Exiting the portal from Sistina to Sanshiro, we immediately stepped into a battlefield. At first, only a few of us were planning to come, but one look around had us retreating back to call for reinforcements. While Eryn couldn’t follow us into the capital of Sistina, she remained one step ahead of us, somehow guessing
An alarm rang out across Yakuman the moment a portal opened up near its borders. The city itself was equipped with a holy barrier that guarded against magic from the outside, so portals could not be directly cast into the area. The divine magic from the Oracle, as well as artifacts blessed by her, prevented
Seeing the blond-haired psuedo-ninja revived a sense of hope, especially since I knew that she couldn’t have come here without some help. The portal in the sky was proof of that. It took but a moment for her to scan the surroundings and discern friend from foe. Pulling out a portal gun of her own,

A dark, cloudy sky greeted me as I opened my eyes. I couldn’t move, even to tilt my head. All I could tell was the ground upon my back, my body paralyzed and my vision swimming. I felt pain. Enough so to understand something dreadful had happened to me, but a wave of warmth and
“My Queen, we can find no trace of the Chancellor anywhere. Neither have we found remnants of the Mad Empress or Lamps Magellan.” The solemn expression that Ludmila carried spread throughout the throne room. But for Queen Katalina, she had to hide her tears. It wouldn’t do for her to get emotional. Not in such
