Chapter 1024: 319. Knowing It Beforehand
Noland Lee pulled up his panel information, looking at the “Energy Points” section.
[Energy Value]1.2 billion/647 (100+547)
The stockpile of energy points was quite substantial.
However, compared to the amount needed for Harmless Deconstruction of the “Bustling Tunnel,” the 1.2 billion in reserve was merely a drop in the bucket.
There was one thing Noland Lee hadn’t quite understood.
When the Assassin Angel mentioned the “Bustling Tunnel,” it said that Noland Lee might acquire this “Sub-Dimensional Plane” in the future.
...
But now, the “Bustling Tunnel” that appeared before Noland Lee was defined by the system as a “Pollution Zone.”
What kind of process would it take to go from “Pollution Zone” to “Sub-Dimensional Plane”?
“Sub-Dimensional Plane” is the foundation for powerful wizards to thrive.
Wizard forces also gain their footing because they possess a “Sub-Dimensional Plane.”
Magic and sub-dimensional planes are both cornerstones of the wizards’ realm of existence.
Understanding the origins of sub-dimensional planes is tantamount to knowing a part of the truth of This World.
“Sir, the Pollution Zone seems to have stopped expanding.”
Nolin interrupted Noland Lee’s thoughts, controlling a Spider Mechanism to approach him, raising one of its spider legs pointing towards the distance.
There, the Pollution Zone made up of colossal grey blood vessels and sores had come to a standstill.
The grey blood vessels formed a magnificent wall that obscured the view, with the entire Stone Forest and Shadow Wind Plain being enveloped by the Pollution Zone.
The Evil Mist Swamp, where Noland Lee was, had narrowly avoided disaster and was only slightly engulfed by the Pollution Zone.
“Deploy a Scout Mech to investigate the Pollution Zone,” Noland Lee said to Nolin:
“Don’t forget to use the Magic Scrolls I gave you, Nolin. They will protect your mind and soul from harm.”
“Yes, Sir. I’m ready.”
Nolin was sitting on Underground Layer 2 of Island 33, well-prepared, shielding herself with “Mental Shield” and “Soul Shield.”
Despite being at least 5,000 kilometers away from the Pollution Zone, considering extraordinary factors, Nolin had to be so cautious.
No one could guarantee that the noise emitted by the “Bustling Tunnel” wouldn’t spread through the mental connection between Nolin and the Mechanos, reaching and affecting her very spirit.
After confirming that the shields had her fully protected, Nolin selected a swift Flight Mechanic to depart for the Pollution Zone.
While she was in action, Noland Lee carefully considered and decided to initiate another round of Harmless Deconstruction.
[System message:]
[You have consumed 100 million points of energy to launch a Harmless Deconstruction on the “Bustling Tunnel.”]
[Your degree of deconstruction of the target has increased to 0.02%.]
[You have obtained the following Deconstruction Results:]
[“Bustling Tunnel’s” Negative effects:]
[“Endless Bustle”:]
[Upon entering the “Bustling Tunnel,” you will be subjected to an unending “bustle.”]
[“Bustle” ignores all kinds of Magic Shields and defensive measures, forcibly subjecting you to the negative effects of “Casting Difficulty” and “Will Test.”]
[“Casting Difficulty” will increase your casting consumption by 10 to 1000 times and prolong the casting time by at least double.]
[“Will Test” will challenge your “willpower” every 10 minutes. If you pass, your “willpower” temporarily decreases by 10 points. If you fail, you will suffer mental damage, and your “willpower” temporarily decreases by 20 points.]
(Insufficient completion degree for Deconstruction, unable to obtain further information)
…
“Hss…”
Noland Lee inhaled sharply.
The investment of a total of 200 million energy points yielded the name of the Pollution Zone and some information about its negative effects.
Based on the information at hand, the difficulty of the “Bustling Tunnel” was far greater than any Pollution Zone Noland Lee had encountered before.
The mere negative effect of “Casting Difficulty” made “Bustling Tunnel” qualify as a “No-Go Zone” for wizards.
It would be unwise to explore it using magical means.
In other words, any caster entering it was flirting with near-certain death.
What about City Lord Solomon and the Soul Shaping Wizards who were at the center of the Pollution Zone? Weren’t they near the ceremony when the Pollution Zone appeared?
The answer to this question remains unknown for now.
The only thing Noland Lee could be sure of was that Lecturer Professor Gilbert Winchester was definitely safe and sound. noveldrama
Because that guy had only sent a Magic Avatar to this place.
Seeing that the mech controlled by Nolin would need some time to fly into the Pollution Zone, Noland Lee simply took out pen and paper and began to communicate with various parties.
Professor Erica wrote that the Wizard Advancement Association had already located the Pollution Zone.
Just as Noland Lee had provided the information, the Pollution Zone was in the Dark Zone, right below the Thousand Peak Domain.
Right now, a team of wizards dispatched by the Wizard Advancement Association was approaching the Pollution Zone.
In about half an hour, Noland Lee might encounter this group of wizards.
Besides, wizard forces like the Shadow Wizards who collect shadow energy, the Earth Rock Wizard forces capable of drilling through the Slate Layer, and the Pure Light Court, which likes to aggressively clear out Pollution Zones, had also sent their own exploration teams.
Professor Erica mentioned in her letter that Noland Lee would be better off taking an avoidance strategy, not to confront these wizard teams head-on.
Especially not to confront the Pure Light Court face-to-face.
Often, to claim all the Spoils of War within a Pollution Zone, the Pure Light Court would employ various means to deal with other wizard forces and wizards.
