Aden and Ode came out from the fourth dimension, Ode was surprised that Aden knew some spells about Dimension Travelling, as it was so expensive, he only had 4 spells that's for life-saving emergencies, how did he get it?
"Wow, I don't know that you'll be so rich, boy."
"Oh, It's just a gift from leveling up to level 400."
"Hisydema is not so kind to me..."
They treaded carefully into the group, because the black flame is still there, and would not be put out unless from a magic of a same level, but it has to be the opposing element, though.
"Young Prince, you're in a difficult situation, in our testing earlier, we concluded that the lion is less threatening than the Wolf, but be careful of the Mansaraga, he can do mind bending, the reason you're not affected in the first place is because of this guy right here." The deer pointed at the skinny fox, the fox is kinda shy being ponted at, it looked hella weird.
"Thank you, Magister Fanrir." Ode thanked the Fox
"So, who is the man orchastred this event?"
"It was from the Aleegs' Allegiance, it seems like the Leader has gone mad, we don't know what caused it, but it seemed like it has something to do with this young man. You're a human, right? Humans are rare, in this island the only known human is Rambal, the Magis-Scencer." The Deer said
"Rambal? Is he still alive?" Aden asked
"He is, but he is a hermit, by the way, that thing in your head... It has a very good mental skills, i cannot even read your mind."
Ode just realized too, he cannot probe Aden's mind any longer, why? The AI? Seems fishy
"Oh, it's a gift, the thing is a gift from Hisydema."
"Well, Hisydema is truly kind to you, that is. Never to us."
Ode didn't shout out Aden's lies as it could bring harm to Aden, even though he is a prince, he's still a prince in a small faction belonging to a much higher ones, and the deer is naturally not from his faction so he cannot do anything about it, even a titled noble needs to bow down to a mere soldier from a higher kingdom.
"Magis-Scencer?"
"Ah, it is a Magister who are more leaning to research, and alchemy."
'Oh, so an alchemist, then.' Aden thought
"We need to move soon, young prince, they will soon target us again. We need to move to the Forest Treaties."
"Sure, lead the way."
The Deer summoned a Dimensional portal, it looked like a vine-shaped door seemingly 3 m tall and 1.5 m wide, and Ode walked into the portal with Aden, followed by the Deer, the hooded figure, and the fox.
When he passed the Dimensional portal, what he saw is a magnificent cities made of wood, big trees that seemed to reach the skies are occupied by people of all species, kids playing in the flatlands, it looked very breezy and definitely better than those of earth. The diverse amount of species reminded him of Saturn, where all species of intelligence life can be found happier than those of the Mars or Jupiter, Mars is the worst when treating other alien races, and they allowed slavery too. Even though some planets disliked them, what they can do? Mars is a goldmine for companies and the most profitable underground business, after all.
They walked into a big tree, the tree itself is seemingly endless, and tall, it looked like a wall, a big, big wall, looking up, Aden saw the branches and the leaves of the tree, it is very big, even when they're far away, he could estimate that a single leaf is over a million kilometers in diameter, if people saw this magnificent tree, they would be convinced that this is yggdrasil, and they'll become pagan all of the sudden, except that it's not.
They walked into one of the entrance into the inside of the tree, inside, there are a lot of creatures sitting, waiting in line. It reminded him of the receptionist room back in earth, but here, the only interior is wood and metal, and it seemed very endless, too.
Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
"Wow, how come is the tree is so big? And how come that the inside is this cool?" Aden asked like a children asking his dad
"This is ordinary, wait until you see the Magis Coterie, or Union if you don't know what that means." Ode answered rather smugly, as if mocking Aden, of course it was a joke.
"Wow."
"Now, be quiet, don't be too loud in here."
They then walked into one of the receptionists that doesn't have a line, unlike the others, which was crowded, it was weird, and curiosity really got him, so Aden finally asked Ode again, but this time, it was through telepathy
"Why didn't they just come into this receptionist instead of the crowded one?"
"Well, this one's reserved for royal families in affiliation of the Treateries, and the Service."
"What is the Service, then?"
"It's our backup group, all royal families got some kind of protection, and they are the Service, specialized in killing, kidnapping, protecting, and stuff. And they're very strong, try not to piss them off in the future."
"Okay, got it."
The Deer seemed to notice that Aden and Ode were talking about them, so he winked at Aden and smiled.
'That's scary, I need to upgrade my telepathy skill soon, and I can't even depend on Ei, he only covered my mind and his, and I need to cancel that to communicate with other people beside Ei.'
Then the trio talked to the receptionist for a while before going into a door, Ode and Aden then followed them, when they were inside, they all floated upwards immediately, and stopped at floor 98, it seemed that it function the same as an elevator, only that it can only be used psychologically, and the UI is holographic, too, seemed very weird to see the combination of wood and technology, but it just felt very natural and calming, it seemed very weird but perfect at the same time.
They walked into a tall door, it looked very traditional, but there are many complex design in it, the design moved as if it was alive.
The Deer placed his hand into the center of the door, it fitted perfectly, his slender-humanlike arm is now covered in liquid gold, and then the liquid filled all the decorations, then it stopped.
The Deer slowly put his hand away, and then the door opened.
Inside there is a wide room, and there are many faeries flying, guards of all races standing with gold armours, they looked like a mythical army, yet they were not. So many guards filled the room, but it seems not so crowded, there were not so many people besides the guards, and mostly seen is maids, and servants, Aden saw what seemed to be a mixed race between a ladybug, and a mantis, its body is of a mantis except for its back and its head, its color is dark red, with dark green arms, and a fully black head, it looked terrifying.
{Be careful, the servant is over level 1000, possibly exceeding Ode. Hell, all of the people here are over level 1000, all the guards are level 5000 least, shit.}
"How are they so strong?"
{It seems like its the norm here.}
'I need to get stronger soon' Aden thought to himself
{That's why that you need to go alone, I'll tell you how to powerlevel later.}
Soon, they stopped, before them is an Ox-man, it looked very bloated but muscular,the Ox's skin is dark brown, and its horns is huge, with a branch growing on top of the two horns, the Ox is smoking through a pipe, and it seemed to notice them a long time ago, its expression is bland mixed with a hint of dissatisfaction, and it finally said something after a long time.
"Ro'p, Po'l, Unbr'a, why did you let them go?" The Ox said with a dissatisfied tone
Ro'p which is the Deer, seemed to tremble when he faced the Ox
"They... They're from the Aleegs', Chief..." Ro'p said that with a hint of stuttering
"Hey, Ro'p, here, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT SOME ALEEGS', YOU KNOW THEY SOUGHT WARS WITH US! IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER ANYMORE IF WE KILLED THEM! huff... You know those refugees are stacking up, right? We can't even support the south anymore, our armies on the south seeks our help, I'm sorry, dear for my anger earlier, the Aleegs' have driven me mad... And who you might be, a Human?!"
"Ah, yes, I'm a human, I recently have transported here."
"Oh, that's why the Aleegs' are targeting you... Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Rann, Chief of the Borders of the Treateries, so, back to the topic, what did the little fella inside your brain do to make the Aleegs' gone mad?"
"I heard that it probed the Counscier of the Aleegs," Ode said in a polite tone.
"Well, that's a good news, so, what's the information did it get?"
{I found many useful ones, a lot, i'll transfer it to you.}
"Woah, it can talk?" Rann was astonished, most AI brain system couldn't speak outside the host's mind
"Alright, I already received the information, there are sure a lot for a level 400-man Counscier." Rann didn't know that Ei was independent to its Host, so Rann thought that Ei was the same as the other Counscier
"Alright everyone, dismissed! As for you, Human, go to the Dimension 90 to level up, you'll be in danger soon, as for you three, hunt those three down, and as for you, Ode, stay in your territory, you'll be safer there. Alright, now, Shoo!" Rann said it with a hint of hurry, he seemed like to report the information to the higher-ups quickly.
Seeing Rann in a hurry, all of them left the venue quickly.
They parted ways, and a servant approached Ode and Aden, the servant quickly guided Ode and Aden into their respective rooms. As for Aden, he will go into Dimension 90 5 days later, so he can relax around first before going there.
Entering his room, he quickly opened what seemed as a refrigerator, and picked a meat and a flask, and cooked the meat with his fire magic, and had dinner before going to sleep
