Chapter 3170: What Was Your Name?

chapter 3170: what was your name?



rifindio looked at the crack in space disappear, still having his doubts. "how did you know the crack was going to open?"

roan felt annoyed, looking at rifindio as if he was looking at a fool. no, roan absolutely considered rifindio to be an imbecile. "you can't be that idiotic, can you? look around, kid. the space here is extremely fragile. yet, here you are, circulating your divine energy nonstop in an environment that could collapse at any moment. you are pretty much a needle trying to burst a balloon. what did you expect? when you passed by an area slightly more fragile, the space around you simply couldn't contend with all that energy anymore. thus..." roan didn't finish his words.

good thing that the camazotz bat was red in color. otherwise, rean's group would definitely see rifindio's red face at the moment. "ahem... thank you for warning me..."

"hmph!" roan turned his attention away, ignoring the bat kid.

rifindio calmed down, and his divine energy concentrated back into his core. only the bare minimum was now being used for him to move around. he joined the twins and kentucky again, and they continued on their way deep into those ruins in space.

on the way, rean noticed an emblem on one of those ruins, which he couldn't recognize. "hey, dracula. you have more information than us," rean commented. "do you know anything about this?"

rifindio wasn't the least bit happy with the dracula name, but he didn't retort either. "i've never seen it before." he approached the piece of wall with the emblem, taking a closer look. "but i recognize the material used on this emblem."

"oh, that much i did, too," rean commented as well. "it's green sasgli marble." back in lisan, it had another name, but rean made sure to learn the name here in the werdlem empire for most minerals, ores, etc.

"what?!" rifindio felt a chill on his back. was roan reading his mind? no, the important part was his words. "is there another way?"

roan obviously didn't answer. "you are indeed way too young." well, he didn't know if there was another method anyway. he just wanted to make rifindio more confused, and it worked. "where are we now? is this the supreme palace? obviously not. yet, if you know chaos energy, you must have noticed it here as well. since there is chaos energy here, do you think the supreme palace is the only place where it is available? i'll leave it at that for you to think."

rifindio thought about that piece of news, wondering if he could get access to chaos energy somewhere else. he knew chaos energy, but he didn't have access to it. only the most important members of the supreme palace had access to it and only a little bit. all the rest was being used by triaglia alone. in any case, this kind of energy wasn't something he could use at his level.

their group continued forward for several thousands of kilometers. ruins and more ruins continued to appear, and their number actually increased. any slight touch would make them crumble, not giving them many clues about what this place was. it was old, no doubt, but that was all they knew about it.

"hum?" kentucky's eyes spotted a partially broken monument far in the distance in the middle of the ruins. "there is something there."

they quickly approached, rifindio still keeping his distance from the twins' group. finally, they could see it better.

it was basically a monument depicting the solar system they found themselves in at the moment. all the seven inhabited planets could be seen, and another three planets were empty due to the poor environment or because they were just gas giants.

however, the closal planet in that monument seemed quite different from the rest. the monument depicted some kind of connection between the sun and the planets that ended up converging in closal. what that meant, they didn't know. most of the monument was destroyed, and the few words on it were from a language none of them knew nothing about. "closal seems to be quite important in the eyes of whoever lived in this place before," kentucky commented.

that reminded roan of something. "hey... what was your name? whatever, dracula is good enough. tell me, what is about to happen in closal during the next divine werdlem stone contest?"
