The Fla Elentals were on the weaker side of E-Ranks because they didn’t have a physical form. But that also ant their skills were very strong, and they also couldn’t be hard by normal ans.
Kael had considered that and ran a small experint on the Fla Elentals, finding out their weakness—which was the tal bars hidden inside them.
They acted as their core, which held the flowing mass of fire around it. Once it was taken out, the Fla Elental would collapse, giving him the Soul Power and also the tal bars as drop loot.
So, he was prepared to deal with the Fla Elentals if they ca in huge numbers. Though, he was still nervous, as this could very well end up as his deathbed.
’Not the first ti, heh.’
With precise movents of his claws, he cut open the wall, and at last, he clenched his fist tightly before delivering a terrifying blow that blasted the wall outwards.
Expecting such a reaction because of the Fla Elentals, Kael backed away while opening his mouth. In the next mont, a bulging river of fire poured out of the room into the corridor as the cracking noise of chains made his ears twitch in irritation.
Still, he opened his mouth wide and roared, as the whole fire river suddenly froze in the air and trembled, as if struggling to remain in existence.
Kael didn’t waste the opportunity and threw [Storm Pulse] amidst the convulsing river of fire, which provided an additional paralyzing effect.
He proceeded to plunge his bare hands into the river of fire and began searching for the tal bars. His face turned livid as he gritted his teeth, feeling the extre heat lting away his skin.
Even his Draconic physique couldn’t handle such high temperatures, as he was at a very low rank. Still, that also gave him ridiculous regeneration abilities, which were healing his arm the mont it showed signs of being lted.
The pain was terrible, but it wasn’t like he hadn’t experienced pain before. Ignoring it, he began to take out more and more tal bars from the river of fire as it began to shrink in size.
It also showed signs of regaining control over its body, but Kael had already prepared asures for that as another roar reverberated in the corridor.
He smiled, as Kiona had done the task without him saying anything. She truly matched him in battles with a very good harmony.
Suppressing those thoughts, Kael sped up his process and took out the tal bars while trying to ignore the terrible pain that was making his whole arm numb.
The only relief to this whole situation was the massive amount of Soul Power being poured inside him. It seed like his guess was right, as he was getting more Soul Power by killing those monsters he hadn’t killed too many tis before.
The theory of saturation in the Labyrinth was true.
By the ti he was finished with the last Elental, Kael felt his soul brimming with energy and seeking to leave his body to reach sowhere else.
It was as if sothing was calling him.
He tried to resist the callings and instructed Kiona, who was still in her battle stance, to fight other enemies. "I have advanced to the next rank, so guard for a while."
Kiona nodded, as she had already expected such an outco when Kael told her about the Astral World. He had also entered it once previously too.
"I don’t know when I’ll wake up, so take my body to a room and you can take so rest," Kael said, feeling as if he was losing his connection with the body. "Of course, you can also call your brothers back if you want. We will fight the Boss after I wake up."
He only saw her catching his falling body before he lost consciousness. In the next mont, he woke up in the familiar bizarre surroundings of the Astral World.
The colorful world poured its information into him, but he wasn’t able to decipher it and realized that it had passed through him. It was a strange feeling he couldn’t quite understand.
’Old man, are you here?’ Kael asked through their internal connection, but received no response.
’Seems like he really slept.’ Kael thought and focused his attention on his situation. ’Unlike last ti, I don’t need any help to sustain myself this ti.’
Since he couldn’t understand the information provided by the Astral World, he asked his assistant, ’Can you decipher it?’
[It is similar to the information the individual Draven gave . It’s in a different language that I’m still trying to understand. The only reason I understand so of it is because of him. Give so ti to understand this language fully so I can help you better.]
If even Alpha was having a hard ti understanding the language, Kael was sure it would take him years or even decades, so he threw the matter out of importance for now.
[But I did realize sothing. The Astral World is abstract and no concepts work properly here. So, the information you receive could be of the future or past since even the ti here is abstract.]
’Divinations...’
The word instantly popped up in his mind, as he finally understood how those people in churches did the divinations. Other factions also had their own Diviners.
’So, they all rely on the Astral World for this. Wait! If that’s the case, then the danger intuition I feel is because my Astral Projection interacts with so information of the future?’
[Possible.]
’Interesting,’ Kael thought and looked around, which was weird because whenever he tried to look in a certain direction, he would end up looking at sothing else. Worst of all, it wasn’t fixed so that he could get used to it.
’Aghh! Whatever, where is my mana pool?’
Since he was currently seeing the world through his Astral Projection, then it ant he should be able to see the mana attracted to him since he used the Astral Projection as a dium.
’Or Soul. Both are related anyways.’
Kael guessed that since everything was represented by these bizarre colours here, then the mana pool must also be represented by so colour. So, he began to look for a colour that was in the majority.
Though, that proved to be much harder than he had expected, as he couldn’t even look around properly. Though he wondered if it was sothing different that he simply couldn’t see. Who knew if the concept of sight was also twisted in this world?
Finally, his luck shone, and he managed to look down at his supposedly legs.
He felt a tremor in his mind as he ’looked’ at his legs and what was underneath them. It was sothing vast in deep silver colour that seed to be a floor he was standing on.
However, how could there be a floor in this world? Then, it only ant that this vast silver floor was actually his mana pool.
"Haah..."
Just when he was about to look further, he heard a sigh filled with ancient aura, as if soone who had lived for thousands of years was trying to whisper sothing in his mind. It made his primal fear resurface.
