Not even half an hour passed before Nial came back to the city. Blood dripped to the ground next to him.
However, it was obviously not his own blood. The Minotaur Demihuman slumped to the ground next to him. He was unconscious, tied down by a multitude of darkness vines and he was bleeding from various shallow cuts all over his body.
"I am done. Can we leave him here, or is it necessary to bring him somewhere?" Nial asked the Grand Elder, who shrugged his shoulders.
"I sent a report to security, explaining the situation. Everything was recorded thoroughly, so there won't be a problem for us. Let's just go."
Nial was glad that the Grand Elder didn't make things more complicated. On the contrary, the Grand Elder was pretty helpful. He lead Nial into the V.I.P. section of the huge spaceship they would use to travel to the planet that was the closest to the Meteorfield. That made things a lot easier.
He was given a place for himself, a small room where the Mana of outer space could be let through. It was necessary for him to be at the Mythician rank to survive in this room, but that was no problem for Nial.
"Can I spread out my dark energy along the surface of the spaceship, or will that cause problems?" Nial asked, to make sure that he wouldn't break anything, which may result in the death of a bunch of people he wanted to avoid killing by accident.
"As long as your dark energy doesn't interfere in the mechanism of the space ship you will be fine. But to make sure that were won't be a problem, can you show me what you actually mean before we're in the open space?" The Grand Elder said to which Nial nodded his head.
He spread out his darkness domain at once, covering the vast majority of the spaceship in an instant. All mana of the outer space was naturally absorbed from his darkness domain and it was no problem for him to exert the Vortex of Abyss cultivation technique to create suctioning forces through his darkness domain.
The Grand Elder was stupefied for a moment, which he tried to hide by clearing his throat thrice.
"Is that all, or do you want to do anything else while we're traveling through space?" He asked, hoping that there wouldn't be anything. However, now that Nial was already asked, he exerted the highest form of the Vortex of Abyss cultivation technique while further spreading out his darkness domain, mantling the entire spaceship.
The Grand Elder noticed that the entire mana in a radius of several kilometers was drained and pulled inside the mass of darkness that mantled the spaceship as if it was a second protective layer.
He stared at Nial for a few seconds and scratched the back of his head. Only VIPs were able to use the Space-Cultivation rooms, and the Grand Elder was currently the only VIP on board.
"I will ask the Captain, but there shouldn't be an issue as long as you can free the windows, engine, and some other spots from your mantle of darkness," The Grand Elder said after a while before he started with a short call. There were quite a few things he had to take into consideration but none of them had to be worried about as long as the space chip's Captain gave Nial his permission.
It was only obvious, but the Captain didn't like the idea of allowing Nial to do whatever he wanted on the surface of the spaceship. However, upon receiving a report that stated various improvements to the durability, and stability of the spaceship, the Captain's entire attitude changed completely. Nial's darkness domain prevented any pressure from space traveling to have an impact on the spaceship. This also meant that they wouldn't have to travel three years through space. They could actually accelerate and finish their entire trip in merely two years!
The Grand Elder didn't really believe the Captain but the reports made by the analysts and the attitude of that particular Captain could hardly be a lie.
"Alright, you can use your darkness mantle, or whatever you call it," The Grand Elder told Nial, who smiled lightly in response. Afterward, nothing much happened. They were given a rough explanation of the situation, how space traveling worked, what to pay attention to, and many more necessities that had to be taken care of before the Captain would start the engine and initiate the being of their journey through space.
Nial never thought that he would end up in a spaceship traveling through space. He always presumed that space traveling would be consistent with jumping through worldbridges and jumping through space. At least that was how it had been before. Things changed quite a bit now that he was in the unknown parts of the Universe.
Nial expected that something grand would happen upon shooting into the air or while traveling through space. However, none of that was interesting for him.
He felt a pull to the ground when the spaceship shot into the air. The gravitational force seemed to increase manyfold over the next few minutes, only to disappear completely once they arrived in space. Nial focused on his darkness domain and the fully unleashed Vortex of Abyss cultivation technique.
Nial told himself to finish one Darkness Temple on his way to the Meteorfield. It ought to take three years, which would be quite stressful but still possible to finish a Darkness Temple. His proficiency with the creation of Darkness Temples was pretty decent and Nial was pretty sure that he could absorb enough pure mana to convert it into a Darkness Temple after altering it into dark energy.
Two years was a tad less than the three years he expected, but it was a challenge he was ready to attempt.
