Using the falling blocks as pivots, he made his way towards the glowing red room. A few jumps later he was already at the edge of the room. Another step and he would be inside it, but suddenly at that time a red colored barrier appeared out of nowhere and prevented him from entering.
The appearance of the barrier was so sudden that it nearly made Kenshin fall flat. But he managed to prevent it in the end, by grabbing the edge with his right hand.
“What the hell is that?” he couldn’t help but scream in frustration while he hung like a ragdoll holding Vera with his left hand.
After some time, he suddenly remembers a skill of his that could help him in this situation. Although he had yet to test it in this kind of situation, he hoped it would help.
“Create Dungeon!” Kenshin screamed.
[Ding* You have used Create Dungeon]
[-20 MP][-20 STA]
[Please select any available background]
Stairs Floor
“Floor”
[Select the space you want it to summon]
[Warning* You can only cover up to 100 meters around you to the dungeon]
After that, a blue screen showing the image of where he was hanging appeared in front of him. There were a few measurements written below. In a hurry, Kenshin selected the highest measurements available.
Suddenly with Kenshin as the starting point, a yellow light glowed before the covering 100 meters around him. When the light faded, Kenshin saw that the scenery around him didn’t change, but a stone floor was hovering in midair covering a hundred meters around him. Seeing this, Kenshin couldn’t help but marvel at the situation. It was the same as when he tried it at home, but this time it was hovering in midair.
Gulping a mouthful of saliva, Kenshin loosened his hand that was holding onto the edge. The moment his feet touched the floor, suddenly he felt like his powers had a massive boost. This boost was so massive that he felt like he could take on that woman and probably win the fight. It was after the 500% boost that was only applicable when he enters the Ekla’s garden dungeon, but surprisingly it works this way too!
It was a welcomed surprise for him.
“Oya! You seemed to have landed yourself in some trouble!” suddenly a voice came from his behind but even without moving Kenshin knew who it was. He also knew that when he uses Create Dungeon Skill, Core could also appear if he wished.

“Really! How did you figure out?” Kenshin replied sarcastically while his white face twitched in anger. In reality, Kenshin looked very pitiful at the moment. His white face that usually glowed with vibrancy was now looking dull. His long straight hair which had some bangs poking here and there, currently half of them were semi-burned. The only thing that looked similar to before was his vibrant eyes, even his eyelashes were burned. As for his clothes, as it was made of Blood Armor Set, nothing happened to it, but black spots could be seen here and there.
It was painfully obvious that he was not right and had run into some trouble. Core also knew this and hence teased him.
“Haha!! You can’t take a joke? So, what’s the problem this time? who is that chick?” Core rapid-fire questions after questions.
“She is the leader of a mission I was undertaking. We seem to have run into those people that Roxe warned us about. They are seriously strong dammit! More importantly, this whole place was wrecked by her. Can you believe it?” Kenshin relayed everything he experienced.
After listening to everything, Core took a thoughtful pose as he pondered about the matter.
“Hmm! I don’t know if there was any connection, but recently I felt my connection to those cores here in the north had severed. I guess that those people had done the same thing as what they tried back in my dungeon. If so, then they must have some plans regarding it.” Core put forward his hypothesis.
“Are you saying that those people had caused a dungeon break in every dungeon located in the north? Are they insane? What do they accomplish by doing so?”
“I don’t know!”
“Sigh! Oh well. Wait, Core can you examine what is that barrier up there?” Kenshin asked while pointing to the glowing red room.
“No prob!” with that Core floated above and tried to enter the room, but like Kenshin faced with a barrier. And the moment his eye landed on the pentagram drawing in the walls of that room, his body began to shake as if he was standing naked in the cold.
Kenshin also noticed this weird action of his.
“What happened Core? Did you discover something?”
“Oii! Kenshin! you sure the one who attacked you are the ones Roxe told you about?” Core seemed to be unusually calm when he asked.

“Umm! Yeah. She was wearing a cloak with a burning skull logo on the back. What about it?”
“Kenshin they are bad news! They are real bad news. This damn thing is a summoning circle or probably half of it. Now I understand why they wanted to create dungeon breaks. It was probably to use you all as sacrifices. You see that pentagram diagram, it was one of the parts of a big summoning circle. They perhaps created these dungeon breaks to attract you hunters, and by gathering you all in the middle, they would activate the circle and then forcibly extract your magic and vitality to open a gate to the other world. I don’t know who are they trying to summon, judging from the scale of their operation, I am sure it must be a DemiGod level creature. Kenshin, you have to destroy this circle as soon as possible or else destruction will follow.”
“Eh! What are you talking about? who are they trying to summon?” Kenshin also became slightly pale.
“I don’t know. But I am sure that it was a DemiGod level creature. When someone surpasses Level 300, they are entitled as DemiGods by people, because their power no longer limited by mortal laws. As such, unless they restrain their powers fully, even their slightest actions could cause natural disasters. You must stop that thing to come into this world. This plane wasn’t ready to handle someone of that level.”
“Then how did you expect me to stop someone who was that level? I had my ass handed to me by only one, how did you expect me to stop the whole bunch? Besides, that barrier was stopping me from entering.” Kenshin screamed in frustration. He was also scared by the revelation.
“This barrier stops everything from entering. If we use all our powers, then I am sure we can break it.” Core said as he examined the barrier.
“Stops from entering? Wait!!” a light bulb flashed atop his head. “Core, take care of her for a second.” after saying so, he jumped up and stood in the edge. Then took a step forward very slowly, soon the barrier appeared. But at that time, Kenshin used his Opposites skill. A transparent bubble covered his body and up to one-meter radius around him. And like that, although the barrier was still present, Kenshin easily entered without any restriction.
It was the power of Opposites. As long as it was used, anything can be reversed, even if it was Univeral physic laws or magic property.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
