Chapter 171: The beginning of new journey... part 1

Ibro was satisfied by her attitude. He then left the place under her guidance. No one tried to stop both of them till they left the town. Ibro then moved in a different direction than the way she took.

He had a vague feeling telling him to move into a certain direction. He wasn't sure, but his deep feeling was always right. It never failed him even once.

He started his journey moving towards the southwest. Ibro kept moving through his own feelings only. He didn't know what was going on, but each step he took his feelings became more intense.

He met a lot of monsters on the way. He didn't even bother to evade them. His high level now made him move with complete trust. After nearly one day of travel, he suddenly heard the voice of Gozline saying:

'I can feel the presence of higher spiritual energy concentration to the southwest from here. Keep moving in that direction.'

Ibro felt astonished. That was the direction he was heading to from the start. Was his inner feeling directing him towards that place? He really needed a higher concentration of spiritual energy.

He kept moving in a more excited mood towards that direction. In the distance, he saw the emergence of huge mountains that extended to the end of the earth in front of his eyesight.

He felt his feeling getting more intense to the degree he felt it pulsating like his own heartbeats. He kept moving forward not focusing on anything else.

After a few hours, he reached the outer margins of this majestic looking chain on mountains. He moved slower trying to find the way in this maze.

'Move to the south directly from here. I can sense the higher concentration of spiritual energy from here. That place is one kilometer to the south. Move directly to the south. Why are you moving to the southwest?'

'Can you calm down, please? It's me who should be this anxious, not you. There is no way to move directly to the south, the whole entrance is blocked by this huge mountain as you can see.'

'Use your jumping ability then. I can feel the presence of this higher energy 1 kilometer from here to the south. Jump directly to there.'

Ibro knew what Gozline was talking about. It was mentioning Dronil's teleport ability. The main problem wasn't in teleporting, but what Dronil had scouted there.

'One kilometer south from here has nothing but the main body of this mountain. You need to chill out a little and let me take a look around.'

'I'm telling you I can feel that energy from here. I don't care about what you have seen but I know that energy is definitely there. Just trust me and jump one kilometer to the south from here. C'mon jump.'

'Dronil, what do you think?'

'I can't sense this type of energy and I scouted that place over and over again.

I can't find anything except rocks. I don't know but this loud soul stone seems to be pretty sure of its feeling. Let's give it a try anyway. There is no danger there.'

Ibro thought for a bit about Dronil's suggestion. It had a point here. If he couldn't find anything useful there then he could move back here.

'Ok, move me 1 kilometer to the south then.'

'Hold tight.'

Ibro then moved in the same familiar way he used to from Dronil. At once he stood on the huge body of this mountain. He looked around him. There was nothing but rocks everywhere. He sighed and said in a disappointment:

'I told you there is nothing there.'

'No, you are mistaken. I can feel the energy right here. It's just… I don't know how to describe it.

It's like there is a barrier that holds you back. It's just like you are at it and not at the same time. Anyway, the spiritual energy concentration here is the highest I have ever felt. I suggest you enter my space here.'

Ibro had no objection at all for the place he started to train at. His inner feeling was also pulsating to the maximum here. He made up his mind and said:

'You can consume the ores and herbs I bought for you. Let's see the result of all these sent coins.'

'As you wish my lord. I won't disappoint you.'

Ibro didn't comment and waited for it to finish absorbing all these expensive items. As before, Gozline flew from his Inventory with the company of over 200 different items.

It took Gozline over one hour to finish absorbing all these materials. Its surface had acquired a layer of brightness that seemed like it was a halo originated from the depth of it. It flew over the head of Ibro like it was celebrating while it said in an ecstatic tone:

'I did it. I have healed more than 40% of my injuries. Although I need a lot more of these things now to heal me but now I have opened two new functions.'

'That's good. Tell me what your new functions are.'

'The first one enables me to peep into the future. Although I don't know exactly what it is, I feel this ability is unique and powerful.'

'a prediction ability. That's good. What is the second ability?'

'It's an auxiliary passive ability that enables me to augment any other ability of mine by five folds. It's not a big useful ability I guess.'

Ibro's eyes shone as he commented:

'No, you are mistaken. This is a very useful ability, especially at this stage.

I want you to use it on your spacing ability and try to create spaces inside spaces. Let's see how deep your ability has reached after all these upgrades.'

'The maximum number of times I can use my abilities are four times only. That meant I could make almost four spaces. Do you want me to try now?'

'Sure, c'mon do it.'

'As you wish my lord.'

Ibro waited for a few minutes. He didn't feel any strangeness around him. He knew he couldn't perceive the changes that occurred at the spaces the Gozline was creating. After nearly ten minutes of waiting, Gozline's voice came stating:

'I have tried to establish four spaces many times but I failed. I tried to establish three spaces and I finally managed to stabilize them.'

'That's good. No problem Gozline. You will overcome this in the future, I'm sure of this.'

'It's not my fault here. Every time I try to create that fourth space I feel like I'm hitting into a mighty wall.

I believe that my limit will be these three spaces. Anyway, I have applied some changes in these spaces. I added the time element. In the first space, the time speed is faster 10 times than here.

That means ten minutes there equals 1 minute here. The second space is 100 times faster than here. The third space is 1000 times faster than here. That meant one thousand days there equal one day here.'

Ibro felt astonished at first then he got very excited. That Gozline had given him another godlike ability. If this cold stone was a girl he would have hugged and kissed here now. He said in excitement:

'That's a great job, Gozline. I'm very satisfied with you. I promise you to work harder to get you what you want from herbs and ores to make you heal.'

'That's very kind of you, my lord. I did nothing but my job here.'

'And you did it brilliantly. Now move me into the third space, I need to start my training there.'

'Ok, I will move you now.'
