Chapter 61 The Last Resort

　　"Sain, you shouldn't have come," Mosido's exhausted voice echoed in Sain's mind.

　　Surrounded by swirling elements of every color, Sain could barely see anything with his own eyes.

　　Even the dozen or so apprentices walking in front of him were becoming increasingly blurry.

　　And there was something else, a feeling that made him uneasy ever since he entered the energy vortex.

　　It was a suffocating sensation, as if he had left the familiar world he knew and entered a strange and unfamiliar one.

　　"Mosido, where are you?" Sain couldn't help but call out.

　　As he was walking at the back of the apprentice team and had slowed down his pace after hearing Mosido's voice, none of the other apprentices noticed his discomfort.

　　"I'm at the control stabilizer of the Space-Time Rift. I'm talking to you through Mental Power," Mosido replied.

　　"Don't worry, you'll learn how to use Mental Power to communicate naturally when you become an official Magician in the future. But now, I have more important things to tell you," Mosido quickly continued.

　　Sain didn't waste any time and held his breath to listen.

　　"We were too optimistic this time. There aren't that many resources in the star realm, not even semi-plane, let alone a fully intact plane."

　　" According to the images sent back by some apprentices, it's very likely that the other side of the Space-Time Rift is a broken plane."

　　"The environment there is extremely harsh, full of sandstorms and endless deserts. "

　　"I've been to three different planes before, but their environments were relatively peaceful and suitable for us human Magicians from the Wizarding World to explore."

　　"But this broken plane is a different story...even a quasi-Magician would have a hard time surviving there."

　　"In my opinion, we should recall all the apprentices immediately and minimize our losses for this kind of broken plane with little exploration value."

　　"However, Vice Dean Martin and Ms. Joni refused my advice and want to send more apprentices to explore, even trying to activate the Space Portal Generator to create a passage for official Dark Magicians to enter."

　　"I don't know why the two Vice Deans are so obsessed with this broken plane. But if you go there, it will be a life or death situation," Mosido said solemnly.

　　"I'm a bit worried about Senior Brother and Senior Sister, so I have no regrets about crossing the Space-Time Rift," Sain replied softly.

　　Mosido seemed to feel a sense of relief and nostalgia at Sain's response.

　　Then he continued to say to Sain, "Follow the predetermined route and turn right when you see a red elemental ripple. Then turn left... there you will find something I left for you."

　　"Your Senior Brother and Senior Sister are stronger than you, and as Advanced apprentices, they are the academy's top priority."

　　" If they can return, their survival rate is still relatively high. "

　　"But for you, with your weaker abilities, there's a high chance you may be abandoned."

　　"That thing I left for you can help bring you back at a critical moment, but it requires a lot of energy, and I'm not sure if it can help you."

　　Under the guidance of his mentor Mosido, Sain eventually found a black handle.

　　To Sain, Mosido's care was second only to the protection his girlfriend Lena had given him over the years.

　　Sain bowed silently and then followed the group of apprentices to go deeper into the channel.

　　"You don't really need to leave a last resort for your disciple."

　　" Even if those Intermediate apprentices are eventually abandoned, I will leave a return quota for your disciple."

　　"Moreover, our exploration of the alternate dimension this time may not necessarily fail."

　　" As long as the space channel is successfully opened, those little guys will be safe, and we can also reap benefits."

　　After Mosido finished Mental Power communication with his disciple, a mature female voice suddenly appeared in his ear.

　　It was Vice Dean Joni.

　　She did not know exactly what Mosido and Sain had talked about during their Mental Power communication, but seeing the thing Mosido left for Sain, she was obviously worried about the safety of her disciple.

　　Mosido nodded in understanding after hearing Vice Dean Joni's words.

　　After pondering for a moment, Mosido couldn't help but ask, "Based on the images and information that the apprentices have brought back, the other side of the Space-Time Rift seems more like a broken plane in terms of elemental volatility and plane environment."

　　"Why are we so obsessed with exploring that weird plane?"

　　"I'm very worried that the final reward may not be enough to make up for our initial investment, even though that broken plane seems to have a dense concentration of earth elemental particles," Mosido said.

　　Mosido's inquiry left Ms. Joni in long silence.

　　In the end, Ms. Joni didn't answer Mosido's question directly, only saying, "Don't worry, that plane has something that both the dean and I need."

　　"Even if the plane itself has little development and utilization value, I will still pay you the promised reward in full."

　　After speaking, Ms. Joni's breath disappeared, as if she had never appeared.

　　Only Mosido still frowned and remained in place.

　　But after a moment, Mosido suddenly opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "Did she just say the dean? Not Vice Dean Martin?"

　　...

　　The vortex passage deep in the magic altar is not actually very long.

　　But because there are too many severed limbs and danger in the vortex passage, Sain and other Intermediate apprentices move very slowly.

　　What is the danger?

　　Just listen to another scream coming from ahead, and when Sain slowly approached, he saw an Intermediate apprentice whose arm was severed out of nowhere.

　　The broken arm of this Intermediate apprentice is still stuck in a layer of elemental mist nearby.

　　This is the danger that Space-Time Rift possesses.

　　Even the tiny cracks around its edge are absolutely unbearable for these apprentices who have not even reached the level of formal magicians.

　　This is the third unlucky person in Sain's group of fifty Intermediate magic apprentices who was injured by the Space-Time Rift.

　　He was lucky compared to the first two.

　　One had his head cut off and died on the spot.

　　The other had his waist severed and was almost dead.

　　The deaths and injuries of the three Intermediate apprentices made Sain and his team slower and more cautious.

　　And it was precisely because they slowed down and had a path already paved by hundreds of entry-level apprentices before them that they had no further losses until they reached the main entrance of the Space-Time Rift.
