Chapter 69 Zodiac Space Crack
The breeze on top of the mountain and the shining blue plants can be seen everywhere, giving the onlookers a relaxing vibe. The space crack that would throb would make one's heart palpitate.
This is Fein's first impression after seeing the entrance to the secret realm. Fein and his company are now going towards the portal. The entrance to the secret realm is perilous. Just one misstep would cause one to be seriously injured. Any defense is invalid in the face of space cracks that could even cut diamonds like mud.
Fein and his company were following the assigned male steward. It was said that in the last exploration, Drew mentioned that he was also the one who was assigned to the last venture as the guide. Fein asked where the other teams would enter. Apparently, the other entrance on various parts of the continent. Drew even told them that there was two portal below the sea bed, which surprised Fein.
The Federation and the high-ranking kingdoms were allocating manpower to guard the portals. It can be seen how important the Secret Realm was for them. Otherwise, they won't conduct it so strictly.
The space cracks appearance can be compared to broken glasses. When you look at the distorted scene, anyone would feel a certain strangeness.
Sofia was holding Fein's shoulder tightly for emotional support. Considering that it was her first time venturing into such a dangerous environment. The risk was so high that even S class degu-users would fall if they aren't careful. If Sofia didn't bother her father to agree, Lucius wouldn't have agreed. Lucius was also helpless on her daughter's insistence. If can only place his strongest servant in the secret realm he would already arrange it. Lucius cherished Sofia so much because she was his only daughter and the only heir that would hold their family's glory.
Seeing Sofia's legs that were slightly trembling, Fein patted Sofia's shoulder for comfort. Sofia looked at the smiling Fein.
"You don't have to the nervous, Drew already told us that this is the safest explored route," Fein assured Sofia.
After seeing Fein's consideration for her. Sofia's tense nerves calmed down a little.
Seeing this Fein smiled. He looked at Voli who would curiously look at the surrounding environment from time to time. Fein noticed that since they came here, Voli became more active than he usually was. He attributed it to the Secret Realm. Because it wouldn't be called Monster World for no reason right?
"We are near the Zodiac Cracks, we need to be extra careful here., but don't worry, as long as you don't take the initiative to touch them. There be will no accident" Drew spoke breaking the silence.
Sofia who was nervous couldn't help but ask. "What would happen if touch them?"
Drew stopped and looked at them with a serious expression. "This whole place would experience a space storm that would tear 100 miles apart. It happened once die to the foolishness of a noble clan's heir. It was a disaster. Everyone died without a corpse, even four S-Ranks weren't spared. Because space storm can even reduce an atomic particle to dust."
Everyone's hair stood out after hearing about the dreadful incident caused by Zodiac Cracks.
'As expected of a Clan's young master' Fein wiped out the sweat on his forehead.
Fein looked at the Violet cracks that were different from others.
'So that is a Zodiac Space Crack?'
The Zodiac Space Crack has unique characteristics that are easily distinguished from normal space cracks. That's why even though the destruction it can cause is massive. The risk isn't too high as long as one isn't foolish enough to touch them. The energy of space cracks is too dense and unstable. The violet color was the manifestation of its unstableness. When a creature touches it, the kinetic energy of the said creature would disrupt the delicate balance left on the Zodiac Space Crack resulting in a chain reaction that would cause a destructive force close to a nuclear bomb.
Fein glanced at the thirty Zodiac Space Crack in the vicinity. He might be able to escape with continuous use of Ghecko Substitution for a while but after his degu reaches its limit he would also follow the afterlife. He won't even have the time to save Sofia and Voli with him. Fein sighed with relief. Fortunately, they didn't bring a young master with them.
Under their careful threading to the path, they manage to bypass several Zodiac Space Cracks smoothly.
"That's the last one of them," Drew said with familiarity.
Seeing that they were already out of the danger zone. Everyone wiped the sweat on their forehead. Sofia swears that this is the longest time of her life.
Sofia was back to her cheerful self. "Whose clan young master was so dumb to touch that ominous thing?"
Fein was also curious so he looked at Drew, waiting for the other party's answer.
Seeing their inquiring gazes pointed at him. Drew chuckled and says.
"It was the one and only, Peng Clan's young master."
Sofia nodded her head with a look of understanding. "Oh... As expected."
Looking at their exchange, Fein became curious. "Who is that? Is he supposed to be famous?"
Drew nodded. " Yeah, he is infamous as the representative of Spoiled Brats. As he was the number 1 rank in the most despised young masters leader board."
This time Fein was speechless. There was still such a leaderboard here? Are they so idle to even have that? He was also surprised at the contagiousness of a unique creature called "Young Master" even in his past life, those young masters were a common troupe in the novels. He didn't expect them to thrive even in this World.
As they walk without rest, they finally saw the blue portal shining at the end of the road. The space became more stable compared to the farther entrance.
Drew also stopped. He smiled and said.
"I can only guide you here, you can enter the portal and it will transport you to the Secret Realm. I wish you the best."
Fein looked at Drew before saying. "Thanks for your guide. We already take care of ourselves here."
Drew smiled and nodded
"Let's go to the Secret Realm!" Sofia shouted in excitement.
