Asroth slowly opened his eyes and felt a powerful energy flowing through his body.
He looked again at his Mana Soul and saw a strange stone there. It had writing on it and it was glowing.
"Divine primordial time stone?"
He slowly touched it with his Mana Soul!
"AHHH! Asroth!" Asroth quickly opened his eyes when he heard Asrah's voice.
"Asrah!" he immediately shouted.
Asroth looked around and saw that he was back in front of the cave. It was still night, and he was sitting on a small stone.
"Was that just a dream?" Asroth asked himself.
But Asroth's eyes widened because he could feel the strong Mana in his body!
"2nd level Mana Force!" Asroth's eyes were wide, and his hands were trembling with shock!
2nd Level Mana Force!
He had indeed reached the 2nd level Mana Force, and the place he had been to was not a dream.
Asroth stood up and gently formed Mana in his hand and lightly struck the stone he was sitting on, and as soon as he hit it, the stone shattered.
Asroth's heart was racing now. Joy, surprise, excitement, and questions...
These were the different emotions he was feeling.
"A-Asroth... w-what happened? How did you do that?" Asrah asked, stunned. She had seen how Asroth shattered the stone with a simple tap that was even gentler than swatting a mosquito.
No 1st level Gathering Mana could do that, especially since Asroth had just come from a fight with a magic beast and was severely injured. He had also depleted his mana, so how could he emit such powerful Mana?
"Asrah... how long was I gone?" Asroth asked Asrah as he walked towards her.
"3 seconds..."
"3 seconds!?" Asroth was shocked at what Asrah said.
"That's impossible! I was in that world for almost 2 hours!" Asroth shouted.
"That world??" Asrah exclaimed in surprise.
"But it was really just 3 seconds... When I opened my eyes, I saw you sitting and holding your chest for 1 second. Then you suddenly disappeared for another second... and then you came back and were standing, which was another second," Asrah explained.
Asroth couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had been in disbelief about everything that had been happening!
Asroth took a deep breath.
He slowly touched the Time Stone inside his Mana Soul again.
And just as he expected, he was back in that strange world.
He touched the Time Stone again and returned in front of Asrah.
Now he was sure it was real!
"A-Asroth, what's happening to you?" Asrah said fearfully.
Asroth took her hand, and they walked into the cave, and he told Asrah everything.
He told her that he had reached the 2nd Level Mana Force and about the strange world he had been to.
