Chapter 458 456:Tear Of Isle

Alex and Vermouth who stood at the rear end of the graveyard with a single coffin in sight suddenly felt a surge of mana.

A portal appeared before Alex and he could notice a pocket dimension in it.

"A pocket dimension and here of all the place," Alex spoke with a smile.

"Follow me!"Vermouth spoke and entered inside.

The space distorted before Alex and he was drawn into a strange place

Alex stepped in and the first thing that came into view was a huge blue sky even though there was no sun in sight.

There was no wind but the grass was swaying.

Alex tapped the ground and looked around to notice that the place was oddly comfortable.

He closed his eyes and inhaled heavily.

"The mana here is quite dense," Alex muttered, causing Vermouth who stood aside from him to nod.

On the other side of the field lay a beautiful garden and at the centre, many old buildings stood which seemed to be quite shabby as they weren't taken care of properly.

Alex could also spot a few statues of those who might be The Emperor of Arkham.

Alex could see the vastness of the space. It was impossible to create this alone. It was a piece of art.

The subspace used by a creature of darkness was kept working by the God of Darkness's blessing.

Once the blessing and divinity collapse, the pocket dimension would collapse but this place seems to have been made artificially without any blessing.

As Alex drew closer, Vermouth emerged and asked"Don't you find this place quite beautiful."

"It's warm and soothing along with the gentle breeze caressing you."

"This place seems to be nice for retirement with your wives and children," Alex spoke with a chuckle.

"I agree."

"How did you create such a place? Did Arkham have an Archmage..No, it requires the help of a Supreme Magus?"

"This Pocket Dimension was made a hundred years ago. Our ancestors along with the pioneers of Magic tower had taken part in its creation.''Vermouth muttered.

"Every Empire has something like this," Alex asked curiously.

Vermouth nodded at Alex's question and muttered"This place also acts as an evacuation centre for royals in case of troublesome times and only the person carrying royal blood can access the place."

"And I am the only exception," Alex uttered with disbelief.

"Yeah."

"This place is good for training. The mana here is five times denser than outside. One day on the outside is equal to 10 days here."

"You can train here safely for the remaining 15 days we have before the war," Vermouth muttered and gave Alex a ring.

"Do Noah and Nolan train here?"Alex asked.

"This place requires resources to operate and if you spend too much time here, you will age faster," Vermouth replied and asked Alex to take a look.

Alex poured out the things from the ring and a heap of treasures fell.

Alex raised his brows and crouched down to take a look. There were many elixirs along with medicinal herbs in them.

Alex scanned through the things with excitement as if he had received gifts for a fast time and suddenly froze.

His eyes widened at the sight of a small tear-shaped crystal. His hands trembled as he held on to it.

"Tears of Isle," Alex muttered with disbelief.

His gaze interchanged between the Tears Of Isle and Vermouth.

Tear Of Isle was so precious that it can be considered an heirloom.

It is the condensed mass of dew drops from World Tree. A single drop of dew from Tree life can help one to break through the shackle and prolong one life.

And to add further, the Tear Of Isle in his hand had been imbued with a dense fiery mana.

The World Tree was considered not only a representation of nature but was also the embodiment of Goddess Hirt in herself.

Since it was worshipped as a symbol of Mother Nature, sometimes special dew drops are formed which were imbued with fiery properties that when assimilated into one body provide resistance to the corresponding property.

"I...I can't accept this."

"This is too precious even for me," Alex spoke and pleaded to Vermouth to take this away.

"Alex, we have more. It's very precious but not to the point where we don't have any."

"You might have more but do you have one with elemental property other than this?"

Vermouth closed his lips for a moment.

"I knew it," Alex spoke with a sigh.

"Please keep it for Noah. He might need this in future."

Vermouth shook his head and refuted firmly"You need this more than him. Noah had a great number of treasures with him to protect himself."

"More than that, Alex, do you think Noah can handle the painful process of integrating it?"

"The reason it is lying waste in a corner is no one is brave enough to take this. It would be another thing if it is a rock, water or wind element but fire is a troublesome element."

Vermouth's words made Alex think for a moment.

After going through all kinds of things, he didn't think that this would affect him.

"In this case, thanks for this."

Alex accepted it heartily.

"I would like to start with this first ."

"As your wish."

"Your Highness, please bring Riya here if she asks for me."

"I will open this for everyone here. Maybe they can learn something from you."

Alex sat cross-legged and chugged the elixir at once.

"Kayak!"

Alex groaned as a bitter aftertaste lingered in there. Alex took a few elixirs at once.

His throat felt dry and his body suddenly hit up.

Veins bulged all over his body and a strong vitality pulsated through his body.

Feeling his flesh being torn apart transmitted all over his body.

His body muscles started to twitch and undergo rapid expansion and contraction again and again.

"Alex, are you alright?"

"You took too many at once. Your body may burst due to overconsumption."

"Haaaaa...."

"I am okay."Alex squeezed out the words painfully and took the Tear of Isle into his hands while wondering about the suffering he was going to feel.
