The time it took to pass through the void vortex was not long, but for Grimm and the others, it was as long as a century.
Their bodies were constantly stretched, squeezed, and rubbed by the distorted void … If it wasn't for their valiant physique and powerful spirit supporting them after advancing, an ordinary sorcerer-apprentice's body would probably have disintegrated during the process of crossing, their spirit would have collapsed, and they would have died in pain halfway through their journey.
Even Grimm had to grit his teeth and endure the pain, barely withstanding the strange distortion of space.
In order not to alarm the plane's consciousness, the mysterious wizard Salubo had obviously used some strange method to erode a small wormhole in the plane's barrier. Thus, under the collision between the plane's laws and Salubo's, the void vortex was filled with void turbulence caused by the shattering of space.
With the strength of Grimm and the others, once they were sucked into it, they would be crushed to death!
However, under the guidance of Wizard Sarubo's consciousness projection, Grimm and the others did not fall into the vortex of the void. Instead, they quickly passed through it, dodging one terrifying turbulence after another, and suddenly appeared in another world.
This was a secluded valley in the Boundless Mountain Range.
The ancient trees in the forest were tall and vigorous, and the open palm-leaf umbrellas easily occupied an area of an acre. The surroundings were also filled with tall mountains, crisscrossing ravines, and the chirping of birds and insects could be heard.
However, amidst the birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, a terrifying disaster was silently brewing.
A small hole opened in the middle of the grassland, and in front of the hole, a black-robed wizard was silently sitting with his legs crossed, his body wrapped in dense golden chains. One end of these golden chains sank into the body of the black-robed Sorcerer, while the other end sank into the surrounding void. It was an extremely strange sight.
Due to the binding of the golden chains, the black-robed wizard did not dare to do anything. A casual movement or a cough could cause a strong reaction from the golden chains, and the surrounding space would be affected. After all, this was only a small material plane, and the internal structure of the continent was not even a hundredth of the Magus Continent. Thus, a plane like this could not accommodate creatures that were too powerful.
With Salubo's identity as a rank 6 Wizard, trying to squeeze into the material world was like trying to stuff a tiger into a cat's cage. One could only imagine the difficulty. Moreover, as a creature of the Magus World, Magus Salubo's body and soul contained a strong aura of the Magus World, which was incompatible with the laws of this plane.
Planar Worlds were different, and the Planar Laws were also very different.
The higher the rank of a Sorcerer's soul, the more severe the rejection from the plane would be.
Therefore, if Wizard Salubo really entered this strange plane, it would be very difficult to find an opponent that could fight him. But as long as he hadn't analyzed the laws of this plane, his body and soul would always be suppressed and rejected by the plane's consciousness.
Before he dispelled the repulsive force, his strength would be suppressed to an extremely low level. If he resisted the plane's suppression too much, it would attract the attention of the plane's consciousness. At that time, he would attract even more enemies, and with the suppression from the law chains, it would be difficult for him to defend against a group of weaker enemies.
Thus, as the standard procedure for a plane invasion, Magus Salubo, the mastermind behind the scenes, would corrode a wormhole in the plane's barrier and then project a strand of his consciousness in. He would then guide the subsequent low-ranked Magi into this plane, slowly corroding it bit by bit!
… …
The void vortex, which had been calm all this time, suddenly showed a trace of movement.
* Pop, pop, pop … *
Following the continuous ripples in the space, black-robed Magi were spat out one by one and rolled on the ground.
Grim painfully crawled up from the ground, but as soon as he stood up, he squatted down again.
A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, and countless law chains suddenly extended from the void around him, instantly suppressing his strength to an undetectable level.
Damn it, damn it, damn it …
Stifling, oppressive, distorted …
His mouth and nose felt as if a thick layer of wet wipes had been stuck to it, making it difficult to breathe.
The powerful elemental energy that filled his body was like a broken bottle, and in an instant, not a single drop was left.
Out of the seven Magi, the body-enhancing Magus, Kiel, had the best performance. Even though his spirit was greatly suppressed, he still had an extremely strong body. A few of the weaker elemental Magi were all frowning, unable to get up after being pressed to the ground.
As veteran Magi, they had gathered precious resources everywhere to increase their strength, so their bodies could not be too weak. The reason why they were in such a bad state was mainly because they were used to the feeling of being strong. Now that all the energy in their bodies had been sucked out, even breathing and walking felt extremely uncomfortable.
Grim slowly stood up from the grass and slowly moved his body.
He could feel it too. The laws of this plane were very different from his original world. If he wanted to recover his strength, he would need to slowly adapt to the laws of this plane. Now, as long as he did not rashly use the elemental energy that had merged with his body, the suppression of the laws of the plane would not be as strong and violent.
After everyone had slowly adapted to the environment, they stood up and walked towards the hazy projection sitting cross-legged on the grass. They bowed and waited for their orders.
Of course, this was not Wizard Salubo's original body, but just a projection of his consciousness. Even so, the backlash of the laws of the plane was still very clear on his body. In comparison, the dimensional suppression of these rank 1 Magi was negligible.
"You all came here successfully. Very good. Now, leave a few of you here to modify the environment. The rest of you, spread out and seal off all the paths leading to this place. Do not let any outsiders disturb my analysis of the laws of the plane. The spatial ripples caused by the void whirlpool just now might have attracted the attention of the powerful beings of this plane, so you must increase your vigilance. The second batch of Magi will only arrive in a month. Before that, you must guard this place by yourselves! "Salubo's projection gave a few simple instructions and went silent.
Everyone looked at each other and retreated to a distance, beginning to arrange their next tasks.
Although they were all rank 1 Magi, they still had to listen to Wizard Cogan's orders. After all, Lord Forgan had emphasized this point many times before they had come here.
"We've just arrived here, and our strength is at its weakest. It's not suitable for us to make any big movements in the short term. I've set a limit of three miles in the next three days. Do not come into contact with the natives too early.
Kiel, Winkomir, Cohen, and I will stay here and try to build a camp in the shortest time possible to hide Lord Forgan and the void whirlpool. Entik, Mary, and Grimm, you three will be in charge of the periphery. First, clean up any dangerous creatures nearby. Do not let them intrude and disturb Lord Forgan.
Do you hear me? "
Everyone nodded, and Grimm and the other two did not show any change in expression.
This was a situation that he had already expected. As new Magi who had yet to be trusted, Cogan would not allow them to get close to the weakened projection of his consciousness. Hence, he left a few Magi from the old families in the camp and sent Grimm and the other two to the periphery. This was to be expected.
After the tasks were distributed, everyone began to get busy.
Cogan and the other three stayed in the camp, but their workload was not any less than Grimm and the other two.
Kiel, as a Magus that tempered his body, was an indispensable force in the construction of the camp. He only needed one punch to break the thick trees that required a person to wrap their arms around them. His iron-like palms chopped a few times, clearing the branches that were as thick as a child's arm. He then carried the thick tree trunk that weighed more than a thousand kilograms and slowly returned to the camp.
As they had just transmigrated, the laws of the plane had sealed them tightly, making it difficult for powerful spells to be cast. Even those extremely simple Witchcraft methods had deviated greatly due to the changes in the plane's laws.
Perhaps one only wanted to summon a small flame to cook, only to find that the small flame had turned into a blazing fireball, turning the fire pit into a charred pit. Perhaps one wanted to summon a Scarlet Firestorm to attack an enemy, only to find that it was only a small flame, not even enough to heat up the enemy's body.
The differences in the laws of the plane caused all spells to become somewhat strange and distorted. Before familiarizing themselves with the laws of the plane, their individual strength was probably not much stronger than the natives of this plane.
Grimm stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, intending to light a small flame at his fingertips. Unexpectedly, after the elemental light in the air flickered, a dark green frog appeared in his hand.
This was an ordinary frog with rough lumps on its back. It was obviously very surprised at its sudden appearance here. It blinked its large bulging eyes and looked around for a long time before jumping out of Grimm's hand, hopping and hopping as it disappeared into the depths of the grass.
Damn it, the changes in the laws of the plane were so great? It actually caused a fire element spell to mutate into a random Nature's Summoning?
Grimm calmed himself down and began to communicate with the A.I. Chip.
"A.I. Chip, how is the analysis of the laws of this plane going?"
[Beep. This plane is a low-grade material plane. The magic elements here are sparse, only 27% of the Magus World's. Similarity of laws: 69%. Estimated time of analysis: 235 hours 27 minutes 18 seconds … Current analysis progress: 0.013% …]
In Grimm's mind, a long progress bar was almost completely occupied by a glaring red. The green bar that represented the analysis progress was only a thin line. Even if Grimm thought that his eyesight was good, he could not detect the slightest bit of progress on the green bar!
Grimm calmly looked at Entik and asked, "Which direction do you choose?"
Although they had a deep hatred for each other, in this other plane, they could only temporarily stop fighting and save their own lives.
Entik's drooping hood flickered with a pair of green will-o '-the-wisps. He casually pointed in a direction and turned to leave. When Entik's slim figure disappeared into the depths of the forest, Mary walked to Grimm's side and made a throat-slitting gesture. Her scarlet eyes revealed a questioning look.
Grimm thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head and turned to walk in another direction. Mary shrugged her shoulders regretfully and silently transformed into a vampire bat. She avoided Entik and Grimm's paths and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
