Chapter 181: Leviathan - Part 2
Chapter 181: Leviathan - Part 2
When they got to the room, Luan took out the special metal plate that gave access to the entrance to the dimensional crack where Leviathan was stuck. Luan made the metal plate float in the air, and started channeling his Qi and told Ingrid to do the same.
Despite having recently evolved into the Second Order, Ingrid's Qi was powerful and quite solid, but she was still afraid to use it fully.
"Ingrid, close your eyes and focus. Channel all your Qi into it, yes, that. You need not fear; I am here," Luan said softly.
"Yeah..." Ingrid closed her eyes.
Unlike Luan's pure white Qi, Ingrid's was scarlet red, but even though it was that color, it was very pure and transmitted a unique air and a faint smell of iron.
Ingrid's red Qi strands danced and moved toward a special metal plate.
Behind the special metal plate a dimensional crack started to open. The air got more intense and the Qi got stronger, flooding the place.
"Haa!"
Luan used even more Qi, forcing the dimensional gap to open.
Ingrid also tried hard to channel even more Qi. She was very close to breaking the very limit that she could release at once.
Unlike the dimensional gap that was open and connected to the separate space where Pooh was, this dimensional gap was several times more powerful. Even this small opening required a good deal of Luan and Ingrid's powers, even though the two were both in the Second Order.
Seeing that Ingrid's face was turning red and her breathing was becoming irregular, Luan was about to tell her to give up and try again another time when they were both stronger.
"I am fine." Ingrid understood Luan very well. She realized by his look that he was worried, and she didn't want to give up right now that they were very close to getting it to work.
"..."
Luan looked at her for a few seconds and then nodded. He took something out of his pocket and said, "Take this."
Ingrid didn't even ask what it was; she just did what he said. Her current confidence in him may have even been more than she had in herself.
The same type of flask appeared in Luan's hand again, this one a white liquid with pink. He opened the lid and swallowed the viscous fluid. Soon after, his and Ingrid's Qi starts to rise again; the flow of Qi increases so much faster than it had been spent.
This was a triumph that Luan was guarding. He had created the Qi restoration option to use at specific times. Several rare herbs that he had collected so far were used, so he didn't want to use it very often, but seeing Ingrid persevere and wanting to help even now while she was dripping sweat and panting, he didn't mind using something so rare and using it right now.
Unlike the Qi Restoration Pill, the effect of the Qi Restoration Potion was several times faster in effect. This made it more rare and precious.
Almost 150 cm of opening and 70 to 80 wide had been opened.
"It's fine now, Ingrid." Luan stopped releasing his Qi.
"That's nice." Ingrid was tired, and with irregular breathing she looked at him with heavy eyes, but she was not at all unmotivated. In fact, she was quite happy at that moment.
"Yes, that is enough," Luan said, "Due to the amount of Qi sustained by this dimensional gap, it should be enough to stay open for roughly 1 hour and 30 minutes, enough to do what you have to do."
"Perfect!" Ingrid clapped her hands and smiled.
"Let's go." Luan took her hand and crossed the dimensional gap without fear.
"That is..."
Ingrid was stunned. She was now in a place that seemed completely magical. It was surrounded by the pleasant smell of nature and the Qi around her was so pure that it seemed absurd. She felt her Qi recover so quickly, that for a moment she thought that the potion she had taken earlier was still working.
Birds and butterflies flew freely and strangely, yet their presence was superior to that of ordinary people. However, they were not hostile to the arrival of Ingrid and Luan. Some small animals, as well as birds, looked briefly at them but did not care.
In the air, some small lands floated. The landscape was so clear and vivid, it didn't seem real. The flowers were the most beautiful flowers that Ingrid had ever seen, and the trees were so flowery that they were absurd to yet be so beautiful.
"Luan, is that place?..." Ingrid pointed.
Something even more frightening was the fact that something she only saw in photos and videos was right before her eyes. The planet earth was visible from their location; it was even closer than the sun and moon would normally seem from the earth.
"Yeah," Luan confirmed and explained, "Where we are at the moment is invisible to the naked eye; it has a barrier that prevents other people from being able to see. Even someone in the Sixth Order would be unable to see it."
"Wow!" Although she didn't know how incredible someone in the Sixth Order could be, she could at least imagine. If Luan was already so monstrously strong in the Second Order, what would someone be like in the Sixth Order?
When Ingrid looked back, she also saw the moon much closer than she ever imagined she would experience one day.
Suddenly, Luan held out his hand and then the birds and butterflies were attracted to him and began to surround them both, especially surrounding Luan. It was as if they were happy to be in his presence.
"Incredible, isn't it?" Luan smiled when he saw her reaction.
"In truth, this is all incredible." Ingrid was still stunned after she said those words.
Unlike other dimensional cracks, this dimensional crack was very close to the earth. However, without the special metal plate, it would be impossible to reach, since it could normally hide from all living beings inhabiting the planet. If it weren't for that plaque, perhaps it would only be possible for someone who had risen to the Seventh Order to be able to detect Leviathan.
"But, where is this Leviathan?"
Ingrid naively smiled at him, tilting her head like a curious rabbit, waiting for Luan's answer. She jumped when he suddenly stroked her head, his gaze distant and unreadable, his mind running down the road of memory.
When he had been brought to this place by that woman in his past life, she still had no control over Leviathan and the Leviathan was at least ten times larger than it was this time he came.
When he arrived, the birds and butterflies, as well as the other animals that lived here, surrounded him and stayed around him. In addition, a small squirrel bit his finger and made his blood drip on the floor. At that time he was not weak, yet a small squirrel had managed to make him bleed.
If he was not stunned at that moment, he would have loved to have seen the expression that woman made.
"Luan, are you listening to me?" Ingrid realized that just talking was no use, and pinched him angrily at being ignored for so long.
"Don't get mad that easily. I lost myself in thought." He teased her, tapping her nose with his long finger.
"So, where's Leviathan?" she asked again.
"This is Leviathan; this whole place is it," Luan replied with a smile.
