Chapter 947: Count

Grikori was able to run almost twenty miles before the Purple Mist Sect members caught him. His strange shadow powers made it very tricky to pin him down, but it only took a small amount of their poison to slow him down and make him easy prey. Sage caught up with them and sent all three to the Inner World together. Thankfully, they had been considerate enough to bring him out into the middle of nowhere before attacking so Grikori was quite far from a settlement he could hide in. This level of the capital was not a very popular one, and from what Sage saw while traveling it was that the majority of the population was those born here and without the means to leave. Only a small number of the people came here on purpose and they were similar to Count Voctem in that they were dark and creepy folks who felt most at home in a creepy swamp. The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

Sage sent out a wave of Spiritual Sense to test for the nearest settlement. Then he ran over there without wasting any more time, using Cosmic Traction to make up for the places he couldnt find a tree or other solid object to use as a step. This technique was one of the many reasons he never felt threatened by Count Voctems trap. Even if things got out of hand, he never felt that little ring of trees was enough to cage him in. He could just leap into the sky to escape. Thinking of it now, he was somewhat ashamed of his behavior, itching for a fight so bad hed held back just to make the fight more enjoyable. Since when had he become one of those battle maniacs?

Stopping at the settlement only long enough to get his bearings, Sage then brought out a motorized watercraft and drove off towards Voctems manor. In the time he was running to the settlement he had a swamp vehicle researched and manufactured on the Inner World. At Voctems house he stopped to take a break, waiting outside for a night before heading inside like he owned the place. He knew exactly where to press to deactivate hidden mechanisms and disable protective formations. After retrieving all the valuable objects in the home as well as a few caches of hidden valuables, Sage left and went to one of the largest settlements on the level.

Once he mastered the technique he could go there himself and have the main body retract the tree with the door on it, or he could leave it there to have a quick escape route. In fact, that was the reason that Sage intended to learn Voctems techniques. He found the creation of tortured ghosts to be abhorrent, but their creation and use was not intrinsic to the ghostwood. These two techniques could be used together, but they werent exclusive. Sage was curious to see if he could use Soul Fragments or other spirit type entities with the ghostwood. Yet, that was only secondary as the main thing he felt was useful was the secondary dimension. Unlike most Storage Treasures, which merely seemed to compact space which was then carried around, the ghostwood was in a sort of parallel place like the Realm Heart. These other dimensions didnt have to be accessed from only one location. If multiple doors were established it was possible to use them as a substitute for a Transportation Formation.

The problem was that these sort of secondary dimensions also had restrictions on them, so he had no idea how far apart each door could be formed or how many doors these things could support at once. He would have to perform some tests in order to discover the limits. He couldnt mess around with the Realm Heart because it was too powerful and also unstable, but now that he could access this ghostwood he had the chance to do some tests. Wouldnt it be nice if he could link up the Tianxia Capital with the Lang Clan? Even if it turned out that others couldnt use the door it would still be useful if he could return quickly in case of an emergency.

Sage used his boat to travel towards the Quick Ramps and resumed his climb of the tower while he studied Voctems techniques on the Inner World.
