Chapter 89
A beautiful golden haired woman, with long, wavy hair and a doll-like face, walked deeper into a massive construct towards the central area of the complex.
Her lovable looks and skin as white as snow and the bounciness of her ample breasts made her truly stand out from the people that she was passing by.
Every person she passed gave her a respectful nod as she went further towards her goal. The corridors were visibly emptying the closer she got to the Core Area.
The building she was in was massive, but wherever one looked, construction was still undergoing high speed. But one thing was standing truly out: the tall tower in the center of the whole construct, still under construction, and even then one could make out what an impossible structure it would one day become.
And the base of that very tower was her goal.
The area that had been finished first.
Only people with the necessary clearing, like the builders in that area and the leaders of Dragon's Gate, could enter there.
This whole construct will be the headquarters of the whole organization. A complex that only a Rank 4 magus and above could breach once finished.
All the plans for it were created by the leader of Dragon's Gate, the Demonic Dragon King Harry Potter himself, who had planned it out in precise detail, countless layers of defenses magical and technological in nature, living areas, laboratories, storage areas, and countless other features.
It would become the central bastion of their organization, where every member could retreat—a save Haven for their members, even if Harry Potter wasn't there.
One major advantage was its location. A forgotten and isolated part of the Magus World with very few entrances, the Twiligh Zone. It is located on the first level of the
Subterranean Part of the Magus World, which in truth was several times bigger than the surface and contained many secrets.
But the Twilight Zone was isolated from the rest of the Subterranean World because of a battle between two Rank 4 Magi that had destroyed most of the entrances.
Securing the ruins of the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect, where the Teleportation formation to the Twilligh Zone was located, had been one of the earliest missions of Dragon's Gate.
Their leader in his wisdom had even forseen that there would be a raid on it in the future and had captured all intruders by setting a trap.
Once things truly turned dire for Dragon's Gate, Light and Dark Faction decided to ally themselves against them. Every member had known that it was time to retreat. After all, it had been part of their leaders grand plan from the very beginning.
With the help of hand-prepared protections, they safely traveled through the unstable teleportation formation in groups to the Twilight Zone and began to carve out a place for themselves. Or rather start a massive conquest of the whole zone.
After all, the peak of power in the Twilight Zone was only Rank 2. They had several people at that level of strength, and their leader was comparable to a Rank 3 being.
At this point, the Magi of Dragon's Gate were experienced in war and had an easy time conquering the richest and most central area of the zone, from where they started their conquest of the whole area.
The blonde-haired woman had reached a massive black door and didn't hesitate to push it open, where she found the biggest and best equipped laboratory in the whole complex.
A handsome black Haired man was performing an experiment on what looked like a door and signaled her to wait.
[Essence of the Dimensional Trader activated. Initiated Dimensional Connection. Please Wait… ]
[Breaking the dimensional Wall of the Magus World. Breaking the Border Around the Universe]
[Critical Failure! No connection found!]
Once again like hundreds of times before, Harry Potter let out a disappointed sigh.
"It failed again?" The blonde-haired woman asked as she approached him.
"Nyssa! Yes, unfortunately. And I have no idea why. This time I even sent a spirit seed with the attempt. It's clearly leaving the Magus World and the Boundaries of the Universe, but somehow it's not finding anything." He replied, and while he had a confident smile, she recognized the pained look behind his eyes.
He had shared more about himself with them, about who he truly was, where he was from, and that he planned to return there. But every last one of his attempts ended up in failure.
Originally, his connection attempts couldn't even leave the Magus World because, as an Accolyte, he was too weak to power them; even with the large quantity of power for his level stored in his body, he couldn't release enough at once to breach the Walls of the Magus World.
But now that he had become a magus, the quality of his magic power had improved drastically, and he could release larger amounts at once.
And they had moved to the Twilight Zone, an area not surrounded by spatial turbulence like the South Coast, which made it an unattractive region for higher-ranked Magi in the first place.
After all, Rank 4 Magi was all about exploring the universe and leaving the Magus World through Astral Gates, conquering and plundering other worlds for more resources.
So living in a place like the South Coast, where powering Astral Gates was far more expensive was an unattractive prospect.
And even then, Harry had no idea why he was unable to create a connection outside of this universe. Did he have to become a higher-ranked magus for more power, like a Rank 4 magus, which normally is the first rank able to travel outside of his own world?
This answer was just unacceptable for him. Even at his current speed, it would take decades.
Which was very, very fast for this world but far too slow for his other worlds. By then everyone he knew had at least become old. The only ones he could safely see again were Tiamat, the Dragons, and the Elves in Alagäsia, but everyone else will have probably died.
"There is still the other project. It's one of the main focuses of construction. And the headquarters should be easily able to power it if your Magus Tower isn't enough." Injected Nyssa, who had guessed his train of thought.
"I know. But it will be a risk again." He sighed, still remembering the last time he had taken a stupid risk, "Enough about my failures. What brings you here? How are Dodoria and Guricha?"
"They are well enough. I left them in charge of the Southern Front. Together they are able to fight a Rank 2 Magus." She said brightly.
"I still can't believe that you were such a good match for the Angelic Meditation Technique I created. Why did you choose to join Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, a place focused on Death and Darkness Elements? With your talent and light affection, it would have been impossible to become a magus if you were not very lucky."
At that remark, she blushed, "I am really grateful for the meditation technique you created for me based on the seraph fruit. I simply had no choice. While I am from a noble family on the Chernobyl Isles, it's only a poor and minor one. We could not afford magic crystals. But my grandfather got lucky and acquired a magic artifact from the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy. Unfortunately, they were the only ones who would accept it to cover the fees fully."
"That makes a lot of sense. I am sorry you had to go through all that."
"Don't worry about it." She said as she clapped his hands as if in prayer, her crystal clear eyes starring at him in adoration, "You have brought light to my life!"
Things were becoming a bit akward, and he had no idea how to handle such a kind of girl, so Harry discretly chose to change the topic, "So you didn't answer yet why you were visiting me? The southern front is quite a bit away from the headquarters."
"Oh right, we found something you classified as a high-priority target." She said as she pulled out a white bone joint.
His eyes lit up as he saw what it was. The Twilight Zone contained hundreds of different Rank 2 meditation techniques, even more Rank 1 ones. But there were barely any above that level, and all of them were incomplete.
But this one was different.
He connected his mind to it as ancient symbols appeared, releasing a powerful aura and even a dragon's roar.
This one was also incomplete but actually contained four complete levels. Only levels five and six were missing. Even then, it was the greatest treasure the Twilight Zone contained in Harry's eyes.
An advanced meditation technique meant for dragons. Not Warlocks, but Dragons.
The four existing levels were split into the different aging stages of a dragon, from infant dragon, young dragon, adult dragon, and elder dragon.
While the missing fifth level is named Ancient Dragon, and the sixth is classified as Immemorial Dragon.
So why did the Twillight Zone not have a Rank 4 Morning Star Magus, or even a Rank 3 Magus yet, when they had four complete levels for a Meditation Technique?
Well, this meditation technique called Dragon King's Mystic Might is only meant to be trained in by real dragons.
Not even Warlocks with a Dragon Bloodline could train in it; they were lacking something crucial.
But Harry had, of course, known that something like this existed in the Twilight Zone. It was one of the reasons why he had created the meditation technique that he did; besides that, he already had the necessary dragon bloodline, and dragons were highly represented in the multiverse.
Even with all his research, he had only managed to create the first level of his own meditation technique. Dragon King's Mystic Might would give him a solid base on information to create the higher levels.
Finding it was very good news for him. Something to distract him from his current failures and the worries about his Plan B.
And while only dragons could train in that technique, Harry was a dragon in human form. Not only has he a now pure Draconic bloodline, but also the true soul of a dragon, something a Warlock could accomplish only far later.
