Chapter 1063: Great Void Merging and Void Turning

[System Alert: You have accepted the quest <<Traces of the Silent Null Overlord>>![]

After confirming all of the details, Izroth accepted the quest. He was not the type to shy away from a challenge.

'A Realm-ranked quest will be a huge undertaking. The recommended level requirement is level 100. As of right now, no player has even come close to reaching that level. I'm only currently at level 61. As for those top guilds, even if they've focused solely on leveling up, it's highly unlikely that they've made it past level 70.'

Izroth acquired a massive amount of experience points during the event as well as a good chunk from the battle at the Night Lord's Crypt. However, Izroth never went out of his way to grind levels like those in the top guilds do. While he was surely among the highest level players in RML, there were likely those who were further ahead in level.

For one, levels were not as important for combat masters like Izroth as they were for other classes. This was due to the fact that most classes required players to reach a specific level before they could utilize certain skills.

Additionally, once a player reached level 100, they would be able to undergo their third class advancement, which would undoubtedly boost their overall power severalfold.

However, for a combat master like Izroth, no one knew what would happen since class advancements did not exist for the combat master class.

At level 50, when one was supposed to obtain their second class advancement, Izroth got the ability to create something called skill orbs.

Skill orbs were similar to skill books, but they allowed one to manipulate the overall power of a skill and transform it into a growth-type skill.

Needless to say, Izroth believed that there was something for combat masters once they reached level 100. However, the sense of urgency was different since a combat master's level did not necessarily correlate to their strength and vice versa.

'Fortunately, as long as the three-to-one time ratio doesn't change, that means there are still one and a half years left to prepare.'

At the moment, every three days in RML was equivalent to one day spent in the real world. This meant that the four and a half years time limit was actually one and a half years. After all, no matter how devoted players were to RML and how much they pushed themselves, sleeping, eating, and even working for those who were not playing professionally—it was all a necessity.

'One and a half years is not a lot of time. If we approach this quest half-hearted and unprepared, we won't even make it past the first objective. I'll have to give some serious thought to who will be participating. After all, I plan on filling all 239 slots.'

Of course, Izroth already reserved spots for every last one of his guild members and a few other individuals he had in mind.

'I'll figure out the exact details later. For now...'

Izroth closed out the quest information as he shifted his attention to the Unburdened Null Beast Statue.

'I have to start working on a way out of here.'

The Unburdened Null Beast Statue was damaged; however, Izroth knew that this was not due to him suppressing it. It was not wrong to say that if not for its damaged state, even he would have had a considerably tougher time dealing with it.

Without a doubt, it had long since been damaged by someone or something. Whatever the case, Izroth considered it to be his fortune.

In the end, the Unburdened Null Beast Statue was an Artifact-ranked magic item. It was nothing something that could be destroyed by ordinary means.

'I've finally obtained an item that can hold the Law of Void. With this, I now have a reliable way of making steady progress with the Boundless Emperor Void Perfection.'

[System Alert: Warning! You have arrived at this location through a forceful method! Are you sure you wish to log out from your current location? You will receive a heavy penalty if you log out now![]

'As I thought, it hasn't changed.'

Izroth brought up the logout option only to be greeted by the same message he received during his initial arrival at The Void.

Seeing as his communications were down in-game, Izroth figured that the smartest thing to do would be to contact someone in the real world. However, the system was not so lenient. If he wanted to log out, he would have to pay a certain price, which may not necessarily be worth

it.

"Although there is a good chance that Halls and Guan Yu made it back safely, I still have no idea what is going on outside of this place. Our forces should be withdrawing since we accomplished our objective in the Night Lord's Crypt of stopping the Night Lord's revival. Unfortunately, communications are restricted in The Void, and if I attempt to log out while still trapped here, I will receive a heavy penalty. I will just have to trust that those guys managed to handle things properly on their end."

Izroth took a meditative pose on the ground and set the Unburdened Null Beast Statue in front of him.

'I'm not sure how long it will take to learn the Great Void Merging and Void Turning, but the progress should be much faster since I'm inside of The Void itself. I have to take advantage of every moment and quickly return to the Mortal Realm.'

Izroth closed his eyes and held the palm of his hand open before the Unburdened Null Beast Statue. The moment he did so, the statue violently trembled and released a noise that resembled the light growl of a lurking beast.

At the same time, waves of void energy similar to what Izroth faced when he first came upon the statue rushed toward his position. This time, however, there were no signs of an unknown force attempting to drive him away. Instead, the void energy shot into the statue and lingered within for less than half a breath of time.

Immediately after doing so, the void energy was expelled from the statue and flowed directly into Izroth.

[System Alert: Your efficiency with the skill <<Boundless Emperor Void Perfection>> has increased.

[System Alert: Your efficiency with the skill <<Boundless Emperor Void Perfection>> has

increased.

[System Alert: Your efficiency....

As time went by, Izroth repeated the process of drawing in and absorbing void energy hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times. He concentrated solely on sensing The Void itself. It was everywhere yet nowhere-nothing, yet everything. Such a paradoxical concept was difficult for even cultivators of the Seven Realms to grasp, let alone mortals. [System Alert: Your skill level with <<Boundless Emperor Void Perfection>> has increased.

When the alert sounded, Izroth opened his eyes. The Unburdened Null Beast Statue stopped trembling, and the void energy around him became calm.

For a brief moment, a mysterious aura flashed through Izroth's eyes that held a bottomless depth before dissipating without a trace.

Izroth waved his hand over the statue and placed it into his inventory. He then stood to his feet and peered off into the endless void.

'It took longer than I expected, but... I finally obtained it.'

A full week in-game had passed since Izroth first entered The Void and set his full attention on making progress with the Boundless Emperor Void Perfection. Every few hours or so, he got up and carved into his body the feeling of The Void and the techniques revolving around the Boundless Emperor Void Perfection. After doing so, Izroth would return his focus to absorbing the void energy in his surroundings along with what was being pulled in by the Unburdened Null Beast Statue.

As a result of his efforts, Izroth was not disappointed.
