CHAPTER 56 : THE OTHER WORLD

Standing in a room was Chandler and Sir Zolritch. Chandler was holding a sword and was wearing a pair of black gauntlets. They were not that high a tier but he could just manage. That was just the characteristics of the survival test. He was just provided with a little less tier weapons for defense, he would look for ways by himself to have much more efficient weapons if he wants to survive.

He was standing in front of the portal to the other side of the glass wall. Sir Zolritch was seated on the control center as he actioned a lever and the portal lit up sky blue.

"Don't forget to be careful Chandler. Those weapons won't last long there. They can only be able to sustain for some three hours or so before they get shattered. But the gauntlets is much more resistant since it's the Zolritch primary weapon. But it doesn't mean that you should be reckless with it. But cautious and careful, the beasts will not spare you a little bit of time"

"Also, I wish you good luck Chandler. Survive for eight hours and you will be brought back here so don't think of looking for the portal which will bring you back here."

Saying so, Chandler stepped into the portal. Immediately, he felt like he would vomit. All his body felt like it was dizzy and would pass out at that moment. This was just how he should feel. It was normally suppose to happen as such.

After some seconds or so, Chandler was back to normal and was laying on grass. It felt so nice that he wanted to stay there but he immediately remembered why he was here for. So he immediately stood up and took his fighting stance looking around him. He was amazed by the sight.

"Woaw this world is really beautiful, it unfathomable that there are beasts here. There should be rather peace here and it's instead used for a survival test. Hmmm.....i shouldn't be judging a book by it's cover, dad said this place is really dangerous" Said Chandler as he continued looking around him with his fighting stance.

This place was full of trees and grassland all over. There were thick trees with evergreen leaves. Mountains that were several kilometers high with snow covering all over it. Waterfalls here and there with streams with some kind of large bird flying up the sky. Also the sound of birds chirping was heard we're he actually was now.

He seem to be in a kind of ball as a transparent shield like sheath could be seen behind him. He touched it and tried to go the other way but it was impossible. He tried to venture in the forest with all his sense on alert. He was moving slowly and cautiously in the thick woods.

"This place is really damn nice, I can feel the flow of energy all over this place and it is a lot more pure than the one on Erkaphilphz. The mana here is so cool and I feel like I have a buff in this place. Maybe it's not that dangerous as dad said"

Chandler impressed by this place. It was rather a nice place and full of pure mana. This felt really like a buff since he could just send some more powerful attacks here. Just the feel of the mana in the atmosphere was so much cool and the environs seemed like they were in winter season, this type snow covered mountain were it was probable that there was more mana concentration there.

Just at the moment he thought this place was kinda nice, he hears a howl far away in the thick forest. It was without doubt that it was a wolf, but which type of wolf was it actually. Chandler who heard the howl was strictly cautious.

According to his dad, the beasts here have more strength than the beasts in the other world.

The beasts in the other world were classified as such :

Basic Orb beasts having a dark bronze icosahedron crystal in them,

Intermediate Orb beasts having a slightly dark green icosahedron crystal in them,

Higher Orb beasts having purple colored icosahedron crystal in them,

King Orb beasts having an emerald colored icosahedron crystal with them,

Emperor Orb beasts having a Sapphire colored icosahedron crystal in them,

Epic Orb beasts having a light amethyst colored icosahedron crystal in them,

Legendary Orb beasts a light golden icosahedron crystal in them,

Godly Orb beasts having a very light white icosahedron crystal in them, just like diamond.

All these icosahedron crystals were known as beast orbs. The higher the beasts level, the more clearer the beast orb will be. One could know a beast level only after extracting the beast orb, but expert knew how each beast look at their respective level. Each time a beast evolve, their beats orb will change to the corresponding color of their current level.

But in this world it was completely different. A Basic Orb beast here would be equivalent to an Intermediate Orb beast to the other world, an Intermediate Orb beast here would be equivalent to a Higher Orb beast to the other world, a Higher Orb here will be equal to a King Orb and a King Orb here to an Emperor Orb and so on. That's the rule here.

Each beast here was a level higher than that he knew out there and this was why his dad told him to be so cautious. If he could defeat a Basic Orb beast outside with ease, it won't be the same for him to defeat another Basic Orb beast here due to the one level difference in strength and other aspects.

So he has to be extremely cautious here. He doesn't know the level of the wolf and that is really not helping him right now. But all he could say it from its howl, he could say that it was at least a Basic Orb. So if he defeats it, he could defeat both a Basic Orb and and Intermediate Orb in the outside world without stress.

This was actually the reason for this Survival test. It was to make the Zolritch ahead of their surrounding and make them being able to defeat more powerful beasts. This will affutate their techniques and also give them more combats experience against beasts.

Just this test was reserved to the Zolritch and no other individual out there. This was so since their ability was on of the topping in the world and was really rare. Sure people have it bit their was much more destructive and powerful. Hence no other Lightning user could rival them.

Chandler walked further in the thick wood with his fighting stance and sword in front to attack at any moment or parry any unforeseen attack which might be fatal. Still hearing the howls of the Wolf, he walked step by step closer to where he heard the howls.

It was then that he saw a wolf standing on a kind of rock while it howl towards the sky. It was completely dark in color and had a long furred tail with pointed ears. Razor claws and teeth could be see. With three blueish black eyes and a king of small horn on its forehead.

Chandler looked at it with his sharp eyes that had slight tint of purple in them now and some strands of his hiars were also purple. This happened when he drank the blood from the flacon yesterday. He trailed his eyes all over the wolf as if he was analysing it. His eyes shon slightly purple as he was doing that. He does know about that but he felt like he could see much more details and things now.

He could see a kind of light yellow aura surrounding the wolf. He could even see pass its fur as he saw some lices on its body. This aura was all seen around beast. This was their signature aura, for only those who couldn't use elemental magic. Those that could use abilities had their specific aura. But all the beasts that had no capability to use magic would just have this light yellow aura around them. The more powerful they are, the thicker and more dense the aura.

It was then that the wolf stopped howling and sniffed the air. He smelled a strange odour right now. Chandler who saw this was asking himself why the wolf was sniffing the air so suddenly. Chandler tried to spot why he was sniffing and looked a around.

Sniffing the air still it turned its head to where Chandler was located. He froze at that moment and hid behind a thick tree. His heart best sped up incredibly in such a way that someone standing beside him will eventually her it.

The wolf continued sniffing and when he sniffed to Chandler's direction, it was denser. The odour was much intensified. So the wolf climbed down the rock and walked to Chandler's direction. Bit by bit approaching him. Chandler peeped to the side and saw the wolf coming his way. He knew now that the wolf has eventually detected his presence, so he has no choice now but fight or he will eventually die.
