The Place Where Everything Begins

Jeremy's eyes right now seemed to contain countless stars of wisdom, which could guide people to the highest astral space and also capable of driving people into the depth of endless abyss at the same time.

Meanwhile, the diagram on the animal leather also shone up with white light; it was even brighter than before.

Then the diagram, runes, and offering on the animal leather suddenly transformed into a clump of white glow before moving towards Jeremy's body swiftly...

*Whoong*

The strange, sonorous noise resounded out from within the tent as the white glow went inside Jeremy's body, not leaving a single trace behind.

It was as if nothing had happened before...

*Fwuu...*

After seeing the offering and diagram had disappeared into his body, Jeremy promptly let out a long breath of relief and thought satisfactorily,

'Nice... What a familiar and comfortable feeling to be encased so tightly by countless space elemental particles...'

'Alright... no time to waste as I don't know how long the effect will last.'

Having thought so after gaining back his control over the space element, Jeremy turned his head towards another animal leather on the side that had five dimly lit arrays connected to one another stuck on its surface.

Without further ado, Jeremy started drawing runes in the air again to fill the five arrays of the Spell Array 1-157.

However, the runes Jeremy drew now spotted some differences from the runes he had inscribed so far, for some of them were space elemental runes.

Whenever Jeremy drew 'mana' runes, his index fingers would shine in light-blue color. Meanwhile, when Jeremy drew the 'space' elemental runes, his fingers would shine in silver-grey color instead, clearly showing the difference between the two types of runes.

One by one...

Jeremy filled the five arrays with intricated-looking runes at a swift pace...

Well, he was a bit afraid that he could not make it in time after all...

...

Fifteen minutes later, within the tutorial chamber...

Right now, Jeremy had already finished packing the tent and keeping everything back inside the left glove.

Afterward, he walked towards the right passageway where the spider forsaker came out from.

Not long after, Jeremy finally stood in front of the right passageway's entrance. Then he reached out his right hand forward as if trying to touch something.

Surprisingly, there was no barrier situated there anymore...

'Indeed, the barrier has disappeared after the tenth horde is defeated...'

'Hmm... Should I cast an exploration spell or play it passively?'

Jeremy seemed to be pondering hard to himself about his following approach.

After some seconds, he finally shook his head dismissively and thought,

'Let's just play it passively as I only have around half my mana left...'

Upon finishing his thought, Jeremy walked to the right side, towards the closest magical torch on the wall. Then he retrieved the torch out from the metal connector stuck on the wall.

Soon after, Jeremy walked into the dark passageway with a torch in his left hand and a steel spear in his right hand...

With each step inside, the cave-like channel seemed to become darker and darker as the light source from the tutorial chamber became farther and couldn't reach the place where Jeremy was.

Fortunately, he had brought a magical torch along to give him enough light, causing him to see more than ten meters ahead.

*Flip-flop*

*Flip-flop*

Jeremy walked further and further into the passageway...

Just like that, his footsteps rang out within the dimly lit passageway, creating audible echoing noises, reflecting on the solid walls along the way...

...

Some minutes later...

After walking for a while but still seeing nothing in sight except for the stone walls on the sides, Jeremy felt quite bored right now...

'Why is it so far anyway? Also, what is the trick to make those monsters appear so fast in the two passageways after the countdown ends? And how can they...'

'Hmm... A light dot?'

Jeremy, who was going to complain like a sissy as he had been walking for some time but still found nothing noticeable, finally saw a small dot of light in the distance ahead of him.

After seeing the light, Jeremy thought about many possibilities and scenarios of the things awaiting him ahead. Meanwhile, his feet never stopped...

After a few more minutes, Jeremy finally arrived not far from the light source as the scene inside the light unfolded before him.

'Well... So, it is the entrance to another tutorial chamber...' Jeremy thought in wonder and amazement after seeing the place before of him.

Currently, Jeremy saw a red crystal floating in the middle of the chamber in front of him.

Due to the distance that was still quite far from him, Jeremy could only see it as a small red crystal floating there silently.

However, he could still estimate roughly that the red Crystal's size was approximately the same as the green Crystal within the tutorial chamber he came from.

Right now, Jeremy, who was looking at the chamber within the entrance while walking towards it, promptly 'felt' something unexpected from within.

'Oh?' Jeremy exclaimed inwardly.

At this time, Jeremy should have felt truly surprised because he constantly stopped in tracks after feeling the 'thing'.

Then, he thought momentarily with a deep frown,

'That is definitely it... no doubt; it is the mana fluctuation caused by someone using a spell...'

The reason why Jeremy stopped his footsteps was that he suddenly felt 'mana fluctuation' from within the hall ahead of him.

Sure enough, Jeremy could even pinpoint that it was from someone casting a spell...

In fact, if the said mana fluctuation came exuding out from the red Crystal, Jeremy wouldn't be this startled at all.

However, the mana fluctuation actually came from the left corner of the square chamber in front of him.

After pausing his footsteps for a few seconds...

'Heh... An ambush?'

Jeremy thought amusingly to himself and continued walking into the chamber.

Simultaneously, countless ideas and strategies to cope with his supposed ambusher also came into his mind at light speed.

To be honest, Jeremy came prepared this time...
