Chapter 855 Four Pillars: Special Case

Chapter 855 Four Pillars: Special Case

With the expectations of meeting Vaughn again once he had made his way to the Gates of Transcendence, Valyr was only caught slightly off guard once the man had appeared before him in the Gates of Awakening.

After all, the man had already done a similar thing back when he was making his way towards the Hall of Legends and Myths.

'Speaking of which... I should really find the time to take a look at the staff,' thought Valyr to himself as the memory came to mind, inwardly adorning a bitter smile on his face as he thought about how he had not taken a look at Sellifer's weapon all this time.

Faintly shaking his head as he pushed the thought aside for the meantime, the young man refocused his attention towards the man before him. Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Thinking about what Vaughn had said to him just now, a trace of confusion appeared on Valyr's face. "Why the rush? It's not like I would decide to give up on entering the Gates of Transcendence after putting in this much effort."

"I know." Vaughn nodded in agreement. "But that's not the reason why I said those words."

Pointing at the young man with a calm expression, he continued, "Instead, you're the reason, especially with what's happening in Veldanyr at the moment."

Whoosh!

As those words left Vaughn's mouth, the man conjured a rift that allowed Valyr to obtain a bird's eye view of what was going on in the outside world at the moment.

Though the events that were unfolding on the other side of the rift were happening at a speed equivalent to the difference in time between the two areas, it did not take long for the young man's expression to turn grim as he realized what was happening.

"The orcs..." murmured Valyr, continuing to look at the rift for a bit more as he thought about the decisions the other four have made.

From what started off as a small skirmish between the orcs and one of the kingdoms, it had expanded to cover multiple kingdoms by the time a few months had passed since the five of them had entered the inheritance.

Now that he had spent a total of nine months in the inheritance, the state of the war had seemingly worsened as the Meltierre Empire from their side had finally gotten embroiled in the war as well.

Wondering why Vaughn had brought him to what felt like the base of the mountain where the Gates of Awakening was situated on, the young man immediately obtained his answer as he looked at the large jade door before the two of them.

"Is this..." Feeling a sense of closeness towards the door, Valyr looked at Vaughn for confirmation.

In response, Vaughn nodded back, urging the young man to move forward. "Indeed, it is."

"The entrance to the Gates of Transcendence."

Nodding at those words, Valyr took a few steps forward, only to stop as he felt that the current situation didn't add up.

"Wait a second... don't I need to go through trials or anything? Show the Gates of Transcendence that I'm a worthy member?" Turning around to look back at Vaughn, the young man asked this question, basing it off his experiences with the two other organizations thus far.

"This one's different." Vaughn shook his head. "With how you're the only one among your group that could enter the place, there's no need to go through trials anymore."

"Wait, that doesn't make sense," replied Valyr back, even though he continued to move closer to the entrance. "Shouldn't the organizations making up the Triad Gates have similar protocols to which beings could enter the organization or not?"

"That's normally the case." Vaughn agreed. "But to sum things up, our current situation is a special case."

"Does it have something to do with the fact that we're rushing through it because of the war with the orcs?" asked Valyr.

"Somewhat," said Vaughn, tilting his head left and right. "That's definitely a good reason why we're not going through usual protocol."

"But the real reason why we're not going to go through all that is that I've chosen you to inherit my position as the owner of this inheritance."

"..."

"..."

"...huh?"
