Chapter 585: Portal (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
In Angele's sight, he could see the sea of black crystals and the dark portal was moving closer and closer to him .
Suddenly, a white hand reached out of the portal and slowly moved toward Angele .
'Come to me… I'm ready this time…' Angele decided not to resist; he just stared at the hand quietly but was ready to fully release his power .
*PA*
The hand grabbed Angele's left arm .
Suddenly, a strong force started dragging Angele to the dark portal .
Strangely, the blue light dots disappeared from Angele's eyes and the biochip was no longer zooming in .
It was like he was dragged into a different dimension . The whole world was spinning in his sight and he could not see anything . Angele thought he was falling down a white cylinder but he could see the white and black light dots flashing around him .
Several seconds later .
Angele slowly stood up on a platform over a black crystal under the gray sky . His face was pale and his head dizzy .
Raising his head, Angele checked the surroundings, but all he could see were the black crystals . He was also standing on a crystal .
"Where am I…?" Angele looked around .
His sight fell upon an area behind him . There was an irregular black hole with chilling air coming out of it . A pale arm was slowly returning into the hole; it disappeared after reaching the edge of the hole .
"My body shrank?" Angele was surprised, he walked to the black hole and peeked inside .
The only thing he could see was darkness . Although he had high Stamina, he still felt cold in the chilling air and goosebumps were rising from his skin .
Angele inhaled deeply but realized that he could not feel any gas .
'My body definitely shrank, but I'm too small and the elemental molecules are bigger than my body…' Angele held his breath . 'Luckily, I can survive without breathing, otherwise, it'd be a problem…'
Angele moved away from the black hole and checked the platform he was standing on .
It was a relatively small platform about five meters long and six meters wide . He walked to the edge of the platform and looked down .
Below the crystal was an endless abyss .
The place was deadly silent, it felt like standing in a forest of black crystals and the platform under his feet was the only thing that he could stand on .
He looked at one of the black crystals, the top of the crystal reached far into the gray sky .
'I can't see the top of the bottom… If my body is much smaller than before, it'll take me a long time to reach the top or the bottom of the crystal…'
He moved to the other side of the platform but the situation was the same .
'Warning, warning… The time here is different… Do you want to adjust it?' Zero's voice suddenly echoed in his ears .
Angele checked the time that was displayed in his sight .
'15:42:12 . '
However, the clock stopped and he had no idea what was going on .
'What's happening…' Angele stared at the clock and waited several seconds, however, nothing happened .
'Is it due to the power of the Lost Realm or is there something wrong with my nerve system? Am I moving and thinking faster than before? I need to give the biochip the permission to adjust the time for me . Zero, adjust the time . '
After Angele gave the order, he saw lines of blue data flashing in his sight . A lot of random numbers appeared behind the clock and it seemed like many things were changing .
He checked the clock again and it seemed like the biochip developed a new way to calculate the time . The number still looked the same but the clock started running again .
'I knew time might be different for different realms but this one is a bit strange…' Angele checked the time—the smallest unit was not "second", it was something much smaller . 'This is a new unit that I've never seen and this is a whole new experience for me… Very interesting…'
Angele adjusted the time and sat down with his legs crossed on the platform . He rested for a while and tried to adapt to the new environment .
About half an hour later, he slowly stood up and walked to the edge of the black hole .
'This is a legendary realm… Let me see what's so different about it…' He stood in front of the black hole and jumped into it .
He lost to the gravity and started sinking into the endless darkness .
The hole above him was getting smaller and smaller, it turned into a small dot several seconds later .
The dot slowly disappeared into the darkness and there was nothing else in his sight .
Angele had no idea how long passed . He noticed that his feet landed on the ground steadily .
He was still in darkness but noticed that there was a stinky smell in the air .
"Cough… I can smell things again?"
*CHI*
He created a small ball of fire on his fingertip to brighten up the area .
The light revealed the surroundings and Angele realized that he was standing in a white tunnel .
There was a white wall behind him . It felt like that he was standing in a random cave that was full of stalactites .
'Wait… Those are not stalactites…' Angele's expression turned serious . He rubbed on the surface of the wall—it felt like touching a damaged wall .
Angele lowered his hand and sniffed at his fingers . They smelled like blood and he also noticed something rotten .
He took a step forward .
*PA*
His feet hit something in front of him with a noise .
Angele checked the ground using the light from the fire, there was a pile of white bones under his feet . The ground was covered with countless skulls and bones . His feet were almost buried in the bones .
He found some weapons, accessories, and damaged armor in the white bones .
*PA*
Angele picked up an iron leg guard, however, it broke into pieces when he tried to lift it up .
His brow furrowed as he picked some other items, but all of them broke into pieces right after they were lifted .
Under the dim light, Angele started proceeding in the tunnel . The bones on the ground were from human beings, random beasts, giants, and giant birds . He also found books, outfits, gems, crystals, and many other random things in piles of bones .
He kept trying to pick the items up but all of them crumbled in the air . Some of them were still glowing, however, none of them was still usable, and the books were unreadable .
'These are just garbage…'
Angele dropped a blue crystal pillar that was still glowing to the ground and started moving again . He was still checking the bones constantly .
'Those bones are from thousands of years ago but they are still in good shape . I think those creatures were strong creatures when they were still alive, but I don't see any traces left by a battle… Those creatures were not killed during a war . I hope I can find something like the crystal orb used by the wizards here…'
Angele glanced at the bones . Suddenly, he found something that was releasing purple light under a bronze shield ahead .
He walked to the shield, crouched, and moved it away . There was a thick purple book glowing under a silver mace and a white bow . The book was old and its cover was slightly damaged .
There was a black keyhole in the center of the cover and there were some silver patterns that looked like flowers around the keyhole .
Angele carefully removed the mace and the bow before grabbing the purple book .
He slowly opened the book and started reading—the words on the red paper were written in the Chaos language .
'The notebook of the North Empire's vanguards . This is our first day of the trip to Lost Realm and we entered the Bone Tunnel without any problems…'
The rest of the words were unreadable . Angele rubbed the page using his fingers but it made the words even harder to read .
He started turning pages . Most of the words were blurred, but he finally found something that was readable when he reached the 23rd page .
'Nate was killed, we returned to the Bone Tunnel . This is… Jump… Lost…'
Those were the only readable words he could find .
The rest of the pages had no valuable information . He closed his book and scrunched his eyebrows .
He checked the surroundings again and noticed the end of the tunnel turned from a white way to endless darkness . It felt like the tunnel would lead him into the abyss if he decided to go back .
The area in the front was also dark .
Angele stood in the tunnel quietly . With a flick of his left finger, he created a fireball over his left shoulder .
He put down the book on the ground and started advancing slowly .
He did not find many glowing items ahead, but he noticed some complete skeletons .
Angele had no idea how long had passed before he finally found some human bones under a purple robe . He checked the bones and found a translucent crystal orb .
The crystal orb was dirty and its surface was covered with cracks . It felt like the orb could explode at any time .
Angele picked up the orb carefully and rubbed it several times using his hands .
*CHI*
The crystal orb started glowing and made some strange noise .
"Well…" A young man's face appeared in the crystal orb . The man's face was upside down and he had a pair of yellow eyes .
"This is a crystal orb from my mother… This is the 153rd day of… Wait, let me double-check…"
"Come on, don't play with my orb . Go sit down on the side . " A hoarse female voice came from the orb .
The young man's face slowly moved away from the orb, revealing the white walls of Bone Tunnel .
