Chapter 788  Interrogation

Dimension collapse is a magical phenomenon when a pocket space or dimension becomes too unstable and destroyed on its own. In theory, space is like water and is very strong recoverable when a hole or crack is formed.

Any pocket space or dimension will always be under pressure from the space itself. Yet, this is a magical world where everything is possible. Throughout history, there have been countless phenomena of a new dimension created.

Even the space pouch sold in the market is a simple example of a new dimension. However, all these dimensions are like an air bubble in the middle of the ocean. A single crack or damage on it could destroy the whole dimension and its inside.

This kind of disaster is often referred to as a Dimension Collapse. It is hard to maintain the whole dimension's integrity and open its portal without damaging the entire dimension. Some dimensions even enforced certain rules and restrictions to bind themselves with the world.

A natural dimension like the current Everwhite is categorized as stable yet also fragile at the same time.

Suppose someone drops an enormous fire-based attack in this place. In that case, there is a chance the whole ice elemental that keeps the dimension frozen will be disrupted and lead to dimension collapse. Although the possibility of this happening is small, it is better for Angus and the others to not try it.

However, it is different if they are near whatever absorbs the fire elemental. The excess heat may already be absorbed before it disturbs the dimension.

"*Sigh* Fine. Even if that's true, how did you plan to protect yourself while in the middle of the battlefield? Ohh… Don't forget those Gram that eyeing your lover, brat." retorted Bornja.

"True. You should know better than us that forging requires your all, and you shouldn't be distracted even for a split second." said Kusibella from the side.

"Don't worry, I already have someone to help me at that time." said Angus mysteriously.

"Tch… You and your secret again. Fine. Just tell us what to do during the forging. So, shall we go now?" asked Kusibella.

"Yeah. Let's go. I think we should take care of our guests first." said Angus, glancing in a certain direction.

*SWISH* As soon as Angus said these words, there was movement in the nearby tundra trees. *Bang* *BOOM* A split second later, a few people are knocked over towards Angus' direction.

Angus ignored the loud noise in the distance and inspected the paralyzed people on the ground. All these people wear white clothes to camouflage better with the surrounding white snow.

While lying on the ground, Angus and the others could see a trace of a bluish lightning spark elemental to prevent these people from moving. After another few moments, Brigida emerges from the other direction while holding a few unconscious people.

"Good work, Brigida." said Angus.

"It's my honor, Master." replied Brigida respectfully with a bloodthirsty smile.

Ignoring Brigida's antics, "Hmm… As expected from the guardian, their stealth ability and spy technique are top-notch. I didn't even notice them until they were close to us." said Angus.

"Then, are we exposed?" asked Kusibella.

"Not sure. Let's ask these people first. I will leave a few moments first. Don't worry. I already cast some camouflage and cloaking spells around us. It should prevent others from noticing us." said Angus.

After that, Angus tapped the ground before a magic circle appeared above it [2nd Circle - Earth Dome]. Then, the ground starts to create a simple dome covering both Angus and spies. In the meantime, Jayna is humming softly while gently patting the sleeping Anna.

Since the last snowstorm, Anna is snuggled into her arm and falls asleep shortly after. It is pretty worrying for Jayna since this is not Anna's usual napping time. However, Angus and Jayna only find she is just normally falling asleep.

The little gluttony even muttered things like pork, meat, and other meat-based dishes in her sleep. Hence, the young couple wasn't truly worried about Anna. They are also getting used to this little troublemaker habit of sleeping during a serious situation.

Unless it is a super dangerous situation like the incoming of the winged Throne, Anna could just sleep anywhere, even in the middle of the battlefield, without care for anything. Angus came out from his little earth dome alone a few hours later.

"Sorry, some of them are quite stubborn and good at hiding things," said Angus.

There is no trace of the previous spies, both the female dwarves decide to ignore this fact and ask about what he found.

"So, did we need to run again?" asked Kusibella.

"Not necessary. These people belong to the scout that secures this snowy forest in case the Gram emerges. They also have some method to detect Gram and Cupid happens to be on their radar." said Angus.

"Although they already reported about the news of Cupid, they don't know anything about us." added Angus.

"So, they will send more people?" asked Kusibella.

"Yes, but not immediately. Since these people will no longer report to their superiors, the guardians may send someone to look at this matter. According to them, Cupid belongs to the Gram variant and is getting special attention because of his combat prowess."

"There is a huge chance the guardians will send a whole group of elite soldiers or even the sixth-grade captains like before. Though I believe they will send the sixth-grade captain since they are preparing for war." said Angus.

"This is quite troublesome. But let's move first." said Angus before glancing at Jayna.

In return, Jayna only gives a silent nod to Angus. During the interrogation, he didn't only get information about their whereabouts and spy team. He also gets a little detailed information about this Everwhite place.

According to the spies, the Everwhite Basin is a massive frozen lake with an enormous basin in the middle of it. This basin is the one that absorbs all the fire elemental in the surrounding area, even outside the frostfall territory.

The spies themselves weren't sure about how it was created. However, a myth says that a dangerous monster capable of destroying the world is sealed there.

Since the monster is too powerful, the ancestor decides to employ enormous magical seals that absorb the surrounding fire elemental in nature as the energy source. At the end of the year, the Heart Kingdom is colder than usual, resulting in less fire elemental in nature.

This change in nature weakens the seal. Although it is not weak enough to release the sealed monster, the surrounding area gets more influence under its malevolent aura. During this period, it often spawned a horde of Gram near the Everwhite Basin at once.

This is also why the guardians are preparing their arms and ready to war against these Gram, especially the variant ones. Variant Gram is unlike any other Gram. Since their birth, Variant Gram has already reached high grades and is more intelligent than others.

The Variant Gram is often capable of leading other nearby Gram, which makes them more dangerous. They are similar to Monster Overlord on the outside but much weaker. Besides this information, Angus also asked about the previous Archduke Patimura Dipo.

Unfortunately, he didn't get much information about this former Archduke because of the guardian's strict nature and his staying location.

Most of the time, the ex-Arcduke stayed near Everwhite Basin while To Angus' surprise, there are five captains in Everwhite City, who are full-fledged sixth-grade combatants. This kind of force is leaving the guardian matter to the Respected Ones and the captains. The Respected Ones are similar to an Elder position in one family or village.

While the captains are the top combat power of the guardian force. To Angus' surprise, there are five captains in Everwhite City, who are full-fledged sixth-grade combatants. This kind of force is comparable to the Heart Kingdom itself.

'No wonder King Leon said the Heart Kingdom's future should be doomed until a few years ago. It turns out there is a massive hidden force under our noses. If it is not for our recent rapid development, we may already enter another civil war.' thought Angus inwardly.

Moreover, Angus knows if the guardian is battling against the Gram horde yearly. He knows their army combat prowess may be stronger than the current Heart Kingdom's squad. Even if the Heart Kingdom has more troops, they are weaker than the Guardian army.

Hearing this information, Angus and Jayna start to get a bad impression of the guardian. Although they don't like getting involved in politics, they know how much effort King Leon and Duchess Amberblaze to keep the whole big nation safe.

Yet, these people dare to betray King Leon's trust and slowly accumulate power. Some said these powers are to protect and fight against the Gram monster. Still, five sixth-grade combatants are too much for a single faction, especially if they deliberately hide it.

If it is only one or two sixth grade, the young couple and maybe King Leon could turn a blind eye to this. But, five sixth-grade captains are similar to another seventh-grade. It is as if the guardian is waiting for an opportunity before launching another civil war like in the past.
