Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 260 Demiplane

"I'm Moreno Gonzalez, thank you for saving my life." The handsome knight with brown hair and black eyes half-knelt on the ground to express his gratitude to Nemesis.

After learning more about the situation, it was discovered that the man in the black octahedron was obviously the teammate that Hammerel and the other two had been looking for. The black octahedron was the so-called shadow prison. Moreno, who was trapped in it, had lost all his strength and had been struggling in the darkness for a month.

"Your teammates have also come to this demiplane, but the portal connecting to the main material plane is random, and I don't know where they are." Nemesis said lightly.

"Demiplane?" Moreno was stunned. For a mid-level professional like him who had embarked on the exemplary path, the term demiplane was not unfamiliar.

In fact, the moment Nemesis stepped into here, he realized the nature of this space.

This is a demiplane.

The so-called demiplane is actually very similar to a plane.

The multiverse is composed of more than twenty infinitely large planes, and the difference between a plane and a demiplane is that a demiplane is a measurable alien space with only finite paths, while the size of a plane is a truly infinitely expanding universe.

Some demiplanes are only a few dozen meters wide, while others are as wide as an entire galaxy.

It sounds like the description of the demiplane is somewhat similar to the crystal wall system of the main material plane, but the essence of the two is quite different.

The crystal wall system is a unit contained within the main material plane, more similar to the concept of a galaxy, while the demiplane is a state of attachment.

Assuming that each plane is an extremely huge bubble, then the half-plane is the small bubbles attached to the outside of the bubble.

Different from the Crystal Wall System, almost every plane has a demiplane. Some demiplanes are cut out from the plane by natural disasters and formed naturally, while some demiplanes are created artificially.

Creating a demiplane is a fantasy that only the most powerful wizards can accomplish, and it can only be done with legendary spells that surpass the limits of mortals.

For any intelligent creature, the demiplane is the most precious treasure, no doubt about it.

Once you master the core of a demiplane, it is like having a portable space for your use. Different demiplanes have different resources. Some demiplanes are filled with fire elements, can produce a large number of magic gems with fire attributes, and breed powerful fire element creatures. Some demiplanes are like the natural world of the main material plane, with beautiful scenery, suitable for cultivating fragile human races.

No matter what, getting a demiplane means getting an extremely convenient portable logistics base, which is the treasure that almost all adventurers dream of.

The premise is that this demiplane has no master.

"Excuse me. Do you mind if I explore this place with you before I find my companions?" Moreno asked tentatively, looking at the silent Nemesis.

As an experienced adventurer, Moreno knew that in a completely unknown environment, it was never too much to be extremely cautious. The mysterious man in front of him looked calm from beginning to end, as if he was not worried about encountering any danger at all.

This only represents one possibility - that is, the other party is very confident in his own strength.

Therefore, Moreno shamelessly wanted to follow the other party.

Nemesis glanced at him and said indifferently: "It's up to you, but I won't protect you."

Moreno waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. You saved me, so no matter what, I should be working for you."

The Phantom Horse made an impatient "Ya-yeh" sound, Nemesis grabbed the reins and continued to move towards the highest volcano. Seeing this, Moreno quickly picked up his equipment and followed. Along the way, Moreno tried to speak several times to break the silence, but all he got was silence. He rubbed his cheeks and exhaled a breath of cold air.

"Why is it getting colder?" Moreno muttered as he looked at the volcano getting closer and closer. He was extremely confused as to why it was getting colder the closer he got to the volcano.

"And..." He glanced at the man on the horse. He clearly looked like a weak spellcaster, but why didn't he seem to feel the cold?

Nemesis certainly felt the cold, but as a giant dragon, this coldness was no different from a cool breeze to him.

As they got closer to the volcano, the temperature dropped further, which made him more certain of his guess.

This is not only a demiplane filled with shadow energy, it even has some planar characteristics of the Shadowless Underworld.

Positive is negative, up is down, left is right.

In the Shadowfall, everything is similar to the main material plane, but also very different. The flames of a volcano can be cold.

Along the way, Nemesis has seen a lot of obsidian and shadow steel scattered everywhere on the ground, which means that this demiplane has very rich mineral resources of the Shadow Underworld.

"It seems that this place has been invaded by shadow energy for a long time," Nemesis thought.

As we went deeper, the zombies around us looked less and less alive. Their bodies became increasingly charred, and they were even gradually surrounded by black mist. These were all signs of their transformation into shadow creatures.

The Shadowfallen Underworld will periodically open a portal in the main material plane to lure mortals into it, and use shadow energy to transform their bodies into shadow creatures.

In fact, the most famous shadow creature is a type of true dragon called the Shadow Dragon.

Shadow dragons are not naturally formed creatures. Many powerful ancient dragons are occasionally transported silently into the Shadow Realm through portals opened in the Shadowfallen Underworld while they are sleeping. The shadow energy often erodes and transforms the dragon's body to the greatest extent while they are sleeping.

The dragons' sleep time is long, especially when they break through the age growth stage, which can often last for years or even decades. This also leads to the fact that once a real dragon is transported to the Shadowfall Underworld while sleeping, it often finds that its body has been completely shadowed when it wakes up.

These shadowed dragons are called Shadow Dragons by the world.

No matter what kind of dragon they were before the transformation, they will slowly transform when they become shadow dragons.

The scales will slowly fade to a charcoal hue, the wings will turn transparent, and the eyes will turn a dull grayish white.

They will begin to hate sunlight, and become weak from it, just like any shadow creature.

Fortunately, Nemesis is not worried about the possibility of this shadowization.

Because he possesses the Power Stone, he has great adaptability to any abnormal environment. Shadowing, a delicate project that takes several years to complete, can be made immune to it in just a few days with the Power Stone.

"Coming"

Nemesis looked at the towering volcano not far away, and a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
