Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

For quite a few minutes nothing happened. It was peaceful but the peace was soon shattered.

A group of beasts emerged from beneath the broken terrain without warning, their bodies fused with the land itself as if they had been born from the very ruins of war.

Their forms were twisted, their limbs uneven, and their eyes glowed with a faint, unnatural light. The moment they surfaced, they attacked without hesitation.

Rose reacted instantly.

”Prepare for battle!,” she ordered.

The group moved as one, forming a loose defensive formation as the beasts charged toward them.

The clash was brief but intense.

The beasts were not weak, but they were not beyond what the group could handle. Their strength lay in their unpredictability, in the way they emerged without warning and attacked with reckless ferocity.

However, the two groups were not weak either. They fought relentlessly against these beasts and started killing them.

Within moments, the beasts were gone.

Not slain in the traditional sense, but broken apart into fragments of energy that dissipated into the air.

”These are zombies or what?,” Max thought, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Rose glanced at him briefly, as if she knew what he had realized, but she said nothing. Instead, she simply motioned for the group to move on.

As they continued, the encounters became stranger.

There were areas they passed where the ground seemed to breathe, rising and falling ever so slightly as if something massive slumbered beneath it.

Rose instructed them to walk along a specific path, warning them not to deviate even a single step. No one questioned her.

At another point, they came across a field filled with faintly glowing fragments suspended in the air. They looked harmless, almost beautiful, drifting slowly like fireflies.

One of the members from the other group instinctively reached out, but Rose stopped him immediately, her voice sharp and commanding.

”Do not touch anything!”

She told them not to touch anything, and the firmness in her tone made it clear that this was not a suggestion but a command that had to be followed without question.

There was no room for doubt in her voice, and even those who did not understand the danger instinctively withdrew their hands.

Max could feel it as well. The fragments floating in the air were not simple energy constructs. There was something deeply wrong about them. They carried a faint distortion, something unstable that bent the surrounding space in subtle and unnatural ways.

Even standing near them caused a discomfort that seeped into his senses, as if reality itself was slightly misaligned in that area.

’I can feel very unstable concept of space from these fragments.’ Max thought as he examined them in his mind.

Without wasting time, the group moved past that region quickly, careful not to make contact with anything.

Not long after, the situation changed again.

Rose did not slow down or explain anything this time. Instead, she gave a single command.

”Everyone, run!”

Her voice was low but carried urgency that none of them could ignore. There was no explanation, no visible threat, and no time to question her. Yet every single one of them understood that whatever had triggered that command was far beyond something they could casually face.

The group did not hesitate.

They ran.

Their movements became swift and focused as they followed Rose without deviation. The air behind them seemed to shift, though none of them turned to look. But Max with his Dimensional Sovereign Body saw nothing.

He only just felt a presence.

It was massive, ancient, and overwhelmingly oppressive, unlike anything they had encountered so far. It did not feel like a beast or a cultivator. It felt like something far older, something that had existed long before them and would continue to exist long after.

However, just when they were considerable distance from their original location where they started running was when Max saw something that sent a chill down his spine.

He saw that ground beneath that area where they had been previously standing disappeared all of a sudden. Through his Dimensional Sovereign Body, he clearly saw a big black hole appeared in that region.

But that black hole disappeared as soon as it came and the situation returned to normal.

’What the hell was that?!’ Max frowned.

The two groups kept running. Nobody slowed down even a little and kept a close distance to Rose.

They ran until that presence gradually faded from their senses, until the oppressive feeling loosened its grip on them and the tremors beneath their feet ceased.

Only then did Rose finally slow her pace.

”What was that?” Lucia asked this time.

Rose shook his head. ”Nothing. Let’s continue.”

Since Rose didn’t tell them, the two groups didn’t ask anymore as they continued their journey.

But only Max knew what they were running for. Though he couldn’t understand why Rose didn’t tell them what they been running away from.

As the journey continued, they were heading closer to their destination.

They fought when they had no choice but to fight, cutting down creatures that stood in their path. They ignored things that seemed strange yet not immediately threatening, trusting Rose’s judgment without question.

And when faced with something beyond their ability to confront, they ran without hesitation.

Step by step, they moved deeper into Orion.

The world around them felt increasingly unstable, as if it did not follow the same rules they were used to. Time itself seemed uncertain, moments stretching or compressing in ways that were difficult to grasp.

Distances became unreliable, with locations appearing closer or farther than they should have been. Without Rose guiding them, it would have been impossible to tell whether they were advancing toward their destination or simply wandering aimlessly through a broken world.

After what felt like hours of careful movement, the atmosphere began to change once again.

This time, it was different.

The air did not grow heavier or suffocating.

It became unstable.

There was a subtle fracture in it, as if the very fabric of space had been disturbed.

Max felt it immediately.

His senses picked up on the distortions, faint at first but growing more noticeable with each step they took. The ground beneath them bore new kinds of scars, not the result of battles or destruction, but something far more unnatural. These were marks left by something that had torn through reality itself.

Rose slowed down as she sensed it as well.

”We are close,” she said.

Ahead of them, the land opened into a vast and uneven terrain. The space itself seemed to flicker faintly, as if it could not fully maintain its structure. It was not a visible tear yet, but the signs were undeniable.

Max’s eyes sharpened as he looked ahead.

The crack.

They had reached its vicinity.
