Dawnshire City
Numerous streaks of light appeared at a Teleportation Platform, gracing their presence in the city.
Stepping out of the platform, Gentle Wind subsequently took a deep breath in.
"The mana density here is superior to Riverwood Town." She exclaimed, feeling the changes right away. She felt her mind had been cleared and the control of her body increased by at least 10 percent.
Steelshot, SilentWhisper, and the other elite members nodded in agreement.
"This is indeed a new era," SilentWhisper muttered, realizing the game had finally undergone a new phase.
"The city of era." Steelshot chimed in. "I'm sure other guilds are catching up to us as well, so we need to hurry up. We can't give them any opening to surpass us."
The rest agreed with Steelshot's words.
They worked so hard and grinded day and night to widen the gap between the other guilds. There was no way they would attempt to enjoy the city scenery and relax.
"Alright, let's grind quickly at the Dawnery Wine field. The monsters there drop abundant EXP, as well as critical materials for us." Gentle Wind instructed, following the extensive city guide.
Others might be lost by the majestic sight and vast expanse of Dawnshire City, but not for her. She didn't doubt the authenticity of the guide either, considering the hefty price they paid for it.
Unless Lin Feng's boss's vision had turned to trash, there was no way they would destroy their reputation for some petty money.
Thus, she was going to maximize the guide to her guild's advantage.
And while Gentle Wind began the new era in Dawnshire City, back at the dimension plane, Xu Feng and Carmen remained trapped.
"Not here either, Guild Leader." Carmen panted heavily and smiled bitterly. By now, her mana had already been drained to zero, and never once did she think it would affect her movements and actions.
At most, she merely thought having zero mana meant that she could no longer use skills, but that was a pipe dream.
Yet Carmen somehow sensed the mana fluctuation?
'Could it be one needed to have their mana drained completely? No, that wouldn't make sense.' As Xu Feng pondered over this, he suddenly thought of another possibility.
The port could possibly require a substantial amount of mana to activate. Hence, there was no fluctuation previously whatsoever.
Without the required mana, it would naturally remain dormant, unable to be detected.
And since Carmen's mana was the highest among the two, the port automatically chose Carmen to extract.
Now Xu Feng felt even somewhat pitiful for her. Because she was high level and had an abundant amount of mana, she was drained completely to such a state.
"Ahem, I know it's not right to ask you to move when you're in such a state, but we should locate the port to get out of here quickly." Xu Feng faked a cough and urged her to hurry up in a roundabout manner.
Although it was true they needed to hurry, Carmen gritted her teeth at his heartlessness.
'What happened to the earlier concern?' She shouted internally, seemingly believing he was faking it.
Nevertheless, she still placed her hand around Xu Feng's shoulder, using his strength to begin walking as she guided them to a specific coordinate.
Shortly after arriving at an unseemly location, Carmen said, "The mana fluctuation is the densest here."
"Here huh?" Xu Feng raised an eyebrow, clearly not seeing anything special.
However, he didn't find it surprising, given the contributor might be the only one to see the uniqueness.
"Eh... So how do I activate the port?" Carmen turned her head to him, seemingly asking for advice.
"Right, can you point at the origin of the fluctuation?" Xu Feng smiled awkwardly. "I'll need to inject mana there, but it's probably impossible for you."
Instantaneously, Carmen glared at him, clearly faulting him for having lower mana than her despite being the guild leader. 'A guild leader is lower level than the only member of the guild. Just what kind of guild did I join? A scamming guild?'
