Chapter 284: 284 A Real Body in the Astral Plane?

284 A Real Body in the Astral Plane?

The Void Step was a strange technique Nefion had taught Arthur a long time ago. It allowed the user to step foot inside the Dream Realm, which was a mysterious place Arthur had little information about.

Now, the Void Step took the user to an even more mysterious part of the Dream Realm, and Nefion always told Arthur he should not use that technique at night-time, as it was when strange creatures could attack him.

If Arthur could, then surely he would avoid doing such a thing, but it was not the time to think about it! Seth was getting weaker and weaker, unable to win against that rank 2 mage.

Seth losing there meant all the effort he put to win the battle would be useless, and everyone would die.

"Even if I don't kill him, hurting him will be enough! A clean hit is all I need!" Arthur thought.

Arthur activated the Void Step, and everything around him turned darker, as if a veil was covering his vision. Then, he dashed toward the rank 2 mage, stopping right behind him in the air!

No one from the outside world could sense him there, but that did not mean he was completely safe! On a distant planet where mages were more advanced in power. A place where they had recently returned to practice the Astral Travel. Looking for other planets, a young mage saw Arthur!

"I did it. I found a planet with life! Who is this young man? How is he in the Astral Plane without the help of tools? And with his real body? I shall share this with the teacher!"

Arthur was clueless about this, as all he could think of was to attack the rank 2 mage in front of him and help Seth!

He had the black sword on hands, and then he left the Dream Realm, appearing behind the rank 2 mage like a ghost.

It was not a good feeling to sense someone appeared out of nowhere, especially for someone with a great power. Things like that should not be possible to happen, as even if a mage hid its power, a rank 2 mage would still notice it if it got too close.

Yet, this time, the rank 2 mage did not notice a thing. Arthur instantly gathered all the power he could and slashed the back of the rank 2 mage! Everything happen so fast it was impossible for him to cast any additional barrier, and the only barrier that protected him was the natural one.

A clean cut, sending the rank 2 mage flying toward the ground, creating a crater. Blood was everywhere, streaming from the wound caused by the sword slash.

Arthur was surprised to see the rank 2 mage was still alive, but the damage he took was not small, and Seth would have an easy time to finish the job.

"I am tired. Why does this sword drains so much power?"

It was the first time Arthur used the sword's actual power, and the first time he was not a madman while wielding it.

Even though he only used a fraction of its power, it drained a lot of his strength, but it was worth it! The rank 2 mage was almost dead.

"What? Arthur? How?" Seth said.

He could not understand what had just happened, and Arthur had to wake him up from his daydreams.

"Seth, finish it! Kill the rank 2 mage while he is down!"

The sentence pulled Seth back to reality, as he cast his strongest spell, sending a thunder from the sky, which hit the wounded body of that mage, making it turn into a charcoal.

It was over. Seth thought he would lose the fight, yet Arthur came to help him. That was something he was not expecting, as the gap between a rank 1 mage and a rank 2 mage was huge!

"It was a onetime secret technique. We already won the battle back at the graveyard, so I came here to check up on you. I need to rest now…" Arthur said.

Sure, he was tired, but he made it act like the Void Step and the sword slash drained all of his powers as if it was a secret technique that would give him permanent injuries!

He did not want Seth to know a lot about his secrets, and the act would also make him even more grateful toward Arthur, so it was a win-win situation.

They returned to where all the students were, and all of them were excited to see their president and vice-president alive and well!

"We found their treasure room! Shall we take all of it back to the school?"

"Yes. We will share the spoils with everyone who fought the battle." Seth said.

Everyone had smiles all over their faces as they returned to the One Hundred Thunder Academy to rest and store all spoils from the battle.

The first thing Arthur did was return to his small little cabin, and rest. When everyone arrived back at the school, Elena quickly came to check up on him to make sure he was alright.

"You are alive!" She sighed in relief, following Arthur back to his cabin, where they would talk in private.

Arthur was on the bed, while Elena sat on a chair in front of him, waiting to hear what he had to say.

"Elena, are you willing to leave this school and enter Odemore?"

"Odemore?"

"Yes. A school created by me and my wives! Well, we still have to build it, as the real Odemore is from another continent…"

"Another continent? Tell me stories about it!!!" Elena's eyes were shining. She was a girl who loved a good story, so she could not wait to hear more about it.

Arthur tried his best to not share too much information, especially about the location of the real Odemore, and the one on the central continent.

"What do you say? Jane, my wife, also has lightning as her main element, so she might help you! I can help you too, but the war is crazy these days."

Elena was looking to the ground, thinking about what she had just heard. She did not want to die, and wanted to rise above others, and maybe leave the planet one day! Arthur told her that was their plan, and for a moment she wanted to go with them!

But to do that, she needed to practice magic, and with this ongoing war, a weak mage like her could easily die, and all the teachers she had were occupied with battles, and with protecting the school.

They only valued ninth and tenth circle mages during war times, so Elena was not receiving anything! She felt so unlucky.

After finally being able to join an excellent school, something like that happened. Elena's parents were so proud of her joining such a prestigious place, and now she could perish before meeting them again…

"I-I will join your school! If I stay here, then I can die at any second… But is it okay for me to stay with your wives? Wouldn't they get the wrong idea…?" Elena said with her cheeks turning red, panting.

"It is okay. We can leave next week, so you have some time to prepare."

She nodded, leaving Arthur's cabin after that.

Arthur, though, had a strange feeling, thinking about the consequences of using the Void Step during the night.
