Chapter 637
I don't directly reply to Monk's statement, as I know the strength of the people that are here, and am quite positive there is no way they can sense Raven.
"Great, I'd like to meet them right away."
Then, I say goodbye to Lith, sending him a mental wave of telepathy, linking him with another one of my doubles and Bri thousands of kilometers away in a three-way channel to continue discussing the business idea we came up with on my way over.
He turns away with a smile while I follow Monk into his temple without commenting on the fact that whoever is here knows of Raven, and was expecting my arrival as well.
As we walk into the black stone hallway, I feel the familiar sensation of my system and access to mana-based skills waver in and out of use. However, unlike the many times in the past when, once I got far enough inside, my system would go completely dark, the divine energy tethering to my being sets up a natural barrier between myself and the stone I walk on.
I can feel it is not purely a sensory manifestation either, as Monk's attributes are all greyed out in my senses because he's touching the stone.
Raven, who walks behind me completely in stealth mode, is also still connected to the system.
It is a mystery to me if this is because of my purple barrier, my true core's strength to overpower the stone, some mutation in my abilities, or something completely different.
The only thing that is at the forefront of my mind escapes my lips while Monk presses his hand against the closed entrance door at the end of the hall.
