A Sorcerer's Journey

Chapter 169: Relative Boundary

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chimera, the unique witchcraft created by the evilest extremists of Black Sorcerers in the sorcerer world.

It was a part of the studies to unravel the mysteries of life and death. The research started from exploiting the weaknesses of that life group, which was what most experiments were based on, leading to the art of killing performed by the Ancient Black Sorcerers. By using their own will power, Black Sorcerers reconstructed the life energy in such a sequence that formed abominations based on their imagination.

Chimeras could only be infused with life under four conditions.

First of all, it was necessary to gather a large amount of living flesh and blood. The second condition was to have an intact living heart that would beat forever. The third condition was the precise arrangement of the Carcasses Refinery Array and the continuous channeling of a large amount of energy. The last condition needed was, it had to be a Natural Elemental Soul.

None of these four conditions could be disregarded.

In some ways, a Chimera had some similarities with Grimm’s Dissimilation Sorcery. However, a Chimera was the result of an Ancient Black Sorcerer’s harsh technique that forced the different lifeforms that were repulsive to each other to be combined according to their imagination, which became a great assistance that they needed.

When Grimm chose to trade for this Living Heart, he had a few concerns pertaining to his own self.

If he managed to conquer an exotic world in a few hundreds of years to come, he would have the chance to forge a Chimera himself, or even research on Chimera’s Enhancement.

After all, there would be no Destructive Energy Research Equipment in a war campaign. If Grimm did not want to waste valuable research time on the journey back to the Sorcerer World, it would be a wise alternative to enhance himself by using other sorcerer’s method.

Grimm sliced opened a Dimensional Gap and stored the Living Heart. The Myna could be seen lying on its private stash pile of Magic Stones in a far distance, rolling around in ecstasy...

Shaking his head, Grimm walked silently towards the Alchemy Lab.

The center of the Alchemy Lab was a huge alchemy furnace, but it played no part in understanding the true nature of Alchemy. Therefore, it was left unused and unheated for years after refining Grimm’s Elemental Great Staff 1.0 Enhanced Edition.

A huge stand tray stood silently on a test bench.

The Heteromorphic Marrow had extraordinary elasticity and could be infinitely expanded. Grimm took a small bottle of it and made a metallic layer of Heteromorphic Marrow as thin as a piece of paper. Then, he expanded the Heteromorphic Marrow to about eight square meters.

Fifteen years ago, Grimm forged his original Ashen Mask using Heteromorphic Marrow. Nine years later, he infused it with Echolocation Spell perfectly.

The efficiency of the Echolocation Spell relied on auditory perception. To infuse such a spell onto the Ashen Mask, one had to focus on the technique in crafting Echolocation Spiral Runes. After a few years of thorough research in crafting Echolocation Spiral Runes, Grimm molded a prototype of the Mask of Truth. He carefully crafted each Echolocation Spiral Rune, combined them to form an Echolocation Spell and infused them with the new prototype mask.

In the center of the gray-white mask laid a purple-grey spiral pattern of Runes.

Grimm finally infused the Echolocation Spell onto the Mask of Truth prototype.

Based on the area estimation of the Heteromorphic Marrow extension, Grimm allocated one-fiftieth of the “maximum capacity” for the Echolocation Spell.

Grimm’s second choice of location sensing spell to be infused into the Mask of Truth was the Mystic Eye, the spell that Pianos acquired from a Foam Frog’s Eye.

With the Mystic Eye, Grimm could study the radium veins in twigs at a faster pace, he would learn a lot about the mysterious Esoteric in a very short amount of time.

The difficulty in refining the Mystic Eye into the Mask of Truth was in the dense reaction of neurons and the collocation of elements in the line of the eye. If it were practiced and cast on the human body, it would be relatively simple by using mental power. After all, the intelligence of a sorcerer was almost on par with his spiritual strength.

However, to simulate the emergence of neurons on a piece of equipment, one would have to master the sorcerer’s rules on Rune Crafting.

Rune Crafting usually required decades to finish.

Plus, there would always be problems with elemental compatibility in the neuronal reaction. It required a lot of precise calculations by the sorcerer. One minute calculation error could cause a domino effect, which affects the basic functioning of the entire mask.

Therefore, even with perfect calculations, Grimm would have to spend more than seventy years to craft an Infinity Eye perfectly on the Mask of Truth. There would be minor mistakes made along the way, which made the time needed almost impossible to determine.

Quietly sitting on a test bench, Grimm gathered his robes.

Drawing the regular runes of the simulated neurons was not done to sustain any magical turbulence. The subtle reaction between the elements would be known as the pharmaceutical knowledge of alchemy.

It was a large workload calculation which included the subtle reaction between elements. If Grimm wanted to draw according to the normal method, it would be at least double the original time. Therefore, Grimm spent more than twenty Sorcerer Essences to purchase thirteen bottles of extremely precious Magic Ink.

There were two types of Magic Inks.

One was a magical guide item that the elite sorcerers used for the Sorcerer’s Elements calculation or Alchemy calculation. The other type of Magic Ink was for the purification of the blood of natural life elements.

All the thirteen bottles of Magic Ink exuded different elemental energy properties. Grimm drafted a Mystic Eye on the Heteromorphic Marrow layer for his Mask of Truth. After a moment in deep thought, he picked up a special goose pen with some dark element Magic Ink and started to craft in silence.

From time to time, Grimm had to switch to other Magic Inks with different elements. It was a taxing thing to do.

Heteromorphic Marrow was the most advanced alchemy material in alchemy. It was claimed to be infinitely malleable and adaptable. In terms of adaptability, Grimm did not find any sort of rejection towards any type of energy. However, in terms of extensibility, it had its relative upper limit.

This upper limit was not affected by a sorcerer’s extension skill, but by the relative transformation rule of the endless world in terms of the area and volume of ??the material energy.

All matters that existed had a certain passive influence on the rules of the world. When the matter’s influence was substantial, it would become part of the endless world’s rule, just like a guardian of the world.

In general, most of the rules within the world tended to be gentle and stable.

However, if certain substances occupied a large area that affects the rules of the world, yet was not capable of being influential in any way, it would be scattered and dispersed into smaller pieces.

Therefore, although the Heteromorphic Marrow claimed to have unlimited extensibility, no sorcerer could extend it infinitely.

This was the observation of sorcerers in this endless world. Such findings had no meaning to common creatures.

Such “useless” knowledge was essential in keeping the whole world in shape and mobilized, an effective weapon of the world’s guardians to repel the invading forces from different worlds!

Based on historical records, most of the fallen Stigmata Sorcerers and a handful of Great Necromancers died in the conquest of different worlds because of these “useless” knowledge.

Four hourglasses later.

Grimm’s Intoxication Sorcery condition was relatively decent today. He left his alchemy and his regular research routine. Instead, he left his Demon-Hunter Castle, and headed towards the direction of the Tree of Life.

A month ago, Grimm felt a new sensation on his body, it was as if he was touched by a wonderful yet mysterious boundary.

The feeling he experienced was unclear. If Grimm had to describe it, this world was like a piece of paper. Grimm only had to fold the paper in half to bend the space between material worlds. Now, he seemed to have felt the other side of the paper.

The other side was the shadow of the paper, the virtual world of the material world. Grimm presumed that such a wonderful feeling was the same as the highest level of the true talent of Kyrie.

This feeling signified that Grimm had touched the relative boundaries between the material world and the void!

The relative boundary between this material world and the void world was not the natural boundary of the chaotic layer between worlds.

Entering the void from the chaotic layer was like entering the shadow of the paper through the edge of the paper. When one entered the void from the Relative Boundary, his or her body would feel like it was placed in a limitless space as it would be experiencing the shadow side of the paper.

This was the Relative Boundary.
