Chapter 1438: Void Illusions
Sealyn’s early exposure to the harsh realities of conflict and the constant cycle of departure and return had instilled in her a heightened sensitivity to the anxieties and uncertainties that accompanied each mission. While her father may have offered advice or reassurance from a place of concern, Sealyn couldn’t shake the feeling that he didn’t fully comprehend the weight of her situation.
For Sealyn, the passage of time had only reinforced the significance of their missions and the toll it took on those left behind. The relentless anticipation of their safe return weighed heavily on her shoulders...
"See you soon," Rain said after he had done moving half of their forces to his pocket dimension. "Time to get to work."
Sealyn, Van, and the others who would stay behind nodded, and then Rain disappeared. Half of their forces had to stay behind because while they could use Portal Conjuration, it was extremely limited, like they had to focus for several seconds before activating the skill, or they could only make small objects pass through it... with that in mind, it would be better to leave them behind and let them focus on the remaining.
In any case, this time, Rain changed his movements a bit. He didn’t stop anywhere along the way for more than a minute, but he still checked all of the planets along the way before reaching the enemy’s territory.
Rain checked most of the ones in the solar system and used the chance to accumulate a bit more energy. He didn’t have to find a chance to do that often, after all.
The skill of Energy Absorption leveled up.
The skill Energy Absorption leveled up.
The skill Energy Absorption leveled up.
...
The skill was improving, so Rain was able to absorb and covert more energy. Eventually, he would be able to teleport around without having to worry about the cost... but that will take a while.
Although Rain wanted to speed up that process, he decided to keep moving as much as possible since the others were waiting patiently for the beginning of the mission. Thanks to that, it didn’t take long for them to reach the enemy’s territory, but they needed to keep going for a while longer before they reached their destination.
