Chapter 1012: Main or Elemental Dimension?
'If I rush things, I might get an opportunity to save him in time, but that's not what he would want. He would want our plan to succeed.''Trying to help him is the one thing that won't help him.'
'I'm sorry, Manny,' Kyle thought as he looked upward. 'I don't want to sacrifice you. I wish there were another way, but...'
'I just can't see it.'
'Maybe you even want me to forget you so that I can focus on the mission. I'm sorry, but I can't do that.'
Kyle stood up.
'But I also won't waste more time,' he thought as he looked towards the east. 'I will keep going forward. I will keep working, and I will give my everything to this mission!'
'Ayuvar must be saved! This is my home, and maybe it was also your home.'
'I'll not disappoint you, Manny!'
Kyle's mind focused on the plan again, and moments later, the Demon Car resumed its travels towards the east.
After some years, Kyle noticed that the journey became a bit more perilous. The reason was that almost all Demons around him were at the higher levels of the Primal Realm. The Demon Car was a Peak Primal since it was only comprised of Level Three Elements.
The Demons around Kyle became increasingly more aggressive. They could see that the Demon Car was a Peak Primal, and many of them had already tried to kill him.
Yet, one also had to remember that the Demon Car wasn't a Demon. It was an Elemental, and an Elemental didn't have as much power as a Demon in the same Realm... usually.
Luckily, even though the Demon Car was an Elemental, it was also a unique Elemental. The power of an Elemental scaled with the mass of its Energy, up to a maximum dictated by the Elements it was made of. An Elemental made of Minor Fire could become a Peak Primal. It could never become an Initial Crusher since Minor Fire couldn't contain that much Energy.
Yet, Kyle's Elemental was made of eight Minor Elements, and all of these Elements supported a certain amount of Energy. This meant that the Demon Car had eight times the Energy of a normal Elemental in his Realm.
This technically put the level of Energy of his Elemental on the same level as an Early Crusher Elemental. However, one couldn't forget that these Elementals were made of Level Four Laws, not Level Three Laws. The quality of their Energy was much higher. Metaphorically, the Demon Car was eight kilos of wood, while an Early Crusher Elemental was eight kilos of gasoline. They had the same mass, but one had significantly more Energy than the other.
In reality, this meant that the Demon Car had the power of an Initial Crusher Elemental while still being a Primal Elemental, but one also had to remember that Elementals were weaker than Demons. So, in short, the Demon Car was just as powerful as a Peak Primal Demon.
As Kyle evaded yet another wave of Demons, he looked around. 'According to my Elemental's Realm, this would be the perfect place to become stronger. Unfortunately...'
Kyle looked at the Law Wells around him.
The vast majority of them were Law Wells for Minor Elements, but there were also some Law Wells for Yin-Elements.
There was not a single Law Well for Gravity Elements.
'Weak Primal Demons still look at Level Two laws. Strong Primal Demons start looking at Level Three Laws. Weak Crusher Demons still look at Level Three Laws...'
'Only strong Crusher Demons look at Level Four Laws.'
'If I want to look at Level Four Laws, I need to go to the places where strong Crusher Demons are, but my Demon Car is only a Peak Primal.'
'I can't fight for the Demon Car since leaving it will expose me. The only thing I can do is to control it with my mind. To me, my enemies are moving so slowly that a battle might as well be turn-based for me. The problem is that the Demon Car is too slow and weak. I get almost infinite time for my turn, but my opponents have a short time for five turns or something like that. I can plan, but I have limited resources. They have a lot of resources, but they can't plan.'
'I'm not sure if I can jump an entire Realm.'
Kyle sighed. 'But what else am I supposed to do? I need the Level Four Elements.'
'Technically, I could risk it and go to the Elemental Dimension, but that's very dangerous. Both my Elemental and I count as Elementals and humans. We can travel back and forth between the Elemental Dimension and the Main Dimension.'
'But there's a problem. If both of us go to the Elemental Dimension, we can level up with relative ease, but if we want to go back, we would have to do so blindly. We might appear anywhere, and we can't be sure that nobody will notice us when we get back.'
'If my Demon Car goes by itself, my human body will be exposed, and I will die.'
'If I go by myself, there will also be problems. My Demon Car can turn its body into Elemental Energies, which allows it to blend in with the other Elementals, but I can't do that with my body. My Demon Car doesn't have a Center or mind. I do. I mean, technically, I could turn into an Elemental, but that would destroy my mind. I would literally be a regular Elemental.'
'What to do...'
'Go for an easy level up in the Elemental Dimension and roll the dice when I reappear in the Main Dimension?'
'Go for a hard level up in the Main Dimension without the need to roll dice?'
Kyle expanded his Energy Sense to the maximum, looking at his surroundings.
'I don't sense any powerful Demons, but that doesn't mean anything. There are Primal Demons on the frontlines, which means there's some kind of mechanism or individual that sends Primal Demons to the frontlines. There's a chance that a Spirit Lord or Ascendant Demon is continuously looking at the surroundings, analyzing the Demons and sending the weakest ones to the frontlines.'
'If the Demon Car suddenly materializes out of nowhere, they would immediately notice. It might even be possible that the gigantic root network is responsible for watching and commanding the Demons.'
Kyle took a deep breath with closed eyes.
A moment later, his eyes opened, and his determined gaze turned towards the east.
'No gambling!'
'We're doing this the hard way!'
As the Demon Car flew towards the east, Kyle's room became smaller and smaller until it was just three meters wide.
'The Demon Car has several heads. If some of them get destroyed and it survives, nobody will get suspicious. However, every Demon needs a Beast Core.'
'I will be the Demon Car's Beast Core.'
'If any attack manages to reach my location...'
'It's over.'
While the Demon Car traveled, Kyle's perception focused more on it.
After some time, he wasn't even looking at himself anymore. It was almost like he had forgotten that he had a human body.
As more Demons attacked Kyle, his individuality changed.
He didn't see himself as Kyle anymore.
He was the Demon Car.
And just like a real Demon, he would kill anything and anyone that dared to block his path!
