The pixie flew while the wolf started running, following behind her.

At this moment, on the other side, Olivia walked closer to the portal, her senses trying to feel what energy made the portal.

As she now uses both mana and Qi, she understands there are different types of energy.

Based on what she feels now, Olivia is sure it's mana combined with some other type of energy that she doesn't know of.

It feels sinister...

Emily looked at Olivia. She just wanted to ask what she was doing when suddenly Olivia entered through the portal.

"ZOLD!"

Emily instinctively called his name since he was the fastest between them. She didn't see it clearly, but it looked like Olivia was being pulled by something.

Zold's body moved like lightning, entering through the portal. Quartz was caught off guard, frozen, seeing what happened, while Petricia told Alex about this.

Inside the portal, Zold found himself surrounded by darkness.

The only source of light came from the crackle of his thunder. His body shook as he looked around the area.

The sky, the floor, everything around him, at first second, seemed like there was nothing. But then it slid open, showing eyeballs that gazed toward him.

Zold could feel his hair stand on end; he quickly looked for Olivia. With his eyes opened, the surroundings became clearer, allowing him to see the silhouette of Olivia's body.

Zap!

He appeared beside Olivia and then tapped on her shoulder, but Olivia didn't respond.

Moving in front of her, Zold saw her eyes were blank; she ignored Zold and tried to move toward one of the giant eyes.

Zold's mind started churning, thinking about what he could do to stop her as he observed the area.

He then realized the irises of the eyes were a portal similar to the one he had passed through, but with how many there were, he didn't know which one led to where.

Many of the portals also have different colors; he doesn't know if it means the portal is not activated or if it has some other meaning.

BAM!

Zold finally decided to hit her on the neck. He then turned around, wanting to return back from the portal he just entered.

But everything looked the same; he closed his eyes, trying to remember by his body how far he had moved.

As he often trained himself to practice using electricity, oftentimes he could not use his eyes since he was moving too fast for them to follow.

This made him use all his senses, trying to imagine his own location. After many practices, with trial and error, Zold finally found a way through this.

He used his electricity, spreading it all around the area, then using a technique similar to how sonar works. At some point, after he got used to it, he could instinctively feel his own location.

Zold quickly moved back, reaching toward the portal where he had just once in, but just as he inched away from it, the eye closed its lid, effectively blocking his way.

This quickly made Zold turn alert; he took out a rope from his storage ring, then tied Olivia to his back while taking out his two daggers.

CLANG! CLANG!

He tried to attack the eyelid, but there was no effect at all.

'Should I try entering another portal? But it will be even more dangerous.' As he thought this, the eyes surrounding him started closing one by one.

This made Zold sure someone or something was looking at him right now.

"Awooo!!!" A wolf howl suddenly reached his ears, pulling Zold's attention.

He raised his arm, prepared to fight, but the moment he saw the wolf, relief washed over him. He recognized that wolf; it was one of Alex's creatures.

Alex gave a way for his allies to recognize which one was his to make sure there were no friendly fire incidents.

Each of his wolves has a collar on the neck, with a special marking that only people from the Old Suzaku Guild will recognize.

He quickly followed the wolf toward one of the areas, but a similar thing happened: the eyelids also started to close, but this time Zold was prepared.

He put one of his hands, wanting to bring the wolf with him, but the wolf dodged and pushed him forward by tackling his back.

Alex ordered the wolf to do a suicide mission to look at what was behind another portal. After seeing Zold disappear from it, followed by the eyelid closing, the wolf started turning his gaze around the area.

Its eyes then locked toward the only eyes that were still open. Arriving in front of it, the wolf just wanted to lunge in when something came out.

SLASH!!!

Back at the secret realm, Alex, who was now moving toward the entrance to the mother tree, suddenly stopped, landing on the ground as if being hit by something.

This turned William alert, making him look around the area; seeing nothing, he landed beside Alex.

"Has something happened?"

Alex's body was covered with sweat as his heart beat loudly, "What the hell is that, Vesa?"

[I never saw one of those, but I think you don't need to worry; based on the information I get, it should not be alive; it's something like a golem that protects the place.]

'Are you sure it's really not alive? Not like the corrupted Felidaens?' Alex asked in his mind while he tried to calm himself down.

The reason he felt like this is not because of what he saw but what he felt. Everything the wolf felt at that moment was transmitted to him.

It's more than just a feeling of death; it's like something is corroding the wolf's existence, taking out its free will and giving him an overwhelming feeling of dread.
