Chapter 2123 Second Pocket Dimension
The next day.
Sam is back in the Olympian region. He came back the night before, but he stayed in the room alone ruminating over the business deals he made with Joran. Ivar has underestimated Joran too much. That man might be a good judge of battle prowess, but he is definitely not good at spotting these kinds of mind games and tricks.
Sam felt that the deals with Joran might speed up his plan.
As for why? He doesn"t know it himself. It was just pure instinct after noticing the city.
With those thoughts he rested the night and now in the morning, he walked to the Dionysus academy with a faint smile and a relaxed posture. With his hands in his pockets, one might mistake him for a person going on a walk into the park.
Sam reached the Dean"s office and informed his reason of arrival to the a.s.sistant.
"You finished the quest?" "You finished the qust?" That"s all the a.s.sistant said. That was all he was able to say. He had his mouth wide open as he walked into the office and informed the dean about it.
Fifteen minutes later.
"What the h.e.l.l? You finished the quest."
The Dean looked at the crystal bottle full of Illuthralith"s blood. It was much purer, stronger and potent than the blood of Illutrhralith the pocket dimension hosted.
"Where did you get it?" The Dean asked.
"How is that relevant?" Sam asked.
Dean was caught off guard and then only he realized that he wasn"t supposed to ask that question. IT doesn"t matter where Sam got it from. Since he got it, the quest should be over. But he cannot just stare at Sam like a dumb idiot and say that he asked just for he sake of it.
As for admitting that he forgot, there is no way, he is doing that.
So, he found something and clutched on to it.
"What if you just stole it from someone? What if you just bought it?"
"What if I did exactly as you said? What is the point of it. You and I both know that it doesn"t matter where I got it from.
Please start the procedures and finish this whole fiasco. I have a pocket dimension to attend."
Sam left after that.
Sam is actually surprised by how interested his friends are regarding this. He expected at least some enthusiasm, but they were completely averse to this. If only the rest of the academy realm knew what they were doing.
He wondered if they would gain more ire from stealing the inheritance or for refusing to absorb it.
The excess activity of the other regions of course bothered the academies more than Sam and his friends.
While things were like this, leading up to the second pocket dimension, Dayus and White were on an exhaustive search for the Flaming skulls. And they were using a very unique method. The energy signatures.
That was what they did before everyone could leave the grey area while the rewards are being distributed for the last pocket dimension.
Dayus and White registered the energy signatures of all the people that were in that pocket dimension and they started tracking all those people. There was a continuous twenty four hour tail on them to observe all of their actions.
Whenever there is a suspicion on someone, particularly if they are just a common citizen without any backing, they were tracked, nailed and beaten down until every last thing about them was brought out.
Most were directly killed and their souls were absorbed to search through their memories. Unfortunately for them, they were the wrong targets. Dayus and White don"t have any other way to know that information other than attacking them.
And as expected, the more failed searches happened, the more frustrated they have become. Soon, their moods became unbearable and even the slightest disturbance provoked them to the extreme. At least it was the case for Dayus.
Soon it is time for the second pocket dimension.
Unlike the first one, this one is limited to the Academy students, which caused a lot of discontent among the citizens, but they could little about it. The pocket dimension rules were set by the G.o.d who created it.
The academies don"t have any control even if they desire it.
This pocket dimension was created by Hermes.
This pocket dimension was very similar to the first one, except in this one people don"t have to fight against elemental creatures as such.
Instead, they need to clear zones.
Each zone will have a different layout and different problem, but most of them if not all are related to the wind and wind element.
When a person clears a zone, they would have a mark on their hand. There are hundreds of such zones in the pocket dimension, big and small. Each zone has a different score based on the timing and the method of completion.
The mark given for a zone will depend of these aspects and based on that mark the final score will be calculated.
As usual, the highest score will be given the reward.
Sam doesn"t know which special zones are going to give him those special rewards. He once again will have to do the research. Of course, this time he has a bunch of other players to trouble Dayus, so even if he doesn"t get anything out of it, things will work out in his favor.
But what is fun in not winning?
