large spirit ships could escape from there!" said Priest Renjiro, his voice carrying certainty born of careful observation.Guo Jiang had no time to respond and hurried forward with a serious expression etched on his features. His qi senses extended outward, reading the energies that lingered.A gloomy aura and faint odor emerged from the portal like breath from a tomb, then mixed with silver dust and disappeared, blown away by the cold wind. T
Realm of the Eshera Continent – Part III
As if enlightened by the priest's words that struck like lightning, Guo Jiang asked again with growing excitement. "Isn't the Ice Island Sect the only sect remaining from the great war thousands of years ago?" Guo Jiang received an answer that seemed clear in his bright eyes that suddenly sparkled with understanding."I agree with your reasoning! It has been said that the Sword King was originally a disciple of the Ice Island Sect before he became legend. So why don't you go there and investigate the mystery of the disappearance of the Thessul race?" replied Priest Renjiro, his voice carrying approval of the young man's quick thinking."That's a great idea that solves multiple problems!" Guo Jiang thought, his mind already racing ahead to plan the investigation.He remembered suddenly, many things were still a mystery on the ice island waiting to be uncovered. For example, the Realm where the Elves lived in their hidden sanctuary. Also, the story of the Moon Sword, which was the oppon
Purple Gem Discovery.
That night was very dark on Oni Island, the moon hidden behind thick clouds that promised no light. However, along the corridors of the gem mine on Oni Island, lights flickered like fireflies, illuminating the passageway leading to the bowels of the earth as Guo Jiang and Priest Renjiro walked along the corridor toward the center of the gem mine. Their footsteps echoed in the confined space, each sound magnified by stone walls that had witnessed millennia.The damp, musty smell of earth and the unfamiliar scent of mineral rich rocks in the earth's core filled their lungs with every breath. Despite the flickering light from dozens, even hundreds, of gems and jewels that tempted them with promises of power, glowing along their path like fallen stars, Guo Jiang did not look away even once. His focus was absolute, his discipline forged through years of cultivation allowing him to resist temptation."My target is not a basic green or white gem that any novice might covet. This time, I am s
Explosive Ambush.
Guo Jiang's hand quickly touched the purple Gem CAST when he saw everything in slow motion, time seeming to stretch. There was a token shaped object thrown at him by the leader of the bandits with deadly aim. It was an amulet commonly used by magicians to cause explosions, a crude weapon for crude beings. No one saw the small crescent curve on Guo Jiang's lips, the smile of a predator pretending to be prey.DUAR! The explosion rocked the chamber.Guo Jiang was thrown by the force of the amulet's explosion, his body flying backward dramatically. "This is a low grade amulet made by a low ranked spirit master, at least a spirit of the Moon level, barely worthy of note," Guo Jiang thought to himself with a laugh that he kept internal. The power was nothing to him, like a child throwing pebbles at a mountain.OH NO! He pretended to be threatened by the attack, selling the deception perfectly. Guo Jiang created an illusion as if his hand was threatened by the explosion, and his figure float
Golden Gem Revelation.
When the Imps tried to escape from the tunnel in the mine, scrambling over each other in desperation, a loud noise suddenly rang out. From within the ground, rocks began to emerge, instantly blocking all exits from the chamber deep within the earth. Stone obeyed his will, responding to his spiritual command."Oh no, he blocked the way with earth magic. Let's go through that small hole over there!" The situation became even more chaotic, order dissolving into pure survival instinct. They gathered together and fled through small gaps in the cliff walls, squeezing their bodies through.However, they all stopped in their tracks when rocks once again emerged from the ground and trapped them with precision. They all appeared to be trapped in a huge prison made of hard rock and earth, walls rising on every side. Escape was impossible, every avenue sealed by supernatural power.Guo Jiang turned to the Imps, who now looked terrified beyond reason, their earlier arrogance completely gone. His e
The Imp's Treachery and Cerberus's Fury.
The ruins of the temple must have been vast and magnificent in its heyday, a monument to forgotten powers. A dry ditch with a very low water flow, which was once an artificial river teeming with life, surrounds the collapsed temple with only two large pillars remaining at its entrance. The pillars stood like silent sentinels, carved with runes that had weathered millennia of wind and rain.Currently, the gate is open, forming a bridge spanning from the outside into the strange temple. Guo Jiang felt a terrifying and strange sensation of power surging strongly from the direction of the temple ruins, the energy making his skin prickle with warning."This is the power of a magical creature of significant cultivation!" he thought warily, his qi senses reading the threat.Meanwhile, the Imp leading the group said to Guo Jiang with nervous energy, "We will enter through the bridge at the gate over there, and inside the hall you will find the golden gem I told you about in the young master's
The Fall of Cerberus and the Rise of the Manticore.
When Guo Jiang finished snapping his fingers with a gesture of casual power, he saw Cerberus' attack slow down before his eyes. The speed skill, the result of the Time Stop spell, made his opponent's movements appear slow to the wizard's eyes, like watching someone move through honey. Reality bent to his will.Guo Jiang extended his right hand forward with fingers rigid as steel. His index and middle fingers formed a sword, and qi energy flowed into the sword's blade until it gleamed with deadly light. The technique was simple but devastatingly effective in the hands of a master.DUAR! DUAR! DUAR! Three explosions in rapid succession.The three heads of Cerberus exploded one after another, struck by Guo Jiang's sword attack with pinpoint precision. Brain matter and bone fragments scattered like rain, painting the bridge in gore. Each head detonated from within, qi disrupting the creature's life force at its core.BANG! The sound of massive weight hitting stone.The Cerberus falls onto
Manticore's Roar.
At that time, the night was shrouded in dark clouds that roiled like living things, making the surface of Oni Island feel gloomy beyond natural darkness. The night wind blew, bringing a cold breeze that touched the skin like fingers of ice, raising goosebumps.Meanwhile, the faint sound of waves crashing from a distance could be heard repeatedly hitting the sturdy rocks on the shore of Oni Island, a constant rhythm underlying the chaos.The piercing screams of strange creatures echoed through the air with unnatural volume. The sounds were faintly reminiscent of a flute's melody, but at times they resembled the blast of a trumpet announcing war. The cacophony assaulted the ears, disorienting and disturbing.Guo Jiang and Priest Renjiro were stunned, both feeling as if their breath had stopped because they were captivated by the magical sound. Once the enchanting influence of the magical sound wore off like a spell breaking, a feeling of horror arose from the sound of a trumpet that sou
The Dodge Gem and the Phoenix's Fury.
Psst! The sound of dissipation.The hand contracted after colliding with the Manticore's tail, which resembled a scorpion's claw in both form and function. It soon shrank and vanished back into nothingness, the spell's energy exhausted by the confrontation.Guo Jiang was startled by what he had witnessed. The poison in the Manticore's tail was truly formidable beyond normal monsters."Its power was even strong enough to make my Ice Hand spell vanish after a single exchange!" Guo Jiang frowned, surprised by the Manticore's immense strength that exceeded his estimates. He would need to recalculate his approach.The creature stepped cautiously from the shadows, its large feet flapping out from the ruins of the Imp's temple with earth shaking weight. Its body was long and large, as if signifying the presence of a king in the world of mythological creatures, apex predator made manifest. The lion like mane that cascaded down its body shimmered with otherworldly beauty, and its head resemble
The Heir of Thessul.
Meanwhile, Guo Jiang was crouching down and searching through the pile of ashes, the remains of the Manticore's body which had now turned to dust due to the Phoenix's magic. His hands moved efficiently, sifting through still hot remains without concern for the heat."Eureka! Priest Renjiro, look at this treasure, a Golden Gem!" His voice carried triumph and satisfaction.Guo Jiang held up a smooth crystal object that seemed to glow from within. The gemstone's surface shone like gold as the moonlight touched it, throwing back reflections that dazzled the eye.Priest Renjiro asked with genuine curiosity, "What do you need this magical gem for specifically?"Guo Jiang replied with enthusiasm lighting his features, "This is a magical gem that will enhance my body's flexibility and responsiveness. Its name is the Dodge Gem!" He turned the stone in his fingers, admiring its perfection."Dodge? Is that a skill in your cultivation system?" Priest Renjiro asked curiously, seeking to understand
