After carefully studying the miniature city model in his hand for a while, Austin deduced that it could grow or shrink whenever he wanted to.
So he tested his theory and conducted experiments right away in order to find out if it was true or not.
"Get smaller!" He ordered the city model in his mind.
The city immediately quivered and began to shrink rapidly.
After a few seconds, it had shrunk to the size of a peanut! "Go on! Keep shrinking," Austin ordered it once more as his will was transmitted towards the city.
In an instant, there lay the city in Austin's hand, which was as small as a grain of sand. It was so tiny that Austin could barely see it anymore.
However, the City stopped shrinking even further afterwards no matter how hard Austin tried to do so.
Austin then realized that this must be its smallest size, and trying to shrink it even further was just a pointless attempt. Next, he decided to test just how big it could grow.
"Get bigger!" Austin controlled the city with his will once more, this tordering it to expand.
And suddenly, the city was like a balloon which kept on expanding and expanding.
It grew tically in size, from being as tiny as a grain of sand to the size of a peanut, and then to as big as a fist, which grew further to the size of a ball.
Then it suddenly rose from Austin's grasp and was suspended midair as it continued to grow even further...
Austin and the gnstared wide-eyed, shock and utter amazement written all over their faces, as the city kept on growing like crazy.
The city model grew to the size of a house at first, then it suddenly expanded hundreds of square meters in size, and then it expanded further to thousands of square meters in the blink of an eye...
Until finally, an imposing city popped out in the sky.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt covered the entire valley below, blocking off the sunlight and enveloping the entire area in complete darkness. It was as if night suddenly fell on the whole valley.
"Well, it looks like | don't need to make it grow even larger. It has already reached thousands of square meters," Austin uttered in satisfaction.
He could clearly feel the changes in the city model as if he was connected with it.
"Yes, it has its own inner space apart from ours. It is another entirely different world which is tens of thousands of square meters large.
And it can occupy thousands of square meters in the outside world.
But, boy, with the level of spiritual soul energy you have now, you are only capable of supporting the external area of this city for just up to a few thousand square meters. Am | right? If your spiritual soul energy were much stronger, perhaps the city could expand even further," the gnspeculated, after he unleashed his beast soul energy to sense the entire city.
"Yes. What you have concluded is quite true." Austin nodded and quickly added, "With my current spiritual soul energy level, | am only capable of growing the city to just thousands of square meters in a very short moment.
The maximum external area which | can maintain for a long tis only about 1, 000 square meters large." "Ha-ha, but it's already quite amazing how you handled this! Look, this city should be considered a more valuable treasure than the divine weapon. Just looking at the sheer size of this must mean that it is an extremely powerful weapon.
Think of it this way, the next tthat you are in a fight with someone, you can simply enlarge it to a thousand square meters and hurl this at your enemy.
It can easily smash people," jested the gnwith a silly smile on his mouth.
Austin's eyes lit up with sudden interest after hearing the wild idea.
"That's actually a great idea! Why didn't | ever thought of that before?" Austin exclaimed.
"Throwing such a large city at the enemy would probably kill many people at one go. It's such an efficient weapon." Just imagining what could happen made him laugh with excitement. He was very determined to try it out whenever he found the chance. It was just like throwing a large rock at a large group of ants and squishing them instantly without even breaking a sweat.
"And also, when you're being chased, you can simply hide in the city and shrink it into the size of a grain of sand. The enemy would seriously never find you if you do that." The gnpitched in another brilliant but crazy idea.
Austin patted himself on the head in utter surprise with the idea.
"Yeah, you are right! Why didn't | think of that before either? Gnome, you are seriously so smart!" Austin clapped his hands in sheer excitement. He was acting like little kid who just received a present for his birthday.
The inner structure of the city model was pretty complicated, and it contained numerous isolation areas, which functioned like a prison cell and could isolate the human spiritual sense.
Despite the fact that the gnwielded a powerful beast soul energy, he still failed to locate the model hidden in the abandoned nest filled with dead branches and leaves.
But Austin easily detected it, because he had already owned the city by refining the blue stone, and he had a strong spiritual connection with it.
Otherwise, he would have had a hard tlocating it.
If the city were to becthe size of a grain of sand, even a master at the Astral Realm would find it difficult to discover its whereabouts.
"Hhm boy, get this, I'm at least a hundred years old now. And you, less than twenty years old? You are nothing but a baby compared with someone like me.
Your level of imagination is not nearly as amazing with mine," the gnsaid with a haughty look on his face.
It was as if he was looking down on Austin's capabilities.
"Why you..." Austin grinned and shook his head. He actually wanted to laugh right now because of what the gnsaid.
Seeing him act like an elder was so funny yet annoying at the stime. He even wanted to beat the gnup just to prove him wrong, but Austin just let him be.
Then Austin made a wave and the floating city shrank to the size of a fist in an instant, and fell into his hand.
"Amazingly, whatever changes are done on the external area, the internal space of the city will remain the same.
The inner space of the city is very stable, with an expanse of about tens of thousands of square meters. That's just amazing! Such a divine weapon should have an awesname! Sadly | don't know what it's called. Hmm, letthink. Until we find out its real nand rank, how about we just call it the City for now? | think it's simple and straightforward, and it suits the weapon very well!" Austin stated, and a sense of relief was evident in his tone.
After pausing for a few seconds, he continued, "All right then, let's go in. We have discovered enough about this City. Violet and the other three are still in the City's Illusory Palace." Then Austin transmitted his will once more towards the City, and a Corrosive Cloud suddenly floated out of it.
Austin and the gnwere then enveloped within the Corrosive Cloud, and instantly transported within the City.
Apparently, the City had the ability to transport people its interior space. And the Corrosive Cloud acted as the shuttle, which transported people from the outside world in to the inner space of the City.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course, only the owner of the City was capable of controlling this power.
And now, the City was owned by Austin, so he alone could control the power to transport other people in and out of the City.
The Illusory Palace was located at the heart of the City.
At that moment, Violet, Tessa, Dahlia and the maid were trapped within a magic array inside the palace grounds.
The magic array itself was not that powerful, and Violet's beast soul energy was strong enough to cancel out its influence on the other three girls.
Besides, the magic array was surrounded by five corpse demons, hundreds of corpse generals and the nine scorpion-tailed leopards. They all stood guard around the magic array.
And they were all waiting for Austin.
Everyone started to feel annoyed and tense when Austin was still unable to show up after a while now.
"Violet, what do you think the lecher is doing right now? And what's taking him so long? Do you think he has already left us behind and escaped on his own?" Dahlia asked impatiently and anxiously.
Dahlia was an outgoing and extrovert kind of girl. She easily connected with strangers and becfamiliar with them in a short span of time.
And Violet knew that Dahlia had a bold tongue, so she chose to ignore her offensive questions about Austin.
"Oh, Dahlia, stop worrying already. | know my master. He's not the type of person who leaves people behind for his own selfish gain," Violet confidently stated and smiled to placate Dahlia.
"Well, | hope so," Dahlia muttered.
"By the way, Violet, why do you even call that lecher master?" Dahlia suddenly beccurious about Austin's relationship with Violet.
"In my opinion, he's not even a good man.
Violet, be careful not to be deceived by him! Don't trust him too much or you might get hurt." "Yeah, Violet, | have always wondered why you call Austin as your master?" Tessa, who also took an interest in their relationship, approached Violet, and curiously asked. It was as if Austin and Violet's relationship was too unexpected.
Violet had always maintained the form of a human girl, and her beast soul energy's power and her amazing talent for illusions were so amazing that she could perfectly cover up her smell as a demonic beast. One would easily be fooled by her appearance if they were not strong enough to identify her true identity.
Which was why Tessa, Dahlia, and the maid initially believed that Violet was a real human. The level of their spiritual sense was not strong enough to discover her true form.
"Sorry, it's a secret betweenand my master.
I am not allowed to disclose this matter to you, so please don't ask this question again," Violet refused flat out to answer their queries.
