Eilish continued her story.

She and her friends became widely known adventurers in the entire country. Their strength far surpasses normal people in their world. In Giza Continent's terms, they reached the level of B-rank.

B-rank was numerous in Imperium but in sub-world with thin energy concentration, it was probably the highest that they could achieve. The resources also were too scarce to support a powerhouse to the highest level.

Despite being the most famous adventurer group in their country, Eilish and the others couldn't find a cure for Eilan's disease.

"We've achieved a lot of things in the past two years yet we haven't found anything that could cure my brother...

" Eilish said in a low voice. She even learned various healing spells but it didn't work on her brother.

"If we can't find a cure for your brother in this country then we'll search the entire world. If we can't find it then we'll search for the Divine World.

" Greesa said to her.

"Yeah, you're right.

" Eilish looked at her friend and smiled.

"The five of us will each other,

" Jaebi said.

Friess smiled seeing this scene. Even though they got famous, her friends still never change. They would never be drowned by wealth and fame. They were doing this because they had a goal and that would never change.

"Just don't forget to be careful, the world is large and we can't even fathom how many dangers lurk in the shadow,

" Aileen added.

"Always prepare yourself for the worst-case scenario.

"

It's true. The group faced countless challenges where they could die just to achieve their current status. They were the top adventurers in their country and the neighboring countries have heard of their names and achievements.

There's no doubt that they were one of the strongest.

But it was just the start of their real adventure if they wanted to find the so-called Divine World.

...

Eilish tightened her grip on the blanket around her and asked,

"Souta, how many worlds did you visit out there? No, I want to know if you realized the scope of the expanse...

"

Souta didn't answer. He just waited for Eilish to continue talking. That's the only thing he could do right now.

"My homeworld is just a speck of dust...

" Eilish said.

Souta nodded inwardly. There's no end in the vast expanse of space. It was infinitely large.

"I realized that after traveling from another world to another. Imperium was hard to fathom.

" Eilish added.

"I discovered it after following you to this world. I came from a planet and then traveled through other star systems and galaxies by using coordinates teleportation. It's hard to do it in this space since the fabric here is hard to break...

"

At the age of 22, Eilish's group discovered the vastness of the universe. It was never-ending as they traveled through other galaxies and followed the clues left behind on the planet with mana density. The group discovered that everything was connected and there was even a teleportation circle left to go to another planet.

It was left behind by a huge organization in the past that seemed to overrule hundreds of thousands of planets with mana density. They even found a star map that contained an extreme amount of galaxies yet the planet that had mana density in this map only had a number of seven hundred ninety two.

It was just a small region in the territory of an ancient civilization.

At the age of 25, Eilish's group realized that they wouldn't be able to find Imperium in their current situation. They discovered that there were other dimensions out there.

They were already a powerhouse at A-rank at that time. Among every other planet that they visited, no one could rival their prowess.

They became a living legend.

'Spaces and dimensions...' Souta narrowed his eyes.

He continued to listen about Eilish's journey before they met. He realized the hard work she put in and the challenges she faced were extremely hard. Yet, she persevered and managed to stay alive all this time.

"I'm from a small planet. I discovered that my planet is in a star system and the star system is just a part of a galaxy. Then, the clusters which contained thousands of galaxies. All of the clusters are just inside a dimension. We broadened our view at that time.

" Eilish slowly explained.

"Our dimension alone felt like it was infinite yet we discovered that once we are out we are still inside another. Friess' theory is correct.

"

Their dimension was huge but they realized that strong people seemed to call it a sub-space. It wasn't about the size. It was about the toughness of what builds that dimension that decides the scale of their dimension.

Yep, before meeting Souta she came out from a total of seven dimensions.

So she came from a dimension inside a dimension. She discovered it seven times.

Hearing this, Souta pressed his temples. He had to process what she just told him to understand her words.

It was at this time that Souta wondered if Imperium was the same as Eilish's story. What if Imperium was just inside a sub-space and there was another higher dimension out there?

From his knowledge, there were a total of thirteen dimensions. All of them have the same toughness of space, time, matter, and energy. Most of these dimensions were destroyed in the war twenty thousand years ago. Yet, in these dimensions, there were also countless dimensions hidden inside it which didn't have the same toughness as the thirteen.

But what if these thirteen spaces were just inside one bigger and more powerful dimension?

Souta shook his head and dispersed those thoughts. It wasn't the time to think about it. His current power couldn't even make him the strongest in Imperium.

Eilish glanced at Souta before she continued,

"It was seven years before we met. A tragedy occurred. My friends and I met someone that I couldn't even fathom at that time.

"

...

Eilish and her friends just arrived in a new world. The gravity here was ten times higher than in the previous one and the mana density was slightly higher.

"Our goal is to verify if this dimension is where the Divine World is located or not,

" Friess said to her friends.

"Yes, I wonder if this is where our goal lies...

" Jaebi said.

"Are you okay, Eilan?

" Eilish asked her brother who was on her back.

"I'm fine, sis. I can't burden you anymore.

" Eilan said with great effort. In truth, the environment greatly burdened his body but he couldn't show it on his face since his sister would worry about him more.

"It's fine.

" Eilish shook her head.

The group was a little bit excited after they arrived in what they called the outer dimension. The mana density and gravity here were stronger than their world. This alone means that there were stronger creatures. Probably someone that could rival them.

"What's the percentage of your liquefied mana?

" Friess asked her friends.

"I've already liquefied about sixty percent of my mana pool,

" Greesa said.

"For me, it's about fifty percent,

" Jaebi said.

"Sixty percent too, the same as Greesa,

" Eilish said.

"I'm close to reaching ninety percent,

" Aileen said.

"It's hard to liquefy all the mana in our mana pool but we are close to achieving it. We've used tons of resources to achieve our current power but I can feel that we can do this in this world.

" Friess said as she stretched out her hand.

"The mana density here will help us so let's focus on getting stronger first before we start our exploration. We can't let our guard down.

"

Suddenly, the entire group felt goosebumps across their entire bodies. They quickly turned their head and saw a figure standing several meters away from them.

Swoosh!

Friess and Aileen quickly raised their guards. They didn't even notice the presence of this unknown figure.

The figure in front of them was humanoid. It was complete darkness and they couldn't even fathom such a creature standing before them.

A creature made of darkness...

"Such an ignorant bunch of people. You've wandered into this place without knowing that this is my territory.

" A deep voice came out of the humanoid darkness.

Friess gulped as she felt nervous just by standing in front of this unknown being. She took a deep breath and said,

"Please forgive us, we didn't know that this is your territory. We'll leave immediately if you don't mind.

"

Fighting wasn't a good idea in their current situation. Her instinct was telling her that they had no chance of winning.

"You should shut your mouth.

"

A line of darkness flashed.

Friess widened her eyes. She shifted her body to the side but the line of darkness tore straight to her left shoulder, severing her arm as a result.

Swoosh!

Her arm rolled in the air, splashing blood everywhere.

Argh...!!

Friess fell to her knees as she held her shoulder. She felt intense pain all over her body. She couldn't describe it but it seems that darkness increased her pain sensitivity by several fold.

Aileen glanced at Friess before she looked at the others who were stunned.

"Everyone... Run...!!

" She shouted.
