Chapter 1485 Mystic Space Training

Date- 13 April 2321

Time- 09:42

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital, Dual Gate dungeon 

Listening to Annaʼs words Field Marshal Heatsend let out a mental sigh and said, ʼLong ago my brother asked us who would be the ruler of the Southern Region. The popular choice was your mother but she chose you. She said you should be the next to sit on the Southern throne.ʼ

ʼGrandaunt, you just said my mother said I shouldnʼt be the next to sit on the Southern Throne. Which is it?ʼ Anna asked the Field Marshal in irritation. 

ʼGirl, the exact words your mother used were that it was too early for you to become the heir to the throne. She always thought you should be the next heir to the Southern throne but not as of now. And these past few days you have proven your mother right repeatedly about it being too early to decide if you should be the next in line to sit on the Southern throne,ʼ Field Marshal Hestsend cleared Annaʼs misconception that her mother did not want her to become the next ruler of the Southern region. 

Learning that her mother recommended her to become the next Southern Ruler, Anna was overwhelmed with joy. It was true that Anna did not care for her motherʼs approval but knowing that she had her mothersʼs approval was like a cherry on top of the cake.

ʼGrandaunt, enough with this boring training. Send in some demigods. I will show you how wrong my mother is,ʼ Anna proposed confidently.

Anna was so overwhelmed with joy that she ignored the important question, why did her grandfather name her as the next ruler of the south despite her mother saying she wasnʼt ready yet?

ʼAnna, this training is not about increasing your combat prowess, it is about helping you understand your strength. You lost to the ʼRight Eye of the Worldʼ not because you werenʼt strong enough but because you did not understand your strength. Breaking the seals in the mystic space will help you understand your strength. 

When fighting against enemies as powerful as oneself brute force will not get you anywhere. Your understanding of your strength and skills will make the difference you need to defeat your enemies,ʼ Field Marshal explained the importance of the training mystic space to Anna. 

ʼGrandaunt, how about you let me out I will fight those central government fools to understand my strength,ʼ It was as if pouring water on stone, Anna did not soak in anything the Field Marshal explained to her about her secluded training in mystic space. 

ʼNo, with your strength you will get captured, turning this situation into a hostage situation and that is exactly what they want. The central government is fully aware of my powers yet its forces have revealed their location to me. 

I believe they have revealed their location to me purposely rather than out of their foolishness. I guess they are trying to bait me into leaving the side of the dungeon gate and then have their card lord army invade the dungeon gate,ʼ Field Marshal speculated. 

ʼThen why donʼt you let me guard the dungeon and you go and uproot those buffoons?ʼ Anna suggested seeming to be hell-bent on getting out of the mystic space despite repeatedly being rejected by the Field Marshal.

ʼIt is not time yet, once your mother achieves her task it wouldnʼt be too late for me to get rid of them,ʼ to the Field Marshal her orders were clear to guard the gate of the dungeon. Therefore, no matter what Anna said or the central government forces did she did not plan to leave the side of the dungeon gate. 

ʼDamn it, grand aunt, let me out of her,ʼ Anna cussed, seeing Nothing she said would change Field Marshalʼs mind about letting her out of the mystic space. 

Just as Anna said these words, she felt an invisible force pressing her against the ground and this force was so strong that Anna could not even put up a struggle against it. The press on Anna was so strong that she felt her rib cage crack and was about to pierce her lungs. 

Anna held her breath, knowing if she expanded her lungs they would be pierced by her ribs that were almost pressing and scratching against the outside walls of her lungs. Understanding her mistake, Anna immediately said the three magic words in the politest way possible, ʼI am sorry.ʼ 

As soon as the three magic words were spoken, the invisible force pressing Anna against the ground of the mystic space disappeared partially. 

Then she heard the Field Marshal say, ʼGirl, I had enough. I am cutting your connection to the outside world, breaking the first seal before I return, or else you will learn exactly why your mother and uncle unconsciously tremble whenever they see me still today?ʼ 

With her warning, Field Marshal disconnected her mental connection with the mystic space, effectively cutting Annaʼs connection to the outside world from within the mystic space. 

The reason the Field marshal did not do this sooner was that with her connection with mystic space disconnected, she could not keep track of Annaʼs progress in her training. 

But as long as Field Marshal is mentally connected to the mystic space, Anna who was inside it could tap into Field Marshalʼs mental connection to see what was happening outside the mystic space through her senses. Thanks to this, through the Field Marshalʼs eyes Anna could see the location revealed by the central government forces. 

After cutting her connection to the mystic space Field Marshal saw 8000 card lords each wearing the same devil skull mask and a Corpse Doppelganger approach the array formation covering the dungeon gate surroundings. 

Despite the 8000 card lords being the first to approach the array formation, Corpse Doppelganger advanced as faster and was able to reach the array formation first. 

As the Corpse Doppelganger approached the array formation, Field Marshal shot a beam of soul energy at it…
