Five days was neither a long time nor a short time.
To the Bug Lich Bliss, it was merely a game with a bunch of bug soldiers to accompany the goblins. But to the pitiful goblins of Beta Town, it meant thousands of casualties. Among them were 125 goblins and 900 slaves of various races …
On the fifth day, Bliss broke away from the goblins the moment he sensed that the metal ball was brimming with energy, and snuck into the depths of the forest under the cover of the night.
When the metal ball unfolded silently in an empty space in the forest, the starlight in the sky dimmed. Rays of terrifying starlight that were comparable to the scorching sun shot out from the core of the ball, illuminating the entire empty space in the forest.
The intense radiance even penetrated the dense layers of leaves above their heads, and shot countless light pillars into the pitch-black night sky, illuminating half of the sky as if it was daytime. This strange scene could be clearly seen even from dozens of miles away.
Along with the intense radiance came a series of terrifying Void ripples that shook the dimensional barriers. As the void ripples became more intense, the spatial fluctuations became more frequent, and the entire dense forest was affected by the wormhole that was about to form.
In Beta Town, which was 30 to 40 miles away, the two army commanders, Barzick and Naru, hurriedly ascended the observation platform, and looked at the terrifying light pillars that shot straight into the sky in shock.
They did not have elemental talents, and naturally could not sense the existence of the spatial fluctuations in the void. But the inexplicable sense of danger made their hearts beat faster and faster. If they did not press on their hearts with both hands, their hearts that were beating faster and faster might break free from the restraints of their flesh and jump out of their chests.
"This feeling … seems … familiar … to me … That's … That's …" Deputy Army Commander Naru was a skinnier green goblin. He wore a well-ironed military uniform and a pair of elegant gold-rimmed glasses, making him look like a noble goblin.
But at this moment, he was so scared that his face was ashen. He pointed at the light pillars in the distance, and stammered, unable to speak.
"That's a long-distance teleportation, and it's a kind of cross-plane teleportation …" Barzik's face turned pale. He stared into the distance with his bean-like eyes and uttered the word that Naru was most afraid of while gnashing his teeth.
In less than five days, two such appalling anomalies had appeared around Beta Town in a row. If they still hadn't realized it, they wouldn't be worthy of being the legion commander of tens of thousands of goblins.
Beta Town, no, this plane that they relied on for survival, had already been targeted by a terrifying enemy. The last time the anomaly occurred, it was relatively small, which meant that only a small number of monsters from other planes had invaded. But this time, with such a grand scene, it was likely that the invading enemy would be far more powerful than before.
The entire Karyek area was under the control of the Seventh Basik Marine Regiment. Based on past battle procedures, when there was an enemy that the local garrisons couldn't handle, only Bartz had the authority to gather the Goblin garrisons in the various cities and send them to the battlefield in a planned manner.
In order to clear out the slave rebellions, the 7th Marine Regiment retained the 400 Goblin Mobile Regiment. They were enough to put out those sporadic small rebellions!
But at this moment, Barzik looked at the sky in the distance, and his heart sank as if it had sunk into a bottomless cold pool, cold and dark. Most importantly, he could feel that he was still sinking, but he couldn't find any opportunity to get out of the current situation.
"Where's the goblin airship? Where's our goblin airship? Get them to move out quickly. I want to get there as soon as possible and give the enemy a head-on blow … "Barzik was like a gambler who had lost a lot, and he shouted anxiously on the observation platform.
Immediately, a goblin officer ran down to pass on the order.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the huge goblin airship rose from the parking place northeast of the town. It whistled and quickly flew across the night sky towards the direction where the light rose.
For the goblin airship, a distance of 30 to 40 miles was only a matter of half a quarter of an hour.
In the anxious anticipation of the thousands of goblins in the town, the goblin airship quickly approached the forest where the "accident" happened. But just as it descended, intending to spy on the situation in the forest, a fiery meteor shot out and hit its large floating bag.
In the next moment, a gigantic fireball appeared in the sky above the forest, and the terrifying shockwave from the explosion blew up all the trees and plants within half a mile of it.
Even though they were 30 to 40 miles away, the goblins who had climbed onto roofs, city walls, and observation platforms could feel the scorching heat wave pressing towards them. Under their dumbfounded gazes, the goblin airship that had always been seen as a flying tank exploded into a ball of fire, and then turned into thousands of meteors that scattered down.
At this moment, all the goblins were speechless!
Even Barzik, who had been shouting crazily on the observation platform, suddenly became despondent, and his head that had always been held high drooped.
A powerful enemy had finally arrived!
… …
Grim retracted his raised right hand.
It was him who, after passing through the wormhole, had cast a spell to shoot down the goblin airship that dared to show off in front of him before he could adjust his mental state.
But the price he had to pay for this was huge.
A violent fireball with a power of 220 degrees had reduced his mental state by more than a third, and it had also triggered the plane's suppression that entangled his body and soul. He could not help but hold onto his staff and cough violently.
Mary, who had transmigrated with him, was obviously unable to adapt to the plane's laws here. Her entire body seemed dispirited, and she could not completely control her own body.
The wormhole created by the metal ball was obviously unable to support more people passing through. Once the void energy was exhausted, the wormhole that had lost its support would quickly collapse.
As the wormhole became smaller and smaller, the side of the forest facing the wormhole immediately encountered a reverse spatial tide. Countless soil, dried branches, grass, rotten leaves, small insects, and other miscellaneous objects, due to the lack of protection from spells, were all swept up by the restrained spatial tide into the thumb-sized spatial singularity.
Finally, with a soft pop, even the spatial singularity disappeared under the powerful plane's healing force.
The entire forest regained its former peace.
However, standing in the clearing and looking around, it was as if this place had been attacked by a super terrifying meteor. All the trees within a half-kilometer radius had collapsed. The side of the forest facing the wormhole had been cleaned up, not a single debris or residue could be found. Even the loose soil on the surface of the ground had been sucked away by the spatial singularity, revealing the dark black soil underneath.
As a Bloodline Sorcerer, Mary's physique should have been far superior to Grimm's. However, as Grimm advanced to a Tier 2 Sorcerer, his physique surpassed Mary's, becoming stronger and more resilient than her.
Thinking back to the first time he transmigrated to another plane, even with the protection of a Tier 6 Great Sorcerer, Grimm was still suppressed by the plane's power to the point where he could hardly breathe. He could barely even walk. This time, however, without the protection of a Great Sorcerer, Grimm protected Mary and successfully withstood the spatial force during the transmigration, entering the Goblin Plane without suffering any injuries.
After transmigrating, Grimm only needed to adjust his breathing a few times to be able to move freely.
Although he still could not cast spells as he wished, it was much better than Mary's limp limbs.
"I hate this world!" Mary leaned on Grimm's body and cursed hatefully, "The damned laws of this plane make me feel like a fish thrown into the desert. I can't breathe anymore …"
Grimm smiled bitterly as he felt the same.
Strictly speaking, Sorcerers could be considered a group of high-energy creatures with human bodies. Their bodies were constantly resonating with their surroundings, communicating with each other. The magical energy that permeated the plane constantly nourished their bodies, allowing them to constantly be in a state of high mana.
However, in this low-Magic Goblin Plane, the concentration of magical energy in the Plane of Existence was so low that it could cause one to collapse. Moreover, the magical energy here was inert, far from being as active and fresh as in their source world.
Hence, even if it was just a normal breath, the Magi would feel as if they had to use all their strength just to get air into their lungs!
After a dozen or so breaths, Mary finally got used to the 'dirty and inferior' air in the Goblin Plane. Only then did she leave Grimm's support and could move on her own.
"Bliss, you've done well!" Grimm stooped down to retrieve the metal ball that had exhausted all the energy in the void. He looked at Bliss, who was bowing at the side, "Now, bring us to your hiding place. I need more first-hand information on the Goblin Plane … "
"My Lord, everything is ready!" Bliss' black robe shrouded his insect head, revealing a sinister smile. "Please follow me!"
With that, Bliss turned and led the way into the forest.
Grimm and Mary put on their black robes and pulled up their hoods, following him silently.
In order to avoid being surrounded by the natives, they had no choice but to keep a low profile and be careful.
The last time they transmigrated to the Knight Plane, there was a level 6 Great Wizard there to support them, so the spatial disturbances did not spread too far. But this time, they practically crossed over in a brisk manner. Due to the lack of the Wizard's Pagoda's concealment, the intense spatial disturbances could travel thousands of miles.
