MY 10,000× DIMENSIONAL SYSTEM

Chapter 61 Void Reaver

Void Reaver

'I knew it.' Felicia narrowed her eyes.

Despite pouring all her strength into her arm, her Rapier did not advance another inch and failed to pierce The Voidwalker's neck.

Protecting him was the same darkbarrier as before, but this one seemed to have an even deeper sense of that emptiness that the others possessed. When she struck, it was as if she'd hit a barrier, but instead, it was as though there was a profound emptiness between her Rapier and his neck, so despite the fact her Rapier seemed to have stopped moving, Felicia felt as though her Rapier had fallen into an abyss and was still moving forward with nothing in sight.

Without hesitation, she jumped backwards, but the Voidwalker made no attempt to follow or counter and simply stared at her.

"That was close." He mumbled.

"No luck?" Han asked his sister and she shook his head.

"Maybe if I had more time, but something tells me he won't allow that to happen." Hearing this, the Voidwalker laughed.

"Exactly right." The Voidwalker chuckled and brought out a black cube. Or, that's what it looked like anyway.

He seemed to be holding it, but it just looked... wrong. It was as though the light simply didn't reach that spot, that's why one could kind of make out its shape as a cube. But it didn't seem to be there at the same time. Like how in a video game an item would be blacked out if it was locked.

The cube gave off no Aura, no incredible might or anything like that. Quite frankly, it didn't even seem to be there, like a figment of one's imagination.

And yet when Felicia, Han, and Curtis saw it, they all had a very bad feeling.

"Can we not just run?" Han asked and Felicia glanced at him.

"You know damn well that's not possible." She replied and Han cursed. She was right.

If whatever it was the Voidwalker was about to do was able to make them feel on guard like this, then chances are that running wouldn't be possible, especially when Curtis was unable to fight and Titus was unconscious which would slow them down.

The Voidwalker calmly raised his hand over the "cube" and used his magic to cut himself causing blood to drip on it.

The moment his blood came into contact with the cube, something strange happened.

Pretty much instantly, a massive rift that carried with it the same feeling of emptiness appeared on the ceiling. There was no sound that indicated its appearance, and the group was fairly sure they wouldn't have noticed it if they hadn't been looking in that direction.

Felicia instantly focused her attention on the rift, her eye working overtime as she captured every single detail she could and waited with Han.

Curtis had already carried Titus further away and activated an artifact Han had given him that encased himself and his brother inside a powerful barrier.

"I doubt you guys will survive this, but I'll give a small introduction regardless." The Voidwalker chuckled and a moment later, a deep bellow escaped the rift.

The sound seemed to travel through the very bones and caused everyone to shudder. There was no Aura again, but their unease grew with every passing moment.

Still, progress was slow, and that's when Felicia made a decision.

"Han! Get Close!" She said and her brother immediately made his way towards her, and after several close calls, he managed to reach her.

She gave him a look and he seemed to understand immediately. With a thought, his magic was activated, and a moment later, his body and hers became much lighter as their mass reduced significantly.

And that wasn't all as Felicia also used her magic, and a moment later, several clones of herself and Han appeared. But it was difficult to distinguish them from the originals as they perfectly mimicked their Auras and presence.

For those that don't know, Felicia possessed Illusion magic, which was already quite devious, but what made her illusions even more terrifying was the fact that, with her eye which gave her astounding insight on the world, the illusions she could create were so realistic that differentiating them from reality was incredibly difficult.

That's how she got her title the Insightful Deceiver, because her Illusions were simply harrowing to combat against, and her eye made her even more difficult to fight.

Still even with all that, it was taking all she had to get herself and her brother closer to the main mass of the Void Reaver.

The moment they appeared, the clones immediately started to move forward as well while dodging the tentacles. And with the now larger number of opponents, the creature had to split its attention between each of them, causing the pressure the real Han and Felicia faced to lessen significantly and their progress to increase.

As for why Felicia was so keen on getting closer despite knowing their magic would probably have no effect on the creature, she noticed another thing while she observed it.

The thing had many more tentacles. There were hundreds swarming them, yes, but there were at least twice that amount in its center. Yet they didn't try to attack. Instead, they simply writhed together, almost as if they were protecting something.

And seeing as how the thing's movements became more frantic the closer they got, she was fairly certain her deduction was correct.

If there was one thing that eased the burden of reading so much information, it was that the creature's movements weren't exactly precise or well thought out. As such, it was fairly predictable and thus, reduced the risk of her burning herself out too quickly.

Still with how fast they were moving, Felicia knew her brain would eventually reach its limit and burn out. But she was far away from that point and had time to spare.

So eventually, she got close with her brother, and changed the way she moved.

That's because after getting too close, the tentacles that had been reluctant to join the fight suddenly sprang forth with terrible speed towards her and her brother.

She wanted to retreat a small bit, but then Han suddenly moved and increased the mass of the air around the Tentacles to slow them down. The results were negligible at best, but they were just enough for them to avoid the swarm without being pushed back.

However another issue had been presented, the tentacles could now fully surround them and leave no openings. As such, they were about to get drowned.

But the two of them still kept their cool.

That's because while the situation was precarious, the Void Reaver had also revealed what it had been protecting so adamantly.

In its center, a formless core could be seen.
