MY 10,000× DIMENSIONAL SYSTEM

Chapter 151 Jenny

Jenny

Jenny woke up in a cold sweat, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Her eyes darted around the room, and she was about to sit up when a firm hand was pushed against her chest.

"Calm down, Mistress, you're safe." The familiar voice caused her to relax, and her tensed muscles slowly loosened.

"Uncle Auro..." She said softly. She then grimaced as she became aware of the pain in her body.

Her entire body ached, but the worst of the pain came from her arms. Moreover, she noticed that they felt constricted, and when she tried to bend them at her elbows, she failed.

She lifted them to see both her arms covered in a strange blue gauze. A strong medicinal smell coming off them.

"The frost from that blizzard was truly remarkable as it was deadly. If not for Riri, you might have lost your arms." Her gaze shifted to her uncle, who looked like your standard handsome individual with a well-kept dark blue beard and low-cut style.

On his shoulder was a green salamander, which looked at Jenny with intelligent eyes.

"....Thank you..." She said softly, dropped her arms, and closed her eyes.

Uncle Auro was silent for a moment, and then he sighed.

"Jenny, I won't yell at you for being reckless, but I need to know, why did you do that. You knew the risks, and you knew that employing the help of your people would make the journey easier. That's why they are here in the first place to help you. What you did back there just made it redundant." When he said this, Jenny covered her eyes with one of her bandaged arms.@@@@

"... I could handle it." She retorted, but it was weak, and she knew it.

"Yeah, and you've sustained an injury that will make your journey in this Hidden realm more difficult than it should be," Auro said a little bluntly, and Jenny sighed.

"I'm a summoner anyway. It's not like I have to fight using my arms." Auro closed his eyes when he heard that and took a deep breath.

"That's not the point. The point is that you could have easily avoided being in this situation, but you acted on your emotions rather than logic." He explained calmly, and Jenny was silent.

She knew this. In fact, she wholly agreed with his words and knew what she did was stupid. After all, this entire expedition was to let her grow stronger. Everything else was secondary. If she died due to her poor decisions, then what would be the point of everything?

She acknowledged that, and yet she couldn't bring herself to be practical.

"... I can't let anyone get harmed because of me." She said after a while, her voice devoid of its usual bravado.

"I think we should establish contact and see what happens. Strictly non-violent. If they can get past Father and the others, then they definitely have some powerful methods. Unless we are sure we can defeat them in a fight, I'd like to avoid conflict unless they initiate it." Hearing this, Auro nodded, a hint of satisfaction in his gaze.

"I was thinking of the same thing. Their origins, abilities, and methods are mysterious. But they don't seem hostile. It would be wise to establish contact and see what we're dealing with before we try anything drastic." He said in agreement, and Jenny laid back down and exhaled.

The ache in her damaged arms didn't feel good, but she welcomed the pain. It helped her think.

"With that settled, what about us? Should we continue to rest and recuperate? Or should we continue our journey?" Auro asked, and Jenny was silent for a moment. Then she replied.

"Let's wait for my Mana to recover. After that, we'll proceed, but at a slower pace. I want us to be able to reach this strange force should any unforeseen circumstances occur." She said, and Auro nodded slightly.

"Alright, I'll issue the the order." He stood up to leave but paused, then he turned around and put his hand on her forehead and said softly.

"Rest well, Jen." Then he left the room.

Jenny stayed there for a bit before sighing and opening her eyes. However, the tired and hesitant look in her eyes was replaced with the usual stubborn pride everyone was used to.

"Tch, my arms are injured, and there's an unregistered force? So what? I'll just crush everything in my way. As always." She huffed and sat up and started to circulate her Mana.

Inside the Primordial Expanse, on top of a tall building within the Haven of the Enlightened, a figure wearing a green robe that hid their face could be seen sitting down cross-legged, their hands dancing through the air like a conductor at an Orchestra.

If someone was able to see fate though, they'd see how hundreds of fate threads were being manipulated and woven at incredible speeds every second.

The figure looked extremely mysterious and gave off an unfathomable and vague Aura that would cause a normal person to question themselves if they saw them.

At that moment though, the figure paused for a moment and turned their head, the action causing their hood to fall back, revealing the beautiful face of Aisha.

Behind her was Sylvaris, her mother.

"Mother? What's wrong?" She asked calmly, her hands still weaving fate threads at dazzling speeds.

Sylvaris didn't say anything and just came to sit next to her and looked up at the black and blue moon that hung high in the sky of the Primordial Expanse, Nihilheim looming in the distance.

"How has your new work been treating you?" She finally asked and Aisha smiled.

"Well enough."
