Chapter 252: I Don't Seem to Have Come at the Right Time

The mental power, which was far more resilient and larger in capacity than mages of the same level, was like a flood after the gate was opened, surging continuously from the void.

Weirouer's consciousness was dazed, only feeling her whole body floating in the water, without the slightest sense of being supported.

In front of her was the boundless darkness dotted with countless dazzling light spots, and in the corner of her eye, the huge outline of the Star Fall Continent was vaguely reflected.

"Astral Plane..."

She whispered in her heart.

She was still far from the legendary level before rebirth, and she herself was just an academic-school mage who spent her life dealing with various experimental equipment, so naturally she had never come into contact with this mysterious territory that had appeared countless times in her mentor's mouth, which contained countless rare and precious treasure materials and was vast and boundless.

Yet she didn't expect that after rebirth, she hadn't even stepped onto the path of Transcendence, and had only reached level 3 according to the plan, and she was lucky enough to set foot in this mysterious plane located outside the material plane.

Weirouer was very interested in taking advantage of this moment to carry forward her scientific research spirit and find some things in the Astral Plane for in-depth research.

It was a pity that being able to briefly leave the material plane to come here was already the limit of what this trump card she had picked up from the long river of time, named 【Weirouer's Other-Dimensional Banishment】, could do.

To move freely, she had to wait until she had her own mage tower in the future, or make sufficient preparations to resist the various deadly radiation and dangerous enemies filled in the Astral Plane.

Right now, she could only float here, waiting quietly.

Waiting for the spell to use the special environment of the Astral Plane itself, which was loose and connected to various planes, to completely banish that Hong Long, and then teleport herself as the spellcaster back to the material plane.

Deep in her mind, accompanied by one of the few trump cards she had that were enough to reverse most of the desperate situations she could encounter being completely consumed.

Weirouer's mental power was also completely drained.

The roar of the giant dragon filled with anger in her perception disappeared into the depths of the boundless darkness.

She only felt incomparably dizzy in her brain, as if the whole world in front of her was spinning.

Unprecedented weakness erupted from all parts of her body.

She hadn't even had time to carefully experience the mystery of time-space travel before the ground under her feet, which was originally empty, sent the real feeling of the earth.

"Back."

Weirouer whispered in her heart.

Her legs suddenly went soft, and her body, which was overdrawn, almost collapsed.

"Hiss."

The clean magic staff, which was made of gray-white marble, sank deeply into the wet soil, and mud splashed on the staff body.

Supporting the magic staff with trembling hands, she used this magic equipment that could buy an entire street in a remote small town as a crutch.

Only then did Weirouer barely avoid collapsing completely and rolling into the mud water in a mess.

Of course, getting rained on was unavoidable.

Right now, with her state, she couldn't care about so much.

Just after being teleported back, her clothes and hair were already shrouded by the rainstorm.

Enduring the dizzying feeling churning in her brain, she used her willpower to forcefully support her consciousness so she wouldn't faint on the spot.

Weirouer looked forward.

What came into view was only empty space.

Vaguely, she could only see some footprints on the mud that were gradually fading under the washing of the rain.

At this moment, even though she had expectations in her heart, Weirouer's amber eyes still couldn't stop showing a bit of disappointment.

Before casting the spell, she had instructed her few teammates not to leave temporarily.

And explained to them the time that might be needed for spellcasting, in the hope that a few people could take care of each other after she returned.

Right now, there was still a long time before the thirty minutes agreed upon before.

And the empty field... had already indicated their choice.

It was understandable; she was originally a team member who joined the team temporarily, and she even used some side-door methods for this, and it was a fact that she had no friendship with several teammates.

And honestly speaking, facing such an adult Hong Long whose dragon breath alone was enough to burn people to ashes, if it were her, out of the perspective of saving her life, it would be impossible to stay in place for long.

After all, if the banishment failed, the one returning to the material plane would not be the spellcaster, but that Hong Long... staying in place was waiting for death.

Starting from the rational survival instinct, leaving was the most correct choice.

Weirouer comforted herself like this in her heart.

But her brain was getting more and more dizzy, as if she would faint and collapse in the next second.

And just at this time.

A pungent bloody smell suddenly poured into her nasal cavity along with the air washed by the rain.

Making her whole person suddenly startled, and even her originally withered spirit was slightly cheered up.

Turning her head, she looked subconsciously in the direction where the bloody smell came from behind her.

Appearing in her line of sight was a familiar figure lying on the ground motionless, with the blood water flowing from the wound soaking the mud underneath.

"Sawa!?"

Weirouer exclaimed.

Staggering forward.

She didn't even need to check carefully; that hideous wound that pierced her neck from behind and could even see the grass below had already indicated her identity as a "corpse."

She hadn't even had time to find out the truth about the opportunity that made her strength soar.

The girl's main goal for joining the team, the "big shot" who would stir up trouble in the entire Pan Yun Province in the future, one of the most vicious traitors on the alliance battle line...

Just died like this?

For a time, the powerful impact made Weirouer appear somewhat at a loss.

Her first reaction was not to think about what the escort team encountered after she left; nor did she go to find other teammates who were still alive around her, or guard against possible enemies.

But concentrated the last bit of attention, connected to the invisible tributary of the long river of time deep in the void, and checked the deviation rate of the world line development right now.

In order to avoid the Star Fall Continent from falling into the endless disaster of different-degree fusion like in the previous life as much as possible, "world line deviation rate" was the most important and only goal after her rebirth.

Dragonborn Sawa was the first target Weirouer planned to clear that could bring about world line changes.

According to her expectation, as a sinner who suddenly betrayed in the previous life and caused an entire resistance line to collapse, Sawa's death should at least bring a 0.05% deviation rate.

Now, although it was not her own hand, it was a fact that the other party died ahead of schedule, and the world line should also have changed.

"Don't need 0.05%, 0.03 or even 0.02, I can accept it."

Praying like this in her heart, Weirouer, whose intention touched the long river of time, suddenly froze in place.

"How... how is it possible?"

"0.3% deviation rate!?"

That was almost six times her expected value!

"Why?"

"Where did that extra 0.25% come from?"

Accompanied by the first surprise after rebirth, was the huge doubt from the unknown.

0.3%, although it still looked very small, not even half of one percent, but if one knew that this percentage was based on the main axis of an entire timeline, an entire future Star Fall Continent.

One could realize the huge changes represented within it.

Even in Weirouer's plan, she had to wait until she reached at least level 7 in the future and could use the middle-ring spells memorized in the spell table daily before she would start to carry out actions with a deviation rate after the decimal point of the percentage in detail.

But now, it was clearly just her first attempt at a plan used for testing the waters after rebirth, yet it brought such a big gain...

After

Her cheeks appeared deathly pale due to the exhaustion of her mental power; she leaned on her staff with both hands, her chestnut ponytail swaying in the air along with her head.

Weiruisi urgently wanted to find the source that had caused the timeline to change so drastically.

Immediately, a long, drawn-out wolf howl from not far ahead, behind a small hill, caught her attention.

Gritting her teeth, she moved her body slowly and cautiously in the direction the sound had come from.

At the same time, she casually took a small bottle of blue potion from her waist pouch and tilted her head back to gulp it down.

Even though her head felt as if it were being pierced by thousands of needles, she still forcibly stirred her mental power to touch the crystal at the tip of the staff in her palm, completing her defenses while also preparing to reveal another trump card.

One step, one step.
