Chapter 46: Spatial Rift
Upon hearing Richard Eva's words, Soro Flare, who had long been acquainted with him, immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate.
As the discoverer of the spatial rift, Lo Silverfox naturally did not refuse.
Seeing this, Janna, who had only recently joined the club yet was already part of such a significant operation, also agreed.
Moreover, compared to the Origin Energy Fragments, the coordinates of the interdimensional interface were the primary attraction for Janna, a summoning apprentice.
"After advancing to a Second Tier apprentice, I can perform a second Contract Summoning... If this operation allows me to successfully lock onto a new interdimensional coordinate, then I'll have more options when performing Contract Summoning..."
She silently calculated in her mind.
As the initiator of this operation, Richard Eva, seeing that everyone agreed to participate, began to skillfully formulate a plan and organize information sharing among the members.
"According to the information provided by Lo, the spatial rift in Misty Valley has only recently opened and is currently in a highly unstable phase. In about three days, I estimate that this spatial rift will enter a stable period, allowing several of us to enter simultaneously... However, everyone must be aware that the duration of the spatial rift is very short. Once it enters the stable period, the rift will only exist in the material plane for twelve hours. Therefore, to ensure safety, we have approximately ten hours for this interdimensional exploration."
Upon hearing this, the other three nodded, understanding the urgency of the operation.
"To maximize our safety, I have borrowed the [Guardian's Veil] from the Eva family, which can ensure we won't be eroded by spatial storms..."
At this point, Janna's eye twitched slightly.
The [Guardian's Veil], although not reaching the level of a witchcraft artifact, was undoubtedly a top-tier item for apprentices. Of course, its price was also beyond Janna's current means.
"These wealthy family scions..."
Though she felt a twinge of envy, Janna still greatly appreciated Richard Eva's thorough foresight.
"But the [Guardian's Veil] has a flaw—it can only weaken elemental attacks and cannot defend against physical or mental attacks from interdimensional creatures..."
As an apprentice-level replica of the witchcraft artifact [Saintess's Veil], the [Guardian's Veil] indeed had significant functional shortcomings.
It was said that the [Saintess's Veil] could not only neutralize elemental attacks but also had a special effect of spatial transfer for physical attacks.
The [Saintess's Veil] had a layer of spatial barrier on its exterior. If an arrow attacked the veil, the outer spatial barrier would activate the spatial transfer effect, allowing the arrow to pass through the other side of the veil, rendering those within its coverage unharmed.
In contrast, the [Guardian's Veil] had very weak defense against physical attacks, offering almost no protective effect.
"If interdimensional creatures attack, Soro, we might have to join forces to protect everyone."
"No problem."
Seeing Soro Flare's expression full of fighting spirit, Richard Eva felt somewhat reassured.
After all, as long-time partners, he had confidence in Soro Flare's strength. However...
He seemed to recall that a few months ago, Soro Flare had nearly perished in a family conflict.
As a core member of a wizard family himself, Richard Eva couldn't help but empathize.
But this was the fate every family-born individual had to bear—the Flare family was like this, and so was the Eva family.
"To be safe, we should wait beside the spatial rift on the evening of the third day, ready to enter as soon as it stabilizes. Therefore, I suggest that if everyone agrees, we meet at the entrance of the Misty Forest at ten o'clock on Tuesday night... This operation must remain confidential. The final spoils will be distributed equally, but before distribution, Janna, who possesses purification abilities, will temporarily hold them. Any objections?"
"No objections."
After finalizing the mission details, timing, personnel, and distribution plan, the four officially formed a temporary exploration team.
"Also, to ensure smooth cooperation, please report your current apprentice abilities in advance. I hope everyone will be transparent. Otherwise, if the mission fails due to mutual distrust, it won't be the outcome we desire... I'll start."
As the president of the White Ballet Shoes Club, Richard Eva excelled in both organizational and planning skills.
His openness and transparency impressed Janna anew.
"I am a Third Tier wizard apprentice, specializing in blood magic like my sister, Professor Grace. I excel in curses, blood toxins, and puppet control. Of course, my physical control is also strong. In terms of physical speed and strength, even baron-level Blood Clan members in the underground world are no match for me."
The Blood Clan was one of the dark races surviving in the underground shadow world.
They not only had strong physical resistance but also wielded powerful blood and dark magic, making them long-standing enemies of wizards.
"Tsk tsk, the Eva family and those vampires are old enemies. Every time there's a purge of the shadow world, they almost always target the Blood Clan for slaughter."
Hearing Soro's comment, Richard Eva smiled silently, acknowledging his words.
"I'm also a third tier wizard apprentice, specializing in bloodline-based witchcraft, possessing the bloodline of a Lava Dragon Lizard. You can consider me a Dragon Vein Sorcerer, immune to all apprentice-level fire attacks. In critical moments, I can partially transform into a Lava Dragon Lizard form. Apart from high magic consumption, I can replicate all the abilities of a Lava Dragon Lizard."
"Haha, if this guy transforms, you'd better stay away from him. Otherwise, he might enter a berserk state and accidentally hurt you."
"Shut up. Even if I go berserk, I can still distinguish friend from foe..."
Hearing Richard Eva expose his weakness, Soro Flare's bearded face showed a hint of embarrassment.
For Janna, hearing the abilities of two top-level Third Tier wizard apprentices for the first time was quite a shock.
"Indeed, only upon reaching the realm of a third tier wizard apprentice can one truly achieve the sublimation of life."
She marveled inwardly.
Whether it was Richard Eva, whose physique rivaled the Blood Clan, or Soro Flare, who possessed a powerful dragon lizard bloodline, if Janna were to face them now, she would be defeated in an instant... perhaps without even a chance to escape.
