Chapter 80: Dimensional Travel Ends, Return
6 min read1,619 words
It must be said that Li Ge learned from Amid that the magic effect capable of supporting an entire battlefield by a single person was indeed astonishing. Even after Ais had fought for over an hour, being beaten up by the floor boss Udeos, with this magic, Li Ge still managed to restore her to her original state in less than a minute.
Such a remarkable recovery effect would be impossible even for the "Battlefield Saint" herself to achieve.
Who could blame her for being only a 2?
The same magic, when used by a 2, and when used by a 5, naturally has a difference.
Li Ge's "Magic Power" parameter is also super-standard. The "Dia Flatter" he cast is incomparable to what Amid cast.
Therefore, Ais quickly recovered, with only her mental energy slightly lacking, making her look a bit tired.
But this was enough.
As long as Ais didn't use magic, she should still be able to fight at full strength.
Thus,
"What?" Ais looked at Li Ge in surprise and said, "You're not going back with me?"
"Yes." Li Ge nodded.
Indeed, Li Ge did not plan to go back with Ais.
Or rather, he no longer had the time to go back with Ais.
To chase Ais, Li Ge spent a day and a half, using up the last bit of time he had.
Li Ge could feel the dimensional cube in his mind slowly rotating, seemingly about to open.
In this case, Li Ge couldn't go back with Ais.
However, Ais didn't know this.
"Is there something you need to do?"
Ais looked at Li Ge, seemingly preparing to stay with him.
But Li Ge shook his head.
"I do have something to do, and it's a big thing," Li Ge said to Ais. "Since your matter is resolved, I'm going to leave now."
The meaning of these words was clear even to someone as slow as Ais.
Li Ge's departure meant he wouldn't be back for a while.
"I've already told Loki, and I was planning to tell you all later, but now it's probably too late," Li Ge smiled at Ais and said, "You can tell Loki that I've set off."
Ais fell silent.
"Go on." Li Ge, feeling the time was short, urged her slightly. "Leviaria is on her way to find you. If you head back now, you'll meet her soon."
Hearing this, Ais looked deeply at Li Ge.
Li Ge looked back, still smiling.
They stared at each other for a moment, and then Ais nodded.
"I'll wait for you at home."
Ais said this in a rare gentle voice.
This made Li Ge's eyes widen slightly, and his smile became more genuine.
"I also congratulate you in advance on your upgrade."
Li Ge responded.
This time, Ais would likely upgrade.
Then, Ais would be a 6, and her strength might once again surpass Li Ge's.
"I'll catch up to you soon."
Li Ge said this with a fearless expression.
"I'll wait for you."
Ais looked at Li Ge quietly for a moment before speaking.
"Go on."
Li Ge said to Ais.
"Okay."
Ais took several steps back, her gaze still on Li Ge.
Then, as if letting go of something, she turned and ran away.
Li Ge watched Ais leave until he could no longer see her back. Then, the transparent cube in his mind began to rotate.
"Time limit countdown to zero, this dimensional travel is about to end, starting the inspection."
"Detected that the user possesses this world's unique power, can return with the consciousness."
"Detected that the user carries this world's unique items, if you need to bring them back, it can be done by consuming energy."
"List of unique items has been compiled, please select."
With this thought, a list appeared in Li Ge's mind that no one else could see.
"1: Loki's divine blood (70)"
"2: Fool's Sword (5)"
"3: Hermit's Sword (2)"
"4: Battle suit (1)"
"5: Universal Elixir (1)"
"6: "
This was the list of all the items Li Ge had on him.
Some items were on Li Ge, such as the Fool's and Hermit's Swords, while others were in the dimensional cube's storage space, like the Universal Elixir and spare battle suit that Li Ge prepared for emergencies.
Now, the dimensional cube had detected these items, listed them, and provided Li Ge with the option to choose.
Article 5 of the "Dimensional Cube User Manual": When carrying items for dimensional travel, energy must be consumed based on the value of the items.
According to this rule, if Li Ge wanted to bring the corresponding items back to the original world, he would need to consume the energy of the dimensional cube.
After this energy consumption, the items Li Ge chose would be assimilated by the dimensional cube, allowing them to travel with Li Ge through dimensions.
At that time, these items could either return to the original world with Li Ge or travel to other worlds with him, without any restrictions.
Once assimilated, the items Li Ge chose could always travel through dimensions without further energy consumption.
As for the power, it was not as complicated. As the manual stated, it would return with Li Ge's consciousness, without consuming energy.
Thus, Li Ge checked the current energy of the dimensional cube.
"Dimensional Energy: 100"
The dimensional cube can automatically draw energy from each dimension, storing enough for a month to perform a dimensional travel.
The cube draws 1 unit of energy per day, so a month's worth is 30 units.
In other words, a single dimensional travel requires 30 units of energy. If a specific world is targeted, it would require ten times the energy, i.e., 300 units.
Li Ge stayed in this world for 100 days, and the dimensional cube drew energy for 100 days, so the current energy is 100 units, exactly enough.
At first, Li Ge thought the energy units drawn by the dimensional cube were based on the time in the original world. Only after coming to this world did he realize that the energy drawn by the dimensional cube is proportional to the time Li Ge spends in the real world.
After all, energy in dimensions is ubiquitous. The original world is a dimensional world, and this world is also a dimensional world, with no difference between them.
In this situation, Li Ge almost immediately chose the items he needed to bring back.
First, Loki's divine blood.
This was something Li Ge asked for from Loki after knowing he was about to leave.
After leaving this world, if Li Ge wanted to update his ability values, he would have to do it himself, without Loki's help. Therefore, Li Ge needed the divine blood, a necessary medium for updating ability values, to avoid stagnation in his growth after leaving this world.
Thus, Li Ge asked Loki for a small bottle of divine blood, which made Loki groan and almost ascend to heaven on the spot.
With this bottle of divine blood, Li Ge could update his ability values hundreds of times.
So, this bottle of divine blood was definitely necessary to bring back.
It must be said that divine blood is truly expensive. The other items only required single-digit units of energy, with the Fool's Sword needing only 5 units of dimensional energy. However, this bottle of divine blood required a full 70 units of dimensional energy, which was quite a rip-off.
But there was no choice. After all, this was the blood of a god, and its high cost was justified. For his growth and future, Li Ge had to accept it.
Next, the Fool's Sword and Hermit's Sword were also necessary to bring back.
These were non-degradable weapons, the most suitable for Li Ge. Especially the Fool's Sword, which was incredibly sharp, light, and easy to use, with a very low weight, allowing Li Ge to maximize the "light equipment" effect, enhancing his "agility" and "dexterity." Li Ge definitely needed to bring them.
The rest were not as important.
The battle suit was just a durable piece of clothing Li Ge bought, with nothing special about it. If not for the minimum energy consumption of 1 unit, it wouldn't be worth it.
The Universal Elixir was worth 1 unit of dimensional energy, being the most effective medicine in this world. As long as the injury wasn't fatal or a limb wasn't severed, it could heal quickly. Spending 1 unit of energy to bring it back was definitely not a loss.
If Li Ge hadn't learned the high-level healing magic "Dia Flatter," he would likely have brought some back.
Unfortunately, Li Ge had already learned a more powerful magic, making the Universal Elixir redundant.
The rest were just miscellaneous items, either magic stones, various medicines, or food and water, none of which were worth the energy to bring back to the original world.
In summary,
"A bottle of divine blood, two weapons, these are all the items I need to bring back."
Li Ge quickly made his choices.
"Loki's divine blood (70)"
"Fool's Sword (5)"
"Hermit's Sword (2)"
Three items, consuming a total of 77 units of dimensional energy.
"Dimensional Energy: 23"
After confirming his remaining energy, Li Ge finished the operation.
"Selection complete, starting execution."
"Item assimilation successful."
"Dimensional travel ends, starting return."
Li Ge's body instantly dissipated, seemingly vanishing into thin air.
Li Ge's consciousness was drawn into the dimensional cube in his mind, entering the dimensional channel and heading back to the original world.
The 37th floor of the dungeon returned to silence.
