Chapter 80: Victory of the first phase of battle.

[beast titan killed, +70 mana points]

[beast titan killed, +70 mana points]

I watched the screen, slightly surprised. I usually got 10 mana points for killing beast monsters but a beast titan was seven times the amount of mana points.

That meant my path to rapid ascension was not in slaving away killing beast monsters. I needed to find more beast titans and kill them.

I felt a hand rest gently on my shoulder and looked up.

Master Jared looked down on me with a grim face. "It's alright. You've done well".

I fought the queasiness in my stomach and stood straighter.

Aaron and Emily joined us.

"Oh thank the gods you're safe". Emily cried hysterically and threw her hands around me.

We came back and you were not there so we figured you were in trouble so I ran all the way to the castle and I was so worried we wouldn't make it in time but…

I patted her on the back gently. "It's fine. You made in time and saved me".

More like you saved the entire kingdom. Aaron said. "We now know of the portals thanks to you".

He frowned. "Although we didn't know earlier because of you".

I smiled. "I guess I deserve thanks and a rebuttal then".

Aaron smiled back and looked at the portal.

"What do we do about this?"

"Shut it down, I guess". I replied.

Master Jared ventured closer to the portal. "Hmm, and do you suppose we do that?"

He examined the portal carefully.

I shrugged and looked down at the bodies of the beast titans.

A shiny object caught my eye and I peered closer at the first titan.

The glow came from a small gem tied to his necklace.

The pinkish glow matched with the one on top of the portal.

I turned to them. "You guys know how doors have locks and keys?"

They nodded.

I pointed to the portal. A portal is a doorway between two worlds, which means it probably has a lock and a key as well.

Aaron frowned. "Where are you going with this?"

I pointed to the gem around the first titan's neck.

Then I pointed to the gem on top of the portal.

They followed the direction of my hand.

Aaron walked up to the titan and took the necklace off his neck.

The pendant dangled in the air as he held the chain.

"So what you're saying is that this gem and that gem could somehow be the lock and key to that portal".

He went closer to the portal and raised the gem towards it.

"Wait". Master Jared said. "What happens when we close the portal?"

Huh? I replied.

"When you close the portal, do the beast monster disappear or they still remain behind?"

I thought about for a while. "I don't know".

"If the portal was not important, they wouldn't have two beast monster here guarding it". Aaron said. "They clearly needed it open for some reason".

"And that should be enough reason to shut it down". I replied.

Master Jared nodded. "Very well then".

Aaron raised the necklace to the gem.

Snap ~

There was low snapping sound as the necklace flew to the gem, and they gummed together.

The gems glowed brightly, then they dimmed and the portal closed.

The gems fell to the floor. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Aaron reached down to pick it but master Jared stopped him.

"I'll handle that". He said and picked the two gems gingerly.

Now we need to go back and help them at the gate. He said.

We nodded and walked out of the gate.

****

At the castle, the beasts monsters were still there but if you observed closely, they were notably weaker than when the portal was open.

The mages easily cut them down now and their numbers were steadily dropping.

I joined the mages and immediately faced the beast monsters.

I kept on killing as many as I could, feeling exhaustion growing in my body.

Eventually, there were no beast monsters moving anymore. Lifeless bodies of the beast monsters littered the ground and the mages stood triumphant.

Trumpets sounded and a loud shout of triumph filled the air.

The mages began to rejoice and a cry of euphoria spread among all of us.

Emily hugged me tightly. "We did it, we're safe, thanks to you".

I was very tired and completely weak but as her body rubbed against mine, I felt my rod grow in response.

I needed to plan some alone time with her after all was said and done.

Emily felt my growing member and shifted away from it but I held her tight, preventing her from going and I leaned in to peck her cheek.

She blushed hard.

Just then master Jared walked over to us.

He cleared his throat. "May I speak with Levi for a moment".

Emily nodded and let go of me, she went to join Aaron who was now talking animatedly with Liam.

"You helped us greatly today". Master jared said. "We are indebted to you".

I bowed politely.

"I'll tell the emperor about what you did when were giving him the overall report". He continued.

So try to get some rest today and be expecting a summons to the palace tomorrow.

I nodded and master jared left.

Emily, Aaron and Liam came to meet me as soon as he left.

"Where is Zoe?" I asked frowning.

"She's with the healers, she's helping them nurse the wounded".

I heaved a small sigh of relief, I had assumed the worst when I didn't see her with them.

"Dude I heard you were amazing out there". Liam said as he gave me a gentle bump on the shoulder.

"I'm sure they were exaggerating". I replied with a smile and turned to Emily.

"Can I speak to you for a second".

She nodded and we broke apart from the squad.

"What are you doing tonight?" I asked her.

"Uhmm.. nothing". She replied.

I smiled. "That's good. Meet me at the garden by midnight".

She raised a brow in confusion but nodded. "Okay".

Then I got a new notification.
