Chapter 304 Entering The Dimensional Crack III

While thinking about all of this, I could not help but feel a pair of eyes land on me before beginning to inspect me from head to toe, focusing on my eyes for a little too long to be comfortable, especially after I had made eye contact with his pitch-black eyes that seemed to have stared into my very soul.

Seeing his eyes had some kind of attribute he was manually using to overpower the passive effects my eyes had, I could not help but chuckle before reciprocating with my own active eye abilities.

When head looked into my eyes, it was as if his mind had been transferred to a different plane of existence where he was thrown into the depth of space, moved at the speed of light while watching stars die and birth new ones, while planets became more and more alive before becoming barren and empty, without vegetation and simply an empty landscape without a single speck of life within it.

When he finally came back to his senses, he looked toward where I had been sitting just to widen his eyes in surprise.

'Where did she go?' He asked himself, looking around frantically trying to look for where I had disappeared to, just to get looked at weirdly by his friends and the others who were accompanying his group for the time being

Seeing how his friends were looking at him as if he was crazy, he was about to give up looking, falling for the idea that he might have been hallucinating until he finally heard a whisper come out of seemingly nowhere.

"Do not play with fire" My whisper echoed in his ears as the wind magic I used allowed him to hear me clearly.

It was only then I felt that another gaze had landed on me once again, making me look around and stare in the direction, wondering if my cloaking ability was working properly since everyone seemed to be able to see me

After staring a little deeper, I realized that the person who was looking at me was none other than the same person with the strong mana fluctuations from before, looking at me from a few hundred meters away from me as if he was looking through me rather than at me.

Even then, I chose to ignore him and walk away.

I didn't see the two nor did I look for them in the next 20 hours as I just scoured the city and eventually got bored when the time came.

When this did happen, I set up my tent and sat inside, cultivating with my body sucking in enormous amounts of mana per second, making the people around me complain about the mana shortage while others began to move away from me, hoping they would not need to deal with another talented arrogant person who kept stealing all the mana from the area without consideration.

How could they have known that I was stealing mana equally from the entire city, and since all the mana had come towards me, the area they were in was the richest in mana compared to the rest of the city?

Ignoring them, I cultivated for the next three days without stopping for a single second, sucking all the ambient mana particles alongside the elemental particles in the air making it hard for any normal person to create a spell.

If that was not enough, I was stealing all the ambient soul energy, and why that was nothing like actually taking the soul of someone and cultivating with its energy, being able to take the soul energy from around me made it easier for me to cultivate both paths of mana and soul energy without having to give up on one for the meantime.

Anyway, after cultivating for so long, I heard someone call out from outside my tent.

The sound of their voice was familiar, but for a reason, I couldn't put my finger on who's voiced it actually was.

Halting my cultivation, I forced my eyes open and looked in the direction of the voice just o see the silhouette of two humans and a single beast.

When looking at the beast, I could not help but raise a brow in astonishment at the fact that the city would let any kind of beast into the city, yet after looking at it for a bit longer, I found that there was something weird about it,

'A soul imprint?' I thought, seemingly confused as if I didn't know what the words I had thought of actually meant.

[A soul imprint is something like the one you made with Olivia. While the one between you and Olivia is one that is more of a trade than anything else, she keeps your secrets and serves you while you let her live and treat her equally, the one with the beasts seems more like a soul imprint of a master-servant bond made between usually a beast and a humanoid species like the dwarves, elves, and humans... Even though I don't actually think that the elves would do something like enslaving a beast] Hela added the last part after a brief pause.

Intrigued, I finally chose to walk outside the tent, yet even though my eyes were looking at the two in front of me, I used my 360-degree vision to focus on the lion who seemed to have felt my gaze even though was not directly looking at him.

"You guys finally came?" I asked Laila and Croloe who both looked disheveled for some odd reason.

When they looked back at me, I could feel distinct anger within their eyes, yet when they finally opened their mouths to speak, they did curse, rage, or tantrum at me and instead, spoke calmly as if this was just another normal day.

"Well, we took a bit longer than you did but we are here now. We are going to set up our own tents before showering and coming back, we just wanted to tell you to stop sucking out all the mana in the area because it is getting annoying" Croloe stated before turning around and gesturing towards his lion to do so too.

Seeing that Croloe had held back from saying anything else, Laila could only sigh as she gave me a piercing gaze and also chose to leave, not wanting to be near me any longer since she could have just snapped at me at any moment if she felt like it.
