Chapter 100 Entering the Unknown
Roland felt as if he were about to turn into light and disappear!

In the dimly lit room, he sat quietly cross-legged on the bed, his body beginning to glow from within, like a flame spreading from the depths of his life, blood, and soul, until it illuminated every inch of his skin.

He was glowing, and the blood vessels, bones, and internal organs under his skin were clearly visible.

Without pain, my five senses became more acute, as if I were no longer separated from this world. In a daze, I felt a sense of liberation, as if all my ailments had been cured. I felt light and free, like the wind, clouds, and birds.

The rune seed fell into the depths of his soul, becoming one with his life, its rhythm triggering waves of resonance.

Suddenly, a familiar suction force descended from nowhere, pulling his body through space and into an unknown dimension.

In a daze, he saw a figure push open the door and enter. Their eyes met, and they remained silent.

Complete darkness enveloped him; Roland could sense nothing but his body. A sudden realization dawned on him: he needed to choose a place to go.

The sea of ​​consciousness, the dark side of the world, the realm of fantasy.

The other two were too unfamiliar, so he subconsciously chose the more familiar spirit world.

The next moment, a bizarre and fantastical scene unfolded before his eyes, and a chessboard appeared in his senses. At this moment, even the maddening murmurs and delirious thoughts sounded incredibly beautiful.

A moment later, he fell into the bubble, and Drake, Mandy, and the others rushed over, looking concerned.

'A physical body entering the spirit world?!'

Roland lowered his head, his body enveloped in a faint glow, which prevented him from being exposed. His body under the glow was real and distinct from a spirit.

He took a few deep breaths, but what he inhaled was not air, but a strange substance mixed with spiritual energy. A flash of light burned away all the impurities.

'This is what it means to "enter the unknown"—truly wondrous.'

There's also the sea of ​​consciousness and the dark side of the world. I wonder what's unique about it, and whether there are any dangers.
Entering the unknown has a dual meaning: one is entering an unknown dimension, and the other is entering something hidden, difficult to detect, track, and locate.

In other words, even if the enemy knows he's in the spirit world, they won't be able to find him. Combined with the chessboard's concealment capabilities, this should be enough to handle most dangers.

The Rune Seed has truly merged with him, and his body has definitely undergone significant changes, which should have some impact on the Extraordinary Path, although it is not yet very apparent.

'How are Evan and the others?'

Roland was getting anxious. He was worried that if the other person couldn't find him, they would take their anger out on the people around them.

He focused his attention on sensing the golden mediums: one in Glacier Town and three in Grantham.

Evan and his companions appeared in his perception, all in good condition. The surrounding scenery was blurry, but he could vaguely make out that it was the lounge area of ​​the hotel lobby, and there were many people around.

Percy was also there, chatting enthusiastically with Evan and the others, which indirectly eased their anxiety and worries.

'Is the Seventh Apostle so easy to talk to?' Roland was puzzled.

…………

Grantham, above.

"Get out here!" Suleiman roared in fury, his voice echoing across the surrounding area.

Strangely, the ordinary people in the city seemed oblivious, but only the extraordinary ones had ringing ears and heard it clearly.

Countless transparent threads extended from Suleiman's body and disappeared into the surrounding void, but only a trace of residual spiritual fluctuations could be detected; the Seventh Apostle was nowhere to be found.

Minutes earlier, Suleiman had noticed that the mark of destiny on Roland had suddenly collapsed, and he was horrified.

But by the time he arrived, it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as the Seventh Apostle disappeared, relying on his memories to travel through time, and even he could hardly track him down.

"The Seventh Authority!"

Suleiman squeezed out the name through gritted teeth, one word at a time.

The Northern Merchant Guild has never interfered in church disputes, but it never expected to be so humiliated. Not only did they choose to cause trouble in the North, but a high-sequence extraordinary individual even went so far as to kill people, which was simply a blatant disregard for the dignity of the people of the North.

He turned around and appeared out of thin air in Roland's room.

There was no blood, no body, the backpack and suitcase were still there, and several teenagers were chatting downstairs, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Ugh--"

Countless threads danced and intertwined, and in an instant, the room was as empty as before.

Roland was unaware of what was happening outside, but he dared not go out easily and could only check on Evan and the others every now and then.

He picked up the Eye of Pro and said with emotion, "Thank you for reminding me, but I can't let you leave."

That little box can't hold Pro at all. If it gets out and talks nonsense, his secret will be exposed.

"..." Pro stared wide-eyed at him, scrutinizing him. "Entering the spirit world with your physical body is something most high-sequence extraordinary beings can't do. How did you manage it?"

"It seems that achieving the unity of the three sexes is quite difficult." Of course, Roland wouldn't tell it, deliberately changing the subject, "Isn't it said that high-sequence extraordinary individuals don't act easily?"

"There is such an unspoken rule. Once they make a move, the situation could easily get out of control, but who can really restrain them? Only a fool would believe that," Pro scoffed.

Roland stroked his chin, looking dejected: "It seems that Big Mouth has touched a nerve with them."

"Big mouth...use it with caution. For those clandestine methods, doing this is tantamount to undermining their foundation," Pro warned.

The night was long, and Evan and his friends were still in the lobby. Only they and the Percy siblings were in the rest area.

Bosie was a smart man and had already sensed something was wrong. After several unsuccessful attempts to probe, he quietly went to Roland's room and knocked on the door. After confirming that no one was inside, he silently returned to the lobby.

Seeing this, Roland felt relieved. The other party hadn't made any move, probably because they didn't take ordinary people seriously. Evan and the others should be safe.

'How do I get out?' After calming down, he began to think about his own problems.

The moment the thought arose, the Seed of Runes trembled slightly, and the light on his body intensified, giving him a sense of freedom to go wherever he wanted.

Roland understood: the Rune Seed could take him away at any time, and the chessboard could provide additional assistance and protection, but only in the spirit world.

He focused intently on sensing the numerous mediums of the real world, and a very bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

The way you enter must be the way you exit, because the soul must return to the body.

Now things are different. You can leave the spirit world from anywhere you want. To avoid accidents, it's safer to return to the original location or return via a positioning medium.

He stood at the edge of the chessboard, took a deep breath, and leaped into the air like a shooting star with a trail of flame, plunging into the endless sky and disappearing as a point of starlight at a certain moment.

Glacier Town.

In a dimly lit room, a faint halo of light appeared, resembling a human figure. When the light faded, a naked man was revealed.

The man sleeping soundly on the bed turned over, revealing a scruffy, old face—none other than Luke.

He wore a black rope pendant around his neck, the pendant wrapped in black cloth and inconspicuous, but Roland knew it was the divine metal that he had given him.

"You succeeded, but the distance was too close, making you easy to spot. You need more practice."

Being completely naked is especially unsightly; it seems I need to search for a magical item, like clothing. The [Hidden Veil] is too inadequate to bring into the spirit world.

The next moment, a faint glow emanated from his body, and he took a step forward, entering the unknown.

Back on the chessboard, Roland paced back and forth excitedly. Sure enough, there were no useless abilities; it all depended on whether he could develop them.

'This is interspatial teleportation!'

He refused to believe that the Seventh Authority could still find him. As a veteran high-sequence extraordinary being, Suleiman's sensing range, even with the help of the Mark of Fate, was only limited to the three counties.

Given enough media, he could even travel the entire continent of Alavia in a single day.

He's always running around with his "big mouth" around, trying to disgust them even if he can't beat them, and see who laughs last!
'View my properties.'

【罗兰，生命：923/923 + 150/150，灵性：421/462，强度：265，伤害增幅：20%】

Life increased by 112, of which 60 came from [Entering the Unknown], and the rest should be the effects of Bloodline Sublimation and Vigorous Appetite.

Spirituality increased by 30, strength increased by 80. Damage amplification increased by 1%, likely a result of the enhanced appetite.

All bloodline abilities were strengthened again, albeit slightly, but these small changes added up and eventually led to a qualitative leap.
