Val gingerly picked up the dinsional mirror, which was delicately resting on the altar at the center of the clearing.
He then reverse-summoned his undead.
Having ensured the safety of his undead army within the confines of the shrine, he turned his attention to his next objective: finding a body of water as it was necessary to make the magic of the dinsional mirror work.
'The forest is large, almost like a small world of its own. But with my skills, finding a body of water in it should be a piece of cake.'
Val thought, overflowing with confidence. His confidence wasn't misplaced. He possessed unrivaled skill. One of his skills was so great it made him sowhat omnipotent. It was the heavenly eye skill.
As he invoked the power of his heavenly eye skill, the forest around him beca translucent in his eye, and all its hidden secrets were revealed to him.
His vision expanded dynamically, and he saw what he was looking for.
Amongst the dense foliage, he discerned the shimr of a body of water.
It was a serene creek nestled snugly between two dense thickets of trees. It looked like a sight that seed to have co straight out of a fairy tale.
"It's quite close."
The distance between him and the creek, he estimated, was about 500 ters from where he stood.
"It will take only so breath of ti to reach it if I sprint at full speed."
And that's exactly what he did.
With the mirror securely held in one hand, Val didn't waste a mont. He broke into a brisk pace, darting through the shrubs, bushes, and small trees growing beneath the larger trees of the forest like a chaotic god of war and heading towards the creek.
The forest was alive, and not all its inhabitants were going to let him move past them without causing him trouble.
As he moved through the forest, several audacious low-level beasts, perhaps sensing a lone and potential prey or perhaps just driven by their rudintary predatory instincts, lunged at him.
Their intelligence was minimal as their level was lower than 40, thus they failed to sense he was stronger than him and dared to attack him.
He maneuvered his body like the god of lightning, not only darting past their attack but also effortlessly swatting them all to death in the process. These creatures actually never posed any real challenge to him. It was so bad that they didn't manage to cause even a single second delay in his journey to his destination before they t their demise at his hand!
Gulu! Gulu!
Soon, the gentle babbling of the creek reached Val's ears.
His pace decelerated as he approached its banks. Soon, he was standing next to him.
The water of the creek glistened under the sun, reflecting the canopy above and the world around it.
Val paused only for a mont to appreciate its tranquility as he didn't have the ti to admire it, soone was in dire need of his support, after all.
He squatted down quickly and subrged the dinsional mirror into the creek's clear waters.
The very next mont, Val got to observe the fascinating transformation of the water caused by the dinsional mirror.
From its original clear state, it began to shimr and emit a soft, ethereal glow, signaling its transformation into a teleportation pool.
This pool had now beco a gateway between the two sides of the lesser dinsions.
Using his wizardry skills, Val carefully extracted the dinsional mirror from the depths of the pool as he knew its importance and thought it best to keep it with him as an insurance policy for future travels, and using any other way to retrieve it would bear no fruit.
Without hesitation, he stored it safely in the pocket dinsion granted to him by the Void Orb, and then, he took a mont to steady himself before diving headlong into the shimring teleportation pool.
The sensation that he experienced next was a mix of both exhilarating and disorienting.
His surroundings looked like a blurry vortex of colors, and he felt as if he was being pulled in multiple directions simultaneously.
'So cold.'
A sudden cold engulfed him as if he had been thrust into the heart of a frozen ocean.
The bone-chilling temperatures would've been agonizing to anyone else, but Val's unique constitution rendered him immune to such sensations. So he managed to retain his rationality and remain calm despite feeling he was in ice-cold waters.
He opened his eyes and surveyed his new environnt while holding his breath. Due to the environnt that he suddenly found himself in, he didn't dare breathe as otherwise he would choke on water and die.
It was a crystalline pool that was neither too shallow nor too deep that he was inside of.
He didn't need to swim too much to get out of it as showed by his Heavenly Eye skill.
Inside the pool, he began to swim upwards. He knew how to swim as he had learned a lot of things in his past life, and swimming was one of them.
As he swam upwards, the surface of the water grew nearer.
Soon he erged from the pool and gasped for air, his breaths coming in heavy, rapid pants as he wiped the water off his face with the back of his hands.
Where was he?
Had he successfully bridged the vast expanse between dinsions to reach where Oliver, the young individual whom Lucious had entrusted him to guard, was located?
Well, there was only one way to find out.
He allowed his divine senses to absorb the view of the surroundings.
The terrain appeared eerily similar to the forest he had just left, but there was a distinct difference.
Back where he had co from, the sun had been high in the sky, casting its golden glow on the forest below. Here, the shroud of night had already blanketed the land.
This stark contrast between the two sides of the lesser dinsion confird that he had indeed teleported to that side of the lesser dinsion where Oliver was.
