MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 1038: Entering the Mystic Plane

As he smiled in response to Mystiaʼs words, the gears in Valyrʼs mind started to turn, realizing that their current topic had come to an end of sorts.

”So... what do we do now?”

”To be honest, I donʼt know either,” replied Mystia with a slight shrug.

”Should we head to the Mystic Plane, then?” asked Valyr in response, his gaze darting

between Mystia and the room. ”After all, since Iʼm the Guardian of the Mystic Plane, shouldnʼt I head there at least once?”

”Well, yeah... but letʼs save that for later.” At first, Mystia was about to agree to the young manʼs suggestion, only to recall that she had yet to give all of the rewards she planned on giving Valyr now that sheʼd accepted her quests.

”After all, I still plan on giving you other things aside from that Constitution Refinement Elixir you just continued.”

”...Unless if you want to head to the Mystic Plane now and postpone the remaining rewards for later, of course,” said Mystia not long after, faintly smiling as she noticed the conflicted expression creeping up Valyrʼs face in response.

”Er...” With the gears in his mind madly turning while he was pondering over Mystiaʼs words, the young man weighed over the pros and cons of each choice as he began to formulate a new train of thought.

ʼInitially, I came to meet Mystia because I wanted to improve the amount of Mystic Energy I have, as well as my level of control over it.ʼ

ʼConsidering how Mystic Energy is the opposite of Shadow... well, Void Energy in terms of nature, the thought of combining it into Prime Azure Energy came to mind, seeing as the energy I made has the ability to assimilate other energies without issues.ʼ

ʼ... On the other hand, Mystia did make a promise to give me items if I were to accept both of her requests. As long as I got my hands on them, my combat strength would immediately be improved to a higher level.ʼ

ʼOther than that, sheʼs also planning to teach me alchemy, which is a field Iʼve barely touched upon in my past life,ʼ thought Valyr to himself.

ʼHowever, that doesnʼt mean Iʼm clueless as to what itʼs capable of, seeing as how all of the elixirs and pills Iʼve consumed so far all have miraculous effects on my strength.ʼ

Closing his eyes for a bit as he continued with his current train of thought, Valyr eventually made his decision as he looked at Mystia in the eyes with a wry smile. ”I guess we could postpone the remaining items for later.”

”After all, in the first place, my reason for meeting up with you was mostly about Mystic Energy.”

”...Well, I suppose youʼre correct,” replied Mystia, her expression briefly changing into that disbelief.

In her mind, when she brought up the topic of him getting more items from her, she thought that Valyr would undoubtedly choose to go with the items, considering that it was the choice that would immediately give him greater strength out of the two.

However, hearing that the young man instead chose the option that he was less likely to choose, it took a while for Mystia to regain her bearings, nodding as she began to conjure a rift that would lead the two of them into the Mystic Plane.

Whoosh!

Watching Mystia release a massive amount of Mystic Energy into the surroundings, Valyr decided to commit the sight before him into memory as he intently watched her create the rift to the Mystic Plane step by step.

ʼHuh. The concept is similar to how Noel opens up a rift to the Shadow Plane.ʼ Keeping an eye on Mystiaʼs movements, Valyr eventually began to notice a few similarities between it and Noelʼs movements in the past.

With that, by the time Mystia had finished creating the rift to the Mystic Plane, it was there that Valyr realized that the rift creation process was more or less similar between every plane.

If anything, the only differences between them was in the energy that was used, as well as the complexity of the structure making up the rift itself.

ʼSeeing how the rift to the Mystic Plane seems easier to create compared to the rift to the Shadow Plane, I suppose the complexity of the rift has a correlation to the size of the plane itself?ʼ

As this question came to the young manʼs mind, Mystia let out a soft sigh of relief as she wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Then, taking the time to catch her breath, she then gestured the young man towards the rift sheʼd opened. ”As youʼve never visited the Mystic Plane, you should go first. Iʼll follow behind

you.”

Nodding in response to her words, Valyr swiftly made his way to the rift, taking in a deep breath as he took a step into it.

Whoosh!

In less than an instant, the young man felt his body be transported to a faraway place, similar to what he felt back in his trips to the Shadow Plane with Noel.

Then again, unlike the dark and dreary atmosphere that the Shadow Plane gave off, the Mystic Plane immediately gave off a light and ethereal feeling to the young man, causing him to feel as if all of his worries had been washed away.

Sadly, such a feeling was only short-lived as the young manʼs feet eventually touched ground, reducing some of the lightness he felt as he took a look of his surroundings.

”Welcome to the Mystic Plane, Valyr.”

Swoosh!

Whilst the young man was committing the landscape of the Mystic Plane to memory, the Imperial Alchemist had appeared beside him, flashing a grin as she took a few steps forward to be in front of him. ”So, what do you think?”

”Itʼs... definitely unlike the Shadow Plane Iʼve been in,” said Valyr in response, coming to the conclusion that the Mystic Plane had a landscape that was more or less similar to what Veldanyr offered.

Though, if one were to look at their surroundings closely, one would begin to notice a thin layer of iridescent energy coating the surface.

”Itʼs more... colorful,” continued the young man, wondering if the thin layer of iridescent energy was the cause of the light and ethereal feeling that currently wrapped around him. ”A lot more colorful compared to the Shadow Plane.”

”Anyways, now that I think about it, why havenʼt I gotten a notification from the system that Iʼve become the Mystic Planeʼs Guardian yet?”

As these words left the young manʼs mouth, the smile Mystia had on her face instantly disappeared as she began to rub her chin in contemplation.

Closing her eyes for a bit, she eventually looked back at the young man with a calm gaze, only for the smile she had earlier to return not long after. ”Oh, that.”

”Well, you see... the Overseer hasnʼt really officially appointed you as the planeʼs Guardian yet. So far, youʼre still the Guardian of the Mystic Plane in name.”

”And so, to correct that...”

”Marcus! Get your ass over here right this instant!”
