The Rise Of Calamity

Chapter 305 Entering The Dimensional Crack IV

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.

However, even though they were leaving, I could see that the Lion was still standing in the same place, looking at me weirdly and not following his master, looking at me as if I reminded him of something but he simply couldn't put his finger on it.

"Scar? Let's go" Croloe gestured for the lion to come again, yet the lion did not move as he simply looked me in the eyes after I had turned my head around.

"You don't smell like a human" The Lion spoke, making my eyes widen for a second as I did not expect him to be able to speak for some odd reason.

"Really?" I chuckled while rubbing the back of my neck.

"Yes... You don't smell like a beast either even though you do have some dragon blood within you..." It remarked as it studied my eyes, choosing not to break eye contact even though my eyes had a strong repelling feature that would have caused anyone else to look away.

"You smell like any other beast though." I chuckled awkwardly as my stubborn self chose not to break eye contact either, leaving us in a staring match where none of us could blink or look away.

"What are you two doing?" Laila's face palmed as she watched both of them talking to each other, however, she couldn't understand the Lion, something Croloe wasn't suffering from.

She had simply thought the Lion had been interested in me and would sniff me before leaving, but what she was seeing was both of us just looking into the eyes of each other while the Lion occasionally grumbled and I answered.

"You can talk to beasts!?" Croloe finally snapped out of his confusion and yelled at the top of his lungs, making multiple people look toward us while some decided to stay, curious to know what the man shouting had been talking about.

"Don't yell master"

"Don't yell dumbass"

We both spoke at the same time, but we just ended it differently, the Lion choosing to be respectful while I simply called him out for what he was.

Laila was now a little confused but she still looked at Croloe like he was an idiot.

"Alright, I'll just see you when we go into the dimensional crack. Cool?" I whispered, but it was loud enough for him to hear with his amazing beast ears that could probably hear a whisper from 20 meters away.

While that may seem impressive to a normal person, I on the other hand would have not been impressed due to having the ability to literally perceive everything in a 60-meter radius.

Nodding, the lion turned around and began to walk towards his master before finally falling into the magic circle he activated himself.

Not waiting for what the two were going to say, I went back into my tent and quickly put everything in my dimensional ring before going outside, quickly folding my tent and also putting it inside even though I could have put it all into the dimensional space without worrying about having to unfold it while making it once again.

Yet, I chose not to do so since there were countless people looking at us right now.

"When does the dimensional crack open up for us to go in?" I asked Laila, making her finally get out of her dazed contemplating state.

"Tomorrow at Dawn... But wait I want to talk to you abou-" She stretched out her hand to touch my shoulder just for her hand to hit nothing as I had disappeared with a faint trace of golden lighting left to crack on the ground, scorching it in the process.

'I couldn't see her' Everyone including Laila and Croloe thought at the same time.

A day quickly passed where I simply cultivated in the forest, around 19 miles (30.57 km) away from the area, absorbing so much mana and soul energy that the plants and green around me had slowly started becoming grey and eventually black before turning into ashes as all the mana within them left their body.

Finally getting up after an entire day of cultivation, I looked around just to see that everything living within a 10-meter radius had been turned into ashes and dead plants.

It was so bad that when I had taken out all the water elemental energies from the ground, ti had started to shrink and therefore creating a drought-like land where cracks appeared all over it.

[You really should find a way to cultivate at full power without having that happening every time, don't you think?]

'Hey! You're the one who gave me the breath of eternity! Shouldn't you be the one to tell me how to fix this problem?'

[Well, that's like ordering a pizza and asking the delivery guy how you should eat it and getting angry when they reply 'Hot']

'That analogy doesn't make sens-'

[Oh! Look at the time! Seems like it is time for you to leave hahaha]

'...'

Within the next 30 minutes, I 'walked' back to the military camp outside of the dimensional crack before finally reaching the actual dimensional crack which has become exceptionally easier due to the fluctuations it was giving off since it was about to open for us.

'Hela?'

[Yeah]

'you know how the crack is made for nothing inside to leave until a certain period, yet for some reason, we can enter it when it 'opens' for us?'

[Yeah]

'What if that was to happen to us? What if the things inside could enter our world, while we on the other hand couldn't enter theirs?'

[Just enter and you will understand] Hela replied cryptically, causing me to frown yet at the same time, simply shrug it off since the crack was just about to open.

"Yo~" I said as I appeared right behind Croloe and Laila, yet before they could say anything, a loud shout from above could be heard as the same woman that I had met the first time I entered the camp roared at the top of her lungs while holding some king od crystal in her hand.

"IT'S OPENING!"
