Chapter 205: A strange place, 3rd gear.

" So...What is this place? " Athan muttered as he looked around.

He could only see clouds and nothing else.

Touching the cloud, he felt that they weren't real clouds since they felt puffy.

' Master, Do you want to change my armament form? If you want to, I can immediately initiate this process since I just reached the second stage. '

Hearing the question of Skylord, Athan replied with no and said, " No need to change. Just finalize your process. "

Skylord then finalized his form, which didn't change at all, and came out from the Erudite Palace in its full form.

Athan nodded while smiling because he could feel that Skylord gave off a more powerful presence than before.

Its body structure, wings, and other things became more refined, but its size didn't change. Well, The size doesn't represent power as Athan could feel that the current Skylord alone could be unbeatable on the first-level battlefield and was surprised by his own thoughts.

" This leap from the first stage to the second stage is quite big...I also felt a mysterious power enveloping me when you broke through, and it felt similar to the power in magic core. "

Skylord turned into the miniature cute dragon form and appeared in front of Athan with excitement its eyes and said, " Master, You should also progress in Spirit Astride plane now that I have reached the second stage. You should know that in this plane, Your progression is connected to us. "

Athan nodded as he knew that the Spirit Astride plane was similar to the soul altar plane, where his progress was linked to his altar spirits.

" Alright, Come inside the Erudite palace, and let's finish it. "

Skylord then disappeared while Athan used the normal abilities of DeathLord and Lucent's armament spirits.

" DeathKnight, maximize the barrier, and Lucent, activate the prism mirage field. "

A dark golden barrier appeared around Athan, who was still sitting on the throne. The barrier appeared for a second before it disappeared.

The barrier was still there but was simply invisible to the naked eyes.

After that, A wave suddenly pulsed off from his robe as several thrones with Athan sitting on them appeared.

One of them mirage remained while the others disappeared.

He could go into the special space, but he didn't because he wanted to put himself as bait here.

After doing this, Athan started his progression process.

The first stage in Spirit Astride plane was called Spirit Enchantment.

In this, his altar spirits engrave their power in the Erudite palace.

Doing this would cause Athan's Rule power, soul, and Primal core ( unima core ) to strengthen.

Skylord was currently in the middle of the Erudite palace with closed eyes as mysterious symbols started to form.

The symbols formed for a moment, and then they would disappear...as in engraved into the Erudite palace.

While this was happening, His primal core and soul started to strengthen.

But to his surprise, One more thing started to strengthen. The cores of Lightning Magic of Wisp O' thunderous and Blood magic of Versatile Covenant were getting slightly bigger.

" Looks like their capacity is increasing. "

He could also feel that his Rule power was getting stronger. Another surprising thing was that he felt something strange from the Primal chakrams, but he failed to notice anything when he sensed them carefully.

' Was it my imagination? Hmmm...I doubt that. '

Athan put it aside because he believed that whatever it was, it would reveal itself in the future.

This process of spirit enchantment lasted for an hour before it was over. During this process, nobody came to him outside too.

...

Athan changed his ride as he gave the Armament fragments to Lucent and DeathKnight so they can merge them inside their soul altars while he rode on the Skylord as they moved in a random direction.

" This view is not bad, though..." Athan muttered while looking in the sky and the clouds.

After moving for hours, Athan finally felt that he had landed himself in a tricky situation.

The view around him remained the same no matter how far he traveled.

" Is this really second-level battlefield? What's going on? "

His brows creased because despite this being a battlefield, he couldn't see any battles or even the presence of any people or beasts.

He had tried to go down, but he couldn't go below the clouds no matter how hard he tried because there was an invisible wall that prevented him from going down.

He had yet to try going upward in the sky, So he decided to do it.

" Skylord, Go upward. "

" Yes, Master. "

Skylord's four wings glowed with power as it launched itself upward powerfully.

Athan looked back and saw that he was distancing himself from the clouds and thought, ' Looks like going upward was the right choice. '

After flying for half an hour, Skylord suddenly spoke in a slightly exhausted voice, " Master, Something is draining my power. "

Athan was surprised and told Skylord to stop before asking, " I can't sense anything around here. How is your power getting drained? "

Below Athan was a vast patch of clouds, and he was quite far away from there. His current surrounding consisted of nothing but space and the little colorful dots in the sky that seemed unreachable.

" Master, I can feel something is just up ahead. "

Athan focused even more as he let out his soul energy and felt that something invisible was just up ahead.

He then told Skylord to continue, and after two minutes, They suddenly hit a wall.

" Master, Let's break this wall. "

Athan nodded as it was likely that he had to break this invisible wall to get past.

Seeing this, Skylord was going to attack, but Athan prevented him from attacking and said, " Let me attack first. "

Skylord wanted to say something but stopped. Skylord has an instinct to protect Athan as his altar spirit, so even if something strange appears, Skylord feels that he should face it first, but...

*BOOOM*

Athan attacked by punching the barrier but right after that, He received a voice in his head.

[ Please use your most powerful attack. Depending on the scale, You will be sent to the battlefield. No energy much be left within your primal core after using the attack as your most powerful attack should consume all of your primal energy. You may also use your most powerful magic spell with full power. ]

" Alright. " Athan muttered as he decided to use the Armament form of Skylord.

" Skylord, activate your Armament form and use 3rd gear: Dominant Welsh Blaster. "

" Yes, Master. "

Skylord's body started to shine before it turned into a dual-barrel giant gun with a red plated surface with dark metallic vein patterns that throbbed with energy.

The cannon's end had a shoulder stand that connected to Athan's back.

Athan pointed his finger towards the invisible barrier and muttered, " Smash! "
