One week later
Inside the underground cave in the deepest part of Silver Mountain where Silvanbor's dwarf community resides, there is a gigantic metal orb with many tubes connected to it.
The gigantic orb shine brightly resembles a miniature sun which illuminates the area. It is [Earth Core].
Below it, there is a lava pool, the source power of [Earth Core]. The lava pool produces high temperature to the cave and boils it. It also produces natural poisonous gas. Normal people usually could not stay in this area for a long time because of this harsh environment.
However, there is a guy who is 'swimming' in the middle of the lava like swimming in the pool. He has dark colored hair and deep blue eyes.
Now, he resurfaces to the top of the lava pool while exhausted. He is none other than Josep Temus who tries to investigate the lava pool.
After the firestorm incident and hearing about the history of this location, he became more curious about this place.
Now, the outer layer of the lava pool surface is still boiling and produces bubbling hot lava but it is calm unlike the incident before. All of this happening because the [Earth Core] rune also controls the fire element in the lava pool.
The more Josep tried to proceed to the deep part of the lava pool, the more concentrated fire element. It is also beginning to hurt him even with his aura covering his skin.
Even after using his armor, he only managed a few meters deeper before it also became too hot and hurt him.
During these past days, he countless times tried to reach the deep part of the lava pool using various methods from using cooling spells to runes but all of them failed miserably. The ridiculous high temperature prevents him from seeing the deep part of it.
He didn't dare to use another ancient language word since he didn't know what kind of effect it would produce. Moreover, He will also be left with little bit of energy to defend himself after using the ancient language word.
Besides, this area is located at the deepest part of Silver mountain. It will be disastrous if [Earth Core] somehow is damaged by his action.
He still does not receive a lot of benefit from the Silvanbor's dwarf. He will not have risked his gold mine over his curiosity. Now it is calm without posing any threat. So, he will just leave the lava pool for the time being.
Beside investigating the lava pool, he also manages to test the usage of ancient language with the cost of half the food that Barbas provided.
He found that the ancient language energy consumption rate depends on the intent behind the caster. The higher the intent behind the word, the higher the energy it consumed.
For example, during the firestorm incident, Josep used [Chill] with intent to calm down the fire element which resulted using most of his energy.
But, if he uses [Chill] to make the normal room become cooler, the consumption rate will be at most like [Blizzard] spell.
Josep also found that unlike normal magic, ancient language will use life force energy if his mageforce is not enough to supply it.
This is also the reason why many people die after using ancient language. Fortunately, Gluttony's energy reservoir is somewhat similar to life force energy. This will act as a safety measure for him.
Thought about ancient language spells, He begins to remember Bezir who is now practicing in the time dimension. After a series of trial and error, he finally can use chaos magic. His chaos magic has frightening power that is almost on par with eight star spells.
However, Bezir expertise is in summoning spells rather than destruction spells. Normally, summoning spells need a lot of calculation and control of mageforce but now he can't control his mageforce at all.
Until yesterday the event manages to change all of that. Because of his tenacity to re-learn the art of summoning spells, he finally manages to summon new chaos creatures while training with Josep.
After testing the creature's power. It left with an unbelievable result. All things in his space dimension are left to wasteland.
It is happening because of the aftermath of battling with the chaos creatures. Just to beat that grotesque creature he needs to use his full power combined with his other personality's personality technique.
Moreover, according to Bezir it is only a medium rank of chaos creature which left him speechless. Fortunately, because of the fusion between him and chaos gem, Bezir has complete control over his summoning creature.
Chaos creatures are anomalies that always seek destruction towards the surrounding. Countless people already research about them to understand their nature and tame them. But, all of them failed since the creature itself was hard to be contained and controlled.
Some legend said that the chaos creature actually is the abomination that was born from the Evil God. Considering their nature to seek destruction toward the surrounding, many people start to believe it.
However, the truth is these creatures are actually a normal beast that is contaminated with many element mageforce at once and lead them into having chaotic state inside this body.
Normally, most of the life being could not survive having this chaotic state. But, there are still a few miracles of life that manage to overcome this. These few beings are known as chaotic creatures.
Chaotic creatures are always in the state of berserk and seek destruction towards the surrounding because of their unbalanced body state.
However, after doing some experiments and 'education' towards this creature. Bezir and Josep managed to make the creature think to a certain extent.
Rather than only seek destruction like an enraged stupid gorilla, now they could follow the command and doing as they ordered to.
Bezir is like a mad scientist working hard to improve his summoning creature inside Josep's time dimension. Summoning creatures is a bizarre art of magic. Rather than calling, summoning it more precisely to call re-creation magic.
Though it is still called summon because it is called a monster from Bezir's dimension. However, because of Bezir's chaos element. The creatures that are being imbued by it and mutating them turn into chaos creatures.
Josep also found that the chaos creature from Bezir's dimension was originally created by himself using various of sinister ritual.
Hearing about the ritual, rather than feeling disgust, Josep began to improve all the ritual and in just one-day time. They manage to create various new kinds of chaos creatures.
Josep thinks that these creatures will be an additional strength towards his plan. Using Alice's help, he also manages to create his own summoning creature.
But he didn't use any kind of those sinister rituals since it takes time, effort, and resources just to gather 'material'. He put all his summoning creatures in his dimensions.
Now, he is back to focus on his training inside his time dimension. He told the dwarfs that he will come out after another week. After that they will execute their plan to deal with Melbor dwarf's community and the Crown prince.
A weeks passed by uneventfully, Josep returned to the academy with the guild envoy. He left his two servants with the Silvanbor's dwarf while Moru hides in his shadow like usual.
As the contract already binds the Silvanbor's dwarf to help him and not disclose his information to anyone. The Silvanbor became the best hideout place for the two fugitives.
He manages to get some pocket money from them. This pocket money is enough to lead a luxurious life until he dies. But rather than feeling happy, when receiving it he told the dwarf to work harder since it is too little for his plan.
He told the dwarf's elder that with the almost unlimited supply of energy, they can produce more equipment to sell across the continent. He also gives suggestions about the marketing strategy and its target market.
He left certain items for them to deal with the crown prince. This item will surely solve their problem. Moreover, they may have got another huge chance to become more famous.
Now, Josep arrives at the academy. He immediately looks for his princess, Eve. He missed her a lot during this half month.
He found her in the nearby woods with a small group of people and that blazing girl called Nora. It seems they are into some kind of quarrel with other people.
As he arrived near them, "Now.. Now.. Let's calm down a little bit. I just want to ask Eve for lunch. You don't need to be so serious about it." another boy that Josep doesn't know said with a haughty expression.
It seems he is a new student that recently got transferred here during his absence. Normally, this will not be happening because now is almost the end of semester.
The transferred student usually will be waiting for the next semester to join. But, looking he can get in easily means he has a huge background.
During my thought, "You don't have the qualifications to ask her!!" [Nora]
"Well, If I am the prince of the Argan Empire, Eric Argante, don't have qualification then who is the one that has qualification about it?" replied Eric calmly.
"It… It should be the one that Eve chose by herself but that person should not be you!!" said Nora while hiding Eve behind her.
